Autumn Leaves

As summer comes to an end, and autumn starts to show its leaves, my wardrobe insanity comes to an end. Say goodbye to the super bright colours. Goodbye to the crazy prints. And goodbye to the ‘leaving the house without a jacket’ moments.

My wardrobe has officially become boring again. However… don’t you fear I have a new fashion obsession to share today!!!! Et voila! Here it is!

 This time I was inspired by the colour leaves turn as they leave their green state; a lovely burgundy/orangey colour; the colour of fire, love and dark secrets. And so this mood board was born.

As you can see the overall outfit looks sexy but tough at the same time. You can wear it in the morning to college/work/interview stuff, then swap the sneakers for some hot heels and open up the jacket to reveal the lovely see through chiffon for a sexier, edgier evening look.

The makeup that you wear with this look would also determine the overall feel and persona you give off to people; for the day I would keep it natural with some foundation and gloss, but later on in the day I would apply some black eyeliner and generous amounts of mascara, followed by some deep red/burgundy lipstick.

Personally I would only wear this outfit if I had something going on in the evening and had no time to go home and change.  If I wanted to make the look more casual I would instead swap the dress for some black jeans and a cute panda shirt! naww pandas!

The dress I chose was from HM (Dress with chiffon details), the jacket you can find practically anywhere, (I found this gorgeous one just last week in a market! woop for bargain buys!), the bag from Deichman and the shoes from All-star.

So what has been your fashion obsession lately? would you ever wear this outfit?

Product review!

Product Review!!

Recently I went out to the high street and purchased a couple of things I’d wanted to try out for a while. Most of the products were cheap and affordable.

The first thing I bought was the MUA lipstick, shade 4. It’s a pity these products don’t have names as the quality of this lipstick is amazing. It’s so creamy and well pigmented, that I sometimes find myself forgetting to apply lip balm beforehand. It’s also extremely affordable costing only £1.00! This particular shade is a soft peach colour that would suit many skin tones and is a perfect spring colour too!

Another product I bought is the maybelline collosal volume mascara, which I bought for £7.19 from superdrug. I like this mascara but its nothing I would rave about. I regret not buying the water proof version as this easily smudges if you get into any contact with water. Apart from that though its good for extra volume and to make your lashes look fuller and longer. Its also fairly clump free and the packaging is cute!

I also got the new amazing Barry M nail gelly effect varnish, which I’ve been wanting for ages now! I got it in green berry, which is a lovely mint green, perfect for spring/summer, because it looks like the sea! I put it on not too soon and it did last for quite a while (5 days) without chipping or peeling, considering I had no top coat on! However if I did have top coat on it would have probably lasted for longer than 12 days!

The last product I will be talking about is the MUA cream blush in bittersweet, which looks super florecent pink in the packaging but is more of a soft pink on application! Usually cream blusher can be doubled up as a lipstain too, but I wouldn’t recommend that when using this certain product. It can look really dried and cheap on the lip.

And that’s the lot! Thanks for reading!

Have you owned any of these products? And what did you think?
