Lounge-wear Style Picks

 All I am currently living in is Loungewear! When I packed my suitcase to come home I thought I would put to use some cute outfits, but realistically I have been living in the same 3 hoodies with a pair of leggings, one day I did actually wear jeans!

I originally started a cute spring dresses style post but thought a more appropriate post would be on comfy clothes considering the circumstances.

1. Stradivarius Ecru Hoodie Currently Out of stock but Asos do a similar one!  

2. Topshop Ditsy Print Flares

3. Topshop White Printed sweatshirt

4. ASOS oversized Cocoon hoodie 

5. Topshop Knitted jumper

6. Asos Jumpsuit

6. H&M fluffy jumper

8. Asos Wide sleeve cropped jumper

9. Asos Round Neck top

What have you been wearing these last few weeks? Are you getting ready everyday or having a comfy clothes day everyday?

All about that Glow.

It seems I am growing a collection of glowy primers, There is MANY more but these are some of the ones I thought were worth talking about!

It all started with the Iconic London illuminator which I will be honest is one of the best. I find it works really well mixed in with your foundation, it makes your makeup go on so much better! 'Shine' is the shade I purchased as I thought it would work best with my skin tone! But there are a few other shades that would work really well with other skin tones, as well as an 'original' universal shade. Slightly more expensive but definitely the best one out there so is worth it!

Revlon Glow Hydrating and Illuminating Primer a slightly different product, more of a primer than the rest of the products, and slightly more subtle in its glowyiness but really worked well before applying your foundation! It has little beads in it that you're supposed to warm up with your fingers, which is a really interesting concept! Perfect for your skin as well as under your makeup,  as it also adds some extra moisture to your skin.

Figs and Rouge Charm Elixer  A new edition to my collection which I received as a part of the February Glossy box, it is really similar to the iconic in terms of what it does. I did initially make the mistake of putting far too much on. But it is a great product, and looks great under makeup but is also a light enough consistency to apply after foundation, on top of your cheekbones. The packaging is super cute and aesthetically pleasing, the rose/blush shade is not only for show but the rose quartz has beneficial properties for your skin.

Asos Liquid Highlighter the cheapest liquid illuminator I think you can probably get, its always on offer on ASOS and is currently £3.50!!! Deffo worth it if you want to try a product out like this but don't want to spend loads. Only tried under my makeup as you can tell by the thickness that it might be slightly too heavy on the cheekbones, but with a light hand would make you look lovely and glowy.

March Glossybox

Better late than never hey? I have decided to start doing a short review on the Glossyboxes which I recently have started purchasing after listening to my best friend rave about them all the time!

This months was called 'All about the eyes' yes, you guessed it.. a box focused on products for your eyes! 3 out of 5 products were primarily eye-related, with a Seba Med eye cream, Eyeko mascara and a Ciate stamp and drag eyeliner. 

The eye cream is a good size, and perfect for anyone looking for a good moisturizing base before their makeup application or as part of your skincare regime. I do not feel particularly drawn to anti-aging skincare, but it was a nice bonus to try out a brand that I have not heard too much about! The mascara by Eyeko is a perfect size for anyone who plans on traveling.. later this year. Super black and was great under my false lashes! 

Ciate's stamp and drag eyeliner, it sounds scary and I will admit I have not tried the stamp part. But the pen side is super black and I found it relatively easy to use, despite being slightly larger than my favorite Kat Von D liner. I think for anyone who struggles to do a wing this is a great way to get around it!

The last two products whilst not eye-related, rounded off the box perfectly! A glowy Sleek palette, which I have tried previously- a mixture of creams and powders which could be used on the eyelid if you wanted to create a glowy look! The McoBeauty full-size lipstick was also a great addition! Although it is deceivingly more pinky than nudey/brown like the packaging indicates! But for the right skin tone will look fab with a neutral eye look and glowy makeup.

In all honesty, this month's box did not WOW me as much as February's amazing 'Love crosses borders' box with lots of Valentine related products. But I am super excited to see what they bring out next month, having a monthly treat come through the door is really something to look forward too and if you are not subscribed to GlossyBox you should be, not only do you get great products, you can earn points and get great discounts on beauty sites including Lookfantastic and Boots. 

Counting down the days till the next box..only 14 to go! Ellie x
