Makeup of the Day & Outfit | Casual

♥ Makeup of the Day & Outfit 

Hi everyone! Today I have decided to post a more casual look of the day. My makeup is a lot softer than in yesterday's post and can be worn as an everyday makeup look. I have listed the products I used to create this look below.

Makeup Products Used:
Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation 
Collection 2000 Long Lasting Perfection Concealer
Rimmel Pink Rose Blush
Maybelline Ambre Rose Lipstick
Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette 
Rimmel Liquid Eyeliner
MAC Eyelashes


For my outfit today, I have gone for a very simple and casual look. It is very hard dressing for the weather at the moment as it is not really cold but it's not actually warm either. I have decided to go for a slouchy cardigan, a vest top, blue jeans and a pair of heeled sandals to match my cardigan. The cardigan and jeans were bought from Fashion Union, the sandals were bought from New Look and the vest top was recently purchased from ASOS. I love wearing necklaces and because I have gone for a simple look, I have decided to go for a small subtle necklace which are little angel wings bought from ASOS.

I absolutely love slouchy cardigans, they are just so comfortable and you can throw them on over pretty much any simple outfit to add a little something. This is definitely a look I will be wearing a lot more during the transition to summer. I hope you all enjoyed this fashion post.

OOTN & Makeup | All White Everything

♥ White Outfit of the Night 

Hi everyone! I recently made two orders online from Missguided and Asos: a white skirt, a white halterneck top, a pair of nude heels, a clutch bag and a necklace. I am a little obsessed with crop tops and high wasted skirts at the moment. I couldn't resist going on a mini shopping spree and buying some clothes! I put together below an outfit which I will be wearing tomorrow for a night out. I have also listed below the makeup products I used to create this look.

The top worn below is the Missguided 'Edeva Halterneck Crop Top in White' £7.00: 
The skirt is the Missguided 'Akseline White Stripe Mesh Midi Skirt' £14.99:
The heels are the Missguided 'Caitlin Cut Out Court Shoes in Nude' £24.99:

Makeup Products Used:
MAC Studio Fix Fluid NC40
MAC Moisturecover Concealer NW25
MAC Bronzing Powder
MAC Pro Longwear Blush Whole Lotta Love
Rimmel Liquid Eyeliner
MAC Eyelashes
Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette 
ELF Mineral Lipstick Rich Raspberry 

♥ Celebrity Inspired Looks 

This look was very inspired by the recent trend of celebs pairing white crop tops with high wasted white skirts. I think this look is very classy and can be worn for any evening occasion. Out of the looks below, my favourite is definitely Kylie Jenner's outfit. I love the combination of the chunky necklace and gold bracelet. 

I hope you enjoyed this fashion post :)

Mac Cosmetics | Haul

♥ MAC Cosmetics | Haul  
I couldn't resist buying some more Mac products. I will hold my hands up and admit 'I am a MAC addict'. The products I purchased were: Two Mac eye shadow's in Shroom and Handwritten, MAC Pro Longwear Blush Whole Lotta Love, MAC Eyelashes, MAC Moisturecover Concealer NW25, Two MAC Lipstick's in Angel and Ruby Woo.


The MAC Angel Lipstick is such a gorgeous colour. It's a very soft, baby pink shade which gives a really nice subtle shimmer to the lips. Its great for an every day makeup look as it is a very natural pinky nude colour which is perfect for that natural makeup look.


After swatching the Angel Lipstick, I realised that it is very similar to the Maybelline 112 Ambre Rose Lipstick when applied to the lips. If you are on a budget, I definitely would say that you could get away with using the Ambre Rose Lipstick and still have a very similar finish to the MAC Angel Lipstick. They are both baby pink and still provide that subtle shimmer to the lips.


Left MAC Angel £15.00
Right Maybelline Ambre Rose £4.99


I was really excited to purchase MAC's Ruby Woo. I have never worn red lipstick before in my life, I usually tend to stick to more neutral pinks and nudes. However, after watching tutorials on YouTube I soon realised that this would be a great colour to have in my makeup collection for a nice bold evening makeup look. I am now looking forward to experimenting with this colour!

MAC Ruby Woo £15.00

MAC Cosmetics | Mini Haul

♥ MAC Cosmetics | Mini Haul  
Over the weekend, I decided to spalsh a little on some MAC makeup products. For as long as I can remember, I have always alternated between two foundations - Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation and MakeupForever HD. I had never really felt the need to go out and try something new as both of these foundations are great in my opinion.


After quite some time deliberating, I decided to take the leap and try out a new foundation - Studio Fix Fluid NC40. Before committing to buy the product, I checked out the reviews and it seemed to be a popular foundation within the MAC brand with the majority of reviews being positive. Whilst browsing, I couldn't help but add a few extra MAC items to the checkout which caught my eye.

♥ MAC Satin Lipstick | Pink Nouveau 


It was a pretty big gamble parting ways with hard earned cash without actually seeing the product in front of me. It is extremely difficult to get a feel of the colour from the colour-charts provided online. I was looking for a very pretty, girly pink which would give my lips a really nice pop of colour. I was certainly not disappointed when I opened the packaging. The pink is bright, but not overpoweringly bright - It is simply a gorgeous shade.


The majority of lipsticks that I own either have no smell, or have a strange hard-to-describe scent to them. To my surprise, this lipstick smells literally like cupcakes. It glides on so smoothly and doesn't require re-application over and over again for the colour to show. This is definitely one of my favourite lipsticks at the moment.

♥ I would definitely recommend this product | 9.5 / 10
