Depth

Usually, I like to keep my lipstick and makeup in general quite subtle. If anything I usually make my eyeliner/eyeshadow the boldest out of all, but I decided to go ahead and buy the topshop lipstick in the shade "depth". This is the dupe of Mac's lipstick "media". It's such an amazing bold colour and the packaging of topshops lipsticks are so cute. 

The lipstick is a deep purple colour that is extremely pigmented when it's first applied however it doesn't last very long throughout the day and I had to re do it a few times.

What I love about this lipstick is you can apply it very light and dab it in to make it a light purple/pink shade, but you can also build up the application to make it as dark as it can be. 

The lipstick looks black in it's case and is rather scary at a first glance, but on the lips it is more of a deep purple colour.  

I love this lipstick and I think it's perfect for nights out and special occasions like Christmas or birthdays. It's not the type of lipstick that I would wear out on a daily basis, but for evenings out I think this lipstick is perfect. It makes you look asif you made some effort with your makeup which is always a winner.

It's very moisturising and glides straight onto the lips. It doesn't really smell of anything which I do like in a lipstick. If a lipstick smells nice then obviously that's a bonus but for me I have always managed to pick lipsticks that smell awful, so I would rather no scent!

It is such a unique colour with a rich glossy finish and I can't wait to find an excuse to wear it again!

Primark Summer Outfit

This outfit is one of my favourites, it is so affordable and so timeless. All the pieces I am wearing are from primark and the total price came to under £25.

First is this beautiful kimono paired with a plain white top.







































This looks so cute and is so easy to wear. It's perfect for the spring and summer and I can't wait to wear it! I then paired this outfit with some high waisted denim shorts which are extremely similar to the topshop ones except these were less than £10!

This is one of my favourite go to outfits for summer because it looks so nice all together and it's so easy to wear. It is such a timeless outfit and will never go out of fashion. The quality of all of these pieces are fantastic and I was so impressed when I found these. The shorts are the exact same ones that are being sold in topshop at the moment (joni cut offs) and kimono's similar to these have been sold everywhere recently for ridiculous prices, where as this was so cheap! 

What I love about primark is people have very low expectations and always go in to just get some cheap basics and every single time primark suprise me with some amazing things! I couldn't believe it when I saw the kimono for £10 and when I saw the shorts I didn't expect them to fit like the topshop ones but they do, it's amazing! They're so comfortable and soft and so affordable. They come in all sorts of colours and designs and I can't wait to go back for more and see what else I can find!

Kimono: London Oxford st primark £10
Shorts: my local primark in Telford either £8 or £10
Plain white top: my local primark £3

My Naked 2 Palette Review


Wow.. My first reaction when I opened this palette, was just, wow. It is simply incredible. This palette has every eye shadow a girl would ever need, from white to black, all the colours in-between, matte or shimmer, it is incredible.

The Naked 2 Palette is made up of 3 matte shades (white, brown and black) and 9 shimmery shades. It comes with a double sided brush for both applying and blending eyeshadow, it also comes with a lip gloss attached too.

This palette allows me to achieve every eye look I could ever want, whether that is for school, a meal out, a party or an interview, this palette has everything. I use this palette on a daily basis and I am starting to hit pan on 3 colours, which all happen to be next to each other, the 3 last colours in the palette, YDK, Busted and Blackout. These are generally my every day colours. What I like to do is cover my eyelid in YDK as a lovely shimmery base, then either apply just Busted into the crease and outer corner, or sometimes for more depth and drama I also add blackout to darken the look up. These are my favourite eyeshadows in the whole palette.

I have used every shadow in this palette at least once before and they are all very pigmented and easy to work with. They blend beautifully with any brush, not just the one that is provided, they all have a slight fall down to them but nothing major. The colours last all day and night and are extremely easy to remove.

I think that the naked 2 palette is such an amazing essential eyeshadow palette in every girls makeup collection! It's so difficult to find an eyeshadow palette with white, black AND everything inbetween all in one! It provides such a range of shades to try out different styles with and I absolutely love it! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is contemplating it. I know its a bit pricey, but for all the eyeshadows you get, plus a brush and a lipgloss, it is totally worth the money.
