So me and Sean are heading down to London this weekend to celebrate 2 amazing years together! I've been thinking really hard about what to wear to dinner and for drinks on the Saturday night, and I think something like this will be perfect.
I've actually already got the shoes and dress. I bought the shoes a few days ago and they were a total impulse buy! I was on the hunt for some heeled Chelsea boots and when I saw these beauties I had to have them. They were nothing like what I had planned to buy but they were in the sale so I treated myself.
The dress on the other hand I did actually need. I mean it's coming up to Christmas and I'm sure I'll be invited to loads of parties (yeah right) so I need a new dress. This cute little skater dress is from AX Paris and it was a complete bargain! It was originally £28 but it was in the sale for a tenner, amazing right? But being the bargain hunter I am, I found a 20% off code that brought it down to £8! Times are hard don't judge haha!
Now for my bag I'm thinking of using a large black clutch like this one from Asos. I need something big enough to fit all my junk in but I don't want anything too bulky so I think something like this would be perfect!
As for the accessories I think a thin black or silver belt would go really well. With a dress that has such a loud print like this one I think you need a belt to break it up a bit and finish the look.
Jewellery can make or break an outfit and I think going for something simple would be the best idea here. I've decided that a cute retro watch would finish the outfit off nicely. I've chosen this one from Asos but you can pick similar ones up on eBay for around £3.
So that's the sort of outfit I'm going to wear Saturday night, I hope you enjoyed reading through it. I'm so excited to spend the whole weekend in in London. Do you guys have any pubs or restaurants you would recommend? We're kind of stuck for where to eat and I'd love to hear about your favorite places!
Thanks for reading!

It's time for my monthly beauty favorites again! This month i've only picked 3 as I haven't really bought much or tried anything new. I've been using these 3 products a hell of a lot over the last month so here are my October Beauty favourites...
1. Aussie Miracle Moist Conditioner - Okay so I've used this conditioner before, but lately my hair has been wild and dry and just a but of a mess so I brought in the professionals. I used this conditioner years ago and completely forgot about it until I saw it on special a few weeks back. I've been using it ever since and it really does make such a difference. My hair feels softer, less damaged and it smells gorgeous with the help of Aussie. I also use the shampoo but its the conditioner that really does the work.
2. Essence Eyeshadow #35 - I did a review of this little eye shadow a few weeks ago and I am in love with it! If you've read the review you will know how much I like this eyeshadow but I'll do a little recap just in case. The colour is amazing, it stays on for hours and did I mention it was only £1.60!
3. Ciate Paint Pot Nail Polish # 60 - I received this pretty little paint pot in my October Glossybox. It has been my staple nail colour for most of October and I don't really see myself taking it off anytime soon. It's such a vivid colour and don't get me started on how much I love the packaging. I've written a review for this nail polish that I will be putting up in the next few days so keep a lookout!
Well that was my October beauty favorites. I hope you enjoying reading through what I've been loving this month!
Do you have any favourite beauty products at the moment?

So In case you guys hadn't noticed, I'm loving cheap makeup products right now. Its that time of year when I'm saving for Christmas, everyone's birthday presents and mine and Seans anniversary, so moneys pretty tight. But luckily for me Wilkos has started selling Essence beauty products, all of which are under £5!
Okay so I know what you're thinking, a £2 lipstick, how good can it be? Well I'll tell you..
Let's start with the price as that's the main reason why I bought it. At just £2.60 it's a bargain and a half! Most of my lipsticks are £10+ which isn't too bad considering how long they last but if I could I would love to pay less.
At under £3 for a lipstick I wasn't expecting a lot and honestly it's not the most glamorous looking lipstick. The case is plain black and pretty basic but for the price I can't complain at all.
Now let's talk about the staying power. One reason why I usually spend a fair bit on lipstick is because I assume if I pay more they are going to be better quality and stay on for hours. I was so surprised at how long this lipstick stayed on. I wore it for the first time to go for a meal with Sean and I couldn't believe that hours after putting it on, and even after eating my food the colour was still quite vivid. I couldn't really be happier with how long is stays on.
One thing I will say though is that sometimes I apply a coat of Carmex on top of my lipsticks to make them super shiny and they don't last half as long as they would on their own.
Essence lipstick in shade #4 'On The Catwalk' RRP £2.60
Another good point is how easy is it so apply. It's not a sticky dry lipstick so it goes on really nicely and it's so easy to wipe off again if you make a mistake.
I really love this lipstick. This shade in particular is a gorgeous pinky red shade that is one of my favorites and I think really suits me.
I only have one problem with this lipstick and that is that at £2.60 I seem to have bought quite a few in lots of other shades!
Overall I love this product. I literally don't have anything bad to say about it. If you are looking for a decent cheap lipstick and you aren't too bothered about it looking fancy, this is the lipstick for you.
The Essence Lipstick in shade 'On The Catwalk' is a brilliant bargain buy and I would give it a 9/10
Have you tried any products from the Essence range before? What did you think?

I've been meaning to cancel my Glossybox subscription for the past few months but I really can't bare to get rid of it! It's like a little surprise present to myself each month and I just can't bring myself to cancel it just yet. So these monthly Glossybox posts are going to be around for a little while longer!
So here is what I received in this my October Glossybox...
1. Rimmel London BB Cream - I can't wait to try this little beauty out! I've been after a good BB cream for a while now and I've heard good things about this one. I've been using Rimmel foundation for a while now so I'm excited to try another version of it.
2. Yves Rocher France Quelques Notes D'amour - If you read my blog you will know I wasn't overly impressed with the last Yves Rocher product I received, but I'm still looking forward to trying out this perfume. I always love testing new perfumes and I especially love getting sample sizes that I can pop in my bag and take out with me.
3. So Susan Cosmetics Flutter Mascara - The didn't like the last mascara Glossy Box sent me but I'm hoping this one is a bit better. I have one mascara that I swear by and I've been wearing it since I was 16 so this product would really have to be amazing to impress me!
4. Etre Belle Cosmetics Liplift Peel - I cant even explain how happy I am to have this! I unfortunately suffer with dry/ peeling lips so I can't wait to give this a go.
5. Ciate London Paint Pot Nail Varnish - This is another product I was over the moon to receive. I've been wanting some Ciate nail polish for years and now I have one! I got a lovely turquoise shade (#60 Ditch the Heels) which I don't think I would have chosen myself but I still think its gorgeous. I cant wait to paint my nails with this and I'll post the results here!
6. Nuxe Creme Fraiche - I always love a good face cream and this one smells beautiful. I haven't tried it yet but I have high hopes for this product and I'll let you all know what I think.
I think this months box might actually be my favorite yet. I'm so excited to try everything and I will definitely be writing reviews for everything so keep a lookout!
What do you think of the August Glossybox?

Another month and another round up of beauty products! This months beauty favourites contains quite a few bits and bobs from the Glossyboxes I've been receiving over the last few months.
So here are the beauty items I've been loving throughout September...
1. Nivea 3 in 1 Micellar Cleansing Water - I received this little beauty in last months Glossybox and I love it. I'm a bugger for leaving makeup on before I go to bed and getting this product has deffo encouraged me to take it off before I go to sleep. It takes my makeup off really easily and smells great too. It claims to cleanse, remove makeup and moisturize. Although I haven't noticed any difference in my dry skin it definitely does the first two.
2. Teeez Trend Cosmetics Flat Eyeshadow Brush - This is another Glossybox Product I use daily. When I first got this little brush I wasn't that impressed, it was really stiff and I just didn't like it. But since then my fave eye shadow brush died and I had to use this until I could purchase a new one. After using it a few times I realized how good it actually was and never went out to buy a new brush. Its a lot thicker than my other brushes which is why I love it and its softened up a bit since I first got it too.
3. Baylis & Harding Strawberries and cream hand lotion - This hand cream came in a gift set I bought in the sale after valentine's day this year. Its took me quite a while to get around to using it and now its almost gone. I love this cream so much. it smells amazing and it doesn't upset my eczema even though its very heavily scented.
4. L'Oreal Mythic Oil - Another Glossybox product surprise surprise. This also came in the September Glossybox and it is amazing. I used it virtually straight away and I couldn't have been happier. It smells so gorgeous and it's not greasy. It makes my hair look healthy and shiny without making it look like it hasn't been washed in a week, like some other oils.
I hope you enjoying reading through my September beauty Favorites!
