Hello + welcome back to my blog, 

Today's post is going to be a battle of the setting sprays! Since discovering the magic of setting sprays, I have been on a quest to find the best one. But before we get into it, let me just briefly explain what setting spray does. Setting sprays help your make up stay in tack all day. Back in the day, before these guys were even a thing, people (including myself) would use hairspray to do the trick but we thank God those days are over. Anyway enough definitions now onto the review ... 


NYX MATTE FINISH 




So first off we have the NYX Matte finish setting spray (it is also available in a dewy finish). 

Price: £7

So the description says it is "For that fresh make up look that lasts NYX Professional Makeup Makeup Setting Sprays are lightweight and comfortable while working hard to make sure your makeup stays put."

MY VERDICT 

PROS: I really do like this spray, it's super light weight and it really does make your dewy foundation dry Matte. It also has makes my skin feel hydrated, weird right? But it really does. It's super affordable and easy to get your hands on. 

CONS: It doesn't really have the long lasting effect, it doesn't last the whole day. It lasted about 4 hours until I started to notice that I needed to powder my face again.

Overall rating: 6.5/10

URBAN DECAY ALL NIGHTER SPRAY 



Price: £23.50

What Urban Decay say about the spray " ... weightless spray to give your makeup serious staying power. All Nighter Setting Spray keeps makeup looking gorgeous for up to 16 hours — without melting, fading or settling into fine lines."

MY VERDICT

PROS: It does what it says! It last you all night and day! I have to say it is so good. It literally locks your makeup into place. Urban decay did not come to play! I have to say I am all the way here for this product! Yes Yes and Yes! 

CONS: the price is a little steep, but you can expect that for a high end product. The initial smell when you spray it is a bit vodka like but it does fade away almost instantly. 

Overall rating: 9.5/10

In light of the AW season, it's now time to find your winter coat and this type of coat we are looking at today is quite the coat. It is the infamous 'Puffer/Padded Jacket', it has been transformed from the 'man's not hot' roadman jacket, to a high fashion staple piece.

I was always a bit sceptical about looking like a roadman in a puffer/padded jacket, but when you pair it with the right things, it really does work! It looks super fashionable and it keeps you warm, it's literally the best of both worlds!

Here are a few pictures* of different ways other people have styled this jacket. I personally really like all of the ways the jacket has been styled, but I'd love to know which one you like the most, leave a comment below!


Ps. don't be afraid to check out the menswear puffer jackets! especially if you are looking for a longline or oversized fit!

Here are some links to places where you can get some really nice, good quality and affordable puffer jackets.

Hello + welcome back to my blog,

I know it's been a long time, I decided to take a short break from blogging  to focus on other things, but now I'm back and I am better! Today I am back with another fashion post. As you guys know I love my denim. Denim jackets are my all time favorites, I think I may do a post on all my top denim jackets, let me know if you want to see my collection ;) I love basics, I have so many plain Tees in my wardrobe and I think it's something everyone needs to have and I'm sure everyone does have, it super easy to dress up and down! I have really been inspired by menswear, I have an extensive board on my pinterest that really inspired this look. As always, I am about comfortability and this is such a super chilled look.

In light of the summer season, I decided to bright up my stan smiths with some yellow laces. I'd say this look is an acquired taste, but in life I've learnt to ' do you' it's better for the soul ... So I've heard.
For those of you wondering why I am in all black in summer is because I live in the UK and summer isn't exactly summer, the sun may be shining but don't let the light fool you because the cold will catch you off guard! You heard it here first!

Well enough chit chat, on to zee pics! ..

 Hello + welcome back to my blog ...

So today I'm back with another outfit of the day for the Birmingham Fashion Festival. I kind of went for a casual look but you can easily dress this up with some heels and switch the denim jacket for a leather jacket. You guys know I love anything comfortable and it's always a plus if it actually looks pretty sick.

Sooo .. I'm guessing you guys probably noticed something different ... Yeahhhhh so I have orange hair, why? because orange is the new black (see what I did there haha, I'm so funny right)! I was slightly inspired by the scottish disney Princess Merida, from the film Brave. I feel like her chill outlook on life is slightly me, so it was only appropriate to also dye my hair orange to fully relate to her haha. To be honest, I just wanted to change my look and do something out of my comfort zone and at first I was a little apprehensive but now I'm feeling it.

Hello + welcome back to my blog.

Today I am back again, but I'm back with an outfit of the day, can you believe I haven't done one of these in 2017 and it's literally June. So today I decided to go back to basics, bringing out the good old denim jacket. I decided to pair it with this two in one t-shirt.

Listen, this top gives me life! It has got the Kanye West pablo kinda vibes to it and I think it's pretty sick, plus it is 80% cheaper than pablo merch.  It reads ' who are we not to forgive', when I read it I was like bro! yes who are we not to?! What a thought provoking tee, I mean how many times do you find a t-shirt that makes you think this deep haha. Anyways, I hope this top makes you think as deep about life and forgiveness as I did.

Peace!
