...I am not even sure what this post is really about so I don't have a suitable title for it...here's what is currently in my head:
Airport purchases
I am currently on a business trip for work which means a lot of schmoozing and a teeny bit of work. Tied into that equals a plane ride and a perusal round duty free at Gatwick.
So I picked up Underage lipgloss. Totally not necessary but I just like doing Underage okay?
Sounds wrong. As a colour, so right....
Pre-Cleanse is an oil make up remover that markets itself as being extremely thorough and non-irritating. I can't say how different it is from so many others out there except that it smells nice and is really expensive - 150ml for £24 odd quid? Ouch! After an initial outing on my face last night I have to say it works well....I don't begrudge the cost to be honest if it proves to work effectively. Fingers crossed!
OOTN
Not dressy but it was a casual dinner with one colleague and when you work in digital/design you can wear whatever the hell you like. Thank god.
This is a crap OOTN BTW but hey I had the DSLR and I wasn't afraid to use it :)
Jeans: Cheap Monday
Top: BikBok
Shoes: Acne
Jacket: Topshop leather jacket (one of my most cherished items evarrr)
In other news
My hair has decided to turn slightly mmm how do we say this? Warm toned? I can't say I hate it.
I will confess however that I embarked on a wee bleach bath a few weeks back - mixing shampoo and a little bleach powder/developer and placing on head for a few minutes - and this seems to be the result.
PS. Max Factor Masterpiece Max Mascara is the sh*t.
Roger that! :)

Then I remembered, pre-checkout that my beloved Liz Earle was resting in my bathroom - bloody hell/FFS I cursed to myself (and perhaps out-loud) but every oversight has a silver lining and in this case at least I can now say that I have tried Dermalogica Pre-Cleanse.

I can't help but hate you a bit for how long your hair has gotten - I'm still growing mine out from my "hey, if Rihanna can get away with it..." phase.
ReplyDeleteWore Underage today as well, was asked what I had on and lied rather than say the name. :L
@Lorraine - jesus it has taken me YEARS to get to this point...although I do get it cut quite a lot :)
ReplyDeletehaha on the Underage. I understand girl! Florabundance sounds so much more acceptable and thats what i often say :) xx
I have to say, I love the black on black on black ootn! This is what you can usually find me in on a daily basis. I can't help myself.
ReplyDeleteCrap? Nice try, but you're not fooling me. I dig that outfit, a lot actually. Beauty in simplicity or something along those lines.
ReplyDeleteAnd, frankly, I need those shoes in my life.
@Leah - I think people look their best when they are comfortable...although I do like the odd bit of colour too...:) love black on black :)
ReplyDeleteSorry that was @Nancy!
ReplyDelete@Leah - yes you need some Acne wedges...best. shoes. everrrrr!
Where you shopping for clothes when you took these pictures?
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous as usual....
@Elizabeth - now that would have been nice :) just hotel room mirror! x
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit Laura. Must buy those jeans! So glad you're back blogging!
ReplyDelete@Whitney - thank you :) glad to be back! although perhaps even slightly more random than before x :)
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit! What style tiffany necklace are you wearing? And I agree, even though it sounds a little inappropriate, Underage is the best :D
ReplyDelete@Kelly - i realised just before i saw your comment that you cannot even friggin see the necklace! it was just a key :) will take it out of outfit description...rather pointless :)
ReplyDeleteI wish my hair would grow as long as yours! It's just stopped, it won't grow at all! You look gorgeous as usual, and I absolutely love jacket, no wonder you cherish it.. it's bloody handsome :)
ReplyDeletexxxx

ReplyDeleteLove your outfit! It's great!
ReplyDeleteKisses from Hong Kong,

Vintage & Vanilla, Darling!
Ahhh, I think I need Underage in my life! Making a note of that for my next MAC trip... Loved this post and how it was about several topics! xxx
ReplyDeleteOoooo pretty Laura!! And cute outfit!<3
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks gorgeous that colour! :) I really like your outfit, at first glance I thought your shoes were Alexander McQueen!!!

ReplyDeleteyour eyelashes look amazing, they are huge :D
ReplyDeletewww.missmathful.blogspot.com
I love pre-cleanse. It's the best :D :D
ReplyDeleteYou rock black so well! Literally in love with that outfit! Also I agree with that mascara - definitely gonna have to pick up some of that!
ReplyDeleteLois xx
I can agree - max factor one is a rubbish. Try Estee Lauder one, is kind of ok.
ReplyDeleteLove this outfit :)
ReplyDeletelove the outfit and wow your lashes look massive! I deffo need to try get hold of that mascara ASAP! x
ReplyDeleteyour lashes look absolutely amazing!!!!!
ReplyDeletelol, good to hear that I'm not the only one ashamed to say certain names out loud. :) I just think there's something terribly wrong with telling cute little old ladies that come to your shop and ask about make-up that you're wearing "orgasm" on your cheeks...
ReplyDeleteYour lashes look amazing, btw. I was going to ask whether you were wearing falsies! Is that the MF in the black tube that has been out quite a while?
u look gorj ;)
ReplyDeleteI think you need a job as a stylist! Forget digital/design ;)
ReplyDeleteYour lashes look friggin' AMAZING in the last photo!!!
Gorgeous as usual Laura! I'm so glad you're back blogging!
ReplyDeleteI've just started a blog recently. Please take a look if you have the time! http://laura-1988.blogspot.com/
i love your writing style! thumbs up!!! xx
ReplyDeleteTotally love your outfit! It´s simple but so stylish! Will try to grab a leather jacket from topshop too when i am in London in 2 weeks ;)
ReplyDeleteBtw. the cheap monday jeans - how do they fit? Was thinking about to order them but not sure about the size.
Love your shoes and jeans, I used to have some Cheap Monday jeans but I have no idea what happened to them, may have to repurchase! I also need to try that mascara!
ReplyDeletethose shoes are amazing!!can i be a bit nosy and ask you more about the bleach/shampoo trick???how is it done?i really like your hair color,x
ReplyDeleteHad quite of a good laugh at this post! :)
ReplyDeleteI've used Precleanse in the past and it's really nice but I just found the smell a little too much too bear.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried the new MAC Cleanse Off Oil in the green bottle? It's amazing.
I am so happy to find you back here... I was missing you so much from your other blog ! YEAH for this blog ! Yeah for your hair, they are looking gorgeoussss !!
ReplyDeleteS.

You have no idea how jealous I am that you can pretty much wear whatever you want to work. I live for that day. I've had enough of the "business casual" work attire. Until that day comes, I'll just buck the system and wear my inappropriate shoe choices to work. It's my own little form of controlled rebellion.
ReplyDeleteI love your current style, and those wedges are GAH!!! WANT!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe you were in my city and I never knew. :( Hope you liked our little corner of the world..I <3 it.
had you dyed your hair previous to the little bleaching experiment? i dyed my hair a wee bit dark and this is very intriguing, i just don't want my hair to be splotchy.
ReplyDeleteAirport shopping is amazing, it just seems so much more exciting even when it's stuff you can buy at selfridges! Although they do have Victorias secret beauty products at Birmingham airport, I shamefully bought two bottles of perfume, a make up palette, a shower gel and two body lotions last time I was passing through! Love your acne shoes by the way!

Damm you Laura (shakes fist), you are one of those people who could probably wear a bin bag and still look so effortlessly stylish and pretty lol! Definitely not a crap outfit I love it especially the jacket can see why its one of your favorite items - I'm saving to hunt down the religion 'owain' leather jacket myself.....
ReplyDeletep.s I want your shoes :)

gorgeous outfit laura <3
ReplyDeleteLaura... Be honest. Are you wearing falsies and/or do you have eyelash extensions in that last pic? Surely the mascara alone could not have made them that full and long!??? If so... how many coats of and did you use a primer? Thks!!
ReplyDeletei didnt understand the comment about the MaxFactor mascara, is it good or bad? (sorry im from Mexico, and i speak english, but sometimes the expression conffuse me!!), If its good i have to try it!! its the waterproof or the regular? Miss you in youtube!!
ReplyDeleteYou look good in bloomin' everything Laura! :D
ReplyDeleteLove rambly posts like this one! :)
ReplyDeleteFab outfit-of-the-day and I'll be definitely following your recommendation on the Max Factor mascara, in fact I've been meaning to try it for some time now!
