Stuff That I Wore and Bought!

Hey guys!

One of the reasons that I never do outfit posts is because I spend a lot of time at home these days and never wear anything particularly thrilling. However last weekend I went to England to visit my boyfriend and managed to take a few pictures of some of the things that I wore! I also took some photos of stuff that I picked up over there, mostly make-up. I wish we had as much choice with make-up here in Ireland, I was amazed at the variety of products that are available in England. MUA is my newest obsession, most of their items are only £1 and they're quite good quality! Amazing!!

Anyway, on to the photos!

The left is the full outfit and the right just shows my Star Trek t-shirt! Love that t-shirt...

I'm also wearing tights as arm-warmers, they ripped so I decided to put them to good use,
I blogged about them before, here.

I wore the above outfit to The British Museum. I felt the shirt and waistocat would be suitable for such a venture! The museum was amazing! I saw the Rosetta Stone in person and lots of other Ancient Egyptian artefacts, I am hugely interested in Ancient Egyptian history and culture so that was actually just so amazing! It was crazy to see this small slab amidst the huge sculptures and tablets and to know that without that stone we would know nothing about the culture. The whole exhibition wouldn't exist! I've wanted to go The British Museum since I was a young-un. Alas Brendan Fraser was nowhere to be found in the Egyptian exhibition. This saddened me.

And now just some photos of some things that I picked up over there.

MUA eyeshadows- £1 each. Can't go wrong!

The purple looks pink but it's quite purple in person, very vibrant!  

Since I'm so pale I have a hard time finding foundations to match my skin tone, the palest shades generally make me look slightly yellow or worse-orange!! My MAC studio fix in NC15 has a yellow tint to it so I wanted a white foundation to tone it down. I decided to go for an expensive option and bought Illamasqua Skin Base in white for £25. I didn't think I'd be anywhere that sold Stargazer foundation so I figured what the hell. Of course the very next day we happened across a shop which did sell Stargazer! Oh well, I'm extremely happy with the Skin Base.

The top shows the MAC on its own

The middle shows the Illamasqua on its own

The bottom shows the two mixed together!

(I'm still playing around with amounts but as you can see it really tones it down)

And last but not least, meet Cat-ula. He is fluffy and delightful. Oh yes. And only £4. Feckin bargain. The shop I rescued him from was playing really awful music. He was happy to leave! 

I hope you enjoyed the read/pictures!

Till next time my dears!
