Shopping Trip

Went to my local shopping centre to do a bit of retail therapy. Only got to a few shops but seen tons of clothes i could've bought. This lottery win needs to happen asap! Anywho here's what i picked up:

Sesame Street Top and Star Shorts Pyjama Set - Primark
Leopard Print and Roses Knot Top - Primark
Grey Jogging Bottoms - H&M
Beige Mac - Vero Moda
Silver Bracelets - Market Stall
Black Jeans - H&M
Suede Shorts - H&M
British Flag Sweater - Primark
Cream and Black Cardigans - H&M

• The suede shorts from H&M were too nice to pass up. They feel lovely and can be worn all seasons; with brown tights or leggings in the winter then bare legs in the summer. They will go perfectly with a pair of leopard print wedges i have!
• I am such an Anglophile i can never resist anything to do with Britain or London and this sweater i found in the mens section of Primark is a mix of both. The union flag filled in with images of London landmarks. Really like the neutral colours.
• Been looking for a cream cardigan for ages that was the right shade and size and today i finally found it in H&M. I liked it so much i picked it up in black too. I rely on cardigans during the spring for that little bit of cover when it's still a bit chilly but not cold enough for a jacket.
• As much as i love clothes and fashion i can be a right slob at home and like a lot of girls i love lazing around with my hair in a bun, no make up on wearing a sweater and jogging bottoms. These are a lovely grey colour but the photo doesn't really do them justice. I got these from the boy's section at H&M. I'm a size 10 and i have quite wide hips, these are age 14+ and fit perfectly. They are also cheaper than the adult section as these were only £5.99. I know where i'm going for my joggers from now on!

• I am praying for the warm weather to come soon so i've already started buying clothes for summer. Picked this lovely floaty knot top from Primark for a fiver. The colours are lovely and when i tried it on at home i realised that when paired with black jeans the black and pink in the top really stand out and when paired with creams and beiges the browns and creams in the top come through and make for a subtle outfit. You would honestly think i had a different top on.
• The black jeans peeking out from the top are from H&M. They have a lovely wet look to them and are super flattering. Don't have a pair like them so they'll sit well in my forever growing jeans collection.

• Time for my novelty purchase. I always go for wacky/fun pyjamas and this sesame street pyjama set from Primark tick all the boxes. Childhood, colourful, fun it's all there.

• Got these two silver bracelets from the market. I am obsessed with roses so i was sold on that bracelet straight away and when i seen the deal of two for £10 i searched for another one to go with it and found the butterfly bracelet.

•  Now for my super duper bargain. I've been meaning to get a mac for so long now and when i seen this one in Vero Moda on sale for £12 i couldn't say no. It fits just right and is good for when the weather starts getting a bit milder. Vero Moda do some amazing deals/sales so if you have one near you it's good to pop in every now and then.

• Serious pick of me haha. Please excuse my awful ghost face. Tried out some of the eyeshadows from the Bobbi Brown Nude Palette i got. The colours are lovely and there's a good mix of shimmers and mattes meaning you can create a lot of different looks. Might do a proper post on it soon. 

Hope you all have a lovely weekend :)

No Such Thing As Too Many Nudes

I have a confession to make. I love nudes. Before you think i've gone loopy let me explain. I can't remember never not being interested in make up. From a little girl i've always enjoyed trying out my mum's cosmetics and as i've gotten older purchasing products. I own an array of lipsticks, foundations, blushers, mascaras, eye liners and eye shadows. I especially love palettes and i'm a sucker for nude palettes. You know the ones that contain creamy caramels, delectable dark browns and all the irresistible hues inbetween; like a chocolate box for the face. When i heard of the new Bobbi Brown collection my ears pricked up in excitement and when i saw the Ultra Nude Eye Palette it was love at first sight.

As fate would have it my mum had on the shopping channel QVC, always a bad for our wallets, when up popped the palette. I was sold there and then and the icing on top of the cake, or should that be ribbon on top of the chocolate box, was there was three easy payments of £13. Sold.

Do i need the palette? To the untrained eye the answer would be no.

However brown comes in so many different shades and undertones that every palette differs. And the crazy thing is all of these are constantly being used depending on if i want matte or shiny, natural or dramatic looks.

The 'Bobbi' palette isn't the only palette I've lusted after. You may have read my previous post about Kat Von D's 'Saint' palette and here's some others I've obsessed over at one time or another.

So as you can see i have a slight obsession with brown and cream eyeshadows. What beauty product takes up the biggest percentage of your collection? 

A Quest For True Romance.

So i've had a little girl crush on Kat Von D for quite while now. I just love her style, attitude and her artistry. One thing i always noticed about Kat is her amazing make up (especially her eyeshadow) so when i found out she had a make up line i jumped for joy until i realised it's, as far as i'm aware, only sold in America. Since then i have been on a quest to find her True Romance Eyeshadow Palettes.

I love all of the palettes and think they have a fab range of colours but if i had to choose one i'd play it safe and get the 'Saint' palette as i always wear neutrals. Though i think the limited edition 'Mi Vida Loca' palette is amazing.

The only place where it seems i can get a hold of these palettes is Ebay but i am so wary of buying from there and the prices are way higher than the original price of $36; i've seen some being sold for £40+. If anyone knows of any good sellers or websites that do ship to the UK then please let me know! I'll be forever in your debt.
