OOTD: That Casual Feeling

The sun was out and I was feeling super happy to be spending the day with one of my best friends! We planned to go out for the day for food and lots of giggles, we did think of shopping too but that never happened as food just took over! We went to a gorgeous vegan restaurant, I am not vegan but adore healthy vegan food.

My friend agreed to take some photos, we laughed the whole way through so am sure you can see that in the photos! You may or may not know that I am pregnant, so currently I am 19 weeks and want a wardrobe to work for both being pregnant and after so have been trying to wear items that I have already which can work for me and my bump. If you didn't know I have a youtube and have shown a haul of items I have purchased that are not maternity wear which can work for me now, during and after pregnancy.

OOTD: Fairy Tale Moments and Announcement!

You ever got that moment when you feel like you are a Disney princess...well this was my moment! I adore this skirt, teamed with a leather jacket and statement necklace I felt like a princess with edge! This is also the start of my maternity style....yep I am pregnant!! Its so hard to find things and to dress when pregnant, not much around so I am trying to experiment and look at various styles and ways to wear things differently.

Review: KIKO Lipstick

Hello Loveys,

Its been a rainy day in these parts of the UK, and its summer! I have a review for you today on the KIKO Lipstick, an Italian brand that have recently come to the UK.

KIKO, Italian, Pink, Gold, Lipstick, Creamy, Pigmentation, Colour, Cheap, Highstreet, Review, Swatch, Lips

The lipstick I chose was from the Life In Rio Exotic range which they released for spring summer. The range is bright and bold with a mixture of corals and pinks with gold metallic packaging, and as per usual I chose the pink- Voluptuous Pink. This lipstick is moisturising, it is creamy and has great pigmentation. I applied this and instantly fell in the love with the bold colour and the glide on creamy formula, it needed reapplying like most lipsticks, but is a lipstick I will be using again and again over the next few months.

Here is a swatch of the lipstick, such a pretty pink that can be built up to a deep colour that leaves your lips soft and dreamy.

Have you tried KIKO?

Review: Makeup Revolution Blusher and Highlighter!

Hello loveys,

So if you haven't already heard here is a new makeup brand on the scene Makeup Revolution, a brilliant affordable brand so on the bandwagon I went.

I purchased the powder blushes in Hot! and Treat! which is only...wait for it.....£1!! Hot powder blush is a hot shade of pink, bright and gorgeous, perfect for summer whilst Treat is a beautiful coral shade. The only thing that isn't great is the packaging which is quite flimsy and the lid can break away with ease but for £1 I am not going to complain. I swatched the blushes and couldn't believe the pigmentation so got straight to applying them to the apples of my cheeks, they applied with ease and you don't need a lot at all! I love that they are matte, I would highly recommend these as they are beautiful and feel high end rather then highstreet.

Hot!

The next product is the highlighter in peach lights, a pretty highlighter that yet again is amazing for only £3.00, it has flimsy packaging but amazing pigmentation. Again, you don't need a lot and a little goes a long way. I adore this shade, it has a hint of peach running through it that highlights your cheekbones and brow bones beautifully, you also get a lot for your money! I would highly recommend this.

Would love your views! Thanks for reading.

Review:Highstreet eyeliner......Rimmel VS Bourjois

Hi Loveys,

Todays post is a comparison post on two highstreet eyeliners, Bourjois and Rimmel, lets see which one wins my vote.

Bourjois 24hr Ultra Black Liner.

This liner is a good liner, it has an easy to use nib that gives a precise line, it can come out quite thick at times so you need to be light handed if you want a thin line. The packaging is a box standard black but a sleek tube so easy to grip. The colour is black but after a couple of weeks use it began to dry out which I wasn't impressed about. I liked the effect and ease of use but I just wish it would last a lot longer. The liner did not last that long and was smeared on my eyelids within a couple of hours.

Retails at £6.99

Rimmel Scandaleyes Precision Micro Eyeliner.

This liner is from Rimmel, it is an easy to use liner with an ultra thin nib which gives a precise thin line. The packaging is box standard black but a thicker tube then the Bourjois liner so a bit chunky to hold. The colour is black which needs layers to get a super black look which was a little annoying. I adored the nib, and it lasted longer then the Bourjois liner. The liner lasted longer then the Bourjois liner but did smear by the end of the day so would need reapplying.

Retails at £5.49

Above swatch- Rimmel Scandaleyes

Below- Bourjous Liner

I would buy Rimmel Scandaleyes again rather then the Bourjois liner, due to the super thin nib and longer lasting ink, I wish both brands would last longer as they aren't exactly on the cheaper side of the hightstreet!

Have you used any of these? Which liner is your favourite?
