Bang on trend :p

I am always on the lookout for these shell tops. They are so easy to incorporate into a word/weekend type scenario - with jeans, with trousers....it adds a bit of interest, is very easy to wear and in this one's case - with the colour blocking shizzle - would be described as "on trend".


Oh Lordy, if there is a term I despise more than "stuffies" or "eye pop" it would have to be "on trend" and it's many permutations..."bang on trend" is a an even more shocking offender. It's the stuff of lazy copywriters desperately trying to conjure up ways to make something seem current and cool so they resort to this banging metaphor again...and again...and again.... I suppose now that I have included it, I become the lazy copywriter :)


I am sure you have worked out by now that this is a pretty boring post...it's about a top. Yep, that's about it :)

Top: New Look (Link!)
Jeans: Hollister Laguna Super Skinny
Boots: (out of shot but the ASOS Aggie's...love!)
Blazer: Topshop (old)

To try and make this post semi-interesting I just wanted to talk about three of my favourite makeup products right now. I haven't included La Ligne de Chanel cake liner or Mythology shadow by MAC because we all know that they are old news by now...but here's Brit Wit Crememblush by MAC, Love lipgloss and Just Skin, both by Chantecaille.

Let's just all gather round to give Just Skin some praise.

Someone once @replied me on Twitter and said that Just Skin literally makes them weep with joy. This I understand.

My second tube (I was previously Wheat and now I am the colour Glow...which as a name I like even more) - this is the tinted moisturisers to beat all tinted moisturisers: and I have tried them all. I have been there with BB creams, Laura Mercier, By Terry and some cheaper versions. Nothing, and I repeat NOTHING gives your skin the coverage, glowy finish, longevity and plump finish that Just Skin does. It is magical....flattering, barely there and yet you know that it's doing something very special because normally you know your skin does not look that good.

It makes me want to go to Chantecaille and get a £1000000 makeover....because that's the only draw back. The price is high. It's about £50. Yep. And a tube lasts about 2 months - so that's a hefty outlay. But hey, it's my low/medium cover foundation/tinted product of choice and one I have kept using (albeit sparingly) for the last 6 months.

And after that I can say that Brit Wit gives your gorgeous light pink/nude/mauvey/scuplted cheeks and Love gloss is non-sticky, long lasting and a pretty subtle pink. It is also Angelina Jolie's lipgloss of choice.

So there you go!

Right! Enough waffling - I am off to watch True Blood (downloaded from here - link!)

Thanks for listening to me :)
