Lipstick Collection

Over the last few days, I've bought quite a bit of lipstick. In the past I'd never really been much of a lipstick person, but lately I feel I am becoming one. For some reason, I absolutely can not wear lip gloss, or basically anything shimmery on my lips, so I've taken a shining to matte (I guess) lipstick. I'm very picky with the color and quality of lipstick that I buy, because I feel like a lot for not go well with my coloring and my lips are almost always dry, and some lipsticks make them look terribly chapped when they aren't. 

But anyways, I thought I'd show you my collection of lipsticks!

I have ten in total, and all from various stores. The four on the left are part of the latest Kate Moss for Rimmel London collection and they are absolutely amazing! The quality is great, and I love these colors - if you can get your hands on a few then I definitely recommend getting them. The next two are from a random store that I found in Amsterdam, and they're very nice and very cheap. The Gold by Giles ones are from New Look, and the last two are from Mac and Makeup Forever, in that order. The Makeup Forever one was a free sample I got a while ago from Sephora.

If you can get your hands on any of these lipsticks, I absolutely recommend them all.

Love,

Caro

Sales!

Sorry that I haven't been on here in a while, I've been a little busy trying to adjust to an entirely new time zone whilst simultaneously cramming for a test and moving in. But somehow, in the midst of all that, I still managed to pop down to the City Centre and check out the sales at Topshop and Zara. I'm really trying not to shop as much, so I only picked up a couple of things.

The first thing I got was this pair of jeans - it was the most expensive thing I got at 20 pounds, but that's a little more than half off the original price. They are absolutely amazing - high waisted and a nice, versatile color. I actually ordered tham along with another pair of jeans that were on sale too, but I don't think I'm going to keep the other pair.

When I went to pick up my jeans order, I took a look around the store and saw lots of cute things, but I really didn't feel like spending that much money. And then I found this absolutely gorgeous burgundy leather skater skirt for only 7 pounds! Its super flattering, and seems like a great piece for going out.

The last item I got form Topshop is this pair of trousers. They're currently on sale for 15 pounds from the website, and I just ordered them last night so I can't wait for them to come in. I've seen a few different people wearing a similar pair of trousers from Topshop that are black and white and they look adorable on. I'm not much of a color person, but for this price I figured I could try. Plus, I love how they styled it online with a white crop top.

The last thing I got was this jumper from Zara. Its a gorgeous cream color, and it feels really nice and has a cool zip down the back. For only 6 pounds, it was a great deal. I also got a sheer black jumper, but since I was lazy and didn't want to try it on in the store, when I tried it on at home the shoulders felt a little weird so I'm giving it to my flat mate.

I tried to be a little bit more practical this time around. At least I didn't get a ton of stuff.

Have you guys got any things from the sales? If so, what did you get? Tell me in the comments.

Love,

Caro

Style Steal: Isabel Marant Ariana Jacket

I'm really not a very colorful person when it comes to my clothes. Don't get me wrong, color is nice, but my closet stends to stay in the darker hue range, with blue or tan being the most colorful things I wear on a semi-regular basis. So when I find a piece of clothing (that's not a dress) that is colorful and that I love, I buy it, because its a pretty rare occurrence. 

Unfortunately, this time I fell in love with a jacket that costs about the same as a months rent for my flat. So since I couldn't spend the money that I need to live on a single jacket, I started looking for a cheaper alternative.

The Isabel Marant Ariana Jacket is an absolutely gorgeous jacket that is sold out most places online, and way out of my price range. Luckily, Asos stocks a very similar blazer, called the ASOS Blazer In Pink Textured Boucle for £35. And right now, Asos has free shipping and a ten percent off coupon for everything on their website! It really is a great deal, and I can't wait to wear mine.

Love,

Caro
