September: Mini Haul

Being overly organised mixed with excitement for this Froray. I have had a little splurge and bought a new lipstick and nail varnish (but I saw it in Elle and had to give the shades a try!) This is how my mission panned out;

I have fallen head over heels for autumn's new berry (a take on vampy lips and nails) pallette. Im going to make the most of this and dabble while it lasts.



Trying to find the right berry, but almost black, shade lipstick I desired turned out to be surprisingly challenging. The shades that looked perfect on the tube turned a more rosy colour when swatched. lovely but not what I was pursuing.



(Above) last minute I suddenly came across this little stunner. Revlon's matte lipstick in Black Cherry: perfect!



(Below) obviously with a mutual coloured outfit I want matching nails. Already being a fan, plus, raving about it *like a loon might I add* in one of my earlier posts, I opted for Maybelline New York's Colour Show (In Burgundy Kiss). Knowing this would give great colour and easy application with the wide brush.
What do you feel about the berry trend? Hit or miss? Love or loathe?

The Great British Bake Off

Pastries, cakes, bread, biscuits I'm hooked. The Great British Bake Off has a slowly become one of my go to programmes for when I need a little cheering up. A show filled with compitition, delicious food and the great presenter's  (that make me laugh endlessly) and fantastically enchanting hosts: Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood *those eyes*.
As well as fallen in love with the food and participants one contestants personality has caught my eye, her cute Indie/vintage style *sigh* is just a bonus. Her name. Ruby Tandoh. With these pictures you'll see what I mean.


Look at the table. Food food food.


She seems so sweet on screen and she has also worked for models 1.


Ruby admits that she shops at charity shops as she's a philosophy student. I am definitely taking a tip from her book. Her cardigan is a good example, so cute.

Picture Of The Day: POTD

This little cute post is new and my own way of sharing visual images of my day to day life, the people in it and what is important at this time. (I also want you guys to share your POTD's with me in the comments or social networks)

♚ this is one of my faves. It's of my little sister being curious about who she is. She loves drama and says she wants to be an actress, I always catch her practising faces in our mirror! ♚
