PAINT THE TOWN RED

HOWSIT HANGING? Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. A few days ago my lovely friend Lily had a bunch of us unruly people over at hers and we hit the town. Surprisingly, for someone my age I don't go clubbing that much. I just did a lot of clubbing here when I was 17 that I'm bored of the night life my city has to offer. I love cocktails so going out for evening drinks/nibbles is always right up my street, however this time I kicked my granny slippers off and I decided to party!
I find that the summer is a time where I experiment a bit with different things (makeup/ food/ clothes/ getting lost on explorations) because I always feel that bit more adventurous in the summer, don't ask why! This month has seen me try out red lipstick more. I bought a lovely one from Mac called ''MAC Red'' (post here) which I wore a couple of times before I finally chickened out...well if Mac thought that was the end of it then Mac picked on the wrong bitch. I took the lipstick by the horns and went all out by pairing my white Marilyn Monroe style dress with big red smackers and curled hair. It was probably a case of:

Sorry Amy, I did like you...

Here's a few photos to show how the makeup/hair turned out.

''Mac Red'' and 17 ''Pink Ice''

HEY FOLKS! THIS POST IS ALL ABOUT LIPS! I havn't got much red lipstick, I'm quite scared of it frankly. However I think it's one of those things you can actually layer with glosses and make a bit more subtle, so I went and purchased Mac Red, a favourtie with blondes like me apparently ;) One of my faaaavourite lipglosses which I've been obsessed with over the years is Boots 17 lipgloss in ''Pink Ice''. My boyfriend used to tell me off for carrying it around the house with me all the time haha. It's a beautiful pale pink with blue undertones (check me out, getting all technical!) and I just love it. The following swatches are a bit rubbish because they were taken in the evening under crappy lights but it gives you the idea.

Excuse my HIDEOUS teeth, they're wonky because I was naughty and slacked with my retainer after having braces, quite shameful really. Worth mentioning that in certain lights this lipstick actually comes up slightly pinkish, but in a good way.
