Gift Givin: His and Hers
Hi guys! I can't believe we're doing this again, oh how time flies... Every year, I round up some things and create a gift guide, it's almost like a tradition now. You guys wanted to see what selections I have this year, so here it is!

Sarah Moon x NARS Holiday Collection 2016
Today I'll be doing a quick review on some of the products I was sent. The entire collection ranges from lipsticks to eye makeup to nail polishes. After attending the preview for the Sarah Moon x Nars Holiday Collection a couple of weeks ago I got really excited for the launch. At the preview, I was also able to try the Moon Matte Lipstick in Indecent Proposal and I think I'm going to get my hands on one soon! Indecent Proposal is a beautiful rosey nude shade with a matte finish.
Get Real Lip & Eye Set
The packaging for this set is pretty dope, definitely makes a great gift! In it you'll get a Black Moon Audacious mascara and 2 mini-sized Audacious Lipsticks in the shade Bette and Leslie (L-R). Bette is officially my new favourite lip colour! These mini-sized Audacious lipsticks are the cutest!
True Story Cheek & Lip Palette
In this set you get: a full-sized Velvet Matte lip pencil in Mysterious Red, and 4 blushes.
Devotee: I'm not really a fan of this highlighting blush; it's not very pigmented but once I build it up, it just looks frosted. Why can't I win?
Myth: Limited edition shade. Just like Devotee, I don't think it's very pigmented - swatched it with my fingers and then tried it with a brush.
Unwritten: This is also a limited edition shade. Another matte shade and rather pigmented, however, on my skin it looks really light.
Outlaw: Very pigmented and has an iridescent/shimmer look to it, almost like Orgasm (a cult favourite). If you have the Orgasm blusher, y'know what I'm talking about. In comparison to Orgasm, Outlaw is a lot darker so a little goes a long way.
Overall, I feel that Outlaw has the most payoff in terms of colour but all the powder blushers are very easy to blend and buildable. I would like to add that while swatching the colours to do a review (this blog post), I only did 2 layers.
VELVET LIP GLIDE
The Velvet Lip Glide comes in 13 shades. It glides on really smoothly but I like to dab on the product and blend it out with my finger. If you apply a thin coat, the product dries down to a matte finish fairly quickly. BUT if you apply it directly from the wand, it leaves you with a glossier finish. It doesn't feel sticky or heavy on the lips, don't we all just hate glosses that are so darn sticky?!
Deviant (Left): A burgundy/deep red shade that I'm obsessed with. I love to layer my lip colours and Bette + Deviant just go so well together. Not sure if I mentioned this before, but NARS' lip products are so pigmented and they can last all day - extra brownie points!
La Main Bleue (Right): A rich berry shade that I personally am not a fan of because I don't think it suits my skin tone but fairer skin girls would definitely be able to pull this one off.
So whether you're getting these for yourself or a gift for someone, you have to act fast! Since they're limited edition, they won't be around for long.

Rompin Around
These days it's been way too warm to do anything (no, this is not my lazy self finding excuses). The thought of having to find something climate-appropriate to wear is just difficult, considering my wardrobe is 3/4 black - I blame my allergy to colours. On extremely warm days with places to go, my usual get-up would be a romper with a lightweight cardigan or an overall with a loose-fitting tee. I've worn this outfit so many times, I just hope I don't bump into the same people.
I've been getting questions on where to find this pair of shoes that you guys have been seeing on Instagram (this post is so well-received, I'm actually in shock), so I decided to scour the internet and leave the links to them below. These shoes get sold out so quickly everywhere and it was not easy hunting them down, so if you've been searching for them for a really long time (like me), get your credit card ready!

Superstar 80s Rose Gold Trainers: here and here, similar here and here. Good news, they run true to size!
