MAC: Viva Glam Nicki
Seeing as I couldn’t get my hands on any of the new Cook range collection by MAC I recently got my hands on MACs Viva Glam ‘Nicki’ by Nicki Minaj. The product retails at £13.50 and colour wise is described as a ‘bright pink yellow’ with a satin finish. For girls who love a high pigmented pink lipstick this is for you. MAC met my expectations spot on with this lipstick. The colour is mid toned however it is very buildable and can become very bright very quickly and because of this I will be using it as more of an evening lipstick as apose to a daytime one unless you are really brave with statement lips throughout the day, If you have dry lips do be careful as the formula though thick is quite drying and can leave a nasty stain round the outer lips and highlight cracks if not topped up or glossed over occasionally although the colour did last me a full night and left a pinky stain before I showered the next day. It is true to its word though, a mid toned pink with a yellow undertone, which is perfect for girls like me with a lighter skin tone – it also looks great with a sweep of blush on the apples of my cheeks. My stick is abit dented after using it consistently on Saturday! But I would re-buy and recommend this product – the application is perfect it glides on. Value for money, a good lipstick and donating to charity? You can’t go wrong. 10/10! (Excuse awful photo minus foundation!)

OOTD - Beetle Juice
Finally arrived home to find my stripey leggings have arrived (as seen on llymlrs), I got mine from eBay - the quality of these leggings isn't fantastic and you HAVE to wear a long top or your underwear will be showing but they are comfy and stylish and a steal at £4.99. As for my top half I'm wearing 2 of my mums tops(?!), one of her current vests which is big for me so almost looks dress like and a very old mesh/chiffon long sleeve top with blobs of glitter round the collar/chest area - its quite interesting and works well with this outfit I feel, seeing as I left half of my wardrobe in Southampton due to rushing around to get back late on Saturday because I'd been ill and missed my coach! I've also got my paws on 3 MAC lipsticks to review, however 2 of them turned out to be fake - but i'll be doing posts anyway, lesson learned here folks - do your research before buying products of good ol' eBay! ...
Vest - Peacocks £4.99

OOTD Reb'l Fleur
Little bit of a different outfit post today, Inspired by Rihanna's Reb'l Fleur perfume, Can you tell by the colours I'm wearing? Which is unusual because I would never usually team red and purple together, but I actually really like this look with a pale shirt and a statement shoe. I wore this outfit for a casual job interview and a day at university, Comfy yet stylish. I also treated myself to a new lipstick today seeing as I've maid £32 on Ebay (Yay!) its Barry M in 100 marshmellow.. However I'm not sure if i like it on me.. it goes on a dream though, but more about that in another review - Thankyou to Luke for taking another photograph for me, I swear to god I can't wait for our new flat and a tripod to take better posts!

Shoes - £12.99 Ebay
Shirt - £25.00 Fashion Union
Jegging Jeans - £14.99 Newlook
