The Perfect Pair ♥

Revlon '761 Scandalous' - £6.49 

&

Orly 'Glosser' top coat c/o HQ Hair* - £10.90 

Hello, I hope you are having a good week! I mentioned this gorgeous Revlon nail polish in a monthly favourites a while ago (view it here) and I am still in love with it. It has the perfect mix of purple and black sparkly flakes, suitable for any occasion in my opinion. I need about 3/4 coats to get a full opaque colour but it dries fairly quick so this isn't a problem. It lasts ages on its own but paired with this Orly top coat it lasts even longer, with an added super high shine finish. When I combine these two polishes on my nails I feel as if I have a thick layer of uv gel polish on and I know I can forget about painting my nails for at least a week before I get my first chip, perfect for those busy weeks where there just isn't any time to paint my nails *sigh*. I hope you liked this post, I am really impressed with Orly's nail polishes, they never seem to disappoint, definitely worth spending that little bit extra! xo

Revlon Colorstay Foundation Review | My New Favourite! ♥

Revlon Colorstay 24hr Foundation (Combination/Oily) £12.49 - Superdrug

I am loving this foundation at the moment! It is hands down the best foundation I've used so far, here's why. 

I have very pale skin as some of you already know and I can't ever ever find a the correct foundation colour for my skin tone, however, this foundation seems to be the perfect match. I have it in the shade 110 Ivory which is the lightest colour Revlon has to offer. It has a medium to full coverage which is great for those not so good skin days! 

I find this foundation works best for me with an oil balancing moisturiser as a base layer, I use Simple's 'Clear Skin Oil Balancing Moisturiser' (review here). I then apply my foundation with an Elf stippling brush followed by my Beauty Blender (review here) to blend it all out and get rid of any brush marks, to give my skin an airbrushed & soft look. It blends out perfectly and has that 'no foundation, flawless skin' look. 

This foundation hasn't caused my skin to break out which is great because quite a few high street foundations have done in the past, so this one is in my 'safe' zone. It lasts all day which is good for me because I always lean my hands on my face or I have an itchy nose or something (weird, I know), so most foundations I've used tend to rub off but this one stays put! I am just about to purchase my second bottle, so I would highly recommend you try this foundation next time you are looking for a new one!

What are your thoughts on this foundation?

October Favourites ♥

Hello(:

I hope you've had a good month! It  has been okay for me, I have been working a lot more but it was all worth it come pay day. I haven't really done much throughout October apart from go to Glasgow shopping with James, it's been a pretty boring month for me! However I have been trying new products and buying new things which are all included in this months favourites!

(Individual item pictures from the top to bottom)

1. Revlon nail polish 'Scandalous' £6.49 - I absolutely love this nail polish! It lasts such a long time and looks amazing on my nails!

2. Barbara Daly lipstick 'Sugar Candy' £9 Tesco - For me this is the perfect lipstick for autumn/winter, it is such a lovely purple shade and it matches everything!

3. Ren Global Protection Day Cream Sample(Free in InStyle mag, part of a 3 piece set) - I have loved using this sample throughout this month, it smells absolutely amazing, it sinks into my skin quickly, leaving it feeling revived and soft. 

4. Revlon Colorstay Foundation 110 ivory £12.49 - This is my new favourite foundation, as some of you may know, I have super pale skin and it's hard to find foundation that matches me. I find this foundation to be very very close to my skin tone and it lasts all day! I love it, I will be doing a full review on it very soon!

5. MUA Matte Palette £4 Superdrug - I am so happy MUA have brought out this palette, I only ever use matte shades so now that they have an entire palette dedicated to them, I am very happy! The shades are very pigmented and blend together perfectly. I will be doing a full review on this in the near future too!

6. Head Case HTC One X phone case eBay £5.49 - I don't know if this phone case will be to everyone's liking, but I love it, I think it is very me! I find it cute, however, James doesn't. It is perfect for the Halloween season but I can tell I will use it all year round, it protects my phone well and it arrived within a couple of days of purchasing it, I bought it from this eBay seller, they do lots of other designs too!

7+8 TARTAN! I always love a bit of tartan at this time of year but this year I've become far far too patriotic! I have loads of new tartan pieces, even the pyjamas I'm wearing right now are tartan! The scarf on the left is from Primark for £4 and the one on the right is from one of the many highland shops in my high street for £6, I love both of them, they are very cosy and on trend!
