New Look Fashion Look 01 | Ideas

Hi there!

I was looking through New Look website the other day and came across this blogging idea.

I absolutely love New Look, I think all their clothes are on trend, good quality and fit really well. Lots of shops now days have clothes with really odd fitting clothes I feel, however New Look always seem to have a range of sizes which fit perfectly.

I've come up with a variety of different outfits, some of which I'd love to wear myself and others which I still like however are not my usual picks. I thought I'd start off with something I absolutely love! 

1 - Blue Acid Wash Skinny Genes

£22.99

2 - Grey and Black Aztec Long Sleeve Crop Top

£12.99

3 - Parisian Black Fur Collar Bomber Jacket

£44.99

4 - Gold Cut Out Sandblast Cuff

£5.99

5 - Black Caged Platform Wedges

£29.99

This outfit is something which I would really love to buy, I love days where skinny genes and a casual top are all you need. The jacket gives the look a bit more of an edgy feel and the wedges can be swapped with flat shoes if you prefer. The whole outfit comes in at just over £115 which when you put it that way I know sounds a lot. However each of the parts of the outfit can be used with other pieces of your wardrobe, not just necessarily for this look. The jacket is the piece of clothing which brings the price up however this is obviously optional.

I have more outfits from New Look ready to blog about so keep a look out!

Don't forget to comment as I love to hear what you think, if you have any of these pieces from New Look then show me how you wear them too! Also follow me on Bloglovin!

All of these images are from the New Look website (the links will bring you to the product where the picture will show) however I made them into the collage. All prices right on 18/09/13

MUA Eyeshadow Palette 'UNDRESSED' | Ideas

Hi there!

So I posted a review of the MUA Eyeshadow Palette 'UNDRESSED' which can be found here and promised that I would then blog again about the looks I created and share some ideas. Well I've had a little practice and after a while of trying different creations I've got together a few ideas that hopefully you'll enjoy! 

These were all created using the MUA Eyeshadow Palette 'UNDRESSED'

01

So this one is a little bit of a smokey but at the same time subtle look (if that's possible?) which I enjoyed wearing as it gave a glow to my eyes. I have shade 2 as a base coat and then blended shade 8 onto the outer half of my eyelid. I then took shade 10 and blended that into the crease area and then into shade 8 too. Finally I highlighted my smokey effect with shade 1. I do also have a small amount of Avon SuperShock Gel Eyeliner which I've previously reviewed and can be found here.

02

This look is much more natural then look 01 and feels and looks really summery. It's a real mixture between a sparkly girly look but also brings in the natural colors to showcase a more festival look? For this I used shade 3 as a base and then shade 9 for the outer half of my eye. I blended this into the base coat a little. I then used shade 10 to add on top of shade 9 slightly (this shade didn't cover half but more of a third) and bought it into the crease line where I again blended. For the tear duct area I added shade 6 gently and then bought it also onto the bottom eye line for the outer third. To finish off I added shade 1 again for a highlighting effect. For this look I am not wearing any eyeliner but just mascara.

03

This is my last look for this post, it has a lovely blue tone to it. I didn't use a base coat for this as I was using darker colours and didn't see the need to clog my eyelids up with eyeshadow when it wasn't going to make much of a difference; so I went straight to shade 11 and covered the outer half of my eye with this. I  then added shade 2 (a lot lighter shade) onto the inner half of my eye and blended this into the outer blue shade. I used shade 8 for the crease area and then smudged this up to the edge of my browbone too, creating the smokey effect. To finish off I once again added shade 1 to highlight.

As you can tell from these three looks you do tend to use the same shades for the same area. For example I used shade 1 for all of the highlighting in every look.

I hope you've enjoyed having a peak at some of the ideas that can be created using just the MUA Eyeshadow Palette 'UNDRESSED' and if you decide to blog on this too then do leave the link in a comment and I'll take a look!

Barry M Nail Art | Ideas

Hi there!

Well this is my first blog post and I thought I'd start of with something I really love - nail art! Nail art has been something that I have been doing for a few years now and I admit I'm not the best at it but you don't have to be to enjoy it! Here are some of the ones I have created myself...

This is one of my favourite designs and for many reasons, one being its so easy to do, you just paint a base colour and then paint on some simple heart shapes. It's also one of my favourites because its a deigns that you can experiment with a lot, you can mix and match colours and use a lot of variety. The colours I used here were 'Barry M Matt White 66' for the base, 'Barry M Blueberry 306' and 'Barry M Berry I/C 308'. Its a great simple design to start of with if you want a quick and easy look.

This again is one of my favourite designs, I love the sparkle and glitzy look that they give. Again its an easy design to achieve with just two Barry M nail vanishes, for this I used 'Barry M Magenta Glitter 336' and 'Barry M Aqua Glitter 340'. I love these glitter polishes however I do think they are easier to use if you just want a sparkly top layer and not a full glitter nail, this way they take a longer time to dry and can smudge quite easily, all in all though they are still a great nail vanish!

This again is a really simple design that takes no time at all. Its a good way to jazz up your nails without a lot of effort. Again its also nice because you can pick a lot of different colours to create many different looks. For this I used 'Barry M Bright Pink 279', 'Barry M Matt White 66' and 'Barry M Spring Green 290'.

This is the final design for this post and I thought I'd end it with a bit of a more adventurous kind of look? This (I know I've probably said this for all of them) is one of my absolute favourites, I love the different textures and colours and I think again its quite an easy look to achieve. For the I used 'Barry M Matt White 66', 'Barry M Nail Effects 311' and 'Barry M Magenta Glitter 336'.

I really hope that you've enjoyed my first attempt at this and hopefully there is going to be loads more to come. As you have probably guessed I am a bit of a Barry M fan, I absolutely LOVE their nail vanishes, they have amazing colour choices and they are at a fab price! If you have any questions on how some of the designs were actually made and want me to go over them in a bit more detail then feel free to comment or contact me through twitter and I'll have a go!
