recent acquisitions: floppy edition

Just messin' around wearing my ASOS Floppy Fedora

I mentioned a while ago that I bought this hat, and I can honestly say that I'm in love with it. I took it with me to Edinburgh and so many people complimented me on it, and I was even once stopped in the street to be asked about it! Unfortunately it's no longer on the website, but loads of places seem to be doing similar styles! You can't really see in the crappy webcam picture, but it's a camel colour with a black band which means it matches  90% of my wardrobe. WOOP.

Another recent acquisition is this lip colour, which is the Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain + Balm. It. Is. Amazing. I really like colour on lips but since I talk, drink, eat etc. I find it hard to wear lipstick/balm because I have to reapply every two seconds. So far, this Revlon Stuff has not budged. I put it on one night to test it at home, tried to take it off, and still woke up the next morning with the remains on! Amazing. The one I'm wearing is 'Flame', but I also have it in 'Frenzy'. For those in the UK it's also on offer at boots right now!

Ok, that's it for now. Tonight I'm going to test the lipstain further by eating lots of Thai food with my friends.
Apologies for the state of my room in the background (if you look really closely you can see the ASOS box my hat arrived in... ha).

red glitter

1: my own scan from vogue. 2/3/4: tumblr

I realise that I'm maybe a couple of seasons behind on this, but then I never have been one to quickly pick up a trend for the hell of it (it takes me a while to 'trust' the trend... ha). Anyway, I digress, recently I have had a mild fascination with red sparkle at the moment. Especially loving the idea of red glittery eyes. Anyone know what to use to do this? I tried to use some red stuff I had lying in my make-up box, but I'm not going to lie, it made me look ill because the glitter was no way near thick enough! There's also a good chance that I've had that makeup since I was 17 (what can I say... I'm a hoarder...).
