Pastel Grunge




Pastel Perks


Velvet Playsuit - Topshop £45 (sale £20)
Pastel Grunge Jacket - Topshop £?
Chunky Biker Boots - New Look £35 (sale £25)
Frilly Socks - Ebay £2.50
90's Elastic Choker - Ebay £1.50




This is my take on a black velvet Playsuit. The Playsuit is so comfortable and is such a versatile piece. Today I wore it with this statement pastel bomber jacket from Topshop, but you can easily make this look more casual (by casual I mean socially acceptable) by dressing it down. 



For my face I've done a neutral eye with a dark lip (Revlon's Dark Cherry) and added rhinestones to show my inner mermaid 


Thanks to my Witch friend Hatti for all the lovely photos of me




You can never be overdressed

TOP 3 VAMPY LIPSTICKS FOR BEGINNERS (HIGH STREET)

Hello!

Today, I thought I would share my top 3 high street lipsticks to achieve the perfect 'vampy' lip and give you there MAC Dupes too!

(Warning, these lipsticks are my own and very well loved so may not be in the most pristine condition . Sorrrrry)

Many people think that they can't pull off such a dark statement lip, and don't want to fork out ££ to try out some lipsticks they may never wear, so I've put together my top 3 high street ones that won't break the bank, and will suit anyone and will flatter all completions too!




NUMBER 1 - THE STARTER
RIMMEL'S #107 (WINE) 





I've chosen Rimmel's #107 for my starter because it's such a lovely colour, It's the perfect vampy lipstick that isn't TOO crazy, it's still a beautiful red with just a hint of darkness to make the perfect statement lip of you're not ready to go all out dark yet!
 It's the perfect wine shade to go with any complexion and you can pick one up for no more than £4! Perfect.

Rimmel's #107 Wine is also a Dupe for MAC's DIVA





NUMBER 2 - THE MIDDLE
REVLON'S SUPER LUSTROUS #477 (DARK CHERRY)




Right, so now we want something abit deeper right?
Next I've decided that Revlon's  #477 Dark Cherry is the second on my list, this product is my favorite of the lot! It's my go to dark lip! Revlon lipsticks are a bit more expensive than the Rimmel ones at maybe £7.50 a lipstick, but they're worth it! When Dark Cherry's swatches it looks like it has a brown hue to it, but don't be deceived! It's so beautiful on, and not as dark as it looks in the lipstick bullet.

NUMBER 3 - THE SHOW STOPPER
RIMMEL'S KATE LASTING FINISH #004 (ROSSETTO)


Right, so now you want a amazing vampy lipstick? look no further! This is a such an amazing lipstick for a high street brand! It's such a unusual colour! Rossetto is a beautiful cool toned dark purple, for a magnificent dark vampy lip, a true show stopper for around £4. What a beauty.

So there you have it! my Top 3 Vampy Lipsticks for beginners that wont break the bank, I hope this helped.
