lately I love #5

Hello honey!

This lately I love isn't even remotely beauty/fashion related, so I do apologise for that!

Fairy tales!

There will be some of you that think this is ridiculous, because I am not 6. But I mean the good old fashioned fairy tales, with actual messages.

For example the Grim fairy tales and a new personal favourite Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales.

I honestly think their is something powerful about the messages that these old stories have, and how relevant they are today still.

I will, however, admit that there are some that are just crazy, but still entertaining!

Are you a fan of fairy tales? Or do you just think I'm a little weird haha!

Lots and lots of love, Beth xoxoxo

lately I love #4

Hello lovely!

Time for another lately I love! Bit of a different one this time, in that it is not beauty related, it is however, fashion related... very loosely!

Comfy shoes!

my purple Uggs and lovely Topshop slippers! 

I know some of you fashion conscious ladies (and men) out there will be recoiling at the sight of my bright purple Uggs, and to you I say it feels like a hug for your feet! To be honest, when I just nip up to the shops, I don't care what I have on my feet, comfort is key.

With the weather being as poopey as it has been in England recently, very cold and bitter, looking nice has definitely kind of taken a back seat for me.

This has basically meant me living in either my slippers (brought by my lovely boyfriend) or my Uggs.

Are you a sucker for comfort or a slave to your heels?

I know I'll always lean towards comfort!

Lots and lots of love, Beth xoxoxo

lately I love #3

Hello there beautiful!

This lately I love is an old favourite lipstick of mine which is sadly nearing its end. 

From the Rimmel Moisture Renew range, Spotlight Beige. 

I have never been a massive fan of nude lips, simply because I have quite pigmented lips anyway and any nude colours just look wrong. But this colour, oh my word, it's gorgeous and I have fallen in love with it again.

It's just the right mix of pigmented but also sheer so it doesn't cover over any natural pigmentation of your lips, so avoiding the concealer lips look that really doesn't suit me.

It doesn't cling to dry areas, it has medium staying power I would say, it wont last all day if you eat and drink but you wont need to reapply every five minutes. 

I just plain love it.

All the Rimmel lip products are amazing in my opinion if I'm being honest, they get it spot on every time!

Do you have any favourites from the Rimmel lip products?

This was laying in my draw for so long unloved, I feel quite guilty now!

Lots and lots of love, Beth xoxoxo

lately I love.. #2

Hello gorgeous! This post is all about...

my tangle teaser! 

(I picked it up in orange, my justification being that I will be able to find it in my bag.. but really I just liked it!)

I wasn't sure I would like this product, just because it costs £10.99 (but I paid with my Boots Advantage Card points, so 1099 points) which is a blooming lot of money/points for essentially a hair brush!

But oh my, how wrong could I have been? Foolish Past-Beth! 

This little handful of joy (ooerr ;)) has really gone above and beyond my expectations and is well worth the money.

I have insanely damaged hair and whenever I brush my hair (wet or dry) it breaks like crazy, but I had just accepted this as "one of those things".

However now I realise that it's not, I can't pretend to know how it works (far too technical for me!) but the Tangle Teaser doesn't break my hair at all, doesn't pull and actually makes it a lot shinier. 

I highly recommend this, I don't know what I would do without it now and it is something I will repurchase if need be!

Please do follow my blog (through GFC or by email if you prefer) if you liked this post and want to see more :)

Lots and lots of love, Beth xoxoxo
