Revlon& Boujois Reviews.

The 3 for 2 poster at boots dragged me in today, I have a serious makeup buying problem and the thought of getting some free just made it worse! I try to justify buying too much makeup on the fact that I'm a blogger and I share new things with you lovely readers! Not convinced? Yeah me either! But the offer did give me a chance to finally buy the Revlon ColourBust Balm I've been umming and ahhing over for a while! So I bought Revlon ColourBurst Matte Balm in 205, Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in 040 and Bourjois Rouge Edition in 10. 

 Revlon ColourBurst Matte Balm in 205 £7.99

The first thing I thought when I took the lid off this was ahh minty, its scented and I love that! On the lips it doesn't feel too heavy and it gives a lovely matte finish and is very colour true to the packaging. I love the packaging of this too as it texture of the 'stick' is matte, its very handy and easy to apply.

Bourjois Rouge Edition in 10

£7.99

I chose this colour as it was the nicest orange tinged red that I could find and I've never tried Boujouis makeup before so I thought why not? As a swatch I can see the orange tone very well but haven't tried it on properly yet so not sure how it will look on my lips, especially with my pale skin. I like this packaging too although the pink and red colour clash wording lets it down a little.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in 040 

£7.99

This balm is also mint scented, but don't be fooled by the bright orange packaging it really isn't this colour! On the lips it gives a subtle orange tinge that on my lips appears a coral colour. It feels very light weight and nourishing. Packaging again is a great size and design.

You can see by these swatches the different intensities

Monochrome with a Pastel Pop!

So today is a lovely spring day so I had a little walk up town, I didn't feel like wearing all black today but it wasn't quite warm enough for a full spring wardrobe so I wore my cigarette pants, wedges and leather jacket with my pastel blue jumper. I love this combo! Its just the right amount of colour without looking too matchy matchy. Plus I even got to wear my sunglasses today! Yay sunshine!

So on this lovely spring afternoon I got outside and motherbear took some (very posey, sorry) photos! I love this casual band shirt and cigarette pants combo! Wish I hadn't worn this top so i could wear this tomorrow but hey I have plenty of band shirts, think tomorrow's will be Metallica. Also trying out the purple goth lips, think i'll stick to red!

1.  Fuji Instax Mini 8.

This camera is so adorable, it's perfect too as it's instant! I love Polaroids and I'm so sad that my old one has broke!

I've even looking at orange lipsticks for a while and completely fell in love when I saw Illamasqua have brought one out in their spring range!

3. Juju Glow In The Dark Wellies! (Asos)

I am a pretty basic wellie wearer usually but when I saw juju do glow in the dark ones, I jumped for joy! These would be perfect for ynot (or any festival)

4. Pastel Blue JuJus! 

Everyone seems to be in love with them and I see why! They're so cute and perfect for summer!

5. Eyeko Skinny Liquid Liner. 

Cause what girl doesn't wish they were Alexa Chung? Yeah that's what I thought. 

6. Mom shorts - Topshop. 

Summer shorts are a must, and I love them all through the year! This colour is so cute and would be great with almost any top!

7. Gingham Cigarette Trousers - Topshop. 

Now I've got black and white I need these too! Perfect for spring and summer.

Yes these are shorts! How great is that?! Perfect spring colour too! 

So that's all for today guys! Love to hear what you think or what's on your wish lists for this season!xo

Pastel Blue Fifties Dress.

Just been looking through some old photos from last year and came across some from my Mamma and Grandad's anniversary party. I've got to say the outfit I wore is one of my favourites! I bought it when I was in year 6 for one of my birthday parties, which was Hairspray themed! My cousin wore it for that party, I wore it on a 'big writing day' where I was sewn into it for the day as the zip broke! Amazingly this dress still fits me now, and I'm so glad that I does as its a truly gorgeous dress!

So here's some photos...

I love these photos of me and my Grandad jiving!

Pink shoes!

So on my little online shopping spree last week I clicked my way all the way to asos, where I fell in love with a few cutie little things. Amongst the glow in the dark juju wellies and eyko eyeliner I found the most adorable pair of baby pink shoes! Which just had to be mine, I've been wanting to get some shoes like these for a while but none had quite took my fancy as much as these spring perfect little flats! So without further ado here's the little beauties, I will do an outfit post at some point but for now it's just this cheeky snap! 

Ps the glow in the dark jujus and eyeko liner are the next on my shopping list! Along with a Fuji instax mini in blue!

New Found Love.

So everyone the results are in and I've decided cigarette pants on us gals with big hips are a huge YES. I never want to take them off! I love them, the print, the shape, the texture- wow! They are so flattering and don't make me feel like all attention is on my hips and if it is then it's good attention! Here's some cheeky snaps of my date night outfit! 

Sorry bout the cheeky bum shot but hey come on I did say the trousers make us hippy ladies look good!

Another New Layout?

I spoil you guys I really do! My blogs got another new look, well kind of its a lot more techy now! You can see theres links to my twitter and instagram which you can feel free to follow. My instagram is private but that is more because of avoiding spam or creepy people( ps only follow if your not creepy) Ive also updated my 'about me section' I really couldn't stand how it looked before, so finally figured out how to change it! Maybe let me know what you think? I'd love to give advice on how I did it so ask away!

Thanks for viewing lovelies!xo

Cigarette Pants?

Last week at college we were all talking about now cigarette pants were the most flattering trousers for girls with big hips. I wasn't sure if I agreed but tonight went ahead and ordered a gorgeous pair from topshop which are black and white gingham. I'm quite nervous for when they come cause I don't really wear jeans much never mind any trousers, the only trousers that aren't jeans I own are a pair of school trousers I borrowed off a friend and never gave back (sorry Lauren). I think they have quite a vintage look to them as in the fifties lots of women wore cropped cigerette pants, anyway I'll do I post when they come! 

College Project.

For our college project our brief was to create a sleeve and collar inspired by nature and our visit to chatsworth gardens. The project was called 'in the garden' we had to create a sketchbook of sampling and development of design work. For my project I developed a design which included a floor length kimono style sleeve with tucks and shirring, a cropped bodice, fully shirred back bodice, mandrin collar and sewn on shirring to the front bodice. It was a very difficult design to make but in the end I was really proud of my final result. Here's some photos...

Just a little heads up if you ever think of doing lots of shirring- don't! I snapped over 20 needles doing this project! 

I would love to hear any feedback that you could give, so feel free to comment xo
