January 2015 Make-up Look

Hello 2015, well sort of as we are at the last day of January so I know I am a bit late.  O well, that is just the 'Dory' in me ^^
I wished everyone had an amazing holidays and the New Year was starting off the right track.  Mine - has been okay so far, some good days and some bad days but I have learnt to take things one day at a time and stay completely positive.  
Anyways, here was my January make up look for everyday wear.  I have been trying to focus more on my skin regime and reduce the amount of make-up slathered on my face and what's the best time to do it if it's not January - detox day ^^ 

From L-R Clockwise:  
  1. M.A.C Blusher in Buff
  2. Ben Nye Luxury Powder in Banana (my all-time favourite)
  3. NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in Punjab
  4. M.A.C Cream Colour Base in Hush (I used it as a highlighter)
  5. Bobbi Brown Eyeshadow in Petal for lids and Taupe for the outer corner.  I also used Taupe as a contouring 
  6. Koji Dolly Wink Eyeliner in Black


Lips:  M.A.C Lip Liner in Spice and Lipstick by Viva Glam Gaga 


I love this look because they are very wearable and versatile.  Depending on the days, I would swatch the lip colour to brighten up the mood whilst keeping the rest of the face simple.  Below was another version with a slightly brighter lip colour from M.A.C Impassioned. 



Have a good weekend dolls ^^ xoxo

October Purchased

Can't believe that it's November already, Xmas is just around the corner and 2012 is nearly over.  So far October has been a fun and relaxing month for myself and I just want to share what I have bought and my current must have in my make up bag ^^  I have been wanting to try out Too Faced products and have been hearing the rave about it.  Don't get me wrong, I love my MAC, Coastal Scents and Bobbi Brown eyeshadows.  However, I felt that Too Faced Eye Palette is convenient if I am travelling or just going for a night out without having to bring so many different colours in one bag which is quite annoying sometimes.  So, my plan was only to buy one to try out but I ended up buying the whole range except the romantic look (arrghhh annoyed with myself sometimes).  I bought all palettes from Boots Piccadilly Circus apart from the Natural at Night range as it's sold out everywhere.  You can get them from Beautybay , beauty and hair website where you can get mostly every

One outfit + 3 different style of shoes

Day off and sun shines are something I couldn't asked for more.  I started off my day with a great workout at the gym, before heading out to meet up with a friend.  I decided to wear my new top that I bought from ZARA which is currently on sale.  I have never been a big fan of 'knitwear' because I always feel that knit material can look unflattering on me.  However, I decided to give it another try and to be very honest I am actually loving it.  The cut is flattering and I want to look very casual on my day off, therefore I mixed it with a pair of Jeans, flats and a hat that I received from my friend, Kate Michell.  I also decided to plait my hair because it was too hot and humid. Due to the unpredictable weather in London, I never forget to bring a cardigan just in case if it gets cold all of a sudden.  I love this outfit because I think it is very versatile as you can wear it from day to evening without looking too casual or too formal.  In addition, this outfit is

Finished the look of with eyeliner and tons of mascara from Max Factor Clump Defy (for me anyways as mine is so fine!!!) Closer Look As I am feeling slightly flirtatious, I added some falsies just at the outer corner of the eye.
