MAC - Honey Love Lipstick (Review) + OOTD

I've always been a bit put off wearing a nude lipstick, I guess I wasn't to keen on how 'pale' the face can look (I'm normally a bright pink lip sotra' girl) 

Another problem I had with a nude lippy is because I have a warmer skin tone I always felt a nude lipstick can make me look washed out. 

However, I had heard good things about MACs Honey Love lipstick. 

Here's a picture of me wearing the lipstick ... 

But how do we find the perfect nude shade?

1) A way to find a good shade is to swatch the lipstick on your wrist just under your palm, the shade should be 1-2 shades darker then the shade of your palm. 

2) Beige tones can tend to wash the skin tone a lot, try a peach or pink toned lipstick which can give a warmer and brighter hint of color. 

3) Don't have a nude lipstick yet? SIMPLE ... Just use a concealer which is also a few shades darker than your skin color, before applying it apply a lip balm to smooth out the lips as a concealer can sometimes be drying (MAC's prep + prime is a favorite of mine.) 

ON ANOTHER NOTE : 

I did say in my previous post I would show you what I matched my beloved city bag with and here it is ... 

Please excuse the dirty mirror! 

My OOTD for my internship interview. New Look blazer, ASOS dress, New Look boots from ASOS, Zara office city bag with River Island watch. 

UPDATE - Haul & Interview.

Hi Guys!!

I've decided on doing these blog updates now and then when something interesting in my life is happening :) 

First of all ... since working in London's Knightsbridge, iv'e learnt to acquire a certain designer taste that I never knew existed.
  I am always drooling over ladies Hermes bags and CHANEL jewelery that I am so desperate to create a walk in wardrobe full of special gems!
But then I wake up and realize it's all but a distant dream ... 

One item I have had on my mind for a while now is the beautiful Prada Top Handle in Black. 
At whopping price of £1,250 I know it is most definitely a far away skin pinching dream. HOWEVER ... not all is lost in the world of bargain hunting. I found a Prada dupe that you may be aware of already. 

Introducing the ZARA Office City Bag, RRP: £49.99. (Free delivery with order over £50, so I ordered a cute headband for the summer too.)

It's smooth to the touch and gentle on the eye ... IM IN LOVE WITH IT. 
What's even more of an advantage is that I was unaware of the compartments inside, there are slots for your cards, a phone holder and a zipped pocket ... not to forget a whole compartment perfect for your laptop!

But the best news is yet to come ... 

Tomorrow (21/03/13) is a very important interview, with a very important company for a very important internship. I don't want to give much away just yet, however, I will be taking my beautiful city bag along with me. 

Keep in touch to see what i paired my city bag with and to find all the details on my interview.
