20 seconds to perfect nude lips

As the autumn/winter season approaches, it's time to start putting those Barbie pink lipsticks back into the make up case, because in winter, apparently hot pink is just not acceptable (apparently). This nude lip look is my absolute favourite part of my make up routine, and it literally takes 20 seconds (if that!) It's such a good colour for this season and goes with anything you wear! Perfect! 

So we start with the basic foundation lips. Make sure to take the foundation off of your lips before you apply any lipstick otherwise it will begin to peel off, which is not a look we want to go for... 

Next we apply the lip liner. The one I am using is from maybelline and it is called colour drama lip liner in shade 630 nude perfection. This lip liner is absolutely amazing, it's so soft and really adds to the shape of your lips and at £4.99, it's a steal. 

And then, we finish the look with your nude lipstick. Here I am using Clinique long last lipstick on creamy nude priced at £18. 

However if you feel £18 is a tad expensive, I've recently found a super cheap lipstick which I discovered when panic buying after forgetting my lipstick for a interview. At £1.99 from the natural collection at boots, this lipstick does the job perfectly and looked exactly the same as my £18 lipstick! 

In shade 'fig leaf' this lippy is a definite must buy to keep in your handbag at all times!

The myth of cheap London fashion

London has always been one of my favourite places to shop, with so many stores ranging from huge superstores to little boutiques. But on a recent trip to London, I came across the cutest store "Monki". A mix of Forever 21 and Zara, my 2 favourite stores, Monki has become my new favourite fashion stop! They also have an online store where there is currently a sale... Highly recommend that you check it out! Below is a piece I have ordered from Monki, cannot wait for it to arrive!

My love for New York City

As my neighbours jetted off to New York City today, jealousy would've been an understatement... After visiting the city last summer, New York quickly became my absolute favourite place. With everything from amazing architecture to the 24/7 buzz, I was enthralled by everything I saw. But one thing that really caught my eye, was the fashion of NYC. However with so many huge department stores such as Macy's and Sephora offering tourist prices, I decided to venture out further into the districts for my fashion explorations. It was then that I came across the fabulous Soho, with streets lined with boutiques, this was a fashionistas heaven! But my absolute favourite boutique I found, was none other, than Brandy Melville. With the cutest pieces at such reasonable prices, this is the go to place for all of your fashion dreams of NYC!
