Brightside.

Top: Urban Outfitters, Necklace: H&M, Shorts: Topshop

I took these photos a while ago, so technically not todays outfit! I couldn't get the lighting right at the time, which is why they're a bit 'shopped! I don't have my tripod here in Scotland but I'm really missing blogging! Scotland is so peaceful, I'm not actually Scottish but I consider it my home. I've literally done nothing these past few days, it feels a bit like Autumn here so lying in bed reading and watching DVDs is completely justified! 

I think I'm going to get my hair cut tomorrow, I need it a bit shorter I think. I was planning on growing it but I think I'm just going to keep it short as I don't really suit long hair to be honest! If you want to see me with long hair, click here. Short or long?!

I had an abundance of new followers today, so thank you for following. I'm also on Twitter, where you can see my strictly happy tweets!

July Favourites: Part One.

I've decided to do my July favourites in two parts, the reason being that I'm at home in Scotland so I don't have all the products I usually use with me so I couldn't do a full selection, so I've picked a few things I bought with me that I've been loving recently and also a few I've picked up over the last few days.

I bought this Rimmel nail polish in Misty Jade recently as an alternative to Barry Ms Mint Green, it's slightly different, perhaps a bit more green than pastel but has a good finish. I sometimes think my Barry M polishes go a bit gloopy after awhile but I've never been massively keen on Rimmel polishes. I do like the quality of this, I think I've used three coats though, which is a lot. I hate painting my nails, after one coat I get restless! A lovely colour, it seems to have lasted well without chipping too.

I bought this Witch Blemish Stick after Lucy recommended it to me, I've never really been bothered about Witch products just because I like products which are a bit stronger and since I'm not particularly bothered about products being natural, this brand just didn't really appeal to me. However, this stick has really helped my skin recently. I like that it's clear so you can apply it continuously and it doesn't contain benzoyl peroxide so doesnt a) dye my clothing/bedding and b) dry my skin out after continued use. If you haven't already tried this, you definitely should!

Liz Earles Skin Repair Moisturiser for normal/combination skin has become my all time favourite moisturiser, I'm so glad I've finally found a moisturiser I want to stick to as up until now I've just used whatever I lay my hands on. This lives up to the Liz Earle hype, it's light and not at all greasy, absorbs in well, and works on my dry and oily areas. I'd definitely recommend the Liz Earle products if you haven't already tried them!

I often use MAC powder blushes, the one I use most often is Springsheen which I think is so much like NARS Orgasm. If I'm going away, I'll take Springsheen as it's a bit cheaper so I'm less likely to be gutted if I lose it or drop it. Its described as a peach with pearl sheertone shimmer. Probably one of my most used blushes.

Finally, I've been wearing my Chloe perfume lots as of late. It lasts so long, even days later I can smell it on my coat/clothes. If you're looking for an elegant, long lasting scent this is for you.

Wishlist #7: Escentual

I'm trying not to spend any money in preparation for London, but it doesn't stop me making little (okay, massive) wishlists at Escentual.com, I've never purchased from here before but I've heard good things and I love shopping different brands online. 

Most of the items I've chosen here are products/brands I've never tried before for various reasons, but I'd love to get my hands on. 

01. Clarisonic Mia; I've been after a Clarisonic for so long, I've seen such good reviews on them and I love the idea of a deep cleanse. The Mia is a smaller size, which is perfect for me as I always seem to be travelling. I love that they come in a variety of colours too. I wouldn't even know which one to choose, maybe the blue. 

02. Daniel Sandler Watercolour Blusher; I saw a review on this a while ago, and I'm yet to try it out. I do like powder blushers usually just because they're easier but I love the idea of this, it seems like it would be so natural and just giving a light "flushed" look. I can't chose between Cherub and Flush! Has anyone tried this product before?

03. Too Faced Look of Love Bag; this little collection is such a bargain, as most of the products are full size. I've got the Too Face Naked Eye palette which I love, and I think the quality is great but that's all I've tried from the Too Faced range really. I love that this set comes with everything you'd need, including a cute kabuki brush, mascara and makeup bag. It's definitely worth the £32 and something I shall be saving up for! 

04. Stila One Step Correct; Stila is another brand which has somehow bypassed me completely, although we now have it in my Boots so at least I can swatch and test. I like this idea of this corrector, especially as my skin is a bit awful at the moment. Something to smooth it over and take away any redness would go down well with me. I like the idea of primers, and I do have a few but I haven't really found one which really works with my skin. 

05. Clarins Daily Energizer Cream; This range had a massive launch, I wish I had bought one of the kits they were doing when the range first came out. I'm trying to stick to/use up the skincare products I have, but once I work my way through them, the Clarins Daily Energizer range is top of my list. I love the idea of radiant looking skin.
