Fluffy Jumper - outfit post.

Last weekend we took a trip down to the Mumbles in Swansea. The weather was perfect so we walked all down the harbour, got an amazing ice cream (mine was black cherry and vanilla) and then found a little rocky beach to explore.

This is the outfit I wore:

In Autumn/Winter I basically live in a skirt and jumper and I recently picked up a black fluffy jumper from Primark for £10. I'd seen them in Topshop about 20 minutes previously for £45 (or £35 for a cropped one) and couldn't really say no to the bargain. I know the quality won't be as good and also Topshop did have some amazing colours but i couldn't justify the price-tag for such a similar item! I really hope Primark do some more fun colours like this mint fluffy jumper or this multi coloured fluffy jumper.

Fluffy Jumper - Primark
Dress - Topshop
Boots - River Island
Hair-Bow - Primark

It's so soft and fluffy!

One of my favourite beach things to do - collect awesome rocks and pebbles then arrange them.

Are you feeling the fluffy jumper this season?

BLEACH London - Awkward Peach Hair Dye review.

These hair-dyes have been splashed ALL over Instagram (see the full range here) and are available at Boots as of 8/10/13 (although my Boots had them in today).

My Boots didn't have the full range (I super wanted to try Sea Punk or Blulini) but they did have Awkward Peach! They are £5 a bottle and the bottled covered my whole head extremely well so well worth the money seeing as Crazy Colour is £4 and only covered half my head.

It looks a bit more or a neon pink/orange in person but I have no doubt after another wash it will go proper peachy.

I also bought Parma Voilets which is a lilac colour which I will probably try just before my mums wedding as the lilac will go super well with my dress.

These dyes are probably the best coloured dyes I've used application and colour wise and I've been dying my hair different colours for about 4 years (I just wanted to be Lady Gaga) - I hope the rest don't disappoint!

Nars Make-Over.

Hello!

As part of me being the beauty and lifestyle blogger for St.Davids Cardiff I got to take a trip down to the John LewisBeauty Hall to talk to make-up artist Clayton all about NARS and of course grab a make-over while I was at it! 

We started with skincare - there is a massive world of skincare out there that literally did wonders for me before we had even began. The previous night was a late one for me so I desperately needed something to disguise the bags under my eyes and awaken my skin. We used Multi-Action Hydrating Toner with Optimal Brightening Concentrate to refresh my skin followed by Total Replenishment Eye-Cream to fully wake-up my tired eyes. I felt amazing and like I could re-start my day all over again! 

Next came the make-up. I'm very pale for after using a Pore Refining Primer, to make the foundation stay on longer and make it look alot smoother, I got a chance to use the new Cream Compact foundation in Siberia which comes in its own little compact including a sponge and mirror. The foundation is 12g which is alot more than most cream foundations give out and the best part is - it's refillable which means saving you money in the long-run. 

I couldn't go to NARS without using THE mother of all make-up products, the best selling blush in the world - Orgasm. 

On my eyes we used the gorgeous Goddess and Kuala Lumpur Duo and then my favourite product, that I just couldn't resist leaving without - the Carpates Eye-Liner Stylo. I've never used what is essentially a pen to apply my eye-liner befoe but I can tell you now I am never going back! It's so easy and once it's on and dried - it aint coming off!

The look was finished off with the newest lip colour from the NARS Fall collection - La Paz. A subtle plum colour that didn't clash with my pink hair!

I had so much fun! Nobody has ever really done my make-up before so it felt awesome being a bit pampered and not have to do it myself - can totally get why the rich and famous spalsh out on make-up artists!

This will be my last post this week as I'm off down to Devon for my Mums hen weekend at a fancy spa! Exciting!

Take care,

Ghosts and Black Cats - outfit post.

In the spirit of the 1st of October and Halloweens approach - I decided to crack out the Halloween themed outfit post early:

Ghost Jumper - Primark
Dress - H&M
Cat Tights - c/o Fashion Union
Vans - I've had for 6 years.

I love Ghosts and I love cats so this is perfect, it's just a cheeky little Halloween themed goofy outfit :)

Me and Ross were messing about with the camera settings and realised the long exposure in the night-time made it look all firey and ghosty. It was so fun!

I'm super excited for October it's truly a great month!

September Round-Up

Autumn is in full swing now and I love it!

Here is a roundup of my September and what's to come in October: 

My boss-eyed buddy has been sitting in the bath with me again. I love his little face so much!

I love this ugly fish transfer tattoo (I almost wish he was real) which I was sent along with a few other cool designs from Fickle Tattoos.

A few new home additions.
The butterfly/moth ceramic coasters (I mentioned them here) from my Auntie, A cactus letter holder from my Mumma and a cute little trinket box c/o Casey English.

I re-did my pink and purple hair.

I was asked if I had any festive baking tips for Rodda's to feature on their packaging leading upto Christmas. I gave them a tip and they decided to use it! I got this amazing package as a thankyou and my tip is in-stores now! I really hope I find it on the shelves!
The pack included clotted cream and Cornish butter but obviously they went right to the fridge.

I got a pin-board for a bargainous £3 in WHSmiths. I added some mermaid looking sequins and some cute patterned fabric as a border to jolly it up a bit.  

October is right here and it is my faveourite month! I will be decorating the house in a Halloween theme and also have lots of Halloween DIY's and outfit posts at the ready!

Hope September has been awesome for you!
