Current Beauty & Skin Care Favourites

Hi lovelies,

Can you believe it's almost Christmas? It's nearly a year since I started my blog! While I'm not a regular poster, I've received so much of support from my followers and fellow bloggers for which I'm eternally grateful. I'm currently on a vacation in Sri Lanka and loving every single moment of it so you'll be seeing plenty of my travel photos on here as well as my Instagram.

In the meantime, I thought I'll share with you my absolute favourite beauty and skincare products that I use almost everyday; these are things that I can't live without and that I've been carrying everywhere with me while I'm travelling.



Firstly, I adore this make up case from Ted Baker! It's large enough to fit everything you could possibly need but small enough for me to carry it in my everyday bag. The Chanel blush is a subtle pink that adds a nice glow as it has a light shimmer to it. The Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer is a must have for anyone with dark circles under their eyes. I've been using this concealer for about two years now and swear by it! It's very light-weight but covers dark circles and blemishes extremely well to give a flawless complexion. It's smooth but stays on all day, I only apply it once in the morning but it lasts until I remove it at night. 

Ah Benefit, what can I say? It's my favourite cosmetics and skin care brand. The Pore-fessional is a primer that minimizes pores and makes your foundation goes on smoothly for that flawless look. It covers any blemishes and is especially perfect for people who use a matte based foundation like myself as it makes it so much easier to blend in. The Stila liquid lipsticks last for hours without needing any touch-ups and it's ideal when I'm on the go. Another benefit is that it doesn't smudge even when you eat something! The Too Faced eyeshadow and blush palette is from their Le Grand Chateau gift set, which is sadly now sold out at Mecca in Australia. You can still purchase it from their website. The gift set comes with three different palettes and a mascara which are so easy to carry. 



My absolute favourite skin care products are the Benefit Triple Performing Facial Emulsion and the Benefit Foamingly Clean. Both are super sensitive and does an amazing job at taking care of my skin. Unlike various other moisturisers that are oily, this one feels smooth and refreshing. The cleanser is great at removing any make up residue and doesn't dry out the skin even in Winter. 

Well that's it ladies, those are my favourite beauty and skin care products! Please do let me know what your thoughts are if you have these or if you try them. 

Lots of love,
Nethmi

WHITE-HOT

Hi darlings,

It's almost Summer time! Which means that I'll be wearing plenty of White, Blue and Pink in the coming weeks. I love my neutrals in A/W, but as soon as sunny days come around, I opt for the brighter colours. My favourite accessory colours during S/S tend to be Tan and Rose Gold, so you'll be seeing more of that on the blog as well.

I always mix in White for a more fresh and upbeat look. It's one of those colours that always looks elegant. I've got a little obsession with wide leg pants so here I've paired these formal pants with a simple top for a daytime look. The wooden block heels are super comfy to wear all day and also adds to the daytime glam. Let me know what you think of this look and what you think of the tan details!

Love always,
Neth

MINIMAL

Hi lovelies!

Hope you're all having a fantastic week! I know it's been a while since I posted new content, but bear with me for the next 2 weeks or so, once I'm done with Uni exams, I'll definitely be back to regular blogging. Sharing my style with you and giving you ideas or doing product reviews is my favourite thing to do, but it's also not something that I want to do half-heartedly. Before being a fashion blogger, I'm a full-time student, have a job and do lots of volunteer work so all those things tend to get in the way sometimes.

Presenting my absolute favourite item in the wardrobe right now - The Kookai Mara Jumpsuit. This was love at first sight, I went in to have a quick browse at the boutique and could not leave without taking this with me! I love the body hugging structure, the wide leg pants and the frilled top! It's no secret that I'm short so the length and the wide leg pants make me look so much taller than I really am! The reason why I've called this Minimal is because it's a very simple look with little to no accessories. The Embellished Clutch and Earrings are enough to add sparkle but also makes sure that the attention remains on the Jumpsuit.

Hope you like this look as much as I do! Please let me know what you think.

Have a lovely day!

Audrey Hepburn

Happy Monday my lovelies!

So today I have decided to start a new little segment on my blog, just to keep things interesting! I'll be doing style files of my favourite celebrities and fashionistas. I'll be picking the key pieces from their wardrobes and let you know where to find similar items, often at a much lower price and at times with my own take on them! So watch this space for the likes of Miranda Kerr, Blake Lively, Shay Mitchell and Taylor Swift. I've added a 'Style File' tab to the menu so you can easily navigate your way over here.

Here are some of the most note worthy items from the flawless Miss Audrey Hepburn - cigarette/cropped pants, striped-tees, ballet flats, midi skirts, cat-eyed/oversized sunglasses and the ever famous little black dress.

Let me know what you think and who's wardrobe you'd like to see.

Love always,
Neth

I have been after the perfect cape blazer for quite some time now, and this little gem from Forever New is exactly what I was looking for!

CHECK IN

Hello hello!

Happy August! Can you believe how fast this year is going? My birthday is next week and I feel like it was only about 3 months ago that I celebrated my last birthday! That being said, I am very excited to be turning 21. 

All that talk aside, here is a more casual look I threw together. The dress that I'm wearing in this post is meant to be worn as a coat, but the material is so thin and it's long on me so I decided to wear it differently than it's intended purpose - Let me know what you think, is it better as a coat or as a dress? 

Hope you like this look! 

Love always,
Neth

Winter days

Hi darlings,

I hope that the cooler months are treating you well! I have been unbelievably lazy this Winter and the 5am starts to Uni next week should be interesting.

I bought these gorgeous boots from Wittner back in May and I thought that it's definitely about time that I made a post on them. They're a really great investment because not only are they comfortable with a versatile heel for everyday wear, but because they can be worn over the knee or folded down to wear at whatever length you want.

Hope you enjoy this look!

Love always,
Neth

GREY

Hi everyone,

It's only in Winter that I really opt for more neutral tones, come Spring and I'll be back to wearing my favourite bright colours. I hope you like this Grey on Grey look, I'm so in love with these beautiful pants from Forever New.

Love,
Neth
