A new fav :)

I first saw this nail polish on Swalkermakeup's channel on Youtube and new I had to have it! Its a red..but not too red like some of the ones I have.

The shades: Ruby Gem
This is two coats to get the same colour in the bottle.

The perfect trio :)

Wondering around Superdrug today I came across this little eyeshadow trio from the range 'Famous' by Sue Moxley. As soon as I saw it, it reminded me of the 'nude' shades in the Urban Decay Naked Palette.

This one is called 'Mocha latte'
None of the shades are exact dupes for the shades in the Naked Palette buut! the first shimmery white shade is very similar to virgin from the NP the middle shade is similar to sidecar only slightly lighter and the last shade is a lighter version of Hustle. So it could be a nice (smaller) alternative to the shades in the NP. But that aside.. they are really nice wearable shades and I think its nice that it's a smaller pallete as you can grab it quickly in the morning, and you have all three shades you need for the perfect eyeshadow :)



The middle shade hasn't shown up all that well, but it does look pretty once its on the eyes :)

A few recent finds...

Just thought i'd share a few recent things i've bought, and an 'inspired' outfit :)


I got this necklace a few days ago, it's not my usual taste but for some reason I thought this could really make a simple outfit look a little more 'put together' what do you think? 
It's from Dorothy Perkins and it was in the sale for £5

 I think the necklace goes nicely with the top..but it might be a little too the same...let me know what you think :)

Next I went into Primark to have a look at there summer sandals..but come out with flip-flops as I couldn't find my size in any of the pretty sandals. These are a size 4 and I think they were around £6.

They are actually really comfy so for £6 you can't really go wrong...perfect for a summer holiday!

Here is my finished outfit with the new necklace and flip-flops..
  • The top is from Primark - £8
  • Sunglasses are also Primark - £1
  • Bag is Primark..-£11
  • The scarf on the bag is H&M around £3 or £4 I think
  • Shorts & Flip-flops Primark :)
What are your summer finds?
