Camo OOTD

Hey guys!

While I wait for my family to arrive to have a lil belated celebration for my brothers 17th birthday, I thought I would do a little 'outfit of the day' or 'what I wore today' post. It's nothing too fancy, just the kind of thing that I wear when I know I'm not leaving the house, but still want to look decent so my family don't tear me to shreds. Also note that the leggings are worn mostly for the fact that there will be roti, curry goat and an abundance of chicken in my house...yeah I'm going to need the stretch! lol

I'm wearing:

- Camouflage Jumper from Topshop £35

- Black Ponti Panel Leggings from River Island £20

- Black Nike Blazers from Office £67.99

- Michael Kors watch from Harrods £240

- Peace Sign Earrings from River Island £3

Hope you enjoyed reading! :) 

Shopping Itch.

Do any of you ever get that massive urge to go shopping? It's almost like an itch. You don't really need anything, yet at the same time you feel like life has no meaning until you go and spend some money? Well I've had that feeling for the past two weeks and today I succumbed and let my debit card loose on Brent Cross. I didn't go too overboard though. I started off with three lipsticks from MAC...

MAC lipsticks are £14 each.

'Honey Love' is a nude with pink undertones. It has a Matte finish.

'Rebel' is a deep purple with a Satin finish.

'Pink Plaid' is a light pink with a Matte finish.

I can't wait to try these out! 

And I finished off with these two items from River Island. The jumper really caught my eye and I decided to buy it because I don't own much pink (which is probably hard to believe considering how girly I am). I've also been eyeing up the leggings for a while now. I've never really had any heavy duty leggings and these should keep me warm during the winter :)

Hope you enjoyed reading! Leave any comments below :)

Ombre Lips.

Hi guys!

This post really is just all about my latest obsession when it comes to applying my lipstick...and that is creating ombre lips! I love doing it with two different shades of purple and whether you love it or hate it, it definitely demands attention :)

I used Collection 2000 'Mudslide' on the outside of my lips, filled in the middle with CoverGirl Lip Perfection in 'Divine' and then blended by rubbing my lips together. However you can use purples from any other brand and long as you have a dark shade and a light shade. It's really so easy to do, just make sure that you line your lips with either a brown or purple lipliner to stop the lipstick from bleeding.

I also love using the same technique with pink lipstick. For that look I use MACs 'Girl About Town' with NYXs 'Fig'.

If you need any suggestions of shades or brands to use then drop a comment below and I'll get back to you ASAP :)

NYX. BLACK. FRIDAY.

If you're a lover of NYX Cosmetics like I am, then here's a little heads up...they'll be doing a UK 'Black Friday' sale (23/11/12), where they'll be giving 20% off all of their products. I'm already excited and ready to spend my entire evening filling my online shopping basket. Because they are an online brand, if you're curious to see the true shade of their products before you buy, visit YouTube. There's always a blogger who's already tried and tested a product, preventing you from making any questionable decisions lol 

Here are a few of the products I'm thinking about buying (all prices mentioned are before discount is given):

Happy shopping!!! :) 

"Tattoo your name across my heart..."

Yes the title is a Beyonce lyric. I just couldn't help my myself.

But anyway...I thought I'd make a quick post about my new tattoo. If you're on Instagram you'd have seen it already but since so many people have heard me nattering on about the idea for my new tattoo for the past year, I thought it's only fair that I share it on here too. :) 

 It's a heart shaped padlock which features a gypsy girl and a rose and it's meant to represent the fact that I wear my heart on my sleeve. Sometimes it's a positive and sometimes it's to my detriment. I'm one of those stereotypical soppy, emotional girls I'm ashamed to say lol. I've had quite a few people ask if the girl is black or white, but I would say neither. To me she's ambiguous. It's on the inside of my right arm and yes it hurt like a bitch. I've had two tattoos prior to this one, but this was the most painful by far. This was due to the fact that the skin on the inside arm is quite thin and sensitive since it doesn't get much exposure to the elements. These pictures were taken the same night I got it done (Thursday). At the moment it's in its healing process which means A LOT OF PEELING, so I can't really show it off at the moment :( lol

I got it done at Black Garden Tattoo by Cesar Mesquita (follow him on Instagram he's amazing!) and it cost £320. He's a really funny guy and he keeps you distracted throughout the whole process, which was around 2 and a half hours.

So that's my update done. If you have any questions leave them in the comment box below! :)
