Style Crush~Camila Cabello


Hey Guys :) 
Time to share another one of my celebrity crushes. Next is the Fifth Harmony member Camila Cabello. I am a huge fan of Fifth Harmony and really like their music but I always seem to love Camila's style. Everything I see her wear I love and would completely wear it myself. Our fashion sense would be quite similar.

She's a similar shape to me so I suppose that makes it easier to relate to her style. I love how quirky and fun she is with her fashion. Her clothes appear really comfy and are so cute. 



  Camila loves to wear cropped jumpers and tops with almost every outfit but she never has a huge amount of her stomach on show. I like this because really cropped tops can sometimes look a little tacky, I think.


 As I've mentioned before, I love to wear anything with collar. Clearly Camila is the same as she wears lots of tops and dresses with collars on which is why I love Camila's style so much!

 I just love Camila's cute and quirky fashion sense. She knows what suits her and sticks with it which I admire her for.


I also love how easy Camila's makeup is to create. her skin always looks flawless and  healthy. She wears a light pink blush on her cheeks which makes her appear healthy and awake. 

She only wears a shimmery neutral shadow on her eyes but then has a strong winged liner. She then coats her eyelashes with some mascara and individual fake lashes on the outer edge of her eyelashes.

       

Camila's hair is something I would pay to have. She's blessed with long wavy voluminous hair. She nearly almost has it down and with loose waves. She sometimes straightens it but it always has volume. 

She never really pins back her hair but she does sometimes add a hair accessory like a bow or a hat. Her hair is just amazing.

Basically I love everything about Camila Cabello which is why she is one of my style crushes. I hope you like these posts and thanks for reading. Let me know who your style crush is. I made an Instagram account for this blog "MissMichelleMarieBlog."Go follow me there too if you want.

Review: L'oreal Elvive Fibrology Shampoo and Conditioner.

I had struggled with my thin hair for so long and just had a constant battle with my hair. I couldn't tie it up in a big voluminous effortless topknot bun without it looking like a tiny bump on my head.

 I used different shampoos that were for "fine hair" hoping that it would make my hair appear thicker but I wasn't impressed with any I used.

When I heard about the L'oreal Elvive Fibrology Thickening Range, I decided I'd give it a try. I used the shampoo and conditioner non-stop for a month and i started to notice a difference. My hair had more strength and volume. 

 My friends in school even started to notice that my hair looked thicker. I honestly believe this shampoo and conditioner has thickened my hair. The ends of my hair aren't as scraggy and thin as they used to be. I can tie my hair up in a bun without a problem and I'm just so happy with this range. 

My hair just feels thicker and fuller than before and I can only really say it was this product that helped. It smells quite strong but not sweet which I actually like. My hair is still quite fine but it's definitely not as thin.

For such an affordable range it's worth a shot. 

Let me know if you've used these products before and what you're thoughts on them were. I'd be really interested to know.

My Winter Fashion Essentials.

Hey Everyone, it's finally Winter. I love winter because it means it's getting closer to Christmas, Eeeeek! (excited dance) 

 The first one is obviously an essential for all of us at Winter time. It's a parka jacket or any cosy jacket of your choice. Loads of shops are now selling their version of these parka coats. There are a wide variety of colours from grey, cream, green, black, wine and brown. Some with furry hoods, some with none.

 I have 2 myself and I love them SO much. I wear them everywhere during the winter and it keeps me so warm while still being stylish. They can be expensive but I've found my 2 for around the €40.00 mark so there are definitely some cheaper ones out there. they're just way too useful not to have. 
 I love to wear knit jumpers, turtle neck, cropped or long. They're look so nice and warm. They are a great alternative to wearing layers of tops and then having to chuck on a hoodie to keep warm.


 Black jeans are such an essential all year around but especially in Winter. To be honest I like to wear my black disco pants or black leggings more than black jeans because I find them comfier but black jeans are definitely more wearable because they go with every kind of outfit. I currently don't have any in my wardrobe but I'm on the hunt for a pair. I'm just so fussy when it comes to jeans

 I love the "tartan" look that was in last Winter and now again this year. I think it looks so festive. It's became such a big trend that I love. A scarf in general is essential for the colder months but I'm personally loving the tartan printed ones.


 Fluffy socks are basically the only socks i wear in Winter, They are so warm and if you're someone like me who gets really cold hands and feet then you'll understand why I love them. 

 Boots are the last fashion essential for me.  As I said in my "Autumn Essentials" post, boots look amazing with outfits during Autumn and Winter. Boots are to be worn during these months so why not wear them?

Hope you enjoyed this post. I'll be back again Monday.

October Favourites

Hey everyone,
It's now November so I guess it's time for another "Monthly Favourites" Enjoy.

I have been using a lot of the makeup I have already in my makeup collection so I have only one makeup product that I loved throughout October. It's the Maybelline 24hr  Colour Tatoo in "On and On Bronze." 

This basically is a cream eye-shadow base that adds a bit of a colour to your lids but also acts as a primer for your eye-shadow. It makes blending eye-shadows really easy and keeps them on your lids for longer.

 It's the perfect lazy product because you can apply with your finger and then either leave it on it's own or apply eye-shadows on top. I did a look using this product in my last post.  I've loved it this month.

During October i have loved using an angled eye-shadow brush to apply a dark eye-shadow along my lash-line. I just take any dark brown or black matte eye-shadow I have and apply it with this brush along my lash-line instead of using eye-liner. 

I find that this brush helps to make that line as thin and precise as I want to make my lashes appear thinker. It also means that if I mess up the line, I can just smudge it away unlike eye-liner where you have to try and wipe it away. This is just easier and helps me with the cat-eye flick.

My next 2 favourites are hair related. The first is the L'oreal Elnett Satin Heat Protecting Spray I've used these too spray a lot this month. I really like the heat protecting spray because it makes my hair shiny and keeps my hair straighter for longer while protecting my hair from heat.  It smells good too.

Next is the L'oreal Studio Line Volumizing, Supersizing Spray. I have quite fine hair so anything that gives my hair a bit of volume and depth, I'm all for. This month I straightened my hair a few times, which I rarely do so I needed a lot more volume at my roots as it tends to go flat when straightened. I just sprays this at my roots and it helps to add volume. 

I don't just use this when my hair is straightened though, I use it whenever I feel like my hair is looking a bit limp. I like to spray it on my hair whenever I'm doing a high bun as it just adds a bit more volume and texture to my hair.  Love it.


 Next is my fashion favourite of October and it's these Suede Black Boots from Penneys. These I wear a lot because they are really comfy and look super cute with my frilly socks inside. They were so cheap, €10 I think and just really nice boots for everyday wear.


Time for my favourite songs of the month. starting with Maroon 5 - Animals. I'm a huge fan of Maroon 5's music so I'm not surprised I liked this song. it's really good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BJ3ZXpserc

The next song is Against the Current - Another You(Another Way). I really like this song and didn't stop listening to it all month. They're a new up-and-coming band to watch. I like they're style of music and they're super talented.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ROxHLEvsT8


 Lastly, I cant't forget to mention the X Factor UK. I've been watching the X Factor since I was young and I still love it as much as I did then. I look forward to it all week. It's a singing competition in the UK. However, I'm sure you've heard of it before. if you haven't then where have you been? I'm a little obsessed with it this year, not going to lie.
 

That;s all my October favourites. Hope you enjoyed this post. New post every Monday, Love you x
