The 'Do I Look Like Kylie Yet?' Drugstore Duo

Hello loves!

The other day I was having a fumble around boots, and discovered this fabulous duo in the aisles. I've been looking for my dream 'browny nude' for a while now, and didn't want to spend much on the trend, so I am over the moon that I have found this pair & thought you might want to know my findings too!

And drum roll please.......................

It is the Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip Liner in Tiriamisu & the Seventeen Stay Pout Lipstick in Just A Fling which create the perfect Kylie combo! The middle ground between brown and pink, a lovely velvety finish and not a speck of glitter or shine in sight. 

The best part about this duo is the fact that together they cost under £7.50! That's half of what you would pay for a single MAC lipstick, which I think is crazy considering how great these products are.

Do you have any drugstore lips product recommendations for me?

Lots of love,

Hayley

My Halloween Make Up Look!

Good Morning! I hope you're all having a lovely weekend so far. 

Yesterday I posted a video on my youtube channel about my halloween costume! Now, normally I don't do halloween, at all, but it was one of my good friends birthday party/halloween party so I decided to put in some effort! 

I went as a porcelain doll (cracked for a creepy effect!) and I had a great time doing it. I may be swayed by this whole dressing up thing! 

There is a list of all the products I used in the description of the video!

Check it out if you'd like you see how I did it!

What did you do for halloween? I'd love to see your costume!

Lots of love,

Hayley

My First My Little Box!

Today the postman brought me a little treat and I thought I would share it with you, because it is just plain charming! I received my first beauty box from the company My Little Paris. The subscription service is called My Little Box, which I think is just so cute! If you have never heard of this company before then you should definitely check them out here.

This months box was a special edition, created in collaboration with the designer Diane Von Furstenburg, and I absolutely adore it. Inside I received a scarf in one of the specially chosen DVF prints (which is truly stunning!), a lip-shaped brooch (the lips are the brands logo), a very cute illustration of the lady herself, the magazine which I can't wait to read through and 3 beauty products. 

The first beauty products I received in the box the Kerastase K Laque Noire. It is described as an 'anti-humidity super shield fixing hairspray' with extra strong hold. I'm going out for a friends birthday this coming weekend and shall give this its first trial then! I'll report back. 

The next one is a L'Occitane Hand Cream in the scent Vanilla Bouquet. L'Occitane hand creams are some of the best, thick and nourishing but don't linger on your paws for too long. This is a super handy travel size sample, so it will be a perfect addition to my handbag. The smell is lovely, you wouldn't think vanilla and flowers would be a pleasant combination of scents but it truly is one of those 'sniffing your hands all day' kind of smells.

I also received the My Little Beauty Micellar Cleansing Water, which is from the companies own beauty brand. I am excited to give this a try as a use micellar waters quite often. Also, how cute is the packaging! It kind of smells like green tea too, and you know how I feel about tea!

All in all I am chuffed with this box, and cannot wait for next month to roll around so I can get another!

Are you subscribed to any beauty subscription boxes? Let me know!

Lots of love,

Hayley

Beauty Wishlist #1

 In the months leading up to Christmas (and my birthday!), I often find lusting after a bunch of products that I would love to have in my stash. So today I thought I would share a few with you, because it's fun to dream, right?

1. Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage, £26.50. 

I blame Lisa Eldridge entirely for this one! This is a small concealer palette, with two shades of a thick creamy concealer which you can personally mix and match to suit every area of your face. It's ingenious! And from what i've seen, it's pretty long lasting too, just set with a translucent powder after application and you're good to go all day. Perfect to use on those pesky spots and areas of discolouration. 

2. Nars Audacious Lipstick in the shade Grace, £24.00.

This is just a gorgeous shade, and the packaging is to die for! I haven't tried a lipstick from Nars before and I think this would be a nice place to start.

3. Anastasia Beverly Hills Pro Series Brow Palette, £90.00.

Serious heart-eyed emoji on this one! If you didn't already know, I am currently training to become a professional Make Up Artist and this just ticks every box for me. You would never be without out brow colour for anyone ever again! No more struggling with too warm pencil shades, or splurging £15 per matte eyeshadow. This works out at £4.09 per shade, and that's not including the brow primer which you get in there too. 

4. Sarah Chapman Skinesis Overnight Facial, £45.00.

I would love to try this and see if it lives up to the hype it gets! It would be such a luxury product to use a couple of times a week, and just a lovely treat.

5. Stila In The Light Eye Shadow Palette, £25.00.

This is just a very pretty palette that I have wanted to own for a while. I am especially drawn to the shades Kitten, Sunset and Luster. 

So thats everything on the British market that I've been eyeing up recently! Maybe i'll make an American one next, because there is a lot of stuff I'm lusting after on the Sephora and Ulta websites too! Naughty me...

Lot's of love,

Hayley

I went to the beach!

This is just a couple of shots I took when I went to the beach at the beginning of August with my Dad and my doggie, Tess. 

I just really wanted to share them with you, and also to have something to look at to remind me of the  quiet moments in life!

What is your quiet place? Mine is either my back garden, or anywhere near water like the sea or a lake. I love to just sit and listen to the sounds of the water moving!

Lots of love, 

Hayley

I Have Boarded The Youtube Train!

Hey everyone!

I have decided to begin making Youtube videos! I find blogging pretty difficult as i'm not the most imaginative in this format, and I have been enjoying creating videos a lot so I would love you to check it out!

(this is my second video! I have another on there too)

It's going to be a bit of an odd channels with beauty and bookish videos mixed together, because they are the videos I truly love to watch. Let me know what you think! 

Lots of love,

Hayley!
