30 Day Challenge- Day 12, A colour I like to wear

I'm going to be really boring here and say black (sorry!).

Here's why I love black-

-It is slimming!

-Versatile, goes with every other colour

-Fail safe- black goes with every skin tone and hair colour so you can't clash!

-Popular- you are guaranteed if you choose black there is going to be something suitable in every shop. Go for any other colour and you find 100's of different shades that are hard to match.

Of course I love other colours too, my favourite colour is red. But when it comes to choosing my favourite colour to wear, its got to be black.

What colour do you like to wear/ wear most?

New purchases

I actually bought the leggings and dress a few weeks ago now but only just decided to show you. The make-up was purchased from Morrison's yesterday, i always have a peek at the make-up section when we go food shopping.

Sparkly leggings on the left, £8 from Matalan. Shiny leggings on the right, £15 from Next.

Close up of my sparkly leggings :-) I love these!

Burgundy Asymmetric Chiffon Dress, £25 from Desireclothing.co.uk

I bought a Collection 2000 cream puff lip cream before in a different colour and liked it so much i decided to get another, this time in "Powder Puff", £2.99.

Collection 2000 Extreme 24 hour felt tip eye liner in purple, £2.99 (i think!)

The tip is sturdy and has a nice point to it. I found it very easy to apply and get a good flick. I will definitely purchase this in the other colours available.

Left- Cream puff. Right- Felt tip liner.

"Powder Puff" on my lips. This particular shade showed up the dryness of my lips quite badly even with a lip balm underneath. I had to exfoliate and moisturise like a crazy woman, then apply.

Lets throw in a FOTD...

Here i am wearing the lip cream and eyeliner as above, along with...

Nivea Visage tinted moisturiser.

Vivo blusher and highlighter.

HD brows.

Dior mascara in black.

Me today & a Matalan dress bargain!

Today i have gone for comfort, im feeling sorry for myself as we had to go to Tesco for our weekly food shop. I hate spending money on food when theres so many fabulous clothes and shoes out at the moment! Cant have the family starving though can we?! I am now sitting on my bed with the ipad with my dog Charlie looking at me. Think hes wanting a walk. Its nice to escape the mad house for awhile!

FOTD

Face- Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation, VIVO baked bronzer in Bronzed shade 2, VIVO blush and highlighter duo in Sugar Candy shade 2.
Eyes- Rimmel liquid eyeliner in black, Dior mascara in black, the highlighter part from the VIVO blush above,
Eyebrows- HD brow palette.
Lips- Barry M lipstick in shade 62 with Bourjois Docteur Glamour lipstick in 17 Rose requinque.

I ordered a top from River Island the other day, it was the grey one with a black bow that i posted about in the week. Well it arrived yesterday and didnt look good on me so i took it back to the store and exchanged it for this New York City tshirt, i love the rolled sleeves on it.

This is my favourite cardigan EVER. I bought it from Matalan in two sizes too big so its nice and snuggly. I love the dusky pink colour of it :-)

New York City tshirt, River Island, £15.
Rib Mohair Boyfriend Cardigan in Deep Rosewood, Matalan, £16.


How are you spending your Sunday?


Now onto the Matalan bargain. I went into town yesterday and had a look in Quiz. I found this stunning dress for £49.99. Its perfect for the Christmas Party season. I wanted to buy it so bad, but couldnt afford too :-( boooo!

When i get home my sister texts me, shes bought a new dress. A long sleeved, all over sequinned one. Nooooo! Shes bought MY dress?! But then she said it was from Matalan for £25! Thats half of what i was willing to pay in Quiz. I decided to check it out for myself, surely it wouldnt be as good quality? But it is, its gorgeous! The only difference is (apart from the colour obviously) is that the Quiz dress has rectangle sequins and the Matalan dress sequins are rounded. But they both give off the same amazing sparkly effect. I actually prefer the blue, its a nice alternative to black.

Which do you prefer?
