NY Eve OOTD!

blouse - primark // jeans - primark // lipstick - art deco's dita von teese  I recently went sales shopping and well here we are! I decided to dress down and casual for NY's eve with a little bit of colour as I attended a family party. For months last year I lusted after the huge blouses Topshop were selling and I never got my mitts on one. So I settled for second best with this gorgeous blossom one from Primark (they had a gorgeous orange print on too!) I paired it with a strappy white top to hide my boobies and plain black jeans also from Primarni & on my wrist I have my Pandora bracelet. Like I said, nice and casual but also ever so comfy. I thought I'd show you a FOTD picture as well as I felt (not like you can tell) my make up went perfectly for a change. By that I mean my eyeliner flicks matched, yay! Last but not least have the picture I shared on Instagram of me and Tom! happy new year everyone xoxoxox

Pink Ladies | FOTD

I recently did a lovely eyeshadow look for work that I wanted to share with you all as I'm trying to get in to the whole 'I won't wear eyeliner everyday!' It was actually unintentional, I just meant for the look to be a nice pale pinky colour and due to my crease brush having a little black colour from the day before it transferred and darkened my look, but I liked it even more!

 For the base colour I used my NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk and the base shade was number 5 which I dusted all over my lid and the crease shade number 6 in this sleek palette (full of my favorite colours!!) which I put into my crease and blended outwards and down which is when the black transferred down.

I recently went on a little spree which included quite a few No7 products and a few balm stains from Revlon which I'm currently loving. The new mascara I bought seems like a perfect dupe for the Benefit They're Real mascara so look out for some reviews from me in the future! Also despite the 'look' not being what I planned, I absolutely love it and I may have to try and recreate this! :)

Now I really wanted to do another of these posts (despite my looks all being the same nearly!) as I've got new glasses, I can actually see the blusher in my cheeks and I curled my hair, I felt like a pretty girl! Also I wanted to post to go up today, I didn't want my blog to lack. (As you can tell this is scheduled as I am currently in York for the Rocky Horror Picture Show eek!)

I know most of my looks are the same and I really should branch out but I really enjoy wearing them. I love the flicked eyeliner and ruby lips. You may not be able to tell but on this day I actually got my flicks pretty perfect, they both look equal together and I was so happy with them! Also this was the second attempt at my hair curl and I love it, it's still a wee bit short but not much growing left to do! :)

What's your favorite look?

Face Primed & Ready - Collection 2000 Foundation spf 15 in shade 03 - The Body Shop Pressed Powder in 18 Ivory - Collection Kick Ass Concealear in Light - Soap and Glory  English Rose Blush - MUA Eyes
Sleek Storm Platte  - shade 2 (light gold glitter) & shade 7 (dark brown/bronze glitter) Thick & Fast Mascara - Soap & Glory  For my lips I just used a simple Asda's own lip balm My skin looks so freckly eek! Now I had a lot of fun creating this look for work, I thought instead of just boring eyeliner or mascara I thought I'd wear some eye shadow instead. I really wanted to wear the darker colour on it's own but thought it to be a little too dark so I put the sliver on and then used my angled eye shadow brush from my e.l.f pack and this is the outcome, for a change I really like it, it's different than my usual black and the colours go nicely. However towards the end of the day it started to crease, I must work on that otherwise I'll never wear eye shadow :(

Most days to college my make up is quite minimalism  I tend to have my foundation on and then a bit of mascara but I decided to liven up last Monday with a bit of red and dark eyes. This is one of my favorite looks, it makes me feel quite classy for college and I had a fab outfit to match (I'll show you sometime). Also I've found a new favorite lipstick! One of Kate Moss' matt collections, the colour is to die for!! I spent all of last week wearing it, brightening my college face up just a tiny bit, I like the change :)

1 Year | FOTD & OOTD

Yes I know this post is a little late as Valentine's day was on Thursday but I thought I'd save my post for the weekend. So, as well as it being V Day it was also mine and Tom's year anniversary (soppy soppy) which we were super excited for. We didn't go present mad as we're both super skint all the time and all we do is spend our money on food. However he got me some of the most gorgeous gifts ever! 

The bear was hand-made (his mum showed him how) and I love the little paper weight simply because the bear is reading a book!

We had a very relaxed day at home, we made dinner and just couch potato'd all day which was rather lovely. For the evening we went to the cinema to see Die Hard 5 which gave me an excuse to dress up which I took full advantage of (we went out for our meal last week). I also decided to wear my new Kate Moss lipstick which I'm totally in love with! 

Dress - Primark

Bag - Matalan

Coke Cap Necklace - eBay

Jacket - New Look (old)

My shoes were my black Docs but they aren't featured in the photos.

This is one of my favorite dresses and it makes me feel all vintage-y and the bag is wonderful too it can fit all sorts into it! My make up was very basic with Collection 2000 powder. My eye make up was from the Glitter Ball MUA palette and my lipstick is 111 from the Matt collection by Kate Moss.

I hope you all had a wonderful V Day and have an amazing weekend!

I don't tend to make this much effort with my make up very much due to hurting contact lenses and not enough time in a morning. However yesterday I didn't start till half 10 so I thought I'd give my full face a go as well as dressing to impress. A normal day is a creamy mousse foundation with a slight use of powder (my skin likes to go very dry some days!) with minimal eye make up normally resulting in mascara and a little eye shadow and lip balm.

Yesterday I thought I'd branch out back to my old ways and delve into my red lipstick and vintage flicks! This is one of my favorite make up looks ever, I just feel ever so classy. I also used my favorite lipstick by Kate Moss (seriously they are fab try them out!) which I adore but sadly my boyfriend doesn't. I always enjoy days more when I've got a bit more make up on, feels like I've really made and effort and I enjoy putting my make up on, it's a shame I hate taking it off.

Do you have a favorite make up look?
