Benefit – Roller Lash

How could I not buy Elle Magazine last month when they were giving away a free mini Benefit mascara? And then how could I not buy the real thing after it graced my lashes with pure awesomeness?

Benefit’s Roller Lash mascara was released in February, and I rushed to buy it! Being my first Benefit product, I looked forward to discover what I’ve been missing out on.

Roller Lash is no less than amazing. It makes my eyes look twice as big and gives them am instant glow. Even on days where I’m a tad peaky, Roller Lash brightens up my whole complexion!

Sut allawn beidio prynnu cylchgrawn Elle mis dywthaf pan oedd y cylchgrawn yn cynnig mascara Benefit am ddim? A wedyn, sut allawn i beidio prynnu’r mascara go iawn ar ol i’r sampl roi 

Wedi ei ryddhau ym mis Chwefror, nes i ruthro i’r siop i’w brynnu! Hwn oedd y cynnyrch cyntaf Benefit i mi brynnu, felly roeddwn i’n edrych ymlaen yn arw i’w drio!

Mae Roller Lash yn dim llai na anhygoel. Mae’n wneud i fy llygaid edrych dwywaith eu maint ac yn eu gwneud yn fwy gloyw. Hyd yn oed ar y dyddiau ble dwi’n edrych braidd yn welw, mae Roller Lash yn bywiogi fy ngwedd yn syth!

LFW – J JS Lee

Since finishing her studies at Central Saint Martins, receiving an MA in Womenswear, Jacke JS Lee has showcased many collections at London Fashion Week. I always look forward to seeing her newest designs, and today was no exception.

Eagerly awaiting by my laptop with the live stream on full screen, I think back on how her past collections have served as inspiration for me. I love how she can only use a select colour palette time after time, yet deliver something new. 

As the room fell dark and silent, the first model entered. With a pixie bowl hairstyle and the classic red lip, the first outfit of LFW did not disapoint.

A persistent feature in this collection was a draw-string effect, which I loved! Gorgeous pale pink fur also graced the catwalk, with the odd shocking pink feature on the dark, black garments.

Reincarnation

So, who else has been waiting in anticipation since the teaser trailer released last week? I have!

‘Reincarnation’, directed by Karl Lagerfeld and starring Cara Delevingne and Pharell Williams, was premiered last night (1st of December) on the eve of the Chanel catwalk presentation Métiers d’Art in Salzburg, Austria.

The song, written by Pharell Williams and performed as a duet by himself and Cara, has been stuck in my head since I first watched it, especially the ‘si si’ bits! And that dress! It’s exactly what 6 year old me imagined when dreaming of my future as a princess.

I can’t wait to see photos from the evening!

Cafodd ‘Reincarnation’, wedi ei gyfarwydd gan Karl Lagerfeld ac yn cynnwys Cara Delevingne a Pharell Williams, ei chwarae am y tro cyntaf neithiwr (1af o Rahgyr) ar noswyl cyflwniad catwalk Chanel, Métiers d’Art, sy’n cael ei gynnal yn Salzburg, Awstria.

Mae’r gan, wedi ei ysgrifennu gan Pharell Williams ac wedi ei berfformio gan Cara a Pharell, wedi bod yn sownd yn fy mhen ers i mi wylio’r video rhagflas wythnos dwythaf! A’r ffrog! Mae’r ffrog yn union beth oeddwn i’n ei ddychmygu pan oeddwn i’n breuddwydio am fy nyfodol fel tywysoges (pan oeddwn i’n hogan fach, wrth gwrs!).

Alla i ddim disgwyl i weld lluniau o’r noson!.

Too Many? I Say Not Enough

The outfit finisher: shoes!

I will always remember the first time I fell head over heels for a pair of.. heels. After trawling for hours around the Trafford Centre for the perfect heels for a Christmas Ball, I stumbled into Forever 21, feet aching and belly gasping to be fed. Then I saw them, the five inch beauties waiting to transform my stride from the tired shopper slouch into an elegant glide.

And that was it, I was hooked on shoes. 

There’s something about shoes that only a few will understand. When you shop, shoes remain in your peripheral vision for a while. You know they’re there and reassure yourself that you don’t have room for any more. You contemplate renting a storage unit. You shrug that idea off. You are not going to buy shoes. But maybe…? No, you came in for a light scarf and nothing more.

Then, at the till point, you realise they’re in your hand, glaring with satisfaction.

The following night is filled with guilt and convincing yourself that shoes are an investment, Becky Brandon nee Bloomwood said so! 

My advice for the friends and family of those who suffer from this severe shoe obsession is very, very simple… Just let us shop! 

Motel Rocks actually… rocks

Hardly ever I come across a site and think I WANT IT ALL but Motel Rocks… I love it!

After months of dwindling over the thought of indulging myself in Motel’s unique gorgeousness, I might have squealed when I saw that Topshop in Oxford Street in London actually stock Motel Rocks. One thing that was stopping me from buying online was the sizes, so here was my chance to try them on, finally!

But, being on a spending strike, I peeled myself away from my new best friends… And then went online and bought a Motel dress anyway…

 And wore it out straight away (had to show it off, didn’t I?)

My next Motel purchase is fast approaching. I’ve been eyeing up and saving for a certain bag for a while…

So, when will you give in to the temptation of Motel Rocks??
