Spring Beauty Haul

Spring 2016 Beauty Makeup Haul Real Techniqes Soap And Glory Collection Belle Amie UK Beauty Fashion Lifestyle Blog

Since getting back into blogging a couple weeks ago, I have been pretty obsessed with looking up new products to try out. My last blog post was a Spring Beauty Wishlist with a selection of the beauty products that I've been wanting to get my hands on and try. Since making that post I have been on a bit of a spending spree and have allowed my self to pick up a few new lovely additions to my makeup collection! I have actually got a few more orders on their way (I need to stop spending haha!) but I thought I would show you some of the pieces I've picked up recently from Boots and Look Fantastic!

Spring 2016 Beauty Makeup Haul Real Techniqes Soap And Glory Matte Lips Crayons Collection Concealer Belle Amie UK Beauty Fashion Lifestyle Blog

Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Matte-Lip Crayons | £3.50 each | LINK
I am a huge fan of Soap & Glory makeup, so whenever I spot something new I have to get it! Their Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Crayons are amazing and when I saw their new Matte-Lip shades I couldn't help but pick some up - especially as they were 3 for 2! The shades I chose were: Fire Cracker which is a very bright, bold orange, Chocoberry which is a lovely deep berry shade and Pretty Muted which is a pretty mid pink shade - all of which have a matte finish. I feel like these are 3 shades that I would get a lot of wear out of, especially Chocoberry as I'm sure this will look lovely in the Autumn too! I will definitely review these lovely lippies on my blog soon.

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in 1 Fair | £4.19 | LINK
This is a staple in my makeup collection so whenever I pop into Boots and see it's on offer I always have to pick one up as the lightest shade is always sold out! I think I even persuaded the girl that served me to go and pick one up as she asked whether it was good or not (I had to stop myself going all "beauty blogger" on her haha!). If you want to read more on this product check out my review of it here!

Spring 2016 Beauty Makeup Haul Real Techniqes Miracle Complexion Sponge Soap And Glory Collection Loose Powder Belle Amie UK Beauty Fashion Lifestyle Blog

Collection Sheer Loose Powder in Translucent 2 | £2.99 | LINK
This was a bit of an impulse buy as I used to use this powder years ago and remembered it was one of my favourite products. The Collection Sheer Loose Powder contains silk, Vitamin E and UV protectors so I thought it would be a nice addition to my collection. Loose powders are also lovely for Summer as they're much lighter and natural looking on the skin compared to a pressed powder. So far I'm not really loving it as it seems to settle into my pores throughout the day, but I think I need to test it out with different foundations/ brushes and see how it wears with them!

Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge | £5.99 | LINK
Beauty sponges seem to be really big with bloggers at the moment so I thought I would pick one up and give it ago. They seem to give a really natural finish when you apply foundation and I thought this would be great for this time of year when you want to create those fresh-faced makeup looks! I haven't tried mine out yet but I'll definitely let you know how I get one with it. I love Real Techniques brushes so I'm sure this will be just as good.

Spring 2016 Beauty Makeup Haul Real Techniqes Bold Metals Spring Essentials Soap And Glory Collection Belle Amie UK Beauty Fashion Lifestyle Blog

Real Techniques Bold Metals Spring Essentials Set | £30.00 | LINK
So I finally got my hands on some more of the Bold Metals brushes from Real Techniques! If you saw my latest wishlist post then you would know I've been lusting after this set from Look Fantastic. As it was only £30 (with an extra 20% off, so just £24!) I thought I would treat myself and place an order. In the set there is: the Angled Powder Brush, Tapered Blush Brush and the Oval Shadow Brush and they are all so beautiful! I've been using all 3 every time I apply my makeup and have really enjoyed using them. I will also do a post on these beautiful brushes soon and give you my thoughts and opinions on them!

I hope you've enjoyed today's haul post! I get so excited when I have some new products to try out and I will definitely share my thoughts on them with you all very soon. Let me know if you've posted any hauls recently as they're my favourite posts to read!

Christmas Home Haul

Christmas-Home-Haul-2015-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog

Christmas is literally my favourite time of year; I love the cold, dark evenings, being able to burn candles all day long and of course the whole festive feeling of the next couple months. With this, I love decorating my room with Christmas decor and over the past couple of weeks I've picked up a few bits and pieces. It probably seems a bit early buying Christmas decorations already, but I always find that they sell out really quickly so it's good to stock up when you see bits you like!

Christmas-Home-Haul-Little-Dears-Bedding-Set-Asda-Cushion-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog

Little Dears Duvet Set | £12.00 (double) | LINK
Every year I like to treat myself to some new Christmas bedding. I usually go for a set from Primark as they're always so cheap but I've actually found that Asda also do some lovely designs at similar prices! I spotted this cute deer and little girl duvet set on the Asda website and knew straight away I had to get it - it's so sweet! As you only use Christmas bedding for such a short time every year, you don't want to be spending loads of money on a duvet set, but I think £12 for a double is amazing and there are so many designs to choose from.

Red Deer Cushion | £7.00 | LINK
To go with my new bedding I also picked up the matching cushion that goes with it. I bought one of these cushions last year as well so I thought they would make my bed look really nice and Christmasy. This cushion has a lovely velvet finish and of course has the cute fawn print on the front. There's also a smaller one with a similar pattern, but I thought I would restrain myself so that my bedding wasn't "deer overload"!

Christmas-Home-Haul-Wilkos-Polar-Bear-Tree-Decorations-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog

Fawn Ornament | £4.00
The final Christmas item I picked up from Asda was a little fawn ornament and again, it matches my lovely new bedding! I love the look of this ornament as it's so vintage and retro looking and it's just a nice way to add a bit of character to your room. If you see this little fella I would definitely say pick him up because I had a bit of trouble finding him as he was always sold out!

White Polar Bear Ornament | £4.00 | LINK
Another cheap place to pick up some lovely Christmas decorations is Wilko's. I usually get my wrapping paper and ribbons from there as they're really good value for money and they have some lovely designs to choose from. I picked up this cute polar bear ornament as I loved the simplicity of it and thought it would look lovely sitting by my window. You can also get a range of sizes and positions of these polar bears which would make a lovely statement piece above your fireplace!

Polar Bear Tree Decorations | £1.50 each | LINK
Me and my mum went a bit "polar bear mad" in Wilko's as I also picked up some smaller tree decorations that would look lovely on the tree (obviously) or just hanging around the house. I love white decorations for the Christmas tree and thought these little bears would just look super cute!

Christmas-Home-Haul-Yankee-Candle-Christmas-Cookie-Tea-Lights-Cranberry-Ice-Meduim-Jar-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-B

 Yankee Candle Christmas Cookie Tea Lights | £6.75 | LINK
I can't seem to go shopping recently without picking up some form of candle - it's becoming a slight obsession! I had a Boots voucher that gave me 25% off a gift item so I decided to pick up some little Yankee Candle tea lights in Christmas Cookie which is one of my favourite Christmas scents! I haven't tried the Yankee tea lights before but I thought they would be nice to give my room a quick burst of fragrance. If you love sweet Christmasy scents then you should definitely try out the Christmas Cookie a try!

Yankee Candle Cranberry Ice Medium Jar | £18.99 | LINK
The final thing I picked up was a medium jar of the Cranberry Ice scent from Yankee Candle. This is a different kind of scent to Christmas Cookie as it's very fresh and fruity but still super Christmasy at the same time. I've wanted to get this lovely scent in a jar form as I go through so many sampler sizes of it. Luckily I spotted that this fragrance was 25% off in the Yankee shop (however this jar is 33% off online!) so I was super happy about that! I find that the medium jars last me ages so they're definitely worth investing into, especially if it's a scent that you love!

That's everything Christmas related that I've bought recently! I can't wait to start decorating my room, it feels such a shame keeping all these lovely things cooped up in bags! I've decided that I'm going to go all out and start decorating at the beginning of November as I'm just too excited! Be sure to give me a follow on Instagram (@amiehaffenden) as I'm bound to be snapping pictures of these Christmas pieces in action.

Miss Selfridge Haul

Miss-Selfridge-Haul-Gold-Triangle-Daisy-Necklace-Belle-amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog

Hello everyone! Right now as I'm typing the weather outside is super gloomy and rainy, so I thought it would be a perfect excuse to snuggle up on the sofa and write a little blog post! I've recently placed a few orders with Miss Selfridge so I thought I would put together a small fashion haul for you all. Miss Selfridge is definitely one of my favourite clothes shops on the high street as I always find their clothes fit really well and are great value for money. Obviously it's a bit more pricey than your Primark or New Look but they always have discount codes and offers floating around which do help out!

I like to buy my fashion staples from Miss Selfridge, things that will last me a long time and that I know I'll get tonnes of wear out of. So this haul does contain a few Autumn fashion basics that will definitely last me right through Autumn and Winter!

Gold Triangle Necklace | £4.00 | LINK

Starting with jewellery I've recently picked up some gorgeous pieces from Miss Selfridge's new (ish) cheaper range. These pieces come on brown cardboard packaging and are so lovely, plus they're much cheaper than their normal Diva range - win win! The first piece I picked up was this dainty little gold triangle necklace that I thought would look amazing when you want to wear something more discreet. My favourite way to wear this is with a shirt and jumper and wearing it just under the collar. It looks really pretty and for £4 it was definitely well worth picking up!

Gold Flower Cutout Collar | £8.00 | LINK

The other necklace I picked up is more of a statement necklace and I literally couldn't leave it behind! This beautiful daisy necklace is really simple yet would easily dress up a simple outfit. I love pairing this with plain jumpers and dresses to give them an instant glam look! Again I couldn't get over the price of just £8 - these are prices I'd happily pay in the sale! Definitely can't wait to pick up some more pieces from this range.

Miss-Selfrdige-Haul-Blue-Check-Shirt-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog
Blue Checked Shirt | £30.00 | LINK

Checked shirts are everywhere at the moment and I decided to pick up this lovely blue, white and red patterned one with pearl poppers. I'm not a huge fan of the red checked shirts as they feel very "lumber jack" looking to me haha! So I've been on the hunt for a nice blue coloured one and was very happy to stumble across this one. I think these look so cute worn undone with a simple plain top on underneath paired with jeans and boots - the perfect Autumn outfit! The material is really lovely plus I find it fits really well both worn undone and buttoned up.

Miss-Selfridge-Haul-Light-Blue-Pea-Coat-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog
Pale Blue Faux Fur Collar Button Coat | £69.00 | LINK

I remember seeing these coats last year and thought they were so cute and classy! During the Autumn/ Winter I always tend to stick with my parkas but when it comes to going to a nice event or out for a meal, I always feel a bit frumpy wearing one! So when an email came through saying these coats were half price I thought I would snap one up straight away! I think this coat will be perfect for going out as it's definitely quite dressy and not something I would wear on a day to day basis. The fur around the collar is so soft and the baby blue colour is really pretty and will help make this a coat that's perfect right through to Spring! These coats do seem to come up a bit big but as I'll be living in jumpers and wearing lots of layers in the cold months, it's probably for the best so that it actually fits!

Miss-Selfrdige-Haul-Black-Sleeveless-Duster-Jacket-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog
Black Sleeveless Duster Jacket | £28.00 | LINK

The final piece in my haul is this simple black sleeveless duster jacket that's great for layering up over t-shirts. I'm a bit late to this whole duster jacket business but I always found that ones I tried on came up super long and made my legs look really stumpy! This duster jacket however is a really flattering length plus is made from a thicker material so will (sort of) help keep you warm during the Autumn. I think these paired with long sleeve tops looks really nice and with a statement necklace they're great day to night outfits!

So that's everything I've picked up from Miss Selfridge over the past few weeks! I absolutely love everything I've bought and can't wait to start wearing it all over Autumn and Winter!

Thanks for reading!

Boots Makeup Haul

Boots-Spring-Summer-Makeup-Haul-2015-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog

As we go into the Spring and Summer I've felt like I've needed to add some new makeup pieces to my collection as I haven't really bought any cosmetics in quite a while. With the added factor of lots of new high street beauty releases, I thought I would take advantage of Boot's latest 3 for 2 offer and try out some new pieces! I also managed to find some little gems in the Boot's clearance section, which is a very rare phenomenon I'm sure you'll all agree!

Boots-Spring-Summer-Makeup-Haul-2015-Bourjois-Maybelline-Collection-LOreal-Essie-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog
Boots-Spring-Summer-Makeup-Haul-2015-Collection-Eyes-Uncovered-Nude-Bronze-Palette-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog

Collection Eyes Uncovered Nude Bronze Palette | £3.99 | LINK
These new little eye shadow palettes from Collection seem to have taken the beauty world by storm so I thought I would finally try one out. I decided to go for the Nude Bronze palette as it contains some gorgeous shimmery gold/ bronze shades. My mum also picked up the Nude palette which I thought looked very similar to the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette. The other version is the Nude Grey which is obviously more grey toned which I didn't pick up as I personally don't find grey/ silver shades suit me as well as golden eye shadows. In these little palettes you get 6 good sized shadows that can create a variety of eye looks. There's also a doubled ended foam applicator which is nice of them to include but I much prefer to use my brushes! I'll definitely do a review of this soon as I can imagine this will be a beautiful everyday palette!

Boots-Spring-Summer-Makeup-Haul-2015-Bourjois-Colour-Boost-Sweet-Macchiato-Maybellibe-Lash-Sensational-Collection-Eyes-Uncovered-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog

Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon in "Sweet Macchiato" | £7.99 | LINK
I absolutely love the Bourjois lip crayons and when I heard that they released a few more for Spring 2015 I had to pick one up! Out of the 3 new shades I thought I would try Sweet Macchiato which is a brown/ nude toned red that is very easy to wear. It's almost like a darkened version of your own natural lip colour, so works really well for an everyday look. I wasn't too impressed with the other shades Pinking Of It and Proudly Naked, mainly because I'm not a fan of bright pink lips and the nude was far too sheer for my liking, but I would highly recommend the rest of the collection!

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara in "Black" | £7.99 | LINK
After falling in love with Benefit's Roller Lash mascara, I thought I would try out the new high street alternative from Maybelline called the Lash Sensational Mascara. The wand is a very similar shape to the Roller Lash and does give your lashes lots of volume and definition. I'm thinking of doing a comparison post on my blog soon so do keep and eye out for that!

Boots-Spring-Summer-Makeup-Haul-2015-Bourjois-Rouge-Edition-Velvet-So-Hap'pink-Peach-Club-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lip Lacquers in "So Hap'pink" & "Peach Club" | £8.99 each | LINK
I've seen these lip lacquers from Bourjois on lots of blog recently, but I don't think these are the newest releases. However the colours and shades in this range instantly attracted me and I thought I would try out a couple of shades for the Spring/ Summer time! The 2 I picked out are So Hap'pink which is a bright dusty pink and Peach Club which is a gorgeous peachy coral shade. These lip lacquers are super pigmented and feel really comfortable on the lips despite having a velvet/ matte finish. They also last such a long time on the lips, even if you've been eating or drinking which is amazing!

L'Oreal Top Coat Flower Boheme in "Boho Look" | £4.99
As soon as I saw this super cute top coat I had to pop it into my basket! It contains little flecks of pink strands plus white flowers that look lovely against a pale pink nail polish. This is definitely a great top coat for the Summer as it adds a real girly twist to your nail polish. I also found that this top coat helps keep my nail polish chip free for a good few days.

Essie Mini Nail Polish in "Naughty Nautical" & "Snap Happy" | 50p each | LINK
My final purchases from Boots were my clearance section finds in the form of 2 mini Essie nail polishes! These are smaller versions of the standard Essie polishes, so they had obviously come loose from a set which is why they were just 50p each! The first shade I found was Naughty Nautical which is a beautiful blue/ green colour with a subtle silver shimmer. This is actually a shade I've wanted to try for ages and I was so excited to find this in the clearance section. I also picked up a stunning blood orange shade called Snap Happy which will be perfect for this time of year!

So this is everything I've picked up from Boots recently! I'll definitely be posting some reviews of these products but do let me know in the comments which ones you'd like to see first. I'm so excited to give everything a go, especially the Collection eye shadow palette and my bargain Essie nail polishes!

The Body Shop Beauty Haul

The-Body-Shop-Beauty-Skin-Body-Facial-Care-Haul-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog

The other day I placed a fairly large order on The Body Shop website and I thought I would show you what products I picked up! At the time they were holding a 50% off sale and I also had a 40% off code, so let's just say I felt like a kid in a sweet shop! I've managed to pick up some products I've wanted to try for quite a while plus there's a couple of impulse buys which I think have turned out to be some great finds!

The-Body-Shop-Haul-Vitamin-E-Sink-In-Moisture-Mask-Brazil-Nut-Beautifying-Oil-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog

Vitamin E Sink-In Moisture Mask
After falling in love with my Vitamin E night oil from Body Shop, I thought I would finally try out some more products from the line. This skin care line is targeted at all skin types and is particularly great for sensitive skin which is why I love this range. The first things I popped into my basket were a few of these Vitamin E moisture masks as they sounded really nourishing and lovely for my skin. These worked out after all the discounts at 60p each which I thought was great, especially if they work really well!

Brazil Nut Beautifying Oil
In the Summer time I really get into applying body lotions and butters, but I've never actually tried a body oil. Out of all the scents they had on offer I decided Brazil Nut would be the nicest. It also contains almond oil which is known for it's super hydrating qualities. What's great about these oils is that they can be used on your hair, face and body so have tonnes of uses! The oil is really lightweight so I'm sure it will be lovely for an over night nourishing facial treatment or to help smooth down any fly-away hairs during the day.

The-Body-Shop-Haul-Vitamin-E-Hydrating-Toner-Camomile-Silky-Cleansing-Oil-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog

Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil | LINK
I've read quite a lot of good reviews about this cleansing oil and I thought it was worth trying whilst I had my discount code. What I love about oil cleansers is that they instantly dissolve any traces of makeup and are super gentle on the skin. As this cleansing oil contains camomile, it's perfect for sensitive and dry skins and will keep your skin feeling soft and supple. I used this last night to remove my makeup and it's really quick and simple to do - definitely a new favourite for my skin care routine!

Vitamin E Hydrating Toner | LINK
I ran out of my facial toner ages ago and never bothered to pick a new one up as my skin seemed to be fine without one. But as we go into the warmer months, it's always nice to have something like this in your skin care routine to help freshen up your face. Again this is from the Vitamin E line so is really gentle on the skin whilst helping remove any last traces of makeup and impurities. I've used this a couple times and I do find it lovely on the skin. I will probably do some in depth reviews on these 2 products in a couple months and let you know how I get on with them!

The-Body-Shop-Haul-Raspberry-Exfoliator-Vanilla-Body-Butter-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog

Early-Harvest Raspberry Body Scrub
I honestly can't get over how amazing this body scrub looks and smells - it's gorgeous! It contains really raspberry extracts and seeds which makes it fairly gentle on the skin. I love how it looks just like raspberry jam and smells good enough to eat (however it clearly says on the tub not to!) This will be a lovely body scrub to use in the Summer as the fruity scent will be really refreshing and revitalising in the shower!

Vanilla Brulee Body Butter
My final products in my Body Shop haul was actually the main reason why I even placed an order on the website! My boyfriend gave me a mini version of the Vanilla body butter at Christmas time and since then I've had it on my to-buy list as it smells absolutely amazing! Luckily it went into the sale and with the added 40% off it made this huge tub of body butter just under £4 - bargain! I love how quickly these body butters sink into your skin and leave it feeling soft and smelling lovely. I find these scent also lasts such a long time, so I'd definitely recommend you trying out their body butters!

So this is everything I picked up from The Body Shop recently and I'm so excited to start trying out all of these products. I believe all together these products came to £24 which I think is great considering a couple of these were full price and I've been able to try so many products that have been on my wish list for quite some time! I hope you enjoyed today's post and I'll speak to you again soon!

Fashion Haul | Primark, Miss Selfridge & More

Primark-Miss-Selfrdige-Fashion-Clothes-Shoes-Haul-2015-Dorothy-Perkins-Oasis-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog

As we're now going into the Summer months, the shops are now starting their mid-season sales and of course (being a massive shopaholic) I can't resist a good bargain! With the added factor that I have finally booked 2 holidays for the Summer to Menorca and Lanzarote, I felt like I had a good reason to splurge a bit on some new clothes. A lot of these pieces I had actually had my eye on for quite a while, so I was pleasantly surprised to find them in the sale for such a good price! I've also needed to update my Spring/ Summer footwear for quite some time now and I've managed to find some really lovely shoes that will last me right through the season!

Fashion-Haul-Primark-Miss-Selfridge-Dog-Tooth-Top-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog

Miss Selfridge Dog Tooth Top | £7.00 | LINK
This little crop top (and the matching skirt below) was one of the main pieces that I very nearly bought a couple weeks ago - good job I waited as I was able to find them in the sale in my local House of Fraser! I'm a big fan of monochrome clothes as they're so easy to wear and go with almost anything. I think this top will be great for the upcoming months as it's lightweight, super soft and can be made to look Summery if you pair it with a bright necklace or some cute denim shorts.

Fashion-Haul-Primark-Miss-Selfridge-Dog-Tooth-Mini-Skirt-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog

Miss Selfridge Dog Tooth Mini Skirt | £10.00 | LINK
As they also had the matching skirt left in my size, I thought I may as well pick up the co-ords set in this pattern as they look really cute worn together and separately are both staple pieces to have in your wardrobe. Again this is made from a lovely soft material and to make it Summery I would definitely pair it with a bright coloured crop top and some pretty sandals.

Fashion-Haul-Primark-Miss-Selfridge-Laser-Cut-Crop-Top-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog

Miss Selfridge Cut Out Crop Top | £25.00
 I'm always looking out for simple tops that can be worn with anything. I spotted this cute little white crop top in Miss Selfridge and thought it would be perfect to pair with skirts, shorts, patterned trousers - you name it! I really liked the cut out detail across the bottom and the added white gems make it really Summery and cute. It also comes in black (which I'm really tempted to get) so this top is a great staple for any wardrobe! 

Fashion-Haul-Primark-Miss-Selfridge-Black-Geo-Print-Mini-Skirt-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog

 Miss Selfridge Black Geo Print Mini Skirt | £15.00 | LINK
 Again this is another skirt I've had my eye on and was very happy to finally see it in the sale in my size! I find this style of mini skirt from Miss Selfridge comes up really big so I do recommend you trying it on before purchasing. These skirts are really easy to wear as they're flattering and super comfy. They're also great to dress up for a meal out with friends or just to wear during the day when out shopping!

Fashion-Haul-Primark-Miss-Selfridge-Oasis-Puppy-Tooth-Shorts-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog

 Oasis Puppy Tooth Shorts | £8.00 | LINK
More dog tooth print - what can I say, I'm just too obsessed with black and white prints! These little tailored shorts are a great all year round piece as they look great with thick tights in the Winter and also just with a coloured camisole top when it's warmer!

Fashion-Haul-Primark-Miss-Selfridge-Burgundy-Textured-Skater-Skirt-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog

Primark Burgundy Textured Skater Skirt | £1.00
I love finding amazing bargains in the Primark sales and this cute skater skirt for just £1? How could I pass it up! This skirt is made from a thick textured material so would probably suit more in the cooler months, but as the weather is never guaranteed in England, I'm sure I'll get plenty of wear out of this before Summer starts! This skirt looks great with little white tops or shirts tucked in and some black ankle boots. A great versatile piece that was an absolute bargain!

Fashion-Haul-Primark-Miss-Selfridge-Dorothy-Perkins-Scallop-Edge-Flat-Pumps-Aqua-Nude-Close-Up-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog

Dorothy Perkins Scallop Edge Flat Pumps in Aqua & Nude | £12.00 each | LINK
I've been after some simple flats for such a long time and was really happy to find these little beauties in Dorothy Perkins! The scallop edges were an instant winner with me and because I couldn't decide whether to get the aqua or nude colour, I got both! I thought that the tan flats will go with pretty much everything and the aqua ones will add a lovely pop of colour to an outfit. These flats are comfy to wear all day, but definitely need some wearing in as they've given me some nasty blisters on my heels - ouch!

Fashion-Haul-Primark-Miss-Selfridge-Material-Flower-Nude-Sandals-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog

Primark Nude Flower Sandals | £6.00
Primark have some amazing sandals in at the moment, and with my 2 holidays coming up I thought I would start early and pick up a few pairs. The first ones I spotted were these super cute nude material floral sandals that have rose gold and sparkly details in the middle of each flower! These sandals will go with any outfit as they're a simple nude colour and will help complete any girly look.

Fashion-Haul-Primark-Miss-Selfridge-Rose-Gold-Strap-Sparkle-Sandals-Close-Up-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog

Primark Rose Gold Strap Sandals | £6.00
I can definitely say these sandals will be a firm blogger favourite this Summer. Rose gold, sparkles? Who could possibly say no to that! Again as they are a simple nude colour these sandals will go with everything and I really can't wait to wear them! I like that these have that added strap across the foot as I'm always worried my sandals are going to flip off when I'm walking! These are absolutely gorgeous and definitely recommend you picking up a pair when you're next in Primark!

 The last shoes in my fashion haul are a simple pair of tan cut out sandals that cost a mere £4! I always go for sparkly sandals and thought I should get a simple pair that I can wear on a day to day basis. What's also great is that these sandals are ridiculously comfy as the faux leather is really soft and hugs the foot really well. Just be careful about tan line with these, unless you like the mosaic effect haha!

I hope you enjoyed today's fashion haul! The high street shops seem to have some great pieces out at the moment, whether it's in their sales or new lines, so definitely take a look. If you've written a fashion post recently I would love a read so leave your links below! Thanks for reading!

Soap & Glory Beauty Haul

Soap And Glory Beauty Haul Winter 2015 Belle-Amie UK Beauty Fashion Lifestyle Blog

Hello everyone! I hope you're all well and looking forward to your weekend ahead. In my last post I completely forgot to mention that last weekend I actually took the plunge and invested myself into a brand new Canon camera - the Canon EOS 1200D to be exact! I did use the camera for my last post, but at the time I still had absolutely no idea what I was doing with it so the pictures aren't the best quality in the world. Over the past week I've been playing around with settings and watching lots of YouTube videos on how to use DSLRs properly, so hopefully my photos will gradually start to become better quality!

I am so excited to take lots of pictures with my camera and just so you know, I didn't buy it purely for my blog (as I completely believe normal digital cameras work really well) but also because I have an interest in photography and have always wanted to own a good quality camera! Do let me know if you notice any difference in my picture quality or if you have any tips and tricks on using a Canon camera in the comments below!

Over the past couple years Soap & Glory has become one of my favourite brands to use. Their extensive makeup, skin care and body care range offer some amazing products and I have started to notice that I own far too many of them! The other day I decided to take advantage of Boot's latest deals on the Soap & glory products and pick up some new products as well as some of my essential products from the brand. The makeup is currently buy one get one half price and their skin care has up to half price off, which is definitely a deal not to be missed!

Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Shine Lacquer | £7.00 each | LINK
After trying their lip lacquer in Riot last year (read the post here) I told myself that I needed to try out some more shades from the line. As someone who enjoys a good coral lip, picking up Whatchama-Coral was a no brainer for me and was the first product to find its way into my basket. Whatchama-Coral is a beautifully intense coral shade with a hint of shimmer to it. As there has been lots of hype about a brown nude lip recently, I also picked up Charm Offensive to use as an everyday shade and again, it has an amazingly opaque finish with a slight shimmer. What I love about these lacquers is that they don't feel heavy or sticky on your lips yet still offer lots of colour. I also love that they feel smooth on your lips and apply really easily. I will be reviewing these 2 shades very soon, so keep an eye out for swatches!

Super-Colour Fabulipstick | £9.00 | LINK
The next lip product I picked up was another lipstick from the Super-Colour Fabulipstick line. I absolutely adore my lipstick in The Missing Pink (read the post here) and thought I should try out another shade that I could use everyday. As The Missing Pink is a pink shade, I thought picking up a more red toned lipstick would be nice to add to my collection. I decided to go for Perfect Day which is a natural red shade with a satin finish. These lipsticks feel so nourishing on the lips and I would recommend them to anyone! Again, I will be reviewing this lipstick soon where I will include lots of swatches.

Peaches & Clean Cleanser | £8.00 | LINK
Moving on to, what I'd like to call, my "staple Soap & Glory" products. Firstly I picked up one of the Peaches & Clean cleansers which is what I use to cleanse and clean my face everyday. I think this cleanser has some stick for being quite harsh and causing people to have allergic reactions, but I've never once has this issue - despite having very sensitive and dry skin! This cleanser removes all of my makeup and has really helped clear up my skin from blemishes. This is definitely a product I will keep repurchasing in the future!

Thick & Fast Mascara in Super Jet Black | £10.00 | Review | LINK
I have been an avid fan of this mascara for years! The Thick & Fast mascara offers length, volume and definition to the eye lashes all in one nifty little tube. This is just an all round brilliant mascara and is always one that I come back to using. These mascaras also last a really long time without drying up but I always like to make sure I have a back up in my drawer at all times!

Archery Brow Tint & Pencil in Brownie Points | £10.00 | LINK
Finally I picked up one of my favourite makeup products I own, the Archery Brow Tint and Pencil. To me, eye brows are an important feature as they helped to frame your face - so it's essential to keep them looking their best! I find the tint side offers a really natural finish to your brows whilst at the same time making them look fuller and more defined. I really love that you get 2 products in one as well as I do like to use the pencil side if I'm going for a more natural look.

So these are some of the products that I have picked up from the Soap & Glory brand recently! I will definitely be reviewing the lip products, but if you would like to see a post on how I fill in my brows using Archery then do let me know.
