Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette.

Value-wise, this is great for neutral lovers since 1 eyeshadow for Urban Decay retails for £14 and thats not even taking into account they include a lipgloss and brush.
The synthetic brush is dual-ended with a rounded blending brush end and a flat brush end.
The palette contains 12 shadows, 3 of which are mattes (foxy, tease, blackout) and I think it's good  that they added a matte highlight shade and matte black in it.One thing that does slightly bug me about Naked 2 is the layout of shades. Naked original had a logical progression from light shade to dark.



But also while i was researching this product i came across alot of tutorials of people using mac fix+.
I decided to try out Fix+ and its safe to say it was worth £7.50 it sorted out my 'powdery' look issue after applying my foundation and powder and comes in handy for a good freshen up while out.
I good tip for the Naked palette is to keep it long lasting by simply spraying your eyeshadow brush with mac fix+ tap off any excess pigment from your eyeshadow choice and apply on your lid. 

Effortlessly Cool


I love her style its so effortless and i love the simple layering of the jumper and skirt.
Ive combined a few items on my wish list that are inspired by her but are also in my price range.
i  love her maxi skirt, infact all maxi skirts.... hers is from american apparel, but for something so basic, i dont think their skirt is the way to go.
Jumper-Zara £49.99 

Maxi Skirt-River island £25.99

Boots-River island £75.99

Tried and Tested – Red Lipstick

As Gwyneth Paltrow once said, "Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick."
Yes,abit pricey for the day to day purchases but this chanel lipstick in there new range Rouge Coco was worth every penny, i couldnt resist buying it after the many good reviews it was given,it’s creamy, long-lasting and absolutely glorious!

Military style

Left-Topshop  £65          Right- Primark £25

Little Lace Dress



H&M Lace Dress-£24.99
At the time of buying i couldnt decide whether I prefered it in black or cream. I suppose black is a little bit dressier for me and the cream could be added with a black blazer and wouldnt look to washed out...But the cream reminds me of something Olivia Palermo would wear and the buttons at the back add a little bit more sophistication, and that's always a good thing. What do you think?
