OOTD - The Pink Duster Coat



I just can't get enough of Next at the moment! I am becoming a nextaholic but how can I help it when they keep bringing out stylish, reasonably priced, high quality clothes?! 

The Pink Duster Coat (£65) from Next

So warm and cosy on the inside yet chic and elegant on the outside. As soon as I saw it I just knew it would end up in my closet. It's soft and feminine and perfect for autumn/winter. It brings with it that guilty feeling of wishing for colder weather to be able to wear it!

Silver Shoes (£28) and Silver Clutch (£14) - both from Next

I have looked enviously at people wearing silver shoes for a while now but I was never sure I could pull them off. I finally decided to have some fun and buy them anyway (and of course the matching clutch). I'm really pleased with them and will definitely be mixing them with some of my other outfits.

I wore my new Next goodies with my favourite Floral Peplum Top and Black Pencil Skirt (both from H&M), but it would look good with a white dress or leather look trousers.

You can also see this look on Chictopia. Let me know if you're on Chictopia, I would love to see your style!

Electro Baby Lips - Maybelline Beauty Review

Maybelline recently added 4 electro shades to their Baby Lips range. As a fan of the range, particularly Cherry Me, I was keen to try the fun new additions. For those of you have never tried this before, Baby Lips is a playful range of tinted and scented lip balms. 






This is a subtle shade in comparison to the others. This is perfect if you are a fan of more natural tones. The best thing about this one is that it smells like a sweet shop!


Mmm orange... the colour and scent are as refreshing as a freshly squeezed glass of orange juice on a hot summers day. The orange colour is bold and not a colour I had tried before. 


The stick looks extremely purple and I was a bit worried it would look like I had gorged myself on beetroots but to my relief it is a soft purple shade. It smells like berry sweets yum!


This is my favourite and it's the brightest one. I love bright pink and I regularly wear a similar shade lipstick. Whilst this is the most pigmented in the range, the smell was the weakest, but it still has a subtle sweet smell to it.

Overall, I was impressed with the lasting moisture these lip balms give and I like the fun shades and smells. They are reasonably priced at £2.99 each (from Superdrug) and great to use as an everyday product or if you want to have more fun whilst moisturising your lips.

July LoveMeBeauty Beauty Box

LoveMeBeauty is another wonderful beauty box I subscribe to! It stands out from the others by letting you select your box from three different choices each month. This is an excellent feature because you can pick which colours or products you prefer and if you don't like surprises you can see what's in the box before it arrives. The box costs just £10 plus £2.95 postage a month. 




This month I was amazed to see lots of different products in each box. After a long period of indecision, I made my choice - Box 2. I was so excited when it came through the door and I couldn't wait to try out all the new products! My box contained:
  • So Susan Flutter Mascara - £14.95
  • So Susan Dual Brow Powder - £11.95
  • OFRA Pressed Eye Shadow in Bliss - £8.80
  • OFRA Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Hollywood - £11.60
  • Lashem Lash Enhancing Serum - 2ml sample, £40 for 3.5ml
  • Waleda Sea Buckthorn Body Lotion - £15.95
  • 4am White Tea from The Teashed - £3.50
  • An emergency teabag
There are enough makeup products in the box to make an entire look! There are products for your lips, eyelashes, eyelids, eyebrows and skin.



OFRA Pressed Eye Shadow in Bliss

This is a good quality eye shadow. There is a gorgeous gold pigmentation to it and I love the way it shimmers luminously in the light. I will definitely be buying more OFRA eye shadow colours in the future. 



OFRA Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Hollywood

This bright pink lipstick is the perfect colour for Summer. The thick texture helps to give a good coverage to your lips. Although it says it's a long lasting lipstick, I found that it faded after a few hours, so definitely pop it in your handbag to top up throughout the day.



So Susan Flutter Mascara

This is a subtle but pretty mascara. The fine texture doesn't leave any big chunks on your lashes. I like the way it gives long lasting definition.



So Susan Dual Brow Powder 

I had never tried an eyebrow powder before, as I normally just use a pencil. I really like the two different shades. The shape of the brush is perfect for applying the powder, ensuring you can get your eyebrows looking just how you want them.



Lashem Lash Enhancing Serum 

This little bottle nourishes and conditions your eyelashes, whilst also enhancing them to make them look longer in just two weeks! It's easy to apply and I look forward to seeing the results soon. 



Waleda Sea Buckthorn Replenishing Body Lotion

I can't get enough of the fresh citrusy smell! This is a wonderful body lotion that rejuvenates your dry skin and leaves it feeling moist for most of the day.



The Teashed 4am Tea

This white tea is named 4am tea because it's low in caffeine so you can drink a cup of it without worrying about not being able to sleep. I am a tea-addict so I can't wait to try this out, although I'm not going to be getting up at 4am!



Overall, LoveMeBeauty gave us a real treat this month with 6 full sized products and an expensive sample. The 2ml Lashem bottle is worth around £20 alone. I am super impressed with the amount of high quality products in this box. I also enjoy the variety - from Lipstick to Teabags! It can be hard to choose your box if you're indecisive like me, but it does give you more power over the contents and ensures there are no surprises.



Each beauty box I subscribe to is fantastic in its own way and this is one subscription I'll definitely be keeping on.

New Look Fashion Haul

My local New Look store in Brighton was relaunched last Friday with a 'new look' so I thought I would check it out, especially when I heard they were giving away goodie bags! Who doesn't like freebies?!

I loved the new layout the minute I walked in. As this was the re-opening, there was a live DJ, a nail bar, a lash bar and stunning displays. After a good browse of all the beautiful clothes on the ground floor, I ventured upstairs and was greeted by nearly a whole floor of shoes and accessories! I was in fashion heaven! 

After exploring the shop to my hearts content, I filled my basket and headed to the till. This is what I got: 





Floral Top with Collar - £14.99
I loved the combination of the floral print and the white peter pan collar - it improves upon the timeless floral top by adding an interesting twist with the contrasting collar. This top could be styled with many different items and colours, it's very versatile.

Orange and Blue Floral Top - £12.99
Another floral top! It looked so cute and summery on the hanger, I just had to buy it. It looks even better on, especially with blue trousers or jeans for a casual look. It can also be dressed up with a navy skirt.



Polka Dot Clutch - £12.99
This clutch grabbed my attention whilst I was waiting in the queue. I wanted it so much that I left my place near the front of the queue to grab it! It was totally worth it! I think it would look great with the classic little black dress. I can't wait to carry it around!


Necklace - £5.99 and Bracelet - £7.99
I love how sparkly these are and I'm looking forward to testing them out with the rest of my wardrobe.




Stack of 5 Rings - £3.99
These are fun to mix and match with other rings or you can wear them separately or as a stack. 



Daisy Ring - £2.99
I got this to match the floral tops, I can never have enough flowery items! 



Floral Sippee Cup - £5.99
Okay, one more floral item! I have been using this everyday at work since I got it. I am a Sippee cup convert! New Look had several patterns to choose from but with my floral addiction I couldn't resist this one.



You can buy the items in store or online at www.newlook.com.

Goodie Bag:
I was so excited to see what was in my goodie bag and it was even better than expected!! It contained: white sunglasses, a chunky gold bracelet, Eylure false lashes, a Montagne Jeunesse strawberry soufflĂ© face mask and strawberry sweets!





As you can probably already tell, I am a tad obsessed with floral! It's one of my favourite patterns especially in Spring and Summer because it's so pretty and feminine. I was pleased to find an overload of floral when I went into New Look and will definitely be going back to get more!
