Empties #2 - Soap & Glory, Head & Shoulders, Batiste, Impulse, Dove, Simple & Aveeno!

Hello everyone! It's that time again where I've used up a few products and now I'm gonna tell you if I liked them or not. You may think it's weird that even if I don't like something, I'll continue to use it until it's finished (unless it's horrific/does worse than good then I won't) but I just have this thing about not finishing things, it feels like a waste! I'm going to be crazy when I'm older basically, this is what I am saying. Anyway, onto the mini reviews of products that I've used up!

Haircare

Head & Shoulders Itchy Scalp Care Shampoo: Recently my scalp has just went a bit mental, my eczema unfortunately spread to my scalp which led to it being very flaky and itchy. We had this shampoo in the back of the cupboard as my Dad suffers from the same as me so I decided to give it a go and I really liked it. I used this in-between washes with my medicated shampoo from the doctors, so I would use one then the other and it really helped to take the itch away. It smells really nice and fresh and when I apply it it has a nice cooling sensation on my scalp which is really nice. It's helped (combined with the medicated shampoo) to take the itch and flakes away and overall I'd really recommend it. Would I repurchase? Yes.

Bastiste Original Dry Shampoo: I featured this in my last empties post so I won't go on about it - it's my favourite dry shampoo, it works brilliantly and soaks up all excess oils/grease in my hair for when it's second/third day hair (gross!), it has a pleasant smell and even though it's a white powder, it blends into my brunette hair perfectly with no white cast/sheen at all! Would I repurchase? Already have.

Bodycare

Aveeno Bath & Shower Oil: I get this prescribed to me from the doctors to help treat my eczema and I really like it. It's thick, soft and smooth in consistency and it has a really a nice oatmeally scent to it (it has oatmeal in it surprisingly enough) and in general is a really gentle bath and shower oil for sensitive skin. I use this just to wash my body and it soothes my skin and leaves it feeling, well, less irritable and itchy! I'd highly recommend this for people who suffer from eczema, it definitely helps calm down my eczema, although it's no miracle product - it won't get rid of it, it just helps calm it down, which is half the battle in my opinion.

Soap & Glory The Scrub Of Your Life Body Buffer: I've done a full review on this so I'm not going to go into too much detail - you can see that review here. Overall I would recommend this body buffer, it's really good at buffing and exfoliating your legs (that's what I used it for) and it actually lathers up into a foamy consistency as you buff it in which felt so nice and relaxing. It also made my legs feel so soft and smooth, it's unreal! Would I repurchase? Yes!

Dove Invisible Dry Deodorant (x2) - To be honest this is a kinda product that I don't particularly like or dislike, it's just kinda a necessity. Does it stop me from smelling like BO? Most of the time (when I'm at the gym or running madly for the bus, I'm obviously not going to be smelling great afterwards) but for every day life it's fine. It's good for people who have sensitive underarms like me also, as I can't use the sprays due to my eczema. However, it isn't an 'invisible dry' like it says it is and when you put on a top too fast after applying it, the white marks will be there and you will have to wipe them off. Overall, it's just alright. Would I repurchase? Yes, until I find a better one then no!

Impulse Body Spray in Be Surprised: Guys, I'm just going to be straight with you, I'm gutted I've run out of this. It was a lovely body spray and due to my sensitive skin, I just sprayed it on my clothes. It says it has violets and red fruits in it.. I can't smell the violets but it definitely is fresh and fruity which I love and it's one of my favourite body sprays I've tried to this day. Would I repurchase? YES.

Impulse Body Spray in London (City Collection): This one.. Not so much. I don't know, this one was quite thick and heavy with scents of wood and vanilla coming through, whereas Be Surprised was a nice light scent which I prefer a lot more. I've just googled it there and apparently it's been discontinued so.. Sorry, I don't think it's available anymore, or at least on major websites now. Apparently it was limited edition? I've been using this since I was 14, no joke! How weird.. Anyway, I did used to really like this when I was younger but for some reason this time, I just didn't like it as much as I thought I would. I still did like it, it's alright. I usually really love woody/vanilla scents but this time, I just thought it was alright. Oh well, it's not on sale so, RIP Impulse London!

Skincare

Soap & Glory Peaches and Clean Deep Purifying 3-in-1 Cleanser: I've also done a full review on this cleanser so I won't go on, if you want to see more about it you can click here! I really did like it, I love the sensation of washing off my cleanser, it just seems the most natural way to wash your face and ultimately cleanse it! It left my face feeling soft and moisturised and it has a nice subtle peachy scent to it, it's not too artificial which is a huge plus. It also does take your make-up off, you just need to cleanse and use a lot of pumps to get it all off, so if you have no patience and want a cleanser mainly to take make-up off.. It's maybe not for you. For just every-day/taking make-up off that might take a bit longer, this is for you! Would I repurchase? Yep!

Simple Light Hydrating Moisturiser: This is my everyday moisturiser that I've been using for years straight. It's great for my sensitive skin, it is a nice light consistency and has no scent to it. I only use a tiny bit and keeps my skin feeling hydrated all day - unless I'm having a bad skin day and it's feeling tight and dry, I'll use a lot and it makes my skin feel nice and hydrated again. Overnight it's really good as well, I again just use a little and I wake up with nice soft skin! Would I repurchase? Already have.

So that's about it for this post, I hope you enjoyed reading! What have you used up recently? Let me know!

Have a lovely day, and don't stop smiling. :)

Soap & Glory Peaches and Clean 3-in-1 Wash Off Deep Purifying Cleanser Review!

Hello everyone and welcome to a review of the longest named product in existence; the Soap and Glory Peaches and Clean 3-in-1 Wash Off Deep Purifying Cleanser! I've been using this product on and off for the past 8 months so I decided it's about time I introduce you guys to it. Cue the long-winded review, as always!

First off, as always, the price. This 200ml bottle comes in at £8 and it's their second most expensive cleanser, which for me.. I'd say it's a little overpriced, however some of you might think this is a bargain. You have to remember I'm on a student budget so I'm looking for cheap products or deals.. I usually get this in Boots and Boots ALWAYS have 3 for 2 or some sort of deal on, so I usually can get this down to £5 or free with something else. 

Second, the packaging. Like I said before with other Soap & Glory reviews, the packaging for Soap & Glory is kinda standard and universal. I really love that it's a clear bottle as you can see how much product you have left, and especially that it has a pump - hygiene at it's finest! However, there is a major downside - when it gets to the bottom, usually I'm left with some product that I can't get out with the pump.. I've tried to cut the bottle open but it will not budge so my trick is to leave the bottle on it's side so all the product moves over and then scoop it out with the pump's tube. It doesn't get it all out which is annoying but it's better than just leaving it as it is!

Now onto the actual product itself - about time! This is meant to be a 3-in-1 Deep Purifying Cleanser that you apply to your face when it's dry, massage it in and then wash it off (at least that's what I do!) The Soap and Glory website says: 'Want to remove male-up and impurities in one clean sweep? Reach for Soap & Glory's indispensable daily, Peaches and Clean™. It's gentle, effective, melts away make-up (even waterproof mascara), and re-energises your complexion in two minutes." 

It also claims to have "OXYGINSENG™ TECHNOLOGY - an amazingly effective, organic complex that helps increase circulation and cell respiration (which then turns up blood supply and toxin removal), and also speeds oxygen and nutrient delivery to fight aging and re-energise skin, PEACH & GOJUICE™ (peach and goji berry extracts) - rich in antioxidants and vitamins A & C and QUILLAJA BARK - a Chilean soap bark tree-derived natural cleansing agent."

• Ultimately it's meant to be a 3-in-1 cleansing, smoothing and revitalising milk, which deeply purifies and declogs the T-zone, it's meant to boosts circulation and re-energises skin, melt away make-up and blackhead-causing build-up and it is balanced for all skin types.

For me, all this stuff above in bulletpoints is just mumbo jumbo - I mean, honestly, how am I meant to tell if I have increased circulation and cell respiration?! It's honestly a little overwhelming reading all of it and it makes me anxious just thinking about it all, it's too much, for me I just can't believe it does all that!

When you pump a little out onto your hand, it comes out as a white cream consistency. As you begin to massage it in, it turns into a milky creamy texture and then you wash it off. For me, it cleanses my skin nicely and leaves it looking soft, plump and with a slight glow. It hasn't broke me out or caused any rashes or reactions on my skin, as you know I have eczema/sensitive skin bla bla bla.. But really, I do have extremely sensitive skin, especially on my face so it's good that this hasn't made me break out, as it does contain perfume that usually doesn't agree with my skin. 

For me, washing the cleanser off really is a huge plus. It wakes me up in the morning when I absolutely need it, and at night I find it really relaxing knowing I'm washing all the dirt off my face. I also just find the whole process of massaging it into my face really relaxing, it's a lovely feeling cleanser and it smells yummy too! It obviously has a peach scent to it, however it's not overly artificial or strong which I like, it's just a subtle scent and it again really helps wake me up in the morning/relaxes me in the evening.

The only big downside to me is that it's a bit tricky to get my make-up off. Honestly, it's a struggle - even if I'm just wearing mascara, non-waterproof kohl eyeliner and lipstick, the lipstick, mascara and eyeliner on the top lid comes off fine but the eyeliner on the waterline is a pain to get off. I've tried using a cotton pad as well to get it off and it works better, however it is still a pain! Don't even get me started if you are wearing a full face of make-up, cause you need a whole load of cotton pads and patience to get it off, and sometimes that's not even good enough.

Overall, I would recommend this cleanser for using in the morning however if you are using it to take a full face of make-up off in the evening, you need to use cotton pads instead of massaging it in with your fingers as otherwise it won't remove your make-up fully, and you need to do it several times to make sure it's all off! Saying that, it's a really nice milky, creamy consistency that has a lovely peachy scent and it leaves my skin feeling plump, soft and brighter than before.

That's about it for this post, hope you enjoyed reading. Have you tried this cleanser, or anything else from Soap & Glory, what were your thoughts?

Have a lovely day, and don't stop smiling. :)

Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter Body Butter Review!

Hello everyone! Today I'm back to tell you about the first body butter I ever tried, and one I have loved ever since: The Righteous Butter by Soap & Glory. I first started hearing about this when I started reading blogs and watching YouTube and to this day everyone talks about all the Soap & Glory Body Butters and how good they are - *SPOILERS* and I have to agree!

First of all, the packaging is just classic Soap & Glory - a pink plastic tub with cute girly detailing and a quirky, humorous style of writing, love love love. This comes in to be £10.50, however, I always get mine from Boots and Boots ALWAYS have 3 for 2 offers on or just some type of offer which will get the price down/get something else free out of it so really it's not too bad. Plus, it lasts for months so I don't find it to be overly expensive in the sense that I need to buy it every month, it's more like every 2-3 months I run out of a tub!

The consistency of this body butter is quite thick and creamy which is nice as it means it's really going to sink into your skin when you apply it. I use this on my legs so I apply it when my legs are still damp and as you rub it in it does go from white to transparent (depends how much you put on - I always pile it on so I do look like I have weird white streaky legs haha!) and leaves them with a nice healthy glow and they feel so soft and smooth. Plus, they smell incredible! *cue paragraph about the scent of it..*

OBIVIOUSLY one of the most important things about it is it's scent. Soap & Glory actually have multiple 'lines' of scents if you will, so this body butter is part of the Original Pink Fragrance line, which is it's original fresh, summery fragrance, with orange leaf, lemon, peach, sweet strawberries, summer rose, gardenia blooms and jasmine. As per usual, I can't smell all of that, but what I can smell is a semi-heavy fresh fruity scent that just smells delicious to be honest!

This isn't something I would recommend if you want a moisturiser that sinks in quickly as this for me, takes a loooong time to sink in! For me I only use this when I'm having a shower at night as if I used this if I had a shower in the morning and went to get changed like 5 minutes after applying it, it would not be a pretty situation. For that I'd recommend the Vaseline Spray & Go, it dries in in less than a minute - this, not so much..

Saying that though, because I only use it when I'm having a shower at night, it's almost like I'm pampering myself by using it. Plus, it smells amazing and leaves my skin feeling amazing in general so it is like a little treat. I love using it at night as when I wake up in the morning, my whole room honestly just smells of it and it's so lovely to wake up too!

Anyway, I should probably wrap this up before I ramble on anymore.. Overall, I love this body butter. I'd highly recommend it apart from if you want a fast drying moisturiser, as it is not that! I just love it. LOVE IT. I hope you enjoyed reading this post! Have you tried this or any other products from Soap & Glory? Let me know!

Have a lovely day, and don't stop smiling. :)

Soap & Glory The Scrub Of Your Life Body Scrub Review!

Hello everyone! Today I'm here reviewing the exfoliator I've been using for the past couple of months and I've actually just finished it so I feel it's the right time to talk about it. I cannot be the only one who loves the feeling of pure silky smooth legs and who genuinely enjoys the sensation of exfoliating their legs, right?! Spoilers, this exfoliator does that for me. Oh by the way, I'm talking about the Soap & Glory The Scrub Of Your Life Body Scrub, if you hadn't guessed that already. Which you most probably have. Anyway..

Coming in at £7, it's on the cheaper side (in my opinion) for Soap & Glory. You get 200ml of product and I used it up in a couple of months, which for me was quite quick and I wished there was more in it but for £7 that's still a good deal!

First off, the packaging is standard Soap and Glory, nothing too exciting but I do have a love hate relationship with the fact it's a tube. I love it because when you use it in the shower no water is getting into the actual tube so it doesn't go all watery (wow, really?! Yep.) However, it also kinda annoys me because even after a couple of months of using it I couldn't work out the exact amount I wanted to exfoliate so most of the time I used too much product.. I think I love the packaging more than I hate it though, as the tube packaging is overall just really handy and practical.

I'd also like to point out that Soap & Glory do not test on animals, which is a huge bonus for me personally.

When you squeeze the product out of the tube, it comes out in a kinda gel consistency with little pink beads inside the gel. I personally use this on my legs in the shower as my arms are quite sensitive and can break out extremely easily so I stay clear of using any products that aren't super natural on them. Since I do still have sensitive skin on my legs, I do tend to gravitate towards more gentle exfoliators. I wouldn't say this was super gentle, however it wasn't too harsh or rough for my skin and it didn't break me out at all, so I would still recommend this for sensitive skin. Just to be safe though, if you do have sensitive skin/suffer from eczema and want to try this, maybe buy the mini and test it out on a small patch of skin first, I do this quite a lot just to be safe, however I do suffer from both sensitive skin and eczema and so far, no Soap & Glory product has broke me out at all and I've tried quite a few!

What I really love about this product is when you use it in the shower when you are obviously wet (duh), it lathers up as you massage it into your legs into a thick foamy soapy consistency (as you can see below), so it feels like your not only exfoliating your legs but also really deeply washing and cleaning them if that makes sense? Usually I massage it in for a couple of minutes then wash it off, then I shave my legs so that I get that super silky feel. Once I've washed it off, honestly, my legs literally feel like silk. They are so soft and glowy, it's unreal, and this softness lasts for a good couple of days. As always though, you do have to moisturise when you get out of the shower as they will leave your legs a little dry and needing some hydration, but that's just standard so it's not a big issue.

I should also mention how much I love the scent of this product. In general I love the smell of most of the Soap & Glory range, especially the Original Pink line which is what this product is a part of. It apparently has scents of fresh bergamot and mandarin, rose, jasmine, peach, strawberry, oakmoss, amber, woody notes and warm vanilla.. Honestly though, who smells all of that? For me, it just smells fresh and fruity which is what I gravitate towards in body products and the smell lasts all day/night (depending on when you have a shower/bath)

For me, I used it once/twice a week for a couple of months and it kept my legs feeling very soft, silky and my legs didn't look as dull as they usually do, they had a glow to them which was a nice surprise! Overall I would recommend this product, it really is good at buffing and exfoliating and I personally love that it lathers up into a foamy/soapy consistency, it feels like I'm giving my legs a deep clean whilst exfoliating them at the same time.

That's about it for this post! I feel like I rambled quite a bit so I do apologise. I'm not very good at writing concisely, I'm the type of person who has to cut down 2000 words in an essay so it fits the word limit. Not kidding. I hope you enjoyed reading this review, have you tried this product before and do you have any recommendations of other Soap & Glory products that I can try? Let me know!

Have a lovely day, and don't stop smiling. :)

FOTD + OOTD #3 - Mint Arrows - 26/9/13

Hello everyone! I'm back with yet again, dun dun dunnnn.. Another FOTD + OOTD! Today was kind of a lazy day/going out for tea and cake with a friend so I just kinda threw this together. Also, before I start going on about what I'm wearing etc, for some weird reason at the bottom of all my pictures they get all blurry, I must have something on my lense or something and I only saw it once I uploaded my photos onto this when I was in bed.. So sorry about that! 

I thought I'd shake things up a bit and actually start off with the jewellery I wore, as I hardly ever wear any and I actually remembered for once! Without realising, I ended up going for green jewellery, with my green leather strapped watch from Fossil which has a silver face and green font and my long gold necklace with two mint arrows from Forever 21. I thought since my top was pretty plain I kinda had to spice things up a bit with some jewellery and I think it worked really well; the balance was right!

Top - Topshop

Tank Top (underneath) - Marks and Spencers

Jeans - Ralph Lauren

Bag - Longcamp Le Pliage (think it's the medium size)

It was one of those days where I was staring at the wardrobe and saw nothing, even though I have way too many clothes for my own good. I decided to bring this top out, just because it was plain white and pretty easy and comfortable to wear and I wanted to actually wear jewellery for once (shock horror!)

As you can see, it's super baggy but really clingy at the sleeves, which actually start really low down, I think I deliberately bought this top a couple of sizes too big so the shoulder part is at the middle of my arm for me, it's great and super comfy that way! Saying that, it's not an uncomfortable clingy as the material is super stretchy. My jeans are also super comfy too, they don't irritate my skin and feel tight like some do, they are just nice jeans, they do their job well!

My bag is actually my old Uni bag from first year, I just randomly brought it out again. It's such a practical bag and because it's black and brown, it goes with every single outfit I wear. It's actually quite big for being size medium, so it could easily fit all my Uni stuff (or most of it, my Uni books are massive so I'm usually carrying a couple or else I get a sore shoulder) and it has a little pouch to put your phone and stuff in so you don't lose it in your bag. Also, this bag is great for travelling as it folds up into a tiny version of itself, it's awesome as I always take it on holiday with me as my bag, if you don't get what I mean then click here and you'll see!

List of make-up:

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in 001 Transparent

Mac Paint Pot in Painterly

Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 Hr Eyeshadow in On and on Bronze

Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal in 012 Bronze and 005 Nude

No7 Exquisite Curl Mascara in Black

Soap & Glory Super-Colour Fabulipstick Satin Finish in Guava Rama

As per usual I went with my standard eye and face make-up (not that I wear that much anyway) and after reviewing another Soap and Glory lipstick which you can see here I decided to bring the another one I owned out that I hadn't actually worn yet and all I'm going to say is WHY HAVE I IGNORED IT FOR THIS LONG?! A review is definitely coming soon!

So that's about it for this FOTD + OOTD, I hope you enjoyed reading it. Have you been ignoring any products recently? If you, use them, you might discover a hidden love for them that you never had before!

Have a lovely day, and don't stop smiling. :)

Night Out Look #3 - Daisy Sailor - 17/09/13

Hello everyone! I'm back with another Night Out look, I swear I'm not an alcoholic, I was just squeezing some nights out in while I could as I'm now back at Uni!

Anyway for once I thought I'd actually take pictures of the make-up products I used to create, well, my face.. However on the night I actually didn't wear face primer, foundation, or the Revlon lipstick so just ignore those. I was planning on wearing some but I asked my boyfriend what he thought and showed him and he said he preferred without foundation, so I went without! Also I haven't worn any properly in like.. over 6 months? So who knows if it even matches my skin tone now!

Apologises about the messy brushes, I'm not very neat.. They are well loved though!

List of make-up:

Benefit The POREfessional 

Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Foundation in Believe in Me Ivory

Mac Powder Blush in Buff

Benefit Erase Paste in Light

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in 001 Transparent

Soap and Glory Lid Stuff Eyeshadow in Whats Nude

MUA Eyeshadow Palette in Undressed

Mac Paint Pot in Painterly

Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 Hr in 35 On and On Bronze

L'Oreal Paris Super Liner Black Lacquer

Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal in 012 Bronze

No7 Exquisite Curl Mascara in Black

Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Candy Apple

Avon Lipstick in Smitten Red

Vaseline (how extravagant)

Brushes I used:

Real Techniques Starter Set 1406

Real Techniques Limited Edition Duo Libre Set

I knew I was going to wear the playsuit with a red belt (as seen below) so I was like "well I have to wear a red lip now to match it up now don't I?!" I used to think that my Revlon Lip Butter was my favourite red lip but mine has went really dodgy and I might do a review as some other shades of mine have done the same and it's so annoying.. Anyway! Now that I got my Avon lipstick free in a magazine I've never looked back, it's just gorgeous and I'm so pleased I got it for £4 (magazine was £4, lipstick was free. BARGAIN ALERT.)

 I went for my staple brown matte smokey eye (Soap and Glory palette for the matte part) with dark brown/gold shimmer in the outer corners (MUA palette for the shimmer part) and black winged eyeliner as I just think it looks gorgeous no matter what you are wearing.

I also got my hair cut the day I took these photos so that's why it looks so shiny and healthy and lovely - why can't it always look like this?!

Taken on my iPhone 5, not my camera like the first 3 photos.

As for my outfit, I wore this playsuit that I got from River Island years ago, along with my staple black leather jacket from Topshop, black high top Converse and a little black shoulder bag. I just really love the print of this playsuit and I love anything with daises on it so obviously when I saw this I was like "yep okay buying this now thank you very much!" It's also just a great piece to dress up or down and I've wore this to Uni as well with an over-sized cardigan, thick tights, a scarf and the same jacket and shoes and it was great!

So that's about it for this post, I love doing these kinda FOTE/OOTE posts, they are just so fun to read and equally so fun to create! What's your staple eye look for a night out?

Have a lovely and and don't stop smiling. :)

Soap & Glory Super-Colour Fabulipstick Collagen Boosting Lipstick in The Missing Pink - Review & Swatches!

Hello everyone! Before we start this post.. How long is the name of this lipstick?! When I was writing it out for the title I was like wait.. Is this for real?! Why is this so long?! Oh well.. Today I'm here talking about a little something I picked up a few months ago that I just thought "meh, I'll give it a go!" and now.. I absolutely love it! It's The Missing Pink by Soap & Glory.

I had never really looked at Soap and Glory's make-up until I heard Sammi from Beauty Crush mention it in her YouTube videos, especially the lipstick Pom Pom which she wears here so the next time I went into Boots, there was a 3 for 2 offer on so I had already picked 1 thing and I thought, why not get something from Soap & Glory? So after looking at their make-up range, especially their lipsticks, and after debating what one to get I ended up getting this and another shade, Guavarama, but this is by far my most worn lipstick out of the two!

The packaging on the outside, like the case, is alright I suppose. Black plastic with the name on it, pretty standard. The actual lipstick tube is a lot nicer though, with the gold plating and I especially love what S&G have done with the actual lipstick itself, by printing their logo onto the lipstick - a classy look for a drugstore make-up product, making it look high-end! 

As you can see from the swatch below it comes out as a dull pink nude.. I think that's the best way to describe it anyway! It's basically a "your lips but better" colour and I know there are about 10 billion lipsticks that do this but I haven't seen anyone talk about this one and it deserves some credit!

I bought this after swatching it with the intention that if running out the door/on the bus to Uni/between classes at Uni I can just quickly put this on without a mirror and boom, lipstick done.

As you can see by my extreme pose below, on the lips it definitely is a your lips but better shade for me, it might be the perfect your lips but better shade for me actually! It gives my lips a slightly more pinkish tone but honestly, it just makes my lips look so much better in a very natural way. 

When applied, it is super smooth and soft on the lips and doesn't dry them out as it has a satin finish. It has a staying power of about 3 hours before you need to reapply, which I don't mind as it doesn't leave an annoying stain around the edge of my lips like some lipsticks do when they wear away, it just fades away, so I can easily reapply it without a mirror and it's fine again.

Overall, for not doing any research on this lipstick, I really like it. It's a great everyday colour, it's got a satin finish so it's nice and smooth, it's easy to apply as you don't need a mirror and it lasts for a decent(ish) amount of time! I would definitely recommend and you can get it here for £9 (most of the time you can get it cheaper as Boots always has offers on!)

So that's about it for this post, hope you enjoyed reading this little review. Have you tried any of the Soap & Glory make-up? I haven't tried any of their skincare products yet but I really want too, I think next time I'm in Boots I'll give one a go.. Have you got any recommendations? Please let me know!

Have a lovely day and don't stop smiling. :)

FOTD + OOTD #2 - Knitted Lace - 13/09/13

Hello everyone! Today I'm back with another FOTD + OOTD, however I didn't realise before taking these photos and uploading them here that my outfit is really similar to the one I posted last week.. So I apologise for that but I really love this jumper so I thought I would show you anyway.

I just want to apologise for the crappy mirror outfit shots as I don't have someone to take my pictures for me and stuff.. So until I figure something out this is the best I can do!

Jeans - Dorothy Perkins

These jeans were actually a rediscovery for me from a few years ago, as a month ago I was clearing out my wardrobe and I found these, expecting them to not fit me and be uncomfy but oh my lord, these fit me perfectly and are super comfortable, I'm so annoyed at myself for shoving these at the back of my wardrobe! I've actually been needing more jeans so after rediscovering these, I've saved myself some pennies for some other treats!

Vest - Topshop
Jumper - Forever 21

The main reason I wanted to show you my outfit is this jumper - how gorgeous is it?! Again from Forever 21, the quality is amazing for probably $20 or less! I was a bit nervous as it is see-through at the front so wearing a white vest top underneath covers up my bits, however I personally think a plain white t-shirt will look better so I'm going to get one from Primark or something and see what looks better.

Anyway, the jumper is a gorgeous pale baby blue which has this beautiful lace detailed pattern at the front, and is plain at the back with long sleeves. I just think it's such a lovely print and I can't wear to wear this in the colder months with a scarf, jacket and boots!

I had to show you a closer up view to see the detailing, sorry the lighting isn't as good in this photo. The lace detailing is flowers and leaves connecting to each other with the same gorgeous pale baby blue colour and even though it's see-through I just think it'll be lovely to wear in the winter with some layers underneath, it's such a winter colour for me!

My make-up is pretty similar to my last FOTD except I went slightly more smokier on the eyes by actually using powder eyeshadow - I made the effort! Most of the time I do like to wear really natural make-up so when I'm going to a special occasion or something, dressing up and wearing more make-up feels a lot more special.
