Favourites

Hello!
Because I'll be absent tomorrow because I'm going to London (hopefully next Sunday's post!), I thought I'd post this now.

Quick Beauty Update

Hello.

I didn't want to fail on my first day of my 'new' posting schedule but lets say I'm halfway there (I forgot to take some photos to add to this blog, thats me!) so I'm going to be using internet photos for this one: sorry for the pain.

------------
It's becoming Autumn.
Slowly but surely the leaves are beginning to fall off the trees and all that jazz, and this is the time of year when I want to maybe mix up the colours I've been wearing on my lips/blush for the summertime and maybe tone it down again for the colder months.
So I decided to make this quick list of my top 3 Autumn lip products (that I already own, it's kind of like a shop my stash!)

I've already raved about this don't hold me to it, but this peachy lipstick by Loreal is my definite favourite for the autumn months. I feel like peach is such a gorgeous autumn colour and really suits the more flushed complexion you might receive when the weather gets a bit colder.
around £8- any drug store 

This time it's matte. Bright red is another colour which I love,love,love to wear when the weather is a bit colder/absolutely miserable, as it totally brightens things up when everything is all grey. The red lipstick I have is the Kate Moss lasting finish matte lipstick from Rimmel London, in the shade 111, which on the website doesn't look bright (trust me in real life it is). I'm also really interested in buying the shade 107 as I think a darker red is also great for Autumn.
£5.49- any drug store

So many people have talked about these and I'm afraid I'm about to follow the trend (well not follow, I've had these for a while!)
The Apocalips Lip Lacquer by Rimmel London is perfect for long wear lip colour which has the shine of a lipgloss whilst having the pigmentation of a lipstick. What more can you ask for? I have the shades Luna and Celestial but I am certainly interested in buying more!
£5.99- any drug store

-------------------
So there we go.
Top three.
The ones that made the cut.

I hope you enjoyed reading this post, if I enlightened you about a new product or maybe you want to suggest a product to me, leave it in the comments, I'm always open to suggestions!

See you soon,
Lauren!

Update!

Hello.
I'm so frustrated with my lack of posting.
That sounds silly though.
Most of you will be thinking, 'Why Lauren, that's your fault!', and indeed it is.

I love blogging.
Taking the photos, editing them, composing the words- it's something I want to do in the future!
So why can't I commit to it?

So I'll try and start anew.
Who knows, maybe I'll start to gain some more readers?!
My stats show me that I have at least 3 page views a day (and that's certainly not me looking at it because I haven't in a month.)
So if you're reading, please drop me a comment, or tweet me on @laurenjanegeall on twitter, just to let me know what you think about the content I'm producing and how it can be improved etc.

Sorry for the rant!

Now for a kind of schedule I want to stick to; notice the word kind as lets be honest I will never 100% stick to a schedule!
I want to still write about beauty, but I would also like to write about fashion, music, and more lifestyle/chatty posts.

Tuesday: My staple post day.
I'll make sure that if I don't post any when else, I'll post on this day once a week.

Wednesday: Beauty product of the week.
I use a lot of products and buy lots of things (I swear I have an obsession whoops) so I might as well tell you about them because otherwise I'm just spending lots of money!

Friday: Fashion, fashion, fashion!
Everything fashion. I love it.

Sunday: Lifestyle
= week in summary, news, updates, reviews, stuff.

See you tomorrow!
Lauren.

Holiday in the Sun

Dear people of the internet,
Hello again!
I've been so busy with summer related activities that I keep forgetting that I'm committing myself to a blog.
But don't worry, soon the typical English autumn will arrive and I can assure you that I will have plenty of rainy,miserable evenings where I will put off studying for blogging (because who prefers studying over the internet.)

This summer I took my holiday on the gorgeous island of Malta.
Malta is an island in the Mediterranean (thankyou autocorrect) with beautiful coastlines and an Italian style culture which I enjoy (especially the pizza.)
This was my 5th year in Malta and one of my favourites, as I haven't been on a 'warm' holiday in so long, as last year we went to Cornwall in the summer and then took an Autumn break in New York (hurricanes are no fun.)

We stayed in St Julians Bay at the Hilton Hotel Malta.
Here are some photos I took during our stay:


















Where did you go on holiday?
I'd love to know in the comments!
