My new makeup; L'Oreal.

I haven't talked about beauty in ages, but recently I've bought new products that I want to talk about and I love watching those makeup videos on Instagram where the ladies are beautiful and talented so I've been desperate to do beauty post! Both my Rimmel foundation and concealer ran out at the same time which is useful because I like to have the same concealer as my foundation. 

I looked around my local boots and swatched a lot. My hand was covered in different foundations! My favourite foundation was the L'oreal True Match foundation, because of the consistency which suits my dry skin and the range of shades. I enjoyed being able to match my skin tone so well. The only problem is this shade is more my summer skin than my pale winter skin, but I always blend it down my neck to avoid the horrible foundation line, but its blenability (definitely not a word) is really good.

 The coverage is about medium and I would avoid layering it to avoid the 'cakey' look, however the concealer is not high coverage. Its slightly annoying because I really need the coverage, but this would be perfect for other people who only want a little helping hand.

I love the powder! As a blogger I used the Rimmel 'stay matte' which was all the range a few years ago so I loved branching out into other products. I would really recommend it as a change as its so smooth and has a lovely finish to keep the shine away.

And now my favourite purchase! This wasn't exactly necessary but I treated myself to this stunning red lipstick so I can be ready for the festive season. I was actually really impressed with its staying power even after eating. 

Have you bought anything recently for the winter time?

New love for Midis.

I am a big dress wearer and I always have been, but shockingly I have never owned a midi dress until now. I never thought about wearing something longer in the day time or on a night out and I tend to mostly wear dresses in the summer which is the norm, right?

I always thought of longer dresses as really dressy and not for casual day wear, but obviously I was wrong. This Boohoo dress is gorgeously flowy which really contrasts with my leather jacket and boots which are worn daily in the autumn.The flowers are so autumnal that I thought it would be a great addition to my autumn wardrobe even though I wouldn't normally pick something with a pattern, especially on a big piece like this, but the mustard was so autumnal and definitely a trend this season that I had to get it. I love trying to wear the season trend in an unconventional way. Don't get me wrong, my mustard jumper has been to pieces over the years. 

This dress can be dressed up and down depending on the shoe, jacket or accessories. I flipping love this clutch bag from Primark which I only picked up because I needed a clutch for nights out, but I actually love to wear it in the day time, because of the handy wrist strap. The leather and patent leather brings together the jacket and my favourite Raid boots which will probably get a post to themselves in the future. 

I hope you like the way I've styled this midi dress and I cannot wait to explore the midi trend more.
