Life at Bournemouth University

Hello everyone! Long time, no see...

I have been absolutely crazy busy since I started university this September, and finally, I'm going to be giving you an insight into my new life in Bournemouth.  

I'm so glad that I chose the university and the course that I did because they are absolutely perfect for me. Bournemouth is a lovely coastal town in the south of England and is about two hours from london and 3 hours from Essex, so I feel that it is the perfect distance from home. 

The night life here is brilliant, with some sort of event or student night happening every night, meaning that a party is never too far around the corner. The course that I am studying is Communication and Media, which is perfect for me as I am studying writing skills, journalism, film, advertising, among a whole range of other things, all of which I am very interested in. I am also planning on joining the Fashion Network society and will be looking into writing for the university media group, as I feel there are some really good opportunities there. 

 My flat is lovely and modern ( which is quite unusual for a halls of residence so I am very lucky!) and I am also very lucky to have fun, friendly and tidy housemates. 

I also love that in Bournemouth, the beach is five minutes down the road as i have always found beaches so relaxing and beautiful.

Beauty: Current favourite foundation

Recently, I have been absolutely loving the Benefit Oxygen Wow foundation as a staple for my makeup routine.

Since going on holiday, being in the sun and soaking up that vitamin D, I'm happy to say the quality of my skin has improved dramatically (I'm going to miss you summer), and I've found that this foundation has been perfect for my skin at this time.

With very light coverage, some may argue it has quite a similar consistency to a tinted moisturiser, but I find that it still gives me that amazing glowey and evened out tone that I desire in my foundation.

I find that this foundation goes really well with natural, fresh and simple makeup looks such as with a pale pink shimmery eye shadow, some mascara and a nude lip gloss.

What have your go to foundations been over the summer? Also anyone dreading dragging out the higher coverage stuff for winter?:(

Fashion: My first day at uni

This is so scary, but in just over a week, I'm off to Bournemouth University! Right now, I've got so many mixed emotions from excited to nervous to sad to be leaving my friends and family - however I have no doubt that I am going to have the best time whilst I'm there. I don't know about you, but on a potentially stressful day such as my first day, I feel that when I'm wearing a comfortable outfit that looks good and laid back, I feel so much more confident. So here is what I've planned to wear on my first day:

Fashion: My first day at uni by loveourfashion featuring petite skinny jeans

Black and white stripe shirt
£9.01 - choies.com


This is such a classic staple in any girls wardrobe: the black and white is simple and the slouchy design means that I can feel comfortable without worrying about it being tight or that a bloated stomach is getting in the way.

Topshop petite skinny jeans
£42 - topshop.com



My most worn bottoms and the ones I feel are the most flattering for my figure are my black joni jeans from Topshop, so it only seemed right that I should wear them on my moving in day - I find the stretchy material of them so comfortable as well.

River Island genuine leather shoes
£58 - riverisland.com


Brown moccasin style loafers are my all time favorite type of shoe, I feel they so effortlessly make an outfit seem so smart and sophisticated whilst still looking relaxed

Charlotte Russe crochet pouch
£19 - charlotterusse.com



I love this back pack! I think its absolutely adorable, whilst still being practical, as you can just pop it on your back whilst you explore your new city. White is definitely my new favorite colour for a bag.

So are any of you going to uni or starting college this autumn? What are your go to outfits that make you feel comfortable for such an exciting but scary time? Or if you're already at university, what are your tips?

As always, thanks for reading,
Love, Yasmin xxx

Everyday makeup routine

Hello everyone! I realise that I have been, well, non existent in the blogging world for quite a few months now, for which I apologise. However, I'm back and ready to go again! Today I thought I would talk about my makeup routine that I've been using most days this summer:

Collection Fast Stroke Eye Liner

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara

Topshop Cream Blush in 'Head Over Heels'

Sleek Brow Kit in

Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder and Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

MAC Amorous Lipstick First Impressions

Okay okay, I know that we're coming into spring and summer now and theoretically should be buying really light and floral and girly shades of lipstick, or even moving onto a lighter lipgloss... but I can't help it, I'm obsessed with berry red/ purple toned lipsticks, and this is the reason MAC Amorous caught my eye.

 

 

 

 

I don't really have many Mac products since no where in the town that I live in stocks it, so unfortunately it's only when I go to London or somewhere like that that I can actually purchase it - but I also means that I'm extra excited every time I do make a new purchase. 

 

This lipstick is not shiney or glossy but it's not completely matte either, it gives a lovely silky and satiny (if that's a word?) texture on the lips which feels really nice. It's also not drying at all which is a massive priority in my book

 

With Flash

Without flash

All in all I would say that this lipstick is a wonderful berry toned lipstick, and it's not too dark so can (in my opinion) can be worn day into night, especially if you apply it quite lightly to the lips

Hope you enjoyed this brief first impressions post! Don't forget to follow me on GFC and Bloglovin'!

Trying to be cool

Trying to be cool by loveourfashion featuring high heel boots

I think this sort of outfit is so effortlessly styled, yet there's something about it that give you that instant 'cool hipster girl that lives in Camden' vibe. Now obviously, I do not fall under that category, but this is the sort of outfit I would like to think that I could pull off. I absolutely adore the check dress from Boohoo, as I said in previous posts I am loving shift dresses right now, as the just look so cool. I'm also inn love with this rag and bone fedora and I think the burganday gives a little something extra to the outfit. What definitely makes the look 'cool' though is the chunky heeled boots with the tasselled backpack, absolutely gorgeous!

March favourites

Hello everyone! I apologise that my March favourites are a few days late but I have been crazy busy with revision for my upcoming exams (boooo) but yes, here is what I have been loving this month!

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

Recently, I have been soo bad with taking off my make up and just using wipes, which is just a massive no no really. I decided to try the Micellar water as loads of people have raved about it, plus it's such a good price (around £4 I believe?). I always struggle with getting all my mascara off, but this literally blitzes it away, brilliant!

 

Rimmel 60 seconds in 503 - Mind The Gap, Victoria

As its starting to look like spring, I feel like I should get my nails to match that. This is a gorgeous cornflower blue shade, and I absolutely love the nail polish. While it may take a little longer than 60 seconds to actually dry, they do dry super quickly and the round shape of the brush makes it very easy to apply.

 

Barry M Nail Paint in 308 - Berry

This colour is also an amazing one for spring, I just think that it's so pretty! Can't really go wrong with a classic pastel colour from Barry M really can you?

 

 

Collection Gothic Glam Lipstick in 1- Seduction
Collections new range of 'Gothic Glam' lipsticks are wonderful. I absolutely love the way that they go on to my lips as they're so soft and stay on for ages. I'm absolutely in love with this colour as well, as it's not completely dark and gothic, but it gives a little bit of edge to a makeup look

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara

I've been itching to try out this mascara since it came out! I have the flattest eyelashes (honestly, they point straight down, they're hopeless) So this mascara sounded perfect for me, as it promises to curl lashes as using hair 'rollers' - hence why the lid is shaped like a roller, and I have to say that it pretty much does what it says on the tin. It's very good at separating my lashes and lifting them, and I don't really find myself reaching for the eyelash curlers either - well done benefit!

 

Dance Mom's
 Recently I can't stop watching Dance Moms on Lifetime. I think that the moms and Abby are absolutely hilarious and the girls are so talented. It's one of those programmes that you hate to love, but keep on watching anyway.
