MAC - The Matte Lip Collection - Stone

Firstly, please excuse the ultra filtered photo of my face, secondly welcome back to my blog! I think I'm slowly coming to terms with the fact that no matter how much I promise I will post more regularly I'm just not organised enough to actually follow through with it but hey, I'm trying!
However, I am back today with a post and its a very exciting one indeed, well for me, you probably don't care but just look at the pretty lipstick oooh.
Yes, I have been to MAC (again) and this time I treated myself to the new matte lipstick in stone. Stone has been released in the new MAC matte lip collection and is described as a 'muted greyish taupe brown' on the website, muted is definitely the key word here while the idea of a true brown grey lipstick sounds totally unwearable, the matte formula and muted colours make this actually a really pretty and flattering lip colour I've been wearing this a lot lately and feel it makes the perfect alternative to the ever popular 'berry lip' that does the rounds this time of year.
I will definitely be investing in more of these new matte releases as it is truly the only formula I like in lipsticks!
Although stone lipstick is out of stock on the website atm stone lipliner is a good alternative and is currently in stock (and cheaper) Win!

My Sunglasses Collection

Hi everyone,
I thought I would share with you some snaps of my sunglasses collection, it's a slightly modest collection but I feel really happy with all of them and feel like I have a good variety - cat eye, round frame, aviators and wayfarer.
All of my glasses are budget/high street buys. I've yet to drop some cash on an expensive pair, I think it would take a really classic, to-die-for pair to change that.
There are so many cool, interesting styles in the high street stores these days I don't actually think you necessarily need to splash the cash on designer glasses, for the price of some of these glasses you could buy a different pair for every outfit you own!

Quick review // GOSH Velvet touch lip pencil in flirty Orange

GOSH velvet touch pencil in flirty orange on offer £2.99 @ Superdrug here

Hello everyone!

Today I'm back with a post about one of the most exciting pharmacy releases in ages - The Gosh velvet touch lipliners are seriously good.

Flirty orange is a bright, punchy true orange colour as soon as I saw it I knew it was a totally 'me' shade, I find orange a really flattering shade for my skin tone and I am a massive fan of any kind of bold/ statement lip and I must say this one definitely delivers in that department.

Along with the impressive shade selection which includes some nudes a rosy pink and a obligatory red, the formula of these pencils is really, really awesome - the pencil it self is surprisingly soft and creamy to apply, totally matte, super pigmented and whilst they are slightly drying on the lips they aren't uncomfortable in my opinion and in terms of lasting power these really don't budge on a normal day of 

I have tried a few different lip pencils from other brands including MAC and I would choose these pencils over some of their offerings every time, especially as they are like a 3rd of the price of MAC pencils!

Do excuse my beyond bushy brows here!

My favourite way to wear this shade is with a minimal makeup look a bit of bronzer a strong brow and let the lips be the main focus. If you haven't tried these I would definitely recommend you give them a go!
