Eye Spy

Finding make up for work can be somewhat daunting for me. Finding a balance between standing out and still looking professional is not some thing that comes easy for me.Lately, however,  that task has become a little less tedious due to the fact that I have found two absolute gems.

*Catrice Intense Eye Wet and Dry eyeshadow. 

While this eyeshadow looks extremely gold and a bit much for work: trust me it is not. The gold shimmer is subtle and not at all too flashy for work. I will say I find that, when I wet my brush, application is much easier and the staying power increases. There is also no fall out as opposed when I don't wet my brush. I am thoroughly delighted with this eyeshadow.

080 please gold the line

*Catrice Absolute Eye Colour Quad

You know how annoying it is when you buy a quad and you only use one or two shades in the quad? Yep. This was not the case with this second beauty also from Catrice. I cant remember if that has ever happened to me. This is great for creating neutral daytime looks and also dramatic night out looks.  I also use one shade to highlight and the darkest one to fill in my brows. The fact that I get so much use out of this quad makes it such a winner for me.

*I can't remember how much I paid for either of these.

What do you use to create work appropriate looks? I would love to hear from you.

TILL LATER, LAUREN!

Trending: Dutch Braids

Every now a trend comes around that completely sweeps over the entire world and has everybody eager to try it. Recently, its been dutch braids.

While the look is pretty butch; everyone including celebrities have been rocking the style. Whether you mix it sweatpants and sneakers or soften the look with heels and sparkels: this trend is sure to get you noticed. Do you think this trend will stick around?

Life Lately

Hey everyone!

It's been a crazy few weeks for me. From my son starting day care to both my parents turning up ill in one week. Nevertheless, I have managed to not be completely miserable. Since I haven't posted  in a bit I thought it was the perfect time for a "life lately" post. As usual, its just a glimpse into my day to day life and a look at the things that make me...well...me. I hope you enjoy the post. If I'm not following you on instagram leave your handle in the comments section below.

TILL LATER, LAUREN!
