Yes, yes I know you’re not meant to wear makeup to school
but I also know that some people especially teenagers suffer with confidence
issues and having a bit of makeup on can make you feel better.
So here is my guide to wearing subtle makeup to school that
no one will notice but will just give you that extra bit of confidence, that we
all need from time to time.
Today I’m reviewing one of
the best skincare products I’ve used in years; Benton Snail Bee High Content Sheet Mask Packs. And yes before you ask yes they do have snail secretion and bee venom in
them.
I know, gross right?!
But honestly once you get over the weirdness of that fact,
they are essentially a relaxing sheet mask full of natural ingredients that are
great for you skin.
I’ve been using them for a week and half and here are my
thoughts so far:
I really only have positive things to say about this
product, they feel just like other sheet mask, although I would say the fit is
slightly better around the eyes, lips and nose on these than on other ones I
have used.
The formula itself is unscented and feels quite thick on the
mask meaning there was plenty extra to do my neck and decolletage as well. The instructions
on the pack say to leave it on for 30mins but I left mine in for an extra 10 to
really let the ingredients get to work.
It was lovely to sit and relax for a bit whilst it was on
and once the time is up, I simply removed the mask and rubbed in the excess. My face felt a little tacky at first but by
morning it was beautifully soft and I did think that my skin looked a little
firmer with fewer fine lines.
But by far the best thing about this face mask is IT HELPED
MY ACNE!
I have tried a lot of products in the last few and I had
kind of given up recently because nothing was working and skin was getting
worse L
it was actually starting to depress me.
However before used this I had a large cystic acne spot the
side of my cheek and a couple of quite big spots around my chin as well and I
honestly assumed that using this mask would aggravate them. But to my surprise when
I got up in the morning the two spots were near enough gone and the cystic one
was noticeably smaller!
I thought this might have been a fluke so I waited to use
another last night when I had quite a large painful blemish coming up right in
the centre of the chin and I got the same result. It was so small (and not
painful anymore) I almost thought it had disappeared completely.
I will definitely be using the rest of these and ordering
more, I hope these results keep up but I let you know if they stop being a
little miracle.
If these are something that you’re interested in you can get
them from
Amazon 10 masks for around £14.00.
I hope you get the same results!

It's time for another instalment of designer dupes and boy do I have a doozy for you! This week I've been tirelessly searching for footwear that resembles the stunning Gianvito Rossi Plexi Pumps.
These shoes are truly in a league of their own, completely unique and stunning. This has by far been the hardest dupe to find but thankfully I did succeed.
Office
My biggest success was without a doubt from Office with these beautiful plexi and suede shoes in
Nude,
Black and and even a
Flat Version for those of you like more who aren't fond of height or blisters.
Starting from just £45.00 you'd have to be a fool not to take advantage of these chic replicas.
Paper Dolls
If colour is more your thing then why not hunt a pair of these Paper Dolls heels with coloured toes, cream back and gold heel. These are certainly statement shoes and will add a touch of pizzazz to any outfit.
You can find the
Orange Heels on ASOS right now for only £25.00 but be quick they're selling fast!
I'm still trying to decide which pair are going to grace my closet but I'll let you know which ones I chose.

The wedding season is upon us and it’s time to start
planning your outfit, whether you’re the bride, a bridesmaid or a guest you’ve got
to look the part.
Of course there’s also budget to consider as weddings are
expensive for everyone involved and the last thing you want to do is blow all
your money on a dress, especially if your day has a strict budget or you want
to show up with a big present.
Thankfully Missguided has just launched their new wedding
range called
Missbrided (how perfect is that?) all of which are reasonably
priced and drop dead gorgeous.
The Bride
I told you they were stunning and this is just a selection
of my favourite three! They range from £85 to £150 which is certainly better
than forking out thousands at a bridal shop. I adore the simple designs and
thing they would make any bride feel as beautiful as possible on her wedding
day.
I would order now though if you want one; I don’t see these
babies hanging around.
Bridesmaids
For a unique take on bridesmaid’s dresses you can’t go wrong
with Missguided! They have a whole heap of full length frocks that are bound to
knock your socks off. None of which will break the bank and all of which can be
worn again.
What more could you ask for?
Wedding guests
Attending a wedding means look fabulous and chic without
upstaging the bride, which is sometimes not an easy task and you can end up
trawling the high street for hours looking for the perfect outfit.
However I can pretty much guarantee you’ll find a dress that
will suit your figure, complement the style of ceremony and make you feel
amazing!
I’ve only picked out a few dresses that I think are great
from the
collection, why not take a gander yourself. You don’t want to miss out
on one of these lovely must have wedding looks.
This the second installment of my designer dupes series and
this week we’re going to be focusing on a handbag that I have been lusting
after for quite a while now; the Chloe Drew Leather Across Body Bag.
I adore the saddle bag style with the chain detail and the
ease of being able to wear it across your body, what I don’t love about it is
the £1,140.00 price tag!
So I’ve trawled the online retailers to find you guys (and
myself) the closest design to this designer handbag. Hope you like them.
Dirty Little Style Bitch
This is nearest I came to a replica of the actual bag. It has
the same shape and clasp, the only thing that is noticeably different is the
gold chain strap and the material. Other than that I think this bag is stunning
and
The Chloe will only cost you £19.99.
Accessorize
I love the colour range in these bags and I think they are
perfect for jazzing up any boring day outfit. If you want to keep it simple but
timeless then these are the ones for you.
The Jodie Saddle Bag will cost you a
mere £32.00 but be quick I don’t think these babies will hang around long.
ASOS
Of course ASOS would have what I was looking for, it fact they had
three, all with a unique spin! One from
Fiorelli at £42.00 and two from
ALDO
for £45.00. These gorgeous pieces are bound to you noticed.
If you’ve seen any bags that resemble the Chloe Drew Bag or
any other dupes let me know! I love a good bargain.

The lure of designer shoes (or shoes in general) is so strong that sometimes I wonder how I manage to resist and then I remember that I'm not a celebrity, a trust fund baby and my job isn't exactly bringing in the big bucks. Sigh...
So for everyone in the same boat as me; lusting after designer footwear we'll probably never be able to afford, I thought I 'd find a selection of the best dupes online. Style without the hefty price tag.
Taking top place in my must have designer shoe list has to be the Valentino Rockstud.
I get pleasure just looking at these tasty morsels but there is unfortunately no way I can justify the £600 + for my very own authentic pair. However I have found some very appealing lookalikes from ASOS and Dune.
C'mon admit it these are drop dead gorgeous and rather than being a knock off they can have the very classy title of being an homage to the beautiful designs from Valentino. Plus a pair of these will only set you back
£75.00.
If you're worried about the heel height then fear not! There's also a flat version; oh Dune you spoil us.
I fell so hard in love with them that I immediately treat myself to the
white and nude pair. You will not be disappointed with these bad boys, I wear mine constantly and they just scream class and sophistication (what more could you want from a shoe?). Well worth the £70 I paid.
For a slightly more fashion forward version ASOS have got you covered with their brilliant range of
SECRETS Pointed heels.
No matter the colour the daring design is bound to turn some heads, not to mention that if like me you're a little like Bambi on ice when it comes to walking in heels you won't have to worry. You'll be able to walk around embarrassment free and comfortable all day. There's one thing you'll like more than the sensible heel height and that's the impressive price tag of just £40.
I hope you love my dupe choices as much as I do. Keep tuned as I'll be tackling another pair of designer heels next month.
