Shop My Stash

I came across the term 'shop my stash' a few months ago but had no idea what it meant. It's basically where you go through all your old makeup and 'shop' for products you'd forgotten about and want to use again.  I thought this was a great concept and would definitely save me money for all these travels I have planned this year!

 Here's what I shopped and fell back in love with.




This foundation got really hyped up about a year ago and I used it all the time especially during the summer months as it doesn't get oily but at the same time is not too matte for my dry skin.  What I love most about this foundation is that although they don't have a great shade range, the colours just look beautiful on the skin.  They are more yellow and olive toned.


I know this is a cult fave and it's obvious why.  It's provides such good coverage which is really what we all want from a concealer.  It doesn't crease as long as you set it and they have a brilliant shade range available.  I always like my concealers to be high coverage and my foundations low to medium.


I picked this up a couple of years ago as my friend had it and it was just so beautiful and natural looking.  I love wearing it on holiday as an all over bronze rather than foundation.  Although it's pretty pricey it lasts for ages.  I bought mine about 2 years ago and it's still going strong!


I remember buying this because I was told it was a dupe for Nars orgasm.  It's a gorgeous shimmery pink which doesn't sound like something I would normally go for but it's so subtle I like wearing it on days when I go what to do the whole blush and highlight routine.


I've only had this mascara about 4-5 months but I never keep them more than 6 so that's long for me.  This has been majorly hyped up in the beauty world as one of the best drugstore mascaras.  I do think Maybelline does the best drugstore mascaras though.  At first I didn't like it as I found it too clumpy for my thin lashes but after a few uses that seemed to die down and I use it pretty much everyday.


The name of this always make me laugh, maybe because I can be a bit of a snob myself sometimes.  It's a real pale pink colour and looks gorgeous with a gloss over top.


Have you ever shopped your stash?

My Favourite Looks From Fashion Week

Last month was 'Fashion Month' with showcases and catwalks taking place each week in different locations across London, New York, Paris and Milan.  Although I have been attending London Fashion Week for several years now, this time around I was in California and unfortunately could not attend any shows. However, that did not stop me from catching up once I was back from my trip to check out all the latest trends.  I was also browsing the   Esprit website   and noticed they had some awesome pieces just like the trends seen on the runway last month. Here are some of my favourites that I think are going to be hot this season and where you can copy the looks for less! Floral prints at Gucci.  You can shop the look for less here .

New Year, New You

As with every New Year, we make resolutions (you can see mine in my last post) but I think for most of us it's about becoming a newer and better person than we were last year.  I've come up with a few ways we can make little changes to become a newer and better you. New Hair I've said in many of my posts how much I like to change my hair and you can read about my hair dying experience here and my hair extensions experience here .  However, it needn't be a drastic change, just a little trim and some subtle highlights .  Whenever I change my hair I always feel like a new woman! New Wardrobe The New Year is probably the best time to invest in some new clothes because there are so many sales on.  You don't even have to spend a lot of money, I love affordable brands such as Esprit which do really on trend pieces at high street prices.  With a new wardrobe you will not only feel better but look better too!

How to Wear a Pink Lip

Wearing a pink lip can sometimes be quite hard, especially if it's a rather bright and vibrant shade but I think it looks so lovely for this time of the year. My favourite shade of pink is Impassioned by MAC .  It's very bright and has such a creamy texture that it glides on really well and stays put for quite a few hours.  I find I never have to wear a lip liner with this one either. When wearing a pink lip I think it's important to get the rest of your make up right so that you don't look washed up and colours don't clash. So starting off with the skin I would get myself nice and tanned.  My favourite tanners at the moment are the Superdrug Solait tan in dark and also Tan Truth which you can get from Sally's Salon Services.  Where I have just come back from Ibiza I have still got a bit of a tan so every few days I use the St Tropez Everyday gradual tanner and this helps top up my tan slightly. Then you've got to get the make-up right so
