ULTRABROWS

So finally I've been able to get my hands on ULTRABROWS from makeup revolution. I've been wanting this in medium to dark shade for so long, I was getting a bit desperate when I was going into Superdrug twice a week ATLEAST looking for it! I didn't get it online though because apparently  they were sending out the lighter shades because the darker one had just totally sold out. BUT luckily on a wim I found the last one in my local Superdrug the other day and it was only £6! 


Amazingly simple packaging in my eyes with a cute little diagram of what's in it on the back! All good so far! 


A cute little shiny box all sleek and new looking! (Won't stay like that for long knowing me) but still amazing to look at! And looks more expensive than £6!!!



 

So what do you get for your £6 I hear you ask... 
Well.. 4 mixable eyebrow shades, 2 eyebrow fixing waxes, a highlighter powder, a highlighting fix wax, an eyebrow pencil, 2 brushes and a pair of tweezers..
AMAZING? I KNOW RIGHT! I was just as shocked, especially when you see the standard! cheap makeup can sometimes be diluted and less pigmented than some of the more expensive brands but as this brand does more 'dupe' items the quality in my eyes is just as good as the more expensive brands for just a lower more affordable price.


My eye brows do need shaping and sorting out but I couldn't wait to use it! And I haven't applied any filters to my images so you can see what it's actually like without everyone's friend Valencia! 




Bare in mind also this is the first time I've used this new thing so I'm
Still learning where everything goes and I am not a makeup expert I just like to buy it every now and again! So from 1 learning makeup enthusiast to another I hope you one this helpful! 
I do think it's definitely worth the money as I was doing research on other brow sets because I never thought I'd get this one and for the large range of prices the sets are SO SMALL! This palette is very pigmented and the brushes work a treat, the highlighter has a pink tinge to it which looks amazing with most eyeshadows so I would definitely recommend to everyone if you want to have a practice at eyebrow techniques and not paying a fortune!

A DAY OF AA AND COLOUR

[Two Piece - American Apparel (discontinued)]
[Sunglasses - Boohoo.com]
[Shoes - Topshop (SALE)]
[Lipstick - Makeup Revolution]


I've already done a post with this outfit a while ago but it does deserve more recognition as it is an amazing piece! Bought from AA in Leeds for my 20th in April I got it just in time but they only had size larges left. Fortunately it fit me better than I thought it would and it was the last one so I had to have it! and to top it off I couldn't resist wearing my boohoo cat eye sunglasses. I literally wear them every day with everything! 
Also sporting the miley buns which match the wall in this fab colourful area of derelict land! I thought this outfit would be a bit of fun and includes the very "IN" vertical stripes to make me look taller than the small 5'6 I actually am, also helped by the platform shoes from Topshop sale £15 which I love! (especially when I get an extra 10% off because I am a student!) 
I wanted my lipstick to match my shoes so as I don't have a bag so I used a dark vamp shade makeup revolution lipstick thats £1 from superdrug which is very close to the blackness of the shoes to fill up the look! 











I will be putting this outfit on my depop as I don't have room for it anymore. So if you wish to buy my depop is @annahodgson and there is lots of stuff on there to buy!

Thanks for reading 

PEACE XO

PROBABLY MORE T-SHIRT THAN DRESS....


[Top/Dress - Primark]
[Coatigan - The Ragged Preist]
[Sunglasses - Primark]
[Shoes - Topshop]
[Lipstick - Makeup Revolution]


 Not much colour to this outfit other than my hair, I wanted to try a change with my style and try an outfit without colour. I think this top would look great with some white culottes or shorts, with maybe some vertical stripes on. I thought it would go fab also with my king kong coatigan from The Ragged Priest! 




I like the fact its quite a greyscale outfit, until you get to my hair and get a woosh of colour which goes really well with they grey! Just shows that coloured hair can be more versatile than people initially think, you don't always have to be the worlds biggest colour palette!

I also have quite subtle makeup on with some DARK lippy which is great which the black coat to give a kind of gothy look. It could be called a stylish goth look but maybe not with the length of this dress..

I was also thinking that I could get wrapped up in this coatigan with a belt but enough so you could still see the top, I think that could be another way to wear it. Baring in mind I did get this top in a size 18 to make sure it would fit overlarge and something that I could maybe wear over a bikini and multi-use! Trying to get the most out of my clothes as usual!!







PEACE! XO

BOHO VIBES



[Top - H&M]
[Trousers - TKMAXX]
[Bag - Camden Market]
[Jacket - Primark]
[Sunglasses Primark]
[Lipstick - MUA]

I was feeling very boho for todays post, so I thought i'd drag my flares out and a nice little plain top. These flares I got from TKMAXX in Braunschweig in Germany for about €5 but they do also sell them in our TKMAXX for £5-£7 which I think is a great price even if you only get 4-5 wears out of them. They're high waisted and SUPER comfy I could sleep every night in them! 
My top is from H&M and is just a casual basic cropped cami top, was about £3 last summer, it is a bit small for me now as i've put the most weight on but for photographs it did perfectly. I didn't really want a busy/patterned top as I have this gorgeous tassle sleeveless jacket thing which was only £3 from primark! (most of my wardrobe is as i work there!) The cream/white of the top contrasts with the black/grey of the bottoms which I really like and then to add a bit of colour I have my trust camden boho bag! 
Ever in need of summer items, Camden is my place to go. I JUST LOVE! I am taking a trip there this weekend so I will try and so a short post about my time there and where I visit/what I buy! As everyone knows I will come back with a train full! but back to the bag.. It's so hard wearing and can carry a tonne, i'm sure it was about £3.99 I've never had a problem with it and i've had it for years! 

I also have in these photos my favourite Topshop shoes which have been mentioned on a few posts now if you want to read more about them and how I wear them day-to-day!

HOLOGRAPHIC ALIEN SKATER DRESS


[Dress - AliExpress]
[Sunglasses - Boohoo.com]
[Belt - Primark]
[Shoes - Topshop]

Loving this AA style holographic dress from AliExpress, it was about £4 I think but did take THE EARTH to get here! It sparkles really nice when the light catches it and I thought it went amazing with my hair. The dress is a tad short as it's Asian sizes and their sizes are a little smaller than UK, I would recommend though as it has two way wear, you can either cross it over at the front or the back, so like wearing it back to front and front to back really..

I did buy this dress for my holidays. but it didn't come in time but it's too sassy not to show off! Another thing is the fact that it blows up because it's so light weight so if you do get one, be careful and look out for the blistering winds! I felt like Marilyn Monroe during these photos, a blue haired more "fuller" one.  

I do really like getting stuff from Aliexpress because you can get some right bargains, but it's so hit and miss with what you get because of the different sizing and also the time it takes to arrive. Sometimes by the time it's here I don't even want it anymore then it just ends up on my depop which is a shame, but when you're constantly shopping online (totally addicted) then it's hard to just want 1 thing! 

My sunglasses are from the amazing boohoo.com and I love them loads they're like my new favourites! I've wanted cat eye sunglasses for ages but never knew if they would suit me, but I finally manned up and took the plunge and got some! and I love them whether they suit my face or not! 
And finally my shoes, I'm sure i've done another post about them somewhere if you want tot travel back in time down my feed, possibly the one with my king kong coatigan in.. but I do love them anyway these shoes, they make me tall, and I love tall.









PEACE X
