033 : & It Was All Yellow

Hey Belles! Hope everyone had a super weekend, I'm so excited to share with you my very first outfit of the day post! I know most of my posts focus on beauty & reviews, but I figured its time to brave the weather and show you guys what I've been wearing lately. Plus, I never post photos of myself on here, time for a change!

Jacket, £58: Topshop

T-Shirt, £6.99: H&M

Trousers, £35: River Island

Shoes, £19.99: New Look

I'm a massive fan of florals, give me florals anyday. When I saw these utterly beautiful trousers I knew I needed them in my life, unfortunately they were sold out in my size online and in all of my local stores, but luckily, Mama Belle came to the rescue and managed to pick some up in her local River Island, much to my delight! Thanks Mum! I wasn't sure what to team with the trousers as they are quite in your face, I decided on a yellow t-shirt which I picked up super cheap in H&M, I got a black long sleeve too for more formal affairs, and my trusty Topshop leather jacket. I really love wearing heels but as the weather as begun to get a little damper and a little brisk, I've put the stilettos away & opted for a classier midi heel. These are super comfy to walk in, theres just something about New Look shoes!

 Watch: c/o The Watch Hut

I have to admit, I'm not usually one to wear a watch, mainly because I don't think I've ever owned a really trusty, pretty watch.. and because I'm ridiculously forgetful. I'm really time aware though and a bit of a clock watcher. You can always guarantee I'll be ten minutes early! When the lovely people at The Watch Hut sent me this Casio beauty, I couldn't wait to get it on, I was feeling it was about time to get a new watch and I absolutely adore the gorgeous berry colour, so perfect for autumn/winter. It's lovely and delicate, my teeny wrists can't pull off a massive Michael Kors (which by the way... The Watch Hut stock at amazing prices!) - as much as I would love one! I love a bit of wrist candy!

 

Here's an OOTD outtake for your viewing pleasure! Belts holding up your boobs is definitely gonna catch on! Hope everyone has a really lovely week, let me know your thoughts on my first OOTD! 

Lots of love

032 Review : L'oreal Skin Perfection Micellar Solution

Hey Belles, hope you all had a fabulous weekend! I know I'm slightly late jumping on the Micellar bandwagon, but boy am I glad I did! I picked up the L'oreal version in my local Superdrug, I've been really impressed with L'oreal products over the last year or so, from their face wipes to their cleansers and toners. They definitely haven't disappointed. Micellar waters aren't a product I knew massive amounts about before investing in, I know tonnes of you guys swear by Bioderma, but I'm yet to try it so this isn't going to be a comparison post.. just yet! I have to admit, I wasn't exactly convinced by Micellar waters, I figured that it would just be another type of make-up remover, without any additional benefits.

 L' Oreal Paris Skin Perfection-3-in-1 Purifying Micellar Solution - £4.99 / 200ml

The L'Oreal Micellar claims to do three things;
- Dissolve make-up
- Unclog pores and remove impurities
- Tone and soothe skin

As you can see, I've used a fair bit of mine now and I have to say, I'm really impressed! I popped a little onto a cotton pad and as instructed, held it onto my eye for a few seconds before wiping away, I absolutely loved that when you wipe away your make-up, it doesn't smear all over your face. Y'know when you're using a face wipe and it looks and feels as though your just kind of moving your make-up around your chops? Yep, we've all been there. Well, this definitely doesn't do that. It's super gentle on your eyes too, it feels like water and doesn't really have a scent so it tends not to irritate. I'm not sure if it unclogged my pores as my pores aren't massively visible anyway, it was soothing on my skin and really lovely to use.

The only qualm I have with this product was that the hole was a tiny bit too big & I always ended up using a little too much, I think theres a bit of a knack to it but I found there was more wastage than I would have liked.

I've incorporated this into my nightly skincare routine by following up with Liz Earle's Cleanse & Polish, I think it's absolutely perfect for a two-step cleansing routine, but not a product I would use alone. A definite repurchase though!

Has anyone else tried this? What did you all think?

Lots of love
