MAC Look in a Box

Hello!

I picked up this Mac Look in a Box (All about Coral) set while I was on holiday in Mexico back in August. I haven't blogged about it yet as I wanted to try out the products first. 

I was very excited to get this set, as I don't own a lot of MAC products (due to their cost!) Seeing as I was on holiday, I wanted to treat myself!

The eyeshadow set contains 3 colours that I would use - yes! They apply easily and last for a very long time.

The lipstick was the main reason why I bought the box. The people in the shop couldn't even show me a sample because they said it was a Limited Edition lipstick. Whether that's true or not, who knows! I normally don't go for bright coral colours, but this surprisingly suits my pale skin. This has to be my favourite item from the box!

Although I loved the lipstick and eyeshadow, I wasn't overally wowed by the lipgloss or eyeliner. That's not to say they aren't good quality, however these are products that I don't use on a regular basis. I would love to have got pictures of this make up on, but I am only a casual make up user (meaning I only wear it on nights out and most Saturdays) so I haven't really had the chance to take any pictures of it. 

MAC now have some lovely xmas gifts on sale which I am eyeing up! I'm sure I'll be adding some make up products to my xmas list very soon!

Dogtooth and baby blue

Hello!

Another busy week at work. I only managed to snap pics of one work outfit this week, and my weekend outfit ended up being the same as last week as I loved it so much!

I wore this outfit to work twice this week. I am obsessed with dogtooth at the minute, so I couldn't resist picking up this skirt from H&M. I can't find a link to it online but it should still be in store! I am loving dogtooth paired with baby blue. Ideally I wouldn't wear 2 baby blue items but I am in love with both this jumper and coat! The boots were an extravagant purchase from ALDO several years ago. They have a small heel but are so comfortable I can wear them all day. Again, my face looks a bit of a fright, but I barely have time to wake up and I'm out the door in the morning ready for work!

Autumn winter New Look cape

Hello!

This outfit I wore for shopping in Bromley. It was a cold November day, but I knew I'd be in and out of the shops so I opted for this jumper/cape combo. I really love this outfit and can see myself wearing it again soon! I also love the ripped jeans. I really wanted a Topshop pair but found these in Primark for an amazing £13! Bargain :)

I got a visit from Izzy (one of the cats that live in my house)

Friday night at spoons

Hello!

After the week I had at work last week, a group of us decided to hit the pub for some much needed alcohol! We were just going to spoons, so I didn't want to dress like I was going clubbing, so I settled on this outfit. Rocking my AC/DC top and leather mini skirt with a check shirt to keep it casual. I had a lovely night, felt comfortable and got quite drunk! Wetherspoons sell Porn Star Martinis now - yes!!!

Working dogtooth at work

Hello!

Last Tuesday it was my first day at school with the kids, and this is what I wore. The children had to make a display and there were several funny drawings of me with a black and white dress! I am loving dogtooth so much this year. This dress is from Primark and is made from quite a thick material. It is very flattering too! I wore it with my pink New Look coat. This was bought last year, but it is very similar to the pink coats they sell in Primark this year. I have also started to wear hats a lot more this year! This beanie is a simple one from Primark, but I may have to buy it in another colour as it's only £2! Apologies for the lack of make up/tired expression - these were taken at 7:30am!

Topshop style

Hello!

This is an outfit I wore to Bluewater to go shopping last week. Most of the items are from Topshop, which is rare for me! I do love Topshop but often find items are quite expensive, so normally don't buy as much there. I have to admit I'm still not sure about the shoes/socks pairing. I was brave and went out wearing them like that, but I was a little out of my comfort zone! I mainly wore the shoes like that as it was my first time wearing them and I was worried about if they would rub or not, so added some socks for comfort. I'm not sure if I'll brave it again though!

(No links I'm afraid as most of these items were bought in the summer, or are from Primark!)
