Working 9 'till 5

Hey everyone! This week I am on work experience therefore probably won't be blogging a lot as it is quite tiring working literally from 9am until 5pm (well 5.30pm but still!) 

In the past I have noticed on the trains going up to London in the morning that a lot of business men and women don't really make much of an effort with their work clothes fashion wise and when I started my work experience I didn't want to be one of those people to just wear black trousers and a blouse therefore I wanted to try and see how hard it was to find a nice outfit that is both acceptable in fashion and the workplace!
Here are the pictures of what I wore today and I hope that I achieved what I set out to do! Hope you all like I would love to know your opinions!!! :) xxx

NEW L'ORÉAL Paris Nude Magique BB Cream Review

Hey everyone! In this post I am going to be reviewing the NEW L'ORÉAL Paris Nude Magique BB Cream. A lot of brands of make up are bringing out these BB creams which promise to give all over coverage for blemishes, imperfections and lines. The BB creams combine the benefits of skin care and makeup to give you that 'flawless finish'.
I for one never use foundation as I am quite lucky to have relatively clear skin, *touch wood* apart from the odd spot which I normally cover up using a concealer, therefore have never really seen the point in using a foundation. However having seen loads of adverts from various brands of makeup all bringing out BB creams and the fact I am a sucker for free samples, I therefore decided to combine both and try a free sample of the L'ORÉAL Paris Nude Magique BB Cream. 





I was excited to try it however once I opened the little sachet and put some on my hand I though they gave me the wrong thing as it came out a white-grey colour! However, once I started rubbing it into my hand it magically changed colour so I was nicely surprised there!

The cream itself was smooth in texture and went onto my skin nicely. I tried using a sponge to put it on but found it easier using my fingers. The cream gave me an even coverage overall and I am pleased with the results as it made my skin feel very soft. It also has SPF 15 in it which is good for the summer as it protects your skin at the same time! If I was to buy the cream I would have to buy a lighter colour as the colour was wrong for me and I did feel a bit tangoed! (The effects of which can be seen below on the sponge and the wipe) haha!



Although a fairly good cream overall, I don't think I will be purchasing it as I did feel as if it was caked on my face a tad but not sure if that's to do with the fact I don't wear foundation.
Hope you enjoyed this post!!! :) xxx

OOTD: Black & White

Hey everyone! This is only a short post to show you the outfit that I wore yesterday as I didn't have the time to upload it. Not really Outfit Of the day I apologise, but it was yesterdays! haha!
Anyway I wore this when I went out to meet up with my friends, I wore my new Skater skirt which is from primark and paired it with my Layered, Collared, Topshop top which I think has worked well. I felt this outfit didn't need accessories as the top already has a collar and so I kept it basic with a Coral Red lipstick from Topshop which matches my nail varnish and then used my Tan Bag. 
Anyway here are the pics, hope you like!!! :) xxx

OOTD: Aztec Pearls

Hey everyone! Just a quick post to show you what I wore today. Most of the day was spent doing textiles coursework (I hate getting set homework in the summer!). But then in the afternoon my friend Elli-Rose came over and we spent the afternoon watching Sherlock Holmes, eating cookies and drinking some weird concoction that she had brought with her (it tasted good though) haha! 
Overall it has been a good day and hopefully you like my outfit, I've had the skirt for a while and it is a petite skirt as I am a short 5ft2" so fits me very well! Hope you enjoy!!! :) xxx




(P.S. I apologise for my horrible sticky out wrist and baby finger but I cannot help that haha)
