My MAC Lipstick Collection

L-R Creme Cup, Hug Me, Please Me and Sunny Seoul

L-R Sweetie, Cosmo and Apres Chic

L-R Watch Me Simmer, Viva Glam Nicki and Charmed I'm Sure

Hello Lovelies. Today I wanted to share with you my MAC lipstick collection. I currently have 10 MAC lipsticks, some I wear to death, others not so much. They are my favourite brand of lipstick and I think everyone should own at least one, although that is rather difficult seeing as there are so many shades to choose from!

The shades I have are:

Creme Cup - Cremesheen

Hug Me - Lustre

Please Me - Matte

Sunny Seoul - Cremesheen

Sweetie - Lustre

Cosmo - Amplified

Apres Chic - Cremesheen

Watch Me Simmer - Amplified

Viva Glam Nicki - Satin

Charmed I'm Sure - Matte (limited edition) 

My all time favourite is Creme Cup, I always go back to this one if I cant decide what to wear or I want a really natural look. However I recently bought Hug Me which is did a review on here and that is also, quickly becoming a firm favourite of mine. As you can see I tend to go for pinks and subtle colours but I think for summertime I'll definitely be stocking up on some bright shades.

What shades would you recommend? Im always looking for new colours to purchase and add to my collection :)

Hey Everyone! I hope you've all had a lovely, relaxing weekend enjoying the much warmer weather than we've been used to. I've been working the entire weekend so I haven't had the chance to soak up the sunshine but I now have two days off so fingers crossed it doesn't rain or turn cold again, I'm craving some warm weather right now! Anyway, I wanted to share with you a few things I purchased in London last week after I got paid. I didn't go totally crazy, even though I easily could have, there are so many cute things in the stores at the moment.

First up, I popped into MAC on the off chance that they might have some x15 Pro Palettes. They have been out of stock in the stores and online for ages and i was getting a bit fed up of having all my eyeshadows in quads. Well I was in luck! They had picked a few up at a trade show and only had 3 left. I was so excited, I instantly said I'd take one. I was one very happy customer indeed. Secondly, I was roaming around Topshop and had picked up this simple cream t-shirt. An ideal casual top to pair with jeans or shorts for one of those days and was just queuing up when I spotted this amazing bright pink purse. I have been searching for a new purse for so long! Mine had become all dirty and scratched and just looked awful. However, I am very fussy, I like big purses with plenty of card space and are easy to find in my bag. This was the one I had been waiting for. A gorgeous bright pink with lots of space. I loved it straight away and took it with me to the till.

Next are these two gorgeous pairs of shorts from Forever 21. It's not like I necessarily needed more shorts but these were at such a good price, I just couldn't walk away. I picked up a pair of candy striped shorts which are so comfy and would look perfect once the sun was shining with a cute t-shirt and were only £16. A total bargain as far as I'm concerned! Then I came across these really simple red denim shorts which I instantly fell in love with. I adore bright shorts, I just think they really brighten up an outfit and look great with a white tee. You wouldn't believe how much these cost me, £10! I actually couldn't believe it when I read the tag, I don't think I have ever paid £10 for a pair of shorts at their full price. Amazing! Also from Forever 21, I picked up this grey t-shirt. Very casual but looked great with both pairs of shorts I'd just found. Its made from that really soft material that hangs really nicely.

I then picked up these very cute pair of Toms from Office. How sweet are they? I love the fact they are red and the white dots just make them look a little bit different. I love Toms, I bought a floral pair last year and lived in them the entire summer. They are so comfortable too. I managed to walk round all of Rome and New York in them and they didn't rub my feet once. I was super excited to get another pair and they were in the sale, so they only cost me £30. Yay! Lastly, I cant go to London without having a look in Victoria's Secret. I just adore all their products but it can be pricey. I picked up this body mist from their Pink range and it smells amazing. It just reminds me of summer, sunshine and holidays. Just what I need right now.

So there you have it, my London haul. Have you guys purchased anything really cute lately?

Spring Style

Polyvore - princessluci

Hey My Lovelies. Hope you've all had a great week so far and are excited for the weekend. I'll be working I'm afraid but thats what comes with working in retail I guess. Boo! Todays post is about springtime style and some of my must haves.

First up, I think everyone needs that perfect pair of jeans. Goodbye dark colours and hello to refreshing, medium washes. They instantly brighten up an outfit and take it from a winter look to something much more spring. Secondly, seeing as english springtime is much more like everywhere else's winter, a light weight jumper is a must. It saves having to worry about a cardigan or light jacket and looks super stylish and casual. I love this mint green Wildfox one. Its such a lovely colour and makes me think of sunshine.

Now I don't know about you, but I am a little bit fed up of wearing my wintery boots. So when the weather gets a little warmer I love to slip on a nice pair of trainers or Toms. Im really craving a pair of converse at the moment like these ones. Lastly springtime means ditching those black handbags and digging out cross body bags in lots of different shades. This Rebecca Minkoff bag is to die for! I just love the style and colour and if the price wasn't so high, I'd definitely treat myself to one.

On to cosmetics. Spring wouldn't be spring without pastel nail polishes and pink lipsticks. This gorgeous lilac Essie polish is so stunning and the perfect shade for a springtime look. And you can't go wrong with a classic MAC lipstick in a light shade of pink. Last of all is fragrance. I'm a huge fan of Coco Chanel but sometimes, when the weather is slightly warmer, I like to try a lighter scent. Daisy is very simple and light and the perfect finishing touch to any springtime look.

So there you have it, my first season style post. I thought I'd give it a go and do something slightly different. I hope you enjoyed it. :)

Love

The Neon Trend

Polyvore princessluci

Hey Guys! Today is just a quick post about a trend that I'm seriously loving right now, the neon trend. When summer comes around and the sun is shining I always want to wear something bright to match my mood, plus it makes such a change from the usual drab clothes we end up wearing the majority of the year due to our rainy, english weather. 

The neon trend screams summer to me and I just cant wait till I can dig out those crazy nail polishes and lipsticks. Thats not to say you cant enjoy neons right now. There are so many make up brands selling bright lipsticks, eye shadows and nail polishes all year round. I'd recommend China Glaze for neon polishes. Every year they release a new neon collection which consists of various pinks, yellows, greens and purples, certain to hurt your eyes. They don't hold back on the brightness either, but thats what you want from a bright polish. Right? 

As for lipsticks or eye shadows, MAC is definitely the place to go. As you probably know, they have such a huge range of colours to choose from, you are bound to find that perfect bright shade. They have also recently re-released 'Candy Yum Yum' which is a stunning neon pink lipstick. It's something I have my eye on thats for sure.

If you want to go for something that stands out a bit more, then try and get hold of some cute shorts in a neon pink or green. Maybe a bright t-shirt to brighten up those skinny jeans. There are hundreds of ways to embrace this trend and there is something for everyone.

 I cant wait! Can you?

Small Boots Haul

Hey Everyone, hope you're all having a great week so far. Todays post is about a few things I picked up today. So I went into Boots to get a few essentials and as always I got totally distracted. I don't know if anyone else is like that but I can spend ages wandering around Boots, checking out all the new products and offers. Im a total nightmare! They had 3 for 2 on all cosmetics and 3 for 2 on all hair care. Obviously I had to take advantage of this and ended up buying a few things that weren't on my list. I told you.. total nightmare! So here is what I bought...

1. Real Techniques Core Collection Brushes £21. I've wanted this set of brushes for quite a while but have never got round to buying them. Seeing as it was 3 for 2 on cosmetics and accessories I thought now would be a good time. I do own a couple of Real Techniques brushes and they are by far my favourite. The bristles are really soft and I love the fact the handles are coloured according to what they are used for. I think I'll do a post on them at some point to give them a full review.

2. John Frieda Luxurious Volume Shampoo and Conditioner £5.89. I have very fine hair and always need a bit of a boost to give it some body. I love trying out different volume shampoos and seeing what difference they make to my hair and whether they actually work! This is my second bottle of this shampoo, I loved it so much. I think it really gives my hair that much needed volume and smells fantastic. So I decided to purchase another one and the conditioner to match. Might as well have the complete set after all.

3. Blink Intensive Tears Eyedrops £6.49. This one isn't very exciting but I thought I'd include it all the same. Since about February I have suffered with very dry eyes and they can be quite uncomfortable so these eyedrops are my life saver! They just make my eyes feel refreshed and moisturised. A must have in my bag!

4. Maybelline Colossal Volume Mascara £7.19. I bought the smokey version of this mascara before and I loved it so I thought I'd give this 100% black version a go. It just makes my eyelashes look super long and very black, something I find very important in a mascara. It also doesn't smudge under the eyes which is definitely a plus.

5. Revlon Nail Art £7.99 each. Anyone who knows me, knows that I love nail polish. So when I saw these I knew I had to have them. They do three different types. Moon Candy which has 3D sparkles,  Neon which has a white polish to go underneath to make it pop and Expressionist which includes a skinny brush to paint patterns with. Obviously seeing as it was 3 for 2, I bought one of each. I got them in the colours 'Eclipse', 'Pink Glow' and 'Silhouette'. I cant wait to try them out! No doubt I'll be posting photos on Instagram in the next few days.

So there you have it, some of the products I purchased today. Have you tried any of these products? What did you think?
