Get Ready With Me: Spring Ball


Get Ready With Me: Spring Ball
 Here's a run-down of what I decided to wear to my Spring Ball. Admittedly, this look would probably be more suited to a winter ball, but I didn't go to mine so I guess I'm making up for it now!
I was inspired by this Lisa Eldridge video to go for a cranberry eye and pale lip. I used the Beauty UK Amazon 2 palette which I got a while ago from Superdrug. They were running a 3-for-2 offer, so I got it along with two Beauty UK High Brow Kits.  I also got the chance to try out my new Maybelline Brow Drama. I finished off the eyes with lashings of Mary Kay's Lash Love mascara. I kept the lips simple by applying MUA's Out There Lip Plumping Gloss in the shade 'Buff'.
My jumpsuit, as you may know, is from Topshop (it was in the January sale and is no longer available unfortunately) and I paired it with my pink Kandi Courts from Office. I finished Off the outfit by accessorising with my Michael Kors watch and a studded phone clutch from Topshop.

Some pictures from the night...


I had a great time, and THOROUGHLY enjoyed the free candy floss and popcorn that was on offer all night. 

I hope this gives you some ideas for any big events you have coming up. Let me know if you'd like to see a step-by-step picture tutorial of the entire look!

Thrifty Thursday - AllBeauty






I have always been the type to shop around before I buy something. Now that I'm a student, it's even more important for me to make sure I'm getting a good deal. I've decided that each week I'm going to try and share some tips and tricks that will hopefully save you a few pennies too. This week I'm sharing one of my favourite cosmetics websites - allbeauty.com
Thrifty Thursday





Allbeauty..com (formerly cheapsmells.com) sells thousands of products from well known brands, at well under the RRP. I have bought perfumes from them a few times, one of my favourites being Fantasy by Britney Spears. Smaller volumes of Fantasy can cost £20+ elsewhere, but I bought a 100ml Eau De Parfum and Body Souffle gift set from allbeauty for around £21 a few months back. It is unfortunately no longer available, but The 100ml fragarance alone is still under £20, and there is a 100ml Hidden Fantasy gift set currently going for £13.95 - bargain!
As well as perfumes, you can get many other items - foundations, fake tan, lip balms, nail polishes and hair products - all for amazing prices.
They currently have the Real techniques Starter Set for just £14.25, which I have my eye on...



Have you shopped with allbeauty before? What's your favourite budget beauty site?




Just a note - post is in no way affiliated with allbeauty, I just think the website is great and thought you would too! x

*UPDATE* Allbeauty have now started charging £1.50 for delivery of orders under £15. Delivery for orders over £15 is free.

Wednesday Wishlist 26/03 - Co-ords♥


Wednesday Wishlist 26/03


In the spirit on 90s revivals, it seems co-ordinated outfits are back! Nothing says 90s like a Clueless-style coordinated skirt-suit. This classic style is given a modern makeover with funky cuts and patterns. Shop some of my favourite co-ordinates below!



One of my favourite things about these pieces is that you can mix and match them to create different looks. What's your favourite co-ordinating outfit?
