Aintree Grand National Ladies Day

Last week I attended my first ever races day. I headed to The Grand National Ladies Day at Aintree Racecourse and as it was my first time I decided to go all out. I'm not much of a gambler, however I loved watching the excitement of those around me cheering on their horses. And of course Ladies Day is all about the fashion.

Although I get the opportunity to dress up quite often, I've never had the chance to wear such fancy hats or fascinators, and I've always wanted to! Although there is a dress code, Grand National is not as restrictive as other events. 

I was kindly invited by Aintree and The Blogger Programme to work on the Fabulous Friday campaign. And that's exactly what it was. I headed down with my friend Elena the blogger behind Eat Wear Travel and a few others to enjoy a day at the races. 

First things first, we decided to grab a glass of bubbly to really get into the spirit. After watching a few of the races we couldn't help but notice how beautiful the the guests looked. They went all out with their dresses matching their outfits to their headpieces. I was surprised with the amount of colour around. A lot of the females were wearing bright colours, but a deep blue was running throughout the females and the men.

Although Friday is for the ladies, it was clear that a lot of the men didn't want to be outdone by the ladies; they were all looking very dapper. I don't think we saw anyone who did not take pride in their outfit that day.

The atmosphere as a whole was truly something I've never experienced before. It was so wonderful seeing everyone cheer on the horses and the whole of Aintree had a massive buzz around. It's also fascinating to note that as soon as the race ends, a lot of people disappear, either to get their winnings, place a bet on the next race or more commonly, to get another drink.

As someone who thought the races was not her scene, I can assure you have I changed my mind, I loved the whole experience from picking my outfit to the atmosphere. It's truly a great day out.

Products To Help You Get Better Skin X Getting The Pixi Glow

Something that has probably been on all our minds since the beginning on the month is skin care! With less than six months until we start baring all, it's time to focus on our skin care routine and get that smooth, glowing skin we all crave. There's nothing I love more than spending my 'off' days with a bare face, but when my skin is acting up I feel like I need to cover it all up with make up, which essentially, just makes it worse. 

When I was a teenager I suffered bad acne, and luckily as I have got older, it seems to have improved. That said, I still am prone to break out when I eat unhealthily, am stressed or when it's that time of the month. So I like to take extra care with my skincare routine to try and maintain it throughout the year.

I've seen a lot of bloggers using Pixi products and have heard nothing but good reviews on them so I have been dying to try them out, and when they arrived on my door step I was so excited to try them out for myself I spent the entire day playing around with them all. And boy are they amazing. After the first use, my skin felt so soft and hydrated it's unreal. A few days in, and i'm already noticing the difference, my skin has (I hate to say it, but it really does) have the Pixi Glow!

As all Pixi products are natural, its perfect for any skin type whether it be sensitive, dry, oily or a combination of skin types. I myself have a dehydrated and oily combination skin so it's always hard finding products that leave my skin hydrated, but not looking greasy.

Another thing that stands out with the Pixi products is the smell. The majority of the beauty products smell like roses or have a hint of a floral scent and I simply can't get over how it's already left my skin feeling so soft and plump. I love it.

After cleansing and hydrating my skin, I wanted to try some of the Pixi make up products. I especially loved the blush pallet as it is super pigmented and comes in a range of different tones suitable for any skin tone. The mascara is also extremely lengthening, which is exactly what I need and love.
