Mini Weekend Haul - Mac and H&M

My Mini Weekend Haul!

I simply can not go into a Mac counter and walk out empty handed, it would be rude  if i did..

I repurchased some items and also bagged some times I’ve been lusting over for a while. I also purchased a couple of fun T-Shirts from H&M that are simply beautiful and affordable. And here they are: 

Mac Matte lipstick in Yash 

A Neutral peach shade lipstick in a matte finish, The Texture is Smooth and creamy.

Mac Satin Lipstick in Twig (Repurchase) 

A soft brownish-pink shade, very opaque with a satin finish. This is a safe shade for me, compliments my olive toned skin, a sophisticated your lips but better lipstick. 

Mac Matte Lipstick in Sin (Repurchase) 

Hands down this has to be my fave vampy lipstick from MAC I've probably gone through about 5 of these.

A deep Burgundy shade with subtle brown undertones. A matte finish. One of Macs most popular lipsticks from there permanent range. 

Mac Satin Lipstick in Mocha 

I was on the look out for my new summer lipstick, i tend to always have one as a signature and this year its Mocha, I love love love the peachy brown tones to it. A full on opaque lipstick, can be drying However nothing applying lip balm underneath won’t solve. This shade is going to really complement a tan.. I can see it already. 

Mac Satin Lipstick in Cherish 

A creamy nude shade that glides on smoothly on the lips. It has a slight glossy sheen to it, Very pigmented. This is the kind of shade I like to wear with a smokey eye or heavy make up, its a subtle shade that can work with most make up looks id say, I love how it catches the light due to its slight gloss finish. For me this is a shade id like to wear for a casual evening look.

Mac Lip Pencil in Whirl (Repurchase- FINALLY they restocked it at Selfridges) 

I used to have a hate on hate relationship with Lip pencils/Lip liners; However the past two years or so I’ve kind off gone lip pencil crazy. 

Whirl is most probably the most wanted lip liner ever since Kylie Jenner introduced us to her signature lip combo   ( Whir Applied With Velvet Teddy matte  Lipstick - Mac ) 

Mac describe the shade to be as a Dirty Rose. It is a deep pink with brown undertones. I found that patinece is needed when applying Whirl as it is very dry. 

H&M Sequenced Pineapple T-Shirt (£12.99)

Im a sucker for a grey T-Shirt, However this time round it has a Pineapple on it! I love seeing Pineapples as it always reminds me of summer and happiness. I Love the texture of this t shirt very soft and doesn’t stick on to those unwanted places! I can really see my sell dressing this up and down for day time and evening looks. 

H&M Watermelon T-Shirt (£12.99)

My faviourte fruit, On a T-Shirt? Oh yes. I love love love Watermelons and may I add 99% of my wardrobe is black.. I tend to always grab anything i see in black first, a bad habit i know. Mum always tells me i should wear more colour however I just feel easy and comfortable in black, I should really get out of this habit. This is a cute, fun play on a classic plain black tee and I think i will wear this until its dying days.

Im usually a M in H&M However I purchased these T-Shirts in a L as I wanted to style them quite baggy and loose. I love these T-Shirts and think they are great for summer, Sequin motif T-Shirts and sweaters are everywhere right now and are going for a lot more than £12.99, hence why I had to purchase both, i always find with H&M its very hit and miss, so If I find myself unsure about an item,I tend to always buy it and later decide at home if i want to keep it or not, I hate living in regret! 

Have you tried any of these Mac products?  Let me know what you think of my fruity T-Shirts?

Ciaté X Olivia Palermo - Review and Swatch

My style icon, The Beautiful and sophisticated Olivia Palermo has just launched her first collection for Ciate 

Olivia is set to launch four collections this year as she currently holds the role as Guest Creative Director for Ciaté.

The packing for this collection  is right up my ally. I'm a sucker for all things gold! its sleek, chic and feminie. 

Of course being a special edition they are more expensive than your normal Ciaté polishes that retail for £9.  The Olivia Palermo range retail for £17 and are available online and in stores now.

Olivia has chosen three shades, that in my opinion are very safe.. not that I'm complaining. i have burst where i get creative and experiment with different colours on my nails.. However, i always find myself crawling back to my nudes and reds; hence why i love this collection. Olivia has launched a Nude, Red and Coral. I love Ciaté polishes overall as they are known for their colour pay off. Opaque, thick and most importantly for me, very glossy.. (Most of the times i can get away with not using a top coats with Ciaté polishes)

The three shades are Sunday's - Her 'off duty nude', Hutch - Her 'go to red' and Nantucket - Her 'haute vacation coral'. 

I Purchased " Sundays "  online and fell in love with it so much that I immeditaly jumped back online and purchased the rest of the collection. I love a good nude. Optically this one, i love its gel-like thickness. Nudes are my go to colour; especially when tanned! They give you that girly yet sophisticated look and you can wear it with anything! (I have this weird thing that if my nail colour doesn't match with my clothes.. i will take it off) 

I feel that Olivia played it safe, yet sophisticated for her first launch, I was expecting something more. however will just have to wait for the next collections to launch, I'm sure she will shock us and give us that something special,different and unique. 

Do you think you'll be getting your hands on these polishes?

Weekend Getaway - Amsterdam - Pictures

Amsterdam by far is one of my faviorte cities I have ever visited.  I loved loved LOVED it!  I didn't stay for long, a short (but sweet) weekend get away with my sister and our friends. Living in London, getting there was nothing but a 45 minute flight! All in all, the flight felt like a breeze, quick flick through a mag and we were there!   

Amsterdammer's in a nut shell were the friendliest, happiest people I have ever met. the City overall is a calm, relaxed, happy - chilled out place and I think we all know why! 

When travelling the most important thing for me is to be in good walking shoes; as there is always so much to explore - and only so much my feet can take! I also love to be hands free - Cross body bags at the ready! Im not saying I always get it right, but I like to try (too many bad experiances X_X)  This time round there were zero complaints..woo hoo! And because of this I decided to share a few snaps of some of my favourite looks and moments for you guys.
