Violent Lip Ambassador & Supermarket Sweep!

MERCY. ME. It has been too long since I've posted! Weekly posts are on my hefty New Year's Resolution list I promise you! So as a premature start to the new year, here's a little video about the overwhelming joy of being made a Violent Lips Lip Ambassador and a supermarket sweep of cheap beauty buys to keep you looking just swell on a post-Christmas budget.

This is the Silver Glitterati on my friend TJ, the first pair of Violent Lips I applied on someone else!

Here are the names and prices of those products:
Tesco Soft & Smooth Cocoa Butter Body Lotion - £1
Tesco Cucumber/Sensitive Cleansing Wipes - currently £0.60/£0.95 a packet but they are often on special offer in store!
Aldi Lacura Concealer Pen - £3.59

Get buying you beauties, I will keep you updated on all things Violent Lips and I also hope to get that Sleek make-up video done soon too, so keep a look out!

a two-trend bargain!

This Summer's style era: the Seventies.
This Summer's most adorable pattern: polka dots.

Sometimes the most simple pairings can produce the best results: I have just become the excited owner of a pair of these amazing navy with white polka-dot palazzo pants by Florence & Fred at Tesco for £16!

F&F Spot Print Palazzo Trousers only £16 from Tesco!

Please believe me when I say that palazzo pants work for almost everyone:

• they lengthen the leg
• they can create volume and shape for straight up and down figures
• or they can slim down a larger leg (yay for me!!)
• plus the high-waisted, flat-front is great for people who aren't big on tummy-showing!

These super adorable palazzo pants combine the Seventies sensation, the palazzo pant with the cute polka-dot which is a favourite for Spring/Summer with fashion houses like MaxMara and Moschino. I'll be wearing them with a simple silk blouse, blocky suede platforms and lots of costume jewellery for an updated, eccentric look.
