OOTD & FOTD | Theme Park

Hello! So yesterday I went to Thorpe Park, a very well known theme park here in the UK, with one of my close family friends. It was a lovely day, thanks to the weather holding out and not raining on us. Though we went on many water rides so did end up getting soaked any way. Straight after I went to the cinema with another group, of friends to see 'Divergent' don't worry I dried off first, haha!. It was absolutely amazing and probably one of my top 10 films. I love a good love story in film, and have to say I am a crier! But I'd defiantly recommend it. So I needed an outfit and makeup look that'd be suitable for both.

FOTD

My makeup has changed quite a bit since the last time I posted a FOTD, this is mainly thanks to getting a lot of new make for Christmas! (thanks mum!)

Last Minute Christmas Gift Guide | For Her

Hello, sorry for lack of posts lately. Both me and Alanah have been really busy working for our a-levels. But don't worry its finally the Christmas Holidays! and I thought I'd do one sneaky Christmas post before Christmas is over. So here's a little help for buying Christmas presents for any girls in your life, like your mum, sister, friend. Most of these items are pretty cheap and could probably go in a stocking, hope you enjoy and get some inspiration.

Small Bag | Primark £6

I think a small bag to just keep some money and your phone in, is essential for any girl whether your on a night out, or away on holiday at some point you'll need a smaller bag you don't need to carry the entire contents of your home in. This particular one I purchased a while ago from Primark, but they tend to have them in all year round.

 Makeup Brushes | Real Techniques (price ranges)

This present is ideal for anyone whose into makeup and beauty. You don't have to buy this particular brand of makeup brush you can change the brand depending on how much you want to spend. Some brushes come in multiple packs which can end up being cheaper than if you were to buy them each separate. However they can be quite expensive. 

Eyeshadow base | Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24hr £5

Eyeshadow bases are really coming into brands more, Maybelline's were one of the first I saw and I think they're amazing, they are very pigmented so if you wanted to wear them on their own they'd be fine and they last for a very long time because of this. Many high end brands now do similar products to the colour tattoo, such as YSL and Mac so if you wanted to spend a bit more their suggestions to purchase. 

Makeup Pallet's | Sleek & Naked beauty

Makeup Pallets are an ideal Christmas present for a girl who likes makeup, there are such a range  in different pallets from eyeshadow to lipglosses, and they all come in so many different colours. You can really choose this product to fit the person your buying for such, from the colours that suits their skin tone, to the beauty products they prefer, there are also some great drugstore as well as high end products so depending on how much your spending, you can have lots to choose from.

Mascara | Benefit and Chanel

Again another beauty item would be mascara's I recommend both of these the Benefit mascara is the most popular mascara bought at £19.50 its pretty pricey, but I have to say you can see why people pay this price. It really add's volume and lengthens your lashes and I would defiantly recommend this mascara. A waterproof mascara I'd recommend would be Chanel's Inimitable Waterproof Multi Dimensional Mascara. This again really adds volume and lengthens your lashes, but its also waterproof. However you can change the mascara depending on your preference and budget.

Nail Polish | No7 (Boots) £7

Nail Polish is a lovely present any girl would be happy to receive and with such a range in brands, prices and colours you can most definitely change which one to buy depending on your preference of what you think whoever your buying for will like best. Nail Polishes last a very long time which I find makes your money go a long way no matter how much you spend, so any brand and any price would be good.

Phone Cases | Apple

Again you can choose this product to what brand, colour and price applies best to whoever your buying for. Phone cases are one of the most varied products there is. However I would definitely recommend Apple as a phone case brand to by from, the cases aren't the cheapest I'll admit, however if your a completely clumsy like me and always drop your phone its worth the expense, there's a range of colours available too.

Tartan Scarf | Primark £4

Now I feel everyone needs a Tartan scarf for winter they go with pretty much anything and come in so many colours and many shops have come out with them at a range of prices this year. I found this particular one in Primark, and its actually pretty good quality the material isn't overly thick however as its pretty long when wrapped around you neck a few times its perfect.

Perfumes/Body-sprays | Soap & Glory/Zara (range in price)

Now this is perfect for any girl, because hey, everyone loves to smell nice. Many shops do some lovely Christmas scents one I particularly love using in Winter is this one by Zara, I kindly received it for my birthday this year, its a very warming scent but not overly strong. Then a body spray I like using all year round would have to be 'Mist You' by Soap & Glory, it smells very fruity and is in a large bottle, its lasted me all year, and is a lovely fresh scent.

Thankyou for reading, I hope these gave you some inspiration on what to buy for some people, or present ideas for yourself. Let me know if you'd like to see reviews on any of these products of if I've missed anything out.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas wishlist 2013 | Alanah's

Hello! So.. we haven't posted for a couple weeks - we have both been very busy with school so we apologize for that.  Now we are on our christmas holidays hopefully we will be posting more often! 5 days to go til christmas aaaaah!

Anyway, here is my christmas wishlist - I haven't really asked for a main present this year, just little bits but I hope I can give you inspiration (even though I know it may be a little late now!)

Enjoy!

Beauty

1. Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette | £37

I have never tried a Naked Palette but always wanted to, I think that the third one looks really pretty and I love the pinky colors in it.

2. Soap and Glory Thick & Fast Flash Extensions Mascara | £10.50

I absolutely love Soap & Glory mascaras but haven't tried this one so fingers crossed it's good!

3. MAC Lipstick in ‘Sandy B’ | £15

I mentioned this in my makeup wishlist a while back and haven't got round to buying it again, so christmas is the perfect excuse!

4. Sleek Face Contour Kit (Light) | £6.49 
 Looking forward to trying this kit it looks beautiful!

5. Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter (‘Sweet Tart’ and ‘Sorbet') | £7.99

I've only had one of these and I loved it, so why not ask for a couple more ay?

6. Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm (‘Pink Punch’ ‘Peach Kiss’ ‘Mint Fresh’) | £2.99 

I had 2 of these.. and then left them in The Harvester (restaurant) aha, I loved them though!

7. Rimmel Exaggerate Automatic Waterproof Eye Definer (Noir) | £3.99 

Just my everyday eyeliner!

8. Jimmy Choo Perfume 40ml  | £33.50 

Perfect smell! I've tried a few samples of this and I love it so much. 

 

Fashion

1. Bershka Fur collar jacket (Medium Grey) | £69.99

I haven't actually asked for this for christmas because I've only just found it, but I am planning on buying it after Christmas because I absolutely love it!

2. Gilly Hicks Red Plaid Bra | £14.99 at the moment!

I love this pattern so why not have it on a bra? Also Gilly Hicks bras are so so comfy and I recommend checking them out - they are all for sale at £14.99 at the moment!

3. Black Timberland Boots | Around £120 I think

I love Timberlands and have wanted them for aaaages. I decided to opt for the Black as I tend to wear much more black than brown. Also they're different to the original brown Timberlands which I like.  I think they will go with a lot of things and I am really looking forward to wearing them (If I get them)

4. Jewelry | Varied prices

I have asked for jewelry and given my mum a few examples of what I like just to give her an idea.  I just need a bit more really.. not too fussed what it is. (Necklaces, Bracelets, Earrings, Rings...)

5.  Topshop Textured V Neck Top (Bottle) | £16

I have a grey one of these and I love it, it's not too cropped and the pattern is very pretty. The green one looks lovely too.  I have also just asked for 'tops' in general because my Mum is usually pretty good at picking things out for me.

6. Deena & Ozzy New Strappy Satchel | £30-£40 (Now out of stock)

I needed a smaller black bag as the one I have is pretty big, so this one will be great for going out shopping etc..

Random!

1.  New York wallpaper | Around £40 on eBay (but you can bid on them too)

I am wanting to redecorate my bedroom and I think this would look soo cool on a bedroom wall, I also love New York so why not!

2. Gift Cards (Topshop, Gilly Hicks etc)

There are a few things I would like to pick out myself so from other family members I thought it could be nice to get giftcards and then I can chose what I like.

3. Earphones

I just need some more because I keep breaking my old ones.. woooops!

4. Guitar Capo and Strings

Just need some new ones!

5. FOOOOD! 

Mainly M&M's because they're my favourite, but I have also asked for some Lindors and Nerds.  They will make good stocking fillers I think.

6. Blonde highlights

Obviously I can't get these on christmas, just maybe a gift card or something - or a booking to get them done in a salon.  

7. TV box for my TV

I have a TV.. but no box for it so I can't actually watch anything on it at the moment haha..

 

Okay so that's everything!

Now obviously I am not going to get all of this, but I like to give a lot of options and this is for my whole family I presume.  Also, my Mum likes to give surprises at christmas so she doesn't get everything on our lists.

I hope that you can get some gift ideas for other people my age (16) from this, and also maybe some things for your list (even though it's a tad late now!).  I hope you enjoyed, 

Happy Christmas!

OOTD | Rag Week Day 5 | Timewarp

Hello! So today the theme was time warp for our rag week. This could basically be anything from the past or the future. We both wore different things today apart from a couple bits.

 Sarah | 80's I think?                                                Alanah | 80's maybe? (I dont even know)

Jacket is from a boutique (not sure what)

Tops

Sarah | My top is actually Alanah's (thanks for letting me borrow it!) its from boohoo and is super big! but looks lovely tucked in. find it here

Alanah | My top is just a blue crop top which I got from Republic (Now USC) for only £3 in the sale! You can find it here. (Also my necklace is from H&M)

Bottoms

Sarah | I decided to wear a pair of high waisted disco pants that I'd purchased a while back from republic, now known as USC. As mine are quite old, they came out before the ones with the button and zipper did, which is upsetting as I do prefer those but these were a bargain at £10, and are unfortunately not in stock anymore.

Alanah | I wore some high waisted disco pants from H&M which I only got the other day and I absolutely love them - will probably wear these a lot! I can't find them online though but there are some similar - they were £24.99 but it was £10 off when I bought them so only £14.99!

Shoes

Sarah | Again, no surprise I wore my incredibly comfortable white converse, you can view our previous posts to see where I purchased these.

Alanah | My shoes don't really go with my outfit but I didn't really have anything.  I got these from Ralph Lauren in America so I don't know where to find them but they're very comfy!

Accessories and stuff

Sarah | As I was running quite low on money this month, I didn't wear as many accessories as Alanah, however I did wear a pair of hoop earings I purchased from Primark which came in a pack of 5 pairs for £2 (BARGAIN!) 

Alanah | So I wore some massive hoop earrings which you can kind of see in the photo.  They were from Topshop in the sale. 

 I wore red lipstick (Sandy from Grease inspired) which is a Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in shade 107.

I also filled in my eyebrows to a slightly different shape and curled my hair up in a side ponytail.

Thank you for reading, we hope you liked our outfits.

We have done OOTDs this week on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for Rag week so you can check them out.  

Today was the last day of our rag week but keep checking back for some more regular posts including reviews, ootds, fotd, hauls and many other things!
