Shooting for Silver - Olympic Special

So, this is the second instalment of my Olympic Special posts. This post is inspired by the Silver medal and will feature all things shining, sparkling and more importantly SILVER!!

Beauty:

Maybelline Colour Tattoo 'Eternal Silver' - £4.99 from Superdrug

I have one of the Colour Tattoos in 'Bad to the Bronze' and I really like it. 'Eternal Silver' would be the perfect base/primer for the MUA shadow below!

Make Up Academy Pearl Eyeshadow 'Shade 3' - £1.00 from Superdrug

I have two of these eyeshadows in 'Shade 6' and 'Shade 8'. The pigmentation is crazy good and they have a really buttery texture. They are also really good value for money at only £1 each!! I will be posting swatches and a review of the Immaculate Collection Palette tomorrow so keep a look out!

Mavala 'Sparkling Silver 5ml' - £3.50 from Beauty Bay

This polish looks super sparkly and shiny hence the name 'Sparkling Silver.' I also like that it is a small bottle because I have way too much nail polish and a small bottle might actually be used up!

Yves Saint Laurent Volupte Sheer Candy Lipstick '04' - £23.50 from House of Fraser

I have this lipstick and it is the perfect colour for Summer. It is (as the name suggests) a sheer balm-like lipstick but I like that occasionally. The packaging is so sleek and luxurious but the price tag is not quite so desirable.

Fashion & Accessories:

Lipsy Cutwork Dress - £29.00 from ASOS

This dress would be great for a night out. The shiny silver cutout detail looks almost tribal which is very on trend. I really like the overall look of this dress.

Mirror Ballerina Pumps - £19.99 from Zara

These shoes look very shiny! I think they might look good with skinny jeans or a dress of any colour really - apart from silver and maybe gold. They are good for tying an outfit together especially if you find it difficult to walk in heels like I do.

Jewelled Party Box Bag - £49.99 from Zara

This clutch is the perfect way to add some sparkle to an outfit. Perfect to carry your phone, cash, cards and any necessary makeup for an evening out. Isn't it so pretty and shiny!!

Marc by Marc Jacobs Bracelet Watch - £179 from Asos

This watch is really simple and would go perfectly with any outfit. I also love the rhinestones on the 'Marc'. They add some bling to this understated watch. Again, I would prefer it in rose gold but silver is so classic and I think everyone should own a silver and gold watch some day!

Hope you enjoyed this post and are looking forward to the post dedicated to bronze!

Thanks for reading. xoxo

Going for Gold - Olympic Special

I thought it would be fun to do a series of posts inspired by the London 2012 Olympics and the medals they are handing out (gold, silver and bronze). So, first off, lets start with some awesome gold beauty and fashion items!

Beauty:

Barry M 'Gold Foil Nail Effects' - Available from Superdrug for £3.99.
I have this polish in silver and it is opaque in just one coat. I think this would be the perfect gold polish to be sporting during the olympics.

Nails Inc 'The Medal Collection' - Available from ASOS for £15.50

Well, you can't get more perfect than this can you! This is also pretty good value as you get 3 full size Nails Inc polishes for £15.50 (£5.16 each). As you can tell by the name, this set was created in honour of the Olympics so it could be a souvenir or keepsake right?!?!

Urban Decay 'Half Baked' - Available from Beauty Bay for £14.00 

This eyeshadow is the perfect gold to sweep across your lids. It is perfect for Summer and for supporting whichever team you're routing for (Team GB!!) I have this in my Urban Decay 'Naked Palette' which I am reviewing and swatching in tomorrow's post!

MAC's 'Supernova Blush' - Available from MAC for £19.00 (limited edition)

I know it's not entirely gold but this blush has beautiful swirls of gold running through the hot pink. This looks absolutely amazing but I don't know if I can justify spending that much when I have too much makeup already... If you are thinking of picking this up, it is limited edition so better hurry!

Fashion & Accessories:

TFNC Sequin Prom Dress - Available from ASOS for £45.50 (on sale from £65)

This dress is so pretty. I'm not sure I could pull it off but it would look amazing on the right person! If I was to wear this, I would pair it with all black accessories.

Micheal Kors Gold Chronograph Watch - Available from ASOS for £199
If you fancy splurging on a gorgeous, classic watch then this MK watch is perfect. Personally, if I were to spend this much on a watch it would be the Rose Gold MK Watch because it is so pretty!!

River Island Gold Glitter Platform Heels - Available from ASOS for £31.50
These gold heels would look amazing with a little black dress! They would add just the right amount of glitz and glamour to an outfit. They only have a limited number of sizes left so get in there quick!

Hope you liked my take on GOLD coloured pretty things!! Stay tuned for silver - that will be up soon - after my Naked Palette Review & Swatches!

Thanks for reading. xoxo
