You know them days when you can't be bothered to cake your face in endless pretty products?? Yeah, I get them days. So..here are a few handy little products, both highend and drugstore, for those days when you're feeling that little bit lazy!

Personally, I would opt for a BB cream when I'm not going full frontal with my makeup; this gives a slight coverage, evens out my skin colours and makes me feel a lot more confident than leaving the house with no facial makeup at all. Although, if you do feel comfortable with your natural skin, then you could just pop a bit of concealer (the Maybelline one mentioned above is incredible) under your eyes/over blemishes and you're good to go! Finally, facewise, you could add a subtle warmness to your cheeks by applying pinky-toned blush - I love this one from two faces, the little shimmers are perfect for a natural glow.

Moving on to eyes, I will go very minimal with days like this. However, I cannot go anywhere without my brows filled in (comment below if you have really sparse eyebrows like me and know the struggle:(!) With a few strokes of the inexpensive Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil your brows will be looking on fleek (I'm sorry) in no time. If I want to balance the tones on my eyelids, I will just pat a small amount of the beautiful champagne coloured paint pot from Mac in Bare Study. Lastly, I will apply a single coat of the Revlon Lash Potion for a bit of volume and length on my lashes.

Last but not least, is lips - and 100% I will always go for lipbalms on natural makeup days. I love the small 'eos'-liked balms from Boots called Balmis or for a wash of colour, I will go for Posie Balm above ^. The colour is so flattering with simple face makeup and it totally completes the look.

I hope you enjoyed today's post and I will see you all soon.

Since the weather has been ridiculously beautiful recently, I decided to purchase some new 'summery' skirts (this number above being one of them!) I absolutely love this gorgeous daisy pattern and think it would look perfect on an evening out. This small white crop top makes this outfit even more summery, paired with a jewelled floral hair band.

What is an evening look without a dark red lip? Maybelline's drama velvet lip pencils are affordable, long wearing and highly pigmented, not to mention their stunning colour range. I definitely need to buy some more of these - but this colour is most definitely the one for this look. The soft, sultry brown eyes are also uber pretty, especially with the thin feline flick. I decided to intensely contour; I love a good ol' bronzed glow in the summer, it makes my skin look super healthy and radiant. 

What would you wear on a summer evening night out? Are you brave enough to wear a dark lip?

Love you all,

Long time, no speak. Sorry once again...I really need to organise my time but I've just been caught up with school work and everything! Anyway, today I wanted to upload a little post about my latest fashion obsessions - bodycons, turtle necks and the colour black.

Recently, I have been buying multiple black items - I have no idea why, I just think it looks so sophisticated, classy and most importantly, you can rock any lip colour with it. My favourite lipstick to pair with a black outfit definitely has to be nude (purple lips are a close second). If you love black too but think this dress looks dull, I would definitely spice it up by wearing some gold jewellry; it goes perfectly with black attire in my opinion! 

My second fashion musthave at the minute are bodycon dresses. These slim styled dresses walked into my life about two years ago and I've gained an increasing obsession with them. Despite disliking my figure, I really love the way bodycon dresses hug mine because it makes me look slimmer than I actually am. These dresses are also perfect for those who want to show off their curves too. 

Finally, one of the latest fashion crazes are turtle necks; I used to hate them so much and they made me feel so claustrophobic and suffocated. Only recently have I bonded with these little guys - they are ideal for Winter, but the dress above can be worn in the Summer as it is very light and thin. I love the cute turtle neck tops too, they look so gorgeous with denim jeans.

Dress ~ £8.00 from Primark ~ I do love a good bargain!
