Sephora Haul

by CharlRose, posted in Beauty
During my trip to Barcelona I stopped off in Sephora, naturally. I only planned on picking up a liquid lipstick but of course I got slightly carried away. This was my first time ever visiting Sephora so I was beyond excited to see/buy products that are unavailable to buy in the UK.

I have wanted the Make Up Forever HD Cover stick for ages, so that was the first item I picked up. Kat Von D makeup has just recently launched over here in the UK exclusive to Debenhams (hallelujah!!), however I was completely unaware of this glorious launch at the time and purchased two everlasting liquid lipsticks and a tattoo liner. Sephora’s own products has been raved about forever all over the beautysphere and I was in need of a new concealer, so of course I popped one of those in my basket. I was just about to checkout when I was tempted by the Sephora Masks. I suffer with dry skin on my hands during the fall season and thought a hand mask would be perfect for the cold months ahead.
Although it is only a miniature haul, the excitement of visiting Sephora for the first time demanded a blog post!

Smart Casual

by CharlRose, posted in Fashion, Style
My outfit is for a day of running errands and meeting up with friends for lunch. I’m a big fan of basic staples, like a comfy flowy blouse, smartened up with a blazer coat, black statement floppy hat and a quirky blue stone necklace. This is such a simple, minimalistic outfit that can be easily put together to pull off the ‘smart casual’ look.  Im not ready to ditch the jacket yet so this light and trendy blazer alternative seems weather appropriate.
For my makeup I have done a simple smokey eye paired up with a muted brown lip.
Face: Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation in Light Beige 
Contour: Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit in Light to Medium
Eyes: Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette 
Lip: Whirl by MAC

Festival Shooting in the Forest

by CharlRose, posted in Fashion, Style
What a fabulous weekend I have had! I was kindly invited to a Festival inspired photoshoot, organised by the makeup artist Jen Eachus. Festival season is swiftly approaching and being a festival lover myself, I was instantly interested in this event.
The photoshoot itself not only highlighted Jen’s astounding talent for makeup but also showcased the beautiful and dynamic ‘Soul Junkie’ clothing.  Soul Junkie is a Bohemian inspired bespoke boutique launched by Vanessa Mitchinson. Her aim was to create a contemporary selection of diverse looks from a range of cultures that can be worn particularly during festival season.  She expressed her love for spiritualism and wanted to interpret this through her Mystic collection. The bold and vibrant colours in these looks inspired me to mix up my summer wardrobe and dare to try something new!
The photoshoot was made up of three different looks:
1.) The Western Girl

 

2.) African Tribal
3.) Mystic

Spring Loving Style!

by CharlRose, posted in Fashion, Style
The dungarees craze is my kind of trend!
I love this Pinny/Dungarees style dress teamed up with a white collared shirt underneath. Florals are renowned to be associated with spring. I wanted to collaborate the spring florals into an effortlessly styleish outfit that would also be fit to face the Manchester chills.
After thoroughly rising my wardrobe of all its dark coloured knits and heavily insulated jackets, I thought it was about time to add a splash of colour! My HUGE spring clean was exactly what I needed, out with the old and in with the new.

Turtle Neck and Camouflage Combo

by CharlRose, posted in Fashion, Style
The transitional period is upon us! It’s not quite warm enough to ditch the jumpers, but its not cold enough to wear our parkas and fur jackets. This green affair seemed appropriate to tackle the British weather. A chunky turtle neck from Topshop and an over sized army camouflage jacket from Urban Outfitters.
I’m a little tomboy at heart and love anything oversized or chunky. When I seen this jacket it seemed the perfect statement piece I have been looking for and was screaming “Charl!” So I had to get it!
This is a perfect look for hanging out with friends, going into town shopping or maybe a few chilled out drinks in a bar or pub. The jacket gives an edge to the cutesy roll neck jumper peeping underneath.
