Summer Top 5 | Lips

Carrying on from this post, where I ramble about my favourite summer nail polishes - it's time to follow up with what I've been reaching for the most for pretty summer lips...

Top 5 | French Skincare

The skincare world can be a baffling one to navigate at the best of times, from trying to figure out what your skin type is and finding the products to target that type, within your price range but still provides great quality results? Yeah. Mind boggling.

Luckily, this little roundup from French skincare brands should hopefully help you if you're in a pickle, especially as most of the brands offer varying products for different skin types.

Spring Top 5 | Nails

Much like lips - a pretty obvious way to easily switch up your looks is via your digits. Spring is probably the easiest way for me to embrace pastel shades as I can never seem to find the right shade of mint knitwear...

Spring Top 5 | Lips

When it comes to lips and colour - it's the one part of my makeup routine that isn't strictly a routine; I switch it up on a daily basis usually dependent on mood and quite frivolously, the weather outside.

Now that we're in Spring (I think it's quite British to moan about the weather and discuss it, but seriously we had five days of Summer the other day...) I'd thought I'd round up five of my current favourites for this time of year...

Top Three for Brows

I want to know when I became so brow obsessed. I can't even blame the beloved Cara Delevingne because this love affair happened before she hit the scene. That being said - I have three of my favourite products - all a little different, that keep my brows under control but still pretty damn awesome.

Cream Cleansers | Top Five

Cleansing is one of my favourite parts of the day - that might sound hideously sad but hear me out; it's the best feeling, I'll amend my statement to that, but cleansing just makes me feel so much better - whether it's first thing in the morning or in the evening taking off makeup, it seriously cannot be beat.

So without further ado; my top five (cream) cleansers that I just can't get enough of...

Lips | Autumn/Winter

Carrying on with the Autumn/Winter theme from yesterday, I thought I'd share my top five picks for Autumn/Winter lips...

Nails | Autumn/Winter

There is nothing I love more than (anally) organizing my nail polish collection on the best of days; factor in new seasons and then I'm a goner for at least an hour with my ikea storage. This year, I couldn't narrow it down to five - some aren't easily available anymore, some I've found ridiculously cheap online (but still great quality,) and so without further ado, my personal choice of seven Autumn/Winter ready nail polishes...

Autumn/Winter | H&M Top Picks

1//2//3//4//5//6//7//8

The first place I go to shop, be it online or in store is always H&M - I can't abide the queues and other madness in Primark, New Look styles are hit and miss sometimes - but the store that always hits the nail on the head for me is without a doubt H&M. 

Prices are good, quality is usually excellent. I'm always sold.

So before I gush anymore - I just want to talk through a few of my favourite pieces from some of their new stock - and it's usually stuff that I deem as a 'capsule closet.' 

I'll start with accessories because they are usually personal and everyone has their own tastes in terms of that kind of business.

My top three picks are; the pack of four hairbands - I use these a lot as even though my hair is fine I have a lot of it and it will usually need taming with a brush, detangling spray of some sort and either these style hair bands, or hair clips and ties. (5) 

Next up, the bag - oh the bag. I don't really need to explain it much further because - well I just love it. It's imitation leather, comes in this mole/nude/pink colour and also black. It's also under twenty pounds. Score. (4)

Lastly for accessories - a pack of rings. I love these for the variety of sizes/thickness - I know they won't last me long and I'll inevitably lose a few somehow - but they are great for completing an outfit. (8)

For shoes - or in this case trainers, I've got my eye on these shearling style lined high tops. I pretty much either wear flats/trainers/healed boots - that goes all year round and these will be perfect for horrendous Devon weather. (1)

Onto clothing and first up is a very simple night dress/slip - and no, not to wear out and about (although if you want to, go ahead, I ain't judging,) - I've bought all mine from H&M in the past and they are still going strong, I just don't have a black one. Need. (2)

I own a few of blouses like this, but the chiffon blouse has a much nicer cut than I've seen anywhere else so far. I'm totally digging the green and nude shades. I've also been wearing these kind of blouses in the hot weather when necessary - so they are really versatile. (3)

For trousers these loose-fitting (comes in three shades/varieties,) black trousers would look pretty amazing with heels or flats - for an evening out/work wear/anything... So I kind of warrant needing them in my life. (6)

Finally - the essential knit. The fine knit to be precise. Big, thick jumpers are alright (I only own one but it is the perfect cut for my shape,) but they usually tend to make me look like a box. I opt for a thin knit jumper instead and layer. This looks heavenly and I want/need it in all the three colours. (7)

So those are my picks from the H&M autumn collection - what are your favourites?

Peace!
