Obsessed: Twosies

As you all know I have become a little obsessed with matching sets or "twosies" as some people like to call them. I currently only own two (which you can see me wearing them here and here) but I have my eye on a few more. I have picked out a couple of my favourite to share with you girls.

1. Sportsgirl 

2. Sportsgirl

3. Sportgirl (on sale!) 

4. Sportsgirl 

5. Topshop

6. Topshop

7. Sportsgirl

I love that Sportsgirl has really gotten into the trend seeing as it is very accessible, as with Topshop.

There are so many out at the moment and I want/need all of them.

Let me know if you love twosies as much as I do!

P.S. Stay tuned for our 300 follower giveaway xo

My Winter Beauty Essentials!

It's finally getting cooler, and that means it's time to break out the products I'll be needing a lot more in the winter months.  I've put together some of my favourite products that are a must have when the weather starts to cool down and your skin starts to dry out. 

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation & Nars Sheer Glow: I don't know about you guys but my skin can be pretty dry even in the summer time so I need foundations that aren't going to accentuate the dry patches or a foundation that makes me oily by the end of the day. I am completely in love with the finish of both of these foundations they make my complexion nice and glowy. 

Benefit Posie Tint, BYS Fushia Blush & Thin Lizzy Concealer: Three other essentials, I always tend to wear pinker blushes in the winter because I'm usually a little paler and it looks nice on pale skin.  The Thin Lizzy Concealer is one of my favourite concealers, I included this because it isn't cakey and doesn't dry out the skin - something I find essential in Winter. 

Kate Moss Rimmel Red Lipstick & Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub: So I'm sure nearly everyone has experienced dry lips in winter and the best way to fix dry lips is with a scrub. The Lush one is my favourite and it smells and tastes delicious. I included a berry red lipstick with a satin finish which is the perfect shade in winter and the satin finish isn't too drying. 

Butter London Cuticle Oil & Buxom Stay Put Eyeshadow in Mutt: This cuticle oil has been a lifesaver lately my hands have been incredibly dry and the skins been peeling. I keep this in my bag and use it whenever I need throughout the day this also smells amazing. The Buxom eyeshadow is kind of random but I love wearing it in winter and the shade is perfect for everyday as a base. 

Moroccan Oil & Sukin Hand and Nail Cream: I probably don't need to explain why Moroccan Oil is included, this is a fantastic product especially when your hair becomes dry and brittle in the Winter. The Sukin hand and nail cream has also been in regular use lately it doesn't leave a greasy feeling after using it and it makes my hands soft. 

Redwin Orange & Bergamot Moisturiser & Paw Paw Ointment: This moisturiser is great for Winter skin, it's not too thick so I find it's perfect for day time. Paw Paw Ointment is another one of those products that doesn't need explaining, this stuff is amazing. It's great for dry lips but also great for dry elbows. 

A few more products that I find essential in winter that aren't photographed include: 

Lush Ocean Salt Scrub

Lush Buffy Body Butter

Cocoa Butter

Exfoliating Gloves

Hopefully this helped you learn about some products that are great for the Winter months

April Beauty Favourites!

Swatches LtoR: Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation, Thin Lizzy Concealer, BYS Blush, Revlon Lip Butter Strawberry Shortcake, Rimmel Lipstick Pink Gossip, Revlon Lipgloss Pink Afterglow. 

It's that time again for a monthly beauty favourites post, I generally kept my makeup fairly simple in April as I was away for work for a week and didn't want to take a lot in my suitcase. Like most of my favourites posts I'll do a little overview of each product that way you can check them out if you like what you see. 

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation: This foundation has had a lot of hype around the blogging community and with good reason. I'm almost positive I bought the wrong shade in this product as you can see from the swatches above but once I put it on it's not noticeable at all. It goes on smoothly and has a great scent - really fresh and not plasticy at all. On me it provides a medium coverage and it's great for everyday wear. I do suffer from dry skin and this foundation makes me look dewy and awake so I think it definitely lives up to the hype. 

Australis Lash Length Extension Mascara: This mascara was actually sent to me as a part of a trial team, I've tried Australis mascaras in the past and have always been impressed and didn't expect this to be any different. I already have a fairly decent set of lashes, and this only accentuates them in the best way possible. It really does lengthen my lashes a lot and it stays on all day without flaking which is a real bonus. I'm planning on doing full reviews on a few new mascaras I've been trying so expect them in the next few weeks. 


Thin Lizzy Concealer: I got this in my Marc Glossybox I think and I was super skeptical as I'd seen this brand on an informercial and I thought it would be super gimmicky. I was actually really surprised when I started using it because it's a really great concealer.  You only need the tiniest bit of this to cover blemishes as it's nice and thick. I would definitely recommend trying this concealer. 

BYS Blush in Fierce Fuchsia: This was in my March Favourites too, I can't get enough of this blush. I know it looks super crazy in swatches and pictures but with a light hand it gives a lovely flush of colour. 


Revlon Lipgloss in Pink Afterglow: This was the lipgloss I got in the beauty bag deal from Priceline. Revlon lip products are always really lovely but the price is always way too much for me to justify so it was nice to try out a product I normally wouldn't pick up. It is such a great colour and it's not too sticky - I've been wearing this nearly every day in April. 


Rimmel Lipstick in Pink Gossip: I'm usually the girl who wears red lipstick everywhere, but this month for some reason I've been wearing pink lips everywhere. This lipstick was my go to lipstick when I went out, and I think this could be a flattering shade on anyone & I love the matte finish. 


Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake: Another super hyped product - well worth it as well. I don't really need to explain what the lip butter hype is all about. This is a great product and I've been wearing it a lot with the Revlon lipgloss over the top for something different. 

Sorry for the long post but I love sharing what I think about my favourite products for April. I know it's not a huge amount of products but these were my favourites I wore nearly everyday.
