The New Beauty Additions

This month like many others I've done a little splurging on beauty products and have a few new additions to welcome into the crowd. From some new spring cheek products to a heavy duty SPF and even a perfume I vowed never to purchase, here's what's made it into my shopping basket.

The New Healthy Mix

I'm pretty sure I could count on less than one hand the amount of lower end 'drugstore' foundations that I actually get along with. I'm no snob when it comes to make up but premium brands are always the ones I turn to with confidence for a flawless base.

This Week #44

01. Costa and Doughnuts for Breakfast | 02. If it were bookshops vs. beauty halls I'm pretty sure books would win every time | 03. A mini BB Surf Spray, adorable! | 04. Some seriously holographic heels in Next | 05. Daisy Cupcakes from

The Spring Edit: Nails

After nearly a week of consecutive sun (touch wood) I think we can safely say Spring has arrived! The beauty wardrobe deserves a seasonal revamp and the first port of call for me is always nails. Ten little fragments of colour that give noting but hope for warmer weather. The big dilemma however is pastels or brights? I've picked five of my favourites in each category that will definitely be adorning my nails over the coming weeks.

The Lip Crayon Roundup

The Lip Crayon seems to be the height of popularity at the moment with brands bringing them out left right and center. From the glossy to the matte, well pigmented to sheer formulas there seems to be one to suit every preference and in the absolute sea of these lip products I've picked out three of my favourites.

Dress: American Apparel
Coat: New Look
Faux Fur Stole: Asos
Bag: eBay
Necklace: H&M;
Boots: Topshop

Seriously hate wearing my hair up but its so blurgh at the moment I just don't know what to do with it. I think I need a new colour more than anything. Seriously debating going down the Ombre route again but I keep getting the fear. I even bought these two bad boys for no particular reason and they're now staring at me from across the room wanting to be used.

Shallow hair dramz aside, this dress isn't really my usual style but it was a mere £7.50 in the Asos sale so I couldn't say no. I love the slit at the side. Makes me feel a little bit Angelina Jolie.

I've had a lot of questions about this bag from it flashing up in various instagram pictures. It's literally just a random one off eBay but for the price I paid I think its pretty good quality that'll do until I can get my hands on the real thing. Here's a link to the seller if you're interested.

This is actually the first time I've worn a big winter coat this year too. Real milestone right there. This New Look one is from last year but I still love it. Who can say no to a bit of tweed? I'll still probably have to buy myself another one this year and at the moment this Topshop one has caught my eye.

River Island Loafers / Topshop Aztec Knit Jumper / Topshop Coral Lace Shirt

Managed to have a bit of a floordrobe wardrobe clear out this week, not that I can ever say goodbye to clothes no matter how little I wear them. Ended up keeping some ridiculous things, from dresses I'm convinced I've had since before college that still have the labels on to hundreds of old jeans that I keep meaning to turn into shorts. Hoarder for life. Somehow though, a few bits have ended up packed and on eBay. If anyone wants to check them out, have a look here!
