MILANI COSMETICS UK HAUL


Milani Cosmetics has always been hugely hyped about but is unfortunately also one of the brands that we have difficulty getting hold of in the UK, after some online research I have found the Milani Cosmetic UK website by Comedic. I bought a few products to try out especially one of their newest foundation: Conceal + Perfect 2 in 1 foundation and concealer.

KIKO COSMETICS HAUL


This is a bit late but I placed an order on a couple of things since an email popped into my inbox. They had a 5 for £10 offer going on - a great opportunity since I am collection the Long Lasting Eyeshadow sticks which are my favourite eyeshadow sticks that I reach for.

DESTROYED DENIM & WRAP TOP

REPLAY JEANS | MISSGUIDED TOP | STRADIVARIUS COAT | QUAY AUSTRALIA SUNGLASSES | STAN SMITH TRAINERS
I went to London last Sunday visiting Oxford street and Westfield shopping centre and picked up items that I really needed in my life which would be part of  'The Vanity Edit' post. I needed something comfortable to wear and easy to walk around in all day.

EX1 INVISIWEAR LIQUID FOUNDATION REVIEW


It's been a few months since I first started using this and I am ready to share my review. I have combination skin - oily and dry depending on the weather. I first heard about this on YouTube and found out it was available to purchase off  Look Fantastic, I did a little more research online about the colour range, suitability and did some Instagram stalking of people who have used the foundation - Rita Ora during X Factor and Kylie Jenner on her Elle cover.

The foundation is said to be formulated for olive/yellow based skin tones, is non pore clogging, helps banish imperfections, is 100% fragrance and oil free and leaves you with a skin on skin natural effect.

I did not realise how many 'new addition' items I have purchased until I started writing this post. I am going to put a spending ban on for next month because realistically I can't use this all up. Starting of with beauty subscriptions, I am subscribed to BirchBox, Cohorted and I sampled the Look incredible box for the first time this month.

STRIPE STREAK

ZARA TOP | NEW LOOK CULOTTES | TOPSHOP SANDALS
I start off all my posts saying 'I'm in love', so yet again I am in love, otherwise it wouldn't be in my wardrobe. This is a very unique off shoulder piece that sports an eye-catching and different design. The bold colour blocks has contrasting colours and ruffle sleeves that gives that bouncy and dimensional effect. The top is definitely an acquired taste, some of you guys might hate it, but I am loving this yellow mustard shade that is happening right now. Once again, this was sold out in-stores and online for a couple and weeks, which I then stumbled upon on Depop.

Like all my other 'The Wardrobe Edit's ' I am always picking up item that synchronises, this time with mustard yellow, stripes and some sporty influence in the mix. I'm sure you have seen this jacket a couple of times on my blog and Instagram, this is such a vibrant piece to style around. I love the detail and that pop of colour it provides to any outfit. Below is some outfits that I have styled with the jacket.

STRIPE CULOTTES AND LEATHER

ZARA JACKET | NEW LOOK CAMI | RIVER ISLAND CULOTTES | ZARA SANDALS | QUAY AUSTRALIA SUNGLASSES
Holla to the sun! I think it's starting to get a bit warmer in the day time. I mentioned in my Yellow Love post that I wanted to style my yellow leather jacket with some culottes for a summery vibe and here it is. I have been looking for a black culotte jumpsuit to wear with the jacket - I still haven't found the ideal one yet, but I picked up these stripe culottes from River Island. The quality of these are amazing and sits higher on the waist, so if I were wanting to wear this with a crop that can be done.

MARCH LOOK INCREDIBLE BOX


I went ahead and purchased the Look Incredible box after reading a blog post. I've heard many great things about this box from other bloggers from the previous editions. The actual parcel box was big - a bit too big for the box, in terms of looks it's a bit like the Cohorted box but without the ribbon or the name engraved, it sports a sticky label instead with the brand name - it's just started out, so I guess it will improve but I never keep the boxes anyways.

MARCH BIRCHBOX


This month's Birchbox concept is 'Word Up' - to help 'us' find the ultimate discovery. I received 3 full fize products and 3 samples featuring products from haircare to make-up.

BLUE PATCHWORK


TOPSHOP SWEATER | ASOS RIDLEY JEANS | MICHAEL KORS BAG | TOPSHOP BOOTS
Instant love. The patchwork detail and fabric made me go back for the top the same day. It has that kind of scuba/neoprene feeling, which makes it really soft and retains warmth quite well. I felt I was channelling my inner Audrey Hepburn with my Quay Australia sunglasses that I am obsessed with. Not going to lie, it was a bit cold that day and it started snowing, so I'm glad I had my scarf on hand.

SPECTRUM COLLECTIONS 10 PIECE ESSENTIAL MAKE-UP BRUSH SET


These brushes are absolutely stunning, I can sit and stare at them all day. I received the Spectrum Collection Tapered Powder Brush in my February Birchbox, which I use to set my undereye concealer. It has extremely soft bristles which are suitable for my sensitive skin and does really good job of evenly distributing the powder under my eyes. I had some Birchbox points to spend before they expire and decided on this beautiful set.
