Make me up!

For my 16th birthday, I took a trip to Brown Thomas with my mom and finally got some decent make up! I got MAC. I've never had proper foundation, I've always used the cheap stuff so this was a treat for me! I'm going to give an account of each product (they'll all be glowing, believe me!), so enjoy! I've put the name of each at the bottom of the picture, so you know. Everything here, apart from the brushes is MAC.

Right, this is everything together - the make up, the brushes and the bag. The whole nine yards, you could say!

 First up are the brushes (as you may have already noticed!) - I didn't get them from MAC though, because I think most brushes do the same thing. These are from the body shop. I have a powder, foundation, blush and eye shadow. They're soft against my skin, and spread the foundation evenly. 

The foundation I have is NW20. I'm not that up on my make up that I know exactly what that is, however the shades go up in 5's, so the next one down is 15 and the next one up is 25. It came with a sponge however I use a brush because I think it spreads it more evenly but you can use either. 

NW20

There are two different types of blush - a 'wet' one and a powder one. I got the powder but my mom has the 'wet' one. There's not much difference in the colour, the wet one is just more like a foundation. The powder has a really nice shimmer in it, something that the 'wet' one is missing. 

Dainty

Eyeshadow! :D I never, ever wear eyeshadow because I think some of the strong colours can be a bit gawdy. But I love, love this colour! The picture doesn't do it justice. It's a light white-gold and it has tons of shimmer running through it. I love the look it gives your eyes, and the colour catches the light which gives extra dimension to your eyelid. 

A natural flirt

I got liquid concealer, and although it came with a small brush (in the pic!) I use the foundation brush to get it more even. This is the same tone as the foundation (NW 20). This is really good to cover redness and even out your skin before you put on the foundation.

And where would you be without a little lippy?! This colour is so nice. All you need is one layer as it stays on for ages. (It also smells really nice!) 

Captive (A82)

And then a slick of eyeliner! Eyeliner is my thing. If I could have only one item of make up, it would be eyeliner. It makes your eyes look instantly gorgeous and it makes them pop. You can't see the colour properly here, but it's a shiny brown...the shimmer in it compliments the eyeshadow when you wear them together. 

Lord it up

And after all that, I had get a bag to keep all of this safe! This is just a bag from Penneys, but I fell in love with it when I saw it! It's really stylish and the perfect size. I love the gold studs and zip. Some make up bags may as well be suitcases! I just wanted something small and handy. And that's exactly what I got! 

I didn't get mascara, as I didn't think there was much point. There's not much difference between the brands. The one I use at the moment is Essence. Nothing fancy but it does the job! ") x

Whatta Steal!

 Victoria Beckham is one of my favorite designers of late. But her price tags aren't everybody's friends! So I've come across a dress that is almost an exact replica of one of hers! You're welcome! ;) x

Look of the Week: Mollie King

It was so hard to choose a 'Look of the Week' but, it just had to be Mollie King's stylish coat. One of my favorite things for winter time are coats that you can put on and instantly have an outfit. And Mollie's is one of those. I love, love, love this! The black lining is such a small detail but it adds so much more to it. I love how she's teamed it with tan. It was hard to choose, but I think this outfit was definitely worthy!! x

High-waisted Love!

Posting my first full outfit today!! I know I haven't posted in a while...but I've been trying to figure out what to do on the blog...so I've come to a decision....I'll keep doing what I was doing but I'll just add in more of my own looks...I'd like to be able to make different pages but I haven't yet figured out how to do that! If anyone knows how...please leave a comment for me! Thanks! 

So here's my first full outfit for you guys! I just got these short in New Look the other day...I've been looking high and low for a pair of denim shorts and the fact that they're high-waisted was a bonus! You can't see it here, but there's an exposed zip in the back (gold-for extra luxury! ;) )....the small things add so much detail and style to them...here I've teamed them with this simple black and white t-shirt, black leggings, grey ugg boots and a maroon snood. I'm a sucker for all things black and white...and grey is my favorite colour (I know, boring!) but I never let my outfit go without a splash of colour...and this snood does exactly that. It's cosy and stylish-my kinda item! ;) This outfit is going to be my go-to look for emergencies! It's comfortable and stylish-what more could you want!?! x

Look of the Week

Pippa Middleton gets 'Look of the Week' this week....I haven't done this in a while-sorry for being MIA!! What an outfit Pippa showed up in earlier this week! The shape is fabulous....put any print on that and ti'll look amazing! Understanding what season we're in, Pippa keeps the colour scheme subtle and understated. I absolutely love the shape of this dress....she looks comfortable yet stylish! She's in the middle of promoting her new book Celebrations so there should be plenty more to come! Check back here! x

I want!!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while..I was having  some technical issues! Anyway, I'm back on track now and I've found a great site for all you fashionistas! www.thufri.com sells bags like the ones I've posted below...they're handbags on canvas bags, so you can go shopping in style! These ones are the biggest and most expensive-selling at $65.00, but they range from purses to make-up bags Instead of bringing an old straw one with you to Tesco, express your inner fashionista with one of these! Me likes!! ") x

Look of the Week

This was really supposed to be last week's 'Look of the Week', but, as you can see, it didn't happen...I've been MIA! But I'm back now "). Also, just to clarify, I decided against changing the address of my blog...It'll  stay 'fashionista1510.blogspot.com. Anyway, onto Pippa! She wore this dress at - yet another - wedding last week. Nude is really big right now, so she was right on trend. I like how she used different shades of essentially the same colour. The darker jacket, the lighter hat, not to mention that her hair compliments the colours perfectly! Her dress is fashion forward with the laser-cut design, but somehow it manages to still look elegant. So there you have it, the perfect wedding guest! (I think by now Pippa could write a book on it!) x
