"Simple" Review

Evening!

Today I'm going to be doing a simple review of one of my favourite simple products: the Kind To Skin replenishing 12 hour moisturiser by simple! (See what I did there?)

I purchased this from Superdrug last week due to the fact I am very 'lacking' in the moisturiser part of my daily face routine and so therefore it was time to buy a new one. I picked this up for only £2.00 for 125ml thinking that if it wasn't quite what I was looking for it wasn't really a massive loss.

I apologise for the camera, still haven't gotten my nikon fixed yet! :(

Despite the fact that I wasn't expecting brilliant results from this due to its low price tag, it is actually surprisingly good. I had quite patchy dry places around my nose and lips due to the cold weather and this really helped me out, leaving my skin feeling 'replenished' as promised.

The texture of this cream is very soft, not too heavy and not too milky, just right! It's not too 'dewey' or greasy and it doesn't leave my skin looking remotely shiny like other moisturisers I have used in the past - which by the way was a big put off. 

I think that this moisturiser is a good all round product with an added bonus of no horrible perfumes to cause irritation. I've been using it for about a week or so now everyday underneath my makeup and in the evening as a part of my daily skincare routine. It's packaging is good as well, no fancy frills or anything just straight to the point! It's also easy to control how much you use also meaning that you have no surprises when squeezing it out - WASTE NOT WANT NOT!

Sorry this post was a little late!

I didn't start until 7:45, oopsie me!

Goodbye beautys!

See you soon!

Grandad

It's FRIDAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Getting right to it - if you were wondering why I did not post on Wednesday evening, here's your answer. Sadly, on Tuesday morning I experienced the passing of my Grandad Bob and so I'd like to dedicate this blog post to him. Death is an everyday thing which everybody will experience the loss of a loved one at some point and despite the fact of knowing that death is inevitable we still are never quite prepared for it. I, personally, have never experienced the loss of a loved one, because, fortunately I suppose, the only members of my family that have passed away were when I was too young to even begin to recelect losing them at all and so therefore the past few days have been quite rough for me and my brother but I do believe I am ready to get back into the saddle of blogging.. so hello!

We, as a family, wish to celebrate our Grandfathers life (as a pose to mourning) and so therefore I feel as if I should play my part and include you guys in my life and write a blog post dedicated to him.

Grandad and I, perhaps my favorite photograph that I own of us two

"When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure."

" You and I will meet again,

When we're least expecting it,

One day in some far off place,

I will recognize your face,

I won't say goodbye my friend,

For you and I will meet again."

I'd just like to hope that my Grandad has now been re-united with Gran, slow dancing to their favourite song and re-living their moments together. 

Rest in Peace Grandad,

forever in our hearts.

New Blogging Days and Prom Dresses

Eveeeeening!

I've decided that because I really like things in a certain way in everything I do that it would be better if I was to specify "blogging days". This means it'll fit in with my schedule and I'll be able to fit it around revision, hospital appointments and just general life. And so consequently, my new blogging days will be Sunday, Wednesday and Friday (at probably between 5-7)! So if you're one of the people that sometimes enjoy having a nosey around FFF then pencil me into your diary!

Moving swiftly on, the time has came where everybody's rushing around (if they haven't yet) in order to get their prom dress and shoes and transport sorted but for me - it's not like that. Sadly, I may not get the opportunity to go to prom due to my low attendance due to hospital appointments and other causes meaning I needed to take the day off of school. Our school has a policy meaning that if you have attendance below 95% then we may not be allowed to go. Despite this there may be a chance that I get to go and so therefore, ba-du-bum DRESS SHOPPING! 

I have this idea of the perfect dress that I'd really like to get but I've heard stories that some people have that idea and then realise that isn't actually what they want when they get it. If everything goes to plan I'd like a long black dress that touches the ground, sort of like an empire style dress but without the capped sleeves! 

Despite what I just said, I just found this and I'm liking it!
£50.00 - New Look.
Bargain dress with the risk of having the same dress as another girl? I'm not gonna risk it!

Again, despite what I just said, I may have found the most beautiful dress (in my eyes) to ever excist..
If only it was in black *HUMUNGOUS SIGH*
And apparently I can buy this in Harrods and GAH NO PRICE.
Perhaps we're just not meant to be..

At this point it probably seems as if I'm liking the one shoulder thing.. I'm not, that's just the way things are going at the moment!

BINGO! This is.. fabulous.
Is this a potential win?
£74.00 from DresseShop.co.uk..
It's a bargain but an online shop? Mehhhhhh

I always struggle with how to end these posts. I am in love with all three of these dresses, all of them have potential I'm just unsure if they're risky buys? What are your opinions! What prom dresses did you get? Let me know! 

                   

 I'm just gonna go with the classic, goodbye!

OOTD | Old Denim and New Shoes

Hiya everyone!

Today I'd like to share with you my first outfit of the day on this blog. If you're following me on tumblr you would've already seen this as I posted this on Saturday morning and so technically this isn't an OOTD it's SOTD.. Anyway, without further ado..

My dog Lucky clearly approves.

I am wearing an oversized denim shirt from Evans - which was my mums from way back in the day. I'd say she probably bought it in the 90's because there's baby pictures with her wearing it holding me (awww for baby Bex?). MOOOVING swiftly on as you can't purchase that any more! 

I am also wearing high waisted stirrup leggings from - oh you're probably all going to hate me for this - George at Asda. I really wanted some high waisted leggings for a reasonable price and when I was shopping with my Nan a couple of months ago I came accross these and had a eureka moment. I bought them for the tiny price of £8 I believe and I actually got two pairs as they were so cheap!

My vest is just a simple - pick me up anywhere - kinda vest which I, personally bought from New Look for £2.99.

My bracelets are a mix from New Look and Primark and all different places - I was having a miss-match day.

And finally.. dum dum dummmm.. my new shoes! In my previous post if you've read that you would've noticed I said I was going to buy some new shoes, and well - here they are! Yes.. I know they're not very girly but I have my fair share of pumps and heels and I needed a change! I bought these from Size? for £65 (the cheapest I could find them) and I am in love with them.. apart from the fact they do take about a year to put on, but I love them all for it! 

Click any of the links in the description to take a look.

Thanks for reading!

See you all next time!

QOTM | Being Yourself

Merry Prevening.

You'll know what I'm talking about if you watch The Big Bang Theory and if not well.. Hello!

Today I thought I'd start a new segment of my blog which I've been contemplating for a few weeks which is a Quote Of The Month which I'll tell you a quote which I plan to live by for this month in order to 'inspire' me and perhaps you so to speak. 

I stole this from Tumblr. Thanks if this is your image!

I just think that this is quite a deep quote with quite a vast meaning. If you think about it there is quite a lot of people that are looking to put you down for not being the same as everyone else if maybe you don't have branded clothes or look the same as everybody else but who cares! Be yourself! 

Also - everyone guess what, I'm buying new shoes! I guess that is what made me choose this quote for this month. Woo for new shoes anybody?

Thanks for reading my short and sweet blog post for today

you can follow my tumblr here: http://f4bu1ous.tumblr.com/ .. I'm just getting used to this stuff, bare with me!

Pretty Peplum

Hiya girlies (and guys)!

Last weekend I went and bought my first ever peplum top. I didn't think that I was a fan of these until I tried mine on as a 'spur of the moment' type thing and quite frankly - I am so glad that I did! 

This peplum top was only £8.99 (another reason why I couldn't just leave it) from New Look and  according to the website it comes in five colours, cream like mine and an additional black, grey, dark green and rich purple.. I may have to go back and buy a different one as well!

At first I didn't like the idea of peplum tops on bigger people, surely it would show off all of the bits I didn't want to show off, but it actually does the opposite. I really like it. 

Excuse the awkward pose and the scruffy background.. and how scruffy the top looks on when I'm posing.. Awkward.

So far I haven't yet worn mine on a casual occassion but I have worn it (above) with disco side-panelled leggings and black wedges. I think I am going to buy one of those peter pan collars to wear with it. Eek, so many opportunities from just one top.

By the way anybody looking to buy a peplum top, they have a sale on with lots and lots of peplum's for cheap prices so if I were you I'd go have a cheeky browse!

A few of my favourites for less:

Butterfly Print Peplum top

Cap Sleeve Rose Printed Peplum top

Embroided Peplum top

Or

My Peplum top

I never know how to end these..

Bye! Haha!
