Sophisticated Jumpsuit

Crop Top // FD Avenue 
Jumpsuit // FD Avenue
Converse // Office
Scarf // Primark 

I am not usually one for wearing more formal outfits, I always prefer to go for the casual comfy outfits. But I have recently been loving this black jumpsuit from the lovely store FD Avenue*, it is so comfy as it's made from this stretchy material. I would highly recommend this store as everything is such good quality and they offer celebrity dupes for many outfits. Because I am more of a casual girl I dressed it down slightly with a white crop top and my white high top converse which you all know I wear too much. Adding those pieces adds a sort of sports luxe to the outfit. I thought the outfit was looking a bit plain so I added a tribal patterned scarf, which I have to admit is more Autumnal than Spring esc but I love it all throughout the year, it passes right? I didn't want to add any jewellery to this outfit because I wanted to keep it somewhat sophisticated and minimalist.

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Polish | First Impressions

My nails were always really brittle and always peel, that's not good if as soon as your nails are lovely and long they break, which is what always happen to me. I have this weird thing with my nails that the first layer always peels off, does anyone else get that? So I decided to pick up this top coat that claims to strengthen your nails. It's the Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Strengthener. I picked it up from Boots for just £4.75, which I think is a great price even if it's just for a top coat.

I apply this just as a normal top coat over any coloured nail polish, and wait for it to dry. Overall it is a great top coat and has a really nice finish and shine to your nails. It helped my nail polish last a lot longer, I noticed without chipping. After 2 days there already seemed to be a difference in my nails and I do have to say they did seem to be getting stronger and they were no longer peeling as much. After I had removed it using my normal nail polish remover a week later, I  can honestly say my nails looked and felt a lot healthier. They don't bend or chip as easily which is a great benefit as they almost always used to bend and break. I also don't seem to get the weird peeling thing anymore either, which also is amazing!

If your considering buying this and thinking does it really work? then I suggest you pick it up and see if it works for you. Even if you don't notice a change in your nails like I did, it does make a great top anyway. I think this is an overall great product that really helped my nails.

Rimmel London | Brand Focus

Hello everyone and today I am back for yet another Brand Focus, I have recently been loving writing these sort of posts, I hope you like to read them! 

This brand focus is going to be based on Rimmel London, which in my opinion is a very hyped up drugstore brand. You hear more about Maybelline and Revlon these days. However Rimmel is still a good quality, affordable brand.

One thing I feel Rimmel is widely know for is their eyeliners. They offer a range of amazing well pigmented eyeliners. I have three: two liquids and one kohl. The first one I have is the Rimmel Scandal Eyes Liquid Liner in 'Black', if I am honest I don't really like this particular eyeliner. It has a really small nib, which is great for precision but not the easiest of applications. I also found it dried up really quickly and didn't last long at all. 

The next I have is the Rimmel London Exaggerate Liquid Liner , this is more of a runnier formula and because of that really glides onto the lids with easy application. I much prefer the nib on this, although it is fat you can altar the width of the line with ease. It is also jet black, stays on your lids and doesn't flake off.

The last eyeliner I have is the Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Kohl Eyeliner in 'Nude', I apply this on my waterline and it really helps brighten your eyes up and make them appear bigger. This isn't hard on you eyes it is a smooth application and glides well into your eyes and waterline.

Next I have the Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil in 'Ash', again this is another let down product for me. I don't like this pencil as it doesn't blend well and it isn't soft. It is a really hard pencil and doesn't come of well onto your brows unless you warm it up. Even after that personally on my brows doesn't give a natural look, but a drawn on look. I think I may have got the wrong shade though as many people seem to love it.

The most raved about product by Rimmel has to be their Stay Matte Pressed Powder. This is the only powder I use and I think it is an  amazing drugstore powder. Out of all of the powders I have used, this is by far my favourtie. I keeps your skin matte throughout the day and prevents excess oil build up. It also helps your makeup from creasing and stay on all day.

I them have a Rimmel Single Shadow in 'Jet Black', I use this shadow to sometimes set my eyeliner if I am wearing any on the waterline, I also like to smudge it out on my lower lash line. This shadow is well pigmented and is smooth to go onto the lid. However I do find it to be a little chalky textured when applying it. But all round I think for the shade I have it is an OK eye shadow, but nothing special.

Lastly I have a Rimmel Top Coat. I love this topcoat and will use it on its own too for school. It gives a really nice finish to any nail polish and it prevent your polish from chipping. When I don't wear this top coat I notice my nail polish I'm wearing will chip after a day, but when I wear it they can last for up to a week without chipping! I think this an amazing top coat for the price!

Overall I think Rimmel is an underrated brand and offers a lot of really good products, but then again some not so good but it's the same for all brands. I would recommend you try something out from Rimmel, although it isn't my favourite brand it might be yours. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed this post.

Polka Dot Dungarees & Frilly Socks

 Top // FD Avenue*
Polka dot dungarees // House of Jam*
Denim Jacket // American Eagle
Frilly socks // Topshop
Shoes // Schuh

Excuse my extremely pale legs I'm one of those people who doesn't tan easily, I turn more red than tan. Anyway the weather was so sunny. I decided to wear this gorgeous polka dot dungarees that I got sent by the lovely House of Jam*. It is amazing quality and is perfect for the upcoming months. I paired it with this plain white crop tee and I love the way it looks with it, it doesn't overpower the dungarees. For shoes I added some white frilly socks with the school inspired patent shoes, I think the frilly socks look so cute with the shoes and add to the School look. You could say this is a complete monochrome look. But because I didn't want it to be all black and white I threw on this denim jacket from American Eagle, it's slightly distressed so adds a hint of grunge to the outfit. I didn't add jewellery as I didn't think the outfit really needed it. 

I love this vintage style outfit for the Spring and Summer, you could even throw on a pair of tights and wear it in the winter! I hope you enjoyed this outfit post and Thank you for reading.
