Outfit of the Month – May

So I wanted to follow up from this post about my overall outfit I wore to a 21st birthday recently.

I bought my Hello Kitty lipstick with my post about it here and wanted to make it work with a deep blue dress. So here are all the items I bought shown separately:

I bought the dress from Ally Fashion for AU $39.99. I loved it as soon as I saw it! It is a velvet dress with blue glitter dots all over the dress. It’s polka dots meets velvet! When I bought the hello kitty lipstick I just knew I wanted to wear it with this dress! So, with that in mind I needed hot pink shoes for the whole outfit to come together.

So here is a picture of the whole outfit – excuse the picture as I cut out my friend and never got a picture taken of myself. Didn’t want to include my friend just in case. Also, I may look short because I crouched down to take the picture as I was so tall in those heels:

I accessorized with silver Jewellery. I wore a diamonte choker necklace which I believe cost around $40 from Diva – I bought it a few years ago so I really don’t remember. My earrings are from Lovisa and were on sale for $5. I kept my eye make-up simple with just black eye liner and mascara. My foundation was Bourjois Flower perfection blogged here and I used an Avon loose powder. I would let you know how much my clutch was but I can’t because it was a gift. I would say you can find clutches for approx. $40. Here is a close up of my make-up and accessories:

So overall, this outfit costs $85 for the shoes, $40 for the dress, $45 for accessories, $40 for the clutch = approx. $210 in total. You can probably do it for less if you get the accessories and clutch on sale.

I received many great compliments on the night and loved the outfit overall! It was great mixing deep blue with hot pink. It worked out so well!

Thanks for stopping by!

Revlon Colorburst Peony Pivoine

So, went shopping for my cats but found that the make-up stand always offer something valuable that catches my eye. This time I found a lot of promotion for Revlon’s Colorburst range with Emma Stone front lining the campaign.

I always look into the lipsticks and lipglosses because I love wearing these everyday! I didn’t want to go for any bright colours, so I found this Peony lipgloss that was soft pink with a nude tint and gold sparkles through it. The picture up top shows the slight glitter through it but not to worry as I took a pic of my lips for a closer view of what this looks like.

It is very light in shade when glided on your lips. I find that the gold glitter really shines through with this lipgloss. Because the actual shade blends in with your natural lip colour, the gold sparkles make your lips extra shiny. This lip gloss is also non-sticky and I do not get that gluggy feeling. I also feel that it is moisturizing at the same time.

This costs about AU$23 and can be bought from any pharmacy or beauty store. I can’t say I found it anywhere cheaper online because it can be found at your regular retailers. Found lots of reviews for it. I would probably going to your chemist/pharmacy outlets to see if they have this for cheap.

lipgloss is great for every day wear or for special occasions. Right now, I am wearing it with just simple make-up of black eye liner. Easy done! I even took pictures! It’s simple and sweet!
