Lifestyle | Welcoming Spring

Spring is my second favourite season after Autumn and when it comes to welcoming it I'm first to get excited, the days start to get longer and the air starts to get fresher but it stills holds some of the winter weather with the frequent showers it decides to spring on us at any moment during the day.

Fashion | Double Denim

When it comes to fashion I would class myself as not fashionable at all but this year I wanted to branch out and try new things, so I pushed myself to try to dreaded double denim! This trend is very hit and miss, you either get it right and look amazing or get it wrong and look a fool.

Spring Make Up Picks

Spring has sprung upon us and is out in all it's glory so today's post is all about my make up picks for the next few months before summer hits us. I switch my make up up quite a lot so it's always changing and I always have something new on my face but for Spring I've gone for some nice light pink tones.

April/May Haul 2014

As it was payday last week and I hadn't been shopping for myself for a while I decided to treat myself to a rather big shopping trip. I visited a few shops mainly Primark, Boots and a few other's so this will be quite a long post!

Primark
I picked up some sheer loose fitting vest's tops in a pink and black colour for £3 each, these will be perfect for summer and I can't wait to wear them.

I picked up this lovely mint green skirt for £8, it's in a really nice soft material and once it gets warmer it will look great.

This lovely necklace is my favorite purchase for £3, it's quite a simple design but looks really cute.

I've seen this sandals on a few blog posts and love them there only £4 and look really comfy, I also picked up a pair of black pumps for only £4 I have them in purple and love them so I thought I would pick some up for work.

Lush
I picked up my favorite moisturizer King Of Skin for £5.50 I love this product but as it only lasts a few uses it makes it a bit expensive to re purchase every other week. I also picked up a new bath bomb called Sakura for £3.25 it looks really cool so I can't wait to try it out!

Boots
I've been after a new make up set as my current one has run out so I opted for Revlon Colourstay and picked up there foundation for £12.49, the powder for £10.99 and the concealer for £6.99. I also picked up a new make up brush for £9.99 as my current one is a bit dirty and even after cleaning it hasn't really cleaned up that well. I also picked up nail varnish remover for £2.45 this is my favorite one as it help brittle nails which mine 100% are!

Paperchase
I noticed they had a new range of notepads out so went in to take a peak and came out with this adorable one for £6 which I love, I was suppose to look in the sale but this one was just to cute to leave behind.

Waterstone's
I'm going travelling soon to Edinburgh so I picked up this guide book to help me out for £4.99, and I'm also going to Greece soon but was unsure on where I wanted to go so I picked up a Greece guidebook to decide where I wanted to go for £7.99.

HMV
I was after the new Now cd but ended up coming away with some dvds as well ooopss! So for £14.99 I picked up the lasted Now 87. I then picked up Frozen and The 2nd Hobbit dvd in there 2 for £20 offer.

I hope you enjoyed this rather long post and would love to see what you have recently brought so please leave your links below!

Spring Nails

For Spring I love to have a natural or nude look nail, if I do paint them it will be a light shade or a really pale colour. So I decided to go through my top picks for this Spring and share them with you, they range from high street to fashion so there's something for everyone!

Barry M
I have three nail varnish's that are perfect for spring they are the Matte Vanilla, Bright Pink and Prickly Pear. I picked Vanilla and Prickly Pear for everyday use and then the Bright Pink as an alternative for going out. Barry M has prices from £2.99 and there colours are always great and perfect for any occasion.

Nails Inc
Again I have three that are great for Spring Bruton Street, Porchester Square and Portobello. I picked out Bruton Street and Porchester Square as my day time shades and then Portobello as a going out shade. Nails Inc start at £5 and can get quite pricey so it's always best to go to TKMaxx or a discount store to try dig out some Nails Inc bargains!

Lastly a shade from Estee Lauder called Rose Coral, I love this little pot of Nail Lacquer as it's the perfect shade for Spring. I received a sample size from a relative and have loved it since!

Spring Lips

For Spring my lips tend to be quite girly and shimmery with hints of pinks and orange tones, I love doing my make up in Spring as I tend to do it really natural and then add a pop of colour on my lips and I'm good to go. I've picked my favorite Lipsticks, Lip Gloss and Lip Balms for this season and hopefully they can help you out!

Lipstick
I've gone with MAC's Coral Bliss which is a cremesheen lipstick, it goes on well and lasts most of the day it has a nice shade of coral with hints of glitter.

Lip Gloss
I've gone for Model Co Strip Tease a rather odd name I never get why brands call there products things like Strip Tease! But this gloss is lovely it has a nice shimmery tone down pink colour with some sparkly glitter bits throughout, it doesn't last long but does come with a handy mirror if you do need to re apply which is very helpful.

Lip Balms
It the Spring I feel the need to still pamper my lips so I still use lip balms and have two which are my all time favorite. To add some colour yet still pamper your lips I use Baby Lips Cherry Me which is a dark cherry red but comes out a lovely light red shade leaving your lips really moisturised yet looking fab. I've also added my all time favorite lip balm I use all year the Nuxe Reve de Miel it has a fantastic scent and I find it moisturises my lips perfectly so I always grab this product!
