New Maybelline 24hr Color Tatoo Shades in Metallic Pomegranite & Everlasting Navy

I have loved the colour tattoo cream eyeshadows since they were first launched here in the UK. However, some of the recent shades they have launched just have not been for me. When I popped into my local Superdrug this week and saw these 2 new shades, Metallic Pomegranate and Everlasting Navy, I didn't even think I just bought. 

These 2 shades are gorgeous, I love the bronzeness of the 'Metalic Pomegranate' shade and the gold flex in it look really nice on the lid.

'Everlasting Navy' is an equally gorgeous colour and one that would suit all eye colours. 

The great thing about these cream eyeshadows is that you have the option to either wear them as a light wash over the lids or build them up to a deep colour. They are also really good as a base before applying a powder eyeshadow and for £5 you can not really go wrong.

Overall I am really impressed with the Maybelline 24hr Colour tattoos and I highly recommend these shades, they would suit all eye colours! Superdrug has a 3 for 2 across all makeup in store so if you are thinking of buying them then now would be a good time. Let me know if you have tried these 2 new shades and what you think. 

The Holiday Edit AKA The Summer Checklist

The Holiday Summer Edit 

The Check List

1 Sunglasses - Rayban Wayfarers are my all time favourite sunglasses. You can see them in this post here

2 SPF - Face and body. SPF is really important regardless whether you are on holiday or not. I always wear SPF on my face, on top of my moisturiser. This Clarins SPF here is my favorite City spf

3 A day to night bag. I particularly like the Kurt Geiger one, here

4 Fun coloured bikinis (I love this one here and this Topshop one here)

5 Bright nail polish - I love wearing bold colours on my nails in the Summer and they look great when I have a little tan 

6 A sun hat - to be honest this is not a necessity but they do look great.

7 Bronzer - Personally I love a bronzer with a bit of sparkle in the summer, this Guerlain one is gorgeous

8 Bold Lip colours, this one is gorgeous here.  

9 A great pair of heeled sandals. (These here are definitely on my wishlist and these here)

The Office Beauty Edit

While I am at work there are a few essentials that live on my desk, these include: Burt’s bees hand cream, (thick consistency so it is really good for very dry hands), Korres hand cream ( a lighter formulation to the Burt’s Bees), Sally Hanson cuticle treatment, Smith's Rosebud salve, Super Coconut lip balm and Diptyque Oyedo fragrance (This smells like oranges)What are your at work essentials?

Vintage Floral Love

This dress is probably one of my favourite vintage pieces I own. I love the print, the length and the fact it can be worn open as a gilet/jacket as well as buttoned up as a dress. What is your favourite vintage piece of clothing? I teamed this dress up with my comfiest printed heels by Caroline Issa by LK Bennett. By pure coincidence the print of the dress and heels is pretty much identical. I teamed the look with a cute acrylic orange clutch from asos.

Harley Davidson meets the Neon Biker Coat

I have been a little absent from posting lately, I just never seem to have enough time. I am going to try and post more frequently now. This is a truly British introduction to Spring, it is still chilly and we still have Autumn leaves. Sping is my favourite season as it normally means you do not need to layer up as you do during Winter but you still need to wear a light coat. I am not crazy about the Winter as I do not like the cold and in the Summer, if it is really hot you just can not accessorise (blazer, gilet etc) so Spring is the perfect in between.  Which season do you like the most for styling?

How cute are these arm rap bracelets and the wonderland I phone case from Lavand Boutique! I love layering up bracelets and these two are great for that.

Add a pop of neon to your wardrobe

Neon, every other season it appears in every form, in clothing and accessories. I have to admit I do like neon accents as I  love adding a pop of colour to an outfit. The neon items I have in my closet include a Topshop neon pink knitted jumper, neon yellow socks (which to be honest I have as of yet to wear) and a neon satchel. I preffer wearing the neon pieces I own with neutral colours like nude and cream as appose to a completely apposing colour like black. Below I have listed some of my favourtie neon pieces that are in stores at the moment. What neon items do you have and how to do you style them?
