ALL PRODUCTS* - STARGAZER

Last week I recieved a cute little package in the post full of Star Gazer goodies. Originally, I'd only ever heard of the brands nail polishes so I was excited to recieve some different products. I recieved two eyeshadows, a blusher, a lip gloss and a nail polish. Apologies for the awful out of focus photos, I was in a rush as daylight was running out as well as my battery and I only realised as I ulpoaded these to my laptop! Also, the photo's definitely don't do justice for the eyeshadows and blusher especially.



First up, the eyeshadows. I'm a big neutral-eye wearer so was a bit put off by Plush Purple at first. It's an electric lilac with shimmer in it. Although it scared me at first, I was amazed by the pigmentation of this colour and can imagine it looking beautiful on a green eye.

The second colour is Champagne and is a gorgeous subtle shimmer. It appears more brown in the pan however transfers onto the skin as a slightly more white shine. The pigmentation isn't quite as strong as Plush Purple, but I can see it as being the perfect inner corner and brow bone highlight.

Next is the blusher and in shade Blusher 5, it was the product I was most looking forward to. The colour is a beautiful peachy-coral which is my favourite kind of blusher to wear,. It's a subtle but gorgeous colour, with again great pigmentation as well as a bit of shimmer to give off a healthy looking glow.

I'm not a massive lip gloss wearere but after seeing TOWIE come back onto my TV screen I've decided I need to make more effort - do those girls ever not have any gloss on?! The lip gloss is in shade Natural and comes in a perfect handbag size tube. In the tube it looks like it has more of a pinky colour to it despite the Natural shade, however when on the lips it is super natural giving a gloss and sheer colour. I'm definitely going to be using this more often!

Finally was the nail varnish. The shade is Nail Polish 106, a shiny purple colour in the pot, but as you can see it is a much more pinky colour on the nails. The picture shows my nails with 3 coats of the colour. I'd say 2 was more that enough - I just seem to always pack on lots of layers regardless of the opaque-ness! I adore this shade, however it did chip after two days but that was probably no fault but my own as I didn't put a top coat on!!

BLOUSE - PRIMARK // CARDIGAN - H&M // DISCO PANTS -ASOS // FLATS - TOPSHOP

This is what I wore to see Nina Nesbitt a few weeks back - hence the Nina lyrics as the blog posts title! I always find disco pants are a safe option for concerts - they're not as hot as jeans and there's no chance of flashing your knickers, although you still look like you've made an effort! These ones are deffo a size too small though!!

Good news, I'm officially getting my room painted on Monday which means I'll be saying goodbye to my lyric/picture wall and my other wall full of holes in it due to my good old fangirl days of filling every square inch with a poster of The Wanted (trust me, if it was acceptable I totally would still do that) ((I also may  or may not still have my wardrobe completely covered in magazine cut outs of them)) (((I definitely do))). I'm thinking of taking some photo's of my room now and after the paint job and doing a big room tour sometime soon? I've seen a few people asking for make-up storage posts etc, and it would be nice to do something different for a change!!

DRESS - PRIMARK // JACKET - NEW LOOK // SHOES - NEXT // BRACELET* - OASAP // RING - TOPSHOP

I've been wanting to show this dress for a while now. It's such a little gem from Primark. I love the pattern, colours, and of course the price tag!! I was so tempted to buy a few other designs as they have loads in right now but I just find it a bit restricting when moving your arms about because of the material, and I never seem to wear dresses in the winter, tights are far too much effort!!

Thanks to everyone who commented on THIS post about my hair, sorry to disappoint but it's hasn't been cut at all, I just had it in a high ponytail!! Although I am deffo thinking of having it cut short, although that's a bit daring to me. Chances are I'd do it and it'd look awful, my hair isn't thick enough to look good with any cut! What do you think?

Ebay Wishlist #6

LEATHER JACKET // BOOTS // JUMPER // SKIRT // WATCH

This is probably one of my all time favourite Ebay Wishlists! I am especially loving the Coltrane dupes and the watch. The boots are so cheap and if I had the confidence to wear them, I would have them in my ebay basket already! I found this watch after wanting a new one and finding a similar one on Asos for £20. I wanted a map-print watch from Urban Outfitters a few months back so when I found this for a bargain price of £3 I was obviously happy! I just bought it for the Christmas Elves to wrap up and give to me this year.
