New In: Blue Suede Shoes

Hello!

I bought these heels about 2 weeks ago and I've been in two minds about them ever since. Obviously, I liked them once which was why I bought them, but after a while I felt they made my feet look funny. So, I decided I was going to return them. But on the day I was going to return them I thought I'd try them on one last time and guess what? They looked amazing! I don't know if it was because they knew I wanted to return them or something but they stepped their game up and I love them again hahaa.

By the way, some of you who follow my sister may remember her posting them, but I'd just like to say I saw them first, I bought them first and she copied me! :)

OOTD | Lunch date

Happy August everyone!

I can't believe how fast time has gone! We're in the heart of summer and it's grey, cold and wet outside :(
However, a couple of weeks ago we were lucky enough to have a few days of good weather and I'd like to share with you what I wore to meet up with a couple of friends I hadn't seen in a while.
We went to Wagamama which is a Japanese restaurant. It was my first time going there and I really enjoyed it. We all found it very interesting that it was a Japanese restaurant and none of the people who worked there were Japanese, hmmm...

Anyway! :)

Maybe it's Maybelline!

Hello all!
Mascara is a must have item in my makeup bag. I love how it makes my eyes pop, such a small amount makes a big difference. I've gone through many over the years and currently my favourite is Maybelline. So, I'm going to share with you the two that I've fallen in love with and one that I've just started using.

Colossal Volum' Express

This was the first Maybelline mascara I bought and by far my favourite out of the three. I love that it's waterproof that's a must in whatever mascara I buy, you never know what you might come across during the day. I also love the size and shape of the brush, I found it very easy to use against my eyelashes. I've purchased this mascara twice and I will most definitely buy it again. I have semi-long lashes anyway and this mascara accentuates them as well as making them look fuller. After a while it does get a bit clumpy but it's usually around the time you're supposed to change it anway so it's understandable.

Colossal Volum' Express Cat Eyes

My second Maybelline mascara and another favourite. For me, it does what it says on the tin, it gives my eyelashes a cat-like look, while making my lashes look longer. The shape of the wand helps enormously with this and again is very easy to use. Unfortunately, it isn't waterproof but while using it I didn't have any problems with it running. And a plus to that it was very easy to remove.

The Falsies Volum' Express

This is the mascara I'm currently using and I haven't used it that long so this is a two week review. Firstly, it's waterproof which is great. However, I'm not a fan of the shape of the wand, it is similar to that of the cat eyes mascara but it's a lot thicker (that's not shown well in the photo, apologies). Again, I have just started using it but I find it very awkward to use. Maybe with time I'll be able to perfect it and I'll try to update this.

 

 

What is your favourite mascara and is there any you think I should try? Let me know! xo

New York Color & Flushed by Sleek

Hey guys :)

So I bought a few things recently that I wanted to show you. They're nothing special but I just wanted to share them with you.

I'm sure you've all heard of BritPopPrincess aka Patricia the YouTube guru. Well, on her recent makeup tutorial she used a blush by Sleek called Flushed. When I saw it on her I fell in love. It's a lovely matte red and compliments her skin tone very well, which is what made me want to buy it because we're a similar skin tone.

Also, my sister bought a couple of nail polishes by NYC a few weeks ago and I loved them, so I decided to buy my own. They have so many colours and for a very decent price. As shown in my recent NOTD I've developed a love for pastel colours which persuaded me to choose these colours.

Lincoln Square Lavender & Prospect Park Pink - £1.79 each

Flushed by Sleek - £4.49

Also, the UK is finally enjoying some lovely weather! It's sunny and hot so hopefully I'll have some OOTD's to show you :) xo

The Olympic Torch in Hackney!

Greetings :)
This is a quick post to let you know that my sisters and I were lucky enough to see the Olympic Torch relay go through Hackney yesterday (21/07/2012). It was a really surreal experience, definitely a once in a lifetime one. The last time the Olympics was in London was more than 70 years ago!
There was a point where I was literally running next to the man hoding the Torch. I tried to take a picture, but that didn't work out...

This was the only decent picture I took, but honestly I was just really happy to be there.

Unfortunately none of us have tickets, but one of my sisters was lucky enough to win a raffle and was given a ticket to see the opening ceremony on friday (27/07/2012). We'll all be there with her in spirit!

Like I said this is a quick post, so hope you're all enjoying your weekend! xo
