If you follow me on Instagram, you probably would have noticed I've been on holiday!
Me and my boyfriend both had some time off so we booked a last minute getaway to Lanzarote! Neither of us had been there before, the weather is still okay this time of the year and it was the only place we could find suitable flights to, so we ended up going!
 
This beautiful chiffon maxi dress from Choies.com arrived the day before I left so I had to take it with me! I just wore it over my aztec H&M bikini as we were just lounging around on the terrace and doing a spot of sunbathing - can you not see my tan? lol jk I don't tan I just stay white :( haha

TRAPEZE BAG

 
 


 
 
 
Look what I received in the mail!
As much as I'd love to say it's a Celine bag I can't because it isn't, it's from Perunmall.
Normally, I'd rather poke out an eye than get a fake bag but I've seen a few other bloggers rocking this particular lookalike so that makes it acceptable, right? 
 
For example...
 

I love this outfit by Kavita D!
She got hers of ebay and looks amazing here - I love her JC's so much, I need some of those adding to my collection I think haha
 
I was really surprised at the quality of the bag when I received it, usually bags from China can be a little hit and miss but I would definitely recommend this one! A Celine Trapeze can cost thousands whereas this one is only a mere $60 and they also do it in different colours too so go grab one quick before they all go! :)

How beautiful is my AX Paris sequin dress?! I felt like a mermaid wearing it!
It's the perfect party dress as it's covered in sequins, both on the front and the back which I love as other cheaper sequin dresses tend to have plain black backs which I think looks a bit naff. The zip up the back is metal so it's strong and won't burst open if it's a little tight and your dancing around like a crazy person haha it also has shoulder pads which really adds definition and finishes the dress off beautifully.
I decided to wear it with some black tights, low boots and a jacket as I was only going out for a meal, I didn't want to look too dressed up. You could dress it up with a pair of killer heels for a night time party look!

PALE MAKE UP REVIEW


 
Whenever I go in Superdug I always end up buying more than what I go in for because of their 3 for 2 deals on cosmetics. I thought I'd try out a few new bits, so here's a quick review :)
 
 
#1
Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer
Shade - 1 Light
£4.19
 
 Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer 4g Fair 1
 
Okay, I love this concealer!
The main problem I have is finding one that's pale enough for my white face haha this is the lightest shade they do and the colour is perfect for me! It's go on beautifully, covers like a dream but doesn't go on to thick.
 
#2
MUA Beauty Balm
Shade - Light Rose
£4.00
 
MUA Beauty Balm Light Rose
 
This was only £4 so I thought I'd give it a try. There seems to be loads of BB creams around at the moment, they're not new though, I've been using them for YEARS! I got them all from Asia where they originate - mostly form China.
I gave this one a go as wasn't really that impressed. I think you can only really use them if you have flawless skin to start with as they don't offer the best coverage. I got the lightest shade but it was a little orange for me and didn't cover my terrible spotty face so I can't really give a fair review lol
 
#3
Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation
Shade - Light Porcelain 10
£6.99
 
 
The first thing I noticed about this foundation was the smell, it smells so nice!
I got the lightest shade and it was a good match for my skin, it's supposed to magically match the colour of your skin and it did. It's really light but does offer great coverage which I was really surprised at!
 
#4
Maybelline Fit Me Anti Shine Stick
Shade - Classic Ivory
£8.99
 
Maybelline Fit Me Anti Shine Stick Classic Ivory
 
I saw this on the TV so I thought I'd give it a go and I'm so glad I did!
It had a weird texture, like Dream Matte  Moose, very silky and air whipped but a bit more moist. It covers all your spots and imperfections, makes your skin look flawless but at the same time it looks really light. I got the lightest shade and it's a perfect match for my skin.
I would definitely recommend you try this if you use Dream Matte Mouse as it's has the same coverage but doesn't dry your skin out as much!
 
 
Sorry this was only a quick review, I might do a better one on the best pale make up if anyone is interested
