Date Night Lush List

1/2/3/4/5/6

Every so often I find maturity hits me slap bang in the face without warning, this has been happening more often than not lately.

As is the case with this post, I was compiling  my 'lush list' when I realised my selections were quite grown and all 'date night' appropriate!
A great one for us singletons and loved up ladies too!

What do you like to buy for date night?
Will you be purchasing any of the above? Let me know!

Topshop Lipstick: Straight Ace

I'm a gal who loves a matte lip but this lipstick may have just upped the sheen lipstick game!

Say hello to Topshop Lips lipstick in Straight Ace.

This is a gorgeous creamy blue toned purple with slight gold reflects that literally GLLLIIDDDDDEEESSS on your lips whilst giving you a fantastic colour pay off and an instant statement lip for all skin tones!

The moisturising formula for this is so impressive it has quickly taken a place in my favourite lipsticks of all time.

You can pick up this lipstick from Topshop for £9.00

Beauty Lush List

1/2/3/4/5/6

I'm a shopaholic!
A beauty shopaholic.
I have no idea where this obsession came from but in some cases, this obsession is slightly cheaper than your average shoe shopaholic.
Anyway, enough with trying to justify this, let me tell you about the beauty goodies I've been lusting over lately! 

1. Make Up Geek Eyeshadows Ultimate Palette - I have been lusting over these for ages! After coming across Marlena's Youtube page and seeing how pigmented her eyeshadows were and how gorgeous the colours were, I fell in love! These eyeshadows are a fraction of the MAC shadows and great for beginners or MUAs!

2. La Femme Blushes - No brainer really! Another case of great value and high pigmentation. I've begun to fall in love with blushes especially oranges however I would love to try out some of the Fuchsia shades that La Femme offer!

3. Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation in 6.5 Warm Almond - Sometime last year I booked myself one of Bobbi Brown's Complimentary Make Up Lessons at Westfield White City. The consultant Lea was super helpful and one of the products she used and recommended for me was Skin Foundation. Very lightweight and natural, I loved the look and have been meaning to purchase this ever since.

4. Topshop Blush Stick in Acting Up - I had to throw this some Twitter love! Every so often a Topshop email ends up in my inbox and contains an item that makes me fall in love, in this case it was this blush stick. As you have already read above, I am now becoming blush obsessed, especially orange blushes! I have never owned a cream/waxy blush but when I saw Acting Up I knew that we were meant to be! I think this would be perfect for summer...if we ever get it. *sad face*

5. OCC Lip Tar in Black Dhalia - Yooooooo! This colour is GORGEOUS! I happened to come across this colour whilst browsing blogs and I immediately decided that I needed it in my life. Black Dhalia is a deep wine berry colour that sits gorgeously on lips (go on Google it, I'm sure you'll agree!)
I am waiting to see if OCC are going to be at IMATS for a cheeky lil discount if not I think I will have to shell out the moola for this bad boy!

6. Lime Crime Candy Future Lipstick in Poisonberry - I'm on a mission guys! To find the perfect purple lip! Don't ask me why! I just am damnit!! And I believe Poisonberry could help me out greatly with my mission. Posionberry is described as an opaque (winning!) violet purple berry, I mean, cmonnn! You cant get more purple than this! Absolutely lusting! All I need is a great lipgloss to go over it. 
Any suggestions?

Statement Skirts

I have never been a skirt kinda gal!

In fact I shy away from skirts, not because I don't like them but because trousers are warm and generally more comfortable.

However, I don't know what happened...maybe one of those times I bumped my head I moved something around, I dunno!! But now I am giving skirts a chance!

Above you can see 3 of my statement skirts.

The first

Brought from eBay HERE.

This was my first statement skirt so I was a bit conscious about wearing it but if you're gonna go statement you might as well do it!!!

As you can see here I've gone what you can only call 'the eclectic look' but I feel it works.

I paired this skirt with a black Topshop crop top, H&M fur collar, eBay capped sandals and my fav bobble hat!

The second

Brought from Urban Outfitters (similar HERE)

When I saw this I fell in love, it's edgy but sexy, just what I like!

Here I teamed this skirt with sandals from eBay, sunglasses from eBay and a Topshop tee. To finish off the outfit add a faux leather jacket and your favourite lippie!

The third

I'm cheating a little bit with this one. 

This skirt is actually a beautiful dress from ASOS which isn't entirely weather appropriate right now. *sad face*

 I REALLY wanted to wear it for a night out so I popped my favourite Topshop crop top (LOVE THESE) over the top of the dress, paired with my Primarni platforms and viola!

This summer dress is transformed into an eye catching outfit for a night out!

I can safely say that I am now a fan of skirts, they are so versatile and allow me to express my femininity in different ways through their different styles!

Thumbs up for skirts yo!

What do you think of statements skirts, are you brave enough to try them?

Which look is your favourite?

All Black Everything

1/2/3/4/5/6

I'm tired of apologising for it!

I LOVE WEARING BLACK!

YEAH I SAID IT!

I've never been one to wear overtly colourful clothes and people used to bring me out on it but now I don't care!

I'm embracing my love of noir.

My spending ban means that I can only lust over these items for now, but between you and I that Lampart sweater is on it's way...drool!

(Disclaimer: I haven't broken my ban, brought the sweater before Lent! Hashtag - Winning!)

Please tell me I'm not alone in my love of all black errthang?
