Top 5 Fridays

I don't like how quick these Friday's are coming around, it's going to be summer before I know it and I'll be sat in the summer sun, mojito in hand and pretending I'm on an episode of 90210! Until then this rain is making a point of letting me know I'm sat in the UK with a 14 hour shift ahead of me...brill! 

Until then, I have put my top 5 eye shadow pallets together for you all to have a read of! I'm a huge eye shadow fan and having so many colours in one pallet is like a dream for me so I have built up quite the collection over the last few years including drug store and higher end...

Drum roll please...

First up is my newest addition and its the MAC Pallet I recently ordered on line, it contains Sable, Satin Taupe and Nocturnal! The beauty of the MAC pallets is that you can chose the colours you want in them rather than getting generic colours which you'll never use and will end up sat in a cupboard for 2 years. I've fallen so in love with this that I've just ordered a larger 15X refill pallet! All the colours are really pigmented and have such a good colour pay off and the range they have in insane, you can pick from like hundreds of colours to your fancy! The only problem is they cost £10 for a pan refill which can be quite steep when your on a budget! 

Next up is the bloggers favourite, The Naked pallets! Naked 1 is my choice and I love the colours in there, my favourite colours are Buck, Toasted and Hustle! I love this pallet because it has a choice of shimmering and matte colours which is ideal for everyday and nights out. Again, the pigmentation of these is beautiful and they seem to last quite a long time.  

Next up, cheep and cheerful, SLEEK pallet in Storm I believe. The gold tones in this pallet are to die for and you can create such versatile looks from this one because of the array of colours and tones, similarly to the Naked pallet it contains shimmery and matte tones which is probably the first thing I look for in a pallet, and the colour pay off is amazing considering the price range in comparison to some of the higher end products!

Avon, I did feature this in my Avonderful post a while back but this is an 8-shadow pallet, again, another neutral pallet...I can't get enough! I bought this pallet specifically for the golden shimmery tones in it but the purple was one I just fell in love with, don't tell the other half! This is my favourite pallet for summer and with a tan, wow I just couldn't stop staring at my eyes, call me vain!!! 

finally, It's a pallet I wasn't expecting to like, it's from Collection 2000 and not to be snob or anything but it's not renowned for it's stunning shadows! but I'll eat my words with modesty!!! This is such a good pallet for a smoky eye, in fact some of the colours are nice and simple for the day time too! It's pigmentation is amazing for the price of it, you get good quality for the money! It doesn't last the longest,  but it did withstand a night of dancing and singing with only getting a few smudges here and there! I'm pretty sure I cried that night too so it deserves recognition, normally it's streaming down my face...note to self, avoid Tequila at all costs! 

Is there any pallets you guys would recommend trying? not to brag or anything but I won a £15 amazon voucher thats burning a hole in my pocket, I need things to buy, help a girl out eh!

The Met Ball 2015

I love love love writing these posts, they are by far my favourite thing to blog about because I love looking (in envy might I add) at all the gorg dresses and make-up and wishing that could be me on the red carpet, a girl can only dream. All the celebs looked beautiful and made such an effort but below are a few of my favourites...

My absolute woman crush everyday, the beaut RHW! Everything about Rosie is perfection in this picture. She wore a Champagne Atelier Versace Dress with a classy slit up the leg and beautifully detailed cut outs. Her hair is almost metro sexual, adding a touch of masculinity and the RHW signature red lip! She Took the crown in my opinion! Why am I not her? 

Reese Witherspoon is my spirit Animal so I couldn't not feature her in this Jason Wu Red Dress. The structure is my favourite thing about this dress, the frame around the chest makes it stand out. You can't go wrong in a LRD in my opinion and Reese always rocks it...And look at her legs! 

Kate Hudson looks like a golden goddess in this Michael Kors Ensemble, it slightly resembles her yellow dress in "how to lose a guy in 10 days" which, let's be honest, is goals. I love the high neck and she has the perfect bod to pull of this figure hugging, floor length gown. She kept is simple with limited accessories and a small, white clutch, in my opinion the styling was on point!  

Anne Hathaway turned heads with this Ralph Lauren hooded gown, personally it's not something I can pull off but I'm all for praising someone who can. She managed to make this possibly masculine ensemble feminine by keeping her make-up so elegant and natural and her hair simple and sleek. Plus, if it rains, she sorted! 

I love these 2, I love their family and if they could adopt me that would be great but just look at them! Need I say more? 

Candice Swanepoel made every girl jealous of her glowing skin on the red carpet, her fresh faced make-up and sleep up-do combined with flowers made her the talk of the ball! Her make-up is just stunning her, the subtle eyebrow and golden shadow make it almost effortless and I was certainly google-ing makeup tips and seeing her face! 

You might be surprised you didn't see Beyonce on here but I'm not going to lie, I hated it! I didn't like the cut-out, I thought it was very tacky and poorly done and the gems looked like something I wore when I was a tot, yeah it probably costs more than my house but I didn't like it! Opinions are opinions eh! 

What was your favourite outfit or look from that evening?

Ladies Day at Cheltenham is just round the corner and as someone who's dad taught her to bet at 5 years old, I'm pretty exited to say the least. River Island is my all-time favourite so I thought I'd combine the 2 to create my dream, and I use the term dream loosely as that's all it will ever be *sigh*. As it's Cheltenham and not Aintree it's best to keep things as classy as possible, I'm talking no thigh high skirts and tits on show unfortunately ladies. I thought I would stick with a LBD with a leathery twist, you can't go wrong with a black dress, classy and sophisticated. I teamed it with the a grey duster Jacket just in case the weather decides to be typically English on this particular day, along with that a white tote bag with gold lining, double straps of course, what else! heels and jewellery to match the gold theme along with a grey oversized hat and sunnies! I LOVE this look so I'm currently scowering the internet for cheap rip offs but nothing is even coming close...send help!
