Thomas Sabo Lip Gloss Balm

I've never been much of a lip gloss person. It also annoyed me when my hair would blow and get stuck in my lips and the sticky feeling was something that would drive me crazy. 

Lately I've been finding myself enjoying the glossy lip look more. When digging in my collection recently I found this one. I was lucky enough to get this when I went to a Cardiff Bloggers Meet a while back.

Thomas Sabo is somewhere I would never think to go for make up but I am huge fan of their jewellery. I have 4 of the beaded charm carriers and one charm bracelet. I love how you can change the charms to match outfits and most of mine have a story behind them.

The Thomas Sabo lip gloss only comes in one shade. They also sell a lipstick version which I'm going to have to try next time I go in store. The lip gloss in a red shade but isn't really pigmented and is more of a shiny over lipstick gloss.

I really like the black and white striped lid. This matches the perfume bottle. Black and white is always a great classic combination.

It really does feel super soft on the lips and my lips don't feel like they are sticking together (that's the worst thing about the Soap and Glory Sexy Motherpucker Gloss).

It gives such a pretty glossy colour to bare lips and is great for everyday. It's a great colour to pair over most lipsticks to make them glossy.

It is priced at £10.75 which for me seems a lot for a gloss. I always think of lip glosses being cheaper than lipsticks. Maybe I'm just tight!

Have you tried this?

OOTD Jeans and Lilac Lace Top

Today I've got another OOTD post to show you. I've decided to do them a different way so it makes it easier to see the clothes.

I absolutely love this outfit. It's simple and girly and great for now the weather is getting a little bit warmer. The bag you'll probably see featured a lot. It's from Matthew Williamson's butterfly range for Debenhams. It's a perfect everyday bag. I'm eyeing up this one for summer. It's such great quality and worth the extra money!

I mentioned this necklace in a previous OOTD (seen here). I love the simplicity of this it goes with everything and is easy to throw on. It's From Sphere of Life.

Both of these are from New Look. I love the colours of these and the cute bow details on the cardigan. I like to add the lace top to casual outfits to add a bit of interest. I really like the lace on this one as I find some can look cheap.

If I wear silver jewellery I usually wear my Thomas Sabo charm bracelets. They are easy to pair on without thinking about. I love the little charms, most of them have a special meaning. 

The jeans are also from the OOTD linked above! As you can tell they are a firm favourite! I love the fit.

All finished off with my Primark brogues! These are so perfect for spring! I need another pair!

On my nails is Essie Aruba Blue. (seen here)

I'm so glad the weather is starting to brighten up a bit and I can wear nicer things!!

OOTD Casual Jeans

For a while now I've been wanting to do OOTD posts. I've been trying different ways to take photos to do some. Hope you don't mind the mirror photos.

This is one of my casual weekend out fits. I love my jeans turned up. These are from target. I find these are the best jeans for me and they fit amazing. I know order these jeans via eBay as I love them that much. You lucky American's with your amazing skinny jeans. I can get them for around £10-£30 posted from eBay. The brand is Mossimo. (here are eBay's current offering)

I own so many black vests. This one if from Dorothy Perkins. My favourite ones are from Select.  These are the ones I favour.You can never have enough in my opinion. I wear them all year round. My rings are stackable ones from Avon. I love adding a bit of sparkle with these. I tend to layer my clothes a lot. I love the deep V on this New Look Jumper. I do tend to pick up quite a few of my basics from there. Matalan have a similar jumper here for £10

It's taken me a long time to embrace the brogue trend. They tend to look amazing on others but I just couldn't find a pair I liked. I spotted these in the sale section of primark for £4. They have gotten really grubby so I need to find a new pair. I love the lower front on these, New Look have a similar pair in black here.

If I have on silver Jewellery I'll usually be wearing one of my Thomas Sabo bead bracelets. I love these. I was lucky to get most of these for my 21st birthday and my Other half gets me one for most occasions now. Most of them have a meaning behind them which I love. They go with so much too.

I've been after an easy to wear short every day necklace for a while. This one is from The Sphere of Life. I was lucky enough to win it in a blog compitition from Jenny who runs the The Pulse Of Fashion. Jenny has the most amazing style and I love her OOTD posts. I love that this has a little heart floating in it which is gold on one side and red on the other. It's simple but perfect. You can find the full range here. It comes in great packaging so makes great gifts.

That's my casual weekend outfit. Hopefully we will get some more sun soon so the dresses can come out.
