FOTD - Holiday cocktails

My first 'Face of the day' (or night as this was worn for!) 
I teamed the previous outfit post with this make up look on holiday where we went for dinner at a tradional spanish resturant and into the town for late night cocktails!

  • Estee Lauder Double wear foundation in no.3 'Ivory Beige'
  • Collection 2000 Lasting perfection concelear in Meduim 3
  • Bourjois Chocolate bronzer in Dark
  • Mac Blusher in 'Pinch me'
  • Benefit Highbeam
  • Urban decay Primer potion
  • Naked palette shades 'Naked' and 'Buck'
  • L'oreal Volume Million Lashes mascara in Black
  • Bourjois khol eyeliner in Black
  • Natural collection lipstick in 'Cranberry'
I'm not usually a red lipstick kinda girl or a bright lipstick one come to think of it. I'm not sure if its my skin tone or just that i'm not used to it but I usually find myself putting it on and taking it straight back off again. However having this new holiday glow (that I have worked very hard for laying aimlessly for hours on a sun lounger) I have been venturing out of my confort zone and trying something more bold. I think it looks a lot better on me with a tan infact I may even go as far as saying I quite like it!
 Unfortunately after having one to many cocktails I lost this lipstick on the beach somewhere so am on the hunt for the perfect red lipstick.
 Do any of you have any recommendations?!

OOTD - Holiday cocktails


Top - Topshop
Black body con skirt - New Look
Gladiator sandals - Spanish market
Ring - Thirteen Jewellery
Bracelet - Pandora

Just a quick little snap here of an outfit what I wore in the evening on holiday. I'm not sure you can see from the pictures too well but I was horribly sun burnt on my upper body so needed something loose fitting and simple to ease my pain!
I'm a great lover of this style of top and now I'm sporting a slight glow I feel much more confident wearing it. My arms are defiantly my most insecure feature and I try to cover them up whenever possible so this was certainly brave for me!

Onto the shoes... I spotted these from afar at a Spanish market we visited and almost ran across the street to them! This may come as a miniature surprise for a few of you but these are in fact my first pair of gladiator sandals - yes I am fully aware I am awfully late on the bandwagon here but I just hadn't had a pair jump out at me enough to part with my money before now. They are a gorgeous swede plaited material and are far more expensive looking than the 6Euro price tag I paid!

A 'Face of the night' which I wore to accompany this outfit will be up shortly so keep a look out for that :)

Home sweet home

Hola!
This morning I woke up hoping and praying yesterday had all been a dream and in fact I was still in our beautiful Villa in Spain - alas disappointment soon struck!
My post holiday blues seemed to hit me as soon as I stepped on the plane to return home and are still staying strong! I had such an incredible week relaxing with my family and best friend. We mixed the days up between spending time at our pool and going to the beach then ate out in the evenings followed by many cocktails!
Needless to say even out in Spain I couldn't control my spending habit. The impulse buyer in me defiantly made several appearences last week!


I know in my previous 'How's my hair? 001' post I mentioned I would do a 'Whats in my hand luggage?' type of post buuut as usual I seemed to completely miss judge and under estimate how much time I would need to pack which ended up in me running madly around the house at 2am gathering all I could! So seeing as how I am off away again in a couple of weeks I will make sure to plan my time better and get it up done for you then.

I missed blogging last week and am super excited to get back into the swing of it.
Untill next time...
