Matchy-Matchy // Autumn Lips + Nails

BEAUTY

I've always been the sort of person that loves matching their nail varnish choice to other details in an outfit or make-up look and recently I've found the perfect Autumn combo that I've been wearing pretty non-stop recently, so I thought I'd share it with you!

Gift Ideas // Valentines Day

BEAUTY

So can you believe this is my 200th post?! That's mad considering I average one or two posts a week... Anyways, as it's only a week to go until Valentines Day, I thought I would share some beauty related gift ideas with you, so that you can either treat yo-self, orrr drop a load of not so subtle hints to your other half until they get you a little somethinnn.

New Year // New Nail Technique

BEAUTY

I've always seen 'negative space nails' and 'watercolour nails' on Pinterest and thought they looked really cool, but I've never given either a go! I feel like I've been neglecting doing my nails recently, but with the new year I've decided to get back into doing them. 

Easy To Wear Berry Lips //

BEAUTY

Now I know I'm a few days late for Halloween but you can wear vampy lips all Autumn/ Winter long right? I used to be a bit of a wimp when it came to rocking darker lips but these five products are pretty foolproof and allow you to be as bold and daring as you like!

My Perfume Collection

BEAUTY

I know there are some people out there who have that one signature perfume that they always go for, but that person is most definitely not me. I'm a bit of a fragrance floozie if I'm honest and I love having lots to choose from depending on my outfit, mood, the season, the occasion etc.

Summer Nails // The Best Holiday Shades

BEAUTY

Now I know that when it comes to summer shades most people are all about the red's and oranges, but to me they feel like more of an Autumn thing, so I'm digging all the bronze-golds and turquoise shades instead. I've acquired quite a few lovely shades that I keep reaching for at the moment so here's my round up for ya!

Get Your Glow On // Summer Shimmer

BEAUTY

There are just some beauty products that I feel epitomise sun, summer and holidays and these five certainly do it for me! I thought I'd do a little round up of my favourite products to use to enhance a tan and add shimmer and moisture to your skin - even though I'm not going on holiday this year :(

Chanel Le Blanc Sheer Illuminating Base

BEAUTY

I've been meaning to write a review on this for absolutely ages as it's actually a product that I get a fair bit of use out of. I sort've have a love-hate relationship with this Chanel primer/ base  - let's put it this way - it definitely has it's pro's and con's!

My Three Favourite Foundations For Dry Skin // Nars, Armani + Chanel

BEAUTY

I have quite dry skin so finding a good foundation that doesn't dry it out further or enhance the appearance of any parched patches is something of a must. These three are all perfect foundations for me and are ones that I love to mix and match with, all depending on the shade and finish that I'm after.

Chanel Chance Eau Tendre // Eau De Toilette + Body Lotion

BEAUTY

Chanel Chance Eau Tendre has been one of my absolute favourite perfumes ever since it was first released, it's just such an easy to wear classic in my book! I actually got given the moisture mist as a Christmas present and they go so well together when you want to feel extra pampered and smelling amazing.

My Favourite Nude Lip Shades

BEAUTY

I love a good 'my lips but better' shade - don't you? They're just so easy to wear, and finish off any make-up look with the minimal amount of effort required. There's no need to worry about the perils of lipstick on the teeth or getting the outline just so when wearing one of these shades. I thought I'd share some of my tried and tested favourites with you today (trust me some are veeery well loved!).

The Best Waterproof Eyeliners // Chanel Erable, Celadon + Bleu Exquis

BEAUTY

I never used to be into kohl eyeliner at all - the pencil never stayed sharp, it made my eyes look small (I'd just put it on my waterline, eughh) and I just thought it was far too messy to be bothered with. Looking back - how wrong was I? Nowadays I use it all the time and it's become a staple part of my make-up routine. These three are my holy grail eyeliners - I actually don't think I own many others and I really don't need to!

Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Colour Stick

BEAUTY

I love a good creamy blusher, so when I saw the newest Les Beiges collection from Chanel I just couldn't resist.

Ultra Light // Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation

BEAUTY

So I've actually re-purchased this foundation twice now - that's how much I love and wear it! I can't believe I've never blogged about it before to be honest.

Quick Sticks // Chanel Fresh Effect Stylo Eyeshadow + By Terry Ombre Blackstar

BEAUTY

I'm really loving quick, simple eyeshadow looks at the moment and these creamy shadow sticks from Chanel & By Terry are perfect for achieving it!

A Few Spring-time Favourites...

BEAUTY

The weather here in the UK has (strangely!) been pretty good lately - consistently warm and sunny - it most definitely feels like spring! With that thought in mind, I thought it was time for me to post something of a spring edit, with some of the products I've been using a lot at this time of year.

Luxurious Lips // Chanel Rouge Allure Gloss

BEAUTY

I have to admit, I'm not usually the biggest lipgloss fan out there, but when Chanel announced a new lipgloss with the same packaging style as the Rouge Allure lipstick range, I was really excited to try one  out. These Rouge Allure Glosses are put across by Chanel as a hybrid product, going on like a lipgloss, but giving all the colour of a lipstick. There are 8 shades in total, ranging from darker reds and browns to lighter pinks and corals.

Some 2014 Favourites // Have a Happy New Year!

BEAUTY

So it's 2015 - can you believe it? This year has gone soo fast! I though it was time to get my act together and post the obligatory 2014 favourites that every beauty blogger and their dog seem to be posting at the moment - and here they are…

Pop of Pink // Chanel Powder Blush Ultra Rose

BEAUTY

I've been meaning to write about this blush for a ridiculously long time... I actually purchased this way back when my boyfriend took me to Paris in February. I got this in the Flagship Chanel store on Rue Cambon, after I'd been eyeing it up for ages. Im not sure if its available in the UK so when I saw it in person I swiftly parted with my money!

Summer Skin // Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Multi Colour Powder

BEAUTY

This is a bit of a late post as this powder has been out for quite a while, but i really wanted to blog about it, because it's just so darn beautiful! I have to confess, I may be a little biased due to a ridiculous obsession for all things Chanel, but it really does give glowing, subtly bronzed skin in a flash.
