Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer

I have been wanting to get my hands an Apocalips Lip Lacquer since alot of people have been giving them such high praise. I chose 101 Celestial which is a rose pink colour, when I first used this I thought they would not last because I find alot of lip gloss products fade so easily. This however changed my view, this particular shade is so pigmented and the thick texture of the lacquer means a little goes a long way, but still shows great colour. These lacquers come up as an almost matte finish which is lovely, as I'm not a big lover of overly shiny finishes. It also offers the moisturising element which lipsticks sometimes lack. This is just a bit more vibrant than my natural lip colour, so it makes it very wearable for both day and evening. I definitely think I may pick up another one of these as I think it is a range of six at the moment. These Rimmel Apocalips I think are a great dupe for the YSL Rouge Pur Couture Glossy Lip Stain, and at just a fraction of the price.

Topshop's Monochrome Must Haves!

 

Monochrome is a trend I absolutely love, whatever season. The contrast in colours is one which I think exudes class, meaning it is no surprise it was a key trend on the catwalks and has again hit the high street. I wanted to look at different shops and their takes on the monochrome trend, but found myself falling in love with so many pieces from Topshop. However, recently I have visited Primark and they have some very nice monochrome cardigans, which scream Chanel! This is a trend I think suits everyone.

1. Topshop White Stripe Pencil Skirt- The midi length dress and skirts are another trend I love at the moment. This pencil skirt hits both trends with the vertical monochrome stripes perfect for slimming the hips and lengthening legs. A lovely skirt which could be worn in the office, or with a simple black silk cami and heels for an evening out. 

2. Topshop Spot Cut-Out Crop Top- Crop Tops are another trend which are all over the highstreet at the moment. I love the polka dot print, and I think this would look lovely with a red lip. 

3. Topshop Mono Floral Playsuit- This playsuit is a lovely and more subtle take on the monochrome trend aa bold stripes may not be for everyone. I think the high neck on this playsuit it very elegant. Topshop have really excelled themselves with this playsuit and they also have a blazer of the same print. 

4. Topshop MILL Toecap Slippers- These shoes again are a great way to put a hint on monochrome into your outfit. The black trim on the shoes I think makes them look more expensive and could even be mistaken for Chanel. 

5. Topshop Knitted Slubby Crop Jumper- This jumper is a great way to put monochrome into your daytime wear. The blurred stripes show a softer approach to the monochrome trend. 

6. Topshop Dogtooth Phone Purse- Dogtooth is such a classic print, and these phone purses are a great idea. With room for both your phone and cards its a great small clutch or just daytime purse.
