What I have been loving at the moment...

 I feel like the last few months have been pretty interesting for me beauty-wise. I always loved beauty but the past few months, I have been really finding products that suit me, my skin type and products that work for me. In this post, I am going to be giving you a run-down of a few of my favourites including one miscellaneous product thrown in for good measure.. a candle!

Lush Sleepy Body Lotion: I love this little pot! I love lavender and this body lotion is the perfect scent of lavender. It's not too sweet but sweet enough. Perfect for putting on after you've had a hectic day, got out of the shower and put on your fav night wear. It's definitely lush (excuse the pun!)

Urban Decay All-Nighter: I have got the travel size of this spray as I had never tried it before despite hearing countless good reviews and it definitely does live up to its hype - I will be buying the full size when this runs out! It does exactly what it supposed to amazingly - keeps my make-up on all day (or night!)

Revolution Foundation Stick: This was a new release when I first tried it and I love it. I have a shade a bit too dark for me but once blended that small error is unnoticeable and is wearable. Its long lasting and definitely gives full coverage. I have normal/combination skin so this type of foundation is perfect for my skin type. Will definitely be repurchasing.

Maybelline Face Studio Primer: This stuff is amazing! Does exactly what it says on the packaging - minimizes and blurs pores. I use this under my foundation and I also find it helps my foundation last longer too which is fab! Love Love Love!


Mario Badescu Drying Lotion: Despite being 24 (25 in July) my skin stills plays up and presents me with a little spot, or two, very occasionally. This drying lotion helps dry my spot up and it is gone within a day or two (or at least is reduced). I was recommended this and I really like it. Would definitely consider using other Mario Badescu products in the future. I want to try their facial toning mist.

LAB Lemon Vanilla Candle: I loveee this candle (and candles in general!). This one by LAB has a lovely sweet scent - Lemon, Vanilla with a hint of Coconut. Its very refreshing! and I am 100% repurchasing in the future!

Have you tried any of these products?

The Spring Edit '19

Although the current grey skies are saying the opposite, British summer time begins next Sunday! The warmer temperatures and, hopefully, sunny weather is on its way and what better way to speed up the process than lifting the mood with a transformation of your wardrobe into a spring wonderland?

I have whittled down some of my favourite pieces that I've found for six different trends this upcoming season that will have you dreaming of the sunnier days. Enjoy!

Feminine Florals

ASOS DESIGN Wrap double layer mini dress in ditsy floral print with belt - Asos.com - £32.00

Florals are known for making an appearance at this type of year but this year they will be out in full force. Prints in general going to be a bit hit of Spring and Summer 2019. In terms of colour, pastels are again hitting the big time on both the runways and on the high street. This mint green dress is absolutely gorgeous and the belt complement the dress and the figure.

Acid Wash

Bleach Acid Wash Mom Jeans - Topshop - £40.00 (available in regular, tall and petite)

The 90s trend is back in full force this season and acid wash denim is what is currently gracing the stores. This light wash is perfect for the upcoming season and paired with a cute simple logo tee and trainers, you are ready for Spring. The mom jean fit is also a comfortable and casual way to wear this denim. You can also style these up with a lace (another big trend for SS19) bodysuit and heels for the perfect stylish evening wear.

Walking on Sunshine

Yellow Paperbag Waist Shorts - £32.00 / Yellow Cropped Denim Jacket - £48.00 - both River Island

What colour do we think of when someone mentions spring.... Yellow of course! This beautiful two piece from River Island just screams SS19! The cute belt detailing makes it a perfect fit and the jacket will compliment those breezier evenings we tend to get in the Spring. Pair this with a pair of trainers for daytime or heels for a more dressed up look.

Utility

Khaki Belted Utility Jacket - New Look - £29.99

This trend has never really gone out of fashion to be honest, has it? The utility style offers a casual and stylish look and can be astyled in the form of a boilersuit or added to any outfit to give it a 'utility' edge with a jacket like this khaki green belted one from one of my favourite stores, New Look! Wear this over a dress or style with a pair of skinny jeans for a more casual look!

Into the Wild

Camel Dalmatian Spot Print Midi Slip Skirt - Missguided - £18.00

Animal prints have been everywhere recently and SS19 is going to show it off even more! This style can be dressed up or down for the season and can be even added to an outfit in the form of accessories. This beautiful midi slip skirt is perfect for daytime, styled with a pair of white trainers or styled with black heels and a bodysuit for that wild evening look! 

Rose Tint

I Be-leaf in You Floral Maxi Dress - Nasty Gal - £39.00

Is it even spring if we don't add a bit of pink to our wardrobes? Pink can be worn in the form of neon (another huge trend at the moment) or in the form of muted dusky pink which gives off the rose tint vibe! This gorgeous dress from Nasty Gal gives a boho style look and can be paired with a pair of boots, sandals or heels depending on the occasion. Styled with accessories like a cute belt or necklaces really compliments the look and will make sure you are SS19 ready!

If any, which of these trends do you think you will be sporting this spring? What are the trends you are most looking forward to this season?

Sunday Funday

What a beautiful day! Blue skies and Sunshine. Spring is fast approaching!

Today's post is a style one. I have brought a bit of Spring into my outfit with a splash of pink in my cropped jumper, yes cropped in March! I got my jumper from I Saw It First and I paired it with one of my favourite pieces from the past season - my paperbag waist leather look shorts from ASOS. These shorts have been a staple in my wardrobe since purchasing them back in January and I have styled for daytime - like today's post - and for an evening look with a leopard print shirt and thigh high boots. But for today, I have teamed them with black tights (Primark) and my buckled biker boots (New Look) for a stylish, but practical, everyday look. These boots are actually surprisingly a lot comfier than they look too!

Hope everyone has a fab Sunday!
