<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">T<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">his post was originally drafted in Spring when this trend was hyperbolically making me nauseous. Since, summer has been and gone and it is STILL kicking around so technically, according to my metaphorical timeline of decay, I am currently fatally ill. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Don't get me wrong, the clothes are not unattractive and I love me some lace up detailing but I just <b>do not</b> <i>like</i> it. The prints are of the garish variety that under normal circumstances I would see in a store, categorise as "not my style//not up my alley", put back on the rack and go about my sweet way. Under normal circumstances,</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> when trends happen I acknowledge them and either choose to ignore them </span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">and items of their ilk when browsing (</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">i.e. pastel coloured everything) or follow them, by purchasing items that I believe conform to the trend but also transcend the test of time and won't get thrown away when the hype dies down**, so to speak. For example, when tartan was everywhere I bought a vintage tartan blazer which I still wear now. However, the problem here is that <b>the 70's are INESCAPABLE. </b></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">**this method is not always successful and often pieces I believe to be timeless, go down in my estimations over time</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">. Blah.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;"><br /></span>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I live in England where if we're being honest it rains more than it doesn't so <b>why are we trying to make suede happen???</b></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The fashion scene is so obsessed with bringing back decades and it makes me so curious to know whether this is what our children will do. Will there be a time where our descendants try bringing back cross print leggings? I surely hope not. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Have we reached a stage where everything we wear is a throwback of some form and if so, what trends belong to our generation?</span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7019607843137254);"><span style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So remember that time I said that now my exams are over and summer is upon me I'm going to post on my blog like no tomorrow? My summer is basically over now and if it wasn't already evident, consistency and this blog are not quite soulmates. Blogs are meant to be like online diaries (<i>right?</i>) so cue a miniature life update:</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>I got into my first choice university</b> and I am so happy about it! I should probably insert here a generic "and I'm so excited to start" but that would be a lie. I absolutely shitting myself at the thought of starting university. It's rather nerve-racking to think of all the social situations I'm undoubtedly going to have to encounter but at the same time there's so much riding on my university experience that I just need to suck it up, grow some ladyballs and break a bloody leg. Ah, figures of speech. </span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<br />
<ul>
<li><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I turned 18!</b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I had probably the best/most chilled birthday ever- I spent the weekend with my mum and sisters doing old lady activities like going to a spa and the theatre and having afternoon tea and I loved every minute of it. It's two weeks later and I've only had one alcoholic beverage in the entirety of my adulthood. I am so cool, are you jealous?</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>I started a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/oliviawilliamss">YouTube channel</a>! </b></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I've been meaning to for MONTHS but getting the courage to do it took longer than anticipated and even when I had finally filmed my first video it took an entire month for me to upload it. Naturally I knew that my first video wouldn't be going viral so I wasn't exactly baring my soul to be judged by the entire internet user-base but I knew I'd be using Twitter to promote my channel like I do with my blog, a ton of people I know irl follow me on there and if I'm being honest the fear of them laughing at me got to me for a bit. I've since realised how pointless it was to think this way because the reality is I love makeup and I love geeking out about it and so if I want to do that, I shouldn't be held back by the thought that people I mostly don't like might not approve. So I did it and I've inserted my first two videos below </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">if you want to check them out and I'd really love it if you'd subscribe if you like them!</span></li>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Looking back on these dire days dampens my mood profoundly. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Since, I have decided to never again try hard at being an eyebrow person. To be honest, I was slightly scared into submission because of the horrible influx that emerged consisting of a high demand for beautifully arched flawless brows and girls suddenly being really judgy on what brows were looking like. I'm not going to pretend like I didn't think I was the eyebrow equivalent of an X Factor Judge in the sense that I hoped I could be exempt from the judgement by being able to know good brows from bad but anyways, brows were and still are suddenly a really big deal and getting it right is quite exhausting.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For this reason I had been just getting by with a <b>Rimmel Brow Pencil</b> for like a year and half and though I rarely felt like my eyebrow game was 'fleeky' enough to make others envious, it done the trick. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">However, over the last year</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> or so, I have revamped my one-product eyebrow collection by purchasing the cult classics; the <b>Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Pomade</b> in Chocolate, </span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Brow Wiz </b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">in Soft Brown</span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">and <b>Clear Brow Gel</b>, the <b>Soap and Glory Brow Archery</b> 2-in- 1 in Hot Chocolate and the </span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">L'Oreal Brow Artist Plumpe</b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>r</b> in Medium/Dark.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">I'm not going to go full blown review on you because this post is already getting long but the Brow Pomade is something that I find requires practice and precision to not go permanent marker-esque. </span>I'm yet to fully conquer it so I tend to only use it when I'm going out at night or have a load of time to do my makeup. When I do use it, I use a <b>MAC 266</b>, which I invested in for eyebrow's sake. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The whole two colours in the entire range thing is super shady (I love puns.) o</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">f Soap and Glory to do but if the two on offer work for you, you're in for a treat because it's quick and easy to use and hella natural looking. The Anastasia brow wiz is exactly the same in all departments except price so if the Soap and Glory shade range does you wrong, Anastasia has your back!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With regards to setting brows in place, in short, I think the <b>Anastasia Clear Brow Gel </b>removes some product when you apply it which is annoying because it makes them look a bit sparse but it does a great job of locking the product in. On the other hand, the <b>L'oreal Brow Artist Plumper </b>is <i>fantastic</i> (sooo much better than the <b>Maybelline brow drama</b>) and I'm going to try the clear version also in the hopes it does a better job than the Anastasia one for a much lower price.</span><br />

</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These products have really made me feel like I have my life together, simply by doing their thing to my brows. Though my brow game is by no means strong, I would highly recommend the <b>L'Oreal brow artist</b> and<b> Soap and Glory/Anastasia brow wiz</b> for any brow beginners- if you want to avoid the loud and proud brow situation I had going on circa 2013 that is.</span></div>

<div>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I AM BLOGGING AGAIN. THIS IS NOT A DRILL AND IT FEELS SO WEIRD.</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you read my last past you will know that exams and life (mostly exams) whisked me away from the bloggosphere for a bit but now they are over, I am free from education for a bit and back in the blogging game.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have certainly not sworn off social media in my absence from blogger.com and have been particularly into <a href="https://instagram.com/oliviamakesupstyle/">Instagram</a> where I have been experimenting with makeup a whole lot. I find Instagram so inspiring because there's so bloody many talented girls and guys on there doing such cool things with makeup! I love doing my friends and families makeup, especially skin-focus stuff, but I am horrific at applying eye makeup to other people and I wouldn't describe myself as a wildly creative person so will probably never be a professional makeup artist if I'm being honest with you. However, Instagram-ing more lately has really inspired me to combine creativity with my love for makeup and "step outside my comfort zone" so to speak.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here's some of the looks I've done that you might have missed if you aren't following me on what the kids are allegedly calling "the 'Gram" nowadays:</span><br />

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I haven't posted in a while (more on why soon) but since my last post I have gone a little cray cray on the makeup purchases. I have acted accordingly and since placed a loosely binding makeup spending ban on myself effective of right now. I thought I'd share my makeup purchases from the last month with you lovely makeup lovers so here goes the haul:</span><br>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br></span>

<div>
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Makeup Revolution highlight in Golden Lights. </span></b></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have heard TOO much hype surrounding this brand <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">and was sceptical about the claims of "high end quality at more than affordable prices" but after a few in-store swatches I now see that the claims are true. I wasn't in the mood to go crazy on this particular day apparently so just got this show-stopping highlight in <b>Golden Lights</b>.</span></span></div>
<div>
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br></span></b>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>beautyuk Ultimate Contour Palette</b></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I saw Nic from Pixi Woo talk about this in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95QjP1BJyfE">this</a> video and decided to give it a try. I've since realised that I don't dig cream contouring on me but it's still a good palette, especially for those of you with your eye on the new Anastasia cream contour kit who want to test out cream contouring before they commit to a £40 palette.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">B. Rich Intense Colour Lipstick in Rose Quartz</span></b></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I was seriously considering treating myself to a Chanel lipstick, even though none of the shades 'wow' me, just for the pop up/out packaging so when my friend at work had this, I cancelled my Chanel plans in favour of saving money and I'm so glad I did!</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Soap and Glory Solar Powder</span></b></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I was on the market for a new everyday bronzer and thought I'd try this instead of getting a high end one. <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">I'm quite disappointed with the pigment of this one, I expected more of it. Also, the pale side is way too pale for me to use and I'm like a NC20/25 in MAC so I'm not exactly tanned. However, it's not orange in the slightest which I find most bronzers are so that's a plus. <i>Every cloud</i> and all that.</span></span></div>

It's a very blue/purple undertoned bold fuschia pink. I have one thing that bugs me about these lipsticks, but that's for another post so stay tuned ;) </span></div>

</div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before but all my foundations are the wrong colour for me at the moment because I'm at my palest time of the year and the thought of repurchasing new shades for them all is very unappealing to me. So I thought I'd be innovative and save money using this to lighten my foundations and so far the verdict is that this is the best makeup-y decision I have ever made.</span><br>

Anyways, I was instantly impressed by the quality of these shadows. I didn't order every colour I wanted, I went for the 'try a few then gradually add more' method and so the choice was tough but I will definitely be making another order soon.</span></div>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is just a quick post apologising and explaining my lack of posts of late. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am both fortunate and unfortunate enough to be in the position where I blog for fun only. Obviously it is not my job, I have not monetised my blog and I do not have a gazillion readers begging me to post and so as life has got in the way of things lately, fitting time in to <b>W</b>rite, <b>P</b>hotograph, <b>P</b>ost, <b>P</b>romote, <b>R</b>epeat has been tricky. </span><br>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It's my last year of Sixth Form/ "High School" so I'm trying my hardest to focus and dedicate myself to getting the grades I need to get into my first choice university which is not proving to be easy- (don't do Chemistry at A-level kids, unless you really have to, it will destroy you). <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">What with my terribly time-consuming YouTube addiction, working part time, reading and keeping up with the ridiculous amounts of TV shows I watch, and believe me I am trying to minimise time spent on all of these, squeezing blogging into the mix is another distraction/guilty pleasure that I do not have time for. (I'm lucky in the sense that I'm not distracted by a social life because I don't have one, gold star for me.</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> Ha ha ha.)</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Honestly, I really need to organise and sort my life out and in the mean time that means you will not be seeing frequent posts on my blog until after June 18th when I am free from education for four WHOLE months, such a marvelous prospect! I still love blogging and I'm very excited to finally get some of the ideas I have in my head written and posted :)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am rambling on as usual so will end the post here. <b>Sidenote:</b>I've noticed that my sentences are really long. What can I say, <i>I'm a talker. </i></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I apologise for neglecting my blog but if you would like to be notified when I do post again follow me on <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blogs/olivia-williams-12670487">Bloglovin'</a> and to keep up with my daily musing in the mean time, follow me on <a href="https://twitter.com/xoliviawilliams">Twitter</a> :)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 14.7pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The time has come! I was
nominated to do this award/tag a while ago by <st1:city w:st="on">Florence</st1:city>
from <a href="http://lovefromfg.blogspot.co.uk/">Love From <st1:city w:st="on">Florence</st1:city> Grace</a> and I had been meaning
to (I promise) and when I was nominated again by Dee from <a href="http://coffeetalkwithdee.blogspot.co.uk/">Coffee Talk with <st1:place w:st="on">Dee</st1:place></a> I got the nudge I needed to actually do it. I feel so
grateful to have been nominated because I am far from a well-established blogger
in the blogging community or even someone who is consistently involved in it, so
thank you so much to <st1:city w:st="on">Florence</st1:city> and <st1:place w:st="on">Dee</st1:place> for nominating me!
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Basically, the <span style="background: #FFF4F4; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Liebster Award<b> </b></span>is
11 questions that someone nominates you to answer and once you answer the
questions you’ve been asked, you can set 11 new questions or keep the same ones
you answered and nominate more bloggers of your choice. As I’ve been nominated twice, I
decided not to bore you with 20+ questions and pick my favourite 11 to answer.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #fff4f4; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; line-height: 13.85pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #fff4f4; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; line-height: 13.85pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><i>1. How did you decide what
you wanted your blog to be about?</i><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #fff4f4; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; line-height: 13.85pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">At first it seemed easy, beauty and fashion is what I love so it made sense to talk about it but I'm recently becoming more aware of the fact that there are more profound topics that concern me also, other than my favourite shades of lipstick. I guess the key is to talk about what you like!</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><i>2. What got you into makeup/beauty?
</i></b></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #fff4f4; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; line-height: 13.85pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It was a gradual thing for me. It started with getting my first MAC foundation when I got my makeup done there for my prom and my first MAC lipsticks, which you can read all about <a href="http://oliviamakesupstyle.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/the-mac-lipstick-collection-anniversary_21.html">here</a>, then Youtube was a massive catalyst. I first watched <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/shaaanxo">Shaaanxo</a> and Gabriella from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/velvetgh0st">VelvetGh0st</a>'s videos religiously and somehow a year later I watch about 3 hours of youtube videos a day (lol), so YouTube is mostly to blame!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #fff4f4; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; line-height: 13.85pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><i>3. Have you tried Charlotte

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #fff4f4; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; line-height: 13.85pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have her Colour Chameleon eye pencil in Amber Haze and it's okay but whenever I use it I end up adding more eyeshadow on top of it for more 'oompf' so never see what it wears like alone. I am dying to try the Filmstar Bronze and Glow, Matte Revolution lipsticks and Rock 'n' Kohl eye pencils. However, it's all way too 'upper high end' for my budget but maybe one day I will treat myself. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; line-height: 14.7pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><i>4. What's the longest you've gone without wearing any
makeup?<o:p></o:p></i></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #fff4f4; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; line-height: 13.85pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Probably the 13/14 years I went before I started wearing it? Is that cheating? No ragrets.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Even on my laziest days I <b>have</b> to do at least a basic skincare routine i.e. cleanse, tone, moisturise or I just feel clogged up and eurgh. Also, breakfast.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It took a while for me to think of this because I'm not someone who worships Beyonce or Oprah or one person's life work in particular but someone I find very inspirational is Emma Watson. Especially because I'm doing my A-Levels at the moment, I'm kind of getting by living by the motto that if Emma Watson can get three A's whilst being Emma Watson, I have absolutely no excuse. I also love her style, how she's handled being exposed to the public eye from such a young age and used her "fame" to bring to light important issues.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> On Mondays, I am so tired that I tend to live by an entirely different set of rules to the rest of the weekdays. No fucks are given in any aspect of getting ready and this is why I tend to gravitate towards the boyfriend fit/menswear section of my wardrobe. I've always been a fan of androgynous outfits/silhouettes and steering away from stereotypically girly outfits and nowadays, thanks to my chronic laziness, comfort wins over all. I wore these straight fitted H&M trousers, turtle neck from my Mum's wardrobe and oversized shirt from eBay with some heeled boots and an oversized Primark bag to stop myself looking like I should officially change my name to Oliver. For something I literally threw on in 30 seconds, I'm pretty impressed with how it turned out. What do you think? </span></div>

It done the job of making it feel clean and fresh but I personally don't like gel-like formulas and I think this is why I don't think it's spectacular. I feel like gel formulas in general sit on top my skin and don't do much so I prefer formulas of the cream/balmy variety. This one thins down when you lather it up and is rather refreshing as part of a morning routine but doesn't give a deep enough cleanse for it to even scratch the surface in the realms of Holy Grail status.</span></span></td></tr>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now this, I loved! I bought it thinking it was the cleanser due to the packaging for the two being identical and in the end it was way better. What I love most about it is that it's really gentle as the exfoliating "bits" are really fine. It's the perfect exfoliant for people with sensitive or irritable skin who want the step in their skin care routine without their face punishing them for doing so. I don't feel like I'm attacking my skin when using it unlike some of my more abrasive scrubs and so it's great to use every other day. I honestly feel like when my skin is problematic and I have hash-tag pizza-face it clarifies it.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>I <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">am a girl of many lists.</span></b></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">They are my preferred method of running my life and I'm pretty sure I have a list for every thing in my life and/or brain. I watch so many TV shows and films that I lose track and forget what I have and haven't seen and so I decided to make an ongoing list of every film I watch this year as and when. For no particular reason I have decided to post it on my blog too (...I mean, why not?) The list I kept was written sporadically so I've decided to categorise them into the <i>best</i> (I don't believe in favourite films so expect a lot in this section), <i>worst, ones I cannot remember watching</i> and <i>ones I neither loved or loathed</i>. I've added some unsystematically placed side notes in there too for a tad more detail/background to my choice of category. Some of these I'd seen prior to this year but most (shock horror) I actually hadn't seen until this year a̶n̶d̶ ̶I̶ ̶a̶i̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶e̶v̶e̶n̶ ̶m̶a̶d̶.̶ Enjoy!!!</span></div>

I never really communicate the list in full to anyone when New Year's Resolutions conversations arise and this is mainly because I am 100% aware that whatever happens in a given year and whatever lessons I learn will not be discovered intentionally.</span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> But as everyone knows, the number one rule of life is that if you post something you need to do on the Internet, you have no choice but to get that shit done. So here's my 2015 to do list that I would like to have done by this time next year:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Get my Skin Care game on point and have a solid regime in the bag.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Get better at eye makeup.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Go on Holiday. (I cheated here as I already have one booked for next year but it's always nice to know at least one will be getting done)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Get my first tattoo.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Find a comfortable balance between A-Levels, working and blogging.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Make more blogging friends and put myself out there more with regards to my blog.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">LFW.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Get skinny or learn to love myself trying. [Sidenote: I am tumblr.]</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Have more pride in my achievements.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Say yes more but also say no more. Fuck sitting on the fence.</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">(There's no going back now, it's on the Internet so it's set in stone, wish me luck!)</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Happy New Year to anyone who reads my blog and<i> if you don't, I'm sure you're not that bad either</i> so have a good one!</b></span></div>

Whenever I wake up hating life (a feeling usually exclusive to Monday mornings) and want to avoid looking like an extra from The Walking Dead here's what I reach for and a brief summary of why...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i><b>The bases of choice</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGpP28nZuMRTrHIDVfT7bDuWJFQjirhfn3eDImTJXMxIs8AKxwDPEOTGzWQE4NBAAZ-XCiO9vOtIyD-h4qJ8o3tT_inBLw3iD73o9RaYe8ToRPtaLzZOZMBP0DjjwiVkKIQ4jqNtTSZ2MX/s1600/MONDAY+(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGpP28nZuMRTrHIDVfT7bDuWJFQjirhfn3eDImTJXMxIs8AKxwDPEOTGzWQE4NBAAZ-XCiO9vOtIyD-h4qJ8o3tT_inBLw3iD73o9RaYe8ToRPtaLzZOZMBP0DjjwiVkKIQ4jqNtTSZ2MX/s1600/MONDAY+(1).JPG" height="320" width="258" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">All of these provide a nice light-medium coverage that evens everything out without being heavy in the slightest. The <b>Bourjois Healthy Mix</b> foundation does this in a thicker way but is still by no stretch of the imagination thick; it just feels a bit like you have something on. However, the <b>Garnier BB cream</b> which I have in the lighter of the two shades and the <b>Max Factor CC cream</b>, which I surprisingly got in the darkest of the three shades in the range, are weightless on the skin. For this particular Monday Morning I went for the <b>Garnier BB cream</b> because my skin was feeling pretty shitty and I didn't want to slap on foundation. Let's ignore that it's probably an equally counter productive choice...</span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">All of these concealers are incredible but I've admittedly been off the <b>Collection Lasting Perfection</b> one that everyone and their Aunt May rave about in the blogosphere for quite a while because it dries out my under eye area when set. However, for old times sake I gave the shade 2 a go today and was pleasantly surprised. I simply cannot go on without mentioning the <b>LA girl Pro Conceal</b> which managed reached Holy Grail status in like a week. I use the shade Creamy Beige and though it isn't <i>Nars Creamy Radiant</i>, it sure is the better version of <i>MAC Prolongwear</i> for me.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Bold lips on Mondays are hit and miss with me. Sometimes I like one as a distraction from my not so Chanel eye-bags but most of the time I cannot be bothered (today being the latter). Therefore, I used my <b>Helen E Lip crayon in Beauty Queen</b> which is a creamy and pigmented nude <b style="text-decoration: underline;">dream</b>, with my <b>NYX butter gloss in Praline</b> which I want my entire <u><i>life</i></u> to smell like.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My drugstore choice of Bronzer is the <b>Bourjois Chocolate Bronzer</b> which I really like because it doesn't turn into loose powder when you put a brush to it so you get quite an even coverage that steers clear of being muddy. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Rimmel Transparent powder</b> is also a drugstore go-to but for blotting away the disco ball nature of my face. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I feel like I'm on an eternal quest for the right blusher brush and so because I didn't want to be reminded of said quest I applied my <b>NYX cream blush in Natural</b> and blended it out with my fingers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Keeping on the creamy track I used the <b>L'Oreal lumi magique base</b> as a highlighter which wasn't as intense as I'm used to but was a nice natural touch.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I always feel like I'm not maximising my mascara's full potential by having two on the go at once so now my fave mascara (<b>Maybelline the Falsies</b>) has dried up and I've cracked open it's back up, the <b>Collection Does it all Mascara</b>. Both are waterproof because I have seriously watery eyes and though the Collection isn't a show-stopper that gives any sort of False Lash effect, it is excellent for day to day wear and super affordable!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And here's my drugstore picks on my face.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Having an event springing up out of nowhere and hitting you in the gut when you realise that you have nothing to wear is a problem that I feel content avoiding. What with Christmas presents to buy, having to budget in a brand new £100 outfit is something no one needs in their life...</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So I teamed up with House of Fraser to galavant about in the perfect LBD for the Party season that won't break the bank!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Naturally I paired it with my New Look heels (only size 8's left on <a href="http://www.asos.com/new-look/new-look-question-black-cleated-sole-strap-heeled-sandals/prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4435947&clr=Black&SearchQuery=new+look+heels&pgesize=36&pge=1&totalstyles=71&gridsize=4&gridrow=8&gridcolumn=2" target="_blank">asos</a> but similar ones <a href="http://www.newlook.com/shop/shoe-gallery/view-all-shoes/black-snakeskin-texture-ankle-strap-platform-block-heels_329815701" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://www.newlook.com/shop/shoe-gallery/view-all-shoes/black-leather-cross-strap-chunky-block-heels_329334201" target="_blank">here</a>) </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">which have recently become my HG heeled footwear choice. I've wanted a pair of Saint Laurent Jane dupes for ages now but I stray too far away from dainty elegance and sophistication to feel comfortable in them. These however, are the perfect androgynous option because of the chunky jagged platform and for £24.99 <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">it was a bargain that I could not miss out on.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>

<br />
<div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Because the dress is black you can really play up your makeup (which I jumped at the chance to do) or add in a statement pop of colour through your accessories or shoes. I concocted an impromptu smokey eye with my trusted Urban Decay Naked Palette and on the lips used MAC's Brave Red which I think is the perfect Christmas sheeny but not glossy red lip.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>

The flower-like (not floral) pattern is also ties in well with the Christmassy vibes. It think it's a great length on me but I'm 5ft4 so if you're a taller lady I would take that into consideration here.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">That being said, my favourite thing about this dress is that it isn't exclusively Christmas appropriate like some of the sequin numbers that emerge in the shops at this time of year. It's versatile enough to wear all year round, especially in Autumn/Winter with some tights, Dr Martens and a nice warm coat.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>As we all know, Autumn/Winter is all about outerwear</b><i>...(biggest understatement of my life).</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So naturally, a couple of months ago when I was nonchalantly packing to go to Manchester and discovered a dress in my wardrobe which doubled up as a blazery/kimino-y yet-to-be-named jacket thang I was so chuffed I had to share it. I always have an irrational panic whenever I think I'm outfit repeating and worry that people will remember so always save my outfits for rainy days that never happen- I know it's silly to care about outfit repeating and I should listen to Lizzie McGuire's wise words and shun outfit rememberers but hey ho. I wore this as a dress and as a blazer around the same people and received compliments both times and no one thus far has recognised that it's the same item so it's becoming an A/W 2014 fave! It also helps if you're going away for the weekend or something and cannot be bothered to pack loads- I personally wear this undone with a tee and jeans or as a dress with tights and whatever I'm in the mood for on my feet, foolproof! Now it's creeping into the winter months here in the UK, I plan to layer it up as a blazer with a scarf and hoody so I don't freeze to death. I normally get really annoyed when dresses have visible painfully obvious zips all the way down but this has improved the piece massively so praise the Lord for whoever decided to put one on this! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In short, who doesn't love a two in one item? <b>Here's it in action!</b></span><br />

longest to write out of all my posts thus far) deleted from my blog and I am
absolutely raging about it. If you’ve read this before I apologise but I wanted
to repost it as a sort of milestone or whatever because it’s kind of an
important generic beauty blog post to do. Thankfully, I wrote half of it on

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For me, this means that it’s been a year since I started
collecting MAC lipsticks which inspired this post and it’s date of publishing.
Lipsticks of the MAC variety were the gateway drug that led to my current
status of makeup addict so they will always be important to me. Irrespective of
finish, they have consistent high quality and I feel like every woman should
have one! After education, equal rights and black skinny jeans, of course…</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">That’s right kids, way before Kylie Jenner had even
considered creating her own variety of lip I had this bad boy in my midst. A
very random colour to start with but when I was in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Cardiff</st1:place></st1:city> last November, for some reason I
decided that I needed this in my life. I never understood why it didn’t have
much hype around it as even once I’d acquired more MAC Lipsticks, this combined
with Whirl lip liner remained my favourite. It’s matte but creamy and if you
don’t like matte lipsticks it also looks good with clear gloss over top!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I also got this at the airport before The Netherlands too and
it’s a stunning dark purple that I love because on the lips it doesn’t <i>look</i> like as much of a bold dark lip that it is in theory. It actually makes me very
nervous that this is limited edition (I cannot for the life of me remember what
collection it’s from) because I have no idea how I will replace it when it
finishes. Dupe suggestions are heartily welcomed!!!!!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is the bluest pink I have- it’s so blue that I’d say it
leans towards a lilacy pink. The blue undertones mean whiter teeth for everyone
and I’ve seen a lot of people describe this as a statement Barbie pink but on
me it’s a bit more muted than that. I like it very much but for some reason I
find myself reaching for Please Me more…</span></div>

Honestly, if you swipe this on really quickly just to see if it goes with your
outfit it will make the decision for you because it will stick around all day!
It’s both a blessing and a curse. I’d definitely describe it as stain-like. It
is a hella creamy statement deep pink that can be glossy or satin, if blotted.</span></div>

I recommend to every fair-medium skin tone to try! It’s so easy to put on with
pretty much any outfit or makeup look. It’s the only Lustre finish I have
and I expected it to be pointlessly sheer but it’s definitely buildable. I
wouldn’t recommend giving this Handbag Lipstick status in summer as it will
melt but for Autumn/Winter it’s great to have on you for those days where
nothing is going right and you feel like you need some lipstick on to cheer you
up. P.S. Don’t let the glitters in the bullet put you off, this lipstick is no
shimmer fest. </span></div>

comfortable on the lips. I would describe it as Ruby Woo’s friendlier cousin as
most people I know buy Ruby Woo and hate how drying it is but this is not
drying in the slightest. It's also blue toned so makes my teeth look pearly white which is why it has replaced my Tom Ford Wild Ginger lipstick I raved about <a href="http://oliviamakesupstyle.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/the-love-of-my-life.html">here</a> as my favourite red to wear!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Due to my blogging schedule and generally busy life at the moment, it is quite a while after I initially think of a blog post idea that it actually comes to life on my blog. I find that future posts that I'm really excited to write sit in my drafts for ages and as I'm quite an open person I want to let you know what I've got planned! I want this post and others I do like it to be a sort of bookmark for people who are reading my blog so you are always kept up to date with what is to come. I will come back and update this post with links to the actual posts mentioned once they have been published so it will still be relevant to those of you reading this ages after it's been published.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Having Deep throat or Orgasm is the obligatory beauty blogger thing to do and for ages I've been flitting between which one to get. Finally, I <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">decided that Orgasm is rather similar to the Sleek blusher in Rose Gold that I wrote about <a href="http://oliviamakesupstyle.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/superdrug-haul-1.html">here</a>, so purchased Deep Throat. I think next up for me is Super Orgasm. Side note: NARS blush names are so hilarious, right?</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am aware that these are a complete rip off considering the standard Multiples are bigger yet the same price but I have been lusting over them for months. There are three contour shades in the range: one lighter than this which was too peachy for me and two warmer/deeper ones which are very similar. I've only used it twice and my verdict thus far is that admittedly it's quite gimmicky and would be much better if it was a tad more grey. As it's so warm it doesn't quite create the shadow effect that is basically the whole point of contouring so is better for bronzing up the skin. However, two uses isn't a good enough representation of my final opinion and I think once I experiment a bit more by applying it wet etc. I will come to like it better.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">After seeing Lily Pebbles' <a href="http://www.lilypebbles.co.uk/2014/10/nars-audacious-lipsticks.html">post</a> on her picks from this new 40 shade lipstick range and stalking this Temptalia <a href="http://www.temptalia.com/round-nars-audacious-lipstick-overview-thoughts">post</a> for like a week, I decided on the shade Audrey. I swatched it and fell in love even more so purchased it from Selfridges. It's a berry red that is also pinkish but also an everyday colour and that makes absolutely no sense. I'd describe this as the halfway house between MAC's Cosmo and Rimmel and Kate Moss' 107 lipstick. The sleek, silky black packaging shuts with the most satisfying magnetic clasp which was a major selling point for me. The only problem I have with the visual aspects of this lipstick is that I wouldn't want to go running to this with foundation covered hands/fingers as I can tell it isn't going to be very fingerprint resistant. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The lipstick itself isn't majorly long-wearing because it's so creamy/hydrating and so far I've had trouble with it bleeding and transferring quite a bit. I'm used to touching my face and not having to worry about whether I have lipstick under my eye or on my cheek but this is already all up on my favourite coat and has got quite friendly with some of my clothes. It's quite annoying considering it's £24 a pop so if you're looking for a lipstick that doesn't budge this isn't for you but if you don't mind reapplying throughout the day this is your guy.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is both the icing on the cake and the cake itself. I've been hunting down the Ita brush for what feels like forever and Laguna is my favourite bronzer so this is my definition of heaven on Earth. The hunt for the Ita brush is a struggle that is intensified by fact that in some department stores it's £43 and others £28. I was told by someone in Selfridges that they're not allowed to sell the brush in the UK for different prices but the Liberty's and John Lewis websites beg to differ. The fact that in all stores it is <b>notoriously</b> out of stock means that attaining one is a game of sheer luck. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Anyway,</b> this Limited Edition Holiday set features a version of<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> the Ita that is the exact same size with just a mini/shorter handle. The Laguna seems bigger than the size that costs you £27 in a standard purchase and on top of all of this goodness, the container of it all has a stunning design. So </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">for £39 for the set, even my mother (who constantly rebukes me for my frequent make up purchases) agrees that it's a bargain!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">On a tiny bit of a negative note, the Ita brush is much more scratchy than I expected it to be, however this may be due to the fact that I recently placed an order on Zoeva and am currently floating about life on a cloud made of their soft brush bristles...</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So October is coming to a close and though I feel like I haven't actually been doing much, I've certainly become quite specific about what I'm using/wearing/watching- many a holy grail product has been discovered. I think there's just something about Autumn that makes me yearn for consistency...Alas, here's a round up of what I've been loving this month and why!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">NARS really hit the spot this month and I am not even exaggerating when I say I've been wearing these two products EVERY day. Apart from one or two occasions when I started to feel bad for not utilising the rest of my makeup collection, this is combo has not left my face.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">At first I didn't think of <a href="http://www.selfridges.com/en/nars-bronzing-powder_318-2000192-5101/?previewAttribute=Laguna">Laguna</a> as that spectacular until I started using it to bronze up post-base application with Zoeva's 127<a href="https://www.zoeva-shop.de/en/brushes-accessories/127-luxe-sheer-cheek/a-8000117/"> Luxe Sheer Cheek</a> brush. The results have been so glorious that I've hit pan after two months with Laguna. It really does warm up my skin, it's not too matte nor shimmery and I completely understand why it's earned cult status.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It took a while for me to accept that the shade of <a href="http://www.selfridges.com/en/nars-radiant-creamy-concealer_318-2000192-CREAMYCON/?previewAttribute=Chantilly">Radiant Creamy Concealer</a> I received for my birthday was too dark to brighten up my face but when I had, ASOS conveniently had a 25% student discount moment so I purchased the shade Custard and haven't looked back since. It is everything the name suggests and the uber creamy texture is everything my under eye area could ask for- it's divine!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I mentioned both of these in my birthday make-up haul so if you want to, you can check that post out <a href="http://oliviamakesupstyle.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/birthday-makeup-haul-featuring-swatches.html">here</a>.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My fave lip combo of the month has been MAC's Whirl lipliner with Blankety lipstick patted in the centre of the lip. I have it on in my <a href="https://twitter.com/xoliviawilliams">Twitter</a> icon so hit me up on there to see it in action. I will upload a better picture in my next post, which will be my MAC lipstick collection.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am not a perfume person. My sister is a perfume obsessive and it's something I've never really bothered with. Considering Victoria's Secret Love Spell spray is just shy of £15 why would I spend loads of money on fancy perfume, right? As you can see, being a non-perfume person has turned me into someone who sees all perfume as having Chanel no.5 mature ladylike elegance... <i>Anyway</i>, after being recommended it by a friend and it getting rather comfortable on my wish list for months, I finally picked me up a 50ml bottle of <a href="http://www.selfridges.com/en/giorgio-armani-si-eau-de-parfum_209-77011643-SIEDP/">Georgio Armarni Si</a> and it has become my everyday scent. In case you were wondering, I am now loving the fully fledged perfume person life. </span><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Not much has changed for me clothes wise recently, I have well and truly lost my Fashion Month sartorial enthusiasm and quick, casual outfits are currently the thing for me. To paint a picture for you, I haven't worn a skirt once this month simply because I'm too lazy to wear tights. I feel like I still live in my black Topshop <a href="http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/clothing-427/jeans-446/joni-super-high-waisted-jeans-1108/moto-black-joni-jeans-3486787?bi=1&ps=20">Joni</a> jeans and without fail wear them every week: <i>I think it's time I get a back up pair.</i></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A footwear purchase I made whilst in Manchester were these little black wonders. They are by Truffle and I got them in a shop called Ark in the Arndale centre which I'd never seen before in Londontown but basically it's a hipster-inspired Bank Fashion. They're under the same company so the comparison is rather fitting. These are really comfortable and look amazing with trousers which is something I've found hard to find, in my experience. They were £29.99 which is an absolute steal considering they're <i>kind of</i> Givenchy dupes. (It makes me so sad that I am too poor to avoid dupes indefinitely.)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In the nature of saving the best until last, I welcome you to what I've spent this whole month doing: </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>I AM OBSESSED WITH AMERICAN HORROR STORY.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> I've been recommending it to everyone and their Aunt Mabel and I am completely hooked. I love how each series is wrapped up by the end because episode after episode of angst and dragged out plot points is something I wish was skippable in every series. Despite being someone with no talent or expressed interest in drama/theatre studies, I always notice good acting and the cast of AHS are incredible! My favourite cast members are Evan Peters (unsurprisingly), Jessica Lange and Sarah Paulson and my most-least favorite seasons go Coven, Asylum then Murder House which isn't even accurate because I love them all. I know I'm going to watch these over and over again, I have started to quote it in my everyday life and I am a walking example of this Jenna Marbles' <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRDzQGzyH6Q&list=UU9gFih9rw0zNCK3ZtoKQQyA">video</a>. In case you were considering watching AHS, there's only 13 episodes a season, the 4th season has just started AND it's Halloween month so why haven't you started yet???</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If you read my blog or see me on a regular basis you will know that lipstick and I are like, really <b>REALLY</b> good friends. So naturally I jumped at the chance to try out some <a href="http://www.belissimoboutique.co.uk/beauty/belissimo-lips.html?p=1">Belissimo Glitter Lips</a> and here's what I thought of them!</span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The pot of glitter I received came with some cotton buds and some cute glue in a container similar to nail polish (the brush was really handy on application) in a little bag so the packaging department set us off to an excellent start.</span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">First time round, I went straight in with applying the glitter, a move I now regret deeply. I made the collossal and tragic mistake of blotting my lips together whilst glittering my life away which left me in a sticky, messy predicament that I would advise avoiding. To do so I'd say the best way to go about applying is definitely doing one lip at a time- <b>Glue. Glitter. Repeat. </b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Luckily enough the pot comes with enough glitter to allow for plenty uneducated mistakes and so a second, more successful, attempt was made.</span><br />
<div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">At first I was skeptical about the whole glue situation</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> because unsurprisingly my mouth and glue are not really that familiar and I thought the glue would smell or taste weird. However, as the glue is water based it didn't smell or taste disgusting on my lips before I bedazzled them. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I would definitely advise using a lip scrub of some form before application because I forgot to and think it would look smoother on the lips if I had done.</span></div>

</div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I also popped on some of my Lipstick Queen <a href="http://www.feelunique.com/p/Lipstick-Queen-Invisible-Lip-Liner-0-28g">invisible lip liner</a> pre-application to avoid bleeding/ feathering and so I didn't have a indistinguishable lip line. I was surprised by the lack of fall out there was as honestly I expected a shimmering hot mess of a mouth area but for the 3 hours I had it on for it didn't budge, smudge or make me look like I used a highlighter as a powder at all...The website says they last 12 hours and though I'm not sure I'd ever be wearing them for that long, longevity is always a bonus.</span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Considering how long-winded it is to remove glitter nail varnish I expected taking this off to be an issue but alas all it took was a makeup wipe and it was gone without a trace! I'm not sure what colour the one I got sent is as it doesn't have a shade written on it but from looking at the website I have a feeling it's Gilded Peach.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Overall I was really impressed with the product and I now know exactly where to turn for inspo for my next fancy dress makeup. I saw the pop up stand in Topshop when I was in Manchester and reckon one of the darker shades would look banging for a Halloween look. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Dress up aside, my sister even said that she thinks they are still subtle enough to wear clubbing! </span><br />

<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My mother dug this out for me from the 'clothes from her youth' section of her wardrobe about two years ago and it's been my favourite item of clothing since. I often find myself wishing I lived a life in which I could wear it more often because it's so beautiful and unique. I've actually never seen anything like it until the other day when saw <a href="http://t.co/ZnPqZg2Jf1">this</a> picture of Cara Delevingne in a Burberry outfit featuring something very similar. (I almost had to pat my mother on the back for being so ahead of the game). I also love that it has sentimental value, I mean can you believe that this has been kicking about since the 80's?</span></pre>

</b>I honestly feel like my purchasing of these Topshop <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?searchTerm=hayden&storeId=12556&productId=14363821&urlRequestType=Base&categoryId=&langId=-1&productIdentifier=product&catalogId=33057">Hayden</a> jeans was fate. So as the story goes, I tried these on like 3 weeks before I bought them and fell in love but at the time I was broke so didn't get them. I went into the same Topshop once I'd been paid for a swift browse, tried them on again, bought them <i>AND</i> they'd been reduced from £25 to £15. Now if that isn't fate I don't know what is. Buying these was one of those times where you leave the shop with a massively creepy grin on your face and the urge to tell the world about the amazing bargain you'd just found but at the same time faced the harsh truth that no-one actually cares...</span></span></pre>

Therefore, when browsing for an item to answer this question with, the options were much bleaker than the Louboutins, Chanel bags and Valentino dresses of my dreams. Alas, for now, my most expensive item would have to be my Russell and Bromley black patent <a href="http://www.russellandbromley.co.uk/loafers-lace-ups/chester/invt/121319">Chesters</a>.</span></span></pre>

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 21px;">About a month ago whilst browsing the men's section of Primark for some basic tops I saw this shirt in the sale for £1. At first I didn't believe it but it was actually only £1, amazing right? This is another shirt that goes with everything and completes every outfit and is probably the best bargain I ever have/will pick up.</span><br />

It makes me so sad to have to give this one to my Timberlands. I got them for Christmas last year and thought they'd be perfect for putting a boyish edge to a typically girly outfit but they never look as nice on as they do in theory. I feel like they make me look shorter which doesn't help my already short frame and so they hardly ever get worn. I'm hoping this autumn/winter they'll become more loved but at the moment it's just not working out between us...</span></pre>

<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This was a tough one. I love lairy prints and colours and these two rank joint first for very obvious reasons. This Orange H&M jumper is so bright it surprises me that it doesn't glow in the dark and this leopard print Vera Moda shirt dress (that I learned whilst taking these photos is way too short to ever be worn as a dress again) is also pretty loud, but much easier to tone down than the orange jumper. I love them both dearly!</span></pre>

<br /></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The lovely people at <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;"><a href="http://www.yourdreamcatcher.co.uk/">Your DreamCatcher</a> </span>sent me these grey joggers and so here's my review of them! </span><div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have Sixth Form five days a week and I work weekends so I'm pretty busy and so any down time I get to chill in comfy loungewear is appreciated highly. Although I'll always love a good well thought out outfit, there's something about how easy joggers and a tee is that I will always love.</span><div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">These joggers in particular are <i>super</i> soft and are that tiny bit baggy that is fundamental for those Sundays where you stuff your face and have no time for skinny jeans that are unforgiving to gluttony. Normally I don't vouch for joggers with no pockets but I don't think they'd suit this style and funnily enough I prefer these to my pocketed joggers. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The parcel came wrapped so cutely with a Marilyn Monroe quote and divine smelling scented beads. I was really impressed; it's finishing touches like this that really make the online shopping experience for me. This combined with the fact that I've always found dreamcatchers beautiful makes me sure that Your Dreamcatcher are a company after my own heart indeed.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I styled these in the first look with a cut-out vest that I did myself back when I was a scissor happy DIY Godess and my trusted black hi-top converse. I'm not really a heavy jewellery person but felt it needed a little something else so put on this skeleton necklace from Primark to finish it off. In the second look I wore a plain black cami from Primark with this fishnet mesh tshirt I got from eBay alongside my New Look Chelsea boots which I feel like I mention in every post...whoops!</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">You can buy these joggers <a href="http://www.yourdreamcatcher.co.uk/womens-jogging-bottoms/">here</a> and check out the rest of the range <a href="http://www.yourdreamcatcher.co.uk/">here</a> which includes t-shirts and pretty bohemian jewellery.</span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Fashion Week makes me so happy. </b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I'm a Londoner and unfortunately I'm yet to attend a show but I always feel an exciting buzz in the city when fashion week occurs. I get a fresh surge of inspiration to dress extra nice during NYFW and LFW particularly. I love how High Fashion is more often than not overwhelmingly out of my price range and yet it is my favourite source of inspiration for my 'ordinary person' style budget. Fashion weeks (as well as trips to Selfridges) give me this weird surge of ambition to be rich enough to roam around in such fine garments and they are generally great time for me <b>and</b> makes the camera roll on my phone so pretty!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is the only show I religiously live-stream and it is a dream of mine to attend. I always look forward to seeing the musicians that perform who always reflect the classy Britishism(?) that Burberry is all about. This year I literally ran home to watch it and got in JUST as the live-stream finished so metaphorically cried and redirected myself to the faithful Vogue website to see the looks before later watching the show. As per usual Christopher Bailey </span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">slayed</i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. I feel as though he just </span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">gets</i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> it-women, men, clothes, fashion, England. </span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It</b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. Burberry shows make me feel an unusual sense of patriotism and this one did not disappoint.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This wouldn't be a Fashion Week post without a mention to Wang. His show was arguably the most hyped up show of the season and he did not fail to impress. Everyone <b>loves</b> Wang but for some reason he isn't personally one of my favourite designers. None the less, this show was amazing and I am now patiently waiting for H&M X Alexander Wang to happen to my wardrobe.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;">Karl Lagerfeld strikes again. Am I the only person in the world who amuses themselves by imagining him working in McDonald's? I swear the man was genetically engineered for fashion. Alas, this show showcased texture in all it's glory and it was beautiful.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now this is a label that I'd never seen or heard spoke about before but I was struck by the tailoring in their opening looks when browsing the Vogue site and the rest of the show impressed me so much that I can see them becoming one of my favourites. I wanted to shop every look and loved the clean silhouettes, primary colours and overall polished look every model was rocking.</span></div>

It blew my mind. Normally with shows I love, there's always a section that I'm not too hot on but in this show I adored and was inspired by EVERY look. Oscar De La Renta is a designer I cherish dearly and this show consolidated that love (and my desire to attend the Academy Awards in one of his gowns).</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If you read my blog, you will know that I'm a massive fan of colour pay off. As a result, I don't tend to dabble in the sheer end of MAC lipstick finishes and so my only experience with a frost finish prior to buying this was Angel, which is a lovely standard baby pink. Therefore, when I saw the PR surrounding this new Viva Glam release and read that this shade was a frost finish I expected a potentially streaky, sheer, lackluster attempt at a funky mauve shade- I still wanted to give it a go but expectations were pretty low...</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Boy was I wrong</b>. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This colour is as opaque as 100 denier tights after two swipes and is so <b>badass</b>. It gives dimension to the lips and is a slate grey (</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">that when photographed with flash it comes up gold-ish) </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">with hints of mauve and tons of other good stuff that makes it impossible to pinpoint what colour it actually is (my favourite quality in a product). I wouldn't say it's duo chrome but it has an intense metallic effect that's<b> to die for</b>. The finish is one that has given me a really hard time trying to find the words to define the term frost in the context of lipstick without the aid of Google. I have no words to describe it other than <i>frosty- </i>if you give or have given this or angel a go you will (hopefully) know what I mean. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Viva Glam rihanna 2 is like an eyeshadow colour for your lips and I would say it's definitely one of the most non-standard colours MAC have come out with. As someone who constantly wonders <b>who</b> it was that decided that eyes were allowed to have every colour under the sun applied to them but forever forbid cheeks and lips from the luxury, it is right up my street (if you couldn't already tell). It's great to have added an extra-terrestrial-esque lipstick with MAC's trademark quality that I love so dearly into my collection. Also, the fact that all the money generated from the sales of this lipstick goes towards such an amazing cause wins the Olivia Williams award for <i><b>most justifiable purchase ever</b>.</i></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I know at first glance some people would see this as a shade to reserve for Halloween and fancy dress occasions only but I have already snuck this into my everyday makeup looks quite easily. I find it really compliments my makeup rather than drawing attention away from it. Admittedly, it is a bit of a strange colour but nowhere near as 'out there' and crazy as the shade range that NYX Macaroon lipsticks offers, for example. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The lady in MAC told me this lipstick is sticking around for a year which seems like ages but I already feel as though time is running out and I need to pick up a back up ASAP, I'm THAT in love with this. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Oh and did I mention that when I open the box I swear I hear a choir of Angels rejoicing; the matte red packaging is 10/10.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Overall:</b> I <i>highly</i> suggest you pick this up, this lipstick is <b><i>heavenly</i></b>. If you've seen the hype around this release and are worried it won't suit you or is outside your comfort zone etc. I would say get it and if you don't like it, you have donated to a great cause and have a solid Halloween lipstick for life- <i><b>everyone's a winner</b></i>. If you have never even worn makeup before, get it. In fact, I would suggest that every human in the world should get it, it's that good.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If you are a MAC enthusiast you will be well aware of the buzzing popularity surrounding the satin finish lipstick <b>Rebel</b>. It is a pretty iconic bold pink-berry-plum shade (and quite hard to identify as one colour alone.) So naturally I was delighted to discover that my sister already has it just before I was going to purchase it a couple of months ago. I didn't see the point in buying one for myself seeing as I view my sister's lipstick collection is an handy extension of my own so decided to try the highly talked about dupe by the american drugstore brand Wet 'n' Wild. </span><br>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Wet 'n' Wild shade is called <b>Sugar Plum Fairy 980C </b>and gives a matte finish but isn't drying if you apply a moisturising lip balm beforehand. The colour is spot on with Rebel, but admittedly it doesn't apply as smoothly due to the shape of the lip bullet (pictured) so I would recommend whacking on some lipliner before you apply for better precision; my personal preference</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> for these lipsticks and what I have on in the pictures is More to Love by MAC.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The packaging of the Wet 'n' Wild lipstick is quite cheap but the quality of the formula makes this an easily forgivable feature. It is just as long wearing and pigmented as Rebel and you can go most of the day with either of them on your lips and only have to worry about reapplying after eating.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What I think makes these two so similar is the fact that both are incredibly versatile. The more you put on the vampier it gets and every time you apply it you can get a different look. You can layer for vampy autumn/winter days or nights, pat lightly into your lips a subtle hot pink or just apply one layer for a bold berry look.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Most importantly, Sugar Plum Fairy is <b>MUCH</b> cheaper than Rebel. I bought mine from Amazon for £4.60 and it's currently sold out but you can buy them from eBay <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wet-n-Wild-Megalast-Lipstick-Lip-Color-908C-Sugar-Plum-Fairy-VHTF-New-Sealed-/300824725536">here</a>. It's an excellent money saver compared to the £15 <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/products/spp/shaded.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT168&PRODUCT_ID=PROD310&SKU_ID=SKU3060">MAC</a> charges for Rebel. </span></div>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Overall:</b> <i>SugarPlum Fairy is a matte version of Rebel and a dead ringer for it. However, if you strongly despise matte lipstick it probably isn't for you.</i></span></div>
