Daily Lust - Friday 19th February

Hello everyone,

Just finished watching Eastenders, not overly impressed I have to say!! Anyway here are the items I am lusting after...

Beauty Product:





I watched a video by FilthyGorgeousMakeup on Youtube where she recommended these Rimmel Colour Rush Metallic Shadows. She used the one in Tribute which is such a gorgeous colour I want it now!! You can get it at Superdrug or Boots for about £4!




Here's the link to the video:

Item of Clothing:


It is getting to that time of the year where I realise that I cannot keep wearing my winter coat for much longer. But yes, I think this beauty from good old New Look would be the perfect spring/summer fix. And at £35 I don't think it's too bad! I love the full skirt and the ruched sleeves!!

Accessory/Jewellery:




I love this bag. I think it looks really vintage and worn and could be used for any occasion to just give a ' This is from a charity shop - but isn't it amazing?' look to any outfit. If you want it, it's from Topshop for £35!

Shoe:

I think these shoes are amazing! They would look so great with skinny jeans or jeggings tucked in or with summer dresses to give them an edgy look. These are from Marks and Spencers for £39.50 and are definitely worth getting as they are bang on trend!

Total Cost = £113.50

Ooh I spent a lot of imaginary money there!

Have lovely Saturdays... I'm going out to buy prizes for my up-and-coming giveaway and also probably will treat myself too!

See you soon

So So Tired!!

Hi Guys,

Looks like this week has really worn me out... I was just about to do a Daily Lust post and must have nodded off only to be awoken 2 hours later and it be half 11! So sorry guys, will definitely make it up by posting loads and loads over the weekend!!

Enjoy your Fridays, love you all lots,

Maybelline Eye Studio Mono - No 720 Iced Fudge

Hello again!

There is no actual picture that I can put on here so follow this link to see the colour!

http://www.maybelline.co.uk/PRODUCTS/Eyes/EYE_SHADOW/Eyestudio_monos.aspx

I wasn't sure about this eyeshadow at first but I did love the look of the colour. I wasn't sure how pigmented it is but I tried it out yesterday and it was really pigmented and lovely... and stayed on all day with the help of my Gosh Eyeshadow Stick. It is a sort of taupe/brown with a hint of metallic in it. It is great for daywear but I think it would also look great in the crease of the eye for a smokey look.

This costs £3.99 and I would definitely recommend it!

Review - Sleek Storm Palette

Another Sleek product for you!!

( pic from loveafrocosmetics.com)

What an amazing product... I don't know anyone who doesn't like this. It is so wearable... probably the most wearable palette of all of the Sleek palettes. I love the brown colours in this and the greyish/blue colour is so gorgeous too. This is a really versatile palette that could be worn in the daytime for a work or school neutral look and also for a gorgeous smokey eyed night look! This is one palette you could take with you on a week away on holiday and have a different look every day and night. All this for just over £4! How Perfect!

Review - Sleek Inkpots

Hi again,

Some more reviews for you now!!

(pic from http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/makeup/sleek-ink-pot-gel-eyeliner/)

This is the Sleek Ink Pot which is Sleek's version of a gel eyeliner which comes in loads of colours. I have Espresso (which is black) and Purple Rain (obviously purple).

I am in absolute love with this product. It comes in a little pot as shown above and with the little brush which is really good for applying the eyeliner. I am a complete Gel Eyeliner convert after trying this as it looks fabulous and stays put better than any other eyeliner I have ever tried. It gives just as good definition as a liquid liner but is so much easier to apply. For a new starter to makeup I would definitely recommend this, and you don't get the awful smudging that you do with kohl liner.

I can't say enough good things about this product. I can't remember exactly how much it is... somewhere around £3-£4, and is so so worth it, pick up one in every colour!!

Have you tried this? Do you like it?

Daily Lust - Wednesday 17th February

Hi everyone,

Hope you had a lovely day... I can smell the weekend!! Here is what my diminishing bank balance cannot pay for, but what I would like...

Beauty Product:




I love this whole collection of Nail Polishes by Ciate for asos.com. They are all named after celebrities and this particular cherry red colour is named Katy (I'm guessing after Katy Perry). I love the colour, I love the packaging and I don't think the price is too bad at £6.






Item of Clothing:


I know Topshop are always pretty good but at the moment it seems like I want to buy their entire stock. This beautiful skirt is one thing I picked out. I love the nude background with the stunning black flower detail and think this is such a wearable take on the nude trend. I would probably put this with a denim shirt and wedges to give it a tough edge. At £40 it's quite expensive but in my eyes a perfect summer investment.






Accessory/Jewellery:




I am an absolute sucker for kitsch and cute jewellery and this birdcage necklace is by no means an exception. I love the bird (obviously) and the cage and I also love the pink bow. This would set off a plain and simple daytime outfit and give it a cute edge. Personally I think this would look great with a plain white vest top and a pink boyfriend cardi to give it a bit of oomph. This is from awear.com and costs £10.






Shoe:



I am so in love with these gorgeous shoes. The white lace detail is just amazing and would look great teamed with summer dresses for a girly/preppy look!! They look so beautiful and look like they would cost a lot but they are actually such a bargain at £18 from Topshop!

Total Cost = £74

Thanks guys for reading... also thank you for following and commenting. It makes me very very happy when you do! It's definitely putting a much needed smile on my face over the past few weeks so thank you and love you all lots!
