mac creme cup lipstick

mac lipstick in creme cup (£13.50)
Bought this lipstick recently when I ordered my Naked2 palette. I do like me a nice cremesheen formula, very moisturising with good colour payoff and a glossy finish. Perfect! I have quite pigmented lips I think, so a lot of nude pink shades look a bit weird on me but this lightens up the colour quite nicely! I usually apply it straight from the bullet then dab it with a (clean) finger. Nice for daytime or when I'm on the go and don't have a mirror to hand!

I've bought/received a few MAC lipsticks recently, so there are several other posts very similar to this one coming up. I hope nobody gets bored! Do you have a favourite MAC lipstick? Or any other lipstick for that matter?

rainbow

  jumper: topshop
disco pants: american apparel
Bought this jumper a few weeks ago now and haven't got around to wearing it. Partly because it's that awkward length (bought a 12, swapped for an 8 for a smaller fit and then didn't like it so fitted so got a 12 again) and I wasn't sure about what to wear it with. I just love it though, the colours remind me of a zap lolly from afar but all the shades are a lot brighter up close! It's just lovely and it's really soft too. May pair it with a white shirt underneath in future.

I have a dead arm right now from writing for 6 hours. Who said graphic design was all computer programs and paint? Pretty sure I never want to hear the phrase 'neocolonialism' ever again.

moroccanoil hair treatment

moroccanoil treatment: feelunique (£30.45)

After wanting to try this product for what felt like forever, my Kerastase hair oil finally ran out a few weeks ago and I decided to try this one for a change. I don't find it as thick as my old one and it seems 'wetter' as silly as that sounds? I really love the smell of it though (quite manly but it's still nice!) and am enjoying using it. I don't really know if it's that different to the Kerastase one, I like both! I think all high end hair oils (not just cooking oils etc. because they make my hair smell funny) do pretty much the same job. Probably placebo effect but still! I do think the product is pricey but bear in mind a 125ml bottle lasted me well over a year, and that's without rationing it - I like to use it before I dry my hair, after I dry my hair and randomly throughout the day to smooth my hair down and just generally pamper it a bit. So overall I really like this product. It feels really luxe and makes my hair feel healthier as well as giving the ends some extra shine. I definitely recommend using a hair oil but it's totally up to you which one you choose (I also like the Macadamia one).

black velvet

  dress: topshop
kimono: topshop
item: prettybowpeep*
nails: opi sparrow me the drama
Lazy day today, making the most of the bad weather outside and getting stuff done. Which of course includes a couple of outfit posts as I'm back at uni now! Got this black velvet skater dress in the sale a few weeks ago, it's a size 6 and therefore it's also now a 'fat day' dress that will automatically help me to feel better when I don't feel so good! Paired it with my third crochet kimono (I got this one on eBay!) so I wasn't being too goffik in all black as always.

Was sent this cute arty-inspired ring last week. I love it but it seems to make my finger go purple. My fault for having sausage fingers I guess. Seriously why does it look so tight even though it doesn't feel it? Troll finger. Now time to go cry into some pudding with full fat custard. Or something. Zzzzz.

Sarah posted a feature/illustration over on her blog. Thanks so much Sarah, I love it! Take a look!

PS. 100th episode of Gossip Girl next week! The sooner Chair get married and have babies the better. Le sigh.
