Belt- American Apparel 

Topshop have a great sale at the moment, I managed to pick this dress up for £15 which is an absolute bargain considering it's from their Boutique range. I wouldn't have gone for it if it was expensive but with a price that cheap how can I resist. It's a dark floral printed pattern and matched my boots really well. I wore it for a night out in Manchester, wanted a casual outfit so this was perfect. I teamed the dress with fishnet tights and chunky boots. 

Routine...

I hate wearing too much makeup in the day, purely for the reason that I like to look like I have made the effort on a night out. Therefore I keep my eyes subtle and just use mascara. The one must I continue with my everyday makeup is my eyebrows. I feel naked without them. Sometimes I go a little far and look kind of scouse but I like to have bold brows.
My foundation is Illamasque, I bought it a while ago and I will be buying it time and time again. It's a little on the expensive side but it is without a doubt the best foundation I have ever used. It stays where its meant to and is a great coverage. I use the base powder of the same brand over my foundation to set it in place. Bronzer is the Matte Bronze from Mac, it gives a lovely bronzed look without the added shimmer. I can't stand it when bronzer has glitter and shimmer in it, I think it looks so cheap and nasty. The blusher today is Benefits, Georgia, however I usually use Dandelion. Dandelion is a nice pink tone with an added bit of shimmer, not too much so it sits really well on the cheek.

As for the eyes, today I have Rimmel scandalous mascarra on and the brows are drawn in with the Rimmel mid brow pencil. I love the eyebrow pencil from Rimmel I have used  all sorts from Mac to Bobbi Brown but whilst high end is amazing for my face, it just didn't compare to the highstreet brand for eyebrows.

Peachy

I recently got given some of the Benefit, Georgia blusher. Apparently it would suit my pale skin. I don't quite know how i feel about it. The colour is kind of peach but it looks more like a setting powder than a blusher. I t does sit nice on the cheek but doesn't really enhance anything. The colour is far too light to make any type of statement but sometimes this is what you want. i do really like the pearly tones that run through it, kind of like a powder with shimmer so it does stand out a little on my cheek. Definatley more of a day wear type of colour as opposed to night time.

Glasses- Ebay

My glasses have finally arrived! I'm in love with them and don't care if I look a tiny bit pretentious by wearing them out. Today after a whole week of working nights I finally dressed normally and put makeup on. It felt so good to be back to myself and I finally feel like me again, a little tired though.

Me and my friend did go out for cocktails, however we were both shattered so a night out turned into arriving home at 12. We only made it out for 2 hours but who cares at least I now have a life. Its been a really nice day here in Manchester, unfortunately I managed to sleep through most of it after becoming nocturnal. So I decided to embrace the warm weather in a dress and sandals. The dress an Urban Outfitters sale bargain. Only cost me £10. I have had to wait till the sun comes out to wear it but at £10 who cares. It's bright colours cheer me up, the reds and oranges running through it compliment pale skin. Something I am a beholder of. With this sun though I may take up sunbeds to set off a tan. The shoes are wrap round sandals all the way from Zara in Cannes. They are last season but viewing the summer collections of Zara they have some really similar stuff coming through. If not similar there are some better ones there.

Rimmel...

Who can resist a good offer? Not me in Superdrug at the moment if you spend £10 you get a free mascara. Considering I was already there to buy some nail polish, thought I would add a bit of lippy. I wanted some duck blue nail polish for a while and then I noticed there was a matching glitter so went for that too. I went a little over £10 by adding some appocolyps gloss. It's kind of like a glossy lipstick, so figured it would look a bit fresher than a block colour. As for the mascara it's ok, I can understand why it's on offer but it does make my lashes look natural. Not scandalous as it claims.

Cesty....

So this week I have been working through the night and sleeping all day. I now have the right to say working in retail is not an easy job. 9pm till 7am are not the kind of hours you want to be in work but I have to say it was kind of fun. A little bit. I decided as I was feeling so glum to paint my nails bright, opposing my mood. This cesty orange is from Barry M. I thought it was just a matte colour but it has a bit of shimmer to it. So I am not too keen on the colour. It is a bit odd having shimmering orange nails, they kind of remind me of a goldfish. As for the Barry M brand the colours are plenty and it's cheap and cheerful. Cheap being the prime word, the colours never seem to stick for long and it easily chips. It stays fresh for the first night and then looks tacky for days after, but in reality this is true of most nail polishes.

Update

Sorry guys, I know I haven't had an outfit date for a few days now but I am working through the night. I have literally not got out of leggings all week, I don't mean the fashionable kind I mean the plain ill fitting kind. Therefore I thought it unnecessary to put a photograph of me in a sorry state with an even more state of an outfit on here.

I don't want you all to think I hate leggings, I just find them quite boring. I think patterned ones are great and I am still undecided on the leather ones. I am more of a jeans and trousers type of girl.

Don't worry though I shall be back over the weekend with some great outfits for you to see and love.

For now though I have to go, got to hit the gym before another 9-6. That's the life...
