Feeling Fierce!

When I was out shopping I couldn't resist going into Pull and Bear... They've really upped their game in my eyes! The item I've tried on is a lion print sweatshirt and I had to tuck it into my shorts as they're quite high waisted - but even so I thought it looked pretty good :)

Here it is on the website - pretty reasonable at £19.99!

The material is a teeny bit see-through - so I'd advise a bandeau / dark coloured vest top underneath, but its still surprisingly cosy! Regretting not buying it...

What are your wardrobe essentials? Do you like Pull and Bear?

A Little Splurge...

So, I've neglected this blog for a while... Time to update!

On Saturday I went shopping (surprise there) and finally splurged on my first ever Benefit product!

(pictured: Revlon Just Bitten Balmstain in Cherish - so yummy on the lips and looks great too!)

I had such a lovely experience with the counter lady (whatever you call them) and after asking to get her to test the product on me, she seemed all too happy to get me onto a wee barstool style seat. The product was "High Beam" - a lovely satin pink highlighter and she showed me where/how to apply it. She also thought I'd had my eyebrows shaped somewhere (I just tweeze strays) and said they were a lovely shape - I felt so proud hehe :)

Back to the product... once she applied it onto the apples of my cheeks, a little on my chin and bridge of my nose I could tell I was gonna buy it! At £18.50 its justifiable when you think how long it'll last! I forgot to take a photo of me wearing it :( but they gave me a sample moisturiser too, which feels great on my skin but doesn't last as long as I thought it might - but then again I have really dry skin!

this photo isn't the best quality but oh well. i liked my outfit for christmas shopping last weekend so here it is!

jumper : Jack Wills. investment buy and its amazing quality and so cosy!

shirt : New Look. this is sleeveless and sheer white so you'd need to wear a bandeau underneath but theres lovely gold small studs in a wee line which add love!

jeans : River Island. got these in the sale for £20, such a steal

boots : New Look. already shown a better photo of these <3

so yeah i love this little owl necklace.. in fact i love owls!

also with gold aztec nails and my pastel pink jumper it makes such a simple, cosy outfit :)

aztec nails! 

i made this following roughly the instructions from the wah nails book and even though they took a while, i got such a feeling of satisfaction with the end result and all my effort was worth it.

nail polishes used:

• base : Primark metallic gold
• Andrea Fulerton Nail Boutique dot + flick black nail art pen
• Wah nails x Model's Own nail art pen in white
• No7 Stay Strong clear coat

these have now lasted for nearly five days and still going strong - a bit of a nail art record for me!
