Birthday OOTN and OOTD

It was my 16th birthday yesterday and I had an amazing time with all my family and friends! I managed to get my mum to take a few photos of what I was wearing and thought I would share them with you.

 

Dress: Boohoo
 

                                                    

On the Friday evening I and some of my close friends went out for a meal and I decided to wear this blue bodycon dress with a white flower pattern. I bought it a while ago and it was only about £15 (I can't quite remember) which I think is an amzing price for something so nice! I also wore my blue converse with some grey frilly socks from Topshop.



Top: Primark
Leggings: Next
Socks: Topshop

The next day (my actual birthday) I wore a navy shirt with black leggings. These leggings are so nice and soft and are quite thick compared to other places I have tried leggings from, I definatly recommend them! I am also wearing my frilly Topshop socks which I did wear with my black boots from River Island which are shown in my previous haul.

The Perfect Moisturiser?

Review: Garnier Moisture Match

 

 



As soon as I saw this moisturiser in superdrug I bought it straight away! The Garnier Moisture Match range has been out for a few months now but for those of you who don't know there are five different moisturisers in the range, each one for a different skin type. Including: normal skin, normal/dry skin, dry/very dry skin, dull skin and combination/oily skin (the one that I have). They are priced at £5.99 each but I usually buy mine when they are 20% off and you can get them in boots as well as Superdrug.

 

 

I am not sure if I use too little or too much at a time but it lasted a good few months for me before i ran out and re-purchased another. As you have probably already figured out I have combination/oily skin and was always worried about what moisturiser to use because I didn't want it to make my skin look even more oily than it already was. This moisturiser is perfect because as well as being oil free, fast absorbing, suitable for sensitive skin it helps reduce the apperance of shine, leaving a matte finish as well as leaving your skin feeling fresh!

 

 

I apply a large pea size amount onto my finger then rub it all over my face. I use this in the evenings when I get out the shower and sometimes in the morning depending on how much time I have. Even though this is supposed to mattifty your skin, gradually throughout the day my natural oils do start to come through even when using powder but that is expected and I would rather use a moisturiser for my skin type than for all skin types.

 

 

If you have a different skin type but are interested to find out more then click this link (here) where the whole range of moisturisers are explained. I hope this helped anyone looking for a new moisturiser!

Haul: Liverpool One

I have recently been on a day trip to Liverpool to do some shopping because the shops are rubbish where I live! I bought items from River Island, Primark, Topshop, H&M and thought I would share them so you can get an idea of what sought of items are in shops at the moment.

Topshop: Vintage Highwasted Hotpants - £28


I wasn't intending on buying any shorts but these are amazing! I feel it is important to wear shorts that actually cover you up and these do that perfectly without being too long. I am planning to wear these with black tights and either converse or my ankle boots I bought.



Topshop: Arthur School Satchel - £34

I have been looking for a new school bag for ages and thought this black satchel was perfect! It is the perfect size to fit in all my books and seems quite strong too.

 

H&M: Coat - £39.99

The picture doesn't show the coat very well but it is a dark brown/green colour with a fleecy lining and a waterproof outside. The fur around the hood is detachable and looks a little more like feathers.

River Island: Black Cut Out Buckle Side Chelsea Boots - £55

These are something I wouldn't usually go for but I haven't had any new boots for years now and thought that these would look so nice with shorts and tights in the winter. I loved the cut outs and thought I would give them a go!

 

 

 

 

 

Primark: Pyjama Vest Top - £3.50

The lounge wear from primark is my favourite place to buy pyjamas and this vest top is so comfortable to wear in bed.




Primark: Stripped Pyjama Leggings - £5

I have enough pyjamas as it is but these were so soft and I thought they would go with the vest top. They are nice to just lounge around in or to go to sleep in.

 

Primark: Pug Print Pyjama Leggings - £5

The photo isn't too clear but these are exactly as the above but a beige colour with little pug faces all over them. I'm not too sure what attracted me to them as I am not really a dog person, but they are quite cute.

 

 

Primark: Navy Blue Hooded Jacket - £8

I have been wanting to buy the Topshop version of this Jacket for ages but didn't want to spend lots of money on something when I knew I could get it somewhere else cheaper. When I found this in Primark I picked it up straight away! They has so many different colours but I went for a navy blue so I can also wear it for school sport. It is so comfy and goes with everything. I wish I bought two.

 

 

 

Primark: Ramones T-Shirt - £8.00

Looking at this top you would think I was a fan of the Ramones, to be honest I didn't even know who they were when I bought the top but I loved the colour and style so I thought I would buy it!

 

 

Primark: Bendy Hair Curlers - £1

I know they say £1.50 on the packet but they only scanned through at £1! I have been wating to try some of the curlers for ages but never got round to buying some so when I saw these for only a £1 I had to get them because even if they didn't work it wasn't really a waste of money. I have tried these out already a couple of times and was quite suprised with the results so if you want to see a seperate blog post on them just tell me below!




 

 

Primark: Make-Up Bag - £3

As my make-up collection is growing I thought I would purchase another bag (as my other one was overflowing) and I thought the gold studs looked really nice against the black. It also has two compartments so there is plenty of room.

 

Primark: Navy Blue Collard Shirt - £8

This is so nice for the price that it was and I think it will look really nice with leggings or tucked into shorts and tights!



 

Sorry for the lack of posts recently, I haven't been uploading as frequently as I would like but because school has started again it has been hard to fit everything in. I am going to try and write a few posts each weekend and then upload them throughout the week but that is going to get harder when I have to start revising for exams. If you have any requets on posts leave a comment below.

Review: Maybelline Baby Lips

Once the Baby Lips came out in the UK I knew I was going to have to buy some, so after reading reviews and blog posts about them I decided which I wanted to try. I bought mine from boots and everything on Maybelline was three for two so I bought three! From left to right they are: Cherry Me, Hydrate and Pink Punch. I am so pleased that I bought them because for only £2.99 they are an amazing purchase! They are so soft on the lips and because mine have been quite dry lately these are perfect for adding moisture back into them! As I do not have many products for my lips I have been wearing these all the time since I purchased them. 







Pink Punch

Pink Punch was the one I was most excited to try so I am a little bit dissapointed because I have discovered that the colour doesn't suit me very well. Other than that the smell is gorgeous! It reminds me of tropical juice. I find if I just put a tiny bit of this on the lips and blend it in it looks just fine (I think).



Cherry Me

I was also going to buy peach kiss but they were sold out of that one in boots so I bought Cherry Me instead which I am so pleased I did! I would say this coulour suits me more than Pink Punch and is my favourite out of the three of them.


 





 

Hydrate 

I am glad I chose a clear shade too because I use this just before I go to bed or any other time I am wearing no makeup because then I don't have to apply a tinted one just to get soft lips! I would describe the smell a mixture between pinapple and lemon.. I don't think that is what it is but it does smell very fresh.

My lips have been a little bit red lately so the swatches didn't look as good on them so I decided to do them on my hand instead so you can still see what they are like. The far right is Cherry Me which is a dark red/pink colour but is very sheer so adds just a nice tint of colour to your lips but not to little. The one in the middle is Pink Punch which is a baby/pale pink so didn't look as good with my light hair and skin but would probably suit people with more of a tan. I also found the colour stood out more than the cherry shade did. Finally on the far left (if you can notice) is Hydrate which has no colour but leaves a lovely glossy finish on the lips making them look moisturised and healthy.

 

 

 

 

What do you think of the Baby Lips and what is your favourite shade?
