Christmas beauty must-haves for under £15

We all like stacking up beauty products for a female friends, or even males, but we all also know that it can be rather expensive and if you're like me then you're always looking out for the best deals out there!

Well, you don't need to look any further. I've done my research and found fabulous beauty products for everyone we can all afford!


1. Coconut shimmer body butter, £13

One of my personal favs, this body butter is one of "The body shop"'s best seller, rated 5 out of 5 stars - definitely a big hitter to all you coconut lovers.

2. Refining skin polish, £15

Again, a personal favourite by ESPA. if you tend to have areas of dry skin, this helps an awful lot by moisturising it, it also gives that extra glow!

3. Nip + fab spiced apple beauty gift set, £10.79

This delicious scented winter set not only comes in spiced apple, but 2 other scents! Sugared Almond and Winter cherry. Something for everyone, lovely. 

4. Wake me up instant radiance, £4.99

Do you wake up and feel a little...meh? or know somebody who does? This product can give anyone a healthy, radiant looking glow with lasting colour. A great buy for a fantastic price.

5. Skin primer matte it, £12

Now, 'normal' and 'oily skin' can be a pain (trust me, I know!) but this matte primer could be your life saver. It helps make-up stay, smooths your skin and gets rid of unwanted shine. Brilliant!

I hope this helps with some people's dilemma. I've been asked to do something like this and now I have! Comments and feedback are highly appreciated, thanks for reading!

Autumn/Winter nails trends 2013.

Autumn is here and in full swing, it's time for your nails to spruce up a bit. Are they looking a bit bare, boring and basic? Here you can discover many colours perfect for this weather. Time to leave the bright neons and introduce your nails with a new season shade!


Colours:

Very berry:Berry shades are big for lips-and now tips! Dark berry nails where seen at Burberry and Dsquared2 catwalk shows earlier this year, try out this very berry trend yourself with China glaze Merry Berry nail polish (£3.99) or treat yourself to Esteelauder Black plum (£14.99)

Retro Red:
A return to the classical nail shade red. Very ladylike luxury when matched to your lippy and outfit-yes match and match are back in! Red nails where seen at MTV EMA's by Katy Perry, choosing a lady-like outfit to match with her nails looking very classy. Treat yourself to celebrity inspired nail varnish by Sally Hansen perfectly poppy (£6.99) or Gosh OMG classic red 2 (£3.49)

Beautiful in black:
Dark, misty shades are perfect this autumn for the dark nights. Black was repeatedly seen at the catwalk this season but it's easy enough to get on the high-street!
Try out another Sally Hansen product- Polish Midnight in NY (£6.99) or grab a bargain  Barry M paint black 47 (£2.99)          

Shapes:

The "Stiletto":This shape is very vampire-ish, it's definitely one to try out this autumn. Lana del rey pulls this look off very well, along with Lady gaga and Beyonce!
 

Personally, the stiletto look with the very berry shade is my all time favourite. I just need to wait for my nails to grow without then snapping...this could take awhile.
Or, you could always go to the salon and get them done on your own nails or get fake ones. There's always a way!

Jennifer Lawrence: Top 5 best looks.

Now, a lot of us think of Hunger games when it comes to Jennifer Lawrence. She may play the role of Katniss who wears a side loose braid and combat clothing but when it comes to special events, Jennifer knows how to clean up!

There you have it! My favourite looks by Jennifer Lawrence. Now I haven't actually put them into order because it's just simply too hard. I mean, look at how ravishing she looks in all of them!
 I hope you enjoyed this post, I haven't actually been able to do any OOTD's because lately I've been a slob so I'll put effort it one day for you all.

Time for tartan!

So it’s the time of autumn and along with it comes some marvellous fashion trends. From both high street to catwalk, tartan is making it’s mark this year.

Many celebrities have already been showing this iconic Scottish print off and now it’s been brought over to the high streets for our time to shine. It hasn't really been much of a hit in the past but this year it’s taking a turn of event and is making a huge impact.

Personally, I really enjoy this look and always have but it hasn't been very easy to get a variety of designs that I like. Now, I can go into any shop and catch a glimpse of anything tartan from dresses to shorts.

Earlier last month, a friend and I went out shooting some shots purely for fun-involving tartan evidently. I'm actually rather proud of the outcome considering I don’t have the best experience in photography.


Shout-out to my friend Georgia in the shots and the delightful views of the place I call home, Hindley.
