Celebrity Style - Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

What is not to love about Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's off duty style? She puts together the simplest, most wearable outfits that would go unnoticed on any other human being. Some people could see her style to be a bit boring and average but less is more in my opinion, and even in a baggy t-shirt, cropped jeans and ankle boots she looks chic and elegant. And to be honest I think her casual style is by far better than what she wears on red carpets, but I'll let her off because I want her whole wardrobe!

What do you think of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's style?

BareMinerals Skincare Haul

Recently I had been doubting my Liz Earle moisturiser, I'm not even sure why I just felt like it was quite heavy and was clogging my (already clogged) pores. So I started researching different moisturisers for combination skin and decided that I wanted to give bareMinerals skincare a go (especially because I LOVE their make-up). I was looking on eBay to see if I could spend less considering I wasn't 100% sure it would work for me. The main products I was looking for was the combination moisturiser and blemish remedy. Just as I was about to commit to purchasing some items my Mum came home with the most glorious news... My Auntie's salon were holding an open day for charity with deals on their bareMinerals skincare.

So I went yesterday and came home with plenty of bareMinerals products. Amazing. In all the following products the active ingredient is their ActiveSoil Complex which has skin renewing benefits and will help reduce visibility of pores, increase luminosity and help skin feel softer and smoother. (They are also formulated without parabens, synthetic fragrances and artificial oils.)



Purifying Facial Cleanser

Says it will remove all make-up (including eye make-up), gets rid of impurities and balances the skin so it is softer and smoother.

Price: £15.00
Purely Nourishing Moisturiser - Combination Skin

It's a light weight moisturiser which will help with elasticity, radiance, skin texture and will improve firmness.

Price: £27.00
Pure Transformation Night Treatment

Dramatically reduces the appearance of pores, improves luminosity and increases cell turnover giving results of radiant, even skin tone and improved texture and more.

£45.00

(I'm so excited to try this)

Blemish Remedy

Conceals and prevents breakouts, minimises pores, helps with redness and blurs imperfections.

£15.00





 I was lucky and bought all these products for a sum of £60.00, it was 3 for 2 and I wasn't even going to buy the Blemish Remedy but my Auntie recommended it and threw it in for free. (Massive thanks to my Auntie, I am so grateful.)

As the open day was for charity they were offering treatments for donations for McMillan so I also got an express manicure with Essie nail polish. I got the colour 'Infatuation' which is a red pink and it's the perfect summery shade to brighten up the gloomy days of a British summer. I am in love with it and thinking about buying it.

In a months time I will write a review on the bareMinerals skin regime and the results (hopefully, fingers crossed x)

I got the prices from the bareMinerals website, you can also buy bareMinerals from Boots, Debenhams, John Lewis, QVC and more...
