I Changed My Mind.

Maybelline - EyeStudio color tattoo 24hr cream gel eyeshadow - On and on bronze - £4.99

With such rave reviews I picked this up pretty much straight after the launch. Since then I've struggled to make it work for me. Usually in this situation, it would of been passed on to a willing friend but something told me to keep it. Recently I had a massive clear out and promised myself that I would use those products that have been lingering at the back of my makeup drawers unloved. One morning I decided I was going to try something different and went with the flow. I created a simple smokey eye purely with this shade and my fingers. I applied the product to the outer corner of my lid and blended outwards into the crease. It was easy to blend out and offered a simple daytime eye look. I must admit that I have completely changed my mind on this product and now feel its a staple! The formula is beautifully creamy however be warned as I have noticed inconsistencies with other shades (Eternal gold, I'm looking at you).

I'd love to know if you've had any dramatic turnarounds with a product?

wish list #1 Topshop


Links: Coral, Purple, Mint


Links: Grey, Pink

Today I'm going to introduce a new thing to my blog and that being wish lists, sharing with you my recent obsessions and wants. I would love to call it weekly wish list with the alliteration going on but it's unlikely I'll be that faithful to the idea or fall in love with that many clothes, okay maybe the last bit was a lie. Today my focus in all on topshop, one of my favourite high street brands to lose my pay check to. I had to begin with frilly socks, as the horrible weather is starting to come back I love nothing more than boots with cute little ankle socks. I already own a cream pair and the same coral ones pictures above but I need them in every colour! Next is jumpers and i'm loving them at the moment, still regretting not buying a gorgeous one from newlook. The grey marl speckle trend is a love of mine as well as pastels which I refused to hide away even though its considered a summer trend. If you've seen a pretty knits feel free to let me know below as well as any clothes you're currently lusting over.
