What's In My Travel Makeup Bag?

Hello everyone, hope you're all well! I thought I would do a little post on what's currently in my travel makeup bag, and that I've generally been using on a daily basis. I find these posts really interesting to read as I love to see the products people are trying out, current favourites and little gems they love to use. I tend to keep the majority of my makeup in my dressing table drawers but get into a routine of using the same products, which I carry around to touch up on during the day. Lately I've been loving a more fresh, natural look although a bold lip in autumn is an essential. My makeup bag is also from Ted Baker and reminds me slightly of the Tardis as it's bigger on the inside, fitting lots of makeup.

Natural Collection Blushers

Rosey Glow, Peach Melba and Pink Cloud 
 
Hello everyone, hope you're all well! Today I thought I'd do a little post on some of my favourite blushers from Natural Collection. A brand where everything is £1.99 or less, while I wouldn't recommend buying your whole makeup stash from there, their lipsticks and blushers are definitely worth a look.
 
 Rosey Glow is the more brown toned of the three whilst Peach Melba, as the name would suggest, is very peachy and quite a blogger favourite. Pink Cloud looks overly bright in the pan but transfers as a pretty pastel flush of colour. The pigmentation is great for the price and on me I find these last 5-6 hours.
 
Do you own anything from Natural Collection?

The Blogs I Love #2

Hello everyone, hope you're all well! About two months ago I wrote post entitled ' The Blogs I love' and following Sunday's #bbloggers chat I felt like doing another. There are so many amazing blogs that I've started following recently that I wanted to share with you. With fun lifestyle posts, creative recipes or well written beauty reviews, these are some of my favourite, must read blogs. 
First up is one of my latest finds, Little Red. I'd seen Lauren in quite a few twitter chats so thought I would have a look to see what her blog was like. A mixture of pretty outfit, recipe and beauty posts I knew this was a blog I needed to be following. Recently I really enjoyed this and this post, I'd highly recommend you went and had a little read.
 The next blog is actually one I discovered when I'd only just started blogging. The Mod Mermaid is written by Jess (who I swear is my long, lost, American sister) and is filled with all the beauty goodness from under the sea. Two of my favourite posts are this and this but there are so many other fantastic posts that I suggest you grab a cuppa and a spare hour or two to have a good old read.
 I may be slightly bias on this blog seeing as it is written by my best friend but it's so great I really wanted to share it with you all. Oh To Be Fabulous was created in my room the other Sunday and since then has been immersed in lots of lifestyle and fashion posts. I will definitely have the privilege of saying I was the first follower in years to come and I would highly recommend you head on over there to have a read.
Last but by no means least is Colours And Carousels. First things first I think I'm in love with the blog design! Secondly Charlotte's writing style is wonderful and so engaging. And thirdly her OOTD, product reviews and little lifestyle posts are bloomin' amazing! My favourite posts are this, this and this!


Which are your favourite blogs?

Dainty Jewellery

 
 

Hello everyone, hope you're all well! Whilst I am a huge fan of statement necklaces, lately I've been opting for more delicate, one off pieces. Most of the jewellery above are from local boutiques or family heritage. There is something far more special knowing you are wearing something that nobody else in the entire world owns. I particularly love the carousel earrings which are very unusual, I fell in love with them as soon as my eyes caught sight of them. I'm also quite found of birds in jewellery as I feel they add a delicate, wishful touch to an outfit. Whether you're wearing a pretty dress or a t-shirt and jeans, dainty jewellery will always pull a look together.
 
Which is your favourite type of jewellery?

Life Isn't All Pink Lemonade

 
 
 
 
Jumper-Topshop
Joni Jeans-Topshop
Shoes-Accessorize
Jewellery-Local Boutique

 
Hello everyone, hope you're all well! It's been quite a while since my last outfit post so I thought it was about time that I did another one. At the moment I literally live in my Joni Jeans and have loved pairing them with oversized jumpers and statement necklaces. Today I opted for a couple of jewellery pieces and my cat shoes which I bought in the Accessorize sale last year. Perfect for playing in the garden with my little sister!
 
What have you been wearing lately?

The Ultimate Concealer

 
 
Hello everyone, hope you're all well! In the past six months that I've been writing on this little blog I've barely talked about my favourite concealer. Its not often I would pin such a prestige title on a product, but for this concealer, I don't have to think twice. As you can see by the rubbed of packaging these are often used and can be found at the bottom of my handbag, coat pockets and have even been spotted in my pencil case. Presented with even the worst under eye circles, redness or blemish this superhero product will conceal it. And it won't budge.
 
For starters it only costs £4.19 so having multiple tubes lying around isn't going to set you back a fortune. I also quite like the packaging, how the stickers tell you which shade and when the name rubs off I think it looks fairly high end. It blends really easily and doesn't crease under the eyes or cake around blemishes. This product comes in four shades and I use Fair (Shade 1) in winter and Light (Shade 2) when the sun makes an appearance and my skin tone darkens slightly.
 
Out of all the concealers I've tried nothing quite beats this! Which is your ultimate concealer?
