Cropped Shirt and High Waist Jeans OOTD

I am completely in love with this shirt, it's cropped, a sheer shirt, pretty colours, and a collar. What more could you want?! I wear this shirt so much and tend to pair it with my zip sided jeggings which are a high waist, and i feel so comfortable, stylish and confident in it! Due to the shirt being sheer I do wear a cream bandeau underneath :)

A Beautiful Coverup

I really think Kimono's are beautiful, they are so floaty, delicate and sheer that they just ... make every outfit beautiful, but can have a more festival twist, depends on how you wear it I guess.

I totally love the beach look when it comes to Kimono's probably my favourite way to wear them with a bikini an shorts but I love just throwing it on over a crop top and jeans to make the look more pretty, and like you have made way more effort than you actually have!

All Kimonos were purchased from Quiz :) 

Any question leave in the comments!
Thanks for reading :)

MAC Prep+Prime Skin Base Visage

I really recently won this product when MAC stated they were doing a give-away with a batch of these it was basically first come first serve, so no kind of competition really, this is MAC's Prep+Prime Skin Base Visage* £21.

Personally I have never used a Primer before applying my foundation as I have always felt that it blends in and lasts particularly well. But both my mum and sister use Benefits Porefessional and really rave about it, so I felt like I should give a Primer a go when this give-away came up.

I love this product, it makes my skin into a silky smooth base ready for my make-up and it really does make my foundation blend better, I also feel like I don't need to use as much powder as I used to, because my foundation has blended better. And I have now purchased the full size as it's really worked well for me and I dance too and my make-up has lasted a lot longer after my lessons also, to the point I don't even need to touch up!
 

Happy reading my lovelies!!

Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner Review

This is absolutely wonderful! A delight to apply! I just ... I have no words.

Well I do...

Of course I do...

I always have an opinion haha!

I have used a few eyeliners over the years, and I thought I had found the perfect eyeliner to create the perfect cat eye when I picked up the Barry M Wink Marker Pen at the very reasonable price of £4.99..Until!! Benefit brought out their They're Real Push Up Liner, £18.50. I haven't used a gel liner before as I have been aware it's a lot more difficult to apply than Liquid liner or pencil. I have always preferred to use liquid liner to create a cat flick eye and pencil in my waterline, pencil works better on your lash line if you want it to be smudgy. But this brand new gel liner is brilliant, it's jet black which is hard to achieve with a liquid liner, and I would say it is easier to get a clean line purely because once liquid liners start drying out it is difficult to get a clean line. I can easily apply this liner over eyeshadow and it still glides on easily, whereas I have found eyeshadows can dry out a liquid liner. This liner is so smooth and just glides on easily, you don't have to go over the same place more than once, well sometimes I go over the point at my flick again just to ensure it is a sharp point!

It has a twist end which brings the eyeliner out of the end ... That sounds like it makes no sense but I had a mind block and can't think of another way of putting it ... You get my drift!


As you can see from my photos I applied the product to the back of my hand and then tried removing it with my normal make-up remover, Benefit's Remove it make-up remover £16.50, and I didn't get it off particularly well, and that was really scrubbing! And as I knew this was going to be the case from watching videos prior to the release, I purchased the all new They're Real Remover, and it's more of a cream based product which I applied to a cotton pad and rubbed gently over my hand and the product removed easily, I still end up with slightly balck areas around my eyes but I can just take that off with my usual remover.

When using the liner remember to only twist up the tiniest amount at a time! Also if you are going out to purchase it, remove the orange stopper and you have to twist the bottom a lot before you get the product out then rub off that first little bit that comes out as it can be a little dry!

I hope you love this little beauty as much as me!
Well done Benefit for creating something truly magical!!
