No7 Moisture Drench Lipstick

Give me the choice between cool tones and warm tones and I will choose warm. My complexion and hair colour just suit them more, simple as that. HOWEVER, I was browsing my local Boots No7 counter recently and the Moisture Drench Lipstick in Shade 50 'Cameo' caught my eye. It is a cool-toned sheer pink with a subtle lilac/blue shimmer shot through. I think the only reason I can pull this off is because of its lack of opacity, but I just cannot stop wearing it. The photos do not do it any justice, and you can't see the shimmer, but if you have a No7 counter near you go check it out!

FOTD: An English Rose

And finally I can relax! The past few days have consisted of lots of entertaining for friends visiting from home; late nights and long days. Finally I can relax, so this wonderful Sunday night will consist of nail-painting and movie-watching. I. am. Ecstatic!

This was my face of the day (FOTD). Whenever I wear this sort of look, I tend to feel very Kate Winslet, or akin to any other classy English lass! It really is all about the lip, and for this look I love No.7 Lip Liner in Caramel with either Rimmel (Kate Moss) Lasting Finish Lipstick in 008 or No.7 Stay Perfect Lipstick in Bare.

Fueled by colour.

So you will have probably noticed by now that I am all for submerging yourself in as much colour as possible through your outfit choices! I have always been that way..choosing the oranges and turquoises over beige and more beige. Below is a picture of one of my clothing racks, in particular one displaying my scarves: layer upon layer of bright patterns!

Don't get me wrong, there are some definite neutral staples in my wardrobe, but if I can wear colour, then I will! It just fits my super happy and excited personality more =D! In a pretty grey country like England, the colour does wonders for my mood, making me feel like I'm off in the tropics..if only for a little while :)! Today I'm going colour-blocking, with a turquoise eye.

DIY = Do It Yay!

Here's an adorable little dress that my mama and I constructed last month out of some awesome fabric that she found. It's a flamingo/coral pink base, with indigo, black and taupe print. It sounds so gross, I realise, when I describe it..but it is sooo unique and gorgeous! I paired it with a chunky red necklace and nude sandals.

I bought a lovely green dress in a little boutique called Red Ginger in Cairns, Australia a couple years ago. I LOVE the style of it, but can never seem to find others like it when I'm out shopping! So with this fabric, I decided to make this dress with the same pattern. My madre is a textile genius, and she had a quick look at the green dress and cut out a rough pattern based on the two panels of the dress (front and back). We made some tweaks as I kept trying it on and wanting to change things, but the end result is fab (I think!). There are halter straps if I want to wear it that way, but I tucked them in to make it a strapless number today =D.

I added a colour pop of purple on the lower lashline (No7 Metalic Eyes Pencil in 05 Purple with Urban Decay Fishnet Eyeshadow over the top).

Made anything you're proud of lately?? I'd love to see!
