CHRISTOPHER KANE FOR NARS: WEARING NEONEUTRALS


I’ve definitely got a bit of a thing for fashion and beauty collaborations. It takes two of my favourite things and pops them together for a mash up that suits me down to a tee. When I heard about the Christopher Kane for NARS collection it was indeed one for me to get a bit giddy about. I’m a big NARS fan (what is a world without Laguna bronzer?), and the Christopher Kane influence sounded ideal – taking the vibrant neons and finding those neutrals that complement them perfectly.

For me, I can add this collection into my get ready routine in stages. With my typically monochrome outfit I’ll first go for the neutrals, starting with the Silent Nude blush. It hasn’t got that orange undertone you get with a lot of neutral blushes so I love using it a bit like a contour. I then take to the stand out colours – a swipe of highlight on cheeks and eyes before dabbing on some Mezmer Lip Gloss. With nudes to pair with it’s so much easier to build up on the bold.

Up there as one of my favourites is the Violet Atom Multiple. It’s the kind of product that surprises you with not being half as ‘out there’ as a purple stick could suggest. It just attracts the light beautifully and I’m already imagining it swished across my cheeks when I’ve upped my summer glow (currently none existent).

With the sunshine season in mind I’m seeing this as the perfect chance to dabble with some colour and add it into my look.

slogan tee & cherry disco pants

Hat - River Island, T-Shirt - c/o Studded Petals , Belt - Primark, Disco Pants - c/o Glamorous , Boots - c/o Missguided I’ve been wanting to show you all this tee since it arrived. What do you think of the slogan?! I love it.. Such fun! Excuse the Miranda reference.. ‘such fun’ has now become part of my lingo. Ha. This is the closest I’ll be getting to anything Chanel related for a long time, which is fine by me.. it’s cute as a button. Fingers crossed though for one day earning enough mega bucks to end up flouncing around with a quilted 2.55 baby. Day dreaming yet again. Hopefully, you’re not all going to be turned off by a disco pants outfit. I know they’ve been overdone, but I’ve never really been the sort of person to be put off by something like that. If I like a trend or piece of clothing, I’ll still be wearing it even when everyone & their grandma’s has it. It’s more how you wear it I think. Annoyingly, I wore the t-shirt down after I’d take...

THREE LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS PARTY DRESSES

Image
Who isn’t a lover of a sparkly frock?! Okay, plenty of people, but even though I spend my life in all black, I’m still a fan of something glitzy. Christmas is a whole other ball game, and finding the perfect dress not only involves sourcing something occasion appropriate that suits you, but also something that feels a little festive. It’s not like red with a white fur trim is a must, but I do like something that makes me feel Christmassy… I can wear a bog standard LBD at any point in the year! For last minute options I’ve got three super sparkly numbers that can help you up the glam levels at the Christmas do. Motel Rocks Finn Slip Dress Okay, this is my most naaakud. It’s Christmas though, and if you can’t flash a bit of side boob at Christmas when can you?! Yup, you’re going to freeze your nips off, but you’re going to look like the twinkly star of Bethlehem on your night out. For dressing it down a little I think it’s perfect worn with a leather jacket and ankle boots....

BLACK FRIDAY DEALS AT BEAUTY BAY

Image
My kind of Black Friday deal involves makeup, and this year  Beauty Bay  is delivering all the deals.... Ummm, hello up to 30% off some of my favourite beauty brands!! To kick off the Black Friday weekend, Beauty Bay will be having one of its biggest sales to date, with some of the best beauty names on offer, including LA Girl, Kevyn Aucoin, Mario Badescu and Alpha-H. To celebrate all the discounted makeup goodness I’ve picked out my top picks to share with you… Yup, that’s Gerard Cosmetics and Lime Crime in there! I’m super excited to see both brands on offer – I’m so obsessed with matte, liquid lipsticks and these are both shades I’ll wear on repeat. I’ve used a few of the Gerard Cosmetics  Hydra Matte Liquid Lipsticks  before, so I knew I’d be sold on ‘Everything Nice’ – it’s just a really lovely pink for daytime and evenings. Lime Crime I’d not used before, but I’d always wanted to give the  Velvetines  a go… A discount on these was too good ...
