A New Obsession | Checkered Shirt


A little while ago I did a post exactly like this but about my obsession with copper it was a post I really liked writing and got a lot of positive feedback from so I have decided to make this a series. I will not be doing it every week because I want these posts to be about something I really have been loving and not force myself to love something new every week.


Very recently I went into Newlook to return something and ended up coming out with something else, this was a black, red and white checkered shirt. I had wanted a checkered shirt for a while because of the fast approaching Autumn months. I can now say it is probably my favourite piece of clothing I own, this particular shirt is so comfy, soft and is really loose (I sometimes find shirts can be stiff but this one isn't). I also love the way it looks great with anything, black, blue, white trousers you name it, it looks amazing.


It is also very versatile and as I have found out it can look really nice either for casual wear or for a party/night out. I hope you enjoyed this post, if you wanted the link for the shirt you can find that here. I definitely will be getting more Autumn/Winter clothes very soon so there may be a few more of these posts coming your way!

Autumn Makeup Routine








In Autumn it's all about the dark lips and golden eyes but I usually feel like I can't pull that off so I have gone for a more toned down look this Autumn but I am still very much in love with it! I feel like you can do a lot with this look and I hope you get some inspiration from my makeup routine.


Baby Skin Primer - Maybelline
I love this primer and have been using it a lot recently to guarantee my makeup will stay on all day, it makes my pores a lot less visible and it makes my skin feel so soft! I don't think primer is necessary to wear but if you are looking for a primer this one is amazing.


True Match Foundation - L'Oreal 
It has taken me a while to try using foundation as I always thought it would feel to heavy on my face and I wouldn't like it but over the summer I tried a foundation and really liked it so I decided to get another which was the L'Oreal True Match because I had heard so much about it and I wanted to give it a try. This foundation is amazing it is so easy to blend and I can barely feel it on my skin also it gives a good coverage without needing to use a lot. Overall this foundation is a definite must have for anyone who doesn't want a heavy foundation.


Wake Me Up Concealer - Rimmel
This concealer has been my all time favourite for a few months now, I can't fail it, it covers any blemishes and dark circles I have so easily and lasts all day.


Bronzer And Highlighter - Estee Lauder
As you can see by the picture I use this product a lot and have hit the bottom, I usually use the middle shade and the last shade to contour and the first two shades to highlight. They are such lovely shades and are a perfect suit to my skin.


Dallas Blush - Benefit
I like to use this preferably in the Autumn and Winter months because it is a dusty pink/red colour and I find it perfect for this time of the year because it gives your cheeks a dark flushed colour which looks amazing with dark lips.


Naked 3 Palette - Urban Decay
In this palette I use the colour 'Darkside' to fill in my eyebrows because I find it is the perfect colour to match my eyebrows and I haven't found anything else that matches just as well as this.


Transparent Brow Drama - Maybelline
This is a recent discovery for me and I now use this every day, I don't know what I did without it! Just by using a little bit it keeps my eyebrows in shape all day and it is so easy to apply thanks to Maybellines mascara type brush.


Lash Sensational Mascara - Maybelline
I am sure any of you who are reading this have heard of or have this mascara, it is perfect, it lengthens and thickens your eyelashes so easily and honestly in my opinion is the best drugstore mascara there is.


Twig Satin Lipstick - Mac
I haven't really got a true dark lipstick for Autumn although I am desperate to get one but for now I have been using this lipstick which is almost there. It is a dark pink/red and finishes almost matte, I find if I put it on quite generously it creates a gorgeous dark burgundy shade. I definitely recommend this lipstick for anyone who wants a lipstick that's not to dark but can pass off as an Autumn shade.


I hope you enjoyed this post, I just wanted to say that over the past three weeks I feel like I have slightly neglected my blog, I have let the quality of my posts and pictures slip and it's been really getting to me. So this week I started using a new camera to get me more motivated to take pictures for posts and write the posts in preparation and I think I can say it worked! I feel very pleased with this post and hopefully you will be getting better quality posts from now on.

What is your favourite makeup product this Autumn?




Autumn Nails




Its finally Autumn! Time to bring out all shades of red, purple, grey and more, in Autumn I tend to turn to darker nail polishes and more neutral nail polishes, I haven't collected as many Autumn coloured nail polishes this year which is why my collection for this post is a bit scarce but the ones I have I use all the time. This is also a collab with the lovely Hannah from Hannah Rose so make sure to check out her version of this post.


Barry M Nail Paint - Matt White
This isn't really a typical Autumn colour but I actually love to wear a white colour during Autumn and Halloween because I feel like it goes with anything I am wearing and looks amazing at the same time!


Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint - Chilli
I actually bought this nail polish last year from Barry M's Autumn range and I am still loving it! This really is the perfect shade for Autumn being a dark red it looks so nice, I also recommend this Barry M colour for its quality, it has such a strong colour and it lasts for ages.


Barry M Textured Nail Effect - Duchess
The picture really doesn't do this colour justice at all, I love this colour because it is like a rose gold/light brown colour which is beautiful and it also has a sparkle/textured effect to it which makes your nails just that bit more interesting, overall this is just a lovely nail polish.


So that's all my favourite Autumn nail polishes, I am sorry for the delay on this post, a lot of things came up and I ended up forgetting to post. I am also sorry about the picture quality, my camera has broke so I haven't been able to use it (crying face) so for the picture I used my phone which hasn't got the greatest camera. Another thing is I recently hit 6000 views!! That's so crazy, so thank you to everyone of you who have read my blog posts or even just had a look, it honestly means the world to see all the comments you leave me and see more people looking at my blog!
