The Only Proof I Need Is You *FOTD*

Products Used:

L'Oreal Lumi Magique Base Primer

MAC Studio Fix Fluid (NW10) 

hdBrow Palette (Bombshell)

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain (Honey)

I wanted to keep this look relatively low key as there was a lot of vibrancy in my outfit, so I used the silver shimmer eyeshadow on the base of my lids and used the black shadow to line my lash line; using a blending brush I smudged it along to create a smokey eye look. The rest of my face remained neutral, with the use of my favourite lip stain. I've become somewhat addicted to the MUA shimmer highlighter and I'm pretty sure I've used it every day since purchasing it. It just adds an extra hint of health to my complexion, I tend to use it on top of whatever blusher I'm using that day. 

This is such a simple and easy look to wear, perfect for the days when you want to look like you've made some effort without making any at all. 

Let me know if you'd like to see a review of any of these products!

P.s. I should probably mention, I made a guest post on Daisies and DM's blog, take a look!

Gracefully cursed, I thirst. *FOTD*

Morning lovelies!
This is just a quick post before I shoot off to work, but I'm wearing something a little different to what I would normally wear and I thought I'd carry this theme through to my hair and face. So, I bring you today's face of the day!

I bought this lovely dress a few days ago, it's 'different' to say the least but I really do love it.

This is the pattern on the dress

(There are no full length mirrors in the house, and I'm in a bit of a rush so sorry about the picture!) 

Excuse the stock photo, but here's the dress in its entirety,

 From Izabel London for £15

Now, on to the make up! 

My aim was to go quite heavy on the eyes and fresh looking everywhere else. You can't see in this photo, but I have some bright pink eyeshadow as the base on my eyelids, and my usual winged eyeliner to top it off with a dark blue shadow under the water line. 

As the dress has a high neck, I've pulled my hair up so that it's not too 'busy' and all of the attention falls on to the neckline.

I always used to be so adventurous with colours when it comes to eye make up, but for the past 3 years or so I seem to have become settled in my ways. This has made me want to start experimenting all over again!

What do we think about bright eye make up? (and the dress, for that matter, I'm still a little nervous about wearing it!)

Highstreet Haul

Hi lovelies!

I'm back with a fashion/beauty related post, after my past few seem to have strayed a little bit! I just enjoy using this space for a bit of anything and everything, I hope that's okay with you guys.
I've made a quick trip to Primark and Superdrug over the past couple of days, and I thought I'd share it with you as I managed to buy enough to keep me satisfied without breaking the bank.

As you can see, i'm still getting over excited with the prospect of summer but I did try to be a bit sensible about it. 

I love the new platform Converse style shoes, over the past few months I've been in the habit of wearing something with a bit of a heel to make my short-ness less obvious to the world, but (hopefully) it'll start being too hot for boots, so these are nice little replacement.

 I really love the new black and white top that I think would go nicely with pair of black skinny jeans and the shoes, it's quite a baggy top but I'm guessing that's the style, I'll probably add a brown rope waist belt to it though. 

Platform Pumps- £8
Aztec Top- £8

On the even more summery side of things, I grabbed a pair of white espadrilles and this white crop top with fringe detail (perfect for still keeping your midriff covered but not overheating in the sun.) I've ordered a pair of boho baggy trousers that I think would go perfectly with these, I just need the sunshine to arrive for me to test this theory out! 

Crop Top- £6
Espadrilles- £4 

To add to the summer kick, I popped into Superdrug to pick up a few items (one of which I featured on my last wishlist) 

Sleek Blusher- Life's a Peach - £4.49

Revlon Colourburst Lip Butter- Tutti Frutti - £7.99

Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine- Lychee - £3.99

MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter - £2

I've been using all three of these items for the past few days, it seems I have become addicted to orange and corals; I never would have expected this of me but snow in March does weird things to a person! 

I'm pretty sure this is the first haul post i've done, so what do we think? There won't be frequent posts like this as I'm trying to be sensible with my money these days, but I like seeing that I managed to buy a few things and not having to feel guilty about it! 

I decided to jazz up the photos a little bit, and hopefully they're a bit more visually pleasing!

If you guys don't already know, I now have a youtube channel so please do subscribe to me over there too! Click me :)

Hi guys!

Oops it looks like I published this before I'd finished it, I was in a mad rush to leave the house this morning- my bad! 

As you may be able to tell, I've changed my hair colour (yet again) to a red/ginger colour (it's lighter on the length of my hair, very 'multi-tonal,') and with that comes a new inspiration for make up. As I said in my last wishlist post, I'm really loving the coral look and I think this is because it just looks so fresh so I'm trying to bring that into my every day look, hopefully it's working! 

I've kept the eye make up quite simple, and just blended the two 'Colour Tattoo' products across my lid, starting with the lighter Eternal Gold in the corner and blending outwards into On and On Bronze, I've then applied a bit of liquid liner along the lash line and added a small wing. It's still enough to add a bit of edge to the overall look, as for the rest of my make up I've kept it simple and refreshing looking.

I've purchased a couple of new products today, I just had to feed the Coral love, so I'm excited to incorporate these in to my daily looks. (And to review them- expect a couple of reviews in the near future!)

FOTD. feat Rimmel Apocalips

Sorry about the *not so great* quality of these photos, it was just a quick snap taken on my iphone when I was on my lunchbreak at work! 

I've jumped on the band wagon and purchased the new Rimmel Apocalips, and yesterday was my first time wearing it so I just wanted to share the look. 

Products used: 

L'Oreal Paris Lumi Magique Primer- £9.99

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream (light) - £7.99

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer (fair) - £5.99

Benefit High Beam - £18.50

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder (peach glow) - £3.99

HD Brow Palette 

MUA Trio Eyeshadow (passion) - £2.50

Benefit They're Real Mascara - £18.50

Rimmel Apocalips (303 apocaliptic) - £5.99

For my eye make up, I used the white powder in the MUA palette as a base, the lightest purple in the inner corner and blending to about half way along my eyelid, and the darkest purple along my lash line and bottom lash line. 

I think I have a new love for the Rimmel Apocalips... I only purchased this one colour, but I might have to buy another as I love how vibrant and long lasting it is! 

Can anybody recommend me a colour??
