Pink it was love at first sight - outfit post

Greetings fellow earth dwellers.

Pink is high on my lust list at the moment, which is odd as I don't really see myself as a girlie girl. However, I do find bright colours therapeutic and there's something about hot pink which just makes me happy.

I seem to have this weird smug face going on in a lot of my photos at the moment, as the photo below illustrates. When I was younger I had chronic bitchface when my face was at rest, and now its resting point appears to be somewhere between smugness and sucking on a lemon, gah. Looking at photos of myself every couple of days is really weird at the moment. Even when you're on the body love train sometimes the constant self-reflection is hard.

I bought this vest from Simply Be a month or so ago. It was £12, which is pretty good for a long line vest, especially one with a funky print. I bought the shoes from the Very sale recently for a steal. Their wide fit shoes are quite good and I have 2 other pairs I bought a couple of years ago which I like a lot.

Vest, Simply Be
Skirt, old Yours Clothing
Shoes, Very.co.uk
Hair flower, Off With Her Head millinery
Necklace, Extreme Largeness.

Pssst! If you find most necklaces too small around your neck I have a hack coming up on Thursday so stay tuned, as they say.

I'll be taking a close up of my hair flower of the month from OWHH soon. It's got a strawberry on it. Very Wimbledon, dahhling!

Illamasqua eyeshadow swatches

Hello lovely ones!

I made an order from Illamasqua in their sale some weeks ago and here are my spoils. I got 3 pressed eyeshadows and a loose pigment. They were a fiver each. They are pictured without primer but I think they will all be more vibrant over a primer.

Top row - Angst & Burst//Bottom row Savage & Zeitgeist.

Top row - Angst & Burst//Bottom row Savage & Zeitgeist.

Zeitgeist is just stunning with its silver sparkle

Expect a FOTD using a couple of these colours soon!

I also have some Illamasqua foundation and concealer to show you. The concealer smells like vanilla! Oh my days. Yum.

Have you bought anything by Illamasqua?

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Hello lovelies!

I hope you're all having a great weekend.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. You may be seeing lots of pink products online, in blogs and in the shops. As well as raising money for breast cancer charities, it's really important to catch it early.

Please click through and have a look at the Breast Cancer Care awareness page if you need help in how to know what's normal and what's abnormal with your chesticles.

I'll fess up. I don't check my breasts half as regularly as I should. When I was 15 I had a lump in my breast that really hurt. I went to the doctors and it was a cyst, thankfully. I took some tablets and it dispersed but I had that sheer panic. All that taken into consideration I'm a TOTAL FOOL for not checking my breasts properly.

Your Man is a cheeky little app where dishy men remind you it's time to check your boobaloos. You can set a reminder of your choice or at random. I've picked a monthly reminder for about a week after my period. You can get in for Android phones or for iPhones and it's totally free.

Please bear in mind MEN can get breast cancer too, so while you're checking yourself out, inform the men in your lives too. There should be absolutely no stigma attached to men checking their chests, so please spread the word.

To be perfectly honest I wish there was more awareness of all cancers.

I lost my nan to gall bladder cancer which spread to her liver and in 18 months she was gone. Hugs to anyone who's been touched by cancer - those who survived, those who died and all of those affected.

NOTD - MUA pink shade 3

Hello lovelies.

Here's my latest mani, using shade 3 from MUA which is a lovely dark pink.

It's a bit streaky and not quite opaque, but would've been in 3 coats. I used 2. Still, it's a quid and no one's going to get close enough to inspect my nails so closely so I'm more than happy.

Nail polish, £1 from Superdrug.com, Superdrug stores and the MUA store.

Thanks for peeking!
