New Looks for the transitional period...

As the weather brightens up and the fashion changes, so does the way in which we'd our make-up. Whilst, yes, deep red/purple lipsticks can make you look bad-ass all-year-round, this Spring we're playing with lighter, softer colours which comes with the influx of (hopefully) better weather. Along with a simple eye look which you can wear daily, we have put together three lip colours for you to try this season...
Lipstick - Bobbi Brown 'Rose'
This is a great mid-season colour as it has a very vibrant undertone, yet is suitable for everyday with a simple eye or for the night with a metallic smoky eye. Either way this is a fun, different shade to try out this season!
Lipstick - PUPA True Lips '02'
This nude is perfect for light skin tones (like my very pale skin) but would also look great on darker skin tones. It has a warm mauve undertone and it is versatile, so matches with practically any eye look. Perfect for a natural look and good for someone who is just starting to experiment with a vibrant yet neutral lipstick. 
Lipstick - MAC 'Diva' (Matte)
This colour is EVERYTHING. It looks good with a simple make-up look, allowing the colour to really pop and catch your attention, but can also be amplified with a sharp wing liner and bronzed skin. This bold, statement colour wears very well and has a nice satin finish, perfect for transitioning to spring and without looking too harsh.

Amsterdam Weekend 2016 + Mini Haul...


Dress, Top  - Episodes Amsterdam
***
Last weekend, one of us spent time in the city of Amsterdam, for a short art trip. Although the journey was long, 7 hours, two cappuccinos and god-knows-how-many Kinder bars later, we were there.
Unlike at home, the pavements were not embellished with pigeon poo - big red buses were replaced with trams, and of course, bicycles. So. Many. Bikes.
 On the first day we went to the Van Gogh Museum, where we saw work from his contemporaries, as well as the artist's most notable pieces. 
On day two we were given a lot more freedom to roam the area, and I'm a tad embarrassed to admit we took an Uber to get to a vintage shop only a few minutes away (the things you do for the sake of fashion). The store, appropriately named 'Episodes', is where I managed to bag the stuff above.. I think it's safe to say that you can't turn down a 20 euro dress and 12 euro up-cycled Versace top either...
On the last day, before spending what seemed a lifetime heading back to London, a friend and I roamed the city. Being a Sunday, many smaller shops and galleries were closed, but it was a lot quieter and gave us an opportunity to see the beautiful and tranquil side of Amsterdam, without the obstruction of having to go in a slow group and selfie sticks.
