Monday Amusements 12

July 8, 2013 By Julianne

Yay! Sandal weather!

When it comes to lipstick, I only suit two colours. I don’t really mind though, as they’re the best two – bright pink and bright red. I prefer red in the winter, but now it’s summer and I’m all about the pink, so I loved Lipglossiping‘s Five head-turning pinks to get your lips looked at!

This look by Zoffe has me itching to wear more blue and green. Am I the only one that loves to match their make-up to their outfit? My clothes are often dictated by my nail varnish – I won’t wear something that clashes with my nails!

I also really liked Katie’s silver and black liner look. I’ve got a discontinued Bourjois liquid eyeshadow that looks similar to the Rimmel one featured, so I’m planning to try it with that.

I loved these Gay Pride Rainbow Nail Designs at Do Not Refreeze – and there’s an fantastic giveaway at the bottom of the post. For another amazing giveaway, check out another of my favourite blogs, Daisies and Dr Martens.

I’m going to a festival in a couple of weeks and have started planning what I’m going to be taking in my make-up bag. It was great to see another blogger’s choices at Cut-Throat Beauty and I will definitely be posting about the items I decide to take!

Anushka Tay’s review of Honest Burgers in Brixton made me feel really hungry. I’ve been meaning to go there for about a year but every time I’m in Brixton long enough to get dinner they’re closed!

Hope you’re having a good Monday! I’m off to listen to comedy cricket music. I know almost nothing about cricket, but I still manage to find it endlessly hilarious.

this pastel obsession

July 7, 2013 By Julianne

They’re a regular spring trend, but this year I was obsessed with pastels like never before. I mostly stuck to lilac, because I get bored of other pastels too easily, and as I don’t think it suits me that well, I balanced it out with lots of black and bright pink. A couple of times I went for petrol green instead. I love purple and green together.

I wore this pale pink badge and brooch on my grey jacket almost all the time, and chose that lilac shirt to wear to work almost once a week.

I wore Aromaleigh’s Penelope eyeshadow so many times I lost count. Often several times in a week. It’s rare for me to become that devoted to one product.

I got out all my nail polish, picked out all the pastel shades, and put them in front of the box in my cupboard, for easy browsing, but mostly I wore the Colour Collection lilac from a Christmas set, sometimes with L.A. Colors’ Flurry on the top for some sparkle.

I have been choosing to wear brighter shades lately, as it is now definitely summer, and I’m sure I’ll go back to jewel tones as soon as soon as I feel the first chills of winter, but pastels have won a place in my heart and my imagination. I’ve spent a lot of time lusting after long floaty lilac skirts. I have yet to find the perfect one, even after a lot of eBay trawling, but I’m still hoping that it will materialise.

How do you feel about pastels? Did you follow the floral trend instead? I picked up a really cute dress that’s pink with blue flowers in a charity shop, and had a few floral favourites already.
