Haul!❄️💓

Hello and welcome back to my blog!
So today I went to topshop and primark to buy some clothes as I got a lot of Christmas money. Here's what I bought!

From primark I bought this gorgeous light pink blouse for £8, it's perfect for putting underneath jumpers too!

I also got this rose gold watch from primark for £5! It's so good for £5! It's slightly big but it's still fine to wear.
I also got these midi rings for £1.50! They are such good quality and I love them.
I also got these super cosy socks that have a fluffy inner lining. They also have grip on the bottom. They're amazing! They were £2!

I got this blouse from topshop for £10 (in the sale) it clearly needs ironing haha! But it's perfect for putting under jumpers!
I got this mint green jumper from topshop for £25 (originally £45) it's so soft and comfy. It's a gorgeous mint green colour.
I got this three quarter length pink top and it's so soft! It's got a very soft geometric pattern on it but it's hardly noticable. 
 
Thankyou for reading my blog! 
Hope you enjoyed reading too!

Love

Extra: I am currently face timing the marvellous Alex.

Favourite Drugstore Lipsticks ❄️

Helloooo! Today I thought I would show you my favourite lipsticks! I have 4 favourites that are all from the drugstore.
First is my Kate Moss Matte lipstick in 107 (which actually appeared in my last blogpost!) it's such a gorgeous dark red colour. I 100% blame Zoella for this purchase.
Next is my bonjouris rouge edition lipstick in the shade 02. It's actually quite a pinky nude but this picture doesn't do it justice. It's such a wearable everyday colour.
This is my No7 Mouisture Drench lipstick in the shade mulberry. First of all I am IN LOVE with the name! This colour is a very berry type of pink that I love!
And last but certainly not least is my Revlon lip butter in the shade peach parfait. Revlon lip butters are like lip balms with a more stronger tint than tinted lip balms (if that makes sense!). They are a mix between a lip balm and a lipstick basically. This one gives such a pretty sparkly peachy tint!

Thankyou for reading my blog!
My next blog will probably be a haul as I'm doing a spot of cheeky shopping later!!

Favourites 💗

Hello! 
Howdy!
Knochiwa!
Welcome back to my blogggggg!

Excluding the weird intro this may be am interesting blog for you all as it's coming to Christmas, some of my favourites might be down on your Christmas wish list? I hope!

This pallet is my pride and joy not even going to lie! I've done a whole blogpost on this so if you want to read that I will leave a link here ~ http://daniellejcarty.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/review-naked-basics-pallet.html?m=1

But it's basically very beautiful.
So a few weeks ago I was like "I really need a new hairbrush" because I do. And my mum had £11 on her boots card and I was very happy as tangle teezers are 10.99! So I bought one  and I'm so pleased with it! Mine Is an original one.

Next is my collection lasting perfection concelar and it's so good! Honestly I feel like I'm leading a new life with this on y face. It's really blend able and just affordable.
Lastly is my rimmel kate moss lipstick in '107'. I saw Zoella wearing this and I just had to get it! Possibly my favourite lipstick!
Will upload a makeup look with this on to show more detail!

Thankyou for reading! Do you want any of these products?

Review: Naked Basics Pallet

Hello! Welcome back to my blog!
Recently I went shopping and was desperate for some high end eyeshadow. So I popped into debenhams and went over to the Urban Decay counter. The woman tried some makeup on me and included the naked basics pallet too.
I was in love and had to buy it
Shoutout to the woman who put the makeup on me.

I just love this pallet! The eyeshadows are so pigmented, if you accidentally brush your hand against the eyeshadow it shows up so much!
They are so easy to blend too.
The colours in this are gorgeous and just what I needed as I don't like any other eye makeup colours, only neutral.
I'm in love with this pallet and it was £20 which I think it quite good bearing in one the other naked pallets are £37!

I would highly reccomend this pallet! Let me know what you think in the comments!

Thankyou for reading!
Cheerio!

Haul!



Hello!

Feeling extra happy and decided to do a haul of what I got today! Really happy with things I bought. ( I will list prices).


Firstly I bought this mustardy yellow hat from Zara, and I'm in love. It was £9.99 which I think is a reasonable price. It's so warm and comfy.


Then, I bought some Joni jeans from topshop. These are extra high waisted jeans. They are so comfy and I would highly reccomend them! They were £36. 


Then I bought the Urban Decay Naked basics pallet. I've been wanting this for ages and am so happy I finally came around to buying it! The lady at the stand tried a gorgeous makeup look on me with this urban decay product. I had to buy it!

Finally, I bought what I was dying for. Real techniques brushes! I bought the shading brush, foundation brush and blush brush. Absolutely buzzing with these brushes!

Thankyou so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed this blogpost! 

(Sorry for the bad quality it's getting dark pooooo)

Bye!

Shimmery Wears

Hello! 
I deicided to make an eye look soooo... Here it is! Enjoy!

I'm using this avon Netural Tones pallet. Mac do similar eyeshadows too.

First I'm taking the light cream colour all over my lid.
 Then I use these 3 colours to go in the crease and added a bit of brown for my definition.


Then added this colour for the centre of y eye.

I used my "They're Real Benefit Mascara" to lengthen my lashes. 
And the finished look! It's not amazing but I think it's quite pretty, I usually wear these kind of shimmery colours if I'm in the mood for eyeshadow!

I also put a little bit of the gold under my eye.

Thankyou for reading! Are you gonna recreate this look? (Probably not)

Love Danielle xoxo

The Perfect Shade

It's honestly so lovely and think it's the perfect shade for Autumn and Winter!
This was only £2.99.
Go get yourself a couple of these nail varnishes!

I also use the NYC Quick Dry nail varnish over the top for a glossy finish.

Thanks for reading!

Skin Care Routine

Hello! Welcome back to my blog!
I haven't posted in a while as coursework has gotten in my way *urgh* luckily, I have some time on my hands to show you my skin care routine!

Products I use...

Firstly I will remove my makeup with my Garnier Soft Essentials Cleansing Lotion. This stuff is so good and also very mouistirsing for my skin!

Next I will use my Simple Kind To Skin Soothing Facial Toner just to wipe gently in upwards motions around my face. It's such a nice product.

Thirdly I will use my mini Simple Kind To Skin Hydrating Light Moustriser. This is so nice because it's not heavy, it's light (hense the name of the product).

Finally I will use my teeny, weeny little Sudocrem to put on my blemishes (this will depend if I have blemishes).

I will use my toner in the morning, but this routine is usually night time.

Hope you enjoyed! 

Love Danielle

Favourites!

Hello!

Welcome back to my blog!
I thought I would do a favourites post for you all. October went by so fast, and now it's November! How crazy?!
Here's my first favourite... 

It's the revlon lip butter in Peach parfait! It's such a gorgeous colour on! I think they are about £7.99, which is pricey but totally worth it. Lip butters are not too harsh, but they give a lovely tint. This one is also slightly shimmery.


In this time of the year my skin is horrible and it's red and yucky and gross. But this has saved my life. It's not a high coverage foundation but it's still amazing. It gives a really nice matte finish.

This is an avon pallet in neutral tones. I'm pretty sure this is quite new, but it's got such lovely everyday colours in! The browns are really good for my eyebrows, and the creamy colour at the end is just perfect for brightening the eye up.
I would definitely reccomend!



This is my they're real benefit mascara that I got free in my Elle magazine, and it's amazing. It's got a plastic applicator which I usually wouldn't like, but it's honestly really good. It's clump free and oh gosh I love it! It gives amazing lengths. I'm going to get the bigger one for Christmas and I am so excited.

So that's the end of my blog! I hope you enjoyed! I can finally upload pictures. If you have any new blog suggestions let me know! 
I'm thinking of a skin care or ootd!
Thankyou for reading

My Wishlist!








Hello!


It's coming to that time of year where we are starting to think about our Christmas wish list. I already started thinking of it in August.
It's getting cold, Autumn is just brewing up, and now we all want our Autumn/Winter necessities.
I have a clothes wishlist which I will upload soon. But this is my beauty/shoe wishlist haha.
I hope this gives you some ideas on what you might want to add to your wishlist this year! 


I am absolutely dying for this concelar and everyone has it and says its amazing!
I'm just so excited to try it out! Its about £3-£4 I think. This time of year my under eye circles and blemishes stand out so badly. I need a new concelar!  
 These boots are beautiful. I can't. They are just so lovely for making an outfit more casual with that little heel for class, or just shopping! They are about £70 which I cannot afford (awkward). But these will definitely be going on my wishlist! (from Topshop).
 This is such a beautiful colour nail varnish! I really love Topshop nail varnishes as they are so well pigmented and last! This is probably a weird colour for Autumn and Winter, but I have wanted a colour like this forever! Its in Barefoot.
Now these are beauties! Now I am loving makeup alot and becoming more familar with blending, foundations and all the rest, I really want to get some good brushes. These ones just look good for everyday use! I think you can use them for all different purposes. The buffing brush (the biggest, end one) I would use for powder. And the teeniest one I would use for eyeshadow! They are so nice ahhh. From Boots/Superdrug and are £21.99.


Thankyou for reading lovelies!
Maybe you want some of these products too!
