An Afternoon in Greenwich

It seems like whenever we have beautiful weather you've gotta grab the opportunity with two hands, go and make the most of it as it probably won't last for very long. 

So today I decided to pop on the tube and head to Greenwich.

As I was melting away in the heat, I couldn't not walk past an ice cream shop and not buy something. I opted with getting lemon and bubble gum, I can truly say I decided well.

There's nothing quite like Greenwich's pretty houses when the suns shining. 

I wanted to wear something really light and comfy as today was scorching so I thought this Maxi dress was absolutely perfect as its quite light & baggy but really flattering. I then matched it with some brown Gladiators.

 

Im not really a jewellery lover, but today I really felt like wearing something, I didn't want anything too much so I thought theses bracelets would be just right for just a little something.

 Greenwich is known for its beautiful observatory so I couldn't not go and take a look.

Who doesn't like a cute little market? Well the one in Greenwich is honestly one of the nicest ones I've ever been too.

 After all this walking around I had to go get something to bite so Nando's sounded perfect to me. 

I will defiantly be visiting Greenwich again very soon.

My 3 High End Favourite Lipsticks

From trying and buying so many different designer Lipsticks & shades I think I can finally say I have found my perfect 3 that I know I can rely on.

Chanel Rouge Coco 454 Jean 
I saw Suzie from Hello October wear this lipstick quite a few months ago and absolutely fell in love with it. If you like your plum shades you're going to be in heaven, Now this one is indisputably a plum. Purple almost in the tube, but don't let that put you off! Whats brilliant about this lipstick is that when you apply, it comes across really shear and natural looking. You can leave it like that if you would prefer, but you can also really build up the colour if you're fancying something a little bit more bold. It is also ridiculously moisturising which is a massive plus for the colder months. 





Ted Backer Rose Red
I got this 'lipgloss' okay, it's a lipgloss but it sets just like a lipstick would do so I'm going to put it under the category of a lipstick. The gorgeous bright red 'lipgloss' came in a Ted Baker christmas gift set last year and haven't stopped using it since (I'm sure they still sell the set, or even on its own). It applies really glossy and drys matte so you won't have to worry about it slipping and sliding around, you would think because it drys matte it would be really drying on your lips but surprisingly it doesn't do that at all. 




Mac Lipstick Satin Rebel 
You can never go wrong with any of the Mac lipsticks. I have only been able to get my hands on some of them (but don't worry I am putting some I have had my eye on, on my christmas list this year), But so far I would say Rebel is my favourite lipstick from Mac, It kind of has the same under colours as the Chanel Lipstick I was talking about first but is much more darker and much more pigmented. Whats also great is that it is satin based so it beautifully glides onto the lips making it feel really comfortable to wear which I love because some dark lipsticks are really difficult to wear because of how drying they are, but you don't have to worry about that with this Lipstick. 

I hope I've given you some inspiration to head down to the shops and pick up some new lipsticks.

A Autumn Stroll

I think my favourite thing to do around this time of year is to put on some big boots, a long warm coat and a snazzy hat and go walking through the forest. I find it so relaxing and calming, I would do it every day If I could.

I put this outfit together, I will link below details If anyone is interested. 

I think it's really important to take an hour of your week to turn of your phone, wrap up warm and go for a walk where ever that may be. It can really help to unwind your brain from your crazy busy week. I think I love it as much as Bella (my dog).

Polish That Works Dreams With A Tan

This summer I am flying away to Turkey with my boyfriend and I have told myself I'm going to work really hard to get a natural tan, not something that is out of a bottle. So to enhance 'hopefully' my tan I really wanted a nail polish colour that would do so. 

For the past few weeks I have been looking online at all different types of brands, colours and suggestions. I came across Models Own, I've never had any polishes from their brand before but have heard so many good reviews about how good quality they are. 

I went into my local Models Own shop and asked one of the girls for help, the second I told them what sort of nail polish I wanted they instantly knew which one I needed and that was the colour in Beach Bag (says it in the name) which is a gorgeous bright neon shade which I had to have. 

When I got home and applied it to my nails I loved it, I loved how smoothly it applied and pigmented it was. It already made my skin look darker than what It actually was so I can't imagine what It will look like after my holiday. 

Thank goodness for Models Own.

Summer Makeup Favourites

 Who doesn't like having a little nose threw a girls make up bag? I don't know who doesn't.

Here are my most used products, that I've been using threw this summer. 

 First of, I think this is the cutest makeup bag I have ever purchased. This is a Kipling dark pink small makeup bag. It's the perfect size to get a days worth of make up in. I just couldn't resist it, 
Price was around £10.00 (Sale) 

 As the weather in London has been pretty hot my skins been going oily crazy so to prevent the oil getting to out of hand, I have been using the Pore Fessional by Benefit. This product also keeps my makeup in place all day. 
Price - £24.50 www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk

In the summer I don't like to wear anything to heavy on my skin, so I turn to the Clarins BB Skin Perfecting Cream. Which is a really light formula but hides all my imperfections really well.
Price - £30.00 www.clarins.co.uk

 To hide my evil imperfections that the Clarins BB cream didn't quite cover enough, I can always turn to the Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer.
Price - £5.49 www.boots.com

 To set all my foundation and concealer I use the Laura Mercier control shine powder. I've tried lots of different powders threw the years and I can always count on this one (you can see how much I love this product by the picture hehe), if you have oily skin I would really recommend this product. 
Price - £25.00 uk.spacenk.com

 I do like to give my face a natural bronze look, so to do that I use the Bourjois bronzing powder. It's a brilliant all round bronzer, its a gorgeous matte brown which gives a great warm tone of colour to your skin and also great for all skin tones. 
Price - £7.99 www.boots.com

 Now for blush!
I love using the Coralista by Benefit. Its a peachy pink colour that just gives a really natural glow to your cheeks. I've been using this product constantly for months now, as you can see I have hit pan (sad Alice).
Price - £23.50 www.debenhams.com

 I do love a bit of highlight for the summer time, to do that I use the body shop shimmer brick. I love all the dark and light pinks in this highlighter, it gives a really gorgeous natural pinky glow. 
Price - £16.00 www.thebodyshop.co.uk

 To fill in my brows I like to use the Clinique Brow Pencil, It doesn't make my eyebrows look to defined which I think is perfect for summer, so to get that natural eyebrow look this product is for you!
Price - £14.00 www.clinique.co.uk

 I love my eyelashes to look as full and long as possible, to acheve that I use the Clinique high impact mascara. My mum bought me this product for easter and I haven't stopped using it since. It lengthens my eyelashes beautifully. 
Price - £17.00 www.clinique.co.uk

 Lastly, 
To give my makeup look a bit of boost of colour I've been loving the Revlon colour burst lip butter in the colour Wild watermelon. If you're a fan of reds this product is perfect for you. It gives a gorgeous red/orange tone to the lips. For summer you want a lipstick which is super moisturizing and really long lasting, well this product is 100% that.
