VSL Rouge Volupte #30 Faubourg Peach ♥

 Being treat to these beautiful summery days of late, I have found myself wanting to reach for a brighter more 'sun appropriate' lip colour...

I have been totally in LOVE with this one in particular from YSL; aptly named Faubourg Peach, this beautiful shade of corally peach instantly brightens up your face :)

The famous formulation of the Rouge Volupte lipsticks is just a dream to work with; Creamy, moisturising and they also have such a delicious fruity scent! Numbers currently in my collection include; 2, 7, 8, 24 & of course this one, number 30!

Have you found yourself reaching for brighter colours when doing your makeup recently? Do you have any further YSL recommendations for me to try out?

Ardell Fashion Lashes

Evening Girls.. 

As an ardent wearer or false lashes, I've become somewhat of a connoisseur when it comes to good lashes and bad.. There is nothing worse than wearing a set of falsies which feel like they weigh down your lashes and generally cause discomfort to the eye. I myself wear contact lenses and sometimes with certain, cheap brands of lashes my eyes become tired and irritable after a couple of hours wear. 

Eyelure had always been my lash brand of choice, when I wasn't sporting lashes from my now defunct False Lash company 'Styleyes Lashes', but more recently a brand who in all honesty I'd not heard too much about has taken my fancy and converted me in the lash stakes! 

Ardell are an American False Lash company who's tag line is 'Simply Unforgettable Eyes...' believe me, the Ardell Lashes truly are unforgettable! 

Here is a close up shot of me wearing their 'Fashion Lashes' in number 101.

 The lashes are made from 100% sterilized human hair, meaning they are super light weight. Adding to their comfort levels is the clear flexi strip which the lashes are attached to; the strip is easily maneuvered to fit your own shape eye, it is not rigid in any way which means the highest level of comfort.

On the occasions I wear lashes, I need to be able to be comfortable for long periods of time when wearing them, the Ardell lashes are amazing for this and most of the time I totally forget I'm wearing any at all!

Here is the completed look wearing the 101 lashes and I just love them!

They are currently available to buy from Boots, these ones in particular retail for £5.11 which I think to be a fab price for quality lashes which are reusable, providing care and attention is paid to them in keeping them clean.

Have any of you lovelies tried Ardell lashes? Can you recommend any other styles to try out?

Disclaimer: Lashes were purchased by myself with my own money, they were not sent to me by a PR agency or Ardell to review

FOTN: Celebratory Drinks!

Apologies once again for the large gaps of time in which I haven't posted, rather than bore you in this post, I may put together a little catch up post as I've been pretty much absent from Blogging and my Twitter page for some time...

This past Friday was the final hand in date for one of my best friends' dissertations, all was handed in on time and so we decided to mark the occasion with cocktails and champagne, after all it's been a long 3 years of her working super hard on her degree! 

I decided to go for a smart casual look with understated makeup and a sleek up-do for my hair...

Looking rather tired there above, but I took this quick snap when I got in at around 3am hehe Oooops!

I've recently been loving summery glowy skin so this was definitely a must!

Products Used:

Bargainous Booties ♥

After bagging such a massive bargain over the weekend I thought it only right to share! 

For a mere £20 I just couldn't pass these beauties up! 

River Island currently have an extra 50% off all of their sale stock, so as there were labelled as £40 in the sale once they were scanned at the till they were a very purse pleasing £20!

They are super comfy, with suede detailing to the heel and rear third of the shoe. I can't wait to pair them with a pair of super skinnies & an on trend over sized blouse.

What about you... Have you picked up any bargains this weekend? Did you find anything amazing in the River Island sale?

Hiatus Over - I Got My Mojo Back!

Evening ladies! 

You may or may not have realised, but it's been a massive 3 weeks since I last posted. I guess with everything that I had going on; leaving University etc all became a little too much for me and blogging unfortunately had to take a backseat. However, I am now 100% happy with my decision and overall a happier and less stressed person. So here I am, ready to get back into the swing of things... Finally! :) 

I'll leave this post short & sweet and just include a simple FOTD picture which I took only yesterday before starting work. With the warmer weather I've really been embracing being able to wear a little less makeup, keeping my eyes very simple and opting for a warm bronzey glow on my cheeks...

Products Used...

MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation NC35

Maybelline Falsies Mascara

MAC MSF Natural - Deep Dark (Contour)

MAC MSF - Golden Lariat (Cheeks)

MAC Angel worn on my lips

I hope you've all been enjoying this beautiful weather we've been experiencing, it's been a good excuse to get the roof down off my car and turn up the Summery tunes!

Lots of Love

Fancy becoming an Aussie Angel with Aussie Lusciously Light?...

As you all know, I was lucky enough to be chosen to be a part of the exclusive 'Aussie Angels' a group of girlies who are here to trial and test out products and in general enlighten the masses to the wonder that is Aussie! 

Recently we as Angels were sent a rather exciting little teaser... A HUGE box was delivered to the door and lurking inside was a rather cute Aussie helium balloon with, rather ingeniously a bottle of Aussie's brand new 'Lusciously Light' formulation conditioner to weigh it down! 

As i'm part of the Aussome Volume Tribe, the conditioner I recieved was the Lusciously Light Aussome Volume Conditioner - With the promise of lightweight volumised hair, you really can't complain! ;)

In conjunction with the new range of products, Aussie are also on the hunt for a further 10 Aussie Angels to join up with the already formed tribes! 

If you think you could be up to the challenge and really want to be a part of the Aussie Angel action then all you simply have to do is answer the following... 

“Put a spring in your spring! Tell us, how would

you lighten up your life? #AussieLight”

 

The 10 girls who will be chosen by Aussie will be decided upon by the strength of their creative flair when answering the above. You can write a blogpost, film a YT video or simply tweet @YummyHair with your reply! 

 

Whatever you do make sure you manage to send Aussie a link, this would be most easily done by tweeting them @YummyHair

 

You've got until Sunday to get your entries in & full terms can be found by clicking here!  

Good luck to all of you that enter & be sure to link me to your entry if you do!

Cause I May Be Bad But I'm Perfectly Good At It ♥

Evening lovelies .. 

It's been a little while since I've bestowed upon you all an 'Outfit of the Night' post and so low and behold here I am with one for you now! 

I've definitely been loving wearing all black recently. I'm not sure if this is because I've been finding it just 'easy' or whether my style is developing into a more 'classic' look, but either way here is the outfit in question!

Underneath all of the layers I have a simple black bandeau top - All Saints

Black V-neck T-shirt - Zara

Leggings with 'leather' effect detailing at waistband - Zara 

Leather & Suede Waterfall effect jacket - Oasis

Block heel boots - River Island

I really loved this look when it was all pulled together, I felt dressed up enough to go out for a meal & drinks yet comfortable and not worrying about what I looked like in the slightest! 

My love for Zara is ever expanding, I seem to buy almost everything I purchase from that store.. Rarely a day goes by when I'm not wearing anything from there! Love it :)

Hope you're all well & I'd love to hear what you think?
