What's in my make-up bag...Dodi

Hey guys!

I have been so bad at this blogging thing recently as I have felt totally swamped with uni work, however this weekend I have come back home to my mum and dads to relax and be fed! haha  

As I have a bit of free time this weekend I thought I would do a post about what products I am currently using and that are in my current make-up bag.

The Bag

This bag is from boots and it is by Ted Baker.  I loved that the bag was slightly see through so I can see where everything is inside.  I also loved the shape as it gives easy access to everything with not too much rummaging around.

Chelsea boots/wellies

Hey everyone!

Since the weather is now getting horrible, I decided that I needed a new pair of wellies since my Ted Baker ones decided to burst when I was camping earlier on this year. I was in Office when I came across these little numbers. I have been wanting a pair of chelsea boots for a while but never found a pair that I really liked or that wouldn't get ruined in all the rain that we get here in Glasgow. I thought these were really cute and are actually quite comfy and not too heavy as they are a soft plastic material. They look really cute with jeans and I had them on with a dress the other day which also looked really sweet. They also have them in a glittery silver colour but I thought the black ones would be much more practical.

Thanks for reading!

Arrival of my TOMS!

Hello blog followers,

As you know I wrote a blog about the company TOMS last week and said I purchased the shoes.  Well... they have arrived and they are amazing!  They look great with anything plus the comfort is 10 out of 10! They are for a good cause plus they look great....it makes me want to buy more (but I have no more space or money!) Here is some pictures of them for you to enjoy!

 

Thank you for reading! Why not try it yourself?

Body Shop Cleansing Brush

Hi Everyone

A few weeks ago I bought a Cleansing Brush from the Body Shop.  Like pretty much everyone I know I would love the Clarisonic but just can't justify the price.  So, for now, the £4 cleansing brush will need to do.

I wanted to wait till I had been using it for a few weeks before I blogged about it because I always feel it is really difficult to judge something when I have only been using it a few days.  At first I thought the bristles felt a bit rough on my skin but I have either got used to it or they have softened.  Think it might be a bit of both.

Since I have started using this brush my skin seems much smoother.  I have enlarged pores, especially on my nose.  Using this brush once a days seems to be reducing this, can't complain really.  I have also noticed a reduction in blackheads and my skin is looking more radiant.  The only pain is that a Clarisonic would be more convenient as it does most of the moving for you...so lazy!  I would definitely recommend this to everyone who wants to improve their skin.

OOTD - preppy

Hey everyone!

Just thought I would do a quick outfit of the day post. I really love the preppy look and wanted to do a post to show you all my new H&M blazer. It is a grey tweed style blazer and I really love the fit of it. It is surprisingly warm and I am still able to wear it at this time of year if I wear a jumper or cardigan underneath it. I am wearing a burgundy shirt from Primark underneath a cream jumper from Topshop which is really soft. My bag is from H&M, I have had this bag for a really long time and its a great size. Unfortunately my bag burst last night which I am quite sad about, but its a good excuse to go shopping for another :).

Shirt - Primark

Jumper - Topshop

Jeans - Primark

Boots - New Look

Blazer - H&M

Necklace - Swarovski

Watch - Swatch

Thanks for visiting!
