FOTD & OOTD #9 - Suitable For Paris - 20/08/14

 Hello everyone! Today I'm back with another FOTD & OOTD. Quick question before we get started, I don't know whether to keep "FOTD & OOTD" in the title, to me it's starting to seem a bit messy? I don't know, I'd love to hear what you guys think. I wanted everything that was a sort of 'series' or regular post to have a title to run along with it but now I don't know whether I should just keep the ford & ootd in the tags and or do both like I've always done. Please let me know in the comments what you think is best, it would be much appreciated!

Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick in 13 Rouge Jetset 

I forgot I had taken these pictures, so when I was going through some pictures from when I was 14/15 and laughing at them with my Mum (it's good, you should do it some time) I came across these and remembered I wanted to write a blog post on my outfit! I recently bought this lipstick, which you can see from my haul here and desperately wanted to try it out. I need to try it out more, however I know so far that it is super glossy and very red! I can't wait to wear it more and judge how it compares to my other classic red that I always go too.

Outfit:

Hat - H&M

Dress - H&M (not on website)

Blazer - Topshop (old)

Shoes - Clarks (almost exact here)

Usually when I am only going out shopping with my parents, I wear jeans and a t-shirt. But not on this day! I went super fancy and for some reason this reminds me of something someone would wear in Paris - probably super stereotypical, but it's true, the stripes just do it for me! I love the contrast of the dress and lips to the black hat and blazer, I feel they compliment each other very well. I'll definitely be wearing this look again and trying it out with different blazers/jackets and dresses. 

This outfit also reminded me that it's okay to be brave and wear something different. Often I wear what I'm comfortable in, which is jeans and a t-shirt/jumper, however this reminds me that wearing dresses is okay and with a wardrobe full of them, it's about time I give them some love!

That's about it for this post, what are you pushing yourself to wear that's maybe a bit out of your comfort zone, or if you haven't yet, then what would you want to wear that's out your comfort zone?

Have a lovely day, and don't stop smiling. :)

TKMaxx Mini Haul - Maybelline, Bourjois & Revlon!

Hello everyone! Today I thought I'd talk about some products I got at TKMaxx the other week - who knew they did cheap make-up?! Not me! So there I was, just having a nosy at the clutch bags when I spotted a little stand with elf, OPI, Nails Inc and more on it! AND at a discounted price! I mean, I couldn't not get myself something, let's be real. I also got my friends some make-up for their birthdays so technically I didn't just get stuff for myself.. So it's fine. It's fine. Kinda.

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara - £2.99

So I spotted this bad boy for £2.99 - can we just talk about how much of a bargain this is?! I literally know nothing about this mascara, I haven't read a single review on it and I've not even opened it as I'm saving it to try once my other mascara has went dry. To be honest, for just under £3 I don't care if it'll be bad as I just bought it on a whim. Have you tried it, and if so, what did you think? I'd love to know!

Revlon Cream Blush in 09 Rosy Glow - RRP £7.99, TKMaxx £3.99

Again, I spotted this bargain and thought it looked perfect for me. I'm not really a huge fan on blush, I don't even know how to properly apply it and to be honest, it kinda freaks me out - I have very chubby cheeks and I just have this image that blush will just make them look bigger than they already are (or something like that). However, recently I have decided to give blush a go and see if I like it or not and I thought this was a very natural colour. I've never tried a cream blush before so I don't know how to use it, I'm sure a YouTube tutorial will teach me though! Also, I love that it has a little mirror - super handy for on the go!

Bourjois Jet Set Red Lip & Nail Duo - RRP £18, TKMaxx £9.99

Now THIS was something that caught my eye immediately. I also got this for a friend as I think she will love it, red lips and nails are a common love we share. I've wanted to try out some Bourjois products for a while and when I saw that I was basically getting a nail polish free with this lipstick, I was sold! The nail polish is one of their So Laque! and is called Rouge Escarpin 24 and the Lipstick is one of the Rouge Edition lipsticks in 13 Rouge Jet Set. Red lips and nails are just my default when I'm unsure on what to put on (either lips or nails) so this is perfect! I've used the lipstick once and so far I'm really liking it - it's glossy, easy to apply and very red. I'll keep using it and I'm excited to try the nail polish so I'll let you know how I get on with it soon!

So that's about it for this post, hope you enjoyed ANOTHER haul - I promise that's the last haul for a while, I'm putting myself on a spending ban of make-up and stuff in general UNLESS I genuinely do need it (so if I run out of dry shampoo or something, I mean that is a life time essential product). Have you tried any of these products, did you like them? Let me know!

Have a lovely day, and don't stop smiling. :)
