Secret Santa gift

I don't celebrate Christmas but me and my friends did do secret Santa. I still don't know who my secret Santa is but my amazing friend got me a couple of gifts after finding out I was hers.

I can't thank her enough because she got me some of the best gifts ever (I'm actually going to send her a couple of things because she really didn't have to do this)

casual/simple outift & face of the day

Today i'm just spending the day with my cousin and the rest of her family. Which is why I went for minimal make-up and a simple comfortable outfit. The Zara leggings are absolutely amazing, they are high waisted so it tucks in any problem areas (yes i'm talking love handles and stomach) also they are so thick that they can be worn as pants. Makeup was simple just foundation, mascara and a Ysl rouge volupte sheer which is like wearing a tinted lip balm

My outfit
Jumper: Primark
leggings: Zara

For makeup:
benefit porefessional
Bare minerals foundation powder- matte
Korres lip butter- wild rose
YSL rouge volupte sheer in 005 'mouthwatering berry'
Maybeline falsies mascara
Blink eyebrow gel

The lazy/busy girls guide to dressing up + DIY dry shampoo

Unless i'm in the mood to dress-up I never really put the effort of going to the salon, doing my hair, makeup, waxing etc. It's a weekday, I have 2 essays to do and a very formal dinner tonight. So to get my work done I didn't spend much time getting ready. The first thing that cut my time is that I showered the night before and braided my hair before going to bed and then let out the braids half an hour before I had to leave ( the more braids the smaller the sections = the tighter the curls), sprayed some hairspray and that was my hair done. For make-up I just did my everyday face make-up, added a bold lip colour and lined my eyes. I left time to go to the salon but I took longer than I expected so instead of wearing a dress I wore a jumper tucked into a skirt and tights. That way I had no reason to get a wax  (you could also wear a dress just add tights and a jacket).Also adding heels and jewelry will instantly make an outfit look more put together and formal.

My outfit:
skirt: Garage
Jumper: Topshop
Nude heels: Kurt Geiger
Korres lip butter - wild rose
YSL liquid eyeliner
Tom Ford lipstick - Violet fatale 
perfume: escentric molecules 01

DIY dry shampoo

If you didn't take a shower and don't know what to do here's a recipe for dry shampoo and you'll find most of these things in your home.

 you'll need:
1tsp baking/bicarbonite soda
1tsp corn starch/flour
1tsp rubbing alcohol 
1fl oz/ 29.5ml warm water




combine all the ingredients then add the mixture to a spray bottle. spray and massage into your hair. Brush out your hair and leave it natural or you can simply braid/twirl 2 small sections from the top of your head and secure it onto the back of your head with either a clip/bow/bobby pins.

Book haul!

I got gifted a £10 Waterstones gift card, and bought myself a couple of books. I have always
been a fan of Laduree's desserts so being able to have their recipes is great (especially their macaroon and french toast recipe). I also got Lisa Faulkner's recipe book 'recipes from mother to daughter', 'street fashion photography' which is a  collection of all things street style and 'The Girl' a memoir about the Roman Polanski rape case.

I will probably review these books in the future but if there's a certain one you would like a review of, please comment down below.
