ADDING COLOUR TO MY WARDROBE

Saturday, 17 May 2014

T-SHIRT: TKMAXX
LEATHER JACKET: DOROTHY PERKINS (OLD)
BAG: H&M
JEANS: PRIMARK
NECKLACE: H&M
SHOES: NEW LOOK

Well, that's a post title none of us thought would make an appearance on this blog. Considering my last outfit post was titled 'all monochrome everything' we have gone on a a huge contrast, but when I wore this outfit I felt very Spring/Summer appropriate, though don't be expecting me to ditch the classic monocrhome wardrobe staples anytime soon.

This heavily printed colourful tee has been an unexpectedly well worn item in my stash, and I think the slightly longer than average white sleeves balance it out completely. It is also waistline skimming too, and sitting just above the lightwash jeans I think it's the perfect combo.

So, that was the second installment of my outfit posts, and it would appear that I'm stepping out of my comfort zone a little..


STILA SMUDGESTICKS REVISITED

Wednesday, 23 April 2014


It's been a while since I have done a full review of a product, and even longer since I have revisited a product and done another review. I forgot about the Stila Smudgestick Liners for a while, and after having a route around in my eye drawer a few weeks ago I rediscovered them and thought they deserved a feature.

The one I rekindled my love for first was the one you see on the far end of the swatches - Angelfish. Its a champagne, slightly lilac-grey toned colour and I love this all over the lid and sheered out along with a slick of liner and lashings of mascara.

Another one which I have been loving smudged along the upper and lower lashline is Oscar Fish, a warm deep brown with coppery shimmer through it which just seems to glow. I seriously love this one.

The final one that I have been enjoying is Moray, a golden olive colour. I actually went a little cray and did a large winged liner look with this one, and it was so easy and quick because this is so creamy, and it didn't budge once set. I had never, ever done coloured liner before this and it's definitely something I want to continue in the future.

I can tell that I will be getting a lot more use out of these in the upcoming weeks, and hopefully for the other two colours aswell (Tetra and Stargazer).

Have you rediscovered an old love recently?

GOSH Nail Polish Collection and Small Review

Thursday, 28 March 2013

Hi everyone! You may have seen that yesterday that I posted my collection of Gosh Soft and Shine Lip Balms, and today I am here to show you my very large collection of GOSH nail polishes. About a year ago, I got slightly addicted to buying nail polish and now I have ended up with a vast amount of polish, 16 of them being just GOSH.
So I will start now!
That's a lot of nail polish. 6 discontinued or limited edition and 10 normal shades.
Oh my Gosh! Haha, nope not funny. Do I see Gosh Holo there?!?
Limited edition/Discontinued Polishes: Im so lucky have a lot of the HTF (hard to find) most wanted polishes!
Left to right: Avantgarde, Magic Star, Rainbow, Holographic (549 Original), Holographic Hero (Relaunch of original) and Spot On! Pink.
Mmm..I do love my colours and pastels!
Left to right: Wild Lilac, Flamingo, Bubblegum, Miss Minty (LOVE IT!), Blue Balloon, Crisp Coral and Peachy.
The formula of GOSH polishes are incredbible, fast drying, easy to apply, and only 2-3 coats needed to reach full opacity. The colour range is great too!

The final 3 polishes.

Left to right: Gold, Silver, Miss Mole. The gold and silver are some of the best metallic polishes I have ever tried. They are such great polishes, and I would recommend these if stamping is something you do regularly and want some simple colours to stamp over everything!

What brand of nail polish is your favourite? I think I have a few favourites, but do you suggest any?
