Christmas Day Outfit

Hi everyone!
Christmas day is almost upon us! Yay! I love christmas but usually I have to say that when it comes to looks, I don't make an effort on christmas day. I'll not even have a shower so my hair will be greasy, no makeup and I won't get out of my pyjamas until lunch, even then I'll only have some joggers on. However this year, I wanted it to be different. I want to make a big effort and look nice on christmas so this is what I am going to wear.

So this is a burgundy dress with lace detail at the top. It has an underskirt making the bottom of the skirt come out. It is quite dressy however it is reusable and I will wear it again.

This is quite a comfy dress really and it fits very well. It has a zipper up the back from the waist upwards and a ribbon tie around the middle making it fit securely and look a lot nicer. This also makes it look a lot more slimming and shows off your waist more. You could probably pair this dress with a belt to show of your waist further and create a bigger slimming effect.

I probably won't wear shoes on the day because I won't be leaving the house but if I was attending a bigger occasion or a party or something, I would pair this dress with quite simple shoes. In the photo, I have some new black heels of mine from the Lauren Conrad range at Kohls, these were on sale so I took the opportunity. This dress would also look nice with nude shoes.

I purchased this dress at Dillards but I have previously seen a very similar one at JCPenny. I would say that this dress isn't the cheapest in the world but if you're wearing it again it will be worth it, it is very good quality. I also think it's worth mentioning that you should try this dress on before purchasing it as the sizes can be very inaccurate. For example, I'm usually a size 0 but this dress is a size 2-3 and I'm definitely not a 2-3. I'm so glad I tried it on otherwise I wouldn't have bought it!

Mini Beauty Haul

Hi everyone!

I've recently been on a small beauty haul, not to anywhere special just to tesco and I've purchased some great products so I decided to review them for you today.

So I purchased lots of makeup. The first product I bought was the Rimmel London Fix & Primer. This was a repurchase because I've used up my first bottle! I love this product so much. It feels like a moisturiser when you rub it into your skin and it makes your makeup last all day, I would definitely say that this is my favourite primer. Its so inexpensive too, its great.

My next item was the Maybelline Age Rewind Dark Circles Concealer. This was a product that I have already purchased but lost so I have repurchased it. This is 100% my favourite under-eye concealer, I love the sponge applicator and I would definitely recommend it. 

The next product is the Rimmel London True Match Perfection Foundation in the colour Classic Ivory. I have not yet used this item since purchasing it but I have borrowed someone else's not long ago and really liked it so I decided to buy myself one. I am hoping that this is going to be my favourite foundation because if you've read my previous blog posts, you'll know that I've been waiting to find a foundation I love. With the way it felt when I borrowed it, I'm sure it will.

I also bought another foundation: Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in the colour Vanilla. I also borrowed this foundation and paired it with Rimmel London True Match Perfection and loved the way my skin appeared so I just had to purchase this myself. The foundation feels very light on your skin which is the way I like it and gives quite a light-medium coverage. I also loved that it smelt like strawberries. I really enjoyed using this foundation.

The next product is the Bourjois Blush in the colour Rose 15. This is a much darker colour blush which is what I wanted for this winter season, it is also very autumnal so I will use it next year too. I already have a Bourjois Blush and I really like that so I thought it was safe to buy another from this brand.

Th final product I purchased was the Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer. I was reading Harrietjacksonx blog post not long ago and she said she liked these lip lacquers so I decided to try them out for myself. I have it in the colour Nova and I really like this product so far.

Overall, my haul was a big success and I can't wait to use these products in the future.
