shirt - vintage, jeans - Topshop, necklace - Select, flats - Primark, belt - H&M

Sorry guys, today is going to be a really quick one as I have a deadline this evening ahhh! This shirt is a vintage one that I bought ages ago, not sure why I hadn't shown you guys yet. But anyway I love vintage checked shirts, I think they are so much better than the ones you buy on the high street!

Hope you're are having a great week:)

I recently went into Boots determined to find something so I could get the 3 for 2 offer! I didn't need a new foundation at all but I thought you can never have too many foundations:) So I picked up this one by Maybelline, part of the FITme! range. The aim of the range is to produce products that fit with your skin in order to create a flawless, yet natural base. And I have to say after a few weeks of using this, I am hooked.

The formula has a gel-like consistency and is very light, you can barely feel it on your face which is a strange yet lovely feeling because your skin still looks great! The coverage is medium I would say, its certainly got more than enough coverage for day to day and an evening look at the same time. And the best thing about this foundation is that it looks completely natural, it blends in really well (I use the RT Buffing Brush) and doesn't sit on the face. The finish is not matte but not too dewy at the same time, I thought that with my oily skin it would just make my face look shiny but with a little powder it lasts throughout the day. At the same time I think this foundation would also be good for dry skin because the formula is so light and certainly not drying on the face! Another great thing about this is it has SPF 18, and it doesn't seem to cause flashback either, and the colour range is pretty impressive for a drugstore brand, what more could you want. 

The packaging is really really nice for for a drugstore foundation, it comes in a glass bottle which feels really luxurious in your hands! Plus I may be completely off the mark in saying this but I think this may be a dupe for the famous Nars Sheer Glow foundation, I've only tested Nars Sheer Glow but in my opinion they are very very similar, even the packaging is almost identical!

I love this foundation and I think its a great little gem that will carry me through the Winter months!

For once I am on time with my monthly favourites and wow, doesn't time fly by!! Its flipping less than two months to Christmas and I am so excited, Christmas and the build up is my favourite time of year, I just can't wait:D Anyway onto another monthly favourites, with a couple of reappearances from last time and a few newbies!

Maybelline FIT Me Foundation

This is a foundation that I picked up on a whim while in Boots a few weeks ago, its was 3 for 2 and I fancied trying a new foundation. This is a really nice transition foundation from Summer to Winter, its light on the skin while still giving plenty of coverage; it also has a bit of a sheer finish and really brightens the skin. A full review will follow soon but I can see myself definitely using this throughout Winter.

Real Techniques Buffing Brush

Does this brush really need an explanation? After a few months on using the Expert Face brush I have now been converted back to the Buffing brush, a beautiful brush giving a flawless finish!

Rimmel ScandalEyes Waterproof Kohl in Taupe & Bronze

I spoke about these last month and did a review on them (found here), I just think these are amazing. I wear both of these colours as a base, the Taupe is perfect day to day with a neutral shadow over the top, and the Bronze is my newest addition but its perfect as either a liner or as a base with a smoky shadow over the top for the night. Stay put all day, seriously if you want a base that doesn't budge then these are it!

17 Eyeshadow Trio in 'In The Nude'

This is mainly the shadow trio over the top of the Kohl liner virtually everyday! My favourites are the brown and the grey but the cream colour is perfect for highlighting the brow bone. Basically a good mixture of neutrals which are perfect for the day.

MUA Bronzer in 'Shade 3'

This bronzer is the perfect healthy glow shade and has really added colour to my complexion during these past cold weeks. Not of the best quality but pretty damn good for its price tag of £1 and it does the job pretty well.

Models Own Nail Polish in 'Pray'

I love this nail polish, one of the ones I bought with the 50% off code and it is a firm favourite. A dark taupe colour that has hints of browns and greys, perfect for Autumn/Winter.

Eucerin Even Brighter Night Cream

Now this is a strange one and I wasn't sure whether to include it. I signed up to a Cosmopolitan Product Trial where you occasionally get sent products to try for a brand before it is released in the UK. So I got sent this night cream the other week and I absolutely love it, Eucerin wasn't a brand I'd heard of before but the night cream is a lovely thick cream that doesn't leave any residue on my skin unlike most night creams. It soaks in and leaves my skin soft and smooth and definitely brighter! Although this isn't on sale in the UK yet you can get Eucerin products from Boots.com and I'd definitely recommend a look!

Sorry I've been so absent ah! After dropping my iPhone in the toilet the other day I then went home for a long weekend only to find the internet wasn't working!! So basically I've had no phone and no internet for the week which has been really irritating, I use my phone for literally everything; even just for telling the time! Anyway I put my iPhone in dry rice for a few days in the hope it would start working again and guess what... IT DID!! I'm so happy I never thought that would work in a million years, iPhones are notorious for breaking at the first sign of water so I was overjoyed! Ecstatic that I don't have to fork out for a new one aha.

This is one of the Models Own nail varnishes I bought, and its like a very dark purple, infact its probably not as dark as the picture suggests (sorry, bad lighting!), but it is definitely a purple! Not one of my favourites I have to say, but thats probably because I found it so hard to wear, it just doesn't seem to go with anything I own aha, sad I know:P. Anyway if you love purple you'll love this!

Sorry guys this is going to be a super quick post today, so swamped with work at the moment!

I recently made an order with Models Own because of the 50% off offer, so I couldn't resist getting 5 new nail polishes; the other colours I got were Concrete Mixer x2, Beccas Brown and Purple Grey! However this is by far my favourite so far, it just looks so good on and literally goes with anything.

The colour is a lovely warm toned grey/brown and the picture pretty much shows what its exactly like, definitely recommended:)
