New Product of The Month

Hello, Everyone :) I wanted to do the 6th outfit post today, but I woke up with a nasty cold and I assure you that a snotty nose is never good on a picture :D So instead I will start a new series, where every month I will share one or two new products I have tried and loved or hated. I don't really see how I could be doing monthly favourites, because...honestly, I have my favourites and I just keep using them month after month. But I do wonder around on-line and in stores and sometimes come across some products I have either heard of or seen advertised somewhere. So in this segment I will be telling you guys about those products :) I might do this every month or on a good month twice a month...depending on how many new things for myself I have discovered. So it's not new products per say, but more like new products for me :)

Today it will be 2 L'oreal skincare products that I picked up when I went to Superdrug to get some wipes :S I came out with 4 packs of wipes these two creams and a few more bits and bobs :S Anyway out of the two creams/serums one  I LOOOVE the other one not too much.

 I will start with the LOOOVE. The L'oreal Skin Perfect Perk Up Cream.

This comes in 35ml tube. And promises to reduce the signs of fatique (yes the only reason I picked it up :D I am constantly feeling tired, so I was hoping to use this whenever I just can't be bothered with a bb/cc cream or any other make up product for that matter) AND it delivers. You can see the change immediately. The whole face looks more glowing it's super moisturising and all the imperfections and dark circles seem to have faded away. And another great thing about this is that it smells amazing :D It has 20SPF which is always good in creams and it's just all around an amazing product. I find it being like a cc cream but without actually changing the skin colour but rather making it luminous and well I will say it GORGEOUS. It's also a great base for makeup as it does make your skin surface really smooth. The only thing is that it's quite greasy so you definitely have to set the makeup with powder or else it will run down your top. But I actually like the ''greasiness'' it just feels that much more moisturising because of it and also it doesn't LOOK greasy...

The second product I got was the L'oreal Skin Perfect Magic Touch Instant Blur cream. It is tinted - universal shade...which made my alarm bells ring right away, but I though about giving it a try anyway :D I don't hate the product, but I must say I don't love it either. It is tinted, but the tint is quite light in colour and I'm quite tanned. I did use it in my t-zone and under the eyes just because I figured if I use it all over my face I would just look washed out. And for that reason only I don't love it, because I think it's just for targeted areas. But other than that it still does what it says it's going to do...helps improve visible skin quality, as if perfected.

Both of these products are on better than half price offer at the moment in Superdrug so I'm thinking of going to go and get another perk up cream just because it's only £5.95 at the moment rather than £11.99

If you too have wanted to try out the Skin Perfection creams then right now is the right time. :)

Let me know what you think if you have used them already? Loving? Hating?

And as always 

Stay tuned

WORK IT

Hello, Everyone :) I think we all know I don't work any more, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy a good pant suit. In the summer though a whole suit can look a bit too boxy and you will probably melt and get sweat patches and...anyway. I think in the summertime it's ok to jazz up your work attire a little and have a bit more fun. SO here is my take on a summer office wear outfit :)

I chose these peachy and light blue colours for the outfit, because we all know dark colours attract Sun. Light colours will keep you cooler in the summer...FACT :D I added some gold, dark purple and brown leather accessories and voila. I do actually wear contacts because I'm slightly blind :D but my glasses seemed to work with this outfit as well, so I thought why not share these bad boy nerdies with all of you as well :D

I love the flowy gypsy top from Primark. It's just the prettiest thing and I the delicate flowers go well with the pale pink cropped peg leg trousers from Missguided. The shoes are from there as well. AND they are probably the most wonderful comfortable heels I have come across lately. The short block heel looks super fashionable but it also makes walking a whole lot easier than with a thin heel. I think a medium block heel is a perfect middle way between a flat shoe and a high heel :) So give it a try and let me know how you feel about them.
The bag is an old find. I got it from one of those stands you find in between places :D It was £10 and worth every pound :D I do like a good structured bag anyway :)

SHOP THE STYLE

Hope you enjoyed todays look :)

This outfit was the 5th look for my 10 Days of Summer Style series, so we are half way trough :) 

I will also try to get myself to work out the ''shop the style'' for each look, but it's mighty time consuming...bare with me on this one :D IF there is something you think you can't live without ;) let me know and I'll find the item or similar faster/

Stay tuned for a faux leather look next :)

ICE CREAM

Hello, Everyone :) Another day, another white dress. This time it's actually a recent purchase rather than an old piece out of my wardrobe :D. I picked up this lovely cotton gypsy dress from the Primark section in Selfridges when I was shopping with my friend. Ok I must admit she found it first and I just copied her :D But it's a lovely dress and it was only £13. I wore this outfit today for a little trip to the local ice-cream cafe :) It was such a nice sunny and warm day we decided to have a little walk there. Even though Oscar is sick for the first time in his life, and was not really feeling too well. We figured a little bit of fresh air will only do him good.

 Because it was just a casual daily outing I opted for flats rather than wedges that I would normally pair with this kind of dress. I really wanted to wear some sandals...but I realised I don't own any sandals...how sad...shopping trip me thinks :D But my old favourite tan braided flats from Missguided worked very well. I also added a fringed bag and some mint green sunglasses for a little pop of colour :) The whole look is very simple but kind of pretty in its peasant way :D Hope you like it :)

Next outfit for the 10 Days of Summer Style will be a business lunch outfit :) So stay tuned :)
