Hey girlies :)
Hope you've all enjoyed the sun these past few days, it's actually been pretending to be summer for the past few days where I live hehe
So on Saturday night myself and everyone from the boutique where I work went out for staff drinks and Tapas at La Tasca. This was a whole new experience for me, as I've never tried Tapas before.. I tend to stick to 'safe' foods, ones that I know, but this was a great opportunity to try something new. We then headed out to the Quayside Malmaison for Champagne cocktails... Never a good idea after the copious amounts we had already consumed! At the time, the food tasted amazing, but unfortunately it didn't agree with me and I came down with a bug, for a couple of days afterwards :(
The night overall was a great success however, with lots of sangria flowing it really got me in the mood for my holiday off to Tenerife :)
I decided after hearing such positive things from Annabella about the Sally Hansen 'Airbrush Legs' to give it a go. I truly and honestly HATE my legs with a passion, I unfortunately suffer from hereditary 'thread' or spider veins which I am looking into getting treatment for, but since finding this little gem I may not have to spring so soon for the invasive sclerotherapy (I am terrified of needles...)
So here we have it, my outfit choice for a Spanishy Tapas night out...
Dress - River Island
Shoes - Topshop Dupe from Garage Shoes
Oversized Bangle (Worn as Cuff) - Local Boutique
I wanted my makeup to look fairly 'glamourous' and so decided to use shadows from my Sleek 'Storm' palette: Shimmery Champagne, Mocha (matte) brown & also the matte Black...

Here you can see a closeup of my eyelid.. I also applied some Girls Aloud 'Sarah' Lashes to add a bit of interest and oomph :)
So what about you ladies, did you get up to anything exciting this past weekend? Do you have anything special planned for the Bank Holiday Weekend?

ReplyDeleteAhh, I've been trying to find wedges like that for ages, thankyouthankyouthankyou!
ReplyDeleteThey shall be mine, £35 is a lot more affordable than the £100+ that Topshop wanted.
The dress suits you so well.

Thanks again girls for all of your super nice comments, it honestly shocks me at the response which I get from you amazing girls.. :)
ReplyDelete@ Darling Heart - Hey sweetie, ooo sounds like you had a fabby weekend! I caught up with X Factor on Monday when I was feeling a little better hehe .. I've just got MAC's Blankety on, it's an amplified so is super creamy but it's a lovely nude :)
@ Mel - Thanks girlie, and I use the Schwarzkopf Osis Dust It Mattifying Powder (you can purchase from Salons or wholesalers for abour £8-9) It really gives your hair texture and you can work with it so much easier.. I do back comb it a little too :)
@ Lauren - Thanks Sweets, I might just do this for you.. It looked nice on the night but it's actually photographed really well and shown up the shadows.. Shall give it a think over!
@ Lucy Lights - Hey peaches! .. Yup, I have to admit I was a bit aprehensive going into the store (preconceptions etc..) But in all honesty, for a pair of shoes i'll be wearing to go out in for drinks etc I'd def rather pay £35 than the Topshop price :) - Glad i've helped!
