Couple of casual OOTD's....

Hey all I'm finally back on the blogging bandwagon after what has been a mad week. It was my last day in my job today so that was sad :( but now I've got to get on the job search for something between now and my travels but that leaves me with lots of time to get blogging again. I popped into town on Saturday just for a walk to the Library, then tagged along with Mum and Dad shopping on Sunday for the promise of a Starbucks....here's what I wore...

Cropped navy jumper: Crafter at Republic

Long black vest: H&M

Leggings: Primark

Bag: River Island

Converse: Office

Top: H&M

Hoody: Primark mens

I've got a top 10 lipsticks post and a current obsessions post coming up this week so I'll see you all soon

I'm a tiger again....

Hey lovelies....sorry I've been quiet again this week, it's been a bit of a mad one. I got made redundant this week so I need to find a job to keep me going between now and Australia as I need the money for my savings to go out there, however if I can't find one straight away I'm afraid I'll be filling all your Twitter timelines and reading lists with my rambles! Anyway just in case you start to forget me until normal service resumes after the weekend....HIYYAA!

Top 5 eyeshadows...

Hey lovelies, sorry I've been quiet on here this week, I've had a bit of a mad one! I'm not really an eyeshadow fan, but there are one or two I do reach for when I'm in the mood...

Urban Decay Roach: This is gorgeous all over the lid then smoked out to create a subtle daytime look, or heavily in the crease with huge false lashes for something a bit more dramatic at night

The Body Shop shimmer cube in Honeycomb: I LOVE this shade, I've used it daily for months and it's hardly gone down. Just damp an eyeshadow brush and sweep it through the colour then over the lid. These will definitely be coming to Oz with me!

Not so much a shadow, but Mac Paint Pot in Bare Study is an everyday base colour, either by itself or as a base for a pale smokey eye at night. Pain Pots are fast becoming one of my favourite collectable Mac items! 

Back to Urban Decay, and of course the trusty Naked Palette! Hustle is an incredible purply brown that I smudge across the outer corner over the top of Bar Study as a staple night out look. 

Yet again UD, and this time Sin from the Naked palette. Another colour that I love as an all over colour wash for the lid, or as a base for a pink smokey eye!

Do any of these make your top 5?

OOTN - Ripped tights and RIP Up The Amp....

Hey all, hope you're all having a lovely weekend. I went out for one of my best friends birthday's last night (dreading seeing some of the pictures) and wore...

Shirt: Miss Selfridge

Shorts: Topshop

Tights: Primary (yep, that's right, Primark!!)

Boots: Office

Jewellery: mix of Miss Selfridge, Cyprus, ASOS

I'm trying to grow my fringe out which is annoying as it's still mega short so this is about the only hair style I can manage right now! I re-dyed my hair to Black Cherry again just to freshen the colour up a bit but without the flash on in these pictures you can't really tell.

Also, if you follow me on Twitter you'll have seen me ranting last night about my poor Up The Amp lipstick that I wore, which has now melted into a gloopy mess just like Saint Germain did a couple of years ago. Is it something about the amplified formula's? Has anyone else had this issue? And why is it always my FAVOURITE ones??

Yes, this is a man's t-shirt.....

I love a t-shirt. Even more than this, I love a man's t-shirt. They have far better prints on them, are usually better quality, and more often than now...cheaper! Half my wardrobe is made up of t-shirts like this one...

Which I just chop the neck off...

Then the sleeves...

And voila....!

 Chuck on some converse and a denim shirt, and I'm sorted...

Anyone else a fan of the mens section??

February empties....

As every month, I've gone through my trusty tub of Vitamin E moisturiser, TWO deodorants (bit excessive?) and, this month, a lot of samples from various beauty boxes.

I repurchased: Natural bronze cocoa butter, moisturiser, mini hairspray, lip balm, shampoo, Sally Hansen nail strengthener (LOVE this product!)

I didn't like: The F.A.B body wash from an old GlossyBox, the Collection2000 radiance boost concealer.

I'm pleased to have used up: my 17 primer, so now I have an excuse to splash out on a high end one. Any recommendations?? The Rimmel bronzer - I feel like I've had this years!
