Winter Favourites

I'm Hello Beautiful People!


Winter is coming! Today I've got my Winter Favourites for you today. I love Winter its my favourite season by far! I love that cosy feeling yo get from  winter and of course the SNOW! But here are my top five favourite things.

1) Cocoa Butter: During winter I tend to find I moisturize a lot more, otherwise I can be prone to dry skin. The moisturizer I use for my body is Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Body Lotion. I love the smell and it does add moisture to my skin.

2) Chunky Scarfs: Chunky scarves are definitely a winter staple in my wardrobe. in my opinion they do serve a dual use, especially when I was commuting to London everyday. Chunky scarves can be quite good as pillows on the train, that is how I used mine last year.

3) Hot Chocolate: Drinking hot chocolate is a big favourite to do in the winter. I mean who doesn't love liquid chocolate?? I love making my own hot chocolate but when I don't have time to make it I love to stop off at Costa and pick one up.

4) Bright Colours: Winter trends tend to be quite dark and dull. You normally see greys and black come into shops a lot. However I think that the winter is a time to wear bright colours! Just because the weather is grey doesn't mean our outfits should be too. While I'm not totally against dark colours in the winter I'll definitely pick a bright pink skirt over a grey one any day!


5) Clothes Show Live: This is one of my favourite events of the year and it just so happens to fall into Winter so it is appearing on my favourites. Clothe Show Live is amazing its a chance to see some new brands that you haven't heard of before and to meet some incredible celebrities. I always go to the make up stands and pick up items from all my favourite brands.

What are your winter favourites??

Lots of love

My Drugstore Make Up Bag..

Hello beautiful people 

Today I want to share with you what is inside my drugstore makeup bag. Inside this bag is what I would usually take away to Cornwall or when I go on holiday.

My Make up bag is from Pauls Boutique. Its large so I can fit more in, I normally put my shampoo, conditioner and shower gel in as well. I bought this bag from Superdrug in August but it is now no longer available.


Firstly onto face products, I would usually have my B. Prepared Primer [£9.99] for my base. For concealer I always bring my collection lasting perfection concealer in shade 1 Fair [£4.19] which I couldn't live without, my MUA Hide and Conceal concealer [£1.00] which I normally use to highlight. Onto foundation and I always take L'oreal Paris Infallible Matte Foundation in shade 11 Vanilla [£7.99] it gives amazing coverage. 


Moving on to Eyes, for primer I use B. Fixed eye shadow primer [£8.99](which I did review in August you can see it HERE). Moving on to eye shadow palettes I usually take both my Revolution palettes which are called Redemption Palette Iconic 2 [£4.00] and Redemption Palette Essential Day to Night [£4.00]. For eyeliner I usually have my L'oreal Paris Superliner Blackbuster eyeliner [£6.99] which I have used for years and years (not the same one obviously)and I don't actually know how I would cope without it. Finally on to Mascara and the mascara I normally use is the Collection Supersize Mascara in Shade Ultra Black [£2.99]. 


Next onto the lips, my main must have for my make up bag is Vaseline [£1.99]. For lipstick I take two different colours. The first one is Rimmel London Apocalips in shade...... [£6.49] and the second one is L'oreal Paris Colour Riche in shade Rosewood Beige- Julianne's Nude [£6.99]


So that is whats in my drugstore makeup bag. Whats in yours??

Until Next Time 
Sian xoxo
