Update on me

This is not a beauty or fashion related post its just a quick update really..
On the 7th of july I went to Wireless festival which is held in hyde park, london.
I had an amazing time, although standing up for over 14hours was not so good! but it was all worth it at the end when drake come on! *screams*
All in All I saw these acts;
Rita Ora, Example, Whiz Khalifa, Professor Green, Tulsia, Nicki Minaj and Drake.
There was other acts there but I wanted to stay at the main stage so i could make my way to the front for drake who was headlining so he played at the end.
There was also acts playing on the 8th like rihanna and jessie j.
But unfourtunely i was not able to get tickets for sunday..
Although I felt very sorry for Tulisa who was booed as she came on stage bless her..

The weather was horrible! but i guess i was expecting it, thats what you get in england haha.

Unfournetly as my phone is broken I didn't take any pictures! :( 
but i have one with me and my girls, so here's my outfit


Thats me on the far Left..
We all went for the same look, a white dress, a denim jacket and wellies.

Tess really followed the neon trend here, her dress is from maji and she's paired this lovely neon orange number with a lovely pair of colour block pair of heels and an alexandra Mcqueen clutch bag. I love her side plait too, very simple but elegant at the same time. Thumbs up for tess on this one.

High-street make up vs High brand make up.

I'm back!

I know I haven't posted in so so long and I'm reaaaally sorry. I've been abit stuck on idea's on what to do for my next blog post.. and this is what I came up with..
'high-street make-up vs High Brand make up'
Now, You've probably seen something like this before, when someone reviews/compares two make up items, one being high street and one being high brand. 
First of all i'd like to start off with a ramble,
something i hear quite alot is..
''the more you pay for something the better the quality''
and to some extent i do agree, but then again i do disagree..
If someone came up to me and asked if i could tell the difference between a £10 primark jumper and an Alexandra McQueen jumper i'm pretty sure everyone would be able to notice which one is better quaility. you don't have to have an A* in fashion for that one..
but i think make up is different, you could go into superdrug and buy a £6 blusher and then you could go to selfridges and buy a similar blusher that has a £30 price tag and without knowing which is which you probably wouldn't be able to tell them apart.
So why do we buy high brand make up if something the fraction of the price does the same job?
Well we buy 'luxury' make up because it makes us feel good, you instantly feel a million dollars when you apply that product that you spent a fortune on..
Every girl needs to treat herself now and again.
but lets face it we do not need them..

Yes, most highbrand make-up contains better quality ingredients.. but that doesn't necesserially mean its good.. no make up is 'good' for your skin.. But in saying this i would check what is in your make up, i.e i don't recommend buying a £2 foundation because that is most likely to break you out very very badly!

An Advantage of buying high brand make up is if your not satisfied with it you can return or exchange the item.. but with high-street this is not the case, if you don't like it.. tuff you have to live with it..

Don't always go for the pricey option just because its high branded if you can get it cheaper!

Series one of 'high-street make up vs high brand make up'' will be coming soon!
