review: mac mineralize satinfinish

sorry the bottles abit grubby! i have been using this for a while now

I bought this foundation from recommendation of the mac mua, after I explained I wanted a foundation that was suitable for my dry skin and had light-medium coverage. it applies really nicely with my elf studio powder brush, but once on my skin it feels abit greasy, compared to the mac select foundation that I had previously, so I need to cover with powder, which isn't very good. It offers nice coverage and is build-able, which is necessary I feel. I like this foundation better than the select one by mac and it gives much better coverage than the drug store brands, but I wouldnt say that it was a wonder foundation. I would like to try the nars sheer glow to see how it compares to that. what do you think? let me know.

redrock competition

the lovely people at redrock, who own a online boutique selling gorgeous customised vintage clothes, which you can browse here and on asos marketplace, are running a blogger competition to style an outfit from there website, so I thought id have a go. I chose these gorgeous 90s floral shorts to pair with this studded tee. I paired them with some jewelry and sunglasses from asos and a pair of jeffrey campbell litas. what do you think to my outfit. 

york

dress: alice takes a trip

cardigan: zara

shoes: office

bag: aldo 

last week me and sam took a spur of the moment trip to york. it was a lovely sunny day, and we walked along the cobbled streets, visited some quaint shops, and I ate a giant pizza for lunch. we had a lovely time, so I thought id post a few snaps from the day (taken kindly by sam) I love york, I even bought my year 11 prom dress from here. its only an hour away from my house so I dont know why I dont go alot more! it made a nice change from grimey sheffield. were going to bridlington next week for a few days with my grandparents and youngest cousins, so I cant wait for that and fingers crossed it doesnt rain.  

shes picture perfect

essie nail polish (shes picture perfect): asos [£5.50] 

ive wanted to try the essie polishes since they first came out,but at 7.99 from boots and 9.95 from asos! I couldnt justify paying that much. however when i saw this in the asos sale

i just couldnt say no. i ABSOLUTELY love it. the colour is like a pale lilac colour that glimmers slightly in the bottle, although on the nail it appears alot more one tone. it stayed chip free 

atleast 4 days without a top coat. ill defiantly be buying moreand i'm really tempted to purchase mintcandyapple that everyone seems to rave about. what do you think?

top: blue rinse

trousers: vintage

belt: urban outfitters

sunglasses: primark

jewelry: ladyluckrulesok, h&m, ebay 

so we finally had abit of sunshine today so I could finally take some outfit photos. These trousers are something I picked up from a vintage fair about 2 years back, and I saw them and I thought wow, but how would I wear them, and I took a risk and bought them and I think it paid off. I love them and I find they go with alot of things out of my wardrobe, although they are now discoloring a little which im devastated about. Today i've not really been doing alot, I went to my grandmas for a nice roast dinner (vegetarian style lol) and now i'm having a night in with my parents, watching that wage exposing programme. more soon. 

wet, wet, wet...

                   

top: topshop
skirt: forever 21
jewelry: topshop

sunglasses: primark
shoes: new look 

this is what I wore to go shopping the other day. I feel like im channeling the pilgrim look here, I know its summer and you're supposed to be wearing bright colour's but I cant resist classic black and white. I absolutely love this skirt that I bought when I was in forever 21 the last time I was in london, I snapped it up quick as it was the last one in my size. I also picked up these wedges last week from newlook, for £24.99 I couldnt resist, and they'll be perfect for my jollies. Its sam's birthday party tonight so I'm up in manchester all weekend, and then were off for a curry sunday night, going to be a busy weekend.

I finally took some outfit photos after continuously putting it off due to bad weather, good job too about 5 minutes after I took these photos it started chucking it down again. Its supposed to be july! This is my favourite way to style my denim shorts, I recently wore it to slam dunk festival back in may when it was boiling hot. I've not been doing much the last few days, me and sam went to see spider man yesterday, which was amazing! let me know what you think. Then I've been getting stuff ready because i'm moving into my new student house at the weekend, were having a big party on Saturday, I cant wait. Now to decide what to wear....
