From what I’ve read, Soho, London, is the place to be if you’re a food and fashion lover. (… *Raises hand.*) The chic district teems with tourists, stylish-looking patrons and media professionals marching to and from the office – and it’s also the destination of my fictional European birthday celebration.
For today’s Rimmel challenge, I’m dressed to the nine’s to celebrate my 27th (which, incidentally, I just did).
I have an odd obsession with this fun-and-flirty fringe skirt. I wear it all the time, and I’ve said this before, but every single time I step out the door in it, I transform into an obnoxious flamenco dancer… These hips don’t lie.
Since it’s a celebration kinda night (read: lots of champagne), I paired it with my most comfortable can-dance-in wedges, a leather Coach penny purse and sequin Rachel Zoe tunic. Even if it’s not your birthday, this type of get-up will bring out your inner shine and make you feel like the most confident girl in the room. And regardless, really, a girl should always reach for sequins.
*Wearing: Rachel Zoe sequin tunic, white blazer c/o Ann Taylor, Zara skirt, Coach legacy purse, Mai wedges c/o Pour La Victoire
The icing on the (cup)cake for tonight is my make-up. Treasure Hunt and Timeless Allure are my absolute favorite shades of Stay Glossy – even moreso when they’re worn together.
Since I wanted kissable lips to be the front-and-center of my look, I didn’t OD on dark eyeliner. Instead, I picked up a multi-dimensional eye palette and started with a pretty peach shadow as a base on my eyelids. To contour, I swept a darker mauve color into the crease, and I finished by brushing the softest color in my palette on my brow bones for a highlighting effect. Finally, to give my look a little extra oomph, I layered on the darkest mascara I could find.
Pop, fizz, clink. Ready!

you look gorgeous!
even if it’s glossy, this is a very vibrant color and it goes very well with this outfit.

Heyya! Yep I have tried The Glam’Eyes mascara. Infact, I just bouhgt it yesterday for a36.99 from London. =]I absolutely ? it!It is fabulous!The brush is amazing, so stylish and makes putting on mascara so much easier, and the end result is great too, really makes my lashes stand out more than my other Rimmel London extra super lash mascara!I got the pink one, not the blue waterproof one. =]And no, I don’t know any stores where you can by the new fragrance, but I’m guessing you can probably get it in any beauty shops like Macy’s or wherever they sell fragrances!Hope I helped!xXx=]
