FASHION: DEBUT AT DEBENHAMS AMARA DRESS AND CHERRY DIVA NECKLACE



 DRESS: DEBUT AT DEBENHAMS *// BAG :PRETTY LAVISH* // FAUX FUR: ASOS
NECKLACE: CHERRY DIVA* // SHOES: PRIMARK 

I went to a wedding on monday as you may have seen if you follow me on instagram. Two of my best friends were getting married, it was an absolutely gorgeous day. The whole day was perfect! I wore this Navy off the shoulder dress by Debut at Debenhams, I think winter weddings are hard and really wasn't sure what to wear. I tried this dress on and seriously couldn't believe how perfect the fit was. I'm quite short but the dress came just over the knee and was really nice and fitted all my curves. The material is quite stretchy meaning I didn't struggle with my boobs or hips. This dress fits me like a glove, it was so comfortable and I just knew it would be a perfect day to night wedding guest outfit. I paired it with this Fur shawl from Asos which I borrowed from a friend. I love this grey suede bag from Pretty Lavish and managed to get some really nice grey suede effect sandals from Primark. I think the floral necklace from Cherry Diva pulls the outfit together, it's the perfect length and size and sits perfectly with the sweetheart neckline of the dress.  


I had the most perfect day at the wedding, it was amazing! I felt comfortable all day in my outfit and got so many compliments. The dress is really versatile and I will be able to wear it for more occasions.

My latest charity shop find


 Urban Decay Naked Palette RRP- £36 



I picked this up in my local charity shop for £8 thats right ! Thats a massive saving of £28 !

I'm not going to go on and on because I will be reviewing the palette in more depth when I have used it more. The palette contains 12 amazing neutrals! Its the perfect kit to create bronze looks and smokey eyes. I love it already!

Like I said I got this in my local charity shop- It was unused and in the original packaging and still had the Debenhams label on it. The only thing wrong with it was the Karma brush was missing but I probably would have used it anyway.

I love going into charity shops and would really recommend having a look next time your out and about because theres bargains to be found and your doing your little bit for charity at the same time!

Urban Decay Naked Basics


This is my 400th Post !! 










The Urban Decay Palettes are something that I look at every single time i'm in debenhams but I rarely use eyeshadow so the Naked palettes are just too expensive so when I spotted this New Basics palette on buyapowa.com I was so excited! It was £14.50 with £2 (p+p) it normally retails at £20 so I was happy I saved abit of money.

Overall the palette is abit on the small side which I don't mind because its a nice size to fit into your make up bag. The packaging is a matte material and inside you have a lovely very decent size mirror

6 everyday shades to create a range of different looks! I've been using venus in the corner and as a highlighter and then naked 2 and faint to create a smokey/ natural look.

The palette contains mattes and satins and 4 exclusive shades. It's a lovely little palette with 6 full size Urban Decay shades.


I'm really glad I bought this palette because the pigmentation is really good but I still think £20 for eyeshadow palette is abit much for me because I've only recently started wearing eyeshadow but because I got a discount £14 isn't that bad -  I think Urban Decay should make more palettes like this with less shadows so that people like me who can't justify £38 for eyeshadow but would like to use the palettes like this.


My recent Skincare





Origins Spot Remover - Buy here £13 
Premae Balance Rescue Face Tonique - £17. 50 *
Effaclar Duo - Boots £13

Heres a few bits that I've been trying out this week. I'll be reviewing the Origins spot remover and effaclar Duo in a few weeks after using them properly and you can read my Premae skincare review here . I've currently broke out in spots on my chin and decided that I might need to invest in some skincare specific to my combination skin type so these are the three products i've been using.

I can't wait to try them out properly and let you know how I get on. I'm also interested in trying some REN skincare so let me know what products you think I should try out. 

I want to test these products over a few weeks so I can see if they make any difference to my skin : )
