Saturday's Outfit & FOTD - Weekend Styling.

Hi lovelies, how is it already Sunday?! I feel like it should still be Saturday, and not have the threat of work tomorrow morning... Urgh. Anyway, yesterday I was a busy bee with a trip to Westfield Stratford to have lunch with the boyfriend and with a two hour driving lesson - I was quite proud of myself actually and bought NOTHING in Westfields, despite my payday wishlist growing almost double in size in the past week alone. For my trips out, I decided to revel in my weekend wardrobe:

(( Dress: River Island

Cardigan: New Look

Leather Boots: Next

Belt: Boohoo))

During the week I tend to end up wearing the same dresses over and over again, as they are appropriate in length and style, so when it comes to weekends I try and wear things that are more student-y and less work just so I can have a bit of variety in what I wear rather than feeling that there is no difference between my work and weekend clothes anymore. This dress is definitely one of my weekend items, and I love just how versatile it can be when dressed up with different accessories. Yesterday, I went for a more natural sort of look with a tan cardigan and brown boots (maybe even a Cowboy feel?). Its also incredible comfortable, a plus when I am just wanting to chill out without having to fidget constantly to get comfortable or worry that its too low cut/too short.

 As it is the weekend, I also went back to playing with my make-up and using black eyeliner which I have cut down using during the week so I feel like I can do something a bit more special on the weekend:

((MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation 'NC15'; Benefit's Stay Put Concealer; Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner 'Black Ink'; No7 Creme Touch Powder 'Translucent'; Urban Decay's 'Suspect' 'Snakebite' Eyeshadows; Inika Brown Eyeliner; Benefit's High Beam; Benefit's Thrrrob Blush; Diorshow Iconic Mascara; Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Lipgloss.))

I went for a soft, smokey eye look yesterday to go with the more natural colours in my outfit, using Urban Decay's Naked2 'Suspect' as an all over colour, and then 'Snakebite' on the outer edges and crease line. I absolutely love the blend brush that came with my Naked2, as it blends the colours perfectly without losing too much of the pigmentation or mixing the colours together too much. I've also gone back to using Bobbi Brown's Gel Eyeliner as I love just how dark it comes out in one sweep, and the long lasting power it has - honestly, when it comes to washing my face at night it takes a good two scrubs to get it off my eyes! With a lot of focus having gone onto my eyes wit this look, I went for just a natural lipgloss to give me a bit of shine.

Are you like me and have a bit of your wardrobe designated for the weekends? Or style your make up differently on the weekends?

Love,

Review: Soap & Glory's Breakfast Scrub - A Heavenly Way to Start the Day!

Hello my lovelies, how are you all surviving with the return to work after the long weekend? I'm desperately trying to make the most out of my last little bit of half term which includes several trips to the cinema to bawl my eyes out at Titanic 3D & The Hunger Games, and having family come to visit from Belgium... Hopefully they will bring WeightWatcher friendly waffles! 

I was looking over my posts and noticed that recently I have been shoving alot of my face/outfits at you guys, and no-one wants to see too much of this mug! So its about time for another review and this is a product I use almost daily and love:

Soap & Glory's The Breakfast Scrub with Oat, Shea Butter, Sugar & Maple Scrub

I absolutely love, love, love this scrub! I got it as part of a birthday present in one of those huuuge Soap & Glory box sets that are filled with all sorts of goodies, and we have not been parted since. 

If you're not familiar with body scrubs, I would highly recommend giving one a try! I've used a few in my time, and what I love about scrubs is how they make my skin so incredibly soft and leave it with a healthy glow - so when I was given this one that smelt like a Crunchie bar it became a daily necessity.

For me, the Soap & Glory label already gave me the reassurance that it was going to be a good product before trying it as I haven't had a bad experience yet from them! This scrub was no let down, with all natural ingriedients such as bananas, almond & honey extracts and organic cupuacu scrubs which I love as always trying to avoid any extra chemicals, opting for more natural products now days. However, although the soft skin, glow and natural ingriedients are huge positives, its not my favourite part of this scrub... Do you want to know what is? It's the fragrance. Smelling like a Crunchie bar to start the day is honestly the best way to wake up in the mornings - yes, it does make me want to eat it out of the pot especially since joining Weightwatchers, I'm not going to lie, but it just helps my self-control further that I don't! I'll also let you into another secret... I have had this scrub for well over a year now, that's how long it has lasted me. I don't really need to use that much, as you can see from the picture, a couple of finger scrapes and it scrubs really well all over so it has lasted forever! 

If you don't believe this glowing (get it? ha ha ha) review, on the Boots website there are 53 5* reviews - one that is very aptly titled 'I want to eat myself'! For £9.50, you really don't want to give this product a miss for super soft skin and a sweet fragrance! 

P.S Only two days before these beauties are finished on eBay - a couple of dresses, a top and a skirt all looking for good homes! Click here.

Are you a scrub fan?

Love,
