Fifty Shades Of... Cobalt?

Another OOTD?! I know! Get me!

I wanted to post about this dress, which I love.. I've had so many compliments on it and the colour is so out of my comfort zone since I usually always wear dark colours! Cobalt seems to be a popular colour at the moment, and I was talked into getting this colour over the black one.. It pained me a little bit, but it's good to step outside of your comfort zone once in a while, no?

So, myself and some friends from work decided we were going to see Fifty Shades of Grey at the weekend and this was my outfit choice!

I am really liking the swing style tunic dress, great with tights or leggings... or if you're brave enough to bare your legs! I like how it just skims over my curves but doesn't look like a big baggy tent, which is what I used to live in.. Haha!

Movie Thoughts:

I know there are a ton of mixed feelings about it, and about the books, but I personally enjoyed the books. As for the film, I loved it, preferred it to the book and thought it was way better than I expected it to be. I liked the actors and how things were less cringy than the book was. The soundtrack was/is fabulous and I am obsessed with it! Also, the sex scenes were not overdone at all, tasteful I'd say, leaving things to the imagination.  Have you seen it?  Thoughts?

- The Face Essentials.

G'day!

This evening I wanted to talk about some of my most favourite face products. For me, these are essential staples that I feel like I need to have for my face when doing my makeup.

 

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion:

This one is a very long standing favourite of mine. I can remember when I first tried an eye primer (this one) and being so massively amazed at how it kept my eyeshadow in place all night and it didn't crease! My eyeshadow was always a creasy mess before I discovered eye primer. This one remains a favourite, I have tried others but nothing else seems to compare.

 

Sleek Brow Kit:

A fairly recent discovery, and a brow game changer from the first use. I love that it has a coloured wax and powder to set it with. It just works - well! I use the wax then the powder with a stiff angled brush, and it gives me somewhat decent looking brows... most of the time! Although brows are always my nemesis.. This just makes them a little less so.

 

Garnier Anti Dark Circle Roll On:

I've been using this one for years, since it came out (whenever that was!) It soothes and cools my undereyes, which is great on those early mornings. It's brightens and conceals and soothes all in one, a win-win-win! I couldn't be without it.

L'Oreal Nude Magique Eau De Tint*:

I got this one sent to me when it was first released. I remember anticipating it coming out here when everyone across the pond was talking about it. I wasn't sure it'd be for me because of how light people were saying it was, but I LOVE. This is a must have for me, it's so weightless, covers well and doesn't highlight dry patches or make my face an oily mess. My skin stays reasonable matte because of the powder finish. I have run out at the moment and I am itching to go and repurchase again!

L'Oreal Brow Artist Plumper:

I was very excited when cheaper drugstore brands started latching on to the tinted brow gel idea. I have a few, but I tend to reach for this one the most, I really like how the spoolie wand is teeny tiny, so a perfect size for your brows. It does add thickness to them too, and obviously colour.. Plus it's massive mascara size, so will last for ages!

OOTD | Floral Textured Swing Dress

I haven't done a great deal of outfit posts on here, and I want to change that, I keep taking pics and then being picky about whether I like them or not, so then I just don't bother. Not anymore though, I'm going to try and make more effort with showing some of what I've been wearing.

Today I wanted to show you my new favourite dress, the black and white rose print textured swing dress from Yours Clothing. This is so flattering for my body shape, because it fits best where I'm smaller (my top half) and then skims nicely over the parts that I am not so keen on showing off (them hips and that ass!).

I hope that the image does it justice.. I paired it with and without leggings, annnnd I prefer with because my legs are literally whiter than bottles of milk! *cringe* .. It'd look great with more tan legs (haha) or some opaque tights.

The fabric is nice and thick too, so it doesn't cling to places you don't want it too. It's similar to a scuba material, but it's textured, which just helps it to hang really nicely.

Apologies for the mirror selfies, but a girl's gotta do what she can to snap a photo! I need a larger mirror really.. It's on my to do list!
