BEAUTY EDIT

I've been meaning to make a post about make-up so I could share with you guys some make-up tips and products that I absolutely adore, and here it is, finally! I know it's quite a handful (that's not even half of what I have-- dear lord I need to stop myself... oh well) but I've handpicked my favorites and here they are-- 

1 SLEEK UK's Face form 

This has got to be the best blush/contour/highlighter combo I've ever tried, you can pile on as much as you want on your face and not look like a hoochie. Just a sassy girl with really nice cheekbones and a really nice glow.

2 Chantecaille's Future Skin Oil Free Gel Foundation

I think I've found my foundation soulmate with this one, and I thought i'd pile it with my collection of foundations but I've been using it everyday!It's the perfect mix of light and dewy plus it has that really pleasant smell every time I apply it. It's also perfect for sensitive skin and covers up really well.

3 Maybelline's Magnum Volum Express

I've tried so many mascara's over the years and everytime I'm on a tight budget, (which is almost everytime too) this is my go-to mascara. get. one. now. 

4 MAC Cherish/ Heroine/ Ruby Woo/Lipstick

Do I even need to say why?

Okay fine. When choosing lipstick colors, these 3 are the basic things any classy girl should have in her make up bag...something nude, a classy red, and a wild purple for that additional drama. I'm not a pink shade lipstick girl, so unless you are, then maybe you can add that on your list too. ;)

5 Mac Beguile Brow Set

I use this to make my brows neater after applying my brow pencil and I went with this shade since it suits my skin color. Brow Tip: using a thin U-shaped brush, dab concealer under your eyebrows ( while drawing the shape you want to form) and blend to give off that super neat line. 

6 Laura Mercier foundation primer

You can never really go wrong with Laura Mercier. I love this, and I'll be using this forever. (If I earn enough money that is.)

CHARLOTTE

(Mango top and bag/ Forever21 trousers/ Charlotte Olympia heels/ Fossil Watch/ Project Kat bracelet)

I can't describe the exact feeling I had as soon as I got ahold of these mascot low-heeled shoes from Charlotte Olympia, all i knew was that I was dancing around--probably like a leprechaun that found his pot of gold. That would be the best description I could think of. No. I probably did look like that while I was dancing.(hahahaha! lololol, rofl, lmao, trololol) I wore it as soon as I got it the next day and I paired it with whites of course to make the shoes stand out. It was as comfortable as I expected it to be and I really do agree with the saying that good shoes take you to good places. I know I may have spent quite a few bucks on these babes, but when it comes to shoes, and bags, and sunglasses, it's better to invest on these things, and then you can start looking for affordable tops and bottoms to pair it with and still pull off a very classy look. I used to not care about shoes this much but there's just something about opening a shoebox from Charlotte Olympia that makes it all so worth it...

TL X PROJECTKAT GIVEAWAY

(Ezra skirt/ Acne leather sandals/ Essenxa blouse/ Project KatAccessories Necklace and Bracelets/Louis Vuitton Clutch Bag)

Today, I decided to go for a more mature look by wearing this fit and flare skirt with a dirty white blouse while adding young and fun details like these bright and colorful accessories that I absolutely adore. The thing I love the most about these bracelets are the fact that they can make any plain outfit look more daring and outgoing just by stacking them. I went for a classy (yet you can totally talk to me because I'm a fun person) look and I hope it was achieved.

RETAIL THERAPY

(Acne Tillie Leather Sandals/ Mango Croc Bag and Rebecca Minkoff Heels get them here)

I think I may have found the perfect pair of shoes from Acne. I literally danced around like a kid when I saw the Net-A-Porter package in my bed. I immediately tried them on and oh my, do I now understand how people can walk around in heels the whole day. The pale blue leather and black soles were so soft I knew I could wear them the whole day. It was so light, I felt closer to shoe heaven and I know I will always be browsing Net-A-Porter every time I find a chair to sit on. Not only do they have such a beautiful variety of designer items, they also deliver your package magically. I seriously don't get how my package arrived in two days. It's crazy and I love it!!

I was so happy to finally own a small black classic bag from Mango that could fit my essentials--a wallet,phone and make-up and I could easily picture wearing them with a white cami and a black maxi. I may also have obsessed a bit on these Rebecca Minkoff heels as soon as I saw it was on sale at Zalora. I tried to press the purchase button about three times before finally deciding that I'm getting them or else I couldn't sleep well. 

Now I know I'm going to have the sweetest of dreams.
