It's My Turn To Be The Black Swan
Friday, 2 November 2012

Everyone all over Facebook, Twitter and Blogger land has already gone out over the weekend for Halloween, and I've loved seeing what everyone has gone as! My friends and I decided to go out on the Wednesday - actual Halloween. They're all still students and I'm still searching for a job now I'm qualified, so we can do the whole, nights out in the middle of the week thing. In fact I might do a post on finishing uni and trying to find a suitable job soon, because it hasn't been fun and a good rant should sort me out! Anyway, this Halloween my main goal was minimal budget, because of course I'm not working at the moment. So I looked through my wardrobe and had a bit of a dilemma. I have a long black dress, so I thought, I'll go as Audrey Hepburn a la Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's - but the dress isn't anything like that at all. It's all ruched at the front and actually looks more like something one of the gals from Downton Abbey would wear - but I thought if I dressed up as that everyone would be asking me who I am all night - and feebly explaining that "I'm dressed like someone from Downton Abbey" while not actually being specifically dressed as one of the characters would make me look stupid. On to the next!
Topshop Lips in Wicked
Sunday, 28 October 2012
Topshop Lips in Wicked is one of two new colours from the "Dark Side Of Nude" collection. This collection also features another lipstick in the shade "Fawn"; Mascara in "Onyx"; two eyeshadow trios in "Prism" and "Atmosphere" (which I LOVE); and three nail varnishes in "Granite", a beautiful deep grey, "Stardust" a golden glitter and "Panther" a black and silver glitter mix. This collection is differently packaged from the usual Topshop makeup. Usually, it's in the white packaging with either black polka dots, or stripes. But Topshop as stepped up the classiness with this collection, with everything packaged in matte black with shiny black graphic accents.
Gun Metal Eyes

I haven't done a going out makeup look for a while, or well at least it feels that way! I decided to use some of the new makeup I bought when I was on holiday, really I just wanted to play with it!
What's in my Travel Makeup bag?
Wednesday, 3 October 2012
I was going to try and take minimal makeup with me on holiday, especially because I plan on buying some in duty free at the airport. When I photographed it all it looked like a LOT, but then I realised that in the grand scheme of all of my makeup, this is actually only a small amount! I probably wont use it all either, but you never know what you'll feel like wearing. I've linked any reviews to products I've included - anyway on to what I'm taking!
My Highstreet/Drugstore Makeup Wishlist
Wednesday, 26 September 2012
Hey Lovelies!
I've been thinking a lot recently about how I haven't really used much of highstreet makeup products for a couple of years. It's not because I'm snobby or that I will only put something that costs more than £20 on my face (...that doesn't sound quite right, but moving on). If you knew me personally you'd know I'm much closer to slob than snob!
It's basically because I think that for the most part you get what you pay for, and I save up for things that I really want. Honestly makeup is just about all that I spend my money on. If you've seen any of my 'outfit of the day' posts, more often than not I'm wearing H&M or Primark, and I don't shop for clothes, accessories or shoes very often. I am probably the only living female that could care less about shoes. My one pair of black heels that I wear out all of the time were £20 from New Look and I've had them for almost 4 years! I barely look after my hair either. So anyway that's why most of my makeup posts are about MAC, or my favourite Chanel.
I thought it was about time that I really started to look for the hidden gems in the highstreet, because I know that there is some! I read plenty of blog posts about highstreet products that people love, and I see them in use by beauty youtubers, so I trust that they are good!

MAC Eyeshadow - Woodwinked
Monday, 24 September 2012
Hello Lovelies!
This is my second MAC eyeshadow post, but I promise I will get through them all eventually! This colour is from my neutrals palette, and it's one of my all time favourite eyeshadows!
Woodwinked was the first ever MAC eyeshadow I purchased along with Naked Lunch (which there will be a post on soon!). I bought them individually packaged at first until I decided to get a palette.
I've already significantly hit pan in this eyeshadow and it's my second one of these - that's how much I love it! It is the most gorgeous deep golden bronze. I love it as a crease colour when I'm going for a lighter eye look. But it's beautiful as a lid colour for a more dramatic smoky eye.

MAC Powder Blush - Frankly Scarlet
Sunday, 23 September 2012
Hello Lovelies!
I own one of the MAC 6 blush palettes so I thought I would go through all the colours I have, similar to how I'm eventually going to work through my two MAC 15 eyeshadow palettes. I only have 5 blushes from MAC at the moment, but really that's only because I can't decide which colour I want to be my 6th!
Frankly Scarlet is one of my favourite blushes. It looks a little bit scary in the pan as it's bright red. A little bit of this goes a long way as it's highly pigmented, so a bonus is that it'll last for ages!

MAC Eyeshadow - Expensive Pink
Tuesday, 14 August 2012
Hey Lovelies!
I thought I would start to do posts on all of my MAC eyeshadows, because I have a lot of them! I own two of the 15 pro-palettes, one of which has neutrals and the other has bright and dramatic colours. I also have the 6 pro-blush palette which currently has 5 blushes in it, so I'll probably get to doing posts about them too at some point!
Any way on to the first colour! I decided to start with Expensive Pink as it is definitely one of my all time favourite colours (and it's from the colour palette, by the way!). It is the most gorgeous mid-tone warm pink, with gorgeous gold pearl - almost a rose gold I would say, so I wonder why I love it?! *note sarcasm as I'm completely obsessed with rose gold!

MAC Tinted Lipglass - Pink Lemonade
Sunday, 12 August 2012
Hello Lovelies!
I bought this lipgloss about a month ago now, and I have to say that I've been loving it! I was first introduced to the shade through watching Ingrid, or Miss Glamorazzi's youtube channel. She featured this lipgloss a few times and it was in a favourites video too a while back.
