Sister Vibes | OOTD

My Sister and I are very close so I thought why not do a blog post with her because she is very into her fashion too, today was very warm however now it's a little later in the evening it's got a tiny bit windy! 

 Top - Primark 
Leggings - New Look 
Shoes - Primark 

 Top - New Look 
Gilet - Thrift/second hand 
Leather Trousers - Forever 21 
Shoes - H&M 
Sunglasses - Primark



 I absolutely love layering textures so I feel the fur gilet goes really well with the leather trousers and plain striped top and it's still keeping to the monochrome feel that I like!




 I really hope you enjoyed this post!

New Thangs OOTD

I have wanted a bomber style jacket for so long now but it took me so long to find the perfect one, then I was in Topshop and came across 3 that I loved in there, all the same but different colours: black, navy and khaki, obviously I didn't want to get them all so it did take me a while to chose which one I wanted originally I went to buy the black one however I thought to myself "no izzy you have too much black buy something with a little more colour" so the khaki one seemed like the next best option so I went for that one and now I am so glad, I feel like it really compliments my eyes and hair colour well, I feel Cara Delevigne vibes when I am wearing it too, I love it so much!

 Jacket - Topshop 
Top - New Look 
Jeans - Topshop
Sandals - H&M 
Sunglasses - Primark 

I then decided I wanted to treat myself to new pair of summer shoes, I've wanted to invest in some birkenstocks for at least a year now, I remember when I was working at Schuh last summer I was lusting over them so badly and was tempted to buy them with my discount however I wasn't sure if they suited my style or they will look good because I have weird feet and it takes a lot for me to get those bad boys out! So this year I thought 'Screw it' I'm gonna do it, I didn't want to jump straight in the deep end though so I found some really nice dupes from H&M and I love them so much, they are so comfy and go with literally everything and I have been wearing them to death and they were only £14.99 which is a fraction of the price of birkenstocks, I am deep in love with these sandals! 



Hope you enjoyed this post!

My Beautiful Sisters Wedding

Weddings are probably one of my favourite family get together's! Apart from the recurring "how's college?" "What are your plans for after college?" I absolutely love them. The best wedding I have been to was definitely my sisters it was absolute perfection from the venue, to the food and to her dress. It had a slight vintage theme with glass cola bottles and blue and white and pink and white stripey straws to sip them through I thought it was the perfect touch. 


 There cake was absolutely gorgeous and totally original it was covered with loads of white chocolate thing sticks and white chocolate balls and white ribbon I thought it suited the wedding so much and looked so elegant and beautiful. 


 These heels are probably my absolute favourite heels, I love them so much I can't walk in stiletto style heels so I have to wear wedges and these ones are chunky and this beautiful blue colour and I got them in the New Look sale! 




 Hope you enjoyed this post!

Foundation & Concealer Duo | Mac

So,  I think I may have found my holy grail foundation and concealer, these being the Mac Pro Long wear concealer and the Mac Studio Fix foundation, I can't tell you how much I love both of these products. 

I feel with concealer I need a very heavy duty one, a high coverage that'll cover my horrendous under eye dark circles, I feel that this concealer does this exactly. It's a medium to full coverage and I believe this because you can really build it. I would say be careful with it though because if you use a lot it can start to look cakey however a little goes a long way. It's a matte finish, so don't worry about the under eyes appearing oily the matte finish helps to counteract this. After setting it with powder it stays on for the whole day, I'm not sure I agree with the whole 15 hour hypothesis as I haven't ever worn it for that long but it has stayed on for the whole time I have worn it and I haven't ever had any creasing problems. Lastly, this also doubles up as a pretty good foundation, now I don't put this all over my face if I'm using it as a foundation but if I'm only feeling like a little bit of make-up I usually just put this under my eyes and on any other spots and blemishes and I'm good to go. 

The foundation I use is the Studio Fix Fluid and I love the formula so much. Firstly it's very very long wearing I wear it all day and it lasts and I still feel like it looks fresh like I've just applied it. It's very very build-able and gives me the matte finish which is definitely my favourite finish with foundations. The shade is so perfect, I find it so hard to find a shade that matches my skin but this one is perfect, it's in shade nc15 which is the best match. I love that it gives a flawless appearance to the skin and doesn't cling to my patches of dry skin like other foundations have done it's literally perfect. 

To beginners it may seem like they're a little expensive, yes they are, however with Mac products  I feel they last a very long time so I can justify spending my money on them and they are amazing quality. In this picture I used both products and I feel my base is flawless.

Let me know any dupes to these products, or your favourite Mac products?
