What I wore to my graduation

If you don't follow me on social media then you probably won't know that this time last week I was graduating from the University of Lincoln. I won't delve too much into the day itself but it truly was a special and proud day. The ceremony itself was held in Lincoln's cathedral and castle which created a magical setting.

The university's colours are blue and yellow so I instantly knew I wanted to wear a blue dress. Chi Chi very kindly sent me their Jenny dress* which is absolutely beautiful. It's such a princess dress and extremely well made. It has a low back but luckily comes complete with a padded bust meaning that there's no need to wear a bra. As someone with DD boobs I can vouch for the padding and say it worked very well - I was even complimented on how "great" my boobs looked on the day. Ahh, boys. 

I bought my shoes from the New Look sale and although they weren't the most comfortable, they were very easy to walk in. If you've ever been to Lincoln then you'll realise how important a good pair of shoes is - there streets are cobbled! I wore a simple necklace from Primark and my fake tan is by Nottingham's Saks salon and Xen-Tan (which I've reviewed before). The nail polish on my toes is KIKO's Poker Nail Lacquer in 05* and on my fingernails is Models Own's Coconut Cream*. 

What did you wear to your graduation?

Outfit of the day and a blogging break

Recently my blogging schedule has gone out of the window and I've decided to take a bit of a blogging break. This could be for a couple of days, a couple of weeks or even a few months. I won't go into too much detail but I think I need a bit of me-time, and a step away from social media. It won't be forever, I absolutely adore blogging and the escape it provides me. But I need to put myself first sometimes.

In case you didn't know, I've been working for The Nottingham Post for the past four weeks and because of this, I've featured in their newspaper and on their website a couple of times. If you're interested, you can view my features here and here. I quite like the outfit that I put together for their "fashion blogger" segment so decided to showcase it on my blog.

I do apologise about the photo. It's no secret that I'm useless when it comes to taking outfit photos. But the sun was shining so I definitely made the most. I've recently been adoring midi skirts as I find them flattering and classy. I'd be eyeing up this one from Matalan for ages so when I saw it in the sale, I knew I had to snap it up. I also love the fact that it's pink too.

Top: Matalan

Skirt: Matalan

Necklace: New Look

Shoes: Primark

WISHLIST | Primark

The other day, I accidently found myself in Primark and whilst there, I considered walking down to Natwest and asking for a loan. Their new collection is instore and it's well and truly stunning: I pretty much wanted everything. So I decided to showcase a few of my favourites items to you guys in this impromptu post (it isn't even on my blogging schedule, that's how last minute it is). I will definitely be investing in - almost - everything above, mainly for my holidays. Everything is just so darn adorable.

What's your favourite item?

WIWT | New Years Eve

Blouse: Primark

Necklace: Primark

Disco Pants: eBay

Heels: Steve Madden

Two WIWT's in two days?! Oh you lucky sods. I didn't want to write the usual "Happy New Year" blog post because quite frankly, I'm fed up of seeing them. My BlogLovin' feed was covered in them when I woke up this morning. I did, however, want to show you what I wore last night. Some of you may have already seen it on Instagram but nonetheless, here it is again. In a last minute "I have nothing to wear" panic, I hit town yesterday looking for a new dress. When I realised that the dresses were awful, I decided I'd wear my Disco Pants with this beautiful blouse from Primark. The colours are stunning, the fit is flattering and the price (£12) was even better - I'm addicted. I hope you all had a wonderful New Years Eve and I wish you all the best in 2014. Bamboozle Beauty is going to be four years old in just a few days - absolute madness! Thank you for making 2013 special.

What did you wear on New Years Eve?

WIWT | The day after Boxing Day

Top: New Look (Christmas present from my mum)

Skirt: Internacionale

Blazer: Primark (very old)

Scarf: Christmas present from my sister

Lens mug: Christmas present from my dad and stepmum

Leggings: F&F at Tesco

When it comes to taking outfit posts, we all know that I'm an absolute mess. In all honesty, I have no idea what I'm doing and I shy away from the camera. Regardless of this, the day after Boxing Day, I went to Meadowhall with my dad and stepmum which was absolutely hectic! I loved my "day after Boxing Day" outfit so much that I thought; "to hell with it!" and here you have a very badly photographed WIWT. As soon as I opened this top from my mum, I knew I was going to get so much wear out of it. Not only are the colour and fit beautiful, but I'm a huge owl fan too. The scarf from my sister is definitely "me" and since opening it, I haven't taken it off - no literally, I was wearing it on Christmas Day in my pyjamas. As for the lens mug... HOW AMAZING IS IT?! It was also filled with sachets of hot chocolate. I adore it so much. But anyway, now I have my new camera, I promise I will try and get better at these things now. I am attending an SLR course in March so hopefully I'll be able to say, "forget the landscapes, teach me how to take OOTD posts." Then again, maybe not...

What did you wear around Christmas time?

WISHLIST | Winter Boots

Equestrian Clearance Ariat Salen Country Boots - £120.99
New Look Black Stirrup Block Heel Chelsea Boots - £27.99
Topshop MADHATTER Metal Trim Boots - £40.00
New Look Burgundy High Leg Block Heel Boots - £34.99

Primark Studded Biker Boot - £20.00
Equestrian Clearance K*ty Phoebe Leather Jodhpur Boots - £19.99

As much as I hate the cold, I sure do love winter fashion. Cosy coats, beautiful boots and snug scarves certainly do it for me. I absolutely adore layering up and feeling comfortable and safe. Recently, I bought a pair of boots from Primark for just £10. They're brown and lovely and they've made me want even more. So above, I've compiled a "winter boots wishlist" much to the dismay of my bank balance. I've never owned a pair of high leg boots before (that I'm aware of) but since spotting the ones above from New Look and Equestrian Clearance, I'm really lusting after some. The heeled boots from New Look are must-haves for me - after all, I'm a student who goes out quite a lot and on the dreaded walk to the nightclub and home, I don't want my feet getting cold. I certainly will be investing in another pair of boots and I've already been sending images of ones I'd like for Christmas to my mother.

What boots are you currently lusting after?

WIWT | They say we're too young for love but I'm catching feelings

Shirt: Primark

Shorts: Matalan

Necklace: Primark

Green nails: L'Oreal Go Neon Pop in Wasabi Hint*

Gold nails: Models Own Hed Kandi in Bora Bora*

Another outfit of the day? Oh you poor souls. The reason for this one is because of the necklace. I love statement necklaces under collars and have done for a while. But you know, I've been waiting for payday to show its little face before I could "invest" in one. The one I'm wearing above is from Primark and it cost me the grand total of £1 - not much of an investment there. It was in the sale (there's nothing quite like a Primark sale, is there?!) and it was reduced from a mear £3. I highly recommend checking out the bargainous store as they have a lot of cute statement necklaces in there at the moment. This one, I believe, adds an "edge" to the dainty blouse and the neon really "pops" and catches your eyes. The shorts are from the back of my wardrobe and I haven't wore them in yonks. I bought them from Matalan a good two years ago and I absolutely love them paired with this blouse (the blouse the Spice Girls have touched I must add). As for my nails, aren't they pretty?! This is my favourite nail combination at the moment - beautiful.

Do you love statement necklaces? What's your favourite nail combination?

WIWT | Cool breeze kissing the sea

Sunglasses: Boots

Blouse: Oasis*

Shorts: Primark

Bracelets: Primark & a gift from my mum

Props to you if you know the song from the title of this post - it's a '99 classic, I'll tell ya! Ahh, outfit of the day posts. They're always something that I shy away from but with the sun out in full force today, the lighting in my apartment was too good for me to miss the opportunity. I also wanted to show you these shorts. I bought them two summers ago so I doubt you'll be able to get your mitts on them now unfortunately but I can't stop wearing them at the minute. They cost me a measly £3 which is something you definitely can't complain about - it's no wonder Primark is my favourite store, is it? They're a little bit big and I am insecure about my flabby legs but you know what, it's summer, it's boiling and I'd be stupid to cover up any more. You might recognise this top from a post I did a few weeks ago and although at first I wasn't sure about the high/low hem, I'm now a big fan. It covers everything I want it to at the back and floats around all prettily in the sun. So yes, there you have it. An outfit of the day post. I apologise for the dodgy posing, the awkward mess in my room and my "definitely-needs-redoing" ombre.

What's your current summer wardrobe staple? Would you like to see more outfit posts from me? I promise I'll get better!

REVIEW: Dove Original Compressed Deodorant & OOTD

Woooah, how hot has it been this weekend?! And how hot is going to be today for that matter?! One product that is a must-have in this weather is without a doubt deodorant. We all sweat - there's no getting past it unless you have super glands or something - and when the weather is hotter, we sweat more so having a good deodorant is essential to ensure that it's our perfume others can smell. My favourite deodorant brand has always been Dove. My love affair with their deodorants began when I first used their Hair Minimizing deodorant as it didn't leave white marks, it left my underarms very soft, it smelt beautiful and best of all, it kept odours at bay and did its job perfectly.

When brands first starting advertising their compressed deodorants I definitely didn't buy into it. I didn't believe it was true and I didn't understand how they did it (and why they hadn't been doing it for years). So when I was offered the chance to try out Dove's Original Compressed Deodorant,* I jumped at the chance. I wanted to put all of my fears at bay and see if these little compacts lasted as long as the bigger sizes. Dove claim that their Compressed range lasts just as long as previous 150ml Dove deodorants which is perfect if you travel a lot or don't have a lot of space in your beauty cabinets.

First thing's first - the deodorant itself. I've tried many different variations of Dove but this is the first time I've used their Original deodorant and I'm obsessed. It smells very fresh and clean and it does a great job at being an antiperspirant. Dove also claim that these deodorants include the Dove ¼ moisturising cream which gives you beautifully soft underarms and I can't disagree with this claim. Although I doubt I'll switch from the Original formula - purely because of its smell - Dove's Compressed range is also available in many different variants including Invisible Dry 48hr, Go Fresh Cucumber and Green Tea, Go Fresh Pomegranate and Lemon Verbena, Beauty Finish 48hr and Pure 48hr so you're bound to find a fragrance for you.

Secondly, the big question - do these mini cans last as long as the bigger cans? I can't vouch for it as of yet as I'm still using mine up. I've had mine for three weeks now and I've used it every day - and sometimes more - since. I'm not sure how long a deodorant normally lasts me but I'd say around a month so it's going strong so far and I definitely now believe the Compressed claim. The new packaging is much friendlier to the environment and it reduces the carbon footprint by 25% which is always good news. But for us - the consumer - these smaller bottles are great for throwing into your handbag for touch ups throughout the day. Mine even stays in my make up bag now which is wonderful. It's also nice knowing that when you go on holiday, you don't have to take one of those tiny travel sized deodorants that end up lasting you a couple of days.

And finally, Dove's PR being the wonderful PR that it is showed us bloggers that good things really do come in tiny packages. As you can tell from the picture, I received two deodorants - one with the Original deodorant inside and the other with a beautiful blouse from Oasis. Not only does the blouse show how much you can fit inside a tiny 75ml can if you compress it enough but it's also beautiful and I love wearing it in the summer weather showing off my new soft underarms. Definitely a big thumbs up from me. From now on, I'll be buying the Compressed deodorants because I know they work, they're good for the environment and best of all, they're good for my handbag and travel.

Dove Compressed Deodorants retail for £2.89, as do the original 150ml bottles. You can view the entire range of Dove deodorants here. Have you tried any compressed deodorants before?

HAUL: Westfield Derby

L-R: Maxi Skirt - Primark £10, Pinafore Dress - Quiz £12.99, Aztec Dress - Primark £5, Bird Print Dress - H&M £10, Pink Peplum Top - Dorothy Perkins £8.50 (with student discount), Black vest top - Topshop £9 (with student discount), Black T-Shirt - Primark £5, Shoes - Quiz £9.99

On Wednesday, me and my mother took a little trip to the Westfield Derby shopping centre for a bit of retail therapy. I was very kindly gifted a gift card to spend there as a little thank you from them for this post. We had a really lovely day and I managed to get quite a few things. For me, I'm a beauty addict and whenever I go out to buy clothes, I always end up coming back with beauty products. So this time, I decided to go into Boots last after I'd bought a lot of clothes as they're what I needed the most.

First of all we went to Nando's as by the time we got there, it was midday and we were both extremely hungry. It was my mum's first time in the restaurant and luckily for me, she enjoyed it. After that, we walked around the centre and ended up finding items in Dorothy Perkins, Quiz, H&M and Topshop. Originally, I had planned on spending the majority of my money in New Look as it's my favourite store but on that day, I just didn't have any luck. I paid for the Nando's on my gift card and my mum gave me the money for it back so I could also have a cheeky trip in Primark (which isn't in the centre) - how clever of us! We also ventured into Debenhams so I could have a sniff of the Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche Skinscent. Big mistake. It's beautiful and now, I need it but it's pretty pricey - boohoo.

Of course, I took a trip into Boots after I'd spent the majority of the money on clothing. Seeing as it's 3 for 2 on skin care products, I decided to repurchase the Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix pads and the La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo as they're two of my favourite skin care items at the moment. I then decided to get the Garnier 5 second Perfect Blur as I'm in need of a new primer and this one promises miracles, so why not? I was also in need of new eyeliners and my favourite Collection 2000 Extreme 24 Hr Felt Tip Liner Pens were on offer for 2 for £5 so I decided to get two as I run out of them quite quickly. I then saw the Trevor Sorbie Brilliant Brunette Hair Mask in the clearance section for £2 so I picked one of those up.

I apologise that the pictures aren't the great - I'm really not the best at photographing clothes and they were taken when I was back home so I had to make the most of different rooms and space. I will however, more than likely be featuring most of the clothing in outfit of the days coming very soon so you'll be able to see them a little bit better. I'd just quickly like to say a massive thank you to Westfield for the gift card - it was incredibly kind of them and I had a great day in the wonderful shopping centre. The Westfield gift card is a great idea - you can spend it at most of the stores inside the centre which means you have a lot of variety and choice. Have you ever been to a Westfield centre before?

The gift card was gifted to me free of charge so a lot of the items mentioned were essentially PR samples. However, I wasn't asked to blog about my visit and all items were chosen by me.

LOOKBOOK: Ooh La La

Blouse: Primark

Skirt: H&M

Shoes: New Look

I wrote this post yesterday and this morning I woke up and Britney's new song - called "Ooh La La" - for the Smurfs 2 movie has actually leaked! So that was a great start to my morning. It's such a fun, cute pop song and it makes me happy. Anyway, I'm going out tonight so I thought I'd show you what I'm going to be wearing. I've been loving skirts at the moment and when I saw this H&M skirt on a blog sale, I knew I had to have it. It's such a classic colour and it reminds me of being a little school girl with the pleats. I've had the blouse for a while now, I wore it when I met the Spice Girls and it gives off a vintage vibe which I think looks great with the skirt - hopefully. I am going into town later on today as I'm going to have to get some nude tights as I just can't be bothered to fake tan while the weather is this miserable haha. I hope you all have a lovely day and I might post another post later on today :)

LOOKBOOK: Primark nerd

Another outfit post from me. I really do need to get some kind of white background but there really isn't anywhere in my flat. There is a nice little place outside of my room but that would mean posing with a camera and a tripod out in the corridor for all to see and I don't think I'm quite ready for that just yet. This outfit is all from Primark - of course. The t-shirt was £4 and I just had to buy it because it's so girly. Pink is my favourite colour and when I was a little girl, it was the only colour I would wear. But somehow it got into my head that older girls shouldn't wear pink but now, stuff that "rule." I need some in my wardrobe. The denim skirt was £8 and originally, I wanted a black one in a similar style. However, when I went into Primark the black skirt was only available in either a size 20 or a size 6 so I was a little gutted. But then I spotted this little beauty out of the corner of my eye and quickly snapped it up. I love how versatile it is - it goes with anything and can be worn in the day or at night time. The tights were £2.50 and for tights, they're very comfortable and opaque, I love them. They're more like leggings than tights. Anyway, I'm hoping to do a few more outfit posts and they'll all be tagged with the "Lookbook" label. What do you think? Do you think I should brave the corridor posing?

OOTD: Yellow peplum

Outfit of the day posts definitely scare me. I'm awkward at posing and I'm worried about what you all will think of my outfit. Also, there's nowhere to take a decent outfit post in my apartment - queue Britney Spears stage, Britney posters, TV and wrapping paper in the background - but I've finally braved it. This outfit is pretty simple and it's just one that I wore to go shopping and to the library the other day in. The top is peplum style but it's pretty subtle and I love the yellow detailing - a colour I usually shy away from. I bought this top in the sales a while ago from Primark and I think it cost me just £3 but I'd never wore it a lot until more recently. Probably because my recent weight loss (and then gain after Easter, oops) has made me a little bit more confident. The skirt is a simple black bodycon skirt from New Look and the leggings are of course, Primark. I also have my shamballa bracelet on that my mum bought me - however you can't see it very well in this picture, it's pink and white though. So there you have it, a simple outfit. I hope you like it - eek.

OOTD: Dork

An outfit post on Bamboozle Beauty? Really? I know! It's a rarity. I don't feel comfortable doing outfit posts all of the time but I bought this t-shirt yesterday and I just had to show it you. I've been after one for a while now but I couldn't justify spending nearly £20 on one from Topshop. So of course, I turned to my trusty Primark. This top cost me just £4! Unbelievable right?! I love these t-shirts because of the way that they fit, the sleeves and the colour. I'm not particularly fond of the writing/text but hey-ho, you win some and you lose some. The disco pants are off of eBay and I've been loving wearing them lately. My earrings are once again from Primark and they cost me just £1. The lipstick* is from KIKO and it's in the colour 03. It's a beautiful bright pink/purple colour and it lasts on the lips for ages. And finally, the nail polish* is also from KIKO and it's in the colour 423. I haven't taken this off of my nails since I received it. It's a stunning green colour with green flecks of shimmer/glitter running through it. Oh and my socks are from Primark in case you're wondering - I was too cold to take them off!

WHAT I WORE: To the VIVA FOREVER! Cocktails launch

As you all already probably know by now, on Tuesday 5th February I was invited to the launch of the VIVA FOREVER! cocktails at Harvey Nichols. As my original post on the launch was way too long (you can view it here), I decided to put my outfit and make up in a separate post for you.

For my outfit, I kept it pretty simple. I wore my brown boots from New Look, my disco pants dupe off of eBay and my new blouse from Primark (which cost just £2 in the sale). I then paired this outfit with some rose gold earrings from New Look. Underneath the blouse, I wore a skin coloured vest as the blouse is pretty sheer.

I curled my hair with my new curlers, the BaByliss 2287BU Pro Curl 210 Styling Hair Tongs and although my hair looks pretty decent in these photos, by the end of the event, it had unfortunately completely dropped. You can probably also see that I've ombred my hair so expect a blog post on that soon too! I used my HD Brow Palette* on my eye brows, Laura Mercier's Silk Creme Foundation, Benefit's Boi-ing Concealer and 17's Miracle Matte Pressed Powder on my skin, Nars' Deepthroat and Liz Earle's Natural Glow Bronzer* on my cheeks and on my lips I used Revlon's Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie*. 

As always, apologies for the dodgy eye liner application on one eye and also, sorry for the bottom two photos - I have no idea why they're blurry in the collage as the original photos weren't. On my eyes, I used Urban Decay's YDK all over the lid and Urban Decay's Buck in the crease to add definition. I then used Urban Decay's Half Baked underneath my lower lash line and Urban Decay's Sin underneath my brow bone and on the inner corner of my eyes. The eye liner on my top lid is Collection 2000's Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner and on my water line it's Lancome Le Crayon Khol in Noir. For mascara, I used Lancome's Hypnose Drama.

Make up and outfit of the night

Since getting a better camera, I've been taking pictures of my eye make up a lot more. This is the make up that I wore out last night and for the first time in a long time, I resorted to using my Urban Decay Naked palette. Since the release of the Naked 2 and the Naked Basics palette, this one has taken a back seat. Probably because I don't like the packaging as much as the others and also because the colours are a lot more warm toned than the Naked 2. However, I do love this palette and I feel bad for neglecting it so I thought I'd do a warm toned, shimmery smoky eye and this is how it turned out...

First of all, I know my eye liner flicks aren't perfect (especially on my left eye) but I am getting better and I keep on trying to perfect them. Maybe one day, I'll get there! I started off my using Sidecar all over the lid. This is a colour that I used to use in my crease but I did want a deep smoky eye so I thought it'd be good using it over my lid. I then used a little bit of Smog in the crease to create a more defined shape. To darken and smoke this out, I used Hustle on the outer corner and winged this out. I used Sin to highlight the inner corners of my eyes and also my brow bone. I then used Sin, Sidecar and Hustle underneath my eye to create a gradual effect. The eyeliner I used was the Collection 2000 Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner and I set this and darkened the liner with the eyeshadow Creep which is also from the Naked palette. The mascara I used was my favourite Lancome Hypnose Drama. I also used Lancome's Le Crayon Khol Noir on my waterline which is wonderful as it lasts all night long.

What do you think about this eye look? I ended up really liking it as it defined the eyes well whilst also creating a bit of drama. More recently, I've stopped wearing intense smoky eyes but I'm definitely going to start doing so more often as I had a lot of fun creating it.

You can buy the Naked Palette for £36 here.

I also brought out my favourite ever lipstick which is MAC's Lazy Day. I don't use this very often as it was a limited edition item from the To The Beach collection but it's the most perfect nude pink shade ever and I'm really glad I wore it. I didn't take it out with me for touch ups though as I'd be too scared to lose it haha! You can see a swatch of the lipstick here. The outfit picture isn't very good as I had to create a collage on Paint instead of my usual PicMonkey as it just wasn't going well at all. But my blouse was from Primark (in the sale, £2, absolute bargain). It is one or two sizes too big for me and because of that, I paired it with my rip off Disco Pants from eBay. I've been searching all day to try and find a link to them but I just can't so I'm guessing they have stopped selling them. I was a bit apprehensive to wear this but I did actually feel pretty comfortable in them in the end. The shoes aren't what I wore out in the end as they are ridiculously high but the shoes in the picture are from Steve Madden and I will be doing a blog post on them soon!

I didn't get many pictures throughout the night as I think we were all too busy having a good time. But it was a really lovely night out and the picture above is of me and a few friends (and the rest of the football team) off of Facebook so sorry about the LQ image.

What do you think about this look? Do you like wearing heavy eye make up on night's out?

OOTD: Don't You Leave Me Brokenhearted Tonight & Update

Another outfit of the day for you all! I think I need to get a better tripod because mine keeps collapsing for some strange reason. So maybe that's something I'll spend my student loan on. Do you have any recommendations? Not expensive ones. Ideally not more than £10! I'll also have to ask my sister if I can steal her camera because hers is better when it comes to taking outfit shots.

Cardigan - Warehouse

Dress - Primark

Leggings - Primark

Necklace - Tally & Hoe*

I'm still awkward when it comes to taking outfit pictures, as you can probably tell. It just seems weird standing infront of a camera and posing! I love this dress. I've said it before but the fit is so nice. The camera didn't really pick it up but it fits on the top half and then flares at the bottom. It creates a beautiful silhouette and generally just makes me feel confident. As you'll probably be able to tell from my OOTD's my outfits are all pretty much exactly the same. Leggings, a dress, cardigan/blazer, necklace. I'm not the most fashionable person in the world but I do like wearing what suits me and what's comfortable for me. Oh and I love bird prints too! I also curled my hair with my GHDs.

I'm sorry for the lack of updates recently but I'm currently in Freshers Week which is completely hectic and this is the first time that I've been able to sit at my laptop with enough time to write a blog post. This outfit is pretty old but I didn't just want to write an update post on its own so I thought the outfit would go well with it. Next week is my first week of university lessons so I'm not too sure if I'll have a lot of time then either. But give it a couple of weeks and I'm sure I'll be back into the swing of things in no time!
