Decembers Glamour Magazine



                   



Todays post is all about an amazing magazine freebie, Glamours December issue contains a free Nails Inc Nail Polish which retails for £11. There is also a Body Shop Gift Card that will contain either £3, £15 or even £100. There is also a 20% off at H and M. Amazing right, all this for a magazine which costs only £2.00.

There are four shades of Nails Inc Nail Polishes to collect. I picked up Hanover Square, its a dark purple which is so dark it almost looks black, this shade is a limited edition Glamour collaboration. This nail polish is super glossy and great quality.

The body shop gift card is aptly named Little Card of Christmas Wishes. This is a pre-loaded cars which requires no minimum spend. I checked my code online and discovered my card is worth £3.00 so I'm thinking of  picking up a lip balm or hand cream.

Code 38962 and 38933 = £3.00
Code 38935  = £15.00
I'm not sure what the other codes are.

Lets not forget about the 20% off at H and M card, there is a minimum spend of £20.00 but the card can be used on sale items too.

So what are you waiting for, its time to Pick your copy of Glamour Magazine as they are well and truly spoiling us!!!

Colour Blocking

I have had this pink blouse for years and years and it never fails me, it is ladylike, effortless and chic, the colour is so vibrant that whenever I wear it, I tend to colour block instead of wearing it with neutrals. 
The skirt was a bargain at only £8.00, it has an exposed zip which I chose to wear at the back instead of the front. And of course I had to pair the outfit with one of my favorite pair of heels.















Style Breakdown:
Top: Urban Outfitters
Skirt: Primark (still available in stores)
Clutch: Matalan
Heels: River Island
Watch: River Island 

                                                                  Thanks for Reading.

Autumn Beauty Picks



                                  


A new season is the perfect excuse to not only change up your wardrobe but to also change your makeup. 

Eyes: During the autumn months I tend to wear matte brown shades. I really want to change things up so I thought I would try out this palette. This autumn I'm also going to experiment with cream to powder eye shadows.

Lips: I tend to wear dark reds, plums and purples. 

Face: I like to keep my face matte, but sometimes I quite like a bronzed look as it looks sun-kissed and dewy as during the autumnal months skin can look dehydrated and dull. 

I also tend to wear a full coverage foundation and powder when I want a break from wearing foundation. 


Cheeks: I tend to wear dark pinks, reds, plum or just bronzer.

Nails: I love dark shades during autumn, burgundy, purples and chocolate tones. Also I like to be more creative with nail art and experimenting with different textures such as matte, velvet, beads and feathers.

Products:

E.L.F Cosmetics- Powder Brush
Maybelline- Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser
MUA- Winter Forest Palette
Maybelline Nail Polish- Cherry Sin (501)
Sleek- Blush by 3-Pink Sprint (366)
