OOTD| Casual College Day

Hello Everyone, just a quick post to show you what I wore one day this week to college. The look is comfy, casual but also smart and appropriate.



Jeans- Topshop high waisted Joni Jeans (£36.00)

Heart Print Shirt- Topshop £38.00


I tied the shirt at the bottom for more of a casual look, and paired it with a classic pair of black skinny jeans.


To go with the outfit, I wanted a comfy classic pair of shoes, so I chose these small black boots from Newlook, with some cute frilly socks poking out. I also rolled the jeans up at the bottom to highlight the shoes and socks.

Black Suede Boots- Newlook £20.00

Frilly Socks- Topshop £4.00



             
I paired the outfit with a classic, chunky black and white bag. 

Bag- Topshop Sale £20.00

Delicate Pandora Ring

I was lucky enough to recieve the 'Delicate Heart Ring' in the sterling silver shade for valentines day from my lovely boyfriend of 3 years. The ring retails at a price of £35.00 and is stunning.

The ring is so classy and elegant looking, it can be paired with almost any outfit, causual or dressed up. The ring has a thin textured band with a small silver heart detail.

The ring has such a personal meaning to me that I feel blessed when I wear it. I find myself constantly staring at my hand and admiring the rings beauty.

For anyone who is strugling on what to get a close friend or family member for birthdays or chirtsmases, I would reccomend a Pandora Ring. They are such precious, sentimental gifts that can be keep for life and warn each day, personally I love mine and can not take it off!

A thin banded Pandora Ring is such a statment peice that will never go out of fashion and can mean so much to one person.

M.A.C Studio Fix Fluid Foundation Review

Whilst shopping a few weeks ago, I happened to stumble across a M.A.C store, and immediately I was drawn in by the beautiful display of make-up. For a little while I had been contemplating buying the M.A.C Studio Fix Fluid Foundation, so I asked the lady for a skin match test and that was it- I was immediately in love with the foundation, and so it came home with me!

The foundation has an SPF of 15 and is available in a wide range of colors, I purchased mine in the shade NC15. The foundation retails at a price of £21.50 and contains 1 fl oz. A reasonable price if you ask me!

The foundation is full coverage and gives a matte finish- perfect for those with combination to oily skin! Personally, my skin is fairly normal, although in the winter I do get a few dry patches around my nose and on my forehead, but before application of the foundation I applied a moisturiser and the dry patches were no longer visible!

(Before) 

I apply the foundation with my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush in order for the foundation to be evenly distributed, and worked into my skin flawlessly. The foundation covers all blemishes and imperfections and is great for evening out uneven skin tone or any redness that you may have, and it dries quickly leaving your skin feeling smooth as a baby's bottom! 

The foundation is very buildable and does not go cakey when applied over an area twice. The foundation is long wearing and with a little powder applied to my T-Zone I can wear this foundation for up to 10 hours- exactly what I need for a long day at college!

(After) 
The only negative point that I have to say about the foundation is that it does not come with a pump, so it can get very messy if you are just applying it from a wide nozzle. Fortunately you can buy a pump to go with the foundation that retails for £4.00, personally I think that this is essential! 

Overall, I think that this is a great product for anyone who is looking to spend a little more on a foundation, it gives a flawless airbrushed looking finish and covers any small or large imperfections. The Studio Fix Fluid is a great long lasting foundation- perfect for anyone who has a long day at work or school!
