Quick everyday makeup post, just what i threw on my face before work this morning, it's been so hard to choose what make-up to put on because of the hot weather i feel like it just starts to slide down my face as soon as i get to work because the air-con just doesn't work and is stuck on 26 degrees :|

I never ever wear liquid eyeliner, this is literally so old i don't even know if it's stocked in superdrug anymore but iv'e switched to this instead of my loreal gel intenza gel eyeliner the past few weeks because of the heat, the gel starts to smudge and look messy but the liquid liner does not budge!

And quick fact, the necklace im wearing was once pink, i painted it with an essie nail varnish in fear and desire. DIY

What i'm wearing... to work.

Blazer - h&m

Leather skirt - h&m

leotard - forever 21

boots - matalan

scarf - h&m

bag - topshop

collar - h&m

Just what i wore to work today, not very good pictures because i took them on my phone really quickly before i had to go. I rediscovered this skirt, i bought it last year but it came in the delivery again the other day and i thought hmm i forgot about that! Must wear again!. Also rediscovered this blazer that i bought a couple of years ago, i put it on with an outfit a few weeks ago and decided that i really liked it again, it's double breasted which i really like and it's quite long, it just looks a lot smarter than the blazers weve had recently so i'm really glad i bought it now because it's lasted me so long!

Tomorrow i finally have a day off so i'm going to see paranorman with my old pal Fay, were going to go for lunch aswell somewhere because she has 2 for 1 at bella italia, cafe rouge, ask italian and pizza express, so weve just got to decide where to go! I'll possibly do another outfit post tomorrow, depends if i can be bothered to put anything reasonably nice on because tonight im feeling really sick and ill :(

Primark fur gilet - £20

ASOS swing dress - £18

h&m burgundy jumper - £14.99

Matalan ankle boots - £18

h&m collar - £3.99

Just a mini haul of what i've been buying recently, i didn't buy all of this in one go it's just what i've accumulated over the last few weeks, obviously a lot of it is from h&m because i work there and it's too tempting to buy things when im there eyeing it up all the time. I've been wearing this collar with nearly every outfit because i just think it makes everything look so smart and clean? If that make's sense. 

I've been really excited about autumn recently because it's my favourite time of year, i love October because Halloween is soo exciting, i really want something good to do this year for it, i also bought a little pumpkin spice candle which smells amazing but when it's lit it actually doesn't fill the room like the yankee candles do. I really wish we had a bath and body works over here as well because everybody raves so much about the slatkin & co candles. AND something else which really annoyed me, i went to house of fraser last week to get a 'be thankful' yankee candle because that's the only place that did that scent, and it's been discontinued! :( That was my absolute favourite smell, it literally smelt like autumn in a jar.

Anyway, that was just a quick post to show you some of the items i've been dying to wear recently but it's been too hot! Off to work now :(

Friday #5 Things - 2

1. kitten heels - h&m £24.99

2. Mac studio finish concealor - £14.50

3. Topshop lipstick in beguiled - £8

4. Oversized jumper h&m - £14.99

5. Topshop horror tee - £18

Another friday five things that i've had my eye on recently, i've chosen to do it on friday's because i get paid on friday's so i think it's fitting, i don't necessarily buy all of these things but i ponder over them for a while. In the post previously i showed you two pairs of shoes...
1. the h&m shoes are the ones i'm leaning towards i think!

2. Mac concealer, probably a weird thing to think about because concealer is an everyday product for most people but i don't wear it at all in the day i only wear the dainty doll concealer i posted about when i'm going out to brighten my face under the bronzer and blusher, i think i'm going to buy this concealer because it's had some good reviews, i wanted to get the studio sculpt but i've heard it's being discontinued so what would be the point?

3. Topshop dark red lips!! love this colour, i really want this i've been looking for this type of colour for a while, i bought one from collection 2000 (i think) but it was a horrible consistency, really messy, bled into the cracks in my lips and i had a horrible feeling it was going to go all down my chin and on my teeth whilst i'm at work or shopping or whatever, so i need to swatch this before i buy it but usually the topshop lipsticks are like a creamy matte which would be perfect.

4. This jumper from h&m, i've actually tried it on at work and it fit's perectly, i'm definitly buying this to go under a black fur gilet i bought which i'll post about soon, i also think it would look amazing with some skinny jeans, the topshop lipstick and the shoes!

5. I LOVE this t shirt from topshop, i wish i'd bought it when i first saw it online but i never and now it's sold out and it's not available in ANY store :(  :(  :(

I love it so much, it's so halloweeny and i absolutely love halloween it's my favorite time of year!

REALLY NEED YOUR OPINIONS!

h&m - £24.99

Matalan - £16

So this is an odd post but i really cannot decide between these two shoes, the first ones are beautiful and i love them because they have the metal cap and also metal heel which is perfect, i also like the way the shoe dips in the inside, so much like the zara ones, however the only issue i have with these ones is that the metal is silver, i don't wear much silver so i'd need to buy like a silver collar or something to match them which is not a problem as such! Also i work at h&m so i get discount which means that the two pairs are near enough the same price.

The second pair are from matalan which is really odd for matalan as i think of it as an older persons shop but actually they have some nice shoes and boots on the website, i have bought some ankle boots from there recently which i will post about in a what ive been buying post because i seem to have bought a lot recently for the autumn/winter season as it's my favourite! I really like these because the cap is gold which i think just look's more expensive and i already have a gold collar to match them.

So please please help me decide which ones to buy!

Friday #5 Things...

1. Tom Ford Black Orchid perfume - £85. I've wanted this perfume for soo long, the only reason i haven't got it is because of the price. I'm not prepared to spend that amount of money on a perfume that i don't really think is 'me', my favourite ever perfume is Flowerbomb by Viktor and Rolf which i've been wearing for a few years, Black orchid is nothing like the usual scents i go for e.g. Vera Wang Princess, Marc Jacobs Daisy and Flowerbomb but i just love the smell of it when i'm walking past the Tom Ford perfumes in Selfridges.

2. Revlon Photoready Airbrush - £12.99. My mom bought this foundation today and it's so lovely, it's a mousse foundation but it's a lot more runny than other foundations like Maybelline dream mousse, the consistency is quite thick when your rubbing it in but the finish feels so silky and soft. I would say it's medium coverage, it has a matte finish with a tiny bit of glitter, it feels moisturizing without the dewyness. Im deffo purchasing this when my Rimmel 25hr runs out!

3. Check shorts from h&m - £19.99. Saw these shorts at work the other day and i loved them, I think they look really autumny, Going to buy these tomorrow if my size is in stock.

4. Amber knitted scarf from h&m - £7.99. Going to order this scarf online because i havent seen it in store, love the colour of it, i think it would look good with the shorts, black tights, loafers, an off white shirt, a blazer and a huge tan bag.

5. YSL Rouge Volupte in Peach Passion - £23.50. Really want this lipstick for the packaging more than anything, i think it looks classic. The colour is also lovely, it's a peachy nude pink which goes on creamy and is really pigmented.
