FOTD and NOTD

Well i havent done one of these in what feels like years, so since ive almost finished packing and i needed to apply some slap to head into town, i figured id photo it! Once again apologies for lack of posts recently...packing takes up all my time!

Oh and I had my hair trimmed the other day so its slightly shorter, not that youll really notice!

On my face im wearing...
Bourjoirs 10 hour sleep effect foundation in Rose Clair
Elfs Complexion Perfection
Mememe poppy tint
Urban Decays blush in Quickie (love this!)
Elfs golden bronzer over the top! Not that you can see any of my blush or highlight as the daylight has drowned me out!!

Eyes just kept simple!
Urban decay primer potion
Macs smoke and mirroes palette, spell no.9 all ove the lid and deception in the crease
Loreal Super Liner Carbon Gloss eyeliner for a double wing (but you cant see it in any of the pics!)
Rimmels curve effect mascara!

Lips originally i had Prestige lipliner in silk all over and then h&m lipgloss in Pink Dreams, which i LOVE and highly recommend for 99p!!
Then i applied Rimmels Tell No One all over for a brighter lip!

My nails are an OLD no7 colour, its a gorgeous goldy pink duochrome effect, i love wearing it and im nearly out!!

Wearing a simple dress from topshop, youve probably seen it before! with tights, leopard pumps and a leather jacket!

I went to town to go and get some topshop make up...it had "make up in store" on the window, but i got in, and nowhere could it be seen!! i was about to ask the assistant after about 10 mins wandering round this pretty massive topshop...and there i spied on top of the retro sweets bit...a line of nail polishes and on the other side a row of ugly lipglosses!!! SO NOT IMPRESSED!!! what a let down! So i shall have to wait to get some topshop make up when i move to portsmouth in two weeks! God damn aberdeens shitty stores!!

So i came away with these cute earrings instead! For £4 i couldnt say no!!

Anyway...hope you are having a lovely day! :)

OOTD & FOTD...

Today i decided to go charity shop shopping...On a very rainy grey day i thought it would be perfect for finding little gems...It wasnt. I found nothing. Despite going into about 10 shops! Perhaps i need to broaden my mind as to what to buy.

Anyway...this is how i looked...please excuse my dressing gown! I wear this to do my make up and it needs washed every week because i end up wiping my brushes on it!








Also excuse the big star on my head in the outfit pic! Camera faux pas!

Ciao for now :)

Face and Outfit of the Day!

Today is my day off, so i am spending it sewing, knitting and shopping! My ideal day! Despite spending most of the day indoors, i nipped out to Boots to get some hair dye, therefore i put my face on and put a nice dress on. Its raining outside, which is common here, so i like to own floral/tea dresses to brighten up my days!

Clinique dramtically different moisturizing gel.
Mac Studio Sculpt Foundation in NW20 mixed with Revlon colourstay foundation in buff.
Elfs Complextion Perfection.

Eyes
Urban Decay Primer Potion. Barry M dazzle dust in 39. Mac Satin Taupe in crease. Mac shroom as highlight. Mac Mascara X in Black X. Mac Penultimate eyeliner in RapidBlack. Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero.

Cheeks

Lips

A lot of these products i use everyday, some are one offs! I am going quite natural today, no particular reason why!



My dress is a fairly recent purchase from Topshop. It is a floral tea dress, This style of dress is my favourite and most flattering for my shape. I teamed it with a black bow necklace which you probably cant make out from this pic. Black tights, but navy also looks good! Some boots i got from primark a year ago, i love them! And a brown leather jacket from River Island!
