Collection Super Size Fat Lash Mascara Review

I have got to admit I did not expect much from this mascara as it only costs £2.99 (can be bought here) but I have continued to repurchase it! Although there are many positives to this mascara, there actually are a few negative points also:

As you can see this mascara definitely adds length to my lashes, I just wish it added a little more volume but for £2.99 I still think it is pretty impressive. I love the massive brush and unlike others I don't find its too big that it puts mascara on my lid too, which is so annoying especially if I have just put eye shadow on! With Collection mascaras I find that they dry out quickly but I don't find that this is the case for this product. However the thing that annoys me with this mascara is that it does not hold a curl! My lashes just seem to go soft after a couple of hours and it doesn't even feel like I have mascara on yet my lashes still look long and dark. Overall for £2.99 I think this product is great, I'm on my 3rd tube!

Trend: kimonos

I have noticed that kimonos are featured in stores and online a lot recently. I love them as I feel they can be dressed up with something such as a dress but also can be dressed down with jeans. The trend can also easily be transferred to spring/summer. There are a wide variety of colours, patterns and materials available which gives great choice and leaves everyone satisfied. Here are a few of my top picks:

Wednesday Wishlist

1/2/3/4

1. I am dying to get my hands on a pastel jumper in either pink, blue or mint! I think they are so beautiful and are great for a transition from winter to spring. The one I have featured is from Topshop but I have also seen a really lovely pink one in Newlook which I am sure can be bought at a much cheaper price!

2. I have a love/hate relationship with asymmetric skirts. I love them because I think they look edgy and can be worn in many ways however I hate that I have visions of me in one with a crop top, a look I could never pull off. Who knows maybe I will purchase one and wear a longer top with it!

3. Frilly socks are the cutest! They are a must for me right now to wear with boots as it adds a quirky edge to an outfit. Topshop have so many different colour options, all only for £3.50! They also stock patterned ones which are lovely.

4. Ah I am dying to get my hands on this but it would set me back £90. As far as I know the camera comes in pale pink, pale blue and white which are all mega cute! Also patterned film can be bought which adds a fun side to taking photos!

Recent Purchase: combat boots

Quiz is not normally a store I shop in but when I got an email from them which displayed these boots I fell in love! even thought they are not my usual look, I do need to change it up though. However having no money they were a bit pricey for me at £34.99 so I just put them to the back of my mind but was pleasantly surprised when my boyfriend ordered me them!

I got my boots in taupe (which can be bought here) but they also come in dark pink and cream. The lace part is actually see through so I can not wait to wear these with vintage wash jeans and thick socks. The boots actually look really sturdy which I was surprised by and I expect (hopefully) that they will last a long time. So overall I am really happy with these boots and so far think they are totally worth it!

Do you ever shop at Quiz?

Upcoming Trend: Sheer

Sorry I don't have an outfit today, I honestly haven't been going anywhere that requires a nice one. Also I totally outfit repeated last weekend! Instead I thought I would share an upcoming trend which I love with you and that is sheer detailing - whether it be mesh or transparent plastic. Here are some looks from the spring/summer 2014 catwalks:

Calvin Klein Spring 2014 Ready-to-Wear Collection

Reed Krakoff Spring 2014 Ready-to-Wear Collection

Theyskens' Theory Spring 2014 Ready-to-Wear Collection

Some high street stores/websites are already stocking the trend which is great for the price conscious (like me)! This also means that you can get on top of the trend early. In spring/summer I know I never want to wear heavy fabrics in the heat so this trend is perfect also if you aren't keen on showing  certain parts of your body off a bandeau or vest top can easily be worn underneath. Here are some items of clothing I found online under 'new stock':

Weekly Wishlist #2

I've decided not to do my weekly wishlists on a specific website but instead include various ones. Here are the things I really want to purchase at the moment:

1/2/3/4

1. I have wanted chunky heeled boots that I can wear during the day for ages! They would go with so many things such as skirts, dresses and trousers so I think they would be a great purchase. However the ones pictured are from Topshop and are priced at £70 which is way to high a price point for a poor student like me! I have seen some cheaper versions in Primark which I would rather purchase so look out for them!

2. I am a bit late on the band wagon but I cant get the look of a tartan pinafore dress with a cropped black tee under out of my head!

3.I am sad to say I have never tried Real Techniques brushes! I have been looking into them lately as I am addicted to watching the Pixiwoo sisters on YouTube and I think I have convinced myself to purchase the core collection as all of the brushes are ones I would gladly use.

4. River Island bags are beautiful! I am in love with this satchel due to the neutral colour with the pop of pink on the inside. I always go into the store and just stare at the bags hoping that one day Ill have enough spare money to buy one!

Clinique chubby stick review

I received a chubby stick in the shade 'woppin' watermelon' for Christmas and I have got to admit at first I was not too impressed with it.. however I have grown to love it!

 As you can tell the colour is not red like you would expect from the name but instead appears to be a vivid pink. However it applys as a natural pink, something which I really did not like at first but now I love it as it can be applied literally anywhere without a mirror! It is described as a 'moisturising lip colour balm' so I think that I was expecting too much from the product.

My chubby stick lives in my handbag 24/7. I used to be addicted to using chapsticks whenever I could but this product has quickly replaced them due to how moisturising it is. It also feels exactly like a chapstick and is comfortable on the lips.

The obvious downside is that they are not very pigmented, however that can be expected from a moisterising balm. Also they can be bought here for £17 which may be too pricey for many people.. including me! There are many cheaper alternatives such as L'Oreal's glam shin balmy glosses for £6.99 and also Revlon's colourburst matte and lacquer balms for £7.99, none of which I have tried but definitely plan to!

Have you tried any of these products?
