NOTD: Ciate Main Stage

Today's nails are one of my new favs!! I brought this earlier in the week and have been dying to try it out.

Ciate nail varnishes first came to my attention when I received the orange ( I think this was Speed Dial) in my July Glossy Box. (Click here to see my post on this) which I loved. The quality is really good, you could easily get away with one coat if you were in a rush.

I am not sure if any main stores stock Ciate as I have never seen them locally to me. I got mine from a beauty trade store but they are available online on the Ciate website.

Today I have one Ciate Main Stage varnish. It is deep fuchsia pink and perfect for getting in a summer mood!

Mulberry Autumn Winter 12

As you can't have failed to notice, this is London Fashion Week!! Yesterday was the turn of Mulberry to showcase the Autumn Winter Collection. I am a massive (almost obsessive!) fan of Mulberry! Luckily the show was streamed live on their website, so I got all dressed up and sat down in front of my TV to watch the show.


The main story from the show was the introduction to the Del Ray bag. Named after the girl of the moment Lana Del Ray. I have never wanted to be famous but if it means having a Mulberry bag named after me then sign me up!!

The bag reflects her style for vintage with a contemporary twist and I think the bag looks gorgeous! She attended the show with a bespoke white ostrich version. The bag will retail for around £795 and will come in a selection of colours.

The main theme of the show for me was cosy layers, the outfits featured big knits, big fur coats and aztec prints on clothes and bags. Colours haven't really changed from this winter but the show had a lot of golden/burnt browns and oranges.


These are my two fav looks. The first because I love the bag and the second for big hair coat!

I am off to start saving for my Mulberry bag!!

Nars Spring Summer Collection

I splashed out in Space NK on some goodies from the Nars Spring Summer 12 Collection!
 I had been looking at it for a few weeks as I have to pass the store everyday to get to work. However I was persuaded after watching Tanya Burr and FleurDeForce video on Spring Products.

I treated myself to:

Douche France Trio Eyeshadow, £33

Nars Douche France Eyeshadow Palette 

This palette has a light pink/almost white, a baby pink and a maroon colour in it. All 3 are matt and look great for a natural eye this summer. I have been using it almost everyday since I brought it, mixing it with my Naked Palette. The only negative I have is the pigment isn't as good as I had hoped, I have to build it up quite a bit to get the colour to real show.

I am so sorry this pic look really weird!!

Cactus Flower Cream Blush, £21

Ignore the silver flecks they fell off a brush I had near by :(

I LOVE this!!!!!!!! The colour looks really scary in the pan but on it looks amazing! You can use it lightly to give pinky/red glow to the cheek or use build up for a more dramatic effect.What doesn't show from the swatch and the pic is it has a shimmer to it which I like but others may not. Lastly it blends really well so if you do go bait OTT it is easy to fix. This is my new 'LOVE' item, this really has not left my cheeks, also it looks great as lip stain if you just want a little colour but without using any product.

Mexican Rose Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil, £17.50

Nars Mexican Rose

Ok I am going to be honest, I love the idea of this and I have worn it and got lots of comments about how great it looks but it scares me!! I think it is because I am used to nudes on my lips so anything bright I worry looks bait clown like but I am getting used to it. It looks more red in the flesh but it is a bright pink with a red undertone. I didn't think you really could get a gloss effect from a pencil but it it gives great gloss effect. The massive plus is the colour lasts!!! This is the first lip product where I have to physically wash my lips to get the colour off!

Pucker Up!!
