Winter: My Make up Favourites

With the weather becoming cold and miserable, our skin hits the devil time, I'm talking dry skin, annoying spots and rashes...I have a few make-up must-haves that will help disguise this and also a fabulous energising face wash to help your skin out.

 They're Real-Benefit Mascara

This was actually a freebie in a magazine, yet one of my favourite mascaras. Its actually a primer but does a good enough job to be a main mascara!

Si Giorgio Armani- Perfume

Everyone needs a mini perfume, good to go for a night out, work, day trip what ever your day to day plans are. Also helps that it smells like heavennnn!

High Light- Highlighter

£1.99, £1.99 this little bottle of beauty cost me from TK Max. Perfect for under the brows to give them definition, cheeks to highlight your cheekbones and give you that glow all year round.

MAC concealer 

Small but mighty. This concealer is used by professionals to hide as much as tattoos, so if the winter is causing you to break out in spots this item is the way to go! £15, yes expensive but I've had it for 6 months and I'm not even half way through as you only need a dab!

Seventeen Define&Conquer- Contouring Kit

This is one of my favourite items in my make up bag. Easy to apply and easy to blend. I use this on a day to day basis if i want more definition to my face or a settler method instead of bronzer. I will use it for a night out or event along with bronzer and ensure i blend well or ill look like an orange...no one wants that.

EXTREME eyeliner- Collection 2000

The only black liquid pen eyeliner i have ever used, and don't plan on changing anytime soon. A pen for me, is the easiest to apply, its strong and bold and once on will be there until you decide to remove it.

Energising Face wash- Clarins 

A gift from my mum when my skin hit a very rough patch. I used this in the morning when i woke up before applying my make up and every so often in the evening to ensure all my make up was off. Within a week my skin cleared up dramatically and felt a lot healthier. Give it a go and see the difference it has!

Blusher- YSL

A palette of a soft pink and a soft sparkly pink to give the natural look of blushed cheeks. This has been in my make up bag for a long time (originally my mums, sorry!) and now mine and its still going strong. Perfect for every occasion.

8 items that you must have in your winter wardrobe

Winter is back. It seems to come quicker each year, christmas lights are going up, we are struggling to get up in the morning as its colder and darker. So why not make it easier knowing your going to your wardrobe to get clothes that will fight the cold off whilst looking stylish too!

Her are my 8 essentials this winter...if you like any of the items just click on them to be directed straight to their website.

Faux Fur coat/jacket

What else can help keep you warm than a coat either covered in fur or lined inside with fur!!

A classic oversized snuggly hoodie

Perfect for lazing around in, running to the shops, the gym or to sleep in when the radiators are not fulfilling their role and a hood for the classic British rain.

A High neck oversized jumper

On trend and extra cosy, perfect layered up with a coat or jacket

Last but never least, a pair of heel boots

Just enough heel to give it some class but not too much that your feet hurt walking around the Christmas markets and visiting friends and family over the new year...and who says you can't have both of these, there too nice to pick just one!!

The power of pink

Now that autumn and winter are in full swing, its finally time to change up our all black wardrobes. Its time for the Autumn rose and berry pinks to have their time again, a variation of colour that given the political and sociological contradictions of pink, designers continue to use it again and again. This time giving a sense of strength and stylishness.

Catwalks for A/W15 have shown their interpretation of pink in fashion and its powerful comeback to battle the cold away this year. From Chloé, Prada and Alexander McQueen....these trends then trickling down into our classic mass market stores of Topshop and Zara.

High End/Couture

Mass Market- Topshop X Kendall and Kylie, Zara

Take a look at Prada's A/W15 advertising campaign and the hidden power of pink!

Christmas season has arrived, maybe a little too early...

This weekend, to say the least was very unproductive in the uni work area, however very productive in the shops, city centre and food areas...we can call it research! With the christmas lights and decorations being put up everywhere you look, that always seem to get earlier and earlier. I was pleased to go and get a Starbucks and be handed over a christmas cup... gets me a little excited for christmas season although i refuse to show my festivity till December 1st. I won't listen to a christmas song until then, bad luck and all that!!

My favourite things about the christmas season are...

1. Warm drinks- preferably the new chocolate fudge hot chocolate from costa


2. Yankee candles, of course


3. Over sized hoodies and fluffy socks


4. Movie nights in with every duvet and blanket in the house


5. Baking cookies, brownies, cakes and every other option and using the excuse that its christmas and you need to store body fat for the cold weather approaching


6. Peaking out the curtains in the morning to check for snow and hope you don't have to go to uni, even though its only a 10 minute walk and no hills involved


7. Being in the hustle of London with the christmas lights above you and obsessing over Selfridges window displays


8. Pointing and hinted to everything you want for christmas "oo i love this, no i don't need it now mum!" "no honestly its fine, i can't afford it!"


9. Lastly, the feeling that your nose and fingers are so cold you think never again will they be usable, bitter sweet feeling
