Purple Lips : Introduction

Purple lips have been a big hit lately, I've seen countless celebrities rocking it, from Little Mix's Perrie to Katy Perry and, of course, Lorde.
I  think Purple can look amazing on everyone as long as you go for a shade that suits your skin tone and your overall colouring. It's a nice change from those nudes, reds and pinks that we all go for and it can really make you stand out from the crowd.
My first tip to wearing ANY colour is feeling comfortable, you need to feel good in what you wear, whether that be clothing or make up wise. When your comfortable you elude confidence which makes you look just that much better and of course feel better.

Throughout this week I'll be posting 4 different looks that feature a Purple lip; A subtle purple glossed lip, A Pinky/Purple lip (for those of you not 100 percent confident going all out), A Metallic deep Purple, and finally, A full on Blue toned Purple matte lip.
So keep a look out for those throughout the week.

Here are some quick tips to remember when wearing Purple Lips;

- If your purple lipstick/gloss is more of a blue toned or dark purple it can sometimes make you look a little washed out or dead looking so make sure you liven up your face and add some subtle warmth unless of course your working towards achieving that 'death' look .
- You don't have to wear neutral colours on your eyes, you can rock other colours when wearing a purple lip, it's all about experimentation and seeing what looks good.
- I do recommend wearing a Lip Liner when wearing Purple Lipstick due to the fact that it can bleed around the edges and since it is a statement lip we want to keep it looking nice and neat. (you can wear a nude lip liner if you don't have a purple lip liner)
- Make sure to conceal your under eye circles well as the Purple can really highlight the blue and purple tones under there.
- Have fun experimenting!

Disney's The Lion King Musical - Outfit of the Day

Hi guys!
Welcome to my very first outfit of the day!
I was a bit hesitant posting outfits of the day as I don't think I really have a certain style or anything but since I went to the theatre today with my best friend and her family to watch 'The Lion King' musical, I decided why not?

Now I don't know about you but at least when I've gone to a theatre before (Capitol Theatre in Sydney) people tend to dress a bit nicer, not super fancy but no jeans, so I opted for a nice dress with some tights and boots! Casual yet nice which I think is perfect especially since the weather is being so bipolar as of late.

I'm in love with this dress, they have it in black with different coloured flowers as well but the red one just caught my attention, especially with the blue flower!
I really like the cut of this dress and the sleeves are ruffled which looks really feminine and pretty.


Dress: Kmart 
Tights: Kmart
Boots: Big W

I'm absoloutly in love with these boots, Big W is selling some really nice ankle boots for $10 so if you have one near you go check them out! Great Autumn/Winter must haves.

I was really fortunate to go to watch 'The Lion King' musical, I had really wanted to go but couldn't get tickets, they were pretty pricey. I absolutely love musicals and have been addicted since watching 'Wicked' while I was in high school, so when my best friend messaged me to let me know she had an extra tickets and if I'd like to come I obviously said Yes! Yes, Yes, YES! haha

That being said, I'd like to thank her once again for taking me! thank you chummy!

Let me tell you now, this musical was AMAZING, the entire set up was wonderful, the cast was super talented and amazing and with all the stage props and changes you could really see how hard they all worked. I was thoroughly entertained and I really wish I could watch it again. If you get the chance, please go watch it, you won't regret it.
