Soft and Supple Hands

We are now in the dry and chapped hand period. So hand creams are now essential to achieve incredibly smooth and beautiful hands. I've got my 3 favourite hand creams to show you all which vary in price.

From  L-R Boots Essential Hand Cream, Soap and Glory Hand Food, L'occitane  Shea Butter Hand Cream

The first is the boots essential hand cream priced at around £1.35. This hand cream is good, I wouldn't say its amazing but it does the job. Keeping hands hydrated and preventing them from getting chapped.


Second is the Soap and Glory Hand food priced £4.85. This isn't greasy and has great consistency, it keeps hands moisturised, hydrated and soft. Also it smells lovelyyy!


Last is the L'occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream. Priced at £17.50, this hand cream isn't cheap. It's the thickest consistency out of the three but it moisturises, nourishes and protects your hands. I really do love this hand cream, but priced at £17.50 I feel that's a bit steep so I'll just have to wait for my birthday or Christmas.

So above all my favourite hand cream for the winter is the Soap and Glory's Hand Food. Good price and amazing quality, therefore I know this product will be a helping hand (excuse the pun)! 



What is your hand savior?

Frankly Scarlet Review

Frankly Scarlet blush by Mac has now been added to my makeup bag... finally! I went to my nearest Mac counter a few weeks back only to be told that they didn't have the 'Frankly Scarlet' blush at the moment and that it has probably been discontinued but look on the website. I looked on the Mac website and it was there and not discontinued  I was so close to buying it online, however my nerves got the better of me as it's a bright colour I wanted to see it in the flesh before purchasing. So I went to another Mac store and they had it! I didn't even really have to think about the decision before I bought it.

There are little flecks of glitter that show up so nicely on the skin.

As you can see the blush is really pigmented. This means you have to be super careful not to apply too much as you don't want to look like a clown! I feel this blush is quite hard for some skin tones to pull off. But luckily with my olive skin tone when applied lightly it looks really nice. I think this blush will look even nicer in the summer, however I'm really excited to wear this, this winter.

What blush will you be wearing this winter?

Wish List

Lately I have been craving a few items but unfortunately my money will not stretch far enough to satisfy the cravings. 

1st on my list is the Elemis fresh skin range. I really want the moisturisers but at around £20 each, I haven't yet found the courage to splash out.

2nd is the new Soap and Glory range, in particularly the 'Lid Stuff' eyeshadow in 'Whats Nude'. I've heard a lot about their new range, so I can't wait to get my hands on some of it.

3rd is a Velvet skirt. This one is from Topshop but for £34, I might as well save some money and make my own!

4th is a hair cut! My hair is already quite short (touching shoulder length) but last winter I had it bob length and I loved it... I want it back! One of my biggest style icons is Alexa Chung and I really want it cut like this;

 5th is a holiday. I may have only just been back from half term. However, I need to get away from all the stress and exams. So can someone please take me away, preferable somewhere hot with nice sandy beaches?

Finally this one is an unrealistic wish but oh well. Its the Jeffery Campbell Lita's. They are just amazing, words can not express my love for these shoes!! Mum if you're reading this, it's Christmas soon (hint, hint) haha!

Outfit Of The Day

I'd thought I would share with you what I wore the other day. I was meeting up with friends up in Central London. I wanted something with a bit more going on, I wanted to add a splash of colour to my usual black and grey outfits- I thought this shirt was perfect! I bought this when I was Bournemouth early in the year and I just love the print. My trusty high wasted shorts were worn along with my comfortable, classic vans.

H&M shirt
Topshop Shorts
M&S Tights
Black Vans

Fossil Watch
Various charms that I put on a chain

Hope you like it!
