& Other Stories - Carda Red Lamé Lip Gloss

 

As you may remember from my & Other Stories Haul I ended up buying one of their Lip Glosses in Carda Red Lamé which was on SALE from £7.00 down to £3.50.!.

 

This was one hell of a bargain especially considering the pigmentation. It is sooo bright (which I love) and is true to colour. It does have glitter particles which makes it more appropriate for the Night or Christmas but meh I don't mind. To me it just means that lips will look plumper ;)

Once I removed the packaging I was pleasantly surprised to see the engraving "& Other Stories" on the bottle.!. Don't you think this is sooo chiq.!. I just think it makes it look so expensive and classy.!.

The brush is also very nice and soft, I know some people may not find this hygienic but I like it and I don't mind. Also the bottle itself squeezes excess product so you won't be wasting lots of product.

So have you guys tried any Lip Glosses lately?

Shirt & Red Jean (Casual Outfit)

Scared you might look a bit too flashy with Red Jeans? Well fear not.!. 

Here's a casual way you can style it.!.

I know what your thinking..."its a really bright colour and my thunder thighs will quite literally stick out like a sore thumb" Don't worry.!. Red (in my experience Red suits almost everybody and anybody.

Light Blue Denim Shirt:
is sooo lightweight so its perfect for those summer days that aren't too hot.!. And as its so light it'll help tone down the red. I got this from GAP on sale reduced from £29.95 to £14.99.!. To me this is a bargain considering the quality and durability of most GAP clothing that I've previously owned.!.

Red Jeans:
These are from H&M they weren't on sale but I bought these a while ago so you might be lucky and find them later on. But anyway I got these for £14.99 and these are skinny jeans style so they'll fit to your body nicely.

So why not try wearing a dash of colour this summer?

P.S. I would recommend you wear a neutral colour shoe like white, black, or blue so there's not too much going on.!.

Sunset Nails

Inspiration from here

 With these gorgeous summer days why not try and paint these hot Sunset Nails. Its really easy to do and will suit short or long nails.!. (I've done them on mine and my sisters nails.!)

L.A. Colors Art Deco - Red & Black, Rimmel - 440 Orange Bliss, & BarryM - 307 Lemon Ice Cream

1. Your going to need to paint your entire nail orange.!.

2. Once its completely dry, with your Yellow nail polish paint on streaks (like there would be in the sky) these would look almost like clouds/highlights.

3. Do the same but with a red nail polish. BUT keep it to lower down the nail so that there is a sorta a gradual tone. (and surrounding the bottom of the yellow.)

4. With a nail polish with a thin brush draw on the shape. (Now if you look in the picture below you'll see on my little finger the main shape you will need for the tree.! Just try to copy this and then after ad more branches in random directions.!.

5. To add the bird just add a dot, then from that dot make a "V" shape and from the end the "V" add a downward flick.

5. And Viola.! your done.!.! Remember to clean up these edges and let me know how you guys get on with these?

P.S. Even without the design i think the background looks pretty cool on its own too.!.

Boat Shoe Haul (Risky)

Recently I popped into Risky in Vicarage Field shopping centre, and managed to snag myself these super cheap shoes!!

These only cost £4 each.!.!.! That's absolute madness considering these are a really cute Boat Shoe Style with tassels.

These Red ones are soo cute and I think they would look best with a pair of jeans and white t-shirt. (Simple Casual, but with a hint of colour)

And these Black ones could be used for work, (if you don't normally wear heels) or for a casual day out too.

P.S. They are really light. Seriously they don't weigh a thing but of course ; like any shoe your gonna have to break into them!
