Hennes and Mauritz's Innocent Lip-gloss

Nude lipgloss


Smells like candyfloss and provides and non sticky sheen to my lips, oh how much this H&M lip-gloss has become a staple in my makeup bag.  I cannot describe how much I hate overly sticky lip-gloss; with the exception of NYX’s Megashine range or Sally Hansen’s Carmindy line, I haven’t come across a range that doesn’t act like a magnet for my hair or random bits of food when worn.  Thankfully this gloss adds a nice sheen to my lips when paired with MAC’s Fresh Brew for my current nude lip look of choice and as such, was deserving of being featured on a post of its own.

Trouser Snake - H&M

Hello there



 As a plus size lady I find buying trousers to be a chore and so had to post this picure of my recent purchase in H&M.


For those of you who didn't know H&M have a plus size range in a few of their stores under the banner B:B, Big is Beautiful, now I don't always agree with this as some of the H&M clothes in this line are down right offensive to my fashion conscious sensibilities. I often find myself wanting to write a letter to cuss out the 'designer' who created the shapeless monstrosities that one can usually find in this collection- shapeless T-shirts anyone?

These trousers however, were bang on point. The cut meant that they stopped dead on my ankle and wasn't too baggy around the bottom or thigh. Result.
H&M Peg trousers


Oversized jumper- Primark
White wife beater (just showing) - Peacocks
Pointed courts are in a snake-skinned pattern- primark.
Bag - Zara
I had on dark blue denim jeans from Evans before trying on the trousers.

H&M C'est Chic Eye Shadows



Hi
Whilst shopping in H&M I tend to look through their beauty dept as they have an excellent nail colour selection, a few months ago I was fortunate enough to stumble across this lovely eye shadow set called "C'est Chic" and loved the colours it contained. The slate colour really drew me in as I have been looking for a replacement for a liner I had lost from Bare Esentuals; the rest kinda fell into line.



The colours:
1. Is a light brown which I use all over my lid when doing a brown smokey eye.
2. Pearlised light pink colour - used for highlighting under brow or inner corners, not my fave as
    kinda talcy on me :(
3. An excellent red / burgundy colour that I use my lids when I want to look bangin.
4. Slate grey-blue colour that I absolutely adore. Use as an allover when going out raving with
    additional  support from Sleek's Bad Gal palette or as a liner on both the top an bottom of my eyes.
   This allows my dark eyes to pop and creates even more drama - love it!

I'm sure it's still available in stores and I know the next time I'm in H&M  I will pick up another.

I have provided a swatch on the back of my hand for you to get an idea. Let me know what surprises you've come across in a high street store beauty wise.

Love and Peace
