Pins of the Week #5

Hey Everyone!

Hope you're all well! Its that time of the week again! Man, these weeks just fly by! I've got reading week next week and I really need the break!

So as Halloween is just around the corner I thought we'd theme this weeks pins and see if I could inspire both myself and you!

1. This is so cool! It almost makes me want to have a Halloween party just to make some cool decorations! I love innovation crafty things, this just really floats my boat! (See what I did there?!)

2. Loving this make up! I love the fact that one side is pretty the other side is different! I know Halloween is about being scary but I can't say I want to go out looking like a zombie, this would be perfect for a Halloween night out! Pretty but shows you've made an effort!

3. Loving the fact this is Halloween so muted down! Black and orange but without dressing up! Perhaps an idea for a shopping trip in the day on Halloween? What do you think?

4. A wearable nail art idea for Halloween! I can't tell you how many intricate or character related ideas there were! I don't want bats and pumpkins all over my nails!!! Just enough to give a nod to the time of the year!

5. Finally a little laughter for you! I hope you can all read this in the way it is said in the film and you've all had a little chuckle! What a good film, who can argue with Mean Girls?! LOVE IT!

So thats it! What're you going as for Halloween? Let me know down below!

Pins of the Week #4

Hey Everyone!

Sorry for the lack of this post last week, I was without my laptop over the weekend and I have been busy with uni things this week so thought I'd just postpone and post this week instead!

So this is what I've been loving for the last two weeks!

1. Ooft, what a beautiful piece of photography. I'd love to see something like this, what a feat of nature! I'm so taken with this photo, I just can't stop looking at it!!!

2. Now, you will all probably know by now that I love me some mint. I have been in a slight dilemma as it really isn't an autumn colour. This is beautiful though, maybe I'll hunt down a mint coat so my love affair doesn't have to end!

3. I really need to stop wedding planning. I have no boyfriend, and need to face the fact its not going to happen for a while, well a girl can dream can't she. I love the neckline of this dress, also the bouquet colours and so understated, I think it just look beautiful!

4. Now, I have a real urge to be creative. I am creative on a daily basis doing a drama degree but not hands on. I want to use glue and paint and actually create an object! I love this idea, a lovely way to change up decor for autumn. Maybe a lovely autumn walk to collect some materials is in order, then I'll come home and sit by the fire and do some crafts. How quaint.

5. Christmas is coming! I love this look for a Christmas or new years party. So pretty but still classy. Gotta get my glitter fix somewhere! Now to get perfecting my liquid liner, a skill I've never really posessed!

So those are my picks! What have you been loving over the past couple of weeks? Do let me know, I love to hear from you!

My Mac Quad!

Hey everyone! 

I hope you are all well! I am feeling poopy, freshers flu has well and truly kicked in. Me and my housemate have spent the day in our PJ's watching Les Mis and feeling sorry for ourselves! In an attempt to perk myself up and feel like I have achieved something today I thought I'd finally publish my thoughts etc on my beautiful MAC palette! Its enough to make any make up buff's heart flutter and just editing these photos and writing about it is already making me feel better!

Here it is...

 

Firstly, let me just address the rubbish pictures. I'm not really sure what happened, the fancy pants camera just wasn't playing ball and the light made the swatches look seriously washed out. They look lovely in person, honest. The one of the open palette is OK though so hopefully you get the gist!

Now, this palette was my birthday pressie from my housemates! Thank you girlies! I got it when I came back to Uni in september and it was the best start to the year ever! 

Ooft, I just love it. I chose the colours and I'm tres happy with my choices. 

From the top left; Naked Lunch (Minimal pink with shimmer); Satin Taupe (Taupe with silver shimmer); All that Glitters (Beige with gold pearl); Woodwinked (Warm antique gold) All MAC's descriptions obviously!

I think you'll agree they're some blogger favourites! I love naked lunch with satin taupe blended through the crease! It turns almost purple and I love it! All that Glitters is perfect for everyday on it own or as a base with something else accompanying it! Woodwinked is Beautiful. If you pack it onto the lid and then blend it out through the crease the colour completely changes and becomes darker, a perfect easy smokey eye!

Oh my, I really do love this palette! I am so pleased with my choices! I've now got more to add to my list, maybe the 15 pan palette needs to come my way... *remembers the student budget* Well, Christmas is just around the corner!

I think I'd like to do a bit of a look book with looks from this palette, but give me a few weeks until I've got a few days off of Uni and I'll try and sort it out!

What MAC shadows have you got/ do you lust after?

Pins of the week #3

Hey everyone!

Its that time again! This is what I've been Pinterest loving this week!

1. I adore this dress! I think the shape is super flattering and its so elegant! I need one!

Source

2. Ooh I have been in a wedding mood this week. I go through phases of looking at nothing but wedding related pins, this week was pretty much one of those! The lace train on this dress is just gorgeous! *pulls self together*

Source

3. Love this quote. I also quite like the typography, sums up the quote I think! Beautiful!

4. I have been on the look out for some casual clothes this week. I need things that are easy to throw on before a 9 o'clock lecture but something that looks pulled together! I think this perfectly fits the bill. My leather jacket is on its way and I am going to try and recreate this look! Would anyone like a Uni lookbook type post? Let me know down below!

5. Firstly a Fleetwood Mac lyric which I love but even more so the typography! My fave colours and love the floral pattern. I'd like to make my own (or maybe I'll just look on Etsy and have someone make it for me ;))

So thats it! What do you think of my picks? What have you been pinning this week?
