Blow it!
Great pair of shoes for all four seasons! Can be worn with jeans or leggings and a summery dress and frilly socks! I chose to spend the extra £10 on the leather rather than canvas for obvious reasons. The material is a lot more durable for the winter months i.e. Rain! Also, the material is easier to clean! Give them a quick wipe and back to new. I used to wear vans years and years ago, so definitely a must have!
Estée Lauder Double wear foundation in 'Cool Bone', £28. I usually would never spend this much lonely on a single item of makeup but for one time I've made an exception. Over the next year there are events that make this foundation a necessity! (I'm a bridesmaid being one event) I haven't yet wore the foundation, but after having a professional skin test in Debenhams, I know it's for me! I'll be reporting back soon!
With the purchase of the Double wear foundation, I was given this as a free gift! Needless to say I was a very happy lady! Again, I haven't tried the product on my face but I'm so very excited to do so!
MAC Pressed Pigment Eye shadow, 'Blonde Streak' £17.
MAC Satin Lipstick, 'Snob' £15.
I've heard so many reviews on MAC eyeshadow, all good! The reviews were correct, it's gorgeous! So easy to apply, and it doesn't take a lot to cover the entire lid. I've wanted a natural base colour with a hint of glam for a while and I've finally found it.
Again, hearing so many good things about MAC's range of lip wear made me think 'how can I resist?' My friend Zeedee was bought this shade for her birthday and it has become her best friend so I thought I'd follow suit! The colour is pastel pink, perfect for the day as a splash of colour to a natural look and even better for nightwear paired with the Pressed Pigment shadow collection and khol eyes!
I'm 20 in little over a month and I've only just plucked up the courage to have my ears pierced (bearing in mind I've sat through a 2 1/2 hour tattoo) They're healed now and I'm obsessed with buying earrings, including the necessity- hoops. With me, I've found hoops have to be big and in your face. Any smaller and I look like a chavette. Hopefully I don't rip them out of my ears due to relentlessly playing with my hair.
I'm going to a wedding on Saturday and I've been trying to very hard to find plain gold effect, chunky bangles. After looking at Topshop and River Island, I decided paying £18 for a bracelet was too much, so I went to Primark: another mistake. £2 was just as bad and would undoubtedly leave me a green-wristed monster. New look was my savour- cheap and cheerful, but also expensive looking and non-tacky. Cheers! *raises hand and jingles from new bracelet*
Ask any of my friends, I'm obsessed with kimonos! I just find them so versatile, you can wear them with literally anything! I chose this for a wedding I'm going to on Saturday to add some colour to the apparently 'controversial' white dress I'm wearing. The material feels so expensive, Ted Baker almost, and such a bargain! I usually find it difficult finding things in Next as a lot of their stock isn't to my taste, but this was a pleasant surprise. Well done Next!
River Island, children's range, £15.
I've been searching for a pastel bag for (again) a wedding on Saturday and I've been incredibly unlucky! That was until my mum decided on looking in the children's section at River Island. This bag is the perfect size (clutch size) so it's able to stay on the table whilst at the wedding breakfast and easy to dance with! The colours are perfectly pretty too and so summery!
I'm not a heel girl, every one knows I struggle to walk in them. However, these are so easy! Ronnie tells me the platform helps, and again she's right! The colour is so pretty and perfect! I managed to get £10 knocked off the original price as the shoes were marked (only a little tehe) it just goes to show I'm a good at bartering! I definitely saved the best until last here.
So there we have it! Now as I travel back to uni I realise just how broke I am...but it's for a good cause.
