Currently Crushin'

First up is a nice new pair of high waisted shorts. For me, no where really does shorts as well as Topshop do. These beauties are a 'not so bad' £28, so they won't break the bank. I have seen them in store and the colour is spot on! With the sun (ever so slightly) peaking through the clouds, I think a nice pair of high waisted wonders is just the thing I need to pair with my multiple amounts of jersey tops.

Next is another Topshop 'must have' for me. A fancy necklace.
This little gem comes in at £25 which, admittedly, isn't the cheapest from the high street. However, I do think Topshop jewellery has a nice quality to it and in my experience, lasts very well.
I really like the bolted affect, chunk of silver and gold at the front mixed with the black rope-like collar.
I have a similar necklace to this from ASOS by a brand called "Pieces' and I love it. So I know this bolted beauty would be worth the money as I would get my wear out of it.

Also on my wish list is this Velvet Waterproof Eyeliner by Daniel Sandler.
I have seen it used in the Pixiwoo sister's videos before and it looked fantastic. It looked super black and it's water proof!
I have definitely been leaning more towards eyeliner these last few weeks. Khols, gels, liquids, you name it - there is one in my makeup bag. But with the 'warmer' weather approaching (we wish)  it would be nice to have the confidence that when I apply my eyeliner, I won't have to check on it later. So this is a 'must try' for me.
I found this on ASOS as well so that'll be 10% student discount to all of us lucky Uni geeks out there!

Something else on the "I like buying stuff" list? Oh yes, and it's another one of my current favourites. A neon jumper.
I have heard that some people are a little sick of neon, I was one of these people myself. But I saw the light when I picked up a gorgeous bright Orange knit in Topshop not too long ago. Thus, sparking a little bit of an obsession...
None the less I saw this jumper in a video of Lucy's (her blog link > here) and knew I had to have it.
It's the perfect 'limey' neon yellow colour and I NEED it!

This next month coming I plan to start driving lessons! So that's where I am going to be spending most of my money for now. So there aren't many things I am lusting after (where there is normally a list a mile long).

What's on your wish list?

MAC - Embrace Me Lipliner








Browsing the Spring Summer beauty trends online, as you do, I stumbled across this image for Giles SS 2013.

Immediately the bright lip caught my eye. I was fixed.


After a good half an hour travelling all over the internet I discovered this bold lip to be MAC's Embrace Me Lip Pencil.
This pencil is described on the MAC website as a "Vivid pinkish fuchsia" which I would totally agree.
It can be muted down and rubbed into the lips with a finger or brush once applied or you can just go for it (which is normally my choice of option).
This pencil was limited edition in a quite recent collection as I managed to nab mine from Debenhams whilst they were having their 15% off sale! (BARGAIN)
However, don't fear! It has just been released with the MAC Fashion Sets Collection, along with a lipstick, nail polish, eyeshadow and lip glass to match.
I would definitely recommend this pencil, although a little drying, apply a lip balm or lip primer first and a little gloss or lip balm after and your set for the day with little to no touch ups.

Definitely a staple colour for Spring and Summer!

You can buy Embrace Me > here But hurry whilst the collections out!
