MISSGUIDED AUTUMN/WINTER WARMER PICKS

Hello everyone! So the weather has definitely taken a turn for the worse and when i say worse, i mean it is freezing cold in the UK at the moment. Keeping that in mind i have noticed a wide range of new-in pieces on the Missguided site that are the perfect winter warmer pieces, to keep you looking/feeling toasty warm and i thought why not share my top picks with you all...

1. black faux leather biker jacket | £45 | - click to buy |

For me personally a black leather jacket is a wardrobe staple for all year round, especially for autumn/winter as you can either dress them up or down. I love this particular style with the faux fur collar and if i had seen this one before the new one i recently picked up on ASOS first, i definitely think i would of gone for this one. I love pairing them with a top/jumper, jeans and either boots or trainers, leather jackets also look great styled with scarves.

2. cream oversized boxy shaggy teddy jacket | £65 | - click to buy |

Something that is a huge trend for this autumn/winter season is faux fur/teddy jackets, which lets face it aren't they just so cosy and warm? I love this particular style as it isn't too long in length, which i am not a huge fan of as i am only 5ft2. This particular jacket also comes in a variety of different colours from cream to black and even a beautiful red colour.

3. petite black cropped boxy denim jacket | £25 | - click to buy |

I love denim jackets for more casual looks, especially this boxy style as you can layer with them easier during autumn/winter and look good paired with jumpers, unlike a regular fit denim jacket. This particular black boxy style is available in both regular fit and petite, for me personally as i am a little shorter petite fit always fits me a lot better than a regular fit. Another selling point for this jacket is how affordable it is at just £25, for such a well made/great quality jacket. I have had a few Missguided jackets over the years, that last/wear well.

4. grey cable knitted boyfriend jumper | £25 | - click to buy |

Something that is definitely a winter wardrobe staple is knitwear/jumpers and Missguided definitely have a huge selection to choose from, including this super cosy cable knit jumper that is available in six different colours but personally i love this grey colour. They also have different styles of knit jumpers from more fitted styles to off the shoulder style and super-oversized jumpers. The pricing of jumpers range from £10 to around £25/30 (all depending on the style) and they also wash really well.

5. black faux suede western ankle boots | £28 | - click to buy |

A style that i am personally enjoying wearing so far this autumn/winter season is ankle grazer style skinny jeans, paired with black suede ankle boots. I have a few pairs in my wardrobe including a couple of pairs i recently picked up similar to this style, one heeled and one more on the flat side. The thing i love about Missguided shoes is they are super comfy to wear/walk in for a long time without your feet aching.

6. black zig zag pattern scarf | £12 | - click to buy |

Finally, no autumn/winter wardrobe is complete without a staple scarf to layer up with when going out in the cold. The perfect thing about picking up a scarf that is either black or neutral, it is going to go with so many different outfits and whatever jacket/coat you decide to pair it with. I definitely think i am going to pick this particular scarf up, to style with a leather jacket, black jeans and heeled ankle boots for the perfect "shopping" look.

WHAT'S IN MY TRAVEL MAKEUP BAG

Hello everyone! In a recent post all about the tropical trend for summer, i mentioned not only how much i love love love skinnydip makeup/wash bags but also if you wanted to see an updated "what's in my travel makeup bag" post. So seeing as recently i was packing up my makeup for travel, i thought why not share with you what is in my makeup bag this time around. If you didn't catch my previous one, then you can catch up on that here.

So this is the makeup bag i am currently using and it is the peachy washbag by skinnydip, i have mentioned so many times before how much i love these bags simply because of their cool prints and most importantly because of how much you can fit into them. As you can see i have managed to fit a ton of stuff into it, including the two new palettes by zoeva. When it comes down to packing a travel makeup bag, i like to pack what i know works for me, as well as what i can do multiple looks with and also a couple of different lip options. All links for the products inside of my makeup bag will be linked below, if you want to know where i got them from.

NYX HAUL

Hey guys, hope you are all having a great week so far! I had mentioned in my last haul post about it being hard to get hold of in stores in the UK but Next have started carrying some of their line. So last week i made an online order from NYX Cosmetics and it finally came this morning, i didn't get too many things but a few things really caught my eye...

The first item i got was the Smokey Look Kit which contains 9 eye shadows and 2 lip colors. The packaging is so cute and compact, it also has a good range of matte and shimmery shades from light to grey shades and also darker blues/browns (perfect for creating a smokey eye). 

S109 Smokey Look - £12.

I have been wanting to try the Butter Glosses for so so long now but have never gotten round to actually trying them until now, i got the shade "Eclair" (shown in the center above). I also decided to give the Soft Matte lip creams ago also because i saw that Judy from "itsjudytime" on YouTube talking about how nice they were, so i got 2 of those (shown to the far left and also far right).

L-R:

Soft Matte Lip Cream in the shade SMLC04 London -£5.50

Butter Gloss in the shade BLG02 Eclair - £5

Soft Matte Lip Cream in the shade SMLC13 Sydney - £5.50

(I think "Sydney" is going to be my favourite, such a me pink shade).

Whilst on the subject of lip products i also got this Retractable Lip Liner just to try out because i am obsessed with the NYX pencil lip liners and was curious whether these are as good or not, so i am excited to try this one out!

Retractable Lip Liner in the shade MPL18 Peony - £4.50

I have said before that the thing i spend the most time on whilst doing my makeup is brows, i love me some brows and the way they really define your whole face but still keep your brows looking natural. I do prefer to use brow powder over pencil any time as it looks more natural.

Eyebrow Cake Powder in the shade ECP02 Dark Brown/Brown - £5.50

And last of all i had to get another makeup setting spray because i mentioned in my previous haul that i had only ever used MAC Fix+ and the Urban Decay one before and wanted something a lot cheaper. After trying it out i actually prefer it over both of those products, so now i am thinking why didn't i try it sooner? 

Dewy Finish Makeup Setting Spray - £8.
