OOTD

Hello everyone!

It is March now! The time has gone by so fast. I only have 3 months left until my a-level exams, and I am stressing out big time! What calms me down the most, are Yankee candles. The fragrance is so strong and they last forever. I have recently bought those three candles, one jar and two votives. The fruity melon is a must-have this Spring!!

What I really wanted to talk about today was the outfits I wore last Thursday. Below is a picture of me wearing white jeans and a teal camisole. I wore that outfit to college that day. The jeans I am wearing were on sale in H&M for whooping £5!!! The camisole is from Primark, the gold chain is also from Primark. My nails are by Barry M in the colour Peach Melba. Excuse my dirty mirror, I didn't realise that I had so many fingerprints on it. It must have been my brother messing about with my sister and poking at things with their sticky fingers!!

Later on that Thursday, I was going out with my 3 close friends to a restaurant called Chutney. One of my best friend's father owned the place and they were having a Bollywood night. Me, being a great lover of Indian cuisine, was the first to get ready for this event! I have used all of my sparkly eye shadows and Indian bangles I have received for my 18th birthday. They were really hard to put on as they are meant to be tight around the wrist, so I had to moisten up my hand to get them on!! I wore my emerald and black lacy bodycon dress and black suede wedges.

That is it for today guys, I will try and post more but I really have no free time to do so as revision awaits me :( coursework deadlines also do not help!!

Lots of love,

March Wishlist

Hello everyone :)

In today's post I'm going to share with you a few items which are on my wishlist any why I really want to get them.

1) I really need a new purse as I broke the zip on my Louis Vuitton one, but then again I have had it for a while. At the moment I have a small brown purse from Primark and it is very cute and really good quality for the price. But I really want a new, big purse to go with my mew handbag. This white purse is from Burberry and is soooo glamorous but also soooo expensive :( I think I would have to save up for 3 months to get it!! It's very spacious, it has 4 separators for coins, notes, receipts and cards. Sounds perfect to me!

2) This Burberry scarf is gorgeous. It comes in different shades and patterns but this camel shade is my favourite and would match my Burberry bag. I have been looking around for a new scarf as well, as I'm pretty bored of my teal and gold one now.
3) My mum text me last night telling me to check out an online clothing store called 'sheinside'. I have immediately registered and added a few things to my shopping basket, including this cute bunny fashion t-shirt. It just describes me well. The well-dressed bunnies are so cute. I love bunnies. SEE!! This t-shirt is SO me! I need it in my life.
4) This Fiorelli bag is so pretty! It's from the SS 2014 collection, and it's a must have this season! I love pink as well. Pink is the way forward. I'm considering buying this bag as a treat to myself after my exams are over for all the hard work I have been doing :)

Lots of love,

Toiletries Update

Hey guys!

I recently went toiletry shopping because I was lacking hair care products! Obviously being me, I didn't just buy hair care products but also all the items I think I would need.

I was after a leave in hair conditioner which would leave my hair feeling soft and reduce the roughness of my split ends. I decided to get the Argan Oil leave in hair treatment in spray. I also got the Argan Oil hair mask for a weekly use to leave my hair looking more healthy. Then I saw the Argan Oil night serum for tired and dry skin so I thought that I might as well buy that to complete the set (I already have the hair oil), and also my skin needs some TLC at night as I don't feel like my moisturiser stays on the whole night. On the shelf above the Argan Oil products they had dry shampoos. I can't live without a good old bottle of Batiste! I was going to choose Batiste Tropical, but Treseme has caught my eye because it's in a form of foam?! I was shocked that they would make a foam dry shampoo as it would just make my hair wet? So I bought it!

Of course, every girl also needs some facial prpducts like face masks. I usually have some laying around my room but I couldn't find any last time I wanted to use it so I decided to buy a few more just in case I feel like exfoliating my face. Those face masks are some of my favourites as they come in two packs for under £1 each!

Ony way to the till I saw a few more products which caught my attention. I got the white nail tips from Nailene as I love having a French Manicure and I usually do it by myself. It saves money on acrylics! The last thing that I chose was Nair's facial hair roll-on wax. It's pink... Pink wax... haha my obsession has no end!!

Anyway, that's it for today :) Hope you're all doing okay!

Lots of love,

Review || Real Techniques Brushes

Hello everyone :)

I hope you're all okay an have been enjoying this half term, I certainly have! Upcoming mock exams are stressing me out too much!

In today's post I decided to review Real Techniques Core Collection brushes. I have heard so much about their brushes and thought I must have them! I bought the Core Collection which includes (l-r) pointed foundation brush, detailer brush, buffing brush and contour brush.

As you can see above, the brushes look quite elegant and professional, and at the price of £21.99 for a whole set with a brush stand/case it's an amazing bargain. I'm sorry about the brushes being dirty, I forgot to take some pictures when I first got them and ran out of brush cleanser so had to post those!!

Pointed foundation brush: I really like this brush, it let's me apply my foundation on very evenly and rubs in quite well, leaving my face looking very airbrushed and smooth. It's very soft in touch and it's shape allows me to use it all over my face, especially around small areas where my old foundation brush didn't let me.

The only downfall of this brush is that it's a bit too small for my liking and takes much longer to apply my foundation.

Detailer brush: I use this brush to apply concealer on my face as it's very small and handy. It allows me to blend the concealer onto the wanted area without rubbing my foundation off. It could also be used as a lip brush but I prefer to use it to apply concealer.

Buffing brush: I love this brush so much. It's the softest one of all and all I want to do with it is stroke my face because it feels like velvet! I use it to apply my powder and it spread it out evenly on my face and uses up quite a lot of the product so you only need about 3 dabs all over the face by dipping it into the powder once and you're ready to go.

Contour brush: I use this brush to apply blush or bronzer, because I prefer having orangey/brown cheeks rather than pinky/red because of my complexions. I usually contour my face around the cheekbones, forehead and jawline with this brush, but it I cannot be bothered or don't have enough time to do that then I use it just on my cheeks.

Here you can see the top of the brushes and what they look like. You can't really see the foundation brush as the buffing brush is so big, it's literally hiding it haha.

Hope this helps if anyone is unsure whether to buy this set or not :)

Love, Maya xo

Favourite item of the month

Hello my lovelies!

I wanted to do something new and decided to do one post a month of my favourite item at the time. I thought this would give me more post ideas and also I get to share my personal style with you as today's post is about my favourite earrings at the moment.
I got these from Primark about a month ago in the sale for £1. Obviously I was really excited to wear them for the first time and ever since, I barely change them for others. Last year was all about statement necklaces, but this year for me is all about the statement earrings! I especially really like the aztec print on the wings, it gives the earrings a somehow exotic look. The gem ib the middle makes them look very girly and maybe even quite formal?

Lots of love,
