Trilogy Stores Autumn Winter Wishlist

Denim Edit

I am in desperate neds for some new jeans but finding the right ones can be a pain and I always end up going for the same style. I want that to change and am lusting over these three different ones, first up we have the straight leg - basic but comfortable and great to wear with anything you own. I am also loving the look of white jeans, little did I know that you can pull them off in the winter as well with a chunky knit. Then the one pair of jeans I really want to get my hands on leather jeans. They are rocker-chic and the small detailing such as zips add such an edge. Can you imagine them with a burgundy top and a biker jacket *heart eyed emoji*

Perfect Knits

Who doesn't love a good chunky sweater? At the moment the weather is all over the place but I am taking every chance to get out the jumpers and more recently cardigans. Not the ones you throw on top of a t-shirt the big wooly ones. I love the look of these long and fluffly cardigans as a chance to layer up and great to keep warm. 

Folk Fall Tales

Then we have a trend that I have a lot about but never seem to know how to wear it. I read somewhere once that its like Bohemian but more simple with bold colours that pop. One piece that I love from the Trilogy Stores range is this Jumpsuit from the Alexa Chung for AG Jeans, How beautiful is it? Its a classic denim colour yet the long sleeves makes it look different and very chic. I would also add a over-sized scarf to complete the look and a cute little hat.  

If you ever find your self in a fashion rut and need some inspiration take a look at Trilogy Store Lookbook, including how to wear the very tough material that is suede.

Real Techniques Bold Metals Collection Essentials Set

Yesterday a VERY exciting parcel came I couldn't wait weeks to share it I had to share it straight away. I am a HUGE fan of Real Techniques, their brushes are great quality and very affordable, saying that when they bought out the Bold Metals collection I was put off due to the price but knew that one day after saving up I would buy them. But it all changed when I went on Amazon and spotted a shop that sells all the RT brushes from all the collections! I was about to buy the bold metals individually then I spot the Collection Essentials Set.

A quick google and I noticed that this set is not available in the UK, it is a RT Website Exclusive retailing at $49 equivalent to around £32. On Amazon the set is currently retailing at £12.99 + £2.00 delivery so £14.99 - half the price of the US selling. I ordered it on Sunday and it came Tuesday (yesterday), packed amazingly well and in great condition. And, it's the actual brushes! Do you see why I had to get this post up?

On to what is in the set you ask? 

The set comes with three different brushes, one of each bold metal colour. I haven't used the brushes yet but have had a touch and they are unbelievably soft and luxurious. They feel very high standard and it makes sense to me now why they are so expensive, they aren't no core collection. However, to me the handles feel plastic-y and the point at the end of the brush seems very annoying when holding it up, but as I use them more I am sure I will get used to them.
103 Angled Powder - This is the exclusive brush in the set and is described as their largest head yet, and with the added angle it helps to blend perfectly.
300 Tapered Brush (RRP £24.00) - The rose gold brushes were the ones that caught my eye in the first place due to the colour and the tapered brush was always on my wishlist. A tapered finish has been designed to highlight and sculpt the cheeks at the same time. 

200 Oval Shadow (RRP £15.00) - This eye brush is sold separately but is the price of what I paid for the entire set which is insane. The round shape of this brush allows you to give all over the lid application as well as help you blend everything together. 

Lets just address something - these are fakes. Of course they are! This set isn't even available in the UK. Everything on the brushes and about them looks identical to images online of the real ones, the actual set and the bold metals that I have seen in Boots with my own eyes. I have also experienced buying dupes of real techniques from the internet before and they have never come in actual packaging like this set. Its a first. But they are way cheaper than real ones and for me that isn't a problem.

I am very excited to use these brushes for the first time tomorrow and will report back either in this post or a seperate one with my full thoughts but for now I suggest you have a look at buying them...

Autumn is Coming - Lips

Now for the instalment of Autumn Is Coming that I have been very excited for - LIPS! By far my favourite make-up item out there, I could spend £1 or even 1 million pounds on them - they are just amazing. There are a lot of colours that I love at this time of year, and ones that I am still finding when browsing instagram. But these four are the ones I have been going for these past few weeks making them more of my 'current favourites' rather than all time. 

1. (Bottom) Wet 'n' Wild in Cinnamon Spice £2.20 Amazon

This is the berriest shade of the four and it a lipstick that is to die for. I am so thankful for Mollie sending me this in the swap that we did because Wet 'n' Wild lipsticks that amazing, and worth the hyper that surronds them. They are only £2 and are creamy, long lasting and smell glorious. The lipstick glides on to the lips like butter and the semi-matte finish doesn't cake or flake away. I do find some bleeding after a few hours but this is due to no lip liner which is changing from today, as I am on the hunt for a berry lip liner for all these colours. 

2. Seveteen Stay Pout in Rule Breaker £4.49 Boots 

I spoke about this wonderful lipstick just a few weeks ago in my 2 Seventeen Lip Products You Need To Try post. I love this lipstick because even though it is rich in colour and has a pinky undertone it's slightly glossy, making it easier to wear during the day. It is also very hydrating so perfect for those dry and cold lips. 

3. Revlon Lip-Butter in Red Velvet £7.99 Boots

I always thought that Revlon Lip butters were only for the summer time, this is due to the shades I had but infact after a trip to Boots last month I realised I was missing out. This lip butter not only has a name that makes me go hungry every time I use it but its a great colour. This is very red compared to the others, yet not a scary colour as the formula of butters are sheer. This means you can either wear it so that it doesn't really show, or build it up. Similar to the Seventeen lipstick the formula is moisturising and 'buttery' making you want to wear it as often as possible.

4. (Top) Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in Frambourjoise £8.99 Superdrug

Finally we have a lipstick that is a completely different colour to the other three, this is a true pink, Don't let pink scare you, or make you think that its only for summer nights because it most definitely isn't. If reds and berrys scare you then going pink is your next option and a formula like the velvet ones are perfect as it lasts all day and feels amazing on the lips. If you mix it with a red lip liner you deepen the colour and make it more autumnal. 

What are your favourite autumnal lip products?

Boutique Of Molly Dahlia Dress

Today I am talking all about the gorgeous Boutique Of Molly Dahlia Dress*. When autumn hits I am not really a dress and bare legs kind of girl but there is something about this dress that I love and will be wearing it as much as I can this Auutmn/Winter and in the summer as well.
The first thing that I love about it is the skater dress style, I don't own any skater dresses or skirts because my worry is of it looking unflattering however the shape of this one is amazing and I have fallen in love. It comes to just above my knees and the floaty-ness of the dress makes it comfortable to wear and move around in.
The colour is why I love it for the autumn, its navy blue and a very deep one as well. It goes nicely against my skin tone and can be worn numerous ways, such as with tights for a more informal look and with or with some nice heels. The main feature of the dress is the floral pattern that is running throughout, I tried my best to photograph the print as clear as can be because it is stunning. A mix of big and small flowers that are spread across the dress but not over powering it, and the pattern works all the way down to the bottom where there is a pink mesh insert.
The dress has cute little cami straps which calls for me to wear a shawl over it during the night but perfect for those summer days. The neckline in my opinion is 'sweetheart' but correct me if I am wrong. I usually go for scoop or turtle (my new obsession) but this one is just as flattering, it is slightly too big under my arms but nothing that a little bit of sewing can't fix!

I think this is either going to be my Diwali dress for one of the events or for Christmas!

You can buy your very own Dahlia Dress on their site! 
p.s if you order before 3pm your parcel is sent out the same day (Mon-Fri)

This dress was kindly sent to me, however all opinions expressed are my own.
