What I do best..

Shopping that is! I don't understand how some girls detest it, I mean is that even possible?

Anyway, back on point.

I desperately needed a new bag, the worn out vintage look wasn't quite cuttin' it anymore and I needed a update on a budget. I opted for this dark green box bag from Topshop, it was a steal at £36, it's not real leather but it feels like it is - I LOVE it as it's not too adult yet it's not too sporty either, it looks a million times better in person!


I got 2 new Mac eyeshadows; Patina & Satin Taupe.


Everybody loves 'Satin taupe' but 'Patina' deserves even more love. It's a beautiful taupe with a golden sheen, it almost has icy blue/gray tones in it, it's just gorgeous. I have been wearing this all over my lid with a darker colour in the crease.

See swatches..



I also got some Mac brush cleaner to help clean my brushes in between washes.


I got some black shoe boot wedges which are very comfortable from New Look.



and I also got these suede frill detail flats for work also from New Look.


I have also managed to spend a small fortune in the La Senza sale, I picked up some beautiful colourful lingerie and night wear. I also stocked up on my tights at Primark, I'm actually excited for Autumn, are you?

We talked about this before on Twitter but anyway, Patina looks even more beautiful in those swatches than ever before!
I love the bag, elegant enough but can be casual depending on the outfit!

those wedges are stunning! Need to get them for sure. I have satin taupe but it does not get much love from me. Patina would be more of my colour.

love the boots and the bag is a great buy! i love when fake leather feels like real leather. it's hard to find, but worth it, i think.

also, patina looks gorgeous! it's definitely on my list of mac eyeshadows to get :).

I'm totally excites about Autumn, it's my favourite season. Winter's a little too wet and I don't think Summer clothes are particularly elegant or glamorous. During Autumn I can fill my heart with beautiful coats and scarves and boots!

I hadn't really thought about Patina before but think I'll have to take a closer look next time i'm at MAC!

Oh, what i great pair of shoe boot wedges that you've found! I've also heard great things about the MAC Patina eye shadow. Nice buys!

love the booties, I need a new pair for fall - I think this just inspired a little shopping moment of my own..:)

and yes I also don't get the whole "I hate shopping" it's plain nonsense!

I love updating on a budget. Your purse is beautiful. I can't wait for fall too.

I love that bag! What a gorgeous shade, it's dark green, right? :) Loves it! And, I have to say, Patina is my FAVORITE shadow of all time! I literally use it every day, just by itself. Love it paired with satin taupe in the crease, too (if I'm feeling like putting the effort into wearing 2 shadows, ha). Oh and I adore those wedges, I purchase some similar but theyre a clog with studded detail on them.

Hope you have a great week!

Patina was next on my list, but after seeing cork on your blog, I've decided to get that one first, it seems to be a very versatile shade.

I hate shopping for clothes & shoes because I find it difficult to find clothes/shoes that fit and suit me because of my body shape and wide flat feet

Shopping for things that work though, I love. eg books, makeup, toiletries, stationery, etc.

I think I'm officially the only makeup addict left on the planet who does not own Satin Taupe or Patina! They both look like they're right up my alley, but I think I prefer Patina a little bit more. Love those wedges, by the way!

I'm one of those who doesn't like to shop. for clothes at least. it's just so hard to find something that fits. it's so exhausting to try everything on, and usually 0.0001% fits right. Also, in the US the stores are just so overwhelming with so many things, I get anxious. I get tired and ready to go! Everything is so expensive, so it is also very stressful for a person on a budget. (i'm still a grad student & have never had a real job). I'm not too keen on shoe or purse shopping either. again, it's so hard to find something I like that fits and is affordable. it can take hours to find one pair of shoes. I just wish I could pick a few things out simply online and order them and they'd fit! But, I DO LOVE to shop for makeup! it's so fun to test it out and there's no worry about anything fitting, and I can usually make it fit in my budget (being cheaper than clothes or shoes as it is). :)

Patina is one of my must-haves. I can't live without it!! That, along with Arena and Texture...have you tried those?

Muhsine Emin said…
@Aslhey & @Galenx - I know how you feel, but once you know your body shape and what suits you, shopping becomes 10X easier. I love shopping for accessories and makeup as you know they will "fit", books is another addiction!

+ @Galenx maybe you could try personalising your clothes?

@Kajal Couture - I don't have either of those but texture is on my list.

Brill thanks! I have this old eyeshadow Palette which has 4 shadows in which i adore and I have already decided I will need to take it to my Mac counter for them to pick out the four shades they match, and from looking at your swatches I seriously think they patch it, just need to find a white which has gold/pink undertones and a true goldy colour x
