Review: Benefit Cha Cha Tint and Sun Beam

Yeah, yeah, another video. I am loving these! This is the last one I have right now so I might need to film some more during the week!

This time I review the teeny tiny Benefit products that I got free in November's InStyle magazine.

Time for another edition of Can't Be Bothered Sunday!

Hat: My Grandma's

Jumper: Topshop

Skirt: Topshop

Leggings: Primark

Shoes: New Look

This is what I wore yesterday, giving my new jumper a road test. It is so incredibly warm! I didn't need any sort of coat or jacket and I was as snug as a (bed)bug in a rug!

I have to admit, the adorable sheep-shaped elbow patches were what really drew me to this jumper.

We also experimented with the "beauty mode" settings on Rich's phone (I left the DSLR at home due to the rain). Apparently it just makes you look really blurry.

Top: Primark

Jumper: Topshop
Skirt: Topshop

Today I am a sailor! I love dressing up like this from time to time. It's just like being a kid again and raiding my grandma's wardrobe.

I hope you're all having lovely weekends. I'm off to Nando's and Primark today. What better way to spend a weekend?

Body: Boohoo

Skirt: H&M

This is my second Boohoo bodysuit. I love them so much! Unfortunately, the body is very short so I can't even do this one up! I just have to wear it like a standard top.

Maybe that's because my usual size 14 was out of stock so I risked buying a 12. Mind you, this skirt is a 12 and it fits me just fine. I guess this makes me a size 12 today for the I'm Proud of my Size link up. 

Panache Bra Fit Challenge

I only wear Panache Andorra bras. Seriously. I know that sounds like major product placement, but it's true. They're pretty, they come in loads of different colours (including the staple black, white and nude) and I know that they fit me.

As I'm sure all you ladies know, getting the bra that fits you just right is a mega challenge. Until I got fitted professionally, I had no idea that I was wearing completely the wrong size. 

So, when I was contacted to review the Panache Bra Fit Challenge, I was pretty intrigued. An online tool to help you check your bra size yourself, without having to trek into the town centre? Sounds good to me! 

You can try out the challenge for yourself here. You could also win a lingerie set for yourself, which is pretty nifty. Oh, and if you want to try those Andorra bras that I keep harping on about, you can buy them at Bravissimo. They come Becky-recommended! 

Tutorial Tuesday: How to create a 1960s beehive hairstyle

Ok, I haven't done a tutorial in forever and, I know, I've been saying for ages that I was going to show you how I create my beehive. Well, the good news is that Rich has got a new phone and it is super amazing for video. Better, in fact, than my camera. So expect a fair few videos around these here parts!

So I have finally got round to creating my beehive tutorial and, more importantly, you guys get to hear my voice for the first time! (I can't be the only person who is always desperate to know what my fellow bloggers sound like!)

Before we begin, you will need a rat tail comb, a standard comb (optional), a few hair pins and a gazillion millilitres of hairspray. Got it all? Cool, let's go! 

Hope you enjoy it and look out for some more videos shortly!

Body: Boohoo

Skirt: Topshop

Happy Monday! I hope your weeks have all got off to a great start!

Today I'm wearing one of my two new bodies from Boohoo. I love this. I'm such a fan of chiffon sleeves and this berry colour is perfect for autumn. It's just a shame that it's so low cut. Not one for work!

I'm also wearing my new clip-on fringe. I got it on ebay and, unfortunately, it was a lot darker than it looked online. It doesn't look too obvious in real life but, where the lights are shining right on my head here, you can clearly see the difference in shades! Oh well, I can always get a lighter one later!
