FOTE/OOTE: Good Friday

I realise this is slightly late, but hey ho its here anyway. On Good Friday a huge bunch of us went out for the night as we do every year. Heres how I did my makeup and what I wore (Please excuse my hair!)...

 Face:
L'Oreal Studio Secrets Resurfacing Primer

Jemma Kidd Light as Air Foundation 02 Light

Collection Lasting Perfection Conceler 01 Fair

Nars Laguna Bronzer

Nars Orgasm Blusher

Jemma Kidd Dewy Glow All Over Radiance Creme Iced Gold

MAC Fix +

Eyes:

MAC Vintage Selection Paintpot

Urban Decay Virgin (inner half)

Urban Decay Toasted (outer half)

Urban Decay Hustle (Through crease)

MAC Beauty Marked (Outer V)

Maybelliene Gel Liner

Bourjois The Volumizer Mascara

Lips:

Carmex Lip Balm

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick Nude Delight

MAC Baby Sparks Dazzleglass

The dress I wore is from Topshop, Im not too sure if they sell it anymore but I absolutely loooove it! It is extremely short, way more than I would usually go but I feel it doesnt look too slutty because of the higher neckline, maybe? I just paired it with black wedges and a black bag, I think any other accessories would have been a bit too much for one outfit.

Lustlist #19

After the few days of summer weather we had in the UK last week, it had me lusting after a new summer wardrobe for my holidays, as well as for the summer here (fingers crossed its a good one this year). However Im currently sat in my room, its snowing outside and a tile jsut flew off my roof. So the tan lines I achieved last week are fading by the second. The things Im lusting after may just have to wait for the Ibiza sun!

I didnt even realise how many things Ive been loving have been corally colours, but clearly thats what Ive been drawn to recently!

All links are in the item descriptions.

Flossy Flat Sandals with T-Bar - ASOS - £18

MOTO Coral Hotpants - Topshop - £22

Pellar Lace Waistband Skater Dress - Missguided - £25.99

Fringe Bikini - Miss Selfridge - £26

Coral Textured Skater Dress - River Island - £25

I cant wait to be wearing bright summery clothes after the little taster of it last week. Just need this snow to go away now!

Lustlist...#18

I havent actually done a lustlist post since JULY. So thought it was high time I did a new one as theres a lot of things Ive got my eye on but cant get yet because of my spending ban. Ive only put a few of my very favourites here, the list is extensive of all the stuff I want but dont really need. If anyone fancies buying me any of these the feel free (hint hint David, Valentines Day is in a few days!)

Click names for links!

Cut Out Maxi Dress - Miss Selfridge - £25

The only maxi dress I own is cream with a massive floral print, really only holiday appropriate. I think this black one is stunning and its really affordable too which suprised me.

Tribal High Waisted Denim Shorts - Miss Selfridge - £32

These would be perfect for Ibiza, Im thinking ahead to summer already, cannot wait! I never wear high waisted anything but I could make an exception for these.

Topshop Nails in Adrenline - Topshop - £6.00

Im just continuing my obsession with glitter nail polish. This one looks quite unique as it has smaller and bigger glitter bits. Oh, and its pink and very, very pretty!

Red Open Back Bodycon Dress - Miss Selfridge - £37

I think this is a very classic, timeless dress. Me and David are having our Valentines in a few weeks insted of Tuesday when were going to Manchester for a few days, this would be perfect to wear for a lovely meal out. I love red dresses but only have one and think this would be the perfect addition to my wardrobe.

Mint Pussybow Blouse - Miss Selfridge - £35

I want to add more blouses to my wardorbe as I only have two and really think theyre flattering and would like more. The colour of this one is gorgeous, I need it!

Nars Wicked Attraction - Asos - £35

I think this set is fantastic value for money and Id love to recieve it as a gift but doubt Ill buy it myself as I need to keep to my non make-up buying ban. It contains an eyeshadow in Fathom, a blush/bronzer duo in Orgasm/Laguna, an eyeshadow primer and a lipgloss in Spring Break. The more I write about it te more I want it!

Mickey Mouse Tie Front Vest - Miss Selfridge - £22

Im a massive Disney freak and love printed t-shirts for summer and feel this is a cool, liadbck way of incorporating my Disney obsession into my clothes without looking to childish.

Topshop Makeup: Ltd Edition...Sandstorm

Now Im not exactly experienced in the field of Topshop cosmetics...I have only been as far as swwatching every product all over my hands until I end up getting stuff everywhere. But by the looks of things they look to be decent quality and I can see myself buying one or two things in the near future.

Just recently the new limited edition collection came out for SS/11. Topshop say the collection is influenced by the "Burning Man" festival in the Nevada Desert. Its meant to conjure up images of sunsets and festival costumes. Heres a few items Ive got my beedy eye on.

 
Eyeshadow Mousse in Glint
£8.00
This seems to be the Topshop version of a MAC Paintpot/ Benefit Creaseless Cream, which I looove. ts cheaper so its worth a try right?



Creme Lipcolour in Tawny
£7.50
This looks to be a very creamy lipgloss, like a Cremesheen Glass, just what I like in a gloss, and its a pretty colour, They do  pretty baby pink too but I have too many of them already and I end up looking like Barbie gone wrong in that colour!



Nail Duo in Zealous
£9.00
This seems like a really good deal to me, and I could see myself usig them together, with one or the other on the tips with the other over the rest of the nails, a proper holiday in the sun combo.

There was a blush/bronzer duo that looked pretty too but it just isnt on the website yet =/ hmm.

What do you guys think of this new collection? Its really got me lokin forward to the summer.

Theres Nothing Worse Than...

- Being outbid on a bargainous £3.50 Topshop dress on ebay, right at the end!

- Seeing someone in a club who you hated years ago, and it all kicks off again, arguments, the lot.

- College presentations, ergh!

- Finding a must have item on miss selfridges website, it becoming sold out within 2 days of it appearing in the "new in" section, and now it being completely gone all together, not a trace that it was ever even in existance, actually gutted.

- Going to do a bit of stocking up on the lush website and finding its down becuase of hackers ruining all of our lush online goodness. Evil.

Sorry for the rant, you girls understand how frustrating some of these small problems can be sometimes.

Belated Christmas Gifts: Clothes etc

This is my second Christmas gifts post. When I read over my last one I realised I forgot to put in a picture of the fragrances I got, so they were; Alien by Theirry Mugler and Ghost Sweetheart. I also got a huge bottle fo Lush's Snow Fairy which Im excited to use. I also got two Yankee Candles in Christmas Treats (my favourite) and Christmas magic which Im currently burning. Anyway on with my other stuff...

I was lucky in the book department, I will be reading forever! Alan Sugars autobiography may seem odd, but I think hes amazing, wierd as this may be haha my friends think Im mad.

This photo turned out a bit crap, I probably should have tried them on to show you. Apologies for my boyfriends scruffy unmade bed, I probably should have made the effort. The purple velvet dress is from Miss Selfridge, and it was in a lust list I did just before Christmas, my boyfriend told me to go out and get it as one of my Christmas presents :D. I also chose the shirt myself from Primark for £14, and I absolutely love it. To me it looks more Topshop than Primark and it goes with anything, I wore it with leggins one day and then with velvet shorts for a night out as well.

Another unflattering photo, it looks much better on! I picked both of these out myself, the coat is from Toshop for £80 and I absoltuely love it! I pair it with this snood which I thought was a bargain at £4 in Primark. I feel so cosy in this coat, much better than my old one.

Again I picked these out for myself, my family are a bit scared of suprising me clothing wise for whatever reason, Ive never complained about anything Ive been given in the past. So I got these gorgeous boots from River Island for £45, Im in love with them and Im wearing them practically every day. The bag is from ASOS and was £12, it compliments my shoes nicely I think.

Lastly I got these pairs of shoes as a suprise. Theyre both from Miss Selfridge and I love them both, the heels are rather hard to walk in but as if thats ever bothered me!

The End!
