Clothing Haul


Forever 21 & Topshop are my favourite shops! I picked up a few things from them this week and thought I would share!

Topshop Joni Jeans- here
Nothing Compares to Joni jeans,they fit so well! I did have to go a size bigger than I usually am though, I think their sizes are a bit out!

Topshop Smock Dress- here
This is one of the prettiest dresses I have seen! I love the lace detail and the high neck. It's also in the sale now damn!The sizes in this are pretty big so I actually picked up a size 4 in this one, sort your sizing out Topshop!

Forever 21 Blouse- here
Pretty blouses and dresses are kind of my thing if you haven't guessed. I loved the detailing on the collar of this one and the cuffed sleeves. It's actually really see-through so a cami underneath this is a must! It looks huge in this photo but this is actually only an 8!

Forever 21 Boots- here
I couldn't find the one's I bought on the website so I've linked similar one's! The ones I bought were £22. They're really good quality boots for how cheap they were! Really comfortable and the heel is a good size too!

LOreal Paris Infalliable Sculpt Range


LOreal have recently released their new Infalliable Scuplt Range. I love it when new releases come out in the drugstore and I purchased a few things to try them out!

The most exciting purchase was the contour palette. This was sold out in my local boots for ages, and the light/medium shade was sold out online for about a week before I could get my hands on it! I always usually go for the medium/dark shades in contour kits but this one seemed a bit darker than others, which I was happy about! The contour and highlight are both cream. They apply really well and when blended in look so much more natural than powder. The contour is really build able and if you apply too much you can just keep blending until you get it to how you want it to look. The kit comes with an little examples leaflet, which shows different face shapes and how to contour each face shape. I thought this was such a good idea for people who are new to make up or contouring!


I also picked up the Blush Sculpt in the shade Nude Beige. The trio aren't usually colours I would go for in a blush but I thought it would be something new to try as I always go for the same colours! The colours all have a bronzey tone to them. I have been applying these separately with the lightest shade starting from my cheekbone and working my way down from light to dark. The colours have actually worked well for my skin tone so I'm glad I chose something different. I've been really impressed with look this has given and now I definitely want another!


The last thing I bought from the new range was the Brow Artist Sculpt. I love the concept of these and think its a great idea to have a drawing tip and a brush for filling in brows. I've tested this one out and it works really well. The problem I have is that the shade is WAY too light for my eyebrows. The Brow Sculpt only comes in two shades- blonde and brunette, and the brunette is really light. So I'll have to give this one away! It would be great if they could have a bigger shade range in these. 



L-R= Blush Sculpt, Contour Palette, Brow Sculpt.

A Recent Drugstore Haul


I've picked up a few things from the drugstore and I thought I would share them with you!
I'm aware I haven't written a post for a while, I've been dealing with a few things but hopefully I'll get back on track now!

I picked up the Real Techniques setting brush and a few days later I decided to get the sculpting set as well. I didn't realise until I got home that the set came with the setting brush as well! So now I have 2 haha, The brush that caught my eye most was the fan brush. I don't own a brush similar to this one and I thought it would be great to try for highlighting. I've been using one of the setting brushes for concealing and the other for applying powder to my under eyes. I love the shiny pink on the brushes too!

I've seen a lot of hype around the Maybelline The Eraser Eye so I decided to give it ago. With suffering from dark under eye circles I'm always happy to try new concealers. It's quite a heavy duty concealer which gives really good coverage. I like the sponge applicator to help apply the concealer and as its a nice creamy consistency it blends really well.The only negative is that towards the end of the day it does start to crease.



The new Maybelline Falsies Push up Drama mascara has been on my want list before it was released. I've been using for the last few weeks and it's pretty good! It's not my favourite mascara I own but it adds some serious drama! The thing that lets it down to me is that it's not very defining and can end up clumpy if you apply more than one coat. It does however add a lot of volume.



The last make up item I purchased was the Rimmel Fix and Perfect make up primer. I've been looking for more good drugstore primers and this one is part of Rimmels new primer range. This one is white when it comes out of the tube with a slight shimmer in, which creates a nice subtle glow when applied. It blends into the skin really well and does make a lovely base. I find this one is really moisturising and helps keep my makeup in the same place all day! A bonus is that it has an  SPF of 25, just because it's winter doesn't mean there aren't any UV rays!

The Ardell demi-wispies are technically not drug store products as I got them from Amazon but they were of drugstore price at £2.99! I wanted to venture out beyond my usual Eyelure eyelashes and this brand seemed to have pretty good reviews! Demi wispies are supposed to look more natural than other fake eyelashes as they are woven in a certain way and have a clear band. Very excited to try these on my next night out!

Lastly I picked up the Dove Pure Care Dry Oil shampoo and conditioner. I've been using these together for about a week and they have left my hair feeling lovely! They're both really hydrating and make my hair look really glossy and sleek. The shampoo lathers really well and although it comes out looking really oily it didn't make my roots greasy or anything like that! The conditioner feels really thick and nourising. Both have a lovely smell to them.

Rosie For Autograph: Beauty



First things first, how pretty is the packaging of the new Rosie For Autograph beauty range?! 
As soon as I saw the packaging, I knew they would look great in my make up collection so I bought a few things!
The range is a little more pricey than I thought as Autograph is an M&S brand and The lipstick was almost the same price at £14 as a Mac one! I wasn't disappointed though as the products are of really good quality.


I picked up the lipstick in the shade 'Rose Lace', which is a coral toned nude. It's a little more orange than I would have liked but I don't have another colour similar to this one, which I always find rare when buying nude lipsticks! It's lovely and creamy to apply and feels really moisturising on the lips. It has a lovely vanilla scent to it like the Mac lipsticks, and I love the magnetic close packaging, so satisfying! cringe


I also picked up an eyeshadow palette in the 'Copper Gold Rush' shade which was £18. I was really impressed with this palette when I first used it. There are 3 shimmery shades in a dark brown, a light brown/champagne and a deep pink,. There is also a matte taupe coloured shade. The colours are quite pigmented and blend really well, they don't need lots of time spent trying to blend them. A really good quad for creating a different looking smokey eye.

I also got a rose gold make up bag as well. The strange thing is that the logo is upside down on it though?! I didn't send it back because I thought with it being upside down it would look better in a flat lay haha!
