Skincare for Oily Skin

Skincare is the canvas to your makeup, it is such an important step whether you wear makeup everyday or not, your skin has to be looked about. The hard thing is finding the right products for your skin and knowing which works. It is all a trial and error process, I am constantly finding out what my skin loves and loathes. After what seems like forever, I have found products that work but still love trying out new ones and seeing what they are like. Today, I am talking through a few bits that are perfect for oily skin, they work a treat. 

                                                       

Dressing For In-between Weather

Guess who finally has an outfit post, this girl!!! I have loved doing these more often, they really allow me to put together some outfits that represent me and what I'm all about. Each post I put up has been carefully thought out and planned so that it what I wear all the time, rather than something random. This time round, I shot with the lovely Laura from Laura Haley Photographer. Being a blogger herself, Laura knew exactly what I wanted and made me feel so comfortable. We had the perfect weather and some gorgeous locations, I can't wait for you to see the rest and for me to work with her again! You can follow her on facebook, twitter and instagram via the following links.
In today's post we are talking all about ways to dress in this awful inbetween weather, by this I mean when its sunny one minute and raining the next. Its hard to know what to wear in the morning because you can't judge anything!                  

Achieving Glowy Skin When You Have Oily Skin

Giving this post a title was SO difficult, I have combination skin which leans on the oily side but lately I have been loving a very dewy and glowy look compared to matte and shine free. It has been hard to find the balance between looking lovely and like a frying pan but I have sussed it out. A few simple steps and inexpesive products is all you need oh and this post, of course! Just a warning that the words dewy, glowy, oily and shiny will be used a great deal in this post 😂

                                              

At Home Spa for Less

Over the last few months, I've become obsessed with bodycare products. There's just something about applying and using products that smell heavenly and then last on you. I have a serious issue with getting perfume to last on me all day, to counter this I have found that using products that soak into my body are much better for me. There is a whole basket in my room that is full with different soaps, creams and bath bombs, all ready to use depending on my mood and I just take whatever I fancy that day. One range that I have been loving recently is The Body Shop Spa of the World Range, not only do I love using each individual product in the morning but at the weekend I use all of them together to give me that at home spa experience. 

Being a Girlboss

 There's a line if Stormzy's part in Power by Little Mix that really catches me every time, he says that you can be a woman and a boss and wear the trousers, at the same time. At first I didn't really think about it much but when you hear it over and over again as a super fan of the group you actually start to listen to the words and it made me realise that what he is saying is the truth. Let's take the term girl boss for example, a word that has being coined to describe someone who has dreams, are the boss of their own life and are true to themselves. It is a term that I love and admire. To be a girl boss you have to feel like one and for me that comes down to my surroundings and look. 

Swoon Worthy Eyeshadows

I'm in the process of moving student houses and as I go into my third year, I've decided to down size on everything that I own including makeup. Whilst doing this, I've rediscovered some old favourites, most of which are in the eyeshadow department. Since owning the ABH Modern Renaissance palette I haven't really used much else shadow wise but that is all about to change because these rose gold/gold beauties are incredible.
