Jeffrey Campbell



Hey loves, today i wanted to do a little post on Jeffrey Campbell shoes which i love.

I bought my pair about two years ago and have never worn them! I do this with things all the time but am getting much better. I really do like the heels i've got by JC but its the ankle detail i love the most, so girly and glam! I also LOVEEE the box, mad i know but its so cute.






I've only got one pair of JC's so i don't know weather this is in all the boxes (im guessing it is)

Its a letter that was sent to their offices in 2006, they never found who sent it, or the girl in it. If you want to read it i can type it up for you, let me know.

So thats my pair, others i love are..

Update & 'Haul'

Hey!
Firstly, my lovely phone has broken ;'( ! So i took it to the tmoblie shop yesterday and its been sent off to be mended, which means it could take up to two weeks to come back. I use my phone for my photos! Ahh .. so im going to be using another phone for now, the photos might look pretty crappy, sorry! I've been looking for a camera to buy for a while now as mine is old and i don't really like it anymore. The problem is, i've got my heart set on a cute pink one! But i dont want to buy a crappy camera just coz it looks cute.
Anyway, me and my boyfriend went to do a little food shopping yesterday and i picked up a few bits from the shop next door and from Boots! I love boots.


My skin type use to be Normal which was great, i never got spots and it was just perfect.
But silly me, i started over cleaning my skin which stripped all the natural oils. The result? My skin had to change its balance to keep up, so i now have Combination skin (the most common skin type) but its mostly oily. If you do have normal skin do not over clean it, if it is already normal it is clearly doing fine on its own, just carry on with your normal
routine. So using the right moisturiser is key to great skin. I picked up this OIL FREE Moisturiser (oily skin needs an oil free moisturiser, which im sure you all knew) by Nivea. It has witch hazel (which can be used by itself as a toner) and mattispheres.
This was on offer for £2 and it is amazing! I know i only got it yesterday so i've only used it twice but already it has worked wonders on my skin so im excited to use it. I'll do a review when i've used the product for a week or two.


This one is a Regenerist Cleanser by Olay. It says its a 'daily thermal skin polisher, self heating exfoliating treatment.. for the look of a mini peel'
So again i only got it yesterday so its been used twice but it is great! It feels amazing how it heats your face while your using it and its very easy to wash off. I used this before putting the moisturiser on, they work great together even though they are by different companies.
Again i'll do a review after more use.



I bought the face wipes i always get by soap and glory. I love these things





Okay so i know i dont wear foundation (but i do apply on other people) but i do use makeup sponges. They are really useful for cream based blusher or power. I normally get wedged ones but i saw these for £1. They are all different sizes, shapes, thickness. I can cut these into other shapes if i want to so i really like these.


And ofcourse the basics. For removing makeup or nail paint

Hey Girls.
I know im not blogging as much as i was before, my work days have changed :( sorry.
Anyway i've heard loads about Tweezerman (who do things like nail products too) and finally thought it was time to give them a go. I've only ever heard great things about them so im hopeful they'll be great. I got the mini size for my 'testing' haha.. I'll probably get a bigger pair at some point if i really like them.
I got these cute poka dot ones which come in a case to store them away safely (they all come with this) It would be really useful if you want to take them somewhere if your bag.
These ones were £12 as they are mini. Bigger sizes are £20 onwards.


I got this cute little bow ring from Oasis too.
I reallly want a bow necklace to match but haven't found one i really like yet.

I Love Caprice

Hey honeys!
Well i guess this is a little 'help me' post for you girls!
Okay so im quite big on top. Considering im a size 6/8 (UK sizes) it can be a problem when it comes to clothes as they seem to think every girl this size is flat chested, but it is a major problem when it comes to bikinis. So i've been wearing Caprice bikinis for a long time now (as they come in bra sizes! yay) and i really do love them as they are so cute and are great fits. But i would like a change! So if anyone knows of cute bikinis which come in bra sizes (need to go up to an E) let me know!
All bikinis should come in bra sizes i reckon, would be alot easier.




Heres me in one of mine by Caprice. I know i look a mess, i was on holiday so who cares?!

OOTD

Just a quick (picture heavy) OOTD to share with you my new maxi dress! I only have one other maxi dress as they are the hardest thing to find! Most of them look horrible and i'd been looking for a really colourful one for ages, and all id found was nasty tent-like maxis. Sooo.. my heart skiped a beat when i saw this dress, it is amazing! I love it so much. Its from Republic and cost £26.99 how cheap! The jackets from Topshop and was £40 and the ring is from Lipsy and is now in the sale at £4. Earrings from ASOS i think they are about £8.

FUN EYES MAKEUP LOOK

(THIS POST IS PICTURE HEAVY)!
Hellooo my lovelies!
I did a fun makeup look earlier that i wanted to share with you all. I used sequins and beads to funk it up but it could be worn more casually or for a night out without those, just leaving the rest. I quite liked how this looked without the S&B's and would defo wear this out!
It actually quite similar in alot of ways to my 'everyday' makeup.










Products used:


Beads and Sequins
GOSH foundation primer, i never wear foundation but this is the best base for any makeup
Soap & Glory Bright here, Bright now (like a tinted moisturser)
Urban Decay eyeshadow primer potion
Benefit Bad gal mascara
MAC concealer
Rimmel pressed powder (to set)
Rimmel Exaggerate liquid eyeliner
All eyeshadows from the paintbox palette (Black, grey, silver, white and a tiny brown)
Bourjois paris Fuchsia o bobo lipstick
