I bet you guys know what I'm going to say but I CAN'T believe its the end of February!! How quickly has that gone, crazy! Anyway this is going to be a long one(I'll try and be brief) guys so get comfy aha:)

Mac Palette (Woodwinked, Mulch, Satin Taupe, Twinks)

I finally filled my Mac palette with the addition of Twinks. I really love this palette and I honestly can't wait to purchase another one and start filling that. My favourite one at the moment has to be Twinks, its such a lovely plumy brown that really brings out my hazel and green eyes!

Revlon ColourStay Foundation

This has reappeared into my daily routine. I just love this foundation, perfect for those with oily skin! I usually mix this with a BB cream to give a more natural coverage but I find if I apply the foundation with my hands and then use a buffing brush over the top, this gives a really flawless natural look.

Stila Smudge Pot in Kitten*

I honestly don't know why some people don't like this. Its a beautiful colour that I've loved wearing underneath my Mac eyeshadows, its texture is slightly different to other cream shadows but it blends really well and stays put all day!

MUA Blusher in Shade 6

A really lovely dusty pink blusher with a slight shimmer to it. I love this because its almost like a highlighter and blusher in one, perfect for the lazy like me.

Essie Nail Polish in Stylenomics

This is such a gorgeous dark nail polish. A very very dark petrol colour that is verging on being black, absolutely stunning and well worth a try if you like vampy polishes.

17 Eyeshadow Trio in 'In The Nude'

The brown eyeshadow out of this palette is stunning (you can see i've already made a dent in it), a lovely mid-brown with a slight satin finish. Really nice for those more natural days, just a sweep of this over the lids makes a subtle Olsen-esque smokey eye.

Soap & Glory 'The Righteous Butter'

This smells divine!! Very heavily scented but it amazing when slathered on after a shower.

Lush 'Mask of Magnaminty'

When I first bought this but I wasn't at all impressed, but thats probably because I was using it as a scrub. Once used properly as a face mask it is amazing. Clears my skin up completely when i have a breakout!

The Body Shop Shea Butter Shower Cream

This is a really creamy shower gel that I find extremely moisturising, and plus it smells amazingg! I don't shower without this now aha.

Garnier Soothing Eye Makeup Remover

I bought this up on a whim because I was in need of a new makeup remover. It removes every trace of eye makeup with minimal scrubbing. Seriously makes taking eye makeup off so easy!!

I hope that wasn't too long aha!

JUMPER - Primark, JEANS - Warehouse, BOOTS - eBay, BAG - Primark, NECKLACE - Select

I always find the best bargains in the mens section of Primark, this gorgeous jumper was only £7!! Its so thick and cosy and i love the chocolatey colour of it, definitely a winner in my eyes!
Anyway this is a pretty simple shopping outfit for me, I can't get enough of these boots, they seriously go with so many things so I think you'll be seeing them for a while longer yet aha:)

Another thing I've been meaning to mention for a while now is these jeggings. They are literally the best jeans/jeggings in the whole world. I have not found anything else like them, even in Topshop where I love their jeans. They are jeggings but they are very thick jeggings, so without the elasticated waistband you would never guess they were jeggings. However unlike most jeggings they stay super tight. I usually find myself washing my jeans every few wears in order to keep them tight fitting but I could wear these everyday for a week and they'd still be skin tight at the end of the week, amazing!! You can find them here they usually have them in pretty much every season, my go to jeans!

Custom iPhone Case from CaseApp - £24* 

I recently got sent a custom iPhone case from CaseApp which I was so excited about. I've only ever had a boring black case for my iPhone and its safe to say its been pretty bashed about and I was well overdue a new one. I loved the idea that you can customise the case and use your own photos, its means your phone will be unique and with the amount of iPhones there are around I think thats a really good idea! Anyway I went for this beautiful sunset photo, I hadn't really seen anything else like it around and I just thought it was a really lovely photo. I decided to stick with the one photo but you can go for multiple pictures and even text to customise your case.

I'm so happy with this iPhone case, it came within a week and it feels really sturdy and hard wearing which is great for me, the amount I throw my phone around aha! At £24 including delivery I think its a bargain for what you are actually getting. Highly recommended, ever since I've got mine I just can't help displaying it on the desk/table I'm sitting at where ever I go, I've also received loads of lovely compliments about it with people asking where I got it from! Its nice telling them that its a one-off aha.

CaseApp have also been kind enough to offer my readers a chance to win a gift card for a custom made case. I know I'm already running a 250 Follower giveaway but I love my iPhone case so I couldn't say no to a chance for you guys to win one too. Giveaway is international and will run for two weeks, ending on the 11/3/13.
Rules are:
- Must follow me by GFC

FUR COAT - Asos, TSHIRT - DIY, LEATHER LEGGINGS - Miss Selfridge, CONVERSE - Schuh, WATCH - Fossil, JEWELlERY - Topshop

After falling in love with the Zara 'Breakfast, Coffee, Pancakes', at £20 I just couldn't justify that on a t-shirt. So instead I thought it'd be fun to make my own, I used a basic Primark Mens t-shirt and some normal bleach and simply painted on the words and this was the result. I was pretty pleased with it and it was much cheaper than £20!
I paired it with my trusty leather leggings, I have seriously worn these babies to death, its probably about time I bought some new ones but again I'm trying not to spend money so they'll have to wait aha!

I got this for Christmas and I can't believe I'm only just getting around to reviewing it! Everytime I went into the Body Shop I went and smelt this because it smells so good, almost like the chewable vitamin c tablets you can get (Bassets, I think?). I love to use this as a primer although you can use it straight after moisturiser as well, it provides a really nice base. Its very velvety smooth and really smooths out the skin texture and lifts it as well. If you like primers which correct pigment etc then this isn't for you, it simply adds a lift and radiant glow to the face. Its not a hugely noticeable difference but I think it makes my face look happier aha, if that makes sense! It is a silicone based primer, so I'd avoid it if you don't like them but for me I personally really enjoy using this. Its nothing too special but it is something I find myself reaching for most days and I find that I'm happier with my makeup when wearing this underneath!!

Worth a try if you are yet to find a primer you like:)

Marc B Giselle Bag

ASOS Eric Hart Dress

ASOS Levi Sleevless Jacket

ASOS Heeled Chelsea Boots
ASOS Red Knitted Beanie
ASOS Stack of Rings
ASOS Michael Kors Watch

This is my entry for the e-tailwebstores most recent competition including £75 Marc B voucher and a £175 ASOS voucher.
I am in love with both Marc B bags and ASOS clothes so it would be amazing to win this. Anyway I chose this dress to go with the monochrome trend and despite it being quite expensive I absolutely love it, especially the cut out shoulders. I chose to make it quite casual by adding the sleeveless denim jacket and red beanie, this would make it more wearable for daytime. I then added a pair of heeled chelsea boots, a stack of rings and an amazing Michael kors watch! I think this outfit is pulled together by the gorgeous Marc B bag!! Not the cheapest outfit but I really like all the items I've chose.

What do you think?

TOP - Primark, JEANS - Warehouse, WATCH - Fossil, CONVERSE - Schuh, BAG - eBay, JEWELLERY - Topshop

This outfit to be quite honest is my daily uni outfit. I love how casual and simple it is, and also so comfy!! I went home last weekend and went on a little shopping spree! I also finally gave in and bought the famous Joni jeans from Topshop; I gulped at the price and so hopefully I'll get my wear out of them.

This top is also a rare find from Primark, I think it looks like something you would find in Topshop, so I was so pleased to find it in Primark for £6!

On another note, I'm so disappointed with this bag, I bought it back in September for uni and although I know its fairly cheap and from eBay, I expected it to last longer than 6 months. Seriously it is literally falling apart in my hands, not happy aha:(

I hope you all had a lovely weekend.

Yet another cream eye shadow, I know! I have way too many but I just love how they act as a base and can also be used alone, any product that can be used in two ways is a plus for me:). Anyway this beautiful colour is a MeMeMe Dew Pot in the colour 'Autumn Smoulder' and I can't stop wearing it. Its the perfect plum brown colour that I have been loving wearing under Mac's Twinks for a gorgeous plum smokey eye. They seriously are the perfect match and they make hazel/green eyes like mine really pop!

The Dew pots are a lot creamier than any other cream eyeshadow I've tried, whilst others have the tendancy to be a little sticky as they are acting like a primer, this is definitely a creamy one! At first, when I swatched it, I thought it was going to end up slipping about and creasing incredibly easily and on its own I think it would. But as soon as you put a powder eyeshadow over the top it really stays put, I always wear a primer as well as this but thats because I have incredibly oily eyelids, those of you with normal eyelids should be fine without a primer. It blends out really nicely and I really think it adds depth to any eyeshadow that you wear over the top. A firm favourite I think, I can't wait to try more colours:)

You can find these for £7.25 at Superdrug.

Have you tried these?
