New Arrival: Alice in Wonderland by Paul & Joe

Hi guys!

Other than taking pictures of myself for uni

(not just for fun *cough cough*!)

I have also been waiting for an asos order

and today it arrived!

It's the Alice in wonderland tin by Paul & Joe

I was really gutted I didn't get my hands on an urban decay palette

so thought I would plump for this to ease my pain!

It came in a gorgeous cardboard sleeve / box

it's quite textured and expensive feeling

and the little illustrations are so darling!

Here's the tin itself,

It came in two colourways,

blue packaging with a peach lipstick (which is what I went for)

and pink packaging with a pink lipstick

Open it up and inside is a blotting paper holder (with mirror)

perfect for in your handbag

Blotting paper refills

and the lipstick

The tin is pretty sturdy,

and everything feel really good quality

Here's the lipstick

I swatched it for you

and erm there was no point showing it to you!

it is so sheer there is next to no pigment at all

just a little shimmery, felt moisturising though

and here they are in my hand for size comparison!

Overall I love it!

Its worth it for the packaging alone in my book!

its well made and so so cute!

However I was considering getting both colourways

and I'm really glad I didn't

With the lipsticks lack of pigment, almost like a lip salve,

I assume the pink would be pretty much the same

so yeah, no need to get both!

have you considered buying it?

or do you have the urban decay palette?

(if you do I'm jealous!)

New Arrival: Nail Varnish, Nudes and Nylons!

'ello tink

how are we all this fine Sunday??

Thought I would show you guys some recent purchases of mine!

Went on a little O.P.I kick!

found a really good store on ebay

EnchantedBeautySpot

I bought L to R:

Tickle my Francey

My Private Jet

Absolutely Alice

Mad as a Hatter

Rapidry Topcoat

I larf them all,

I especially am in love with mad as a hatter

my god its the glitteriest thing I have ever seen

however it was a NIGHTMARE to get off

Nail varnish remover didn't do a lot,

so I resorted to picking it off

and it took half the top layer of my nails with it!

So now they are all uneven and bumpy :(

thought I would show you how I store my polishes

I know its not the most organised of collections,

but I love my paul frank pouch and had to put it to use!

Talking of nail varnish,

when looking through my mothers nail polish box I found these

and she hardly ever wears nail varnish,

and I'm sure I haven't seen her wear these colours even though they are pretty old

So I have borrowed them :)

and I cant believe I forgot to take a picture

I own CHANEL PARTICULIERE

I love it,

I know I'm buying into all the hype

but its such a nice colour

I was on a waiting list for a few weeks from my local Chanel counter

and she phoned me and I went and got it!

I got a little white Chanel paper bag too,

I had a perma-smile for about 2 days!

anyway back to my new arrivals

I got this trompe l'oeil inspired dress from oasis

Its soo cute,

very comfy and easy to wear

I bought it in black with a white print as well!

I got this over sized jumper from New Look

I love its fairytale theme,

and of course nude colouring again!

It even has pearls sewn onto the frame!

I also bought it in grey,

Its over sized so I bought the size down,

Its also slightly cropped

last but not least

I bought these skirts from topshop

I bought the green one first and then went back for the black and grey/lilac

they are made from nylon and elastane

they are almost like thick tights material!

the come in one size,

and they are amazingly stretchy,

they are a really versatile design, you can wear them as a high waisted skirt, t-shirt tucked in

pull them down for a knee length pencil

or ruche it up for a mini!

phew that's it for now guys,

Lust after: Alexander or Alexa - Battle of the Bags

So I want a Designer bag!
I really really want a designer bag,
so I'm going to try and save up,
but which one to choose??

I think a mulberry alexa would be A-Maz-ing
So old school classic, yet modern and chic
*drools*
I love it, but I'm not sure it's edgy enough

On the other hand
I would give my right arm for an Alexander Wang coco Duffel!
Sooo edgy and biker babe,
I really wanna be an Olsen!

But is it too edgy,
When I'm thirty will I wish I'd bought something more timeless??
Its damn sexy though

and Ever since a girl came into the shop wearing this bag
I cant stop thinking about it
by the time I found out what it was... it was sold out!

I think I'm going to try and get my sticky mitts on this one first

probably.....

whats your dream bag?
