Because the moon's rather beautiful tonight ♥

I just HAD to take a picture of the moon tonight. Because it's a full moon, it makes it look extra pretty. I couldn't stop staring at it when I was in the car, the sky was almost purple at the time because of the sunset but I didn't have my camera with me so I was like...

Dammit -_-

BUT I quickly ran into my house to grab my camera when I got home + took a couple of shots of it. ^^

What do you think of the moon?

Shopping Haul (ft. Hollister, Superdry, Zara + Revlon)

Last Thursday, I went shopping with my friend Anna in Aberdeen before our prelims started. I managed to pick up a few things I wanted that I saw online + just thought to show you guys what I got! ^^

Clothing items:

Hollister

RRP: £32

I saw this on Hollister's website + thought that this would be a great top for the summer! It's made of a sheer yet soft material. I liked the detailing of this top as it gives it a more feminine style towards it.

RRP: £32 £11.09

This was in Hollister's clearance section which I thought was a bargain. There were some jeans on clearance too, reduced from £60 - £20! None of my size though =(

This top is ideal for summer as it's sleeveless + flowy. I like the detailing too as it has little crystals/diamante's on it + sowed on flowers. 

Navy Friendship bracelet

RRP: £3

This is my second Hollister bracelet + believe it or not, it's from the men's sections =P 

Although it's just a plain/casual bracelet, there's something about it that I really like. Probably the SoCal effect that it gives off ~

Superdry

Superdry Academy Gilet

RRP: £84.99

As blogged in previous posts, I've been ranting on about gilets + how I had my eye on the Superdry Academy gilet. I finally have it + I'm super happy that I got it ^^ I kinda freaked out when I was in Cult though as they only had sizes XS + S. I tried on a size S + to my suprise, it fitted me! ^^ 

Although it's on the pricey side, I don't regret buying it at all. It's super cosy + very fashionable! 

Zara

Buckskin Blutcher in Ecru colour 

RRP: £29.99

I've had my eye on these shoes on the Zara site for a while + decided to purchase them while I was instore ^^ It's made of a suede like material which I like as it makes the shoe more comfier ~

Revlon (Boots)

Revlon Matte Nude Attitude 001

RRP: £5.19

Left with flash, right with no flash

Boots + Superdrug were having a £2's off Revlon lipsticks so I decided to pick up a nude lipstick from Revlon's Matte collection. I quite like it as it gives a matte effect instead of a shiny/glossy effect (=

Hope you guys enjoyed my haul! 

Feedback would be appreciated ^^

Revlon Matte Nude Attitude lipstick (+ swatches + comparisons)

I picked up Revlon's Matte lipstick in Nude Attitude on Thursday as I've been looking for a matte-ish nude lipstick for a while. It's on offer for £5.49 instead of £7.49 in Boots + Superdrug at the moment so if you want it, you better hurry!

Left with flash, right with no flash

I quite like the colour + effect of it. It really does give you a nude colour + matte finishing look. I would probably tell a friend about it if they were looking for a nude lipstick too! All in all, I'm happy with it ^^

Comparison:

I've decided to compare Revlon's Matte Nude Attitude lipstick to two other nude lipsticks which are:

• Maybelline Moisture Extreme lipstick in Pinky Beige
• Maybelline Moisture Extreme lipstick in Luminous Beige

L-R: Revlon Nude Attitude, Maybelline Pinky Beige, Maybelline Luminous Beige

Top-bottom: Revlon Nude Attitude, Maybelline Pinky Beige, Maybelline Luminous Beige

The colours of the three lipsticks are quite similar but are only just about one or two shades darker/lighter. I would say Maybelline's Pinky Beige has more of a pinky tone towards it compared to the other two though.

 Maybelline Pinky Beige

As you can see, Maybelline's Pinky Beige has more of a pink tone towards it. This is great for adding colour onto your lips or just daily wear!

Maybelline Luminous Beige

Left with flash, right with no flash

I would say Maybelline's Luminous Beige is slightly the same as Revlon's Nude Attitude as the colors are quite similar. The two Maybelline lipsticks are more moisturizing compared to the Revlon's lipstick. 

L-R: Revlon Nude Attitude, Maybelline Pinky Beige, Maybelline Luminous Beige

Which one do you prefer best? (=

Thanks for reading!

OPI Katy Perry Collection (+ Swatches)

I went to 'Sally Beauty Supply' on Monday hoping to grab a few goodies from there that day. I ended up walking out the shop with OPI's Katy Perry Collection (the mini nail lacquers). I was going to buy the regular size of 'Teenage Dream' but I decided to buy the mini collection instead as there was more variety  ^^

L-R: The One That Got Away, Teenage Dream, Last Friday Night + Not Like the Movies

RRP - £12.98

Swatches:

Not Like the Movies

I've seen swatches of this nail polish before I got the collection + I didn't really like it. But after swatching it, I absolutely love it. It's a shimmery metallic purple/green + looks great!

The One That Got Away

This isn't really my cup of tea but it is nice. I probably wouldn't really wear this as I'm not a major hot pink lover. However, those who love pinks, this is great! It's a shimmery hot pink ^^

Teenage Dream

I loved this nail polish ever since I first saw swatches of it. It's a sheer pink with silver glitters on it which is great for special occasions. Also, you could probably apply this over a nail polish to make it more glittery + sparkly ~

Last Friday Night

This is slightly the same as Teenage Dream but a sheer blue instead. You need to apply at least 2 thick coats for the blue to come out as it's VERY sheer. Again, you could apply this on top of a nail polish for a glittery  shimmery effect ^^

I didn't purchase OPI's Black Shatter (which is also part of the Katy Perry Collection) as I already have Barry M's Nails Effect. They're both basically the same (=

What do you think of OPI's Katy Perry Collection?

NOTD: Nails Inc Denim (+ matte top coat)

As many of you's may know, Boots had a Nails Inc promotion as part of their Diet Coke collection. I managed to get the Denim & Caramel nail polishes thanks to my friend (check out her blog here!). 


Today I decided to wear Nails Inc's Denim polish:

Nails Inc Denim is a navy blue colour, maybe a slight shade lighter than navy. It covered well with two coats and dried pretty fast. I've been looking for a navy blue nail polish and this one is perfect!

I also applied Rimmel London's Matte Finish top coat as I quite like the matte look at the moment:

Nails Inc Denim looks great with a matte coat! Gives it a totally different look - from glossy to matte. 

What do you think of the matte finish? (:

River Island Booties!

I don't usually buy shoes from River Island but as I was browsing around the internet, I came across River Island + saw the most cutest boots ever!

RRP - £44.99

I'm not usually into faux fur clothing items or shoes but these ankle boots are adorable. Not sure whether these boots will suit me or not but I'm planning to go in store sometime next week and hopefully try these boots on if they are available in store ^^
