Lots of love for leather...

(I'm not as orange as I look here…it was the lighting I promise!!)

Vest - Primark

Necklace & skirt - H&M

Shoes - Step in Style

Watch - ASOS

I loved my makeup here, I wore EL Double Wear with lashings of Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. I used the NYX bronzer and my favourite Mac blush ever, Lovecloud. A swipe of my favourite Essence highlighting powder and my skin was a gooden. I kept eyes simple with just a lightly contoured lid from my Naked Basics palette, some liquid winged liner and my favourite Demi Whispies. Lipstick was one of the MUA matte liquid lipsticks which is probably the worst makeup item I've ever used in my entire makeup wearing life. It lasted for the life span of my photography session when it completely shrivelled up on my lips, dropped off in lumps when I spoke, left a waxy residue after I took it off and stained my lips. Great colour, vile product (sorry). 

I had such a great night out in this outfit, it's not often I go out with this much flesh on show but hey, if you can't dress up for a girls night out then when can you??? I'm really struggling with what to wear with this skirt, everything that's not completely form hugging makes me look a lot bigger than I am. Any suggestions welcome!

OOTN ft my new Guess handbag...

With working in a handbag shop comes only one thing....an ever expanding handbag collection. I saw this one just before my birthday and was really lucky to have the money put into my account by my parents so I could get it as my birthday present! 

Kimono and vest - Cotton On (Australia)

Jeggins - Zara

Heels - Office

Bag - Guess (from Strandbags)

Necklace - Collette (Australia)

I went off Guess as a brand when they started to go too 'blingy'....totally not my style. I also think they increased in price considerable, and at the same time loosing their quality and getting cheap and plastic looking. I'm still a bit off most of their offerings but this little cuties popped up in work and I couldn't say no....anything that combines a long strap, turquoise and leopard detailing and small enough that I don't work up a sweat lugging it around on the hot Australian summer days is a winner in my eyes!

Sunday treats....

It's only right, I think, that after an amazing Saturday night celebrating the besties 23rd birthday that a teeny tiny bit f retail therapy is needed. Rude not to really! I was in desperat need of a new lip balm as all of mine seemed to have ran out at once so I popped to Boots and went a bit wild...

I'd had a Burt's Bee's lip balm ages ago but never re-purchased for some reason so thought I'd re-buy. Of course it hasn't disjointed. I'd sen this Blistex lip massage in a magazine last week, and thought it seemed a bit of a nifty gadget so thought I'd pick this up too. It's so so nice, really tingly and the lip massager is a bit of a really gentle exfoliator too! I randomly picked up a cheapy Boot own Coconut & Almond lip butter mainly because I need something to throw in my draw at work but also anything coconut scented is a winner recently, my fave! Lastly I bought the more expensive (£8 for a lipbalm?!?!) Soap & Glory Mighty Mouth, but only because I was picking up some other things from the range and it turned out to be free on their 3 for 2 offer....

I've not tried the lip balm or the moisture lotion yet but I did pop the No Clogs Aloud mask on earlier for the full 5 minutes and can honestly say this has made my skin feel like nothing before, it's so smooth, even and clear. I'm practically glowing! I'll be putting a full review of this up some time this week, it's amazing!

Thought I'd also pop up a quick OOTN pic up while I'm here, my hair looks slightly odd in this pic but it's the angle of the pic I think, it looked normal in real life!
