Topshop Nail Varnish

Hello everybody!
Sorry I haven't posted on my blog in a while. I have been rather busy.
I am not feeling well today so I had to take the day off school; so instead of watching daytime TV, I have decided to make a blog post!
As you can see from the title, today's post is about nail varnish! I don't usually wear nail varnish myself but I do like to admire it on other people's nails! I have been told that it would look good on my nails so maybe I will try it out!

As I was scrolling through topshop's website I came across the Satin Matte Nails nail varnish collection which I thought had a lovely variety of colours!
I found several which I think would look lovely!
Firstly, I am rather fond of the Satin Matte Nails in Whisper. It is a pretty light blue colour which I think woud look lovely in Spring/Summer time (even though it has become Autumn now). It can be found here for only £6!
I also like Dungaree Dream from the same collection. It is also blue but a darker shade (if you cannot tell, I do like the colour blue). This colour is more suited to this time of year. It can be found here, also for £6.

Also on topshop's website, I found the Holographic Nails collection. I particularly like the colour Moondance which can be found here for £6.
If you are a fan of pink, the same nail varnish in the colour Wistful can be found here - also for £6.

That's it for today! If you have any suggestions of nail varnish, please comment below! I would love to reply to them!
Love, Ellie.

Jack Wills Wishlist

Hello everybody!
If you didn't already know, Jack Wills is my absolute favourite shop. Today I will share a few things with you that are on my "Jack Wills Wishlist".
My first item is the Aiskew Skirt. It is so floaty and beautiful. The colours are perfect for Autumn! It comes in a variety of colours but these two are my favourites!

I also adore this bag! It is quite expensive though so I won't be getting it...but I can dream!

That's all for today! I could carry on but I would end up putting the whole of the website on...

If you would like to tell me about anything that is on your Wishlist please let me know in the comments below!

I hope you enjoyed reading today's post! See you soon!

Love, Ellie.

Skin Care and Make-Up

Hello everybody!
I don't really use much make-up as I don't think I really need to at the moment, but there are a few items I use when I am having a bad skin day or when I notice a few spots.
I use "Spotless Skin Triple Action Face Wash" from Sinple - it really helps to reduce spots.
I also put some No7 "Perfect Blend Trio Concealer" on any areas of my skin that have spots just to make sure they are not too visible. This is really a great product because you can mix the tones to create the perfect match for your skin. It is also very useful for every day use!
That is my skin care routine done!
Once I have completed these steps, I use the "Volume Express The Falsies Black Drama" mascara from Maybelline. It really defines your eyelashes!
That is my make-up routine complete! I know there aren't many steps but I find that there isn't much time to do a beauty routine every day. I hope you enjoyed reading today's post!
Love, Ellie.

My Hair in Autumn/Winter

Hello everybody!
It is now autumn, which means for my curly hair, it sadly becomes frizzy because of the temperature change.
I thought that maybe a few of you might suffer from the same problem so I will give you a few tips on how to overcome it!
This is my daily routine!

Step 1:
The first thing I do with my hair is wash it. I use VO5 "Gloss Me Smoothly" shampoo and conditioner as I think it helps to reduce frizz. For maximum effect, leave the conditioner in for a while and then comb it thoroughly.

Step 2:
While my hair is still wet I run VO5 "Frizz Free Creme" through it as it makes it easier to work with.


Step 3:
I then let my hair dry naturally as it seems that hair dryers can make your hair even more frizzy so it is best to avoid them if you aren't using any heat on your hair.

This is my complete hair care routine which I hope will help you!
If you have any tips or products that you think work well, please tell me in the comments!
Love, Ellie.

Introduction

Hello! My name is Ellie and I am a 14 year old girl. I do not have any experience with blog making so I apologise if I do anything wrong!
I'm not sure what I am going to post about on this blog yet. I'm not much of a beauty-guru, but I may make some posts about shopping, and maybe some "favourites" posts.
I really hope that you will enjoy reading my blog and I hope I don't bore you with my rambling!
Love, Ellie.
