60s babyyyy

So last weekend I went to a fancy dress party - I mentioned it on here before but it was so much fun! And I just thought I'd post what I wore. So I didn't want to go out and hire a costume or anything because as a schoolgirl living purely off my parents and babysitting money I have more important things to spend my money on so I found some things at home :)


I wore my mums top from joe Browns as a dress and then wore my leather hotpants from h and m underneath. I found some random black 60s like boots - I think I wore them when i was younger. Thankfully they still fitted! I backcombed my hair and clipped it. For makeup i did white frost eye shadow on the lid then benefit bad gal liner and black tied mac eyeshadow in the crease and on the top and bottom lash lines then finished with a nude lip. Hope you like it :) Oh total cost = £0 woop woop

Song of the day: Pass out by Tinie Tempah
It was my birthday party yesterday and everyone went crazy at this song. Genuinelly amazing party - I'm so grateful to my mum and dad! I shall post some pictures of my outfit soon.

LOTD: Mother's Day makeup

Hey you guys :) Sorry I haven't posted for a couple of days! Anyways this is the makeup I wore when I went out to the golf club for mothers day meal. I have been SO brave and posted a picture of myself without foundation or concealer on :S This is my skin in all its not perfect, pale glory! Anyways I did a really simple quick look. I just put Mac's crystal eyeshadow all over the lid and then put some Mac satellite dreams eyeshadow concentrated at the lashline. On top of that I put some purple liquid liner from avon and then just added some mascara. On my lips I put concealer and then some lancome lipgloss :) Hope you like it!



So this week has been amazing for me because it was my birthday :) I am officially 16 :D I got some lovely presents including a blackberry and v tickets from my parents! I may post some of the other clothes/jewellery/makeup i got soon.

Have a great weekend guys! What are you up to this weekend?

Little Haul to share with you :)

So after my english result I got £100 to spend :D woop woop! I went into town on saturday and these are the things that I bought:

This is an instant fake tan from rimmel. I needed it that night because I was off to a party and wanted to have bare legs but I'm sure I will be getting lots of use out of this as the summer starts arriving! The consistency of this was really nice and the smell was lovely, not anything like normal faketans. It looks really dark when it comes out but actually is sheer and leaves a really nice, longlasting colour on the skin. Highly recommended at just £3.99!


These are some shorts I got from Miss Selfridge for £28. They are a really nice fit and work perfectly well for the new spring summer season. They encorporate both denim and military in one so are very on trend. They will become a well used basic in my summer wardrobe I am sure!


And these shoes are my new love! They are the most expensive shoes I've ever bought at £75 from River Island but I am actually in love with them. The nude colour, military style and wooden heel make these shoes painfully on trend. And they give me much needed extra height while still being easy to walk in. I cannot rave enough about them!!!



So these were my purchases from the weekend :) What are your thoughts on them? Think they were good buys?

Another OOTD

Apologies for the very weird facial expression! And the randomness of the background!


I wore this outfit for yet another non uniform day at my school and then out the next day into town for shopping and chatting :) I am wearing a dress from topshop, my lovely vintage ralph lauren shirt (best item in my wardrobe by far atm!) and a belt from urban outfitters. I have encorporated this summers trends of denim and leopard print into a cold weather outfit.

Hope you like it and it inspires you in some way :)

Happiness :D and shoes to look at.

So I've been trying to post the past few days but for some reason it wasn't allowing me to :( anyways i am SOOOOO happy because i got some gcse results back! Well one. For some reason my school decide to make us do the english language exam (i do both language and literature english as two separate gcses) like 6 months early. But anyways i took it in january and got my results back on thursday and got an A*! So now i have 2 a* gcses under my belt before even going into the summer exams (I already have an A* in it which I took in year 9). But yeah it also means I got £100 from my parents which shall buy me some very lovely shoes - i've already ordered some clogs off the river island website. What do you think? Clogs - yay or nay? And I shall be spending the rest in town tomorrow.
I'm in tonight for like the 1st time in about a year :( I have to revise for my german oral exam which is in just 4 days :S but its fine because i've got a party tomorrow :) what are you guys up to this weekend?

Anyways, to make this post a little worthwhile and interesting for you and not just me forcing my excitement and happiness onto you I have got pictures for you of some new shoes I recently bought. My birthday is in just 5 days - I'm going to be 16 and I'm having a HUGE 16th birthday party next weekend which i am so excited for! I bought some new shoes from Kurt Geiger for the party - they are sooo pretty but so high that I can barely walk in them let alone dance for 4 hours :S What do you think? :)


Hope you liked this post - sorry for it being abit rambly. Have an amazing weekend lovelies :)

REVIEW: Mac costa chic lipstick

Here is my costa chic lipstick from mac:


So this lipstick I bought on new year's eve when I went up to london from selfridges mac counter. Now, I've only just got into lipsticks - before I was completely a gloss girl, still am to an extent but yeah :). This was the second lipstick I bought - I now have 4.

What mac sells it as: Colour plus texture for the lips. Stands out on the runway. Simmers on the street! What made M·A·C famous. And the colour is described as - a frosty light coral.

Price: I bought it for £12 but apparently its gone up to £12.50. ughh mac stop putting the prices up :(

My review: First thoughts this lipstick is expensive. Yes it is expensive and when your my age it is a lot to pay for a lipstick however I love the brands and quality of makeup and would not mind spending about £15 on an eyeliner so that didn't bother me that much. And I would say you definitely get what you pay for! The texture of all the mac lipsticks is so nice - creamy, soft and not drying. Exactly what you need in a lipstick! The colour comes out really well on the lips and can be made really subtle with a thin layer or very dramatic with a few layers applied. The colour itself is absolutely beautiful. It is a gorgeous orangey coral and looks absolutely stunning on all skintones. It comes out very nicely on pale skin but I think it will come into its own when worn with a tan - will definitely be featuring in my summer makeup! It can be matched with most things on the eyes and I've found it works particularly with a neutral and brown based shadows. However it could be used with a black smokey eye to create a really dramatic nighttime effect. I consider it the best lipstick i own (others I have include mac's cosmo and sandy d) and I think i will use it alot in the summer. Also, I wore it on my first date with my last boyfriend - and lets just say it worked ;).

Would I buy again - most definitely yes. Havent found this colour anywhere else. absolutely beautiful.

Thankyou for reading :) if you have anything you would like me to review leave me a comment and i'll see if i have it :D

hope your having a good week
