Rimmel BB Cream

If you know me at all, you will know that I am not a huge fan of heavy foundations of anything of the sort on my face. I much prefer the lighter coverage foundations, BB creams and tinted moisturisers.

One in particular that I have been loving lately is the Rimmel BB Cream, not only is it matte on the skin (great for you oily girls), but it also has SPF 15 in it, which is great in the colder weather. 

I think it's going to be a staple this winter for me, it's so wearable and looks so even and fresh on the skin! 

If you like to build it up, try using this underneath your foundation as a base, it's so light you wont even know it's there.

What is your winter base?

Winter Wonderland TAG!

Hello lovelies! 

So if you read my other blog you will know that I haven't been at home in a while so haven't been able to blog properly! I felt deprived from not blogging and wanted to at least get some posts up this month, so I thought I'd do yet another Christmas themed tag! I love TAGS and I love Christmas so if I can't bring you beauty related posts it's the best I can do, so enjoy! 

1. Favourite things about winter?
Everything! What's not to love? Snow, fairy lights, being with family, Christmas dinner, giving presents, receiving presents, Christmas films, the list could go on...


2. Scarves or beanies?
I'm a scarf person, I love wooly hats, but I love a good scarf! 

3. Favourite holiday movie?
Jingle all the Way just because I used to watch it every single year! And Home Alone! Still good no matter how many times you watch it!

4. Favourite Starbucks holiday drink?
I've been loving their Vanilla Hot Chocolate this winter, it's not a seasonal one but it's good.

5. Favourite winter nail polish?
I've worn OPI - Bastille my Heart a lot lately, and anything glittery!

6. What are you three winter essentials?
It's hard to pick just three! Hmm, a good comfortable pair of boots, an electric blanket and an extra thick scarf.

7. Name one item on your wish list this year..
I don't really have a wish list, I've almost bought myself a few things lately but put it off in case I'm getting it for Christmas, so anything I really want ill probably get if after Christmas anyway, one thing I do need/want is a new day bag. My boyfriend just broke the zip off mine, so I need a new one.

8. Favourite holiday song?
It has to be The Pouges - Fairy tale of New York! If not then Chris De Burgh - A Spaceman Came Travelling, I'm not even sure if that one's a Christmas song, but it reminds me of Christmas.

9. Did you go Black Friday shopping this year?
Black Friday isn't a thing in England, however this year for some reason a few shops decided to go all American on us and throw Black Friday sales. However I don't enjoy sale shopping, especially if it's only a one day sale so I didn't go. Far too stressful.

10. Must have winter lip product?
I can't link pictures due to not being at a computer, but a good lip balm (Blistex Intensive Moisturiser) and berry lips have been good to me lately. (Berry lip post coming soon)!

11. Will you be rocking an ugly Christmas jumper this year?
Ugly?! I love Christmas jumpers! I don't have one yet but will hopefully be rocking one on Christmas day!

12. Have you ever had a white Christmas where you live?
Yep, in England we get snow November to February sometimes!

13. Favourite winter candle scent?
Yankee Candle - Cinammon Stick

14. How will you be celebrating this holiday?
I'm going home which I'm so excited about, you can read all about it on my other blog. But I'll be spending it with my family in the countryside :D

And that's that, feel free to do this and let me know if you do or have already because I love reading them, and merry Christmas :) 

November Favourites!

Sleek Blusher - Pixie Pink 

The rosier the cheeks the better this time of year, I'm a huge fan of minimal make up with a flush of colour on the cheeks and a berry lip. Perfect. 

Laura Mercier Hand Cream - Almond and Coconut Milk 

The nicest scented hand cream ever. Without a doubt. And perfect in the cold weather.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain - Crush 

This has been on my lips pretty much through the length of Autumn.

Necklace - Peacocks 

I've been wearing a lot of black lately, so statement necklaces have been my 'go to' to jazz up my outfits. 

Revlon Lip Butter - Berry Smoothie 

The perfect everyday lip. Looks even better on pale skin. 

Yankee Candles - Cinnamon Stick 

Of course, nothing says Christmas quite like a cinnamon scented candle. 

Victoria's Secret Body Spray - Red Plum & Fresia 

I've worn this so much the past month, fruity, girly and kinda wintery at the same time. 

Tresemme Oil Elixir 

My hairs new best friend.

Scandaleyes Thick and Thin Liner - Black Noir 

My eyes' new best friend.

 Blistex Intensive Moisturizer 

Dry lips be gone. This is getting me through the colder months with ease.

OPI - Casino Royale

This kind of colour has been on my nails constantly, along with Essie - Foot Loose. Love. 

What's on my face - Autumn/Winter edition

Hi everyone! 

So it's that time of year again, time to ditch the Orange lipstick and bronzer and commence the berry lips and pale skin!

I don't know about you but this time of year I like my face to look very fresh and healthy and glowing and my lips to be bright! All that said I thought I'd show you a picture of my everyday make up the past couple of weeks, if I fancy a change I will usually change up my lip colour and my blush but this has been my most worn make up look and I'm sure it will be for the rest of the colder months.
