Hello my lovely's

well id like to introduce you to my guest blogger Rebecca from beauty spot click here.

Rebecca has a fab blog, with some great reviews and fab make up looks not to mention the amazing rag doll Halloween makeup she created that won her a great goodie bag from ELLE UK. 

                                                 
How amazing is this look!! 

Well last week Rebecca and myself decided to exchange 10 question our criteria was beauty and blog related.

Here's the 10 question i gave  her and her fab replys

1)What is your blogs name??
A. Beauty Spot! http://beccaroseking.blogspot.co.uk/

2)How long have you been blogging?
A. I started in February this year

3)Who/how was you inspired to start blogging ?
A. At the beginning of 2012 I started to become obsessed with watching makeup tutorials on YouTube, in particular Pixiwoo's Chanel. The more I watched, the more beauty products I was buying. My makeup bag was literally over flowing so I thought why not start a blog about what I bought & what I really liked. So Beauty Spot! was born :)

4)Can you tell me abit about your blog?
A. It's mainly about reviews on makeup and other beauty products that I really love. I sometimes will upload makeup looks that I have created or will blog about anything else that I am loving at that moment, beauty related or not!

5)How much time do you spend a week blogging or thinking bout future blog posts?
A. It varies really, sometimes I have a bit of a splurge on buying new things so I will try and blog quite regularly. I try and blog at least a couple of times a month though

6)What is your favourite beauty brand?A. This is really hard, I love MAC lipsticks but love Rimmel foundations. If I had to choose though, I would say MAC.

7)What is one beauty product you cant live without?A. I would have to say my NARS Laguna Bronzer. I am faired skin so this really perks up my face, because it is matte it's a great product to use all year round and you can create some great contouring with it as well

8)Whats your favourite high end brand/drug store brand?
A. High end would be DIOR, I absolutely love their eyeshadow pallets and I am a little obsessed with my Dior Amber Diamond powder highlighter. Drug store I would say Rimmel, I love the foundations and range of colours they have to suit everyone. I am also a big fan of their powder blushes, nail varnishes and eyeliners, winner all round really!

9)How much time a day would you spend beautifying?
A. On a week day I try to give myself an hour to get ready for work (depending if I can get up on time!) I do my hair, makeup & have breakfast in that time. If I am getting ready for a night out, I like to give myself 2-3 hours! (I know that probably sounds ridiculous!) but I like to have a shower, wash my hair, put my rollers in and then I normally spend a little time planning my makeup look! Sometimes it takes a little while to apply the false lashes ;-)

10)Who's your beauty icon/icon's??
A. Cheryl Cole is a natural beauty, I have always thought she is so stunning. I love Kristen Stewart's look as well, she is quite a Tomboy so when you see her all glamed up on the red carpet I always think WOW! It's great that she can rock the grungey look but also pull off a classic red lip as well.

Thank you Rebecca  for being my guest blogger on my blog....all go check her blog out and maybe show the blogger love and follow beauty spot (it makes people smile )

Xmas party outfit bloggeer challenge

So when i stumbled across another blogger's blog, all about the Xmas party outfit challenge run by fashionvouchers click here , i thought why not give it a whirl and see what i can do.

The challenge is to choose a brands website from their A-Z collection of brands.You then have to put together a killer festive outfit for £100 or less.....so i thought let the challenge begin. 

 I looked through the brands and decided to go with BooHoo.com , as I'm only 27 still young myself. This brand always stands out to me as being very current and bang on trend which i love.

 As i got it in my head i was to create a festive outfit. To me Christmas only means one thing RED and sparkle!!! so that's what i wanted to go with.

Here's what i chose .....

So when i think killer outfit i always think "dress". I chose this dress as it stood out to me being bright red and very festive looking.This dress is the Polly bandeau skater dress coming in at a bargain price of £20.00, i loved the bandeau sweetheart neckline and the flair of the material on the skirt area of the dress.

I'm really loving the look of shoe/boots with dresses at the moment.So i decided to go with some Ebony gold sparkly platform shoe boots...well if you cant sparkle at chrimo when can ya!!!
I love the fact these are platform, but even tho these state are a 6.25 inch heel (hello tallness)..i think the fact these are platform takes away the pressure on feet and will be comfortable enough to dance the party season away.These lovely heels are £35.00 so was the dearest part of my outfit but are defiantly a statement party piece.

So no outfit is complete with out a clutch.I came across this Jemma beige stud and suttle skull one...studs are a big thing at the moment and may not be very festive looking but i think the beige and reflective off the studs is enough to bring this into the festive season and would complement this outfit. This clutch was a bargain at £15.00.

An outfit would not be complete with out statement jewellery.I wanted some bracelets that would look stacked , i chose the Kayla spring gold bracelet..keeping with the gold to match the shoes, these was £8.00.I also noticed a fab matching bracelet and necklace,  the colours fitting the festive season so well. With its big multi coloured stones i thought would look great above the sweetheart neckline of the dress.  Then the bracelet on the opposite wrist to the gold stacking bracelet.The Melissa jewelled necklace came in at £10.00 and the matching bracelet £8.00, the multicolour stones would also make this a fab duo to mix and match with a variety of outfits.

So with that being my selection, my whole killer outfit came in at £96. I thought  this was fab for a 6 piece outfit....I now wanna rush out and buy this outfit for my self.

Why don't you take part in the Xmas party outfit blogger challenge ?? click here to take part 

Fab Five Friday Faves!!

Hey, so i thought every Friday i would do a Fab Five Friday faves. This will consist of things that have i have loved this week and made me smile....

1)Since now in the UK its bitterly cold, I've very much been enjoying a nice bubble bath opposed to a quick shower.Whats made it more enjoyable is the Lush rose jam bubbleroon.This melt is amazing  the rose scent is very fresh and young no way a mature floral fragrance with the sweetness of jam, crumbled under my running bath water creates fab bubbles and even better my bath water is pink!!

2)Yesterday i purchased the real Techniques stippling brush and omg what had i been missing....I know I've only used it once this morning, but i was that impressed i had to include it.This Brush felt amazingly soft on my face and my foundation looked flawless...recommend this brush to everyone and whats even better Boots have a buy one get the 2nd half price on at the moment.

3) Ive been loving "all of you, yes you reading this"....I'm so grateful for the people that have read, followed and commented on my blog .....thank you so much my lovelys you have made me smile so much (my contribution for movember as i just cant grow one myself ha ha )

4) Not only have i loved you reading my blog, but have loved reading others peoples blog's to. I love a variety of different  genres from makeup to people documenting their life's...A blog I've really enjoyed this week is a thrifty Mrs http://www.athriftymrs.com/ Mrs Thrifty has made me want to organise my house...rearrange my fridge and glitter D.I.Y some shoes this week....this blog is fab check it out .

5) So the weathers been a bit wild this week, especially where i live in the midlands, strong wind and unbelievable  amounts of rain....but what I've really loved is lying in bed listening to the wind outside and rain fall on my windows (ok i don't enjoy it when i have to go out in it and realise the hubby's took the umbrellas to work in the car :/ bad times!! ) but i always think theirs something really therapeutic about lying in your cosy bed and falling to sleep to it...anyone else with me on that one??........

What have been your favourites things this week??

Come join me for afternoon tea plus OOTD and makeup

Today my husband and i went for yummy afternoon tea at Coombe Abbey. A 12th century monastery which is now a fab hotel and restaurant surrounded by acres and acres of beautiful nature trails and all things beautiful .This was a wedding present brought for us, which we have only just got round to using 13  months on....So i thought I'd let you all have peak into my fab afternoon and  take advantage of this and do an OOTD and what i wore on my face.

As we arrived up the very long drive the surroundings looked picture perfect with all the very pretty Autumn leaves.( you can not beat cold autumn days wrapped up warm)

So here's what i wore...its one of them things, What do you wear for afternoon tea?? so i went with something i would feel comfortable in but warm...I felt slightly out of place when we  arrived...the dress code seemed to be middle age/oap (the sterotypical afternoon tea goers lol) but I'm 27 so if you cant rock shiny leggings an an American print top for afternoon tea... when can you??

So ill start from top and work down most my outfit is Primark (i lurveeee primark for bargains)

woolly bobble hat with hearts and diamantes currently in primark £3

Fur collared quilted coat (fur detaches) currently in primark £22

Scull scarf black and cream £3 Primark

American flag print top with eagles is a very long top on me more a dress! but i tucked it in to make a short top this was reduced in Primark for £3 (bargain)

black shiny leggings £8 from George at Asda

Brown leather strap  ankle boots from Hush Puppies if i remember right these was about £100...these are fab quality..good quality shoes will see you through for years!!

A quick little snow man post........

If you love all thing Xmas , the smell of spice you will love this little dude......

This little melting snowman is part of the Lush Christmas range he retails at £1.95 and is worth every penny.

This has a fab hot toddy fragrance, consisting of cinnamon,clove,patchouli, lime and sweet wild orange oils. His body contains cocoa butter and shea butter so when the little snowman hits the hot bath water, he melts away so your bath water will leave your skin feel super soft and nourished.

I absolutely loved this when i used it, I'm a big Christmas spice smell kinda gal, and the moment i smelt this in Lush i knew i had to try him......i could not wait till it was bath time and was not disappointed at all.As i dropped this under my hot running tap the smell filled the bathroom and then slowly my whole of upstairs...my only hate is the dairy free chocolate chips in it (not sure if edible) i assumed they would melt but it left brown bits floating around my bath and his little nose (think was a piece of apricot) i scooped out...but this  would no way put me off...yes , i would not wash my hair with the bits floating around, but for a very relaxing festive feeling bath i would repurchase over and over again.This also lingered in my bathroom for 2 days so every time i walked in i smelt the spices of Xmas so £1.95 well spent i say.

So if your like me love Xmas....but think its to early to put your tree up and Dec the house up with sparkle and glitter....treat yourself to a little melting snowman, light some candles and relax...go on i know you want to .

                                 
                                     35 days to go!!
