Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer | £52

The price may make you wince a little a bit but this Hourglass Primer sounds like a dream. It does so much to prep and prime the skin including minimising pores, reducing redness and smoothing out the skin to create the most beautiful base before applying your foundation. It also has spf15 to help protect your skin from the sun which is always an extra added bonus.

Work Xmas Party- The Outfit & The Beauty Essentials

It's Christmas Party season, my favourite time of the year! What better time to put your best dancing shoes on and get a little merry? We had our work Christmas party last Friday and I love seeing how glamorous everyone gets. It's such a change from seeing everyone in their work attire and massive efforts were made!

Oasis Detachable Fur Collar Coat | £68 (was £85)

The clocks went back at the weekend so it feels like winter is now upon us. Each year I like to purchase a new winter coat and I've seen this gorgeous stone coloured  one from Oasis. My current winter coats are all black, navy or dark green so I love that this is a little different and the fur collar makes it extra warm and cosy. It synchs in at  the waist and flares out at the bottom so it's a very flattering shape too. It's currently reduced in House of Fraser so I'm desperate to get hold of it as soon as I can!

Faux Glow For The Face

The weather has been pretty average this summer which means that there's been very few chances to sit in the sun and top up my tan. Instead I've resorted to tanning from the bottle to give my skin that  golden glow. Fake tanning the body isn't a particularly difficult task but when it comes to the face it's a lot more tricky. That's not least because if it goes wrong there's absolutely no way of hiding it (unless you succumb to putting a paper bag over your face) but I'm also wary of  fake tan being liable for breakouts. As such I tend to avoid putting them anywhere near my face, leaving me facing  the disastrous look of a white face against a tanned neck. This is where I have to turn to other alternatives to give me that faux glow. There are various  products that have the ability to warm up the face and give a sunkissed look and I've selected four different formulas that can either be used all together or separately depending on the depth of colour that you're aiming for.

Fake It Like You've Been On Holiday

 

If you're like me and you hate having pale skin then I'm sure that fake tan is your best friend. I have tried countless tanning products over the years from when I first started wearing it, from St Tropez even down to Wilkos' own brand. It's difficult finding the perfect tan- a lot of them either come out green, have a horrible smell or wash off with the slightest bit of rain, and sometimes it's almost enough to put me off tanning altogether. That being said, with many different brands bringing out new and improved tanning formulas, it's hard to resist.

Asos Swimsuit | £18

With a potential last minute May holiday on the agenda I need to start getting my summer holiday wardrobe together. I don't normally wear swimsuits as I like to tan my stomach but as I love this so much I'm willing to sacrifice the tan for a day! Although I think I'll be saving it for the last few days of the holiday when I'm not quite as pale- a white swimsuit and pasty skin wouldn't be a great look.
