Orelia Jewellery Part 2

My latest obsession is Orelia jewellery. I love their jewellery and I can't stop buying! They have too many gorgeous pieces to choose from and I can't help but want them all...
I only two pieces on Monday night and they were at my door this morning (Wednesday), very quick standard delivery and all wrapped up with a cute bow. Once I had opened the package, the inside was all neatly wrapped up with matching tissue paper. I was impressed!

Diamante Collar

Diamante Collar
 The diamante collar is simply stunning, as its elegant and a true statement piece. This is an essential piece which adds a touch of colour and sparkle. It will look lovely with knitwear and chiffon tops. It was £25 and is now £5, a proper bargain and I love it! This has to be my favourite piece by far.
Scalloped Necklace

Scalloped Necklace
 Another simply stunning statement necklace! One of my must-haves that will go with most outfits. The elegant necklace features two rows of ornate scalloped detailing, perfect for those knitted jumpers! It was £25, but is now £6, this is an astonishing price for such a beautiful piece of jewellery. I recommend this, as it is a must-have. I love it!
Beaded Hoop Earrings

These beautiful rose gold coloured earrings are delicate and elegant. They look amazing on, as they shine and sparkle due to the scattered beadwork. I love these earrings a lot and they have to be one of my favourite pairs that I wear. They are comfortable and light on the ears and were £12, but now £6. The price is amazing, as they look rather expensive. 

I hope you all enjoy a peep at Orelia and love their new SS14 collection as much as I do!

Happy Shopping!

My 5 Make-Up Must Haves

I love make-up! I love expanding my make-up collection, but I do have my five necessities that I use every morning when I'm in a rush to get ready. All you need are five make-up must-haves. Here mine...I just can't bare to live without

MAC Foundation
MAC Mineralize Moisture SPF 15 Foundation
& MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF15
Mineralize Moisture SPF15 Foundation 
&
Studio Fix Fluid SPF15
I have two different types of MAC foundation. The mineralize moisture foundation has a lighter coverage than the studio fix fluid. I prefer a lighter coverage during the day that gives a natural skin finish and makes my skin look bright, fresh and soft. I love this foundation! 

The studio fix fluid has a medium to full coverage and is perfect for evenings and any day where I need that extra coverage. It gives a natural matte finish on the skin and makes your skin look smooth with an even skin tone and it''s also long-wearing. This is my favourite foundation!
Both foundations have a SPF15 this protects your skin from sun damage of UVA rays and I wear colour NC15.

Mineralize Moisture SPF15 Foundation NC15- £27.00
Studio Fix Fluid SPF15 NC15- £21.50

Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge

Miracle Complexion Sponge used with
MAC Mineralize Moisture SPF15
Foundation
Finding the perfect foundation applicator can take some time, but I have finally found the one make-up tool that leaves no brush lines, fingerprints and not uneven foundation coverage. 
Its a multi-functional sponge which I adore! This makes my morning make-up routine take less time. With the rounded end, blend large areas of the face with a repeated dabbing motion. If extra coverage is needed in one spot, press the sponge down onto the same spot and keep using the dabbing motion to get the extra coverage you need. The precision tip is perfect for covering up imperfections and blemishes. Finally, the flat edge is for contours and around the eyes and nose. The miracle complexion sponge is versatile and one of every girl's make-up must-haves.

Miracle Complexion Sponge- £5.99 at Boots

Benefit High Beam
High Beam
We all need a benefit make-up product in our lives. They are renowned for their amazing make-up and the high beam has always been the one item I have always wanted to buy, so I finally did and I haven't regret my decision. This make-up must have highlights cheek and brow bones. I love it! To apply, dab dots on the cheek and brow bone then, gently massage into the skin. This should give you an luminous look throughout the day. 

Benefit High Beam- £19.50      

MAC Prep + Prime Skin
Prep + Prime Skin

No matter what foundation you have, you always need a primer to prep your skin for make-up. This should give you longer lasting make-up all day and make your skin look smoother. I love MAC make-up! and this primer compliments my foundation really well. It makes my skin soft and smooth and makes it easier when applying foundation, I use less foundation when I have my primer on. This primer blots away excess oils and evens out redness. My perfect primer in a bottle!

MAC Prep + Prime- £20.50

MAC Dazzleglass
MAC Dazzleglass in Baby Sparks

We all need that one lip component to our make-up must-haves. This one is mine! This lip-gloss does what it says, its dazzles and shines whilst adding a pop of colour to the lips. The best thing about about MAC dazzleglass is that its non-sticky and moisturizes your lips. Available in 15 luscious colours, my colour is baby sparks.

MAC Dazzleglass Baby Sparks- £17.50
