The Detachable...

Parka: Zara / Boots: Office / Jeans: Topshop / Body: Republic / Earrings: Regal Rose

How edgy is that parka! Its so tough looking; perfect if you want to stick to this years highly popular trend of Military...! I think the acid wash jeans add to the rough look and the gold earrings add some much needed feminism!

What do you think of this look? Have you found your perfect winter coat yet - I haven't?


Benefit High Beam Dupe...!

Technic High Lights (flash on this individual picture)
Swatched

Finally; I've found it! Forget Me Me Me Beat the Blues this tops even that!
Technic is not a very recognized brand but to be honest I now have a couple of things from the brand and they're bad for a cheaper make-up brand! But this highlighter just stands above the rest! Although I don't own Benefit High Beam Victoria does and she really feels it is as good as High Bean; Victoria wrote a lovely little review about this product HERE so you should defiantly check that out!

Personally I think this is a fantastic highlight and for £2.75 with free p&p its an absolute bargain! You can get your own High Lights HERE

What do you think of High Lights? Have you got High Lights or would you rather pay for the real deal?

They're Mighty Fine..

1. Hubabuba Black Glitter Wedge - Miss Selfridge:
2. Lassie Leopard Stack Platforms - Topshop
3. Wah Wah Wedge Black - Office
4. Mary High Heel Black Suede Natural Heel - Jeffrey Campbell

How damn gorgeous are these heels! I seriously LOVE them so much! I've never really been as keen on colored high heels; I usually just stick to black. I also don't like stilettos as much as I like a chunkier heel or a wedge. Mary Janes have always been my favorite style of heel and then running closely behind would be Wedges. I just noticed all of these shoes have buckles; maybe its just buckled heels then; I don't know but recently I have had even more of a love affair with heels than normal! Oh well; I'm doing no harm!

What do you think of heels? Do you love thick heels like me or do you prefer stilettos?

Beauty Wishlist #1


1. Beauty Blender: I've been wanting a Beauty Blender for a while now and this month I'm defiantly going to order one! At £14.40 this small pink sponge is quiet highly priced so I will probably buy the Cosmopolitan one instead; more reasonably priced at around £5.00. As the weather gets colder my skin often gets really poor and sometimes I get spots so during the Winter I often wear foundation and too make my foundation blend in more and look more flawless I think the Beauty Blender would be perfect!

2. Sleek Oh So Special Palette: I don't really know what makes me want to try this palette but I have heard raving reviews about Sleek's eye-shadows and to me this is one of their nicest palettes; I love the colors!

3. Benefit The Porefessional: If I'm wearing a foundation I want a good base and most people say The Porefessional does just that; so I'm hoping to give it a go and see if it does hide my pores.

4. MAC Marilyn Monroe Powder Blush - The Perfect Cheek: MAC just released a Marilyn Monroe collection and normally I'm not bother by new collections but I absoloutly love the look of this one! Most of the eye-shadows look pretty average and I don't often get the chance to wear lipstick (plus I prefer glosses/balms) but this blush looks absolutely stunning; its the shade really - it looks so natural and feminine. 

5. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm - Cherish: Everybody's talking about these at the moment and personally Cherish is my favorite color; so I'm going to give it a go and see what I think of them and maybe buy more.

6. Topshop Highlighter - Crescent Moon: I'm loving highlighters right now and I thought this would be a great one to test and wear!

- Apologies for all makeup related items this month; I haven't seen anything else that really interests me at the moment.

What are you wishing you had this month?

Military Grunge

This Autumn is all about Military & Grunge. Weather it be khaki combats or big chunky boots everybody is loving it! However we don't want to spend too much on one trend when it will be gone in a couple more months! So I've search all over the internet to find three perfect looks from three completely different shops! See which look you prefer...
