Sooooo

Hotly anticipated and although a bittova anticlimax cos I arrive into work bright eyed and bushy tailed to see the new make up that they've been pushing for the past month and I spy a puny stand hidden away in the basement. Anyways, finally got a proper look after my shift finished and had an aul play (filths) with all the lovely things. First impressions? Mega cheap and not in a bad way. Like, I got a crayon-thing that's pretty much a dead ringer for MAC shadesticks for something like €7.50 (cos the topshop discount applies to the makeup, niiiice) and the pigmentation on it is amazing (see in in action here). Lovely proper gold, and I'm a firm believer in the 'it's difficult to fuck up gold and shit-tons of black eyeliner' on the eyes front. Skilled at maquillage I am not, but this seems to have been working out ok for me. Anyway, I think the strong point here is the coloured stuff as the tinted moisturiser felt kinda nasty and although I've not trialled it yet myself I remain suspicious of the mascara. Also excited to try the powder highlighter cos if it works like I hope it'll be kinda like a powdery version of Benefit's highbeam which, obvi, I love but doesn't always blend so good over my powdery top layer of make up.

I love when we get new canvas bags

In other news I seem to have in my possession a pair of hareem pants. I'm not sure how this happened, whether it's purely a result of being surrounded by them for 3 months solid or if they are, in fact, actually nice? I'll trial them and see how many catcalls I get on the way to school, always a joy when cycling to the library.

Discount designer duds

SO i know you've run outta sweet tiny things to wear and with LFW around the corner you're totes freaking out, riiight?
Never fear, topshop and Christopher Kane got your back.
With the collaboration launching tomorrow you can get in on the action for (deep breath) 'round abouts €100-€250 for a dress.
Which, ya know considering the actual dresses retail at upwards a grand, ain't so bad.
Anyways due to my ever so privileged postition atop the rungs of the retail ladder I've tried some of it on today and in my humble opinion the lace one shoulder is the winner (and only hundred and fourteen bones)
I'll be partaking anyways.
There's free stickers to be had too, just like primary school but for growd ups.

Uniform

One of the perks of working where I do means I'm not forced to wear summat gross into work, once in a while I get three things 60% off (used to be 75, baxtards).
Annnyways, I've got two out of the three so far and I think they're preeeetttty.



p.s can you tell it's been a nothing day?

I'm seeing alot of sweet things in my future

And, in direct correlation to this, very little money for food and other non essentials.
Tease yourself here.

Heads Up

Topshop sale starts tomorrow morning officially, pants have been down since Tuesday though.
Heavy discounting in anyways, over 50% in some cases (i know, right?!).
Most of Babs, Reko and Kate Moss.
And some nice dresses, just watch out for women with the crazed look in their eyes. Won't hesitate to cut a bitch down for sure.

Pssst!

Topshop Sale starts tomorrow,

our indie contact says that underwear is the first thing to be reduced
