  Today was my first day interning at River Island's PR office! I have had the most surreal day, the office is so warm and welcoming and I'd already recommend it on my first bloomin' day! I've watched the model castings for Rihanna's collection today, and assisted Mel Ottenberg and their team with various things like food and drink runs. So crazy. Anyways! I thought I'd make an effort and snap a quick outfit shot for you guys, although my camera's playing up, i'm tired and the lightings awful. Anyway, I digress, I never realized how much ebay I had on today! all these bits are great quality AND there all UK sellers which means they'll get to you sooner than the across seas sellers. I'm loving kimonos at the moment, if you have anymore recommendations on where I can buy more please share! Heres to a great two weeks, and I shall outfit post as much as possible! I'm actually going to an LFW show on friday so I'm sure I'll be sharing that with you all too...

Injecting colour into your everyday makeup

To create my above look I used 

MUA Heaven & Earth Palette - £4

Benefit They're Real! - £9.50 

Sleek Glo in 'Peach Shimmer' - RRP £6.49 (I got this for free whilst interning)

MUA eyeliner in 'Royal blue' - £1

Kiko long lasting stick shadow - RRP £6.90 (I got this for £1 in a beauty cupboard clear out)

- NO tutorial needed, Simply line the upper lash line with the orange shadow stick and the bottom outer corner with blue, deepen the sockets with the dark orange colour in the MUA palette and lightly bronze your cheeks - add a few coats of mascara and hey presto!

I often flick through pages of magazines and see tutorials of beautiful models sporting AMAZINGLY bright eyeshadows and makeup, yet I was never quite able to pull it off. Like most girls, I'll happily sport a bright lip but when it comes to bright shadows? I usually end up looking like a drag queen gone wrong. HOWEVER. Whilst interning at Closer mag, there was a beauty sale and I picked up this Kiko eyeshadow stick for just 50p and ever since I've been injecting a bit of colour into my daily routine. All you need to do is follow a few simple rules

1) ITS ONE OR THE OTHER - Don't try and rock a bold lip and a colourful eye, its colour overload and a step too far!

2) SHADOW STICKS - If you usually wear black winged liner try alternating for a coloured shadow stick to gradually introduce colour into your look, thats what I've done above, this Kiko stick glides on so easily - it was effortless

3) UTILISE YOUR SMOKEY EYE SKILLS - Try deepening your smokey eye with a darker colour shade e.g. purple, that way your still getting the smokey eye you're used to - with added colour!

4) UNDER EYE DETAIL - Failing the above simply try smudging a coloured liner below your bottom lash line for some subtle colour

P.s I am not a make-up artist! this is just my opinion/tips :) 

                                                                         What do you use to add colour into your makeup?

Its that skirt again...

Necklace - Miso @ Republic £1 (Sale)

Bandeu - Newlook £2.99

Skirt - £14.99 Newlook

This is my go to skirt at the moment it makes all my outfits look so summery! I also brought it in black the other day, The tight waist band makes it really flattering. I'm also in love with this necklace I purchase from work! What a bargain at £1!

Tangerine Tigers.

Top - £16.00, Republic

Denim Jacket - £3.00 Charity Shop (Gap)

Peace ear cuff - £6.50, Topshop

Cuff bracelet - Gift

Maxi Skirt - £14.99 Newlook

Sandals - £6.00 Primark

I got quite a few compliments on this outfit from customers at work today, which was lovely - its always nice to be complimented on something you threw together! So I thought I'd share this with you after a long ten and a half hour shift! I also popped into Hollister on my lunch break and couldn't resist these body sprays for £12 each or 3 for £24 - Your'll probably think I'm mad spending that on body sprays but they last like a perfume and the scents are AMAZING. Also ; just to let you know - Republic have a MASSIVE sale on right now and theres some really REALLY nice stock in it - with up to 50% off some of it! Brands like Glamorous, Miso etc are my faves - and you can pick up some beautiful party dresses for a fraction of the price which are still very much in fashion! Seriously worth checking out.

How is your week going?
