Rimmel Lipsticks

Rimmel is my favourite brand when buying darker lipsticks, everytime I go to buy a different shade of 'plum' I always find myself back at the Rimmel stand. I'm pretty fussy when buying lip products, I used to be a bronze/nude type of girl but now I'm loving these 'plum' shades alot. I do like a high pigmented/matt colour and the price of the Rimmel lipsticks is reasonable but here's a few of my favourite linked below. 

(Top) Dark Night Water-Oops! 380 - Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lipstick - £6.49 

(Middle) Rossetto 107 - Rimmel Kate Moss Matt Lipstick - £5.49 

(Bottom) Electric Plum 300 - Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick - £6.49

Dark Night Water-Oops! - This is my newest addition and i'm in love with it. It's definitely the more 'plum' colour of them all, it's moisturising when applying so almost looks like a gloss when applied and it's also pigmented. The only bad point I would say about this is I did find myself topping up the colour but overall it's a great purchase for £6.49 you can't really complain for a drugstore lipstick. 

(Rossetto) 107 - I don't actually know if the colour is called 'Rossetto' but it's a very deep red, when applying it goes on matt no shimmer or shine to the lipstick, so when applying on your lips it does feel dry so maybe using vaseline might help if you like your lips moisturised. This is my favourite out of the three, personally it makes an outfit more complete  If you like deep matt shades then you should definitely give this one a try. 

Eletric Plum - This is the most lightest out the three so more of a day time look if you didn't want something to pigmented although when applying I do find that you can build the colour up. It is moisturising, the colour for me goes well with a smokey eye. Also you do have to top this colour up a lot unfortunately. 

Cosy up your feet

First of all, i cannot believe it's October already. Everyone seems to be talking about christmas and we haven't even had Halloween yet, but i'm super excited about both occasions one thing i'm not excited about is the change of weather. I would rather go around in a pair of shorts & flip flop but now it's time for the boots to come out same with the scarfs, hats and i'm sure you know the rest.

Normally for winter i would stick to wearing Ugg boots cause that's just me, I don't like change once I like something I stick to it.  This year however I seemed to have ventured out my comfort zone. Starting with these boots and socks.

Ankle Boots - Primark £8

Lace Trim Ankle Socks - Topshop 3 for £8 or £3.50 each

Knee High Pelerine Socks - Matalan £3

Heart Print Welly Socks - Matalan £3

The ankle boots have hardly been of my feet since I purchased them, tempted to buy an other pair just incase these ones get ruined with snow or rain I love them that much. For £8 you can't really complain they're a brilliant purchase and a nice start to my boot collection for winter. With the cold nights approaching socks are my new best friends, I'm enjoying wearing the ankle socks with a nice lace trim to them they look super cute with the ankle boots from Primark. Unfortunately I can't link the Ankle boots above as they still don't have a website but I did purchase them recentely so hopefully they're still in store. Also you can't help but buy some cosy knee high socks i've attached a few pictures of my favourite above with links where I purchased them. For walking about the house I like to wear slippers and now that it's colder, fluffy slippers are very much an essential for me. These ones below are from Next, when looking for them online I didn't come across them but they do have a very good collection of slippers, so defintely worth having a look. 

Family Holiday

This time last week I would of been arriving back in the UK after spending a lovely week in Mallorca with my Mum, Brother, Fianće & my daughter. It was a much deserved holiday after waiting a year after my daughter was born to go. We wanted to wait when she was one to go abroad, and I think we planned it well. It was her first time being on a plane and going to and from Mallorca she fell asleep and she coped extremely well with the heat. The time difference was only an hour apart from Aberdeen which meant she still had her usual afternoon nap. We hired a Villa for a week with a pool, which was amazing to jump into when we were too hot. 

It was lovely to enjoy some hot weather especially when Aberdeen was getting slightly colder at nights. Apart from chilling at the Villa we visted the Safari Zoo, when arriving it looked deserted but the animals were all out to see, my favourite part was seeing the lions and tigers they were so close to see which is different from the other safari/zoo's I've been to. We also went to Marineland which is full of different sea animal, parrots, monkeys, snakes and much more. This was probably everyone's favorite place we went to and did while we were at Mallorca. We were all blown away with the Dolphin show, I don't know about anyone else but it always make me happy when leaving that type of shows.  

I can't comment on the shopping malls as we didn't really venture out unfortunely, we spent a lot of time playing cards, relaxing or jumping in the pool at the villa. We did go to a "British" food place which you can't beat having your own type of food i.e fish and chips with tomato sauce. We also went to Hard Rock Cafe and I couldn't help myself but purchase a Hard Rock Cafe jumper. 

Overall my trip to Mallorca was lovely,  weather was just perfect I would definitely go back again to get away and relax, and it was also a perfect first holiday for my daughter. My future hubby and I were very proud parents.
