Mini Haul

So I did a little bit of shopping and I have been trying to save my money however it isn't working that well but I decided to finally buy the products I have been after for a whole. Yet again I am late with all the hyped products but I just had to get the L'oreal cleanser to try out. I can tell this will be repurchased loads!

I also got the Maybelline 24 Hours Colour Tattoo's that I have been wanting for AGES. I got the colours On and On Bronze and Permenant Taupe.

Lastly I got some more dry shampoo which is a much loved product to give my hair some volume to my hair and also to make my hair look nice when it gets a little greasy.

So that's all for my haul, what are products you've been wanting for ages but haven't purchased yet?

OOTD

I just thought I'd make a quick mobile post on my outfit today. I have changed a summer outfit into a autumn outfit. I love shorts and I had seen people wearing shorts with tights recently and I didn't think I could pull it off but I tried anyway haha...

So as for the outfit I am wearing:

Leather jacket- Minx high street store

Top- Iiver Island cami

Shorts- Miss Selfridge lace shorts

Tights- Primark

Boots- River Island

I hope you have enjoyed this quick outfit of the day. Would you wear shorts with tights this autumn/winter?

E.L.F Healthy Glow Bronzer Review

For me, a bronzer in my everyday makeup routine is essential. However, it can be quite hard for me to find the perfect all over face bronzer that isn't going to make me look orange at all...until I found the E.L.F Healthy Glow Bronzer.

As you can see the packaging isn't appealing but it's what's inside that counts all though this is only £1.50 so what can you expect.

This gives me a lovely bit of colour warming up my complexion. It is easy to blend and can be build able. It has a hint of shimmer but it cannot be seen on the cheeks. This is the best colour match for me, it also comes in other shades to suit everybody. It is pigmented however it isn't that pigmented that it's overboard unlike my NYC bronzer that is ORANGE. I will wear this in winter and summer therefore it is an all year round product. I can also tell this will last for ages as a little goes a long way.

I absolutely love this bronzer it will be repurchased over and over again! I recommend you try this bronzer and I think you will love it as well. You can buy it here

What's your favourite bronzer and have you tried this? Tell me in the comments.

October Wishlit

I love sharing my wishlist with you guys and I love reading these sorts of posts, don't you? There are so many things that could go on this wishlist so I have narrowed it down to a few things I've been wanting for a while.

Benefit Hoola Bronzer- I have been wanting this for ages but just haven't brought it yet. I would use this to contour and a all over the face bronzer to warm up my complexion. I just need to justify why I want a £23.50 bronzer when I am loving a E.L.F £1.50 bronzer...

Benefit Stay Flawless 24 Hour Primer- I have never tried a face primer before and I really want to try this one. I think it will be good when I defiantly need my makeup to last all day. I need to read a few more reviews on this first though!

Hunter Wellies- These were last year's winter fashion but I can tell these will be everywhere again this year. I want the shorter version of the boots as I'm not a big fan of the long boots. These will be perfect for walking in snow and icy weather this winter!

Victoria's Secret Body spray- These sprays will be my next buy from them getting raved about so much and everyone has them just like the Hollister sprays I just had to have last year.

YSL Touche Eclat Highlighter- I have been a fan of brightening underneath my eyes recently and I have never had a product from YSL so this is a want want want!

River Island Gold Chained Bracelet- I love jewelry, and this gold chain bracelet will be perfect as i love anything chunky around my wrists. Does anyone else feel naked without something around their wrists or is that just me?...

What's In My Makeup Bag {College Edition}

So I know a lot of you have gone back to school/sixth form/college already but I don't start college until Tuesday (and I would be lying if I said I am looking forward to it. I hate change!) So I have been getting my bag ready so I am not in a rush Monday or Tuesday morning which gave me the idea of showing you guys what I'm taking in my makeup bag.

17 Shine Control Pressed Powder
The name and packaging have changed for this product however I've had this for a while, I haven't really used it a lot as I've been using my MUA powders and Rimmel Stay Matte powder. I could quite easily go all day without using powder therefore I don't really care about powders as much as other products. I am going to be taking this to control my oils as I can tell it is going to get hot and stuffy in class rooms ugh! It is compact and comes with a sponge and a mirror for on the go touch ups so this is perfect.

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer
This is my all time favourite concealer. The only thing that annoys me is how the writing on the packaging comes off but I am over that now haha! This is quick and easy to cover a blemish however this normally lasts all day on me but if I have a major blemish this will blend and cover quickly.

Maybelline Baby Lips
I cannot go a day without carrying a lip balm! I love this because I can quickly run it over my lips when they are feeling dry. I prefer Vaseline as it lasts longer but baby lips are better for taking out with you as you don't have to stick your fingers into a balm.

Elf Luscious Lipstick
This is my new favourite lip product. It is easy to apply and I don't have to use a mirror! This will be for when I am going out after college to add some colour to my lips. As it is autumn now this is a perfect fall colour. I also find that it is moisturising and lasts for ages!

Rimmel London Professional Eyebrow Pencil
I love this pencil for on the go touch ups and to tame my brows to keep them into place. This is also good for filling in quickly.

I am only taking 5 products to college as that is how much I need. I rarely touch up my makeup throughout the day but these are just essentials in case I need them. Whats in your makeup bag for college/school?

All About Boots

So this Autumn/Winter boots are a must! A pair of boots and fluffy socks and I will be good to go through the cold months! I have hunting for boots for ages. On Wednesday I went shopping and I went to River Island not expecting to find anything I like in there- then saw the most perfect pair of boots! Exactly what I was looking for.

They have amazing detail on them and they are super comfy. I am glad to get away from my converse as they were the only shoes I wore and I was getting bored of them. These boots will go with skirts,leggings and jeans therefore I can tell these are going to be all I wear for winter!

You can get these here from River Island for £45!

What do you think of these boots?

E.L.F Haul

I don't think I have ever been this excited when expecting a delivery. New makeup always excites me especially when it's from a brand I've never tried before. I have been wanting products from E.L.F for a long time now and watching youtube videos and reading reviews has helped me decide what products to purchase. I wanted to try their brushes however they were sold out when I made my purchase and now they are back in stock.. typical!
