OUTFIT POST: Winter Daisy || Great Plains

Dress: Great Plains* // Coat: Tesco // Necklace: River Island









 I loveeee this dress from Great Plains, they kindly gave me the opportunity to review a product on my blog.

This is a floral shift dress, it's a really lovely chiffon type material and it's just lovely. I instantly fell in love with the colours and the floral pattern and knew it would look amazing with some chunky boots and a gold chain.

I've tried this on with a fluffy cardigan to create a more casual look which worked really well. I'm actually so excited to wear this dress. I'm off to the dogs on Saturday night and think this is the perfect dress to wear with my new coat from Tesco.

The dress is £85 which I think is reasonable, i'd say the quality is similar to that of french connection and it's has a lovely expensive feel to it.

The arms come up abit small so if you have bigger arms I'd say you may need to try it on because it's a little tight on my arms but it fits really well everywhere else. I got a Medium and i'm normally a 12.
I like the length its above the knee and I think the shape of the dress is great for me because it hides all my lumps and bumps really well.

I'm loving this dress and I'm so excited to wear it on the weekend. Be sure to check out www.greatplains.co.uk they have some amazing bits and pieces !

REVIEW : SEVENTEEN PHWOARR PAINT

 Seventeen Phwoarr paint - £5.49 - Boots 

I picked up this concealer in boot's the other day! The products were on offer so it worked out well for me to pick an extra item up and i'd seen a few bloggers raving about this and wanted to see what it was like.

For £5.49 I think you get a decent amount of product. The formula is abit tacky and sticky but once it's on your skin that goes away.

I've been applying this to my under-eye and my chin (problem area) and feel that it covers really well. It works really well on my under-eye and lasts really well too! It doesn't last as great on my chin and I've noticed it coming off throughout the day however it states it's an under-eye concealer so I suppose it doesn't state it's an all over concealer.

I really like this concealer and will be repurchasing this. I've actually been using this everyday over my mac concealer.

REVIEW: SOAP AND GLORY SUGAR CRUSH BODY WASH

Soap and Glory Body wash - £6.50* - Soap and glory

I absolutely love Soap and Glory products especially the sugar crush range. Its the most amazing citrus scent and smells divine! I've been using this body wash for months and I finally used it all up and realised that I haven't blogged about it. It's one of my essentials.

It's £6.50 but the bottle is masssssive and you get loads of product. with the pump you only need to use a couple of pumps for the whole body. I like to use my sponge to apply this to my skin.
It leaves your skin feeling clean and soft and smelling of fruit! I really love the scent.

I will be repurchasing this as it's my faveee and I love soap and glory !  

REVIEW : Chantecaille Compact Make up


 Chantecaille compact make up - Powder Foundation - £48* Buy at space NK or Chantecaille (us only)


I have never used anything from Chantecaille before and decided to try this powder foundation,  I started getting bored of my liquid foundation and I used to use powder foundations all the time.

This Chantecaille foundation is a decent size and comes in this lovely big compact with a good mirror. The colour was good for my skin tone and I liked the product. I however couldn't wear it alone as a foundation. The coverage wasn't great and I didn't feel like I had any make up on at all.
It didn't really cover my problem areas very well or blemishes. It is a very light coverage. So I used it up as a powder. I applied it with my powder brush and it seemed to work nicer with my normal liquid foundation.

It was like the powder needed something to hold on to. I really liked this powder as a setting powder but not as a foundation. I liked the finish it left and my face didn't get shiny for most of the day but it's £50 I couldn't spend on a powder.

I would recommend this to people who want a really light coverage, who just need that layer but don't have spots or blemishes that the make up needs to cover.

So I go back to university in a week and i'm going to be in my third year which means i'm going to have loads of work to do. I'm excited about finishing my degree although I then want to do a PGCE to become a teacher so I will still be in education. I am going to try and balance my blog aswell but recently I have been finding it difficult to blog. I am trying to get back into blogging after the summer and want to try and have set blogging days in the week, When I get my uni timetable it will be clearer for me and I will be able to schedule days for blogging but until then please just bear with me whilst I try and sort everything out. 

REVIEW; Loreal New Skin Perfectiong Cleansing and Perfecting Milk

Loreal Skin perfecting cleansing and perfecting milk - £4.49 - Boots

I'm loving cleansing milk's so when I spotted this one from Loreal I just had to buy it. I've tried the Loreal Micellar water and was very impressed and I'm loving the cleansing milk too.

It's only £4.49 for this bottle which considering higher end brands do very similar products like 5x times this price. I think this product is very gentle and leaves my skin feeling very soft and clean. It removes even the most stubborn eye make up and it leaves my skin feeling really soft and not greasy at all.

I love this product and will be repurchasing.
