KIKO Mascara Review

After

 

 

Hey guys, happy friday!

Today's post is something a little different to what I have done in the past as it is going to be a review on the latest mascara that I have purchased, the reason for this is that I was asked to review these latest buys over on my instagram, but the only thing I have got round to using yet is the mascara!

 

So yesterday I went shopping is Cambridge and popped into the KIKO cosmetics shop that they have there and as I usually do, I bought something new to try out. I have tried the nail varnishes/ lipsticks and lip pencils before so I decided it was time to try one of the mascaras. I am usually a Maybelline mascara kinda girl but I thought why not try something new!

 

I usually go for the Maybelline 'colossal volum express cat eyes' mascara (I will add a link below) which has a curved brush and makes my eyelashes look so long and thick. This KIKO 'Unforgettable mascara' does exactly the same, I actually think it is better, it goes on perfectly and the brush is quite fat so it covers every eyelash and makes them look full and long. This was actually in the sale I think for about £3.90 which is about half the price of the Maybelline (which is about £7.99) one yet I find it is so much better and not as clumpy as other ones that I have used before.

 

Overall, I really like this mascara and I will definitely be buying more from kiko in the future, I have so many lipsticks from there its silly so I think this will be the start of a new collection for me!

 

I hope you like this post and if you would like to see more on the nail varnishes/ lipsticks that I have please let me know and I will be happy to review them!

 

See you next time.

My 21st

 

Hey Guys, how is everyone?

So I have been so busy over the past few months planning my 21st birthday party which was James Bond themed! In case you hadn't noticed, I wore a very bold red dress!!

So I had been looking for a dress for a while and I knew I wanted a red dress, so after hours of looking around in shops and online I found the perfect online shop where I got this made, which I highly recommend using if you want any style/ colour dress, they have pretty much every style and can make them in any colour and it will be made especially for you, this is the website- http://www.dylanqueen.co.uk .

 

So the dress I chose was called 'A-Line/Princess High Neck Long Sleeves Applique Floor-length Chiffon Dress' I chose to have it made in 'Red' (obviously) but I didn't really know how it would look because the picture on the site was in silver! This dress is an Ellie Saab dress, but rather than it being in the original silver/grey colour it is red. I love this dress so much, I love how it sparkles in the light, I love the neckline and of course the fact that it is backless. As I have big boobs (its a nightmare) I didn't really know how to go about wearing a bra with this, so in the end I just didn't wear one as the back is so cut out that what ever is worn will be seen which I really didn't want, but it all worked out in the end!!

 

This dress has a small zip below the end of the back so it is easy to put on/ off it also has a little fabric belt like Chiffon ribbon around the waist to add a little shape between the top and lower parts of the dress. With this dress I wore the shoes that I have photos of in my 'DIY Louboutin's' post which looked fab with my dress, but I took them off after about an hour because they killed my feet!

 

If anyone was wondering, the dark red/ purple lipstick I am wearing is 'DIVA' by M.A.C which I only applied once over the whole night as it didn't come off once!!

 

If you have any questions about anything in this post, please leave a comment or email me and I will get back to you asap! As you can see, there are photos of Bella up here too so I have got her to write a little bit about her outfit below, but for now I hope you have enjoyed this post and I will see you next time!!

Hey! Its Bella here, so as Em said, it was her 21st birthday at the weekend and she had a James Bond themed party which was fab and she looked amazing!

 

So the outfit I wore was a monochrome jumpsuit from Quiz that has a very pretty diamante waistband which is so sparkley!! I love the halter neck neck on this jumpsuit and it fits the theme so well as I was going for a 70's Bond vibe.

 

The shoes I wore are from New Look which were really comfy and looked so good with my outfit!!

As Em said, if you have any questions please just leave a comment or email! 

See you next time!

Outfit 5

Hey everyone it's Bella here! I hope you all had a great summer and have got a good tan on! My summer was fab, I went to turkey for two weeks so as Emillie has done, I thought I would show you my top 5 outfits that I wore when I went out in the evenings, I hope you like them.

 
Outfit 1- this outfit was one of my faves! The skirt is from a very cheap shop in Italy, which  Emillie bought last year on holiday, but unfortunately we can't remember the name of the shop. My top is from pretty little thing, it was in the sale, it has slits in the sides and is very comfy. My black sleeveless cardigan is crochet and it from Primark, I find it can go with anything (well most things). Finally, my shoes are actually my mums and they are from Clarks. They are extremely comfy and so pretty.

Outfit 2- My second outfit was one I wanted to save until near the end of my holiday, as its a white dress and I wanted it to complement my tan. The dress is from Miss Selfridge and I love it, its one of those dresses that I will always love even if I don't wear it often. The shoes are from River Island and I bought them literally a week before we went away on holiday, I found them in the sale and it was one of those must have buys, they aren't to height either but are so comfy and pretty. I love the silver, holographic effect. The lemon clutch is one of my favourite ever accessorise! I actually love it so much. Its from New Look and again another bargain in the sale. It also came in orange. I use it all the time and was worth the buy.

Outfit 3- My top is the same pretty little thing top worn in outfit 1. My skirt is actually part of a skirt and jacket co-ord from missguided. I purchased it fro my birthday in march and I absolutely love it. I think its so pretty and I think it can easily be dressed up or dressed down. Its simple but elegant I think. The shoes worn are from tkmaxx. They are black and white, platform sandals and cross over on the feet. They are extremely comfy and I can wear them either with a skirt or dress or with jeans when its colder.

Outfit 4- this outfit is also one of my favourites and a classic holiday outfit for me. Emillie won it on an instagram competition last year and I love it because it never goes out of style and I love the reds in it, its so bright and it really stands out. My shoes are also from tkmaxx and I call them my gladiator sandals even though they aren't very gladiator, they can be worn with or without socks but I wear them with and I know many won't like that I wear socks with them especially flamingo ones as the outfit and socks are completely different patterns but hey! The socks are from new look and the shoes are unbelievably comfy I could walk in them forever.

Outfit 5- my last outfit which isn't really an outfit I must say, sooo, my bikini is from river island and I love it! I also got another bikini from river island and I wore both all holiday. They were both so comfy and good quality. They were also really well made too. As I have big boobs I find so many things so unflattering and it annoys me so much as so many shops don't make clothes to flatter you or if they do they are extremely expensive or revolting and I am not about that. So when I tried this bikini on and my other one I was hugely surprised to find that they both fitted but also to find that they were so comfy and I never felt as though I was falling out of either bikini. So honestly, I really recommend river island bikinis.

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed what I wrote and I hope it helped you in some way. I also hope you like my outfits and if you have any questions or opinions leave them in the comments below. I wish you all a good week, see you next time!!

Cute Culottes

 

Hey guys, I hope you've had been having a lovely weekend!

So this is the outfit that I wore shopping yesterday, I don't usually wear culottes unless I'm on holiday for some reason, but yesterday I decided I wanted a change from my long wide leg trousers and dresses so I decided these were the perfect item to mix it up a little.

 

These culottes are so comfy and I found them really easy to style with a simple black knitted crop top my trusty white sandals which I have lived In this summer and a very simple gold necklace. These culottes could be worn with any colour top I think as they are black and white, most colours would look good. I really like how these look, from a distance like a cute girlie midi skirt, when in actual fact they're not. These are definitely a summer must have as they are different to other garments that I own. I really like the bold palm tree print which is really on trend at the moment. I doubt Primark sell these anymore as I bought them last year but I'm sure there are similar ones out there! This is definitely my favourite outfit of the month so far, and everything is from Primark! I have added some links below to some similar items to what I am wearing!

Pay day!! Surely it's one of the best days of the month, right!? Well I think so anyway. Here is a cheeky look into my wish list from missguided.co.uk and M.A.C cosmetics. These gorgeous items are what I have been looking at over the past few weeks and really really want! 

Over the past month or so I have really loved this 'lace up' style that I have seen in most shops recently, and as you can see, most of this wish list is lace up.. the shoes included.

 

SHOES. I simply cannot get enough of them, as my friends and family know all too well . I have a shoe shelf in my room with probably about 30 (give or take a couple), to be honest I have lost count. These two pairs would look so lush on as the would off... in a space on my infamous shelf! I really like how these shoes could also be worn with a casual outfit or to finish off the perfect evening/ party outfit! They would also go with every outfit that I also have on this wish list which is just fab! 

During summer I love to wear clothing like the swing dress and loose fitting tops as they are lighter and cooler to wear in the heat, (when I say heat, I mean on holiday.. Obviously not this English weather) so these cute garments would be the perfect holiday clothes! 

 

M.A.C. So this is another brand I am totally obsessed with and have been for many years. I cannot go too a M.A.C shop without buying something.. it is usually a lipstick.

The top two images are of a recent collection called 'Look In A Box'. The top set is 'Look In A Box Lip Kit, Pretty Natural' which includes the following items for a total of £29-

 

 1 lip liner, 'Subculture'

1 lipstick, 'Pretty Natural' 

1 lipglass, 'Feeling Fine'

 

The second set is called 'Look In A Box Face Kit, Sophisticate which is more expensive at £49 but it includes the following;

 

2 powder blushes, 'Cream Soda & Linda'

6 eye shadows, 'Hey, Sun Tweaked, Wedge, With Flair, Beautifully Charred & Dance in the dark'

2 Lipsticks, 'Love happens & True red'

Duo- handed brush.

 

(This set also comes with a face chart to help you through the application).

 

I really want both of these sets and the outfits so much they are so gorgeous and would be perfect for my holiday!!

Elephant shorts

 

 

Hey guys, so I have had this blog for a while but with work and Uni I haven't had the time too post anything! I have finally found the time before I go back too uni in September to start blogging. I'm planning on doing outfit, lifestyle, travel and inspirational posts...(basically everything I love) so let me know what you think!

 

So here we go with my first post.

I absolutely love these elephant print shorts from Missguided, they are so cute and so comfortable. They are slightly too big for me so I can wear them as high wasted shorts, and combining them with a cute simple crop makes it a simple summery outfit.

 

 

I have styled them with a black off the shoulder crop top, and white sandals both of which are from primark. The sunglasses are also new and are from Asda! I never expected to find a lush pair of shades in a supermarket, and for only a fiver, I couldn't resist.

Shorts- Missguided 

Top- Primark

Sandals (not in photos)- primark 

Sunnys- ASDA
