Outffit of the day (dupe edition)

Todays post is  an outfit one because I haven't  done a fashion post in ages. And thought as I am going into town today I would show you what I am wearing. These are all things that look like expensive items or something you have seen in a shop but couldn't afford.


 Ok so when I was taking these pics I did get a bit carried away not going lie the one at the end I am not to sure what I am doing but lets just forget about that.

The jeans are plain black and actually from Asda because I was trying to find a dupe for the Topshop ones and these are amazing and wee only about £10 or £12 way cheaper than Topshop as they are around  £40.

The top is from Newlook and is a simple white crop top with a slightly high neck and a hold thing going on at the bottom. It cost £7.99 a perfect thing for the spring summer time as it is getting warmer. Way less than the Topshop ones but looks the same.

The jacket is actually from a charity shop for about £5 really super cheap and looks good with so many outfits  I can just chuck it on top of anything. I have recently fallen in love with vintage and charity shops because they have stuff you wouldn't always see in high street shops, something a little different maybe.

The shoes I saw in Topshop and wanted to get for sooo long, but when I stepped into Primark a while back I stumbled across these and they looked the exact same so u thought why not. Now people ask me  if I got them from Topshop I just nod, shhh they will never know if you don't tell them.

My rings I think I got in the Newlook sale along with a load of others in the pack for £2 a great deal that looks more expensive than it is.

Finally, my necklace was given to me by my Grampy and that actually was expensive, but it just goes really well with the rest of the outfit so that is why I included it.

Thank you for reading my post hope it helped you out, see you soon.

Mini makeup haul

The other day I was having a lazy day and decided to go and treat myself and have a little shop, do a little retail therapy and these are the makupey sort f things I bought.

So firstly I went to boots and I have always wanted a Maybelline 'Colour Tattoo', for literally ages and I always use my friends but I have finally got one. I is in the shade on and on bronze because that is the hade that everyone seems to love. I was going to get the shade pink gold but they didn't have in store. That was £4.99.

Next something quite new and when we saw it my friend Emily (everything Emily) ended up dropping it as per usual. It is by seventeen it is a blush called 'cheek stamp' and as soon as I saw it I was fascinated because it isn't normal you have to twist it and there is a pump sort of thing. Very hard to explain but you need to check it out. The one I got was a natural looking shade with a pretty shimmer called ' stare struck' but I loved the other names like 'the cheek of it' and it was only £5.

Thirdly was an eye shadow pallet from  collection for an amazing price of  £2.99 it is simple and has a light matt a dark matt and the rest of the colours are shimmers I will try that out and let you know the results but I have high hopes for this.

After hand I went to TK Max just to see if they had any decent  deals... they did. I am not too sure if this really counts in the haul scene as I got this for someone else but I am still going to include it. It is a three pack of Rimmel 'show off' lip lacquers in shades 'nova', 'solstice' and 'stargazer'. The original price for this was £19.47 and it was reduced down to £4.99, too good to resist.

From Super drug a grabbed  myself a baby lips intense care, this was due to me using up all of my peach one and my cherry one is a bit bright for school day so I wanted to try a new one. I think it was £2.99 like all the other baby lips and works a treat.

Thanks for reading my mini make up haul today. Hope you enjoyed it see you soon.

January look

This is a little  different to the post that I have recently done on nude lips. Well actually it's kind of the opposite. This is a bright bold lip, a statement look. This is because January is the start of a new year and a new me. No more hiding and shying away, it is now time for a bolder braver me.  One who could pull off a bold lip look.

To start off this look I did the usual primer foundation concealer under my eyes and  to hide any nasty visitors that decided to pop up.

 Then for the eyes I did a bit of a different look to what I usually would. I did bottom lash mascara. Wow a massive step for me I know. Any way the mascara I used for this look was  Maybelline one that I had never used nor  even seen before called high heet volume. Sounds great to me and it was so cheep. My Benefit They're real mascara is running out (sad face) so I thought I would try a new one and I love it already. Shadow wise I used a grey slightly sparkly shadow by N.7 in shade 35 comet. Such a nice shadow really pigmented and blends well. And I just put that around my eye as kind of a liner (not going into the inner corner at the bottom) and smudged out. To make it darker you could use a black or darker grey right on the lash line.

Then for the statement lips, there isn't much I can say about it but I used the Rimmel Apocolips in the shade Big Bang It is very bright and not drying that is the good thing about the Apocolips they are a mix between a lipstick and lip gloss resulting in a lip laqure. It is a bold red, however if reds aren't your thing I also own two others in the Apocolips line that I own not sure of the name and stella they are a popping pink and a glowing coral. That specific shade also makes your teeth look whiter which is always a bonus.

Next for the outfit I chose to go with this look (it's   just what I wore on the day).  My top is a blue and red checked shirt from Topshop, super baggy and super comfy. Under that I just wore leggings again for  comfort reasons, They are from Dorothy Perkins but I wouldn't recommend them, they are a little see through. As it is chilly in January I also add my French connection denim jacket with grey hoodie sleeves.

Finally to accessories I have a fluffy head band from Jules (sooo expensive, sooo worth it). It is a deep purple navy colour almost black. And shoes wise I used my brown boots with a white fluff collar. I am living in them this winter.

Thanks for reading this post and hope it gives you some inspiration for your own look.
