I've never done a current fotd post before on my blog, so i thought i'd try something new. This fotd post is a collab with the ever so gorgeous Gabriella! Her blog is amazing and she is a true inspiration to me, so go check it out and leave her a lovely comment http://gabriellalovesxo.blogspot.co.uk/ 

My Current Daily Products:
Rimmel London - Match Perfection Foundation
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder
NYC BB Cream
Rimmel London Natural Bronzer 
W7 In the Buff, Natural Nudes Eyeshadow Pallette
Miss Sporty Studio Lash Mascara
Rimmel London Colour Rush Lip Crayon- In the shade: 'not an illusion'

My everyday makeup routine is usually based around these products, the steps i follow are below:

First i apply a thin layer of 'NYC BB Cream' focusing mostly on my forehead and T Zone.
Then i apply my 'Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation' all over my face, making sure its completley blended down my neck and around my hairline.
I set this with my 'Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder' focusing on my T Zone and chin.
I like to add some colour to my face using the 'Rimmel London Natural Bronzer' where i will either contour a little of just add some of the powder around my face.
I then take my 'W7 In the buff' eyeshadow palette and take the 2 lightest shades and apply to my eyelid as a base, i then take one of the browns or golds to add into the crease of my eye and blend out.
I like to finish my eyes using 'Miss Sporty mascara' in black and apply a few coats on both my upper and lower lashes.
To finish the look i like to add a coat of my favourite lipstick/crayon, the 'Rimmel London Lip Crayon in not an illusion' this gives off a lovely pink/coral shade and can be made darker by applying more.

Rimmel London 'Naural Bronzer'
MUA 'Twelfth Night' eyeshadow palette
Rimmel London colour crayon in 'Not an illusion'
NYC 'BB Cream' in 001 light
Rimmel London 'Match Perfection' foundation

There have been a lot of you asking me for my top drugstore products, so i have picked out 5 of them for you today. Everyone has those times when you're struggling with money but you are in desperate need of new makeup. Well, there are many drugstores out there today that provide you with cheap but good quality makeup.

The first product i have chosen to be in my top 5 is the 'Rimmel London Natural Bronzer'. I've always struggled with getting a bronzer light enough for my pale skin, that doesn't look orange, when i stumbled across this one by Rimmel costing only £5.99. I tried it and i feel in love instantly! its not a shimmer or glittery bronzer but it's not completely matte either so it gives you a really subtle brown tone to your face. I use this for warmer up my face as well as contouring just a little with it. I would definitely recommend this to those who are looking for a subtle bronzer for an everyday basis.

Next, has to be my all time favourite at the moment, it's the 'MUA Twelfth Night palette' now i haven't been a huge fan of eye shadows, mainly because i'm too lazy and impatient to apply it, but i was drawn to this especially being only £4. It includes mainly shimmer/glitter shadows but they have an element of matteness to them as well. I really like the deep forest green and purple/plum colour for crease shading. This is definitely for those who don't use a lot of eye shadow but once in a while was to change their look up a bit.

Now the next product seems like it was made for me. I struggle with extremley dry skin on my forehead and around my eyebrows, it is worse in the winter! so i tend to not want to apply foundation where its dry because it can become flaky and not very nice, so this bb cream is perfect for me because its more of a moisturizer with a bit of colour than a foundation, its extremely lightweight but does give decent coverage. This was only £3.99 which is one of the cheapest BB creams i have stumbled across.

When i do want to wear foundation for a little more extra coverage, i tend to stick to one and thats the Rimmel London Match Perfection foundation as i find it gives quite a dewy finish but can easily be matted out with some powder. I have the lightest shade there is which is 010 Light Porceline which i find is enough for my skin colour. This foundation is £6.99 and has lasted me AGES.

So i skipped out a product and left it to last because i want to emphasize how much i LOVE this product. Now i wasn't a huge lippy fan before i found this. This is the Rimmel London colour crayon in 'Not an illusion' which is a lipstick mixed with a lip shine and lip balm. It has an incredible shine to it and moisturizes the lips so well, These can be added in huge amounts for a strong colour, or can be added lightly for a subtle look and they only cost £5.99. They do a range of colours and i'm obsessed okay?

I hope you guys enjoyed this post and have found my recommendations helpful. Down below i have pictures of the eye shadow palette close up so you can see the colours properly and also i have swabbed the lip crayon in a image down below too.

Keeping organised with blogging when having to deal with everyday life including college or school or even work, can be difficult. I've especially found it hard to keep on track with new blog posts. So i thought this post could be about how i keep up to date with blogging, as well as how i plan out my blog posts.

So, when on the go i always have blog post ideas come to me. So i carry round a 'Personal Organizer' and A4 notebook. The personal organizer was a gift so i'm not sure where it is from but i know you can get them pretty much everywhere. The notebook i have is from Cath Kidston and was around £10. 


My notebook is where i write a list of potential blog posts including how i'm going to write and produce them. I like to write a step by step guide of what i'm going to include in the blog post as well as some ideas on what i want to write. The personal organizer is also used for personal things as-well, but inside there is a notes page, calender, and to do lists. This is generally where i write my stuff. I use the calender to write WHEN and HOW i'm going to write my blog posts, this helps me keep a deadline for when i want to post. I use the to do lists to write down any objects or things i may need for a blog post, this makes sure that i have everything i could possibly need (so i don't have to run into town to buy supplies).


Generally, these techniques and organisation books help me keep to a rota and fit in all my deadlines for blogging as well as college life, dancing, and my volunteering. As i am a VERY busy girl during the week.


I hope this helps you fellow bloggers who find it hard to keep organised with blogging. I'd love to hear about any tips you do, so leave some in the comments below.

A new year can mean a number of things for different people, maybe for you it means a new start, or continuing on the same as you were. No one can decide what you make of stepping into a new year but there's one thing i want you all to remember, and that is; you do what you want to do, do what makes you happy and make 2015 a year to remember!

Happy New Year! and i'll see you soon x

'Powder Brush', 'Stipler Brush', 'Foundation Brush', 'Smokey eye duo Brush'

Hiya lovelies, so I'm back with another review type post. For Christmas, I was given some make-up brushes from my lovely mum and when I opened them I thought she had spent a considerable amount of money on the very famous 'Real Technique' brushes, but I was fooled! They we'rent branded brushes, in fact they were from 'Wilkinson's' which shocked me extremely.

I looked online and these brushes are retailed at a very cheap £3.99 ish, and they look exactly like 'Real Techniques'. The quality of these brushes are incredible, I was surprised because I thought the bristles in the brushes would be falling out everywhere (like usual 'cheaper' brushes) but they didn't. I actually prefer these brushes because they are so much softer and are much better are applying make-up with.

Overall, I am so happy with these brushes and will definitely be returning to buy some more.

*let me know in the comments what brand are your favourite make-up brushes*

Left To Right
Black Chelsea Boots - H&M - £24.99
Chestnut Short Ugg Boots - Ugg Australia - £150.00
Black Double Buckle Rider Boots - Primark - £11.00

For the fall I've been looking for some decent well made boots, that were versatile and comfortable. So here I have my top 3 picks that I have been loving this fall.

The first are plain black Chelsea boots, these have been extremely popular throughout the past few months, so I found a pair that are super comfy and are retailed at a good price. These only cost £24.99 which is a bargain for a decent pair of boots.

The second are A LOT more expensive and I know not everyone is able to afford these, but I thought I would share them with you because I've been wearing them all the time recently. These are UGG boots from the Australian company and I got them for Christmas last year from my dad and I am in love with them, they are very versatile and super soft inside.

The last ones are the cheapest ones but still have really good quality. They are from Primark and have a padded inside so they are good when wearing them for a long time. The heel isn't too high and resemble a biker/rider boot with double buckles.

So I hope you enjoyed my top picks, if you did comment below your favourite boots or shoes for fall.

What is your favourite thing about autumn and winter?
My favourite thing about autumn in the colours, i love when the leaves turn golden and brown and fall on the floor, i just love it. Then my favourite thing about winter, is obviously CHRISTMAS but also i love the cosy jumpers and boots.

What are you 3 autumn essentials?
My autumn essentials are; jumpers- their a must have, candles- to make your room super cosy and smell amazing, then i would say boots, my favourites are chelsea boots- i find they go well with nearly everything and are super comfy as well.

When do you start getting ready for Christmas?
um, i don't have a specific time, usually its at the end of November, although i think it really starts when you see the coca cola advert on TV, that makes it definite. 

Favourite lipstick?
Favourite lipstick would have to be 'Ruby Woo' by MAC cosmetics, just because its a deep red/purple with blue undertones and i think its just perfect for autumn.

Favourite autumn snacks?
um, well i love shortcakes at the moment along with caramel slices.

Drink you order from Starbucks?
Recently, I've been getting the caramel hot chocolate because its so sweet and creamy, but i also tried the pumpkin spice latte the other day and that is pretty good, so it comes in a close second.

Favourite song?
I love love love 'superheroes' by The Script as well as 'thinking out loud' by Ed Sheeran.

What are your future winter blog posts?
Well... that would be a secret! no, i mean i'll be doing a few outfit ideas as well as hairstyles. I'm thinking of also doing some DIY room decorations for christmas/winter, so you'll have to keep checking to find out:)
