Get Festive With A Christmas Hat

Hello ladies... Have any of you ladies bought a Christmas hat this year? I have! I know it is a little early , but I have  really wanted to buy a Christmas hat over the past few years. However I always left going shopping for a novelty hat in mid December, which by then all novelty/festive hats are out of stock! So I decided I would by one extra early this year. 

Yesterday I went shopping in Bury at the Rock which is a retail shopping centre. While browsing in Primark I spotted some novelty/festive hats. I loved the cheeky Santa bobble hat, so I purchased it at a price of £3.00 which is an absolute bargain.

28 days till Christmas!

Lady In Red Makeup /Porcelain Skin and Redlips

Red is my favourite colour , so I wanted to create a basic makeup look with a natural looking face with a bright bold red lip.

1.Foundation - I can never find foundation light enough for my skin tone. So for my foundation I mixed my Rimmel match perfection in light porcelain foundation and my stargazer white foundation together to get the right shade perfect for my skin tone.

2. Blusher/Bronzer- For my cheeks I use my Fraulein 8 make up palette which I purchased from Amazon. I used the Beige bronzer blush on the first row and third blush down.

3. Lashes- For my lashes I used my favourite mascara by Miss Sporty fabulous lashes mascara.

4. Lips- For my lips I outlined my lips with a basic red lip liner pencil , and with my favourite lipstick by Beauty UK in the shade No.8 naughty.

Beyonce Perfume "Heat Rush"

Hello Ladies.... Now who wouldn't notice this diva? Powerful , Beautiful and talented. Beyonce Is one of the most famous singers  in the 21st century .As a fan of this beautiful lady's vocals, I wanted to try a perfume of hers. So a couple of months back I purchased "Heat Rush" from Superdrug in sale at £11.99. Heat rush is the second perfume of Beyonces which was released in 2011. 

When I first tried this perfume at the counter of the shop , I was surprised at the scent of this perfume. I had always imaged that she would of chose a floral clean womanly scent. Too my surprise her perfume was a fruity and passionate scent. Oranges , mango blossom and cherry with a hint of amber and musk. A feminine fun but sexy and sensual fragrance perfect for day or night. I love it!! After using this perfume for a couple of months , I would certainly  repurchase "Heat Rush" fragrance again.

Miss 1940's OOTD Navy/Sailor

I am a big vintage lover. So when I saw this gorgeous Navy/Sailor vintage inspired dress , I couldn't resit buying it! I bought this dress over a year ago from Lindybop.co.uk , which is one of my favourite vintage online clothing websites. I still adore this dress and wear it as much as  I possibly can. I paired my navy dress with my favourite navy heels from new look I bought back in the summer, which are the perfect match for this dress. A French beret is perfect for the winter/fall time , so I couldn't resit pairing my lovely French beret with this outfit! Nautical colours suits this outfit splendidly. So I didn't want to go over the top with a flamboyant colour for my handbag. I paired my outfit with a simple white handbag from Primark ,to keep a nautical simplicity look.
