M.A.C Cosmetics All About Orange Collection

Hi warriors. As a true M.A.C fan I was quite excited when I heard about the new M.A.C Collection All About Orange collection. Immediately I knew I had to go see the collection for myself in a store so off I went. The promotional image and introduction for the collection is shown below.

'Orange. Its vibrant energy and modern edge ignites fashion and beauty big time in Korea, Asia and the world. It’s one of the new global super shades that pops with sizzle and cool sophistication. M•A•C loves a colour with international impact and has translated the trend into a makeup collection for face, lips and nails. From Nail Lacquer in Sweet Pop to sizzling Tangerine Dream Lipstick – it’s an homage to orange.'

As soon as I entered the store i knew I had to tell Zoella from her blog zoella.co.uk as a good follower of hers from the beginning from when her blog was called Schoee and now her youtube channel, she loves orange lipsticks. As soon as i saw the colour 'Tart and Trendy' I knew I had to send her a tweet! My twitter is @mystylewarrior feel free to follow and tweet me! 

Other than this i found most of the colours were quite plain and easily replicable, especially the nail polishes and blush! However one more item which caught my eye was the eyeshadow palette 'Rainy Season' which wasn't orange !

Unlike most eyeshadow quads which come out with new collection 3 out of the 4 colours are new and I couldn't think of any similar colours to them. The four colour are as follow

*Artic Grey

*Courtly Grey

*Typographic (permanent)

*Rainy Season

My favourite colour form this quad was the Courtly Grey as it is a cool matte colour and its very hard to find such a colour which isn't very chalky in consistency. This colour would be very useful to blend edges which creating a smokey eye or even to smudge out black kohl eyeliner. 

However out for the whole collection, the key ones to look out for would definitely be the lipstick and the eyeshadow quad mentioned above. However i feel most make-up addicts may pass upon the quad as grey colours are easily found elsewhere.

Overall I was very impressed with the collection and thought the promotional image was much better than previous ones as the image itself its too cluttered which is always nice. I may return to get the lipstick but other than that , the collection is a pass for me.

Did you get anything form this collection? Let me know in a comment below.

001 - If money was no object

Back again with another post . I've decided to create a series of posts which will be published once a week . This series will contain up to six items I would immediately own if money was no object. The rules for this series are simple, you cannot cannot repeat an item into another list. Seems simple, but once you've got your eyes set on purchasing one item, this series proves difficult!

Without further ado...

Here is my very first list!

 Due to finishing a-levels I finally get to relax and the outfits i wear should be no exception. This simple style would be perfect for festivals if you are attending any this year in the UK as I believe the first starts next week! So if money was no object i would run to topshop and buy this outfit I put together.

1) This rolled sleeve tee's topshop have in at the moment are uber comfortable , i already have one in a jade green colour, hence i would love to expand the collection of colours. Grey isnt a colour i would associate with the bright sun of summer however when i pair this with acid wash shorts and bright glasses, this outfit stands out.

2)This tribal ring is a typical choice for me.For one it is silver, I personally love wearing silver jewellery on the hands when you have a tan. Two it has such intricate detailing which will add an edge to any outfit.Little tip to stop this from giving you a green finger which most jewellery does after awhile, if you paint the inside of the ring with a layer of clear nail varnish, you'll avoid this!

3)I love the colour of the lens of these glasses. WIll make your world look very blue, reminds me of the song by Eiffel 65- Im Blue.This was my favourite song from my childhood which admittedly i still have on my itunes playlist!

4)Again i love the simplicity of this pendant necklace , with the silver and blue colouring. This against the grey will stand out and add another focal point to the outfit away from the glasses.

5) Acid wash jeans seem to be a re-occuring trend for summer outfits,this particular pair aren't too over done and will act as a staple piece in my summer wardrobe...once i buy them!

6)This year the style of sandals have been re-vamped, as most high-street pair have a slight platform to them which acts as a modest heel which is perfect for the transition from beach to bar, which i will be undertaking on holiday this year!

As you can tell all of these pieces are from Topshop.At this time of year i go through a phase of buying my whole wardrobe from a single store.This year will be no exception!

What would be your six items you would purchase right now if money was no object?! Love to hear from you , leave a comment below if you have enjoyed this post.
If you want to do this series yourself i tag all of you. Let me know if you do this in a comment below and I will give it a look. Until next time

freedom at last

yes.....I have finally finished my education, well a-levels anyway. that one word 'alevel' in the past to years had brought tears to my eyes,excitement,pure fear and hope.If you have undertaken this you will understand my emotions towards this word. Before someone asks i took the following a-levels , Chemnistry,Biology,History and Business Studies ! Finally it is all over , all the hard work had been put to the test with my last exam being on the 20th June. Due to these exams the revision became paramount over my blog so apologies for that , but the good news is that I have no more exams so I can never use them as an excuse. Now I have the long wait to get my final results for , which is always fun....waiting to know your fate. As i'm not the most patient person I will be posting regularly to fill my time and to re-involve myself into the blogging community. 

Due to the exams finally being over forever at my boarding school we had a 'blow-out' day , which consisted of a foam pit and a neon party with all the extras.The party was long-awaited and was definitely worth all the hard work! Here are some admittedly horrid photos from the night.

showing the different colours of the neon paint.

subtle mug shot.

True to form got absolutely soaked in the foam pit, word of advice if you're ever going to go into one of these, don't get the foam in your eyes or your mouth. Seems relatively like common sense but when everyone dancing that becomes quite hard with the foam guns hitting you from two directions. The soap doesn't taste too good and does make your eyes tingle, which isn't great for contact wearers like myself. After-a-while the appeal of being drenched from head to toe wore off and I decided to go get ready for the club tropicana. Luckily I had some spare neon glow face paint from a previous holiday in greece so I got to use this and do the typical festival spots on my face. The difference being with mine they glowed and came up as different colours in different lighting conditions. This left all my friends in awe which made the night more fun for all. Unfortunately I have no idea where these were from as technically they belong to my older sister ... I wont tell if you don't!

Have you ever been to parties like this, let me know in the comments below. Sorry for this rambly post but I felt an update to my life was needed to re-start this blog again. 

Happy Summer
