Beauty | Eye Liner Pens

Eye Liners are a make-up bag essentially that emerged from Egyptian Culture and became popular in 1920s. They are a great way to define the eyes and in recent years they come in a variety of forms, from Pencil to Liquid.

Personally for me, eyeliners are very tricky because they take a very steady, delicate have to apply them (and I unstable hands )

However, after discovering Eye liner pens, I feel that I can now wear them with ease.

For that reason, I have decided to compile a list of the Eye Liner Pens available on the market.

First up, is the Bobbi Brown felt tip which allows you to achieve various looks ranging from the winged look to a more intense dark look.
Bobbi Brown Felt Tip Liner - £18.50

Next is the Gosh Intense Eyeliner pen available at Superdrug from March.This felt tip eyeliner pen allows you to create an intense look perfect for the party look and is available in Black, Brown, Green, Purple, Blue and Grey.
GOSH Intense Eye Liner Pen - £6.49


Another Intense eye liner pen which is perfect for the party look is these Barry M ones which are available in Black, Blue, Aqua, Emerald, Pink Grey and many more.
Barry M Intense Eye Liner - £3.99

LFW Day 2 | What I Wore

After suffering on day one of LFW, my outfit on day two was all about comfort (Well except from the shoes) I have this new obsession with wide-leg trouser/ Palazzo pants ( or what ever you call them) so for day two I went for this Zara one which was ultra comfortable.

I didn't really do much on this day. I went to the Jasper Conran show which started off with a Champagne reception then the show started at 11am. It was a great show! He really stay true to his inspiration and signature look which is timeless British style.
                         It was a Saturday so all I wanted to do was stay in bed so after the show I popped into the MAC media lounge then went home!

Outfit | TOWIB

Most bloggers by now have heard about the backlash from Saturday's TOWIB event, where there case of he said she said and lots of opinion sharing but hey on a lighter note, I just wanted to share what I wore and the amazing necklace I have on.

Personally, I enjoyed the event, it was the TOWIB event I attended and enjoyed it for networking purposes  but hey not every one can be pleased "C'est la vie''.

My Saturdays are normally spent cooking and cleaning or basically just being lazy so deciding what to wear to this event when the weather was like -1 outside was extremely hard but I managed to put the below together.

The necklace was inspired by Shirley aka Meek-n-Mild (blogger.com) aka ShirleybEniang (youtube)

White Shirt: H&M
Black Riding Pants: H&M
Brown Wedges: New Look
Shopper Bag: Zara

Here is the lovely Shirley's tutorial on how to do the 'scarf necklace look'


What do you think? Would be sporting the scarf to necklace look?

Happy Sunday

I warned you all last week ( Tangerine Twist  ) that the colour Orange is a trend that is set to fill up my wardrobe by summer and here I am again with another orange outfit. I love how bright and bold it is and the fact that not everyone likes it. I wore this to church and before you ask no, I am not cold. The past two times I have 'Orange' outfits have been all black so the orange pop. As the weather gets warmer, I will be going for other colours and orange. 

Blazer: H&M
Black Top: Prirmak
High Waisted Wide LEg Trousers: Zara
Pointy Black Shoe: Primark
Shopper Bag: Zara


What is you favourite colours? and How would you style the colour orange?

Recreated: Jameela Jamil Elle Style Awards 2011

Prints and Floral were a big red carpet trend at last year's Elle Style Awards and Jameela Jamil was one of the many Celebs sporting this trend on the night.
I love the fact that her look simple yet chic.
The printed dress works well with the nude accessories with neutral make up and bold bright lips.
To create this look, I have chosen the following from next.co.uk.
Firstly, I chose this Watercolour Print Dress from Next because the print is very similar to the one Jameela is wearing. 
Next Watercolour Print Dress - £65.00
I really like the shoes that Jameela is wearing but I wouldn't pair it with such a dress. The shoes I have chosen for the Chosen next dress above is a Nude T - Bar platform court shoes.
Next Nude T - Bar platform court shoes - £35
Box bags are all the rage this season so to go with the above to pull the outfit together, I have chosen this Lace boxy bag
No outfit is every complete without the right beauty products.
Model Own Nail Polish set £20 from Next.co.uk

Models Own Eye Make kit £15

Models Own Nude Lipstick £6 from next


Daisy by Marc Jacobs Eau de  Parfum £50


And that is it!
