Autumn Boots

 

 

 

 

 

Hey Girls and Guys! Today I'm going to show you some photos of some of my favourite Autumn and Winter boots. I hope you enjoy this post, I'm trying to become more creative, and I thought taking photographs in a misty field would fit that perfectly. I love Autumn as I bet most of you do as well, its such a beautiful time of year full of leafs, hot chocolates, candles, baths and jumpers! And shoes must change in autumn because its soggy and damp. So take a look at what I have and what I style

them with, enjoy!

 

 

 

 

These lovely boots are from H&M and cost £29.99. I've had them since last winter and they are by far the best boots I have ever owned, they are so easy to style with clothes and are SO BEAUTIFUL! I hope these boots last me for many winters to come

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is my favourite coat for winter is from Matalan and was around £40. I love this coat because its slightly over sized and always keeps me super cosy on cold winter mornings. The coat is in size 10 and is in a washed out green colour with a furry hood. Seriously if you're considering getting a coat similar to this do it! I don't wear it when I want to look well dressed for work or interviews, but anything from shopping to walking this coat is perfect for! 

 

 

 

 

I prefer to wear darker jeans during the colder months of the year and these skinny jeans are from H&M. I ripped the knees myself using scissors and a razor to make them look slightly messier. I love these jeans and H&M always have the comfiest jeans, I hate itchy and really really tight jeans. They are super cheap, great for casual wear and you can rip the knees to change the style completely! 

 

 

 

 

 

These lovely leather black boots are also from H&M and cost £25. They are very comfortable and give some more style to my outfits. I wear these for both casual and formal because they work great for both! I love the elastic bits on the side. These got well with skinny jeans, skater skirts, tight skirts and dresses and look lovely with tights and socks

 

 

  

These socks are from new look and cost £4.99. They are perfect to wear with boots and also make really snug bed time socks!

 

 

 

Thank you for reading this post and I really hope you enjoyed it! Comment below if you liked it and want to see more fashion posts. My next post will be up on Sunday so keep an look out. Have a lovely weekend everyone!

 I Love Autumn

Walks

 Autumn walks are by far one of the best things about this time of year! I live in Shropshire in the UK which has some beautiful walking spots. These photographs were taken at Grinsill which is a hill in the heart of Shropshire, the hill has great views and rope swings, I always feel like a child playing around in the leafs! ( we all do it! )

Starbucks

Okay so I've always been a huge Starbucks fan, but this time of year they bring out their famous spiced ginger latte! This is the BEST autumn drink! It has a lovely taste and keeps me warm and cosy during the cold autumn mornings. I like to sit in Starbucks and read a book or watch the world go by at this time of year.

 

 

Make-up

 

 

Autumn Lipsticks! My favourite autumn shades are deep reds and plums! I usually wear them as a bold statement with simple eye make-up, usually just mascara. I feel like these colours go well with autumn and make me feel very excited for Christmas! This lipstick is from Makeup Revolution from Superdrug UK.

 

 

 

 

Baths

Autumn BATHS! I love baths, and now the nights are getting longer I love nothing more then running a warm bath, having bath bombs and bubbles while I watch YouTube and drink Tea! In the bath I also exfoliate and use face masks. My exfoliator is from the Simple brand, and my face mask is from Soap and Glory. I use Aloe Vera shaving foam but have recently discovered that shampoo ( yes, not conditioner ) is great for shaving if you've ran out! 

L'Oreal Paris True Match Foundation Review

I'm back girls and with a great foundation to tell you all about! Okay so here we have the wonderful L'Oreal Paris True Match foundation in the shade ivory. I've been wearing this foundation for the past week so this review is everything from price, colour, quality, texture to SPF. Before you read my blogging plan is to post Sunday's, Monday's and Thursdays, so if you like my blog make sure to check it out often, and if you like, follow me on instagram at missfixedbeauty. Enjoy!

Price and where can I buy this product? The price is £9.99 and for the quality I think this is definitely worth this price. I brought this foundation in Boots UK, I know its also available in Superdrug UK.

Packaging? The packaging is perfect for the foundation and makes it easy to shake before application. The only negative thing packaging wise I have to say about this is when you use it a few times the foundation smears on the lid and gives it that 'well used' look, I'm sure you all know what m talking about! :)

Colour? As its autumn and my skin is loosing its summer glow, I needed a foundation that would achieve my skin tone and none of my foundations were doing that, my foundation looked very yellow using max factor. So I brought this after swathing MANY foundations in boots and found this was the palest one. This colour is great for my skin tone which is pale and patchy due to small breakouts.

Texture? The texture is watery if not shaken, but if you shake it before each application the texture is very smooth, even and light.

Finnish? The foundation has a medium and buildable coverage, but is very light weight. It has a gorgeous glow that makes me look awake and ready for the day! I haven't been applying my normal Rimmel Stay Matte powder with this foundation because I feel it takes away the fresh face glow, but this foundation lasts hours without needing touch ups, with is always a bonus!

Who would I recommend this foundation too? Anyone with pale skin that struggles with foundation shades, id say go swatch this and I think you'll be surprised, I know I was! Anyone with acne also, this has great buildable coverage but it feels so light weight on the face, it also has an SPF of 17 which is fantastic. Overall this is a fantastic foundation and one I'l be repurchasing!

 

I have this wonderful blush in the shade 020 Pink Rose ( as shown above! ) and my god, this is such a powerful blush!

 

Price? The price of this blush was £2.99 I believe so super cheap, and from a good quality drug store brand! I got mine from Superdrug ( UK ) and rimmel stand should have this blush, this is one colour out of a selection of four.

 

Quality? Great quality! this blush is super pigmented though so be careful because I little will go a very long way! Because of how little you need of this product to get such a nice blushed look, although its small, this is a product that will last a good year or so!

 

Colour? I got the shade pink rose because its a very pale pink and with winter just around the corner I thought it would look lovely with some of my darker lipsticks, although thinking about it darker pink blushes look so lovely in winter too, blush is optional and personal choice, there's no right or wrong!

 

Packaging? As some of you may know I am a mobile make-up artist ( getting there slowly ). So the makeup I usually go for that I want to be using on clients as well as myself has to be strongly packaged! I feel like this blush has a stronger lid compared to Rimmels stay matte powder, so yes this blush will survive a make-up bag, and its so tiny as well!

 

Would I recommend this product? To girls that are used to using lighter blushes ( such as myself ) id be careful with using these at first because I can not stress enough how pigmented this product is ( which of course is not a bad thing ) So use it lightly! But yes I defiantly would recommend this as you could get all four blushes for under £10! So overall these are great blushers, great colours, great stay, great prices, tiny and cute, who could as for more? 

Okay so we all know as make-up geeks that this powder gets raved about so much! And I believe its a dupe for the MAC powder (which one? I'm unsure, someone tell me!) So I brought this must have powder yesterday from Superdrug for £3.99, firstly I must say for what you get for the price is awesome.

Packaging?
Unfortunately the only let down of the product is the packaging, it's not the flashy type of packaging that draws you towards a product and can be seen to look messy because of the transparent lid. All in all though the packing is pretty strong however I had the Rimmel London so clear powder earlier on in the year which came in the same packaging, and unfortunately the powder completely smashed due to getting thrown around in my suitcase ( thank you men of Crete that work in the airport,
fuckers )

Colour?
I got this powder in the shade 001 transparent, and I must say for someone as pale as me, this powder works great on my skin tone!

Claims?
The powder is very matte! I don't like to apply to much powder to my face at all and often throughout the summer haven't worn any because I worry it gives that unwanted 'old lady face' look! But I apply this to my forehead, nose and chin and any other places that can get oily, I don't apply much as too much powder leads to a very cakey face. However just the smallest amount of this product in the right area does the job! No cakey face, but also a perfect matte finish!

Would I recommend this product to someone?
Defiantly! I think this powder will work for lots of people and for the price you can not go wrong at all! The only thing I would recommend is if you have very dry skin try and stay clear of powders as it will only highlight them areas, also with acne (which I suffer with as well and unfortunately know from experience) as tempting as it is to apply a coat over acne after foundation, try not to as it will only dry them up throughout the day leave you with a very flaky face! :(

Miss Sporty Haul

 

 

Anyone who knows me, knows I've never been a fan of miss sporty, I've always found there products 'tacky'. Superdrug have a great sale on for miss sporty, 3 products for £5, so I thought, why not try some more of there products out and give them a go!

 

 

Above is the Miss sporty studio lash liquid eyeliner in brown. This eyeliner has a lovely colour for soft looks. This colour is perfect for those back to school looks and for me as a trainee beauty therapist, as minimal make-up is required. The part that sucks about this product is the applicator, for some people it may be simple to use, but I find it very bendy and not easy to apply at all, I also have sensitive eyes and this products makes my eyes slightly sore. But all in all, for this price this product has a great pay off, and is worth the money if you are used to liquid eyeliners id recommend giving this a go

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Miss Sporty lip gloss. This is in the shade 'gentlemen prefer me'. I find this lip gloss looks great alone or with a nude lipstick. The colour and pay off is great, however I find this lip gloss to be slightly sticky though, that said, I've never really worn lip glosses before so I have nothing to compare this to. I do think for the price this is a great lip gloss, they have more shade then this, this gloss has a lot of shimmer in also, I think this will be great over a balm in winter!

 

 

 

And finally, I have saved the best until last! This foundation even not in the sale is still under £5! I have this in the shade 001 ivory. Okay, so this foundation is probably this best foundation i've tried to oily and blemished skin, it has a great matte finish, yet it does not feel like you have much on at all! This foundation has got to be the best for oily skin, you get the great coverage and a slight glow, but this foundation has that matte finish you get once applying a powder, it sits on oily skin perfectly without powder which I great as I find powders can look caky on top of a matte foundation. The colour for pale skin is great, even my favourite foundation rimmel wake me up still doesn't completely match my skin tone, however this foundation, even with two layers looks completely natural and you wouldn't tell you had any on, but with the complete coverage at the same time. YES, it is a miracle, a great foundation for pale oily skin, full matte coverage AND under £5! 



Fall Lips

 

 

MUA BARE LIPSTICK

 

This lipstick is a perfect nude shade with a tint of peach.

 

 

Not only is this lipstick £1, its also amazing quality. The MUA lipsticks have always been my favourite drugstore lipsticks based on price, quality and shade range. I'm pretty sure MUA has over 30 colours in there lipsticks range, with a great selection of mattes and shimmers. So for a start of lipstick user, from makeup artist building up a good quality kit on a budget MUA lippies are a win!

 

 

So Bare, by far one of the best shades in my opinion in the collection. The lipsticks offer full coverage , long lasting effect and dry fast. The packaging itself is not the best, but its strong and does the job, just a regular lippie packaging!

 

So if you want a huge lipstick collection but don't want to spend hundreds of pounds, take a look at MUA! I know they are in many superdrug stores across the UK , the also have a website so go check out all there amazing super cheap products!
