My Fashion Pet Peeves!

So I was watching one of 'icallitambrosia' videos yesterday and it got me thinking about my fashion pet peeves, here's my list


1. Leggings as trousers. Leggings are not trousers, so if you are wearing very thin (why is it always the people with shitty leggings committing this crime?) leggings with a regular length or ,even worse, a crop top I am going to look at you in disgust or laugh because I can see your thong.


2. Fake designer. I can spot fake designer a mile off and trust me it doesn't look good. But when I say fake designer I am not just talking about fake Gucci handbags, nope I am also talking about those 'designer' brands you find littering TK Maxx. Stop wearing them. NOW!


3. People who wear full on trainers, that you would do sport in, outside in the public viewing area. If you are out lets say shopping and you are wearing athletic trainers with skinny jeans and a pretty top you just look like a twat.


4. Camel toe.


5. Ugg boots and shorts.


6. Shorts and tights.


7. People who wear T shirts with a Phrase/ Band/ Person they have never heard off/ don't like/ don't listen to.


8. Too short leggings.


9. Bad make-up (See my last post for details).


10. Anything wayyyyy too big or wayyyy to small.




Ok so thats my list of my fashion pet peeves, either comment down below yours or make a blog post and send me the link so I can see what things bother you!

Elf and stuff haul :)

Hi sweetcheeks ;),
                           So yesterday I ordered off http://eyeslipsface.co.uk/ for what seems like the one hundredth time (but is in actual fact the 5th time since August, so 5 times in 7 months (so not that bad :L)), but anyways my package arrived today (well done ELF) with regular shipping. Also today my parents and I took a little trip out to a nearby town for lunch and to look in the little independent shops that the town is littered with.

 A small over view of the things I bought :)
So I guess I will start off with the randoms:

•  Fiji Water (Sooo yummy and a pretty bottle too!) About £1.20 for a litre
• 8 coasters (Beetles and Wonder Woman for myself and the other 6 for the house) £1.99 each (Garden Centre)
• Denture cleaning tablets (for my retainer) 90p (Boots)
• And the 'Soap and Glory Face Massage Mini Mitt' (Which I just tried and its PHENOMENAL!) £4 (Boots)

And the ELF Stuff:

• 4 studio line blushes in 'Peachy Keen', 'Mellow Mauve', 'Gotta Glow' and 'Twinkle Pink', Gotta Glow is an off white highlighter, Peachy Keen a peachy brown, Mellow Mauve a gorgeous wine colour (This is by far my favourite) and Twinkle Pink highly reminds me of 'Super Orgasm' by NARS, just not a pigmented. They are £3.50 each
• The 'Studio Line Mist And Set', this setting spray was smaller than I expected and smells like cucumber sandwiches, but I will try it out another day and back to you on how it works. This was £3.50
• I bought the 'Studio Line Brush Shampoo' as I wanted a brush shampoo and ELF's 'Daily Brush Cleanser' has done me well. £3.50
• 2 'Studio Cream Liners' in 'Black' and 'Ivory'. I adore the black shade as it is long wearing and very deep but unfortunately the 'Ivory' shade was completely dried up so I emailed ELF asking if they would send me another. £3.50 each
• The 'Studio Matte Eyeshadow' in 'Smoke'. I ADORE this loose shadow already as it is soft, pigmented and easily blendable, I will be purchasing more of these as they are £3.50 each
• The 'Studio Pigment Eyeshadow' in 'Naturally Nude'. Once again I ADORE this shade which is odd because this is high shimmery and I prefer matte's usually. Once again £3.50
• The 'Studio Make-up Lock and Seal' which ELF describes as such:  

"Increase the intensity of your makeup colors and lock it on instantly. Coat your eyeliner, shadow, lipsticks, blush, brow color and more for a sealed smudge-proof wear. The quick dry and easy to use formula keeps you makeup in place for hours. Say goodbye to makeup smudges and hello to makeup that stays put!"

              I have yet to try this but it looks promising!

• I bought the Mineral line 'Bamboo Blending Eye Brush' which have used and next time I'm buying a spare its so great! £5.50
• And finally the Mineral line's 'Face Starter Kit' in 'Fair', it comes with a foundation, a concealer, a blush, angled blush brush, a powder brush and a small black make-up bag. Lets ignore the brushes and bag as they are so-so and not my favourites. The foundation and concealer are both in'Fair', the containers are both small but are very good as a booster to regular concealer and foundation. I wore the powder concealer over the 'Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer' in 'Fair 1' and the coverage together was pretty good. I also wore the foundation as a setting powder over the 'Stila Illuminating Tinted Moisturiser' in 'Shade 2' which also provided great coverage. The Blush is in 'Joy' and is a nice mid-tone pink, it is matte and I can see myself using it a lot. This kit costs £15 for 6 items

Thanks for reading sweetcheeks *MWAHHHH* ;)

Love Hattie <3
