Sophie's Top 5 Favourite Lipsticks!

Sophie's Top Five Favourite Lipsticks!

Lippies are my one of my beauty items to buy. I love all the different shades, formulas and finishes that you can experiment with. Hayley will be posting her Top 5 faves next week so look out for that!

From left to right - 
1. MAC Brave... this is my current everyday colour. Its perfect for winter and has great staying power
2. MAC Pure Zen... this has been my favourite nude for so long now. Its what I wear when I go out at night and I am on to my third tube!
3. Chi Chi Cosmetics Glamazon... this is a more recent purchase and I'm surprised by how much I love this shade. I usually don't go for hot pinks but I think this one goes perfectly with my complexion
4. MAC Dark Side... jumping on the dark lip trend! I love this shade with glowing skin and simple eye makeup
5. Make Up Store Attitude... this a sheer coral colour, it's great for making your lips look glossy and perfect for everyday wear to Uni or work

Our Favourite Jewellery Pieces

Today we thought we would share with you all some of our favourite jewellery pieces we love to accessorise our outfits with! We hope you enjoy this post and maybe find some cute accessories ideas to add to your own collection. 
- Hayley & Sophie xx


Sophie's Favourite Jewellery Pieces

My favourite pieces are a mix between everyday items I wear to work and just on a daily basis, and also gold glamourous items that add a little something to an outfit. A few of these items I have had for a loooong time, and some are more recent items. Hope you enjoy and get inspired to expand your collection!


Necklaces

These two are my go-to's! I love this first one because its antiqued gold with Swarovski crystals, it adds so much sparkle to a look and is easily worn all year round. The second one is my everyday necklace, I've had this baby for around 4 years now and I still adore it (I am also in the process of saving for a gold one!)



Wristwear

These pieces often make it in to my OOTD - especially my watch which is probably my favourite all of the items I am showing. I also love my new Cartier inspired bracelets in three tones, these are perfect and match every single thing I own. Ive also chosen to include my Pandora collection, I typically wear these on an everyday basis. They are a great investment and you can customise them to your own preferences :)





Earrings

These are my two favourite pairs of earrings. I rarely wear earrings, so when I do I want them to be the statement piece. These two are gorgeous and super sparkly.



Rings

The top three rings are constantly on my fingers. They are super delicate and perfect for everyday wear. If I'm not wearing these I will be wearing midi-rings - below are some of my favourite simple ones.

 Hayley's Favourite Jewellery Pieces 

As you can see my favourites are all some form of gold!! 
I always opt for gold accessories particularly rose gold as I feel they can be added to any outfit to finish it off nicely. I am particularly obsessed with necklaces and rings and of course my watch, which never leaves my wrist. 




 Necklaces
These are just a few of my favourite necklaces that i like to wear particularly when I'm wearing a neutral outfit.






Earrings 
Im lacking a bit in the earring department! I have so many but none that I love but these evil eyes are defiantly my fave.

Wrist wear 
I love delicate and intricate bracelets because you can mix match them to make your own combination to match your outfit.

Rings
These are my favourite rings of the moment!

Our Makeup Collections & Makeup of the Day

We are bringing you something slightly different today - our first beauty related post! We wanted to show you how we organise our everyday essentials so that it allows makeup application to be quick and easy.  Obviously we don't use all these products everyday, but these are the things we always find ourselves reaching for! We are both using acrylic cases to store our makeup, similar to the popular ones from Muji - although these are much more affordable. We found ours at the local bargain shop The Reject Shop, there are a lot of designs and work perfectly. They look so simple and clean - perfect for storing makeup and still keeping it looking pretty.
