Camel & Black

Nothing looks more classy and sophisticated than a camel and black colour combo. Perfect for casual day-wear, work wear and evenings, you just can't go wrong..ever.

Winter Berry Beauty

With Autumn in full swing and Winter just around the corner, it's time for a make-up makeover. Fresh porcelain skin, smokey eyes and statement berry lipstick is back.

November is one of my favourite months to give myself a little make-up restyle, so below I have gathered some of my favourite make up looks, favourite lipsticks and celebrity styles all in one little berry inspired post...

Get Yourself A Berry Lipstick
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Monte Carlo - £5.50 - Superdrug - Shop Here

To complete any make up look, a berry hue lipstick is the ultimate statement this season. My favourite lippy for this look has got to be Monte Carlo by NYX Cosmetics. The smooth texture glides on beautifully and lasts longer than your average product. Team with smokey brown eyes for a bold and daring look in seconds.

Perfect Your Smokey Eye Routine

Too Faced Natural Smokey Eye Kit - £32 - Debenhams - Shop Here

Smokey eyes add instant glamour and oozes femininity. The best smokey eye for this season is made up of a variety of browns, golds, deep chocolate hues and classic pink tones. The Too Faced Natural Smokey Eye Kit is perfect. The product is a saint as it helps you create your chosen look that can be updated from a natural day smokey eye to a high fashion look with the help of a seriously well thought out pallette.

Opt For A Matte Nail Varnish
Barry M Matte Nail Paint - £3.99 - Boots - Shop Here

Barry M is by far one of the best brands to look at if you're after specific colours and shades. The Barry M paint lasts forever and the latest matte range has been updated with this beautiful colour called 'Burgundy Crush'. The berry hues are perfect against any skin done, from pale porcelain to a dark olive. The matte effect works wonders and will complete your winter berry look with ease.
