Love is in the Air

Last night I attended my cousin’s engagement party. Despite having had a long and exhausted week, I was excited to get out and party a little bit! So I thought I’d talk you through my outfit and makeup.

 

My denim jacket is from Jay Jays (you can find it here), my black dress is from Kmart (I couldn’t find a link, but I know it’s still available in my local store) and my red heels are from Target (they were on sale so I don’t know if they’d still be available.

I loved this outfit! The jacket was brand new, having just bought it that day, and the excuse to wear it was great. I felt like the outfit was an appropriate mix of dressy while not being over the top. This outfit also makes me feel super sexy, which is always a plus!

My makeup mess of the night features some of my old favourites, like my Australis Pressed Powder, Rimmel Scandaleyes Eye Shadow Stick and Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in ‘Temptation’, and new favourites like my RealTechniques Expert Face Brush and Chi Chi Fabulous & Flawless foundation.

The finished look was simple: flawless coverage, gold eyes and a red lip. The look lasted all night and even though I was eating I only had to reapply my lipstick once.

My perfume of the night was Christina Aguilera’s ‘Royal Desire’. This has been a favourite of mine for a long time!

 I brought with me my Kate Hill wallet with the essentials (phone, money, lipstick, ID) to go with the red accessory theme.

I had also wanted to paint my nails red, but the polish I bought was more of an orange-y red and I did a shotty job of painting them, so I took it off!

All in all it was a great night. I got to spend time with my family and my gorgeous boyfriend. I’m so excited for my cousin and his fiancee, they are so happy together and I’m such a sucker for a little bit of romance!

And to finish off, here are some oh so sexy, incredibly well lit selfies. Thanks for the read! x

 

 

 

Back to Uni – OOTD

Today was my first day of my second semester at University. After having 9 weeks off (that’s right, 9!!) I was actually kind of excited to go back. After struggling through my first semester, I now know what to expect; and feel like I have a much better perspective on how to handle these next 12 weeks. But that’s not what we’re here to talk about. I’m here to share with you my Outfit and Makeup of today.

I’m a big believer in being warm and comfortable not only at Uni, but in general. And since Melbourne is known for being unpredictable, I figured I better rug up! My one regret with today’s outfit was that I didn’t wear a scarf. And my neck certainly got cold!

Grey Coat (Size 10 – Jay Jays), Boyfriend Style Black T-shirt (Small – Jay Jays), Blue Skinny Jeans (Size 9 – Jay Jays), Boots (Size 10 – Kmart)

A side note: The fact that most of my clothes are from Jay Jays is because I work there, and I enjoy getting 50% off my clothes!

As far as make-up goes, I’m not one to leave the house without makeup on; but I tend to opt for a simple and classic look for University. Today my one disappointment was my eyeliner. It was the age old struggle: one eye looking fantastic, the other a hot mess. Sigh. There’s always tomorrow.

Mary Kay Foundation Primer, Chi Chi Fabulous and Flawless Foundation, Rimmel Hide The Blemish Concealer, Australis Pressed Powder, Australis Blush BFFs (Hotties & Secrets), Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil (Black Fever), Mary Kay Brow Definer Pencil (Blonde), Maybelline Color Tattoo (Bad to the Bronze), Chi Chi Bases Palette and Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick (Guest List).

Another side note: There’s no mascara here. If anyone is interested in a blog post as to why that is, let me know!

And that’s all for today! Any other Aussie’s start back today? Already I’m questioning why I was excited to go back haha.

Thanks for reading xx
