work's do


I went to my work's do last night which was at Chester Racecourse, a 3 course dinner with magicians, a disco and lots of booze. I knew I wanted to wear this dress* because it's just so blimin' gorgeous. However I had nothing else to go with it, so I made a last minute dash into town to try and find a bag and shoes. The satin bag was from Debenhams and matches the dress perfectly. The shoes on the other hand were a massive pain in the arse! There's absolute crap in the shops at the mo, so my options were very limited. I find it really hard to shop for heels because I'm a 5.5, so 6's are too big and 5's are too small. I first bought a pair of nude heels, no idea why because they were massive. So had to quickly go out again and get them refunded whilst trying to find a suitable pair of shoes. In the end I stumbled across these which were from Wallis (a shop I never go into!). And they were just perfect and on sale too! I was so made up :D. The night was so much fun and I didn't have a hangover this morning, result!

makeup haul

Makeup Haul
Soo I really wasn't going to buy all of this stuff, but it sort off just happened, whoops! I only went into Debenhams to get samples of the YSL Touche Eclat foundation but I walked away with quite a bit more :O.I was matched to B40 in the foundation, it is such a perfect colour for me. The product itself is to die for, I was wearing it all weekend and I just didn't want to take it off.

Debenhams were also doing a deal on this set of 3, including the YSL Faux Cils Mascara, Touche Eclat Concealer and the Serum. So I decided, heck why not! I was going to save a lot of money plus I've wanted to try these products for a long time!

I bought NARs Cactus Flower blush off ASOS. I've wanted it for ages now and thought why not get it, and I'm so glad I did, the blush is beautiful, so creamy and pigmented, giving a nice flush to the cheeks.

I can't wait to try these out more and do some reviews on them :). The thing is, since I work in pharmaceutical production I can't wear any makeup so I only get to slap it on at the weekends! Oh well ^_^ got to make the most of it.
