Clothes and more!


My final post of bits that I got at LFW is going to be about clothing. A lot of stalls there were doing SUPER discounts, however a super discount to me is £100 reduced to £20, not £459 reduced to £359! So it was safe to say there was little options for me to buy bits from! I did manage to get two shirts which I really do love that were not so expensive and where more in my price range.

The first top is a lovely white lace style t-shirt from designer splendid. This was £20 and I just love the detailing. I think this will look perfect with jeans and can be worn in both winter and summer. There were only a couple of these out on display and the lady had said that it is one of their bestsellers and they were the only two left! So I was suckered in and bought it!



The other item I got was a cream top from designer Ella Moss. It is a little big for me but I like the more larger style as I feel less restricted when wearing the items! I can also put a small vest top underneath it too. I think this will also look lovely with jeans casually, but can look great with a skirt for a more formal look! This top also has lovely lace detailing on the shoulders and at the back which I noticed on the catwalk was also something that has been re-coccuring! 



For the past couple of years that I have been to LFW I always buy a annual subscription to ELLE magazine. This year was no different. Something fun this year (same as last year really) is that they gave away two items of Benefit makeup. The two items in question was 'They're real' mascara and 'Hoola' bronzer. This is something that I am so excited to try as I have read all over the blogging world that it is one of the best bronzers out there! So I'll let you know what I think! 


Finally a smaller item that I got was this book called '642' things to draw in fashion. This is something different as it states what to draw and you can draw it however big or small you want to! This was £13.99 and I just LOVED the quirkiness of it. I also thought that I could take with me to use when on the way to university on the train.

Lipstick Haul and review!




I am a sucker for a cute lipstick and when spotting these little beauty's this summer I felt it would only be write to blog about them. The lipsticks in question are 'Pink Punch- Baby Lips' 'English Rose- Maxfactor colour elixir' 'Bombshell- Mac Frosted lipstick' and 'Lovesick- Revlon Just Bitten, Kissable Balm Stain'.



Similarities?
Two of these colours are very similar in the way they look although they do have different textures when applied to the lips. My favourite out of the 4 has to be my MAC lipstick which I have been wearing as part of an everyday makeup look. The other two lipsticks are very different to anything I have ever owned and I love that the Revlon balm stain really does last ALL day!


Product most shocked by

The product that I was most shocked by was the quality of the Pink Punch Baby Lips balm. I had heard of the hype for this item from many you tubers/bloggers in the states and was waiting patiently for this product to come to the UK. I now totally agree why it is so loved. This balm stays on the lips for a really long time and moisturises as well as looking really pretty. I have even been wearing it over the Lovesick Revlon Balm Stain.

Packaging 
The packaging for all of these products is really professional. I love the way that the Baby lips is in a 'twisty' tube rather than in a pot as it makes it really easy to apply. I also really like how the Revlon Balm Stain can be twisted up. I would also like to note here that I have had this product over a month now and I haven't had to twist it up yet, even though I have worn it everyday!. Maxfactor have also really 'upped' their game when it comes to their packaging. Although the lipstick isn't high end the golden case looks so professional and I really like how you can see the colour at the bottom of the case. Finally, the MAC lipstick is in a classic MAC casing. I love the simplicity of all MAC products and this lipstick definitely did not disappoint. (I also secretly really like the smell of MAC lipsticks!)






Overall all of these products have been worth the price that I had paid for them and I will definitely be buying more when these ones run out! (dreading that day).

Let me know what your favourite lip products are, or what I should try/review next!
