Yours Clothing Haul

I decided to do a bit of online shopping, a little bit naughty I admit, but I had been looking for some autumn/winter tops for a while now, especially since all my other tops are summery t-shirts and sleeveless blouses, so I thought it was about time for an upgrade of my wardrobe.

So here are the things I picked up during a little shopping trip online at Yours Clothing, (I should note that Yours Clothing is a plus sized clothing company)






Grey Caviar Beaded Lace Stripe Vest- £15
Charcoal Marl Longline Jersey Rib Top With Silver Jewel Detail- £17
Mint Green Loose Knitted Stripe Dipped Hem Jumper- £16
Grey Loose Knit Jumper- £19
Grey Studded Knit Jumper- £20
Dark Grey Cardigan With PU Detail On Shoulder- £14

I also picked up this shirt from Primark on a recent trip, Unfortunatly I dont remember the cost.

So there you go guys, a little winter haul! Lets hope the weather gets a bit colder so I can wear my new clothes and my new coat. Hope you guys had a wonderful weekend! 

Talk to you soon!

Fit and Flare Coat

The other day while I was out shopping, I purchased a new coat, now, I haven't owned a winter coat since I was a child, and every year I say to myself "you need a coat" but I never buy one, but this year I finally got one.


The coat I chose was a fit and flare biker style coat from Primark, that cost me £25, a bargain compared to some of the prices where I work, and after trying it on and my fiance telling me he really like it, I fell in love. 



The coat is super cute, it has lovely detailing around the collar, an asymmetric zipper and a PU belt, and honestly I love it, its super comfy and it fits me really well, and for £25 it was a complete steal! 

I hope you enjoyed this post, I'm about to do a bit of internet shopping, so there should be a haul or two coming your way very soon! 

Talk to you later, byee x

For todays post I'm going to be showing you what I take with me to work, My essentials, as well as my dinner, so lets get started!


ASOS.Com Handbag
The handbag is from asos.com, is costs £20, unfortunately I couldn't find the Mink versions, which is the one I have, but never the less I love this bag, its small, but can fit alot of items, and since I share a locker with a friend of mine I don't want to be taking a giant handbag.

All My Stuff!
I usually take the same things everyday, and if you take away the food, this is pretty much what I carry on a regular day. 
1 Packet of Crisps
1 Rice Crispy Square 
1 Can of Soft Drink
Keys
Phone
Purse
Mirror
Concealer - Rimmel Wake Me Up

Green With Envy!

So the weather has been all over the place in England over the last couple of days, and it's starting to get colder and darker.. its finally feeling like autumn, and you know what that means?

Autumnal Nail Polish!


And my go to polish for the season is 'Green With Envy' From The Collection Lasting Colour Range, And I totally love it, I've had it for a while now, and it's actually my go to colour all year round, but for this time of year, it's the perfect colour.



The colour is a deep metallic green, which is very 'festive' if I do say so, or is it a bit too soon to be getting festive? I hope not!


The application is superb, I've done a review of another colour in the range, so I wont go into too much detail here, but like I said in the previous post, the colour glides on in one coat, and the wide brush makes for easy and quick application. 

I have a couple of other colours from the range which I might do a separate post on if you guys want to see it?
Anyway, I hope you've all had a fantastic Saturday!

How I Style My Hair For Work

When I style my hair for work, I have three 'Go to' styles, mainly because I am growing my fringe out and its started to get to the point where it doesn't stay where I ask it to, even with hair spray, so my only option is to pin it out of my face. Even if I decide to style my fringe as a fringe, I still attach a couple of bobby pins to my work shirt just incase!

All three of these styles are super easy to achieve and take minimum effort, which is great when I have to be out of the door at 5:30am and I don't wake up until 4:45am!

The first style I go for is the basic 'quiff', super easy to do and looks cute, this is the only style that requires me to use hair spray, just for the little baby hairs I have. 

Quiff

 The second style, and my personal favorite is the 'Half French Twist' similar to the french braid but you only use two sections of hair instead of three. This is the one I wear most often, and if I need to throw my fringe up while I'm at work this is the way I do it because I don't need a mirror or any hair spray, just to bobby pins. Easy!
Half French Twist

The last style is the 'Half French Braid', Which like I said is similar to the twist, and uses the same method, just with three sections of hair, I don't go for this style as often, because i'm lazy and would much rather do the twist because it takes just a bit less effort! 

Half French Braid
So there you have it, my three 'Go to hair styles' These aren't just for work, I do the same things when I'm off work, Like today, but sometimes when i'm off work, I just throw my hair in a ponytail and call it a day! Also I'd like to apologize for the crappy photos, I've been ill for the past week and didn't feel like doing a full face of make up. 

How do you style your hair for work/school? 
 Have a lovely day guys!

Denim Effect Nail Polish?


During a recent trip to my local ASDA I couldn't help being drawn to this nail polish, I'd had never tried anything like it but for £3 I popped in my trolley thinking "well, if its bad, it was only £3" And a few days ago I finally got around to trying it.

 With flash.

Without flash.

The effect of this nail polish is actually pretty neat, Its a metallic blue with a matte finish, I don't know that I'd call it 'Denim' but the effect is lovely. I will say however that the lasting power of this isn't that great, mine started chipping the morning after application, and I wasn't even working! 
Regardless of the lasting power of this polish, the colour is beautiful, and like is opaque in one coat, a thick coat, but still, only one coat, and for the price I cant really argue with that.

The polish was available at my local store but as it is limited edition, I'm not sure if it still available, but if it is it comes in two shades, the blue one featured above, and a black denim shade. Both are/were priced at £3.

Thanks for reading!

Quenching My Thirst!

Excuse the cheesy title, I couldn't help myself. Todays post is going to be a quick review of the Quick Fix Facials- Mega Moisture Gel Mask. 
This mask is packed full of skin loving ingredients including HyaluronicAcid, And Vitamin E, and claims to hold 10 facials, and even though I have only used it once, I can see I still have a lot to use. 





The mask is a thick gel/cream formula which I liked and during the 'waiting period' I didnt find it overly drying which is something I dont really like about clay masks (you know when you cant move your face? no thank you, not for me) and when I washed it off about 10 minutes later I did notice and immediate difference in my skin, I have really dry skin around my nose and eye brows but after using this mask I found my skin to be really smooth. After finishing off with my toner and moisturizers I went to bed and when I woke up my skin was still really soft and felt amazing, Its been a while since the skin around my nose hasnt felt flaky which is a bonus for me. So over all I'd say this mask is brilliant and the price is lovely as well.

You can purchase Quick Fix Facials at your local boots priced at £4.99
Hope you guys have has a lovely weekend!

Barry M Gelly Nail Paint in Guava

Hey guys, just a quick post today as I'm super tired. If you read my post yesterday you will know that I picked up the Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint in Guava, and I just tried it out so I thought you might like to see how the polish looks on the nails.


Please ignore the sloppy paint job.. Sleepy Kezzieeee!

Anyway, The colour is super glossy and opaque, I only had to use 1 coat, which is great for me since I'm super lazy when it comes to painting my nails! I seriously love this colour and can see myself getting a lot of use out of it next spring/Summer!
Well, I'm off for a quick nap, So I'll be back tomorrow with a Rimmel Mascara Review!
