Garnier Deep Cream Wash review.

It's weird to think that this is my first skin care product review, but today's post will all be about Garnier Deep cream wash, and how it has works for my skin.

For me as I'm growing and wearing more make-up my face has to go through some consequences, but recently as we are going back to school I really want my face to feel fresh and spot free. So I've been using two spot creams for a while now, seeing which one is better for my skin and benefits me more, so after a couple of weeks me and my sister both decided on this product purely because it does our skin justice! Squeezing an almond size amount, rubbing and massaging it onto your face and then rising with water is the most easy and efficient way to do it and luckily that's all you really need to do, applying this product to your skin every morning and night will help bring your skin on heaps and bounds!

Can I say how silk smooth your face feels, the cream wash just glides across your face when applying, also it gives off the most refreshing smell which makes me want to use it more and more.

But the most important part is what it has done for my skin, now I'm not going to lie the first couple of times I used it nothing seemed to change, but then continuously using it my face started to become clearer and more spot free!

I highly recommend this too all teenagers and even adults who want to get rid off all those blemishes and imperfections!

JuJu Jellies - A blast from the past

JuJu jellies are a blast from the past as a lot of people these days are wearing these shoes as a fashion statement, so after seeing the mad rave about them I decided to go out and buy some a little while ago.

 

In my opinion I love them, I think there unique and a little bit quirky, wearing these with some frilled socks really make the shoes stand out. At first I was going to buy the silver glittery ones but I thought I would go for the original Black ones, which was a good choice as they go with more and it is easier to pair up with things.

People might think that you might get sweaty feet in them (disgusting I know) but I only wear mine with socks so I wouldn't know, but after doing some research I have found that a lot of people have said that there feet weren't sweaty at all due to the sandal style which lets your feet to breath.

Also which is great about these shoes is the heel, the heel is at a comfortable height which wont make your feet ache which is essential in shoes! There really easy to walk in too, so you don't need to worry if you'll be walking long distances.

What is your opinion on these shoes as I know people don't get them?

Liebster Award - Round 2

So too my astonishment I have been nominated once again for the Liebster Award thanks too: http://mystyleanthology.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/liebster-blog-award.html . Go check her out as she has some great blog posts that you should all go and read!

 
So if you don't already know what the Liebster Award is about or what you have to do, go to my other post to see the information, also where you can see me answering some questions that were given too me. click here
 
So shall we begin?
 
Questions:
 
1. When did you start blogging?
 
Well, to be honest I haven't been a blogger for a while, I started back in May this year but its only been recently where I've really been into it all.
 
2. What is your most exciting part of blogging?
 
The most exciting part for me about blogging is when someone says something positive about your blog, it makes me happy knowing that someone, even if its just a couple of people, are reading and liking my blog.

3. What are 3 of your favourite hobbies (beside blogging!)?

Well you probably won't know this but I'm a dancer, I do a little of contemporary and then street. My second hobby would be netball, I play Goal Attack for the school team and that's probably the one sport in school that I love playing. Then finally I would definitely have to say shopping, I don't think that any beauty and fashion bloggers don't like a little bit of shopping every now and then, right?!

4. What is your favourite season?

Ooh this is a hard one, its either between Summer or Winter, I love Winter because of the nights in by the fire and the fact that its near Christmas, but I think that I would have to say Summer just because everyone in Summer seems to be more chilled and relaxed, also the warm weather (that's if England has any!!)

5. Who is your idol?

I don't know if you mean celebrity or not so I'll just interpret it myself! I would have to say my sister, me and my sister I think have a great bond, she's 19, 20 soon and I'm 14, were not a similar age but we still get along so well, we tell each other everything and I love her to pieces!

6. What is the one thing you cannot live without?

This is an easy one, CHOCOLATE BISCUITS!! If you didn't know already, I have a crazy obsession with chocolate biscuits, (weird I know) all my friends and family make a joke about it but there just so delicious!

7. What is your top tip for new bloggers?

If you love blogging and all aspects off it then don't give up, sometimes you might think that nobody is reading or taking any interest in it but it all takes time.

8. What is your favourite TV show?

I can't just choose one so it would have to be 'Made In Chelsea', I love knowing the gossip and what's happening in peoples love life's, and then i looove 'Keeping up with the Kardashians,' they have to be my favourite celebrity family, all of them are just so funny and great to watch, both shows get me hooked!

9. What is your favourite song?

Well as my friend Chloe ( candlesandcurls) said in her blog post, my favourite song is young and beautiful by Lana Del Rey, its just so powerful and heart warming to listen too! I listened to it that much that I even got her liking it too! As you can tell its a very attaching song!

10. What is your favourite blog post you have written?

Uhm I would have to say my first ever post 'Foundation Face', it was the first time I had written a proper post and I was so pleased with myself!

11. What is the best piece of advice you have been given?

Well a couple of days ago I wrote on twitter that I didn't feel like anyone was reading my blog, and I don't know his full name but http://www.stylishengland.blogspot.co.uk/ gave me a link to a blog which was telling me about dealing with success and failure, and this post truly changed my mood! There were some really good advice given and really helped me! Go check out her page here!

As I have already written a Liebster Award post before, I thought that I wont nominated again as a lot of people have already been nominated! So thanks again for nominating me, it was lovely too find out again!

Lady Danger

So recently I purchased an absolute stunner lipstick from the MAC collection, after wanting a bright, vibrant red for a while now I finally went out and bought one. Many swatches layer I settled for Lady Danger stay matte lipstick. The colour can be seen quite intimidating as can be the case with most reds but this colour can really enhance and vamp up a dull, lifeless outfit. 

Lady Danger - $15

 

It's a colour which is a tomato red/orange which is different from the standard red and I have to say the pigmentation is outstanding, this is probably one of the only lipsticks that can literally last hours. Just dabbing the lip colour on your lips can add a stain that will hold through eating and drinking, which is pretty hard to find in any other lipstick.

This is probably my favourite lipstick at the moment as it fits in with the autumn/winter season. I'm really looking forward to getting to wear the lip out a bit more as it can bring so much to an outfit.

 

Anyone else tried out any red lipsticks that are worth trying out? Let me know what you all think!

Also could you all follow me on:  bloglovin' - Madhatterswardrobe

Then finally can you follow me on my actual blog, would mean such a lot!

OOTD - Kylie Jenner and Miley Cyrus inspired.

For starters I'd like to say a massive thank you to everyone on twitter who got me to 200 followers, I cant thank you all enough!! 

I  haven't done a fashion post in a while, so today I thought Id give one ago! So this outfit that I'm wearing today is such a casual outfit but looks fab, I got the inspiration from Kylie Jenner and Miley Cyrus, as I've seen snaps of them wearing this trend a lot.

Kylie Jenner & Miley Cyrus

 

 

 

The top I'm wearing is a crop top from Topshop, I got this a while back so i don't think they have it in stores anymore but I'm sure you could find a top like this anywhere! It's in a dark green colour which makes it easy to fit with anything! The top also looks great with a midi skirt, skater skirt or some disco pants.

I paired the top with some black, high waisted jeggings, also from Topshop! Now oh my goodness these are the most comfiest bottoms I own, there slim fitting but definitely don't make uncomfortable or annoying to wear. The reason why I chose these is because there just plain black, so it made things easier to pair a jumper that will match.

Now the most easiest way to spice up an outfit is too add a jumper around your waist, seeing Kylie wear it made me think if I had any appropriate jumpers that I could do it with, and yes I found one, this outfit will look great in the autumn / winter time!

Then I'm finally just wearing my high top navy blue converse that I totally forgot I had and re discovered a couple of days ago!

Hope you enjoyed this post, and thanks for reading!

3. And with those 11 questions you tag 11 people to answer them:)

got it?ok, let's go!

Liebster questions:

1. Who is your fashion or beauty inspiration?

I'd say that Alexa Chung really inspires me as she is one of my role models in the fashion industry. Her fashion sense really appeals too me and I take good interest in her.

2. What is your current favourite fashion or makeup trend?

 Well I love rolling up my jeans or leggings and wearing some trainers (my favourite are my Nike air force or Addidas gazelles) I think it gives it quite a casual look.

3. If you had to choose, what is your favourite makeup brand (drugstore or high-end)?

My favourite makeup brand has to be MAC, its just really good quality and even though it can be quite expensive, it is definitely worth it!

4. If you could have 3 beauty products for the rest of your life, what would they be?

A must have for me would have to foundation, purely because it covers up all your blemishes and makes you look a lot more presentable, then mascara because my eyelashes are very small and a little bit of mascara really opens my eyes up. Then finally it would have to be some kind of lip product, you've got to make sure your lips are in good condition and are moisturised especially during the Autumn/Winter time.

5. What made you start blogging?

Well I am a huge fan of my sisters blog, I loved reading hers and watching her put it all together and because I thought it looked amazing I just thought why not, there's nothing really I could loose from it.

6. What's your favourite thing about blogging?

My favourite part is getting to talk to other bloggers who have the same interest in me, its great to know that there are so many people my age that have the enthusiasm for fashion and beauty like me!

7. On average how long does it take you to get ready?

Uhm probably about 1 and a half hours, that's washing my hair, applying my make-up, styling my hair and having to choose an outfit.

8. Where is your favourite place to shop for make-up (in-store or online)?

My all time favourite place to shop for make-up is Selfridges, there's just so much selection you can choose from and you will always find something you love. But I also love my local Superdrug or boots which also have a good selection of drugstore products.

9. Where is your favourite place to shop for clothes (in-store or online)?

I'm obsessed with Topshop of course, who isn't? And I also think that American Apparel really suits my dress sense, but for me some of the clothing items are a little pricey for what I can afford but its always nice to spend a little money every now and then.

10. What beauty products do you splurge on?

I have a little obsession with lipsticks, don't think I can go a day without putting some colour on my lips, so yes I would have to admit I do splurge on lipsticks quite a lot.

I heart summer tag.

Its getting towards the end of summer here in England so I thought that I just had enough time to squeeze this post in. I really wanted to do the I heart summer tag because summer is my favourite season and as its ending I kind of wanted to evaluate over the summer which I have loved! Hope you enjoy!

1. What's your favourite summer nail polish?

Well I do love a nice pink but I also love a minty green, its a hard one but I think that even putting colours together makes it look really summery and unique!

2. What's your favourite lip colour?

For me I always love a bright pink (been loving chatterbox by MAC) but I recently discovered that subtle oranges also look really summery and cute.

3. What's your favourite summer accessory?

Its got to be a pair of shades, there's nothing worse than having the sun in your eyes!

4. What's your favourite body spray or perfume?

I looooove the Hollister sprays in summer as they are a really fruity, sweet smell but I do also love 'Love Struck' by Vera Wang.

5. What's your favourite thing about summer?

Obviously for me its not going to school and doing lots of work but I also love just chilling and not having to worry about school work. Its been great just waking up when I feel like it and relaxing.

6. What's your favourite summer trends?

My favourite summer trend this summer for the day time has to be a pair of high waisted denim shorts with a cute top, its really casual and looks so cute! Then for a night time outfit I'd have to say a light skater dress with a pair of wedges, looks great!

7. What's your favourite summer snack?

Well this snack I love all year round is Ice-Cream, I am a crazy Ice-Cream lover!! So yes my favourite summer snack, its just so delicious!

8. What's your favourite summer drink?

I'm obsessed with the vanilla cooler from costa, its just so refreshing and delicious!

9. What's your favourite summer song?

Even though I'm not a 'directioner' I love their new song 'Best song ever,' its so uplifting and really gets me in a happy mood.

10. What is your favourite 'I heart summer tag'?

As being a follower of hers on twitter I loved Kayleigh Johnson post on it...

favourite nail products...

Before I start I would just like to say a big thank you to everyone on twitter, at the beginning of this week I had 26 followers and then to my astonishment I now have 100+, its absolutely crazy to think I have gained that much in such little time, so if your reading this and you don't follow my twitter, why not follow me now?... www.twitter.com/hatterswardrobe
done? great! :)

Alright so as I am in my summer holidays here in England so I get to experiment with nail varnish's and different nail products which is great as in school time my school don't let us wear nail varnish, which is rather ridiculous but there's nothing I can do about it hai.

So for starters I've picked 3 nail paints which I looooove and think they are really cute and really make your nails stand out. So the first nail varnish is 304 mint green by Barry M. This nail varnish is great for any occasion, it doesn't take that long to dry and is super easy to apply. It takes a couple of coats to make it a solid mint green colour, but believe me the colour is worth waiting for. Also the price is great at only £2.99 its totally affordable for teenagers and students.  The only bad thing that I could say about this is sometimes it chips quite easily so you might have to be a little careful when you have applied it onto your nails.

The website portrays the nail varnish as more of a turquoise colour when it actually isn't, so be careful when buying nail varnishes on the Internet that you haven't see in person.
http://www.barrym.com/products/nails/paint/all-nail-paints.html

My next favourite nail varnish is the Disco Mix by Models Own, this nail varnish definitely gives of the 'wow' factor. The models own nail varnishes I think are hard wearing and long lasting and this one definitely is. The only downside to this nail varnish is it can be a right pain to get off, you definitely have to have the patience to get this nail varnish off. Being priced at £5, I think that this is quite a reasonable price for what it offers.

http://www.modelsownit.com/products/nails/disco-mix-nail-polish.html

Then my last nail polish is June by Chanel, now as being in a family of mostly all girls we share our nail polishes together, so after my sisters boyfriend bought her this nail polish as a gift I have been able to use it too. Now this nail varnish is such a cute colour, its a more of a peachy orange and looks great on my nails. To be honest with you it does take a couple of coats to get the complete colour and sometimes you do have to be patience and wait but once the solid colour is there it is rather divine. Being priced at £18, it is rather expensive but if you want to splurge out and get a really nice nail varnish every now and then I would recommend having a look at the CHANEL range!

http://www.selfridges.com/en/Beauty/Brand-rooms/Brands/CHANEL/Makeup/Nails/LE-VERNIS-Nail-Colour_437-73004626-LEVERNIS/?brandname=CHANEL&lhnDeptId=19353

Now there's two products for your nails which I think help me out a lot, firstly is the Nail Envy by O.P.I, this has really helped my nails to grow and to be really healthy. This costs £18.65 and that is quite expensive for a nail strengthener but the product does last a long time.

 

http://www.boots.com/en/O-P-I-Original-Nail-Envy_12618/

Then finally, what is the best way to remove all the nail polish efficiently and without all the mess from cotton wool well the BOURJOIS PARIS magic nail polish remover has been my life saver. If at a weekend I applied nail varnish and totally forgot about on the Monday all you have to do is stick your finger and in seconds it is off. All you need to do is dip each finger into the sponge, twist and remove without the need for cotton wool. On the front of the package it says 1 second, now I'm not going to lie it doesn't take 1 second it does take a couple of seconds more, but it still is extremely quick.

Which nail polish do you prefer out of the three? And what is your favourite nail polish?
So I do hope you all enjoyed this post, thanks!

July favourites

Wow, its crazy to think that another month has gone by, but if you didn't notice last month I didn't do a monthly favourites, that's purely because I didn't try anything new or find anything exciting to blog about. But this month I have some great products and fashion items that I am sure you will love.

so for starters I'm going to talk to you about this bag, now I got this as a birthday present a while ago now but this month I have used it a lot! The ClaireaBella bag is so cute and trendy, adding a personal touch to make it such a sweet bag. On my bag I added my name 'Ella Chloe' and then the girl on the front is meant to look like me, one bag with curly hair and the other with straight! It's a really sturdy bag which can hold a lot of things. 

 

Re-discovering these in the bottom of my draws, I've fell greatly in love. These American flag shorts were worn by me many times during the hot weather we had in England. They are a great length that doesn't show too much and were a total bargain from Primark! Wearing these shorts with a plain tee and some statement jewellery looks the perfect outfit. 

 

Being a fan of the Hollister sprays, this month a spray had to be featured! As England had some glorious weather, it was the perfect time to wear a scent which was fruity and summery. My Hollister spray is the light pink Crescent Bay, now in my opinion this is my favourite out of them all as it gives off such a divine sweet smell. Why not check out the other colours and scents and being priced at £12 there must be a smell for you. 

A make-up product which I have loved this month is the Maybelline New York 'The Eraser.' Again the weather has been super hot so I didn't want to wear a foundation which would be too heavy for my skin, so this foundation was just what I needed. It has a weightless feel and with SPF 18, it was giving me a little bit of sun block too. But I don't just use this as a foundation, as it is really light I also add it over the top as a concealer hiding blemishes and redness. It is super easy to apply as the sponge on the top makes it glide across your skin, after the product has been used up I am definitely going to be re purchasing it again. 

Another make-up favourite is the MAC Dollymix Blush, this blusher has been on my checks everyday for the last month, adding a pop of colour to my cheeks it really fitted in with the hot weather! It's really easy to match up with other make-up as adding a pink lip stain made it look great!

 

 A skin care product which I have loved this month is the Body Butter DUO, it is split into two half's, a butter for normal skin and then the other section for dry skin. I use this every night, and it makes my skin feel so smooth and healthy. Also the smell is heavenly and lasts a long time.
 

 

 

Now finally this last favourite has nothing to do with either make-up, fashion or skin care, uhm well to be honest it's a strange favourite but I had to be put on here! This favourite is a free app that you can download on smart phones and tablets, it's called Minion Rush and it's a game where you have to dodge obstacles, collect bananas and defeat villains, very similar to 'temple run' its so addictive and I'm always trying to beat my high score on it! 

 

So thanks again for checking out my blog, and hope you enjoyed it. Also go check out my twitter:

3 Favourite summer lipsticks.

Now at first I've got to make an apology I haven't been blogging for a while now and I am sorry for the inconvenience that I might have caused. My laptop totally crashed and hasn't been working now for a while, luckily I have the best sister ever and she is letting me use her laptop for time being.

 

Ok so at the moment I have just had an obsession with lipsticks, browsing through the make-up stands in Selfridges and going down to my local drugstore to see what catches my eye. Now the ones that struck out for me as part of a summer look where these three lipsticks.

 

The first one is a Ted Baker one, now this lipstick was part of a set for Christmas so you couldn't purchase this lipstick on its own, but the set is great so you maybe, if its still on sale, check it out. Now the lipstick is more of a coral colour but its great, it stays on the lips for a long period off time and really brings together a look.  

 

My next favourite summer lipstick is 'chatterbox' by MAC, this lipstick I recently purchased and its probably my favourite lipstick off all time. I was instantly drawn to it by its a colourful but not to in your face. It stays on for a long time too, you cant miss out!

 

Then finally another MAC product is the lipstick in the 'Nicki Minaj' range 'viva glam.' It is bright and bold which really stands out on a summers day. This lipstick would be perfect as its colourful and definitely would make your outfit stand out.

 

You've got to make your lips stand out, you cant ignore that your lips have got to have a little pop of colour.

My first's

Hello everyone, so this blog post is kind of a bit random but after watching Zoella and Sprinkleofglitrter do a My first video I really wanted to do one myself.

Also as I am still rather young, some of the things I yet have to experience but I still thought it would be really fun to do, so lets begin...

 

My first...

 

word

Uhm well after asking my mum about this one, its the boring, usual, 'dada.' I don't know why that is but it just happened, but for some reason I wanted to say 'dada.'

 

teddy 

My first teddy was a Winnie the pooh one, it was called 'my first' which fits in with this blog post perfectly! I got given this by my auntie and uncle, sadly I don't have the teddy anymore as when I was younger things didn't last long around me as I usually would either break it or loose it.

 

friend

Well when I was younger I used to play out with all the kids down my street, but there was one girl that always wanted to play out with me but I really didn't like her so I can't really call her my first 'friend' so I would say my first proper friend were the people I am really close with now, Saffron and Monique! I met them in nursery and from then on I'm still best friends with them now, nearly 11 years later!

 

crush

So my first proper crush was in primary school and I don't speak to him now as he lives in Australia, but his name was Sam and he was the one that everyone fancied and I was one of them! Now to think I was only about 5 or 6 years of age, but I had a mad crush on him.

 

celebrity crush

My first celebrity crush was Johnny Depp, after watching him in the Pirates of the Caribbean I fell in love with him! Its kind of weird that I fell in love with a 40 year old man but I did, haha! But I still now love him think he is absolutely amazing actor.

 

boyfriend

I had a lot of flings whilst going through primary school that probably lasted for a couple of days but my proper first boyfriend was in year 5. To think it was only a primary school relationship is lasted quite long, looking back at it now its rather funny. I'm not going to mention his name as I'm still really good friends with him now!

 

job

Well as I am still only a young teenager, I cant get a job but I do a little bit of babysitting now and then but I cannot really count that as a proper job.

 

gig/concert

My first concert was something like  'channel 4 smash hits party' I can't remember the name exactly. The reason why I went to it was because my Uncle worked in London for Channel 4 and he was very generous to get us tickets, it had people like Busted playing, so yes it was a very long time ago.

 

car

Well again I'm too young to drive, so I cant answer this one at all.

 

blog post

It wasn't that long ago as I have only really just started my blog up but I made an introduction post which was only short and then my first proper post was a review on the MAC face and body foundation.

 

So there we have my first's, if anyone else does a My first's post blog leave a comment and I will go and check it!
