February Weekend Clothing Haul

I went shopping over the weekend and picked up a few things. I wanted a few new tops for the spring time and for when I go to Expo in May. I went to New Look and Dorothy Perkins in Outfit. (Outfit carry Top Shop, Miss Selfridge, Dorothy Perkins, Wallis, Evans, Burtons and more) This is the stuff I picked up:


Dorothy Perkins

T Shirts £5 each or 3 for £12 (I got a black one too but I'm wearing it so couldn't take a photo as it's all stretched out from me wearing it)




I love these t shirts. They're very simple and they come in all kinds of colours (white, black, red, green, blue and yellow). I got white, yellow and black obviously. What I love is that they're really easy to match with jeans :) I can also wear them underneath jumpers for warmth.





New Look

Black button top
Approx £18

I already have a 'wool' version of this but they also make a cotton version which you can see below. I debated in my head whether or not I'd like to get it because it's the same as the wool one I have. I decided to get it in the end because it will make a lovely top for the warmer weather.








Love And Kisses Jumper
£25

When I first saw this it was on the store mannequin. I thought it was cute but I didn't think it would suit me. However, I tried it on anyway and I was really pleasantly surprised :) It is now one of my favourite jumpers :)

February Haul

I went shopping yesterday and stopped by a few stores. I went into New Look and Miss Selfridge in Outfit and got some stuff. I couldn't remember the prices on some of the items I got and I've thrown the tags away so I have given a rough estimate in some cases. I'm usually not bad at guessing prices ;) Hehe.

All the stuff I got is for spring/summer.


Clothing

All from New Look And Miss Selfridge.

I saw this NYC t-shirt and just couldn't resist. I love NYC and I love stuff with photos of NYC on it so this had all that. I love it!

T Shirt: £22






I also loved this cardie when I first saw it. You wear it open as it has no buttons/zip. It's light pink and very light cotton which will be great for summer.

Cardie £16






I really needed jeans because I have recently lost weight and nearly all of my jeans are now too big :( I love these ones from Miss Selfridge. They're skinny jeans and they fit SO comfortably. They wash pretty well too!

Jeans £25 (You get a student discount at Miss Selfridge so don't forget to show your card if you're a student!)




Jewellery

All from New Look.

I loved this baby pink beaded necklace and matching bracelet. They're ridiculously cute!

Necklace: £5
Bracelet: £3








Also got this pink/silver bracelet with different shaped beads that have a little detail on them.

Bracelet Approx £5




I got this pink rose ring. At first I wasn't fussed on it but then I saw a girl who worked at the store wearing it and I thought it looked really pretty so I got it.



And finally I got this adorable pink bow hairband. I loooove this hairband way too much, haha.

Hairband Approx £5

Review: Mac Studio Sculpt Foundation

MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation

Shade: NW15

Swatch of this shade below:



What is it?

A creamy gel based foundation. My particular shade is NW15. The formula is waterproof, long wearing and has SPF 15. You can ask a MAC artist at any MAC store or counter to advise you on the right shade for your skin tone. They will even give you a free sample if you’d like to try the product before you buy it. Just ask at the store/counter for a sample. I asked for a sample before I bought this product and my sample jar still has lots of product in it. I ended up purchasing the foundation before I ran out :)




How much is it?
Fairly expensive at £22.50 but well worth the price in my opinion.

What is the coverage like?

This foundation provides medium to high coverage. It does exactly this in my opinion. It covered the natural redness in my cheeks very well and made my skin look picture perfect. It covers nasty red spots nicely too!

It should be mentioned that this foundation is more suited for dryer skin as it has a moisturising and creamy texture.

How do I use it?

Best applied with a foundation brush or clean fingers in my opinion. The important thing to remember with this foundation (and this applies to mineral and liquid foundations too) is you shouldn’t be heavy handed when you apply it because by doing so you can end up removing the foundation instead of applying it. The formula is very thick and creamy so a little goes a long way.

Any scent?

No, none at all

What's the lasting power like?

It's as to be expected from a MAC foundation - excellent. I wore this when dancing and it didn't budge.

Buy again?

YES! I have finally found my favourite MAC foundation! This is going to be a staple in my makeup bag from now on. I love it.
