Topshop haul! XxX

Hiya everyone! Today I am going to show you some Topshop items that were kindly given to me (again!) These clothes are more autumnal/wintery but they are more casual and definitely my sort of style. Here are the tops that I was given, hope you enjoy!

Vests

I really like these vest tops because they are very flattering yet suitable for everyday wear.

 Smarter wear

Firstly, I absolutely love black clothes, but I love these because they are really feminine and fun.

 Cardigan

This cardigan has a lovely feather print and I love the batwing sleeves.

Crop Tops

I wear crop tops on a regular basis, so these are perfect for me. I love the neutral colours too.

Favourite Spring/Summer Scents! xx

Hiya everyone! I only just realised that I have never written a post about scents/perfumes, so I thought that I would talk to you about  it today! My favourite brand is NSPA because their scents smell so natural, fresh and strong! The packaging also says that the product contains natural minerals that are good for your skin! Here are my favourite scents, hope you enjoy!

 The scents I have are:
-Passion Fruit
-Mango
-Strawberry
-Shea Butter
-Coconut
-Clementine

Overall I really recommend these perfumes/scents because they are so inexpensive! Please check out all of my links around my page, and leave a comment saying what your favourite perfume is! See you soon, Gracie xx

Eyeshadow Palette First Impresions! xx

Hiya everyone! So I received few new eye shadow palettes recently, so I decided that I would talk about all of them at the same time. You may have seen these products in my 'Birthday Haul', but it has taken me some time to start using them! Here are my first impressions!

W7 'Lightly Toasted' Palette

Lots of people say that this pallete looks like the Urban Decay'Naked' pallete, but if I am honest I don't see that much resemblance in looks. I haven't actually tried the 'Naked' palettes yet though, so I can't compare them by the product. However, I actually really like this! The shadows look really sparkly in the palette, but when you apply them onto your eyelids they just leave a beautiful sheen rather than looking really glittery and chunky, which I personally prefer. Using this palette, you can create natural, everyday looks and evening looks. You could just get this pallete and never need another again! My favorite shades are Happy, Cracker, Twister and Teddy Bear. And it comes with a nice brush, which is a bonus!

Academy of Colour 'Nudes Volume 2' eye shadow collection

This palette looks more like the 'Naked' palettes in my opinion! This palette contains more neutral shades and mattes than the previous one, so this is perfect for everyday. I love to pair this and the W7 palette together, and use the 'Academy of Colour' palette as a base and in my crease, and then a shimmery shade on top from the other palette. Thee shadows are a bit less pigmented, but they blend extremely well and are so creamy! The brush included is really good as well, and I love the packaging because it is so thin! My favourite shades are the first four on the left (they don't have any names.)

Thank you for reading my first impressions, and please check out my last two posts if you haven't already done so! I also have an Instagram, and that is @graciepastelpink , so go and follow me there too! Hope you have a nice day,  Gracie xx

Snow Angel Bath Melt Review! oxox

Hiya everyone! So I'm sorry that I didn't post anything on Wednesday, that is because I want to post on weekends instead when I have more time. Hope you don't mind! Anyways, throwback to my first post, I am going to be reviewing another bath bomb. This is called the 'Snow Angel' bath melt. I got this as a part of a Christmas present, and I believe it is part of the Christmas collection too. Here is my opinion of it, I hope you enjoy!

Buy it here: https://uk.lush.com/products/scrubs-butters

Looks:
I had to split this category into two sections because I had very different opinions!
Before Bath: 9/10
I thought that the 'Snow Angel Looked really pretty and festive when I got it out of the packaging. It was white on one side, and on the other it was gold and glittery. I also loved how it was shaped like a little angel with a halo and wings. 
Look in bath: 6/10
It may have been just me, but for some reason when I put it in the bath, my bath turned green. I don't know if that's what supposed to happen or not, but it did. I thought it might have been because I only used half of the 'Snow Angel', but let me know if this has happened to you. 

Scent: 7/10
The 'Snow Angel' bath melt had the usual undertone of any Lush product, but it was mostly a fresh, clean scent. This is good if you are into subtle scents, but if you like a stronger scent, maybe you could try 'Granny Takes a Dip' or 'Ickle Baby Bot'.

Overall, this is a nice bath melt if you like basic, scents and can get over the green tub. Leave a comment below saying what you think of this! Also, I would like to say thank you for 800 page views! I never thought that anybody would like to hear what I have to say, and it means a lot to know that I have people that like what I do. Please keep reading my posts, I will keep trying to make them better and better!
See you soon,

Yay or Nay- Nivea Sweet Lips gift set xox

Hiya everyone! So I'm back on blogging now, and I got a brand new camera! This means that my photos will be in better quality and my overall webpage will look cleaner! A few week ago I started a new series of mine called Yay or Nay- which is my reviewing system for products. I haven't done one of these in a while so I thought it was time for another. Today I am reviewing the Nivea 'Sweet Lips' gift set tin, which includes 4 full sized products. Here is what I think of the set!

Products included:

~2x Nivea Lip Butters: Coconut and Vanilla & Macadamia. Creamy and Strongly scented. When I open the tin, the product smells really scrumptious!

~Nivea 'Pearly Shine' Tinted Lip Balm. Gives a shiny, pink finish. Moisturising and shimmery.

~Nivea 'Essential Care' Lip Balm. Very thick, extremely moisturising. Fave lip balm!

Packaging:

This set comes in a pink, hearts gaped metal tin, of which you can remove the label and re- use the tin as something else. I think this is super cute and I will be using this to store different lip products in. This would be a great gift for someone, and the tin would make the present feel really special and unique. Overall I give it a ***** 5 stars for packaging!

Pigmentation:

Now, obviously a lip balm or butter doesn't usually contain any pigmentation, but the 'Pearly Shine' lip balm is tinted. The product gives off a shimmery, subtle pink shade; perfect if your lips need a bit of TLC but you still want a bit of colour on the lips. Overall, because there is only one coloured product, I give the pigmentation *** 3 Stars!

Lasting Power:

In my opinion, I think it is really important for a lip balm/butter to last on the lips. Otherwise, I usually end up applying loads throught the day and using up all of the product! These lip balms give moisture that sinks into the lips, making your lips feel smooth without the thought of anything being there. I usually reapply about twice a day. Overall I give these a **** 4 stars for lasting power!

Finish:

When I wear these, it looks like I am wearing a clear gloss (especially the 'Essential Care'). I like the fact that you can put these on top of a lipstick for a shiny lip look that will not dry out. The 'Pearly Shine' Lip balm looks great on top of a pink lippie! Overall I think that **** 4 Stars is a good score for the finish!

My final opinion of this is that it is a very cute set of full-sized lip products. This would be a great gift for someone who is just starting out in makeup, or a lip balm-hoarder like me! The Nivea 'Sweet Lips' set is a YAY!

Thanks for reading this post, and in the new year I hope to post more for you all! Leave comments down below of anything that you would like to see me write about, but for now I'll see you next time. Lots of love, Gracie xxx

Festive Make Up Look! Xxx

Hiya everyone! So I haven't done a tutorial or makeup look in a while, so I thought I would bring you a Christmas-related look! I know this is just a typical look for this time of year, but I thought it was much different to the other looks I have done in the past. You could wear this to a Christmas party, family get-together or even Christmas day itself! I hope you enjoy, let's get right in with it! 

1) Prep the skin, I used my Re-Gen mouisturiser to do so.

2) Using your favourite primer, in my case the L'oreal 'Nude Magique Blurring Primer', apply all over the face. Concentrate this on the T zone, or anywhere that your makeup might slide off.

3) Use a Bb Cream or Foundation with a dewy finish to counteract any winter dryness that this season produces. Then apply a concealer under the eyes and on a my blemishes.

4) I usually do my brows next, so I am using my Revolution eyeshadow pallete to fill them in. After this I brush  the Maybelline 'Brow Drama' through to keep the hairs in place. I also find that this makes the brows look more natural because it makes the hairs more visible.

5) For eyeshadow, I always start with a cream shade all over the lid and up under the brow for a great base. Then apply your silver shadow, for me I used the Flutter Cosmetics single eyeshadow in 'Silver'. Ensure this is blended nicely, and you may also want to intensify the colour more at the lash line.

6) Apply a black pencil liner over the lid and wing it out. Then, using a pencil brush, smudge the liner out and under the eye of you wish. This step is not crucial, but it looks great if you are going for a more party/smokey look.

7) Finish the eyes by curling your lashes and applying 2 coats of mascara.

8) For a highlight, apply a champagne shade to the cheeks, bridge of nose, Cupid's bow and inner corners. This will give you a healthy glow for the Christmas season.

9) Finally, add a red lip to finish the look!

I hope you enjoyed this post, and please leave any suggestions for posts in the comments below! Have a great Christmas, and I'll see you in my next post.

Festive wishes,

Topshop haul! Xxx

Hiya everyone! A few days ago, a friend kindly gave me a few items of clothing that she didn't need and I really liked. So I decided to show you them all today! Also, not all of them are seasonal, but I thought I'd add them all in anyway because why not?! And again, because they were given to me, I cannot say how much they were. So, here is what I got (special notice to my uber-fancy Christmas tree!)

Probably my favourite items of the haul, these are my coats. On the left is a green lightweight, thin coat with leather sleeves. It actually gives more warmth that you would think and it's very seasonal! I love the look of this and I think it's great if you want a coat to take around with you but don't want to carry around a bulky object. On the right is a tan-coloured coat with buttons and a collar. I like this because it looks really smart and put-together, but again is really lightweight like the green one. This would be perfect if you were going out for dinner or going to work.

Next are some dresses, which are mostly for this time of year. In the top left, I have a black pencil dress. It fits really comfortably on me, however it does make my behind look a little large (and no, I'm not just doing a weird pose lol). The top right dress is more of a holiday piece, but I like it because it is really long and flowy. The material is really soft and it fits well on me. Next, the bottom left dress is like a sundress; elasticated at the top and loose at the bottom. Again, this would be perfect for a holiday or just any day out. For the bottom right, I think I am going to wear this for Christmas because of the colours and I just really like it! The top section is comfy and fitted and the bottom fits like a skater skirt. Love it!

These tops are mostly for the summer because they fit over a crop top or vest top. The top left is more of a vest but it is very open so I paired it with this black top. In the top right is a tighter best in a cranberry shade. Colourwise, I think it could be a seasonal wear but it is too short for winter in my opinion. My favourite of the three is the bottom left though, I love the lace and bow, and I think that it goes really well with the top I wore. It's so cute and looks really unique!! In the bottom right are some jumpsuits that didn't fit me but I liked so much that I had to include them. The one on the far left is a black lace strapless one, and the middle on e is the exact same but in a floral pattern. On the far right is a shorter design with straps and a lime green floral pattern.

And finally, I have 2 outfits which I would wear if I was going out to a party or a celebration. The left look is a combination of a pink, wavy-edged vest and a floral kimono. I think this looks really feminine and girly, and I love it! Kimonos make a great finishing touch to any look and I highly suggest you get one! On the right is a one-sleeve pleated top, made of a flowy, thin material. This would be perfect for a disco or night out and I think it looks really sophisticated! Cute!

Thanks so much for reading this post, I spent a really long time this week making this! Please leave me comments below on what you would like to see next, and I hope you have a nice day lovelies!

Chanel Lipstick and Mascara Review xx

Hiya everyone! So recently I received some testers of the Chanel 'Rouge Coco' lipsticks and the 'Le Volume Ultra-Noir De Chanel' mascara. This is going to be a review, meaning I will tell you what I think and whether I would buy the real product or not. I wanted to test them to see if I wanted the real thing, and here is what I think of them! 

Rouge Coco Lipsticks:

Firstly, let's just talk about the packaging! Beautiful! When I first opened these, I thought that you wouldn't get much product in the package. But after an application, I realised that a little goes a long way. I used the shade 'Roussy', which was a pretty baby pink shade. The lasting power was good, it lasted a little while but then left a slight tint to the lips. I really want to try 'Emilienne' for a cute fall colour! Also, I found the tiny little brush really handy for application of the product. Overall, I like these but I don't know if I would pay the price for them since the lasting power was not amazing.

Chanel 'Le Volume Ultra Noir De Chanel' mascara:

I find that normally all tester mascaras are the same, but this one was very unique. The brush was thick and had tiny little bristles, which I really liked. I curled my eyelashes and applied a single coat and achieved a fluttery, natural look. Normally, I like my lashes to look long and separated, but this mascara tops them all! My lashes look so long yet so natural and I love it! On top of this, it holds a curl all day and I didn't really need to use a curler! The formula is thin and wet, meaning there is no clumps and the product coats every lash easily. Overall, I would definitely recommend this to all lovers of a fluttery lash like me, but if you prefer a more full, thick lash then maybe this isn't for you.

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed this post and I would like to write about more high-end makeup products soon! Please let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions on my blog because I'd really appreciate it! Have a great day, Gracie xox

Primark Homeware Rave!! Xx

Hiya everyone! So I know it is not a Wednesday (sorry about that) but I wanted to post at a different time to see when you guys are most active. Recently, I have been absolutely LOVING the Primark homeware range, so I thought that maybe you might be interested to hear about it. I know that I talk about Primark/Drugstore products a lot, but basically I just don't always feel the need to buy expensive products all the time when I can find the same things for less. And I am still quite young compared to other YouTubers, so I don't need lots of expensive products. I'm not saying that high-end products aren't good though, every now and then I like to treat myself to a new lipstick or mascara! Anyways, here's some pretty room décor!

                                  

                                 

 

All of these were very low priced and great quality. These decorations have completely revamped my room, and I love the cute quotes that they contain. Currently, I am in the process of redecorating my room, so these have really helped my room to look fab!

See you soon,

G
