90's Inspired Makeup Look

After my recent purchase of this turtle neck top from New Look (featured in this hall) I have been experimenting with changing my make-up look a little. I have always been one to shy away from black eye shadow but I find the little definition it adds in the crease makes it look very 90's and I don't think the picture does it justice either. I think paired with dark nude lips it makes a classic day or night makeup look and I love it!

Try something that you shy away from you might end up loving it like I do now with black eye-shadow!

Drug-store Lipstick Dupe: Chanel Rouge Coco 05 Mademoiselle

I have recently become a lover of dark nude lipsticks since I was generously gifted Chanel 05 Mademoiselle for Christmas and I can't get enough of it. It goes so so well whatever makeup look I decide to wear and is defiantly an amazing 'you lips but 1,000 times better' colour which i adore and i'm sure this would suit all skin tones! I prefer darker nudes to lighter nudes as they can wash me out completely.

I was wondering around Boots today with my mum and at the L'oreal stand spotted this gorgeous lipstick in the shade '302 Bois De Rose' and it wan't until I got home I realised how similar the colours were. (A haul of my other purchases will be up soon...)

The price is a steal at £6.99 compared to the steep price of £25 for an almost identical Chanel version.

                                                                                   Price:       9/10                      3/10

                                                          Precise Application:     10/10                      9/10  

                                                                                  Smell:       6/10                      9/10

                                                                  Lasting Power:        7/10                      8/10

I 100% prefer the Chanel version but it's a close call. If you can justify treating yourself I would really recommend buying it - If you're on a lower budget the L'oreal lipstick is just as good - I prefer the application of this product as it has a slightly pointed tip so accuracy is easy.

What I Got For Christmas 2014

Firstly I am of course am going to put the disclaimer forward that this post is not me bragging what so ever! I feel so lucky to have been gifted these things and they are my favourite thing to read posts or watch videos about so I thought maybe some of you guys would want to see what I was given for Christmas this year. I'm just going to feature presents given to me by my family but my friends also got me so really lovely gifts but I was silly and forgot to take photos of them before I started using them but I am super grateful for those too. Secondly I'm sorry for being a bit a-wall from this blog at the minuet, I've been super busy but I'm planning to start posting here frequently again :). 

Yet again I want to mention how grateful I feel and I hope you all had the best Christmas ever!

I will speak to you all soon,
