OOTD: Ripped boyfriend jeans and yet another statement necklace...






  Tee shirt: Topshop, Jeans: Primark, Boots: Topshop, Necklace: Topshop, Bag: Vintage

I always have trouble finding jeans that fit my incredibly short legs, unless I want to pay £40 in Topshop... The good thing about these jeans is I can hack off the ends with a pair of nail scissors and it looks like they were meant to be that way! Always a bonus for those who are completely incompetent at DIY fashion...

After posting this outfit, I realised that all except for the bag and jeans are actually from Topshop... hmm I guess the staff discount did come in handy after all. To be fair, they are mostly sale items. The necklace is my most recent purchase and yes, I do not need another necklace, this blog alone is evidence enough of that, however, I was looking for a longer necklace as most of mine are collar styles. I really like the crystal boho details on it and it goes really well over printed tee shirts too.

My lipstick is Mac feel my pulse from the temperature rising collection, It's a cremesheen but leaves a lovely stain on the lips which prolongs the wear. I've been obsessed with purple lipstick lately, have you seen NARS Dominique audacious lipstick? *sighs* 

I'm already so excited for Christmas and I am currently compiling my list which is hindered by my mum's resentment of my makeup hoarding... It seems to be coming around really fast this year because I've been so busy lately! I went to the Circa Waves gig in Manchester last Friday night which was amazing, you can watch the vlog here :)

Let me know what's on your Xmas list this year <3

Lips
MAC Feel my pulse lipstick


After getting stuck in the smokey eye rut I decided to opt for a bright lip today and used Feel my pulse lipstick from MAC's Temperature rising collection. I am absolutely in love with this true violet colour and the formula is one of the more hydrating cremesheens as I find some, especially Creme cup to be very drying on the lips. 

For my eyes I used the Naked two palette which I finally got round to purchasing. Whilst there is much  blogger and Youtuber hype about this product, I am going to be controversial and argue that I have experienced better quality shadows from lower range drugstore brands. Whilst this is a nice palette with a very wearable colour selection, I wasn't blown away by the pigmentation of the shades and I had a lot of fall out from 'chopper' in particular. For the price tag I find this product to be a little over-rated.

Despite my initial dissapointment, I will say that the palette makes it very easy to create a range of everyday eye looks and once built up, the colours are very pretty with YDK, Busted and Verve being my most used shades.

Mac brow fluid line gelcreme

Wow I have to say I'm really impressed with this product after purchasing it quite a while ago at the launch of the stylish brow collection. After giving it a good trial run I can safely say this is my favourite brow product ever! I purchased the shade dirty blonde and found it to be the perfect match after having tried a multitude of brow pencils and shadows which have all turned out to be too dark or red toned. This is not red toned and the formula is amazing. You only need a very small amount of product to achieve a perfectly defined brow. The gelcreme glides on really easily and stays put all day. However I believe these are limited edition so I would seriously consider getting your ass down to mac quick! There are 3 shades for blondes brunettes and redheads. Rating: 10/10
