Blogs, Vlogs & Instagram
Bloggers I'm loving right now:
Itsemchannel - honest, likeable and great for plus size high street fashion. Check out her Tea with E videos
Ashleigh Jones- an edgy style, never seen without her winged eyeliner
Miss Budget Beauty - telling you the truth about beauty products in the UK. Her haul videos are great, be sure to watch her Empties videos, for the products she really loved.
Pixiwoo Founders of the Real Techniques brushes, these ladies break sophisticated make up looks into easy tutorials, using both high end and high street. Good for finding some little known make up brands.
Fuller Figure Fuller Bust Georgina Horne 's confidence is astounding. Her instagram photos show her legs go on for days.

Let's face things...
Being in my mid twenties, I think I'm late to the bandwagon of facial skincare routines.
I've always had oily skin, and a good deal of thought goes into products to combat this.
About four weeks ago, I headed to the Clinique counter and hooked myself up with their three step routine. I would consider this luxury purchase, as I love a bargain, but well worth it if they work for you, and even better if you can purchase it during Clinique 's bonus time promotions.
Step one- Liquid facial soap
This fragrance free wash has a gel consistency, and lathers easily. It doesn't sting and isn't abrasive (cough, cough Clearasil). I'm using this night and day. It cuts through the dirt and oil well.
Step two- clarifying lotion
Sweeping this over your face with a cotton wool pad, this builds on the good work of the wash, and leaves me feeling squeaky clean and matte.
Step three- dramatically different moisturising lotion
This is yellow in colour, and has a really light texture. You are supposed to put this on twice a day. Here's where I struggle- this cream sits on top of my face, even if I only apply it at night- MY T-ZONE WILL NOT MAKE FRIENDS. I'm still using it, but I'm not sold.
Face mask-
I'm using Superdrug Clearly Youthful Glycolic Peel . It's a steal at less than a fiver, goes on thick, dries in 10ish minutes and peels right off. An easy addition to my skincare routine, definately recommend this for those short on time.
Face wipes
I mostly take the day's warpaint off using Primark's own range (the green packet, for combination skin). These aren't the best, and I often feel like there's still a layer of make up to remove. I'm looking to replace these- suggestions welcome!
Also worth giving some love to the Body Shop Seaweed Range- in particular the day cream, just enough moisture without a heavy, sticky finish and no nasties. A more affordable alternative, which I may well return back to.
Hello, hello
Blog 1- Anyone there?
Hey there,
My name's Litlemisslifestyle, and i felt moved enough to make a blog. Why, I hear you ask. Well, I had a stroke of good luck really- but I'll get onto that in a while.
FYI I'm a twenty-something mother to a three year oldwhirlwind. I work full time in the property industry and I'm engaged to the man of my dreams. I'm mixed race, I'm curvy and a bit of a gobshite for time to time. I'm sure that these things will come to light in due course :)
Back to the story- little old me won a giveaway, for two tickets to the Curvy Convention in Hackney, London. Me & my equally curvy/gobshite-y bestie left the kids with their dads, and hopped the overground north of the river.
The venue was a church, called St John at Hackney, and the affair was modest, but the warmth that I felt was nothing short of amazing. For the first time, I was comfortable about clothes. I literally wanted to be a plus-size model and have all eyes on me.. But that's another thing for another time.
Things that shouted out to me:
Sydney's Closet- these guys have some serious options for evening/formal wear. They also show that plus size bridal needn't break the bank. I'll be keeping them in mind for my nuptials.
Voodoo Vixen- I've always admired the rockabilly look, and Voodoo Vixen had some really accessible options. The Judy dress is floral without apology. It packed a punch and is refreshing against the simpering half-cocked florals of late.
So with my renewed esteem, I'm throwing myself on the internet to give honest reviews, hacks and my views on fashion, beauty and all things home and parenting.
