Fierce Find: Kardashian Kollection for Lipsy

Kardashian fans get yourselves straight to lipsy.co.uk or you'll be missing out! Remember their Kollection with Dorothy Perkins and the sheer excitement of running into the store, and your eyes darting from one gorgeous garment to the next? Are you ready for that again! Released yesterday this Kollection is absolutely stunning.

It features 58 products ranging from leather look dresses to cropped feather jackets. To sum this collection up in one word - glamorous. There's an array of bright dresses for every occasion, pencil skirts fit for sauntering into the office and cute chained camis for the evening. You are not out of options with this Kollection!

The most exciting part of this Kollection is something that has never been added before - a jewelry line! It features earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings - each with a shimmer, a sparkle and a statement! The jewelry ranges from £12-£35 so as a pay-day treat or a Christmas present enjoy this Kollection. Here is my favourite jewelry piece from the Kollection

'Kardashian Statement Necklace' £35

Here are my top 3 picks from the whole range...

Kardashian Caviar Bead Bodycon Dress £55

I adore this dress for so many reasons. The first is the intricate bead detailing, isn't it just stunning? The geometric patterns are gorgeous and the shimmery effect is beautiful. I adore the shape of this dress, the bodycon shape is so flattering and it shows of Kardashian style curves which is gorgeous, I also really love the sweetheart neckline as it so feminine and pretty. My favourite touch to this dress is the sheer detailing around the neckline and the sleeves, it's got such a flirty but sweet feel to it that I love. Team this with a simple clutch and nude heels for a elegant night out look. 

Kardashian Chain Cami £30

I adore this delicate little cami, isn't it just the sweetest thing? The rounded neckline is so simple and illuminates the chain detailing beautifully. The black colour is so flattering to any body shape and the loose-fitted shape makes it so versatile and easy to wear. You could wear this piece with almost anything - dark jeans for a casual look, slipped into a pencil skirt for a more formal look or thrown over a pair of leather trousers for a gorgeous night out outfit. 

Kardashian Cropped Tux Jacket £75

The monochrome look is how I would define my style and this jacket would be perfect for that. The crisp white colour is gorgeous and could work with a huge number of garments. The cut is very beautiful, it's cropped which adds a more modern feel to it and the slick cut makes it very chic. Throw this over a white shift dress to perfect the all white look this season of team with a black blouse and black pencil skirt for a gorgeously formal outfit.

The Kardashian Kollection for Lipsy was designed with British girls in mind. The sisters think that British girls have an interesting way of dressing and are inspired by that, check out their interview with Lipsy here. Overall this is an absolutely gorgeous collection and I can't wait to get my hands on some items and review them!

Bargain Buy: Miss sporty nail polishes

Very recently I obtained a nail varnish obsession, and not for any nail varnish but for Miss Sporty nail polish! I bought one around a year ago it was a French manicure one in shade 07 however I was unsatisfied and never bought any more from their range until I was looking through voussontbeauetbelle's video's on You Tube and I noticed that she bought the 'Pop Fiction' colour and she gave it a really good review. She said it stayed on for around a week without chipping, the colour was gorgeous and she got lots of compliments about her nails. 

I decided to try out this nail polish so I went to super drug and saw that the nail polishes were only £1.99, that sounded so cheap I wasn't sure if the nail polish really was that great but I bought 'Pop Fiction'  and decided to try it out. I totally agree with Becca (voussontbeauetbelle) the colour is gorgeous, it's so bright and looks gorgeous. It lasted around 5 days which for £1.99 is amazing! It removes easily which I find can be an issue with some nail polishes, so far I haven't found a fault with this polish.

I loved 'Pop Fiction' so much i bought more colours including 'Popcorn' 'Coral gum' 'Green Lemon' and 'Grape fit'  

      

My favourite out of these four has to be 'Grape fit' the pastel shade is so on trend for Spring/Summer and it looks gorgeous along with the 'Pop Fiction' colour, I'm wearing both right now and they look gorgeous! Also 'Popcorn' and 'Coral gum' are also a brilliant combination together and look very bright and summery which I love. For £1.99 each you can't go wrong, they're bright colours, on trend, long lasting with a shiny, luxurious finish. 

I kept talking about these nail polishes so my boyfriend bought me some more colours to add to me fast growing collection, he bought me shades 'Raindrop' and 'Intimately' from the lasting colour collection and the 'Clubbing Colours Disco Tech Top Coat' 'Intimately' is a burgundy shade which I adore and I have worn countless times, the colour is bright and fun and also very edgy. I also trialled 'Raindrop' which is a dark green, almost navy tone, its a very A/W shade I feel. Finally my favourite the 'Clubbing Colours Disco Tech Top Coat' I thought this was an average topcoat, however it has a purpley hint to it, so when you put it over the top of a painted nail it alters the colour slightly I adore the colour it turns 'Raindrop'  

My advice is to get to your closest Superdrug store and pick up as many Miss Sporty nail polishes as you can carry because they're superb, for £1.99 and a huge range of colours Miss Sporty deserve some kind of reward for these nail polishes!

Must see product range: Revlon PhotoReady

As a make-up junkie the thing most important to me is a flawless base for gorgeous new styles of make-up. I am constantly on the hunt for the perfect foundation to give me a smooth, even base that doesn't look cakey or orange, but natural with a hint of photo-shopped perfection that is within budget. Revlon may have made that hunt a success with their new PhotoReady range...

Revlon PhotoReady Face Perfecting Primer - £11.99

The first step in creating the perfect base is to use a primer, this sets a fresh base to apply your make-up and keeps it on longer. Revlon's PhotoReady primer smooth and softens skin to create the perfect canvas. It also reduces the appearance of pores and fine lines.

Revlon PhotoReady Airbrush Mousse Foundation - £12.99

The next step is a layer of foundation to create an even finish. This mousse formula foundation contains 'photochromatic pigments' that are supposed to minimise the appearance of flaws for a smooth poreless look. It comes in a range of 8 colours so you can find your perfect shade.

Revlon PhotoReady Eye Primer & Brightener - £9.99

The final step in creating a flawless base is the eye primer and brightener which can be used anywhere on the face for an instant pick-me-up. It brightens areas of the skin which gives you a glowing look.

I am hoping to purchase these products soon so I can see for myself what these products are like and put them to the test and see if the truly give a PhotoReady look

New beauty trend alert: bold eyeliner

An exciting new beauty trend is happening all over the UK; bold eyeliner!

Whether its a unique liquid liner look or a bold colour swept across the upper lash line everyone is rocking this brand new trend, here are some ways people have made the trend work for them...



I love the clash here of the thick electric blue line swept across the upper lash line and the jewel toned purple thinly lining the lower lash line, it looks gorgeous. This will really make your eyes pop on a night out and shows your creative and experimental side whilst still enabling you to look drop dead gorgeous!



This is very bold but elegant liquid liner look, the thick black eye liner would look gorgeous with an airbrush finish base and very natural lip colour. This look is bound to make a statement and will make your eyes appear bigger due to the definition this look will create by giving the illusion your eyes are bigger because of the flick that extends beyond your eye.



This layered look is amazing! Obviously not for every occasion but this look could be toned down for a more wearable look by using just two colours layered up or even one line that includes three colours alongside each other. However this look here is very on trend due to the bright clashing colours layered up. I also love the green liner on the lower lash line, this again could on it's own be an amazing take on the new trend.



This look is also becoming more and more popular, the double winged liner look. The model looks so elegant here and the double winged liner appears so gentle and girly, not a very subtle look and should not be used for casual occasions but for a formal event it would look stunning. This look is amazing with neutral cheeks and lips as seen above in the picture.



Again here is a double winged liner look however here it is more interesting with a less defined line and a shimmery gold shadow accenting the brow bone and swept across the lid. This could be worn on a formal occasion for an 'all-eyes-on-me look.'



This take on the trend is not extremely common and quite hard to achieve but is amazing all the same. I would describe this look a 'doodle liner' because of the added decoration and doodles to the eye. This look always has an average sweep of black, liquid liner that extends further than normal and then consists of any type of doodle which is usually an explosion of swirled lines extending from the average line. Hearts also appear to be a reoccurring idea with this trend.



This is quite a simple take on the trend and more suited for a casual occasion, one sweep of colour along the lower lash line and bold lashes. I will be experimenting with this take on the trend myself with the neon yellow eyeliner from models own, this would look amazing. I love how the colour used in this picture compliments the models eye colour.



This is another bold eyeliner look, the eyeliner here is very angular. It angles in at the inner corner of the eye and sweeps across the whole lid, it then angles out in a thick point just past the outer corner of the eye and finishes by sweeping back under the eye along the lower lash line. Again this take on the trend is not for a casual look and also not for those who are not confident enough to rock bold make-up looks, the model in this picture wears her hair in an up-do so the eyes are the main focus which is a good idea with this look.




Finally this picture shows a sweep of black liner along the upper lash line and then a thick line of yellow layered above it, this looks amazing but if you are recreating this look it is important to use bold colours as weak colours could wash you out. I also really love this look as it simple to do and looks gorgeous as long as the lines are straight and defined.

Overall this trend is quite bold and courageous, however there are takes on the trend suitable for people who are not as brave at experimenting with bright colours and new ideas, so practise a few ideas and rock this new trend!
