Too Faced La Creme Colour Drenched Lip Cream


After using the Too Faced bronzer set which i reviewed in full here, i have wanted to try more of their products,its a brand that isn't too well known and isn't sold in any of my local beauty stores,Too Faced can be purchased online from Beauty Bay though. Next on my list to try was one of their lipsticks. I purchased the La Creme Drenched lip cream in the colour Juicy Melons(love the name!) from Sephora in New York,but you can buy it from Beauty Bay for £18.00. As i have said before i love their packaging!The casing of the lipstick is gold with the Too Faced name embossed into the side of it.Juicy Melons is a gorgeous pink colour,its neither nude nor bright pink and i would liken it to a pink coral colour. 






The application of it is heavenly,it applies so easily and it is really hydrating so it doesn't leave your lips looking or feeling dry,as it states it is a creme colour and it really is creamy when you apply it to the lips,it has a distinctive gorgeous scent to it,unlike some cheaper makes which have that similar scent. I need to apply this a few times to get a full coverage,the colour does fade after a while when you eat/drink etc but apart from that the staying power is brilliant. I also love how it has a gloss finish which you can see from the above pictures. This lipstick stands out from the crowd for me because of the hydrating benefits,the creamy application and the colour/gloss look win me over. For me personally it is expensive at £18 which is more than you would pay for a Mac lipstick, but you really do pay for the quality here,i picked it up as a treat but i wouldn't normally pay this amount for a lipstick.


What do you think of this lipstick? What Too Faced products have you tried?

OOTD - Monochrome print




Playsuit - Urban Outfitters(old)// Sandals - Topshop// Necklace - Primark// Bracelet - Accesorize

Sadly i think this warm weather might have come to an end now,i wrote this post up on Friday and its been raining ever since! I love this playsuit which i purchased last year and luckily the monochrome patterns are still in trend, its such a comfy and thin playsuit that its perfect for hot days (not today then!). Yes, its those Topshop sandals again!!I really should have bought more shoes this summer haha. Of course I had to team it with my neon accessories as i think it really brings out the colour against the black and white.

Thank you for reading, I hope you're all having a lovely weekend,now bring on the autumn outfits!What do you think of this outfit?Do you like the monochrome trend?

OOTD & Day out



Hello everyone i hope you have all been enjoying this unusually glorious weather for September! Making the most of it yesterday i took a a ferry ride over from Plymouth to a place called Mount Edgecumbe which is home to a stately house and such beautiful grounds,i then went on a 7 mile walk(so tiring!) to a beach in Cornwall called Cawsands,it was such nice weather that it was worth the trek and i even topped my tan up,result! Here are a few pictures of my day and what i wore.








Blouse - Vero Moda// Shorts - Levis (customised by me)// Belt - Primark//Necklace - Miss Se;fridge// Sunglasses - Urban Outfitters

This was quite a casual outfit that i wore yesterday but it was sooo hot and i needed to be comfortable on the long walk so that's why you cant see the old flip flops that i wore haha. I love these levis but they are far too big for me now but they look good hoisted up with a belt, i also customised these a while back with studs which i bought i Ebay! I fell in love with this blouse at the start of the summer because i love the dip dye effect of the white and pink. I'm so surprised at how much wear i have had out of my summer clothes this year but i want to start wearing all my winter clothes again now,and long hair and heat in the weather just don't go!

Thank you for reading What do you think of this outfit?

Uni Haul!


I don't know about you but haul posts are some of my favourites to read, it gives you inspiration as well as having a good nosey at peoples purchases! Its safe to say that i am completely obsessed with shopping for uni stuff,whether its stuff to decorate my room with,kitchen ware or bath stuff. You will find me frantically rummaging the aisles of TK Maxx and Wilkinsons weeks months before uni starts in search of the best stuff, so here is what i have been haulin'!


Plastic cups - The range// Heart shaped moulds,polka dot tin - TK Maxx// Princess spatula,mug - Wilkinsons// Cake decoration set - Primark// Straws - Ebay//Food bowls - Athena// Coasters - Present

Here is a selection of the prettiest stuff i have bought for my kitchen, i have excluded all of the basic stuff because i'm sure everyone knows what a plate looks like haha. All of this stuff literally cost me next to nothing, the polka dot tin will come in handy for hopefully all of the cooking i do....I picked the heart shaped cake moulds up from TK Maxx and they are amazing,i think all food looks better when its heart shaped in general! Yes the plastic cups are pretty boring but they are a necessity for student life, the amount of glasses i have had stolen/broken from pre drinks is incredible,this way when people come round i don't have any washing up after either! In the midst there is a few other essentials, a princess spatula is vital for every cook!




Tray - Ebay//Heart blackboard - Hobby Craft// Friends are like stars decoration - Shop in Hitchin (sorry i cant remember the name!)

Candle holder - from Valencia// LED Lights - The Range// Mosaic pot - Wilkinsons

Makeup pot - Ikea// Accessory Hanger - Primark// Photo frame - Hobby Craft

Milk bottles - dotcomgiftshop


I made these hearts myself to take to uni with me,they were so simple to make and just required wire,buttons and flowers from card toppers. Let me know if you want full instructions on how i did it.


Above is my noticeboard at home and its how i will hopefully style the one i have in my uni room! I love noticeboards as you can make them as personal as you want them,with memories,pictures,tickets,inspiration,quotes etc and i find it such a nice thing to look at!

I hope you enjoyed my uni haul post,sorry its so long!! What do you think of my purchases? Are you starting or returning to uni soon?
