Spring Wish List

Yet again, it is that time of the year where the seasons are beginning to change, and I feel the need to splash the cash on a few essential items. Well, I say essential, they are not but changing up your wardrobe once in a while can't hurt, can it?

If you have read my previous posts, you will understand that I have a little addiction to shopping and I love to fantasize about all the things I could have if I just had enough pennies! I have made a little wishlist of items that I hope to purchase in the upcoming months, enjoy!

The first item is something that I have been eyeing up for a long time and I feel that it is such an essential through the spring and summer time, or even any time of the year. The classic fur-lined pale denim jacket from Topshop retails at £57.00 - expensive, I know. This jacket could be paired with almost any spring outfit and will also be practical for Britain's typically cold spring. 

The next item, a coral/pink toned satchel is great for adding a bit of color to your wardrobe. It would look great with the denim jacket and it's such a classy little piece. The satchel is from Topshop and retails for £33.00.

Chunky black boots are so on-trend this season, and these suede lace-ups are just perfect! They can be paired with almost any outfit, day or night and warn in so many different ways. Although these boots are a little out of my comfort zone, I think they will look great on and help to add a little bit of height since I am only 5ft.1! These boots can be purchased from ASOS and retail for £79.00.

A new scent is always necessary for a new season, or at least I think so. The Pink Sands Yankee Candle is such a fresh spring scent and is perfect for creating a floral fresh scent in your room. The small Yankee Candle jar retails for £8.39 and can burn for up to 40 hours.

Pretty accessories are a must have for spring time, they can brighten up an outfit and become such a statement piece. This gorgeous Marc Jacobs Daisy Ring is such a classic item that would look lovely with pastel painted nails and any spring outfit! This ring is a little pricey but totally worth it, it retails for £29.00. 

Finally, a new lipstick is always vital for a new season, colours come in and colours go out. Spring is all about the vibrant colours, the pinks, the corals and the peaches. This MAC lipstick in 'Lady Danger' is a stunning hot pink, it stands out and is so vibrant- perfect for spring. This retails for £15.00 at MAC but can be found elsewhere for cheaper.

OOTD| Spring Has Sprung!

So the sun has finally made an appearance in England, and instantly I took full advantage of it and put on a dress. Although I am sure that this was just a one off and not the beginning of spring, for a day I could pretend.

Whilst the weather is still fairly cold, I was only going to be inside today so I did not worry about layering the outfit.

Dress- Topshop
This fitted floral dress is perfect for a casual day or can be paired with heels to dress it up. The dress is a thin material, tight fitting at the top and has a kind of 'skater style' bottom. The dress also has a cut-out on the back.

Heels- New Look

Ring- Accessorise 

Nails- BarryM Gelly- Dragon

Necklace- A gift

Lips- Rimmel London Kate Moss no.19

M.A.C Studio Fix Fluid Foundation Review

Whilst shopping a few weeks ago, I happened to stumble across a M.A.C store, and immediately I was drawn in by the beautiful display of make-up. For a little while I had been contemplating buying the M.A.C Studio Fix Fluid Foundation, so I asked the lady for a skin match test and that was it- I was immediately in love with the foundation, and so it came home with me!

The foundation has an SPF of 15 and is available in a wide range of colors, I purchased mine in the shade NC15. The foundation retails at a price of £21.50 and contains 1 fl oz. A reasonable price if you ask me!

The foundation is full coverage and gives a matte finish- perfect for those with combination to oily skin! Personally, my skin is fairly normal, although in the winter I do get a few dry patches around my nose and on my forehead, but before application of the foundation I applied a moisturiser and the dry patches were no longer visible!

(Before) 

I apply the foundation with my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush in order for the foundation to be evenly distributed, and worked into my skin flawlessly. The foundation covers all blemishes and imperfections and is great for evening out uneven skin tone or any redness that you may have, and it dries quickly leaving your skin feeling smooth as a baby's bottom! 

The foundation is very buildable and does not go cakey when applied over an area twice. The foundation is long wearing and with a little powder applied to my T-Zone I can wear this foundation for up to 10 hours- exactly what I need for a long day at college!

(After) 

The only negative point that I have to say about the foundation is that it does not come with a pump, so it can get very messy if you are just applying it from a wide nozzle. Fortunately you can buy a pump to go with the foundation that retails for £4.00, personally I think that this is essential! 

Overall, I think that this is a great product for anyone who is looking to spend a little more on a foundation, it gives a flawless airbrushed looking finish and covers any small or large imperfections. The Studio Fix Fluid is a great long lasting foundation- perfect for anyone who has a long day at work or school! 

Thank you for reading lovelies, I hope this was helpful.

A short introduction

Hello lovelies, uh so the basics, my name is Olivia and I am 16 years young.

For a while I have been contemplating starting a blog and could never pluck up the courage or effort to do so, now it appears that the time has come for me to do something productive with my Sunday afternoons instead of eat and sleep!

I intend to post weekly, sometimes more if my college work load allows me to do so! The content that I will be focusing on will be  mainly beauty and fashion- although from time-to-time there may be some lifestyle related posts.

I'd like to look at this blog as an opportunity to expand my personal confidence and get to know others from around the world, and if you happen to stumble across my blog, it would mean a great deal to me if you could follow, or comment. If you would like to leave your blog, Twitter or Instagram down below I will be sure to check it out! My Instagram and Twitter links are also on my main page if you would like to take a look!

Thank you for reading,
