ADYN, MOM & MILEY

What's new? I've done some retail damage. Exactly - What's new?

Blue Tee // ZARA , MOM Jeans // TopShop , Black Jersey // ADYN

Anyone who know me even just a little bit will know that I am a self confessed shopaholic. Therefore it shouldn't come as a shock that I've got a few new things to show you. There are some more laying about but I thought I'd start with these. A bright blue ZARA T-shirt in the very popular baseball/sports style, the much talked about MOM Jeans from Top Shop, and *drumroll please* a long, black, neoprene T-shirt from ADYN that I am absolutely in love with. Finding that is all thanks to my good friend Ben who introduced me to ADYN in the first place and rocks the same T-shirt. As it is pretty massive on me (menswear) I've been wearing it as a dress which to be fair it could easily have been sold as because it works so well. I also revealed a bit of my love for Miley (not loving all her madness but I think she's pretty cool) and bought the newest issue of LOVE magazine where she's featured.

Hope you enjoyed this little mini haul post. Give me a shout if there's anything you'd like me to post about in the future and I'll make sure to get round to it. Also, feel free to leave your bloglink if you have a blog as I am always on the lookout for new ones to read and follow.

England Picks

Once again I bring you a little beauty haul from the shops of London, Manchester and Leeds. Not quite as much was brought back this time compared to my last visit in October, but I figured it was enough to make a post out of it. Let's jump into it then, shall we?

FACE:

Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation in Nude // Maybeline Dream Fresh BB Cream in Light // Revlon Photoready Eye Primer and Brightener in 003

Topshop Cream Highlighter Quad in Kick Start // Revlon Photoready Cream Blush in Pinched

EYES

Maybeline The Rocket Mascara (waterproof) // Rimmel Scandaleyes Eye Shadow Stick in Bulletproof Beige // Maybeline Master Smokey Shadow-Pencil in Smoky Chocolate // Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Khol Kajal in Nude

LIPS

Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain + Balm in Flame // Rimmel Apocalips in Stellar // TopShop Lip Paint in Yeah Right (review here) // Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Rendezvous

And that was that! It has definitely created a little bit more of a spring/summer mood over my makeup collection, just the way I like it. Most of the products are ones I have been eager to try for quite some time now so I am glad to finally be in possession of them! If there are any particular products out of the ones above that you want me to do a review on then let me know either here or on twitter (which I am using far more now a days!) And if you are interested in me making videos as well as writing reviews then let me know about that as well as I am very eager to try and do some YouTubing in the nearest future!

I hope you are all doing very well, and I wish you a happy easter!

I am going away (again) for a few days, but expect a new post to be up on Wednesday:)

Lots of Love,

Back in business

Okay, so it is officially time to get back into business with my blogging. The lack of updates lately is frankly embarrassing, so what better way to come back than with a big, red boom - or maybe I should say pout?

As you may know, I went to England for a week last week, and as always when I travel - I picked up a few bits and pieces. One of them being the TopShop Lip Paint in Yeah Right. This has to be one of the most opaque orange toned red lip products I have tried! I suspect it is fairly similar to the YSL Glossy Stains (I believe that is what they are called) and the new L'oréal GlamShine Stain Splash, and I know that it has a very similar consistensy, finish and lasting power as the Rimmel Apocalips. In other words, for those of you who have not tried any of the products I just mentioned (such as me before I went to England...a little late on the bandwagon you say?) then I will jot down their magical powers for you.

The Lip Paint has a very smooth, non-sticky consistency, it is extremely vibrant and stains your lips so that the colour appears very true to what you see in the tube (so be careful when applying it - and if you make a mistake clean it up immediately as it will stain your skin otherwise..). As for the finish, it is in fact quite glossy, but not as in the sticky glossy look you often get from lip glosses (you may get the hunch that I don't like lip glosses...and well, I don't ) but rather a slight "wet-looking" sheen. Gorgeous I think. However, the best is yet to come. After a while (30 min-1 hr) the finish starts to turn matte, and you are left with vibrantly stained lips that stay stained for hours! Eat, drink, talk - whatever, once this sets it does not budge! I wore it yesterday at a 40th birthday party and only had to top it up with a quick new layer after the dinner and by then I had been wearing it for a good 3-4 hours already and it was only fading in the center. I am impressed by this beauty and as for TopShop's makeup - Je T'aime!

Pick it up for £10 at TopShop. They do not stock this colour online at the moment, but they do have it in a gorgeous orange called Low Down.

And a quick tip: Scrub your lips and apply a little lip balm before you apply your lip colour to avoid it sticking to any flakey or dry bits! The Lush Lip Scrub's are brilliant for that, and they are even edible so you can just lick it off afterwards! I have it in Bubblegum. Pick it up online or in a Lush store for £5.25.

I wish you all a happy and relaxing Sunday!

Summer Dreams

Blog, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Weheartit, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest.. Where and when will my addiction end? Apparently not there and not now. My good friend (and blogger) Amalie introduced me to Polyvore yesterday - damn you for giving me another reason not to socialize...Anyways, after starting about ten different sets/collages, I finally managed to stay focused on finishing one (there's constantly new items popping up that you want to use in a new set which makes it hard to only create one...) and it is definitely reflecting my longing for summer! But as a beauty/fashion blogger I thought I could be fun to share, and if any of you lovelies would fancy following my polyvore profile to see all my future sets, then just click the link below :)
