MAC Mehr Lipstick

There's something about the sophisticated black bullet of a MAC lipstick that makes them so satisfying to buy. They are easily my most favourite thing to add to my collection which probably explains while I now own 33 (eek). I was drawn to this particular shade as although it seems pretty basic, it is actually a pretty unique colour in my collection. I tend to be drawn to nudes or deep reds for Autumn but this little dirty blue-pink is something I have never come across before. I find it easy to get stuck in a rut and always reach for something plain and un-daring, (think MAC Hue) but every now and then I like to reach for something a little bit more edgy but still safe - as paradoxical as that sounds. The blue undertone of this lippy helps to accentuate the whiteness of ones teeth adding a boost of confidence. Another aspect I was drawn to was the matte formula as I don't own many matte neutrals only bolds. This really adds to the beauty of this lipstick as it creates a perfectly defined pout.

Let me know what you think.

Fashion| Wal-G Clothing

These lovely numbers you can see below are all products of an amazing up and coming fashion website Wal-G. This company stock beautiful clothing for women of all shapes and sizes, tastefully displayed with the help of their gorgeous models. At first glance of their collection I could already pick out a few items that I would love to have in my forever expanding wardrobe. The best part being that the clothes are so affordable it won't even break the bank to have a lovely wardrobe this Spring.

I've picked a few of my favourite items from the website and followed a blue theme for this post as this seems to be a popular colour that I think we will be seeing a lot of in Spring 2014.  

(None of the photos below belong to me and were found on the Wal-G website. All clothing items can be found on the website which you can be directed to by the clicking on the banner on the right side of my blog) 

The first being the Wal-G Sandy Cross Playsuit in Navy. A subtle but chic outfit perfect for a casual daytime look but with the right accessories could look great for a night out. I love the cross over effect at the front as I feel it would definitely flatter anyone who wore it as well as create a sense of uniqueness. I love the added extra of the gold zip as I feel this bit of detailing really helps to break up the outfit. This along with the round neckline and thick sleeves, makes this a staple for any fashionista's wardrobe and priced at only £37, I don't think anyone could argue with that! 

The next item was the first thing I spotted and instantly fell in love with. The Wal-G Spring In Your Step Overlay Dress which, first things first, I love the name. Nothing better when companies create a cute outfit with a quirky, descriptive name to match. The style, cut and pattern are totally different to anything seen before and so make it unique to this Fashion website. I love the big bold floral design which is just perfect for the Springtime along with the pretty green colour. This also comes in Wine, a  subtle red that really does the print justice. Priced again at £39, there really would be nothing stopping me to buy them in both colours and would hope they would do some more items styled like this on the website soon! 

The last item I am currently lusting over is the Wal-G Lace Up Back Dress which is currently on offer at the moment from £32 down to £12 which is insanely cheap for such a gorgeous item. I can't get enough of intricate backed dresses at the moment and this sure isn't a disappointment! I love the fit as I feel the tight top and flared out skirt is always a 'yes' for all girls in different shapes and sizes. The subtle, floral pattern netted in to the dress is exactly what I need to complete my Spring wardrobe and I know I would get a lot of wear out of this be it day or night. This comes in the colours Navy (pictured above) and Red and to be honest I don't know which I prefer!

All in all, this is definitely the website to go to for affordable yet beautiful clothing for each and every women. The only downside being that a few of their most popular items are out of stuck but I would think this to be a minor problem that would be solved in the near future)

Fashion| Topshop Nail Varnish

Hi everyone!

Just doing a quick run down on three of my favourite nail polishes that I've been loving these past few months. I've been mostly reaching for my Topshop nail varnishes as I find them really easy to apply, long lasting and give a great, bold coverage. I absolutely love the packaging which I think appears to look youthful and cute, something I love having sitting on my dressing table on display. 

My first favourite is Venus Flytrap a Pistachio Green colour which gives of a chalky look once applied and dried. This is perfect for Spring/Summer as an alternative to the pale pastels that usually make an appearance. You literally need two coats of this to achieve a solid colour that still dries quickly. 

The second is Plume a Purply-Blue colour that has a beautiful metallic shine with a slight shimmer once dried. The colour seems to adapt depending on the light making it more diverse. This takes 3-4 coats to achieve a bold, electric colour but it fasts drying and last a very long time. This deep colour is perfect for the Autumn/Winter paired with some gold accessories. 

And last but not least is the colour Imagination a baby blue colour with a glossy, glittery finish. This looks so pretty on and is completely different to anything I've seen or owned. The cool blue tone colour is perfect for Winter (I wore it a lot around Christmas) making a great alternative to the usual deep reds and golds that I usually see people wearing. I also love the name of this one and I have felt it to be completely relevant to the colour. The only problem I have found is the consistency is rather 'gloopy' making it slightly difficult to apply but it's still long lasting all the same. 

All in all, I think it's obvious that I'm a big lover of Topshop's Nail Varnishes. They're great quality for a good price and a slightly cheaper alternative to Essie's Nail Polishes. Priced at only £6 (currently on offer online for 2 for £9) there really is no reason to not give these a go.
