jumper - New Look, dress - Asos, vans - Schuh, tights - Debenhams, jewellery - Topshop

I've been so busy with work lately, since I was ill that week I'm now pretty behind aaah!! Anyway this has been my uniform for the last week, comfy jumper and comfy vans! So I apologise if its not very interesting, much more coming very soon, so don't lose hope just yet aha! I was thinking of doing some Christmas wishlists, I know everyone is doing gift guides at the moment but I thought it's be quite nice to tell you guys whats on my Christmas list this year; let me know what you think:)?

Now when cream blushers hit the beauty world I have to admit I was very very skeptical, my skin is oily and so adding anything to make it dewy would just turn my face into oil central! However I felt like trying one and so I went for this cheap one from MUA, part of their new collection.

At first look to me it didn't look like anything special, in fact if I'm honest it felt exactly like lip balm. This made applying it to my face extremely weird. I felt like I had lip balm on my face; however this did settle into a slightly dewy finish, but it still felt slightly weird! The colour didn't last as long as a normal powder blush (comparing it to an MUA powder blush) however it didn't turn my face into oil central, thank goodness.

Overall I wasn't particularly a fan of this, I don't think it was the product but instead just the concept of a cream blusher. I would like to try a mousse like blush as I think I would prefer the texture on my face a lot more.

I would give this a try if you fancy it, as for £2.50, it doesn't matter if you don't like it. Its just not for me:(

I know, I know, I said I'd be back to normal and 5 days later I still haven't got back to normal aha! I am feeling much better after a rather nasty throat infection, hello antibiotics for the next 10 days:(! However I am now behind on loads of work and still haven't really caught up with it all yet, plus getting used to uni life after a week at home takes longer than I thought it would aha.

Anyway onto Autumn nail polishes. I love Autumn and especially the colours that surround Autumn and are associated with it. Now I do actually wear so called "Autumn" nail polishes all year round but I just thought I'd show you some of my favourites (sorry that there are three models own ones, oops!)

[from left to right]

Models Own 'Pray'

This Models Own one probably has to be my all-time favourite nail polish colour, its sort of a browny dark grey, with some purpley tones in it. Goes with absolutely anything, and it is definitely my go to nail polish!

Models Own 'Concrete Mixer'

This is a fairly new addition to my collection but it is one I have lusted over for ages. Its a nude grey that has a greeny tone to it, think of a grey sage colour and you've got Concrete Mixer. Now this doesn't go with absolutely anything like I thought it would, its definitely a cooler toned colour and tends to go with greys and blues rather than browns. Still a firm favourite and something a little bit different to your average grey.

Topshop 'Ruthless'

This nail polish has been in my collection for absolutely ages (not the same one, I have repurchased it a lot!!), its gorgeous, a very very dark burgundy pink! A really lovely shade, that I'm hoping Topshop won't ever get rid of and perfect for Autumn.

Models Own 'Beccas Brown'

This is another new addition to my collection and one I bought on a whim, not really thinking it was going to turn into much. However it is such a wearable shade; its a chocolatey brown with tones of grey running through it, quite muted but still lovely at the same time. I wear this so much without even thinking about it and it definitely looks good with just about anything! (I know it looks similar to Pray but its honestly not!)

Revlon 'Enthrall'

This colour is my newest addition and I love it!! I've been feeling Christmassy since the beginning of November and never having been a Christmassy person before I all of a sudden fancied some sparkle in my life! So I went on the look out for a grungey dark gold and I've definitely found it in this nail polish; its a stunning very dark bronze with gold shimmer running through it, quite subtle and perfect for those who want to feel a bit Christmassy without going all out on the sparkle and glitter. I will definitely be wearing this throughout the Christmas holidays!

I've been after this Models Own nail polish for agess, I couldn't find it in any of the stores, so I took full advantage of the 50% off offer a few weeks ago and purchased two of these. And I absolutely love the colour. Its a really stunning neutral grey with a bit of a greeny tinge to it. A little bit different to your normal nude colour and seems to go with absolutely everything!

As always Models Own formulas are great with a relatively big sized bottle too!

Whats your favourite Models Own nail polish?

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!
