WHEN SIMPLE WORKS BEST - OOTD 05/10/15

Recently I've become quite a fan of basic t-shirts and wearing the colour white. I find that simple clothing looks really good a lot of the time, and I am really in love with one of my latest buys; this simple white top is from New Look and has a cute pocket on the front, it's quite slouchy (which I love) so it isn't just a boring, plain white t-shirt. I like to wear it with the equally simple-but-effective blue jeans and I either wear it with black Dr Martens boots or white Converse low-tops. With simple clothing, I also like to layer quite basic and low-key necklaces.

Just to add, I wanted to write a quick paragraph here about my favourite jeans. Topshop Jamie jeans. I've been favouring this style of jeans for well over a year now, I have them in black and blue, and I think they're possibly the most perfect jeans I've ever found. I think it's quite important to invest in some nice-quality jeans, because jeans tend to last ages and ages, so I don't really find myself minding about the £40 price tag. I like my jeans to be skinny, and these definitely are, they hug my legs in a flattering way and they haven't become baggy and misshapen over time, which is perfect. They're the style known as 'ankle grazers' so they finish just on my ankle bone, but I think that's a pretty good look with folded over socks and low-cut shoes. All in all, I love these jeans. I think they're perfect. The perfect style, the perfect fit, they've lasted ages without having to buy a new pair, and they have a soft denim feel (for some reason, I like my denim items of clothing to actually feel like denim, that's important to me when buying jeans). I can't see myself changing my jeans style for a long time.

Top- New Look (£6.99)

SKIN MONTH | THE WIPE COMPARISON

I reviewed the Body Shop Vitamin E Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes earlier this month and I completely fell in love with them, HOWEVER, I am nearly running out and Body Shop is rather expensive so I thought I'd try another (and slightly cheaper) brand of wipes and see the comparison...
(Read my Body Shop wipes review here)

Simple Kind To Skin Cleansing Facial Wipes (£2.99):
These come to half the price of the Body Shop wipes (they cost £6) so for starters I am pleased. Simple claims to remove waterproof mascara but, as I don't wear much mascara and when I do it's non-waterproof, unfortunately I cannot review that for you (I am very tempted to get my best friend to try one out for me but that might be a bit weird). These wipes also claim to be good for sensitive skin which is great for me, but, when I was testing out super dark foundation on my brothers hand as a joke- poor boy, he scrubbed a bit too hard to get it off and his hand came out a bit splotchy for a while, however I did not find this to be the case on my hand when removing lipstick samples so I suppose it is different for different people (?).
Once I actually tried these on my face I completely fell in love with them, I believe that they even work a little bit better than the Body Shop ones which is fab. The Simple wipes are also so much more gentle on my skin (which is what it says on the packet), I find that under my eyes gets quite sore if I rub too hard with the Body Shop ones but that doesn't happen with Simple. After removing my eyeliner with the Simple wipes there was actually nothing left and it had even removed two day old makeup which was brilliant.
I feel very unfaithful to my Body Shop wipes that I have loved so much but I do think that I will be repurchasing the Simple ones over them as I think they work a little bit better and the Simple ones are half the price of the Body Shop ones (see above for prices).
