Loving: Red Wine Lips




My Picks:







"You see these red wine lips? I didn't dream of this" - Lisa Mitchell (sorry, I can't help of think or this song whenever I put the words 'red wine lips' together!)

Looking for a cheap and simple way to get 'on trend' for this autumn/winter? You need to look no further than a slick of red wine coloured lippy. It was a major player in many of the Fall collections in the northern hemisphere and now has finally made its way down under just in time for winter! I scoured Priceline the other week looking for the perfect colour whilst taking notes on my iPhone so I could rehash them here. I ended up purchasing the L'Oreal lipstick because I was after a more matte finish. It was my first time delving into the 'long lasting' lipstick world and despite the glossy ads and bold claims, the L'Oreal Infallible isn't quite as 'infallible' as it makes out to be. The Revlon colour was really nice but had a glossy finish to it, again I was after something a bit more matte. I have since bought a nice natural pinky coloured lipstick from their ColorStay Ultimate Suede (why such long names?!) collection that I am enjoying for a day to day addition to my simple makeup routine. Other notable mentions include this Rimmel one and this Models Prefer one.

Just a tip for your red wine lips: make sure your base is flawless and your eyes are simple to reap the maximum rewards for this lovely statement lip.

Loving: Bunting







I think I'm a bit late to the party with this bunting trend... but better late than never, right? I saw a picture of some pretty bunting on Pinterest earlier in the week and haven't been able to get it out of my mind since.There is something so fun and free about it; it reminds me of festivals and all the sweet things that accompany them like adventures, balmy early evenings, fairy floss, coloured ride tickets and rollercoaster romance. I'm now on the hunt for the perfect pattern and colour combinations for my room!
