Neon Pink Stripes

When I spotted this jumper on ASOS I didn't have to think twice about clicking the 'add to bag' button. Stripes (you know I love anything stripey...), warm and neon pink is my definitely my idea of a fun winter jumper! Last Sunday was a stunner of a day so I went for a lovely walk in Kensington Park Gardens with the parents who were visiting for the weekend...

Jeans - Abercrombie & Fitch

Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars

I love the navy blue detailing on the sleeves plus it's super comfy. And for only £27.99 I think it's quite a steal. I am a bit worried that my stripes 'obsession' is getting slightly out of hand though. Today I was in Zara and I tried on four striped jumpers. I really wanted to buy them all but managed to control myself and not buy any.... but think I will end up going back to make this one mine - oh oh ;)

Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara!

People say that good things come in small packages, and with this bottom lash mascara Clinique totally proves that to be true! I realise I am a little late jumping on the bandwagon for this much hyped about product but I always just thought..why would anyone need a special bottom lash mascara and just wrote it off as another gimmicky makeup item. But do I wear mascara on my bottom lashes? Yes everyday! I feel it opens and frames my eyes, especially since my lashes are fair but I always used the same mascara as for the top lashes. At a recent Clinique event I found this little tube in my goodie bag and was curious to finally put it to the test to see if it really was good as people claimed...

Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara is basically a baby mascara bottle (2ml) with a miniature wand to allow perfect application of the mascara into your bottom lashes, it even reaches all those tricky-to-reach lashes!

The best thing about this little beauty however is its formula! Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara is made from a polymer formula that will not budge, smudge of flake, but as soon as bath water temperature water hits it, the mascara "relaxes" and can be removed easily!

I had pretty much accepted the fact that the mascara on my bottom lashes would always flake or smudge throughout the day but NO MORE! I was super impressed with the lasting-power of this bottom lash mascara. My bottom lashes still look black, defined and pretty after a long day at work...plus it even withstood the gym test!

I am officially a changed woman and will definitely repurchase this product over and over! Have you tried the Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara?

Available in Black and Black/Brown. Allergy Tested. 100% Fragrance Free. Ophthalmologist Tested. Safe for sensitive eyes and contact wearers. Bottom Lash Mascara, 2.5ml - RRP £10.00/€14.00.

Tumblr - Life is like a box of chocolates....

I am a big lover of beautiful images and quotes to inspire me in life and I’m already addicted to Pinterest (follow me: link) to collect and organise my favourite things onto mood boards. I also knew of Tumblr’s existence, which is a very popular micro-blogging platform, but I just hadn’t got involved….mainly for the fact that I don’t really need another procrastinating pastime in my life ;) But after someone pointed out the website to me again last week I decided to take the plunge and sign up and it’s now fair to say I am completely hooked! I actually saw this quote on Tumblr today and think it sums the whole concept up quite nicely...

“A person’s Tumblr tells a lot about them. It shows what kind of images they see in their head, who they love, who they hate, even what they think about other people. But most of all – has all the words they never said to people, all the words they couldn’t have said but should have said.”

Check out my Tumblr page here. Are you on Tumblr? If you are, leave me a comment with a link to your page because I would love to find more great people to follow to share the love of images.
 

 

Probably one of my favourite quotes:
"Life is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you are going to get!"

And it's that time of the week again. Loving this....

Happy Hump Day everyone :)

LOOK Beauty - Nail Pop in City NOTD

Did you know that UK LOOK magazine has their very own high street make-up range called LOOK Beauty; which is designed, tested and worn by the beauty brains from the magazine? Their collection contains lots of great products for your eyes, face, lips and nails and prices start from only £4 for say an eyeshadow and go up to £18 for a Glow, Bronze and Sculpt Kit. Plus a donation a donation will be given to their cancer charity, Look Good, Feel Beter, for every LOOK Beauty product sold.

The people at LOOK Beauty send me one of their Nail Pop shades recently, which I was more than happy to put to the test! Nail Pop promises hard-wearing, colour perfect nails in 30 trendy shades. I was sent the shade City...



City is a dark taupe grey shade. The formula is smooth, pretty fast drying and easy to apply. I found it was opaque and had a lovely shiny finish after just two coats. Overall I was pretty impressed and I love this shade for winter!

Nail Pop polishes are priced at £5 and you can buy them on the LOOK Beauty website or at Superdrug.
