My Beauty Essentials

Firstly, apologies for not updating my blog for a few weeks now, I have been unwell :-( but now I'm back on the mend and can get back onto the fashion blogging!

So today, a little treat from Selfridges arrived for me ~ my clearly mac trio make-up bags and my Nars Orgasm blusher and Turkish Delight lipgloss! 

I have been reading about the Nars Orgasm blush for a while now and after hearing of it being the"ultimate authority in blush" and being "the industry's most iconic shade for cheeks", I had to try it for myself.
As with the Orgasm blush, I heard great reviews about the Turkish Delight Lipgloss, even heard it was Kim Kardashians must have lipgloss....(and I'm a big fan of the Kardashian's look) so thought I'd try out this pretty punchy peach shade. 
As my pretty packaged make-up only arrived today, I haven't yet had a chance to try it out but as soon as I do, I will post an updated on it.


Also pictured is one of my new make-up bags with my make-up essentials of:-

HD Brows Pallette in Vamp

Bobbi Brown Bronzer in Golden Light

Bobbi Brown Blusher in Pink Coral (gives a nice flush of colour with a hint of sparkle)

Bobbi Brown Lipstick in Bikini Pink (nude/pinky shade)

Mac Lipgloss in Underage & Florabundance (neutral / nude shades)

Mac Lipstick in Lady Danger (vibrant bright red)

Mac Wonder Woman limited edition Mascara

YSL Mascara

YSL Touche Eclat Highlighter

Barry M Lipgloss in Milkshake (a pretty pink shade that won't break the bank)

I'm also inheriting my Mums collection of new Chanel make-up brushes so they will be perfect to use with all my new make-up kit!


I like more of a natural make-up look so like either a slightly bronzed face with a pinky/nude cheek and lip and mascara or going for more of a vibrant red lip.


I'm going to test out the new Nars tinted moisturizer at some point too as hear that since launching it's proving to be a hit! With so many shades to pick, I figure going into the make-up counter to have the artist select and test the best shade would be the best thing to do.
 
 

Armour Chic

Wow, can I have a pair in each colour please??

This new season collection from Yves Saint Laurent is going to be a big hit. You really can't get a cooler collection than this. Tough chic meets pretty at it's best. Love these!




 

Today's outfit

So today's outfit is simple but stylish and puts you right in the mood for the lovely summer weather.
The canaray yellow vest is from Victoria Beckhams Denim collection , the stone coloured cargo jeans are by Superfine (I still love cargo jeans), the tan leather bucket bag is by Alexander Wang (the metal studs at the bottom of this bags gives the soft leather an edgier feel) and the sandals are by YSL.
A lovely gold toned long necklace would just finish this outfit off nicely!

Glasgow Gets ready for Christmas

YSL Gold pumps......just gorgeous!

 

My daily walk to and from the train station for work each day is so much more enjoyable when I get to walk by all the stores getting ready for christmas! I love to see the twinkly lights, gorgeous green christmas trees and most of all I get to gaze into the pretty window displays. 

The thing that caught my eye this-morning was a pait of stunning gold Yves Saint Laurent shoes hanging from the window display of Cruise Clothing, ahhh!

I was also happy to see a Vintage Pop up store has opened up around from George Square in Glasgow. The store is called "We love to boogie Vintage" and will be around until New Year's eve. I had a quick look in at lunchtime and although it's not jam packed full of stock like Mr Ben's Vintage at St Enoch's, Glasgow, there is still some pretty cool finds so worth a look!

On the subject of shopping, I was in Zara the other day and they have lots of stunning things in store just now. I treated myself to a few pretty things to wear during the festive season but on the whole i'm trying to be good and to save my shopping spree for when I'm in London for a few days in the next few weeks (I always think you find different things in London from in Glasgow)!

Happy Christmas Shopping everyone!

Your New Seasons must have shoe is.....

These gorgeous pumps from YSL.

Available in tan, grey and violet these will look great with your little black dress or you faithful pair of jeans for a more relaxed look.

Love these!
