T H R E E ♥ T H I N G S | MAC Additions

We all love a nude lip, well, most of us. I, on the other hand, have only started enjoying this look. I was more of a if-you're-gonna-wear-a-lipstick-wear-it-bold-kinda gal. However, I have recently found a new love for pastel/nearly nude spring colors - pretty weird since we're still surrounded by dead leaves, cold winds and outbursts of Winter storms. I had recently purchased a few matte lipsticks: Kinda Sexy, Please Me and Pink Plaid (three guesses what brand this is...)

Pink Plaid | I honestly purchased this lipstick off a whim. This gorgeous barbie pink shade is best suited for paler complexions as it contains a strong cool undertone. Not only will this enhance a paler (wo)mans' skin tone, but will also give a fresh, youthful radiance when applied right ie. minimal makeup with a strong focus on highlighted cheekbones. For my deeper skin toned honeyz, this lipstick will also be wearable when paired with a lip liner of your skin tone.

Please Me | This lipstick is very similar to Pink Plaid. However, the warmer undertone gives it that bit more leeway for medium to tanned skin tone beauties to wear. The lipstick is, yet again, another matte finish which allows the lipstick to stay put throughout the day.

Kinda Sexy | I have been longing for this particular lipstick for the longest time. As you know, I am not one for the very pale, I-just-ate-a-frosted-doughnut kinda lip. Instead, this is a wearable, non-concealer-like lipstick with undertones of warm peach. The matte finish allows this lipstick to be such an eclectic shade to wear for any occasion - day or night. For deeper skin tones, this shade is your perfect spring/summer nude! On paler skin tones, this is definitely a My Lips but Better lipstick.

♥ a Knitwear Haul

N E U T R A L I S M  

Who doesn't love a good online shop, if you're anything like me, an online shop can be very dangerous. I ended up browsing the H&M Sale and stumbled upon some amazing and timeless pieces! Chunky sweaters, polo necks and neutral shades are a recurring theme that keeps getting added into my winter wardrobe. Thanks to Instagram, I have been adoring the minimalistic 50-Shades-of-Grey fashion of some gorgeous and talented bloggers such as FRICHIC, HAPPILY GREY, ORACLE FOX.

The Gry Knitwear in the image above is from ZARA and is now sold out.

Can you believe all of these pieces were purchased in the sale section?! I am so happy with each and everyone of them. My favourite has got to be the H&M Camel Over-sized Polo Neck Sweater as it has an amazing cowl-neck line that is not too loose and not too tight. I am 5'5 in height and as it is over-sized, I could easily pair this sweater up with some leggings or tights as the length stops just below my knee. This was a quick post as I will be showing of the jumpers in a separate post. Watch out for Outfit of the Days soon!

A Tiny MAC Haul

A  T E E N Y   W E E N Y   M A C   H A U L 

I was gobsmacked to find out that a parcel came for me today. I hadn't purchased anything lately. Nevertheless, I was so excited to find out what it was. It came in a thick, black envelope. I then looked at the sender. MAC. I turned a bit hulk on it and ripped the sleeve like it was a piece of chicken wing. A note that said:

To Butch (my very embarrassing nickname from the bf)

Happy Birthday
 From 'The King.' (trust him to name himself something corny)

 I literally screamed! These were the two shades I had been eyeing up at the MAC store for ages! Flat Out Fabulous is a retro matte finish whilst VIVA GLAM Rihanna has a slight frost finish. I cannot wait to try these babies out. I literally just got this an hour ago! I hardly post in the middle of the day but I COULD NOT WAIT! It also came with (what appears to be) a mascara sample? I guess there was a PROMO going on...

Thanks BAE!

Watch out for a thorough review on each lipstick!

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE
