H & M Picks November 2015

I've been having a bit of a clear out lately, trying to get rid of all the clothes that I don't wear anymore or have never worn and giving to either family or charity or depending how worn they are getting rid of them. 

So although I am not actually looking to buy and trying my hardest to resist spending any money (I am trying to save), it hasn't stopped me having a sneak peak online and H & M have yet again made me question if I should whip out my debit card or not?!! So far I haven't but these are my top picks from their latest collection!

Motivational Monday 16/11/2015

You are the author of your own story. If you're stuck on the same page, remember that at any moment, you have the power to write a new chapter.

I saw this quote on Twitter a few days ago and knew that it was one I had to use for my post today. I've tried to find who originally wrote it but as of yet I haven't found who did so if anyone knows then let me know! 

But today feels like the start of a new chapter for me after I have been spinning round in circles for the last few months so hence that I decided to have this as my Motivational Monday quote plus this finally happened -

After what has felt like an absolute age and for many reasons/circumstances it has taken a little longer than it should have - I have finally graduated! Whoop and I have to say it is such a great sense of achievement as well as relief and it now feels like it's officially time that I can start writing the next chapter in my life!

Essence Liquid Lipsticks

Liquid Lipstick Gloss formula products have been popping up all over the place for the last couple of months and have now reaching even the budget brands. The latest discovery for me are the Essence Liquid Lipsticks that have the cutest, mini packaging with 6 shades available and priced at a brilliant £2.50 each. 

Out of the six shades available the two that most appealed to me were 02 Beauty Secret -

and 06 Make A Statement -

Beauty Secret is an everyday wearable pink whereas for me personally Make A Statement comes out much darker on my lips so would be one I would personally wear on probably a night out or if I was going for dinner.

You can see the comparisons on the swatches below -

On the lips these don't come out terribly sticky and are fairly comfortable to wear however the only problem for me is I have to keep topping up as it's not very long lasting and tends to noticeably fade especially with Make A Statement as it's darker. To combat that problem I tend to wear a lip liner underneath so it's not as visible when it is fading but for the price I can't really complain! 

Essence is available from Wilkinson and Superdrug - where I bought mine :-).

Motivational Monday 09/11/2015

So I didn't do a Motivational Monday post last week for a number of reasons with the main one I simply didn't feel at all motivated but I have had a nice surge of energetic motivation over the last few days and this image I found online really stuck with me!

This is how I need to start approaching every single day! Fingers crossed I can manage to do this at least more than once a week - how about you?

RT Bold Metals Collection Set

I am the biggest fan of make up brushes and trying out the latest ones released for some strange reason kind of excites me?!! I fell in love with brushes heavily last year when I bought my first ever Real Techniques set and since then I have bought a varied range of brands but RT still remain one of my firm favourites. 

So when I saw the Bold Metals Collection set advertised for £30.00 in Boots on a limited special deal I did everything in my power to resist purchasing. I really did! I put it in my basket online but never checked out and lovingly gazed at the set every time I went into store and still resisted. But yesterday I popped in for once as I had to make a necessary purchase and just grabbed one and before I knew it I was at the till paying but having stared at them constantly for the last 15 minutes - I'm not that weird honest - I am so relieved that I did buy them!

The set comes in a silver box and within the set there is the 103 Angled Powder Brush (exclusive to the set) which is the gold one, the bronze brush is the 300 Tapered Blush (£24.00 if bought alone) and the silver one is the 200 Oval Shadow (£15.00 if bought alone). Also the set comes with a clutch for storing the brushes on the go. 

This set will be £64.00 when it's full price so it's definitely worth grabbing a set if like me you didn't fancy splashing out over £20 on a make up brush. The offer ends today but if you can still get the set for £30.00 online at Boots. So go grab yourself one!

Collection #BlushAndGlow Palette

Collection have been releasing lots of new products lately which if like me you are on a budget it's brilliant because they are usually of good quality considering the price point. One of their latest releases I've been particularly taken with is their #BlushAndGlow palette. 

This little wonder consists of 2 blushes, a bronzer and a highlighter and is all for the amazing price of £4.99 and I am not kidding you! Now the bronzer isn't something that I'm likely to use because it's a bit too dark for my pale complexion but both of the blushes are stunning and the highlight can be built up depending on how you much or little you would like. 

The packaging on this isn't great, it's flimsy cardboard and there's no mirror for on the go top ups but for the money the pigmentation of the blushes especially is really good and on me they last a good 4/5 hours. If you want this palette then get down to Boots now who are exclusively stocking this - you won't be disappointed.
