MY FAVOURITE HIGHSTREET PICKS - TEENBLOGSERIES #3

its that time of week again where I try to read everyone's posts in one night and I end up staying up way too late! This Monday for the #teenblogseries, we have been asked to share our favourite highstreet store and a few of our favourite clothes from that store. It's an easy pick for me I must admit. 

My favourite clothes store in the whole entire world in NEW LOOK 

it makes me smile just thinking about it. I just love the modern decor in the shop and everything product on those shelves. So here's my favourite products as follows...(there may be half my wardrobe in this) also, I am NOT a photographer so sorry for the not so fancy pictures. 

My first pick is this dark red/maroon coloured jumper. I bought this last year for winter so I doubt they'll sell it now but it's jumper season so there'll be something similar I'm sure! It is THE comfiest jumper ever and I don't think it cost more than £20! It also has a little cute star at the bottom which doesn't fail to impress me (cos I'm like that) this jumper goes really well under Parker style coats as well for that winter look.

The next two I am doing together just because I love them equally but even more when they are worn together. I especially love the detail on the bottom of the black top and also the detail on the leggings. The leggings are extremely comfy and are new out so I'm sure you'll be able to get a pair yourself! this outfit is quite nice because with a nice pair of shoes you could wear it for a meal out or a family occasion but also it could be worn on a trip to the cinemas or shopping! 

 Now there's a good reason why I have got a picture of these shoes off the new look website rather than my own - white shoes don't stay white for very long...

now if you're like me, I wear converse everywhere! And I am a sucker for white shoes! but they don't stay white for long and converse is about £50 a pair. With these, they are a Tenner! I am probably on my 5th pair from new look and I have spent as much as I would on ONE pair of converse. the best thing is is that they sell them in the normal shoe department but also in the kids department which I thankfully still fit into (and they have watermelons inside!!!!) 

And last but definately not least, something a little more girly...

(Ignore the school socks) 

This is my favourite ever dress and I hope that it fits me as I grow up because I L.O.V.E it. I went shopping last year for a dress for my best friends party and saw this after spending all my money. I have to admit I was so gutted because I tried one in on the shop and everything. I then went through the terrible time of struggling to find it in a closer store or online. Fortunately it is and even if I do grow out of it or it gets ruined or something, I will be keeping it.

BEST FOUNDATION ROUTINE - TEEN BLOG SERIES #2

so it's 18:25 because I lost track of time so I'm just going to try and get this post written up because as usual, I'm always late for things...

this post is number 2 of the #teenblogseries started by Beth and Anouska! I've read some really nice blogs all week and I can't wait read all this weeks! today's post is about what I think is the best foundation routine for teenagers. I've already mentioned all of these products on a previous post which I will link below if you want to go read and I think these products are so underrated!

my school is especially strict on make-up but I really wasn't keen on going to school for 6 hours a day with nothing to cover my eyebags from lack of sleep (which all teenagers should understand) and the random spot breakouts. a couple of years ago I did used to have a lot of spots and I used a rimmel foundation and I think that is what caused my spots. Eversince I used these products, my skin is less irritated and it does a great job! 

I used the 'Natural Collection' by Boots Pharmacies and the clues in the name really. It's a natural looking foundation so it is well suited to making me look more awake at school without a heavy 'too much foundation' and 'cheesy wotsit' kind of face! they usually cost about £2-£3 which is a lot less than many other makeup brands! 

They are available in many shades and they have other ranges of that shade for example mine is labelled 'shineaway' because I have quite oily and shiny skin so it stops that!

I think that it is a good foundation for teens because it is natural and can be worn at school and it's one of those foundations where people say 'you have such clear skin' and when you say 'oh yeah I have foundation on' it leaves them gobsmacked haha! personally it makes me feel comfortable and it doesn't irritate my skin. The pressed powder available in that range does sometimes make my skin a little dry and flaky (mostly on my nose) but you can always use a different powder or no powder at all.

I hope this post is helpful to those of you who are looking for a cheap foundation that doesn't irritate your skin and doesn't make you look like a tangerine. I'm sorry that this is late up and I promise I will make sure that next weeks is on time!
