🌟 Fashion Fix | The Patchwork Cardigan 🌟

🌟 Fashion Fix | The Patchwork Cardigan 🌟


Patchwork Cardigan paired with Blue Washout Cut
-off Jeans, Black Halter-neck Chiffon Top and
Black Trainers.
Hello to all my lovely followers and visitors to my blog :)


It has been a while since I have posted and I apologise, however life has been busy with so much going on, only now have I had a chance to photograph one of my favourite fashion fix items in my wardrobe; my Patchwork Cardigan. 

This is something I have been wanting to share with you all for sooo long, however the weather or other circumstances have not permitted it, until now. So lets start shall we? 

Don't mind me, just enjoying the comfort
of my cardigan 😇 
I purchased this Patchwork Cardigan for £14 and I just love it's lush mix of patchwork colours, with the light cream, black and mustard yellow harmoniously combined together. Plus, it is one of the most comfortable items you will ever own in your wardrobe; a very attractive trait for any piece of clothing.


My Patchwork Cardigan is also a highly versatile item for any wardrobe, with so many items you can pair it with to give off a perfect casual vibe. 

   For this outfit, I paired the Patchwork Cardigan with my Blue Washout Cut-off Jeans, Black Halter-neck Chiffon Top and Black Trainers for an effortless, yet put-together look. 
   

The Patchwork Cardigan's versatility is also catered towards a vast majority of the seasons, with this cardigan being suitable for Autumn, Winter, and Spring, as seen in this post. During Autumn and Winter, you can wear it alongside boots, jeans and a warm coat, and alone with jeans and shoes as seen in this outfit.


This Patchwork Cardigan really is a wardrobe keeper, with it's affordability, comfort and lush mix of colours. It's the perfect item to spice up any everyday look, whist giving off a made-up, effortless vibe; the definite must have for any wardrobe.


Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed this post.

Technic Mega Mattes Eye Shadow Palette | Smokey Cappuccino Look

   Technic Mega Mattes Eye Shadow Palette | Smokey Cappuccino Look




Hello to all my followers and visitors to my blog.

Technic Mega Mattes Eye Shadow Palette used for my
 Smokey Cappuccino Look.
Now it's been a while since I posted because things have been very hectic with the Christmas period over and the new year in tow ( happy New Year everyone :) ). I have been busy working 10.5-12 hour shifts at work non-stop which have left me exhausted and run down with a cold :( However I booked myself off some well deserved holiday this month and am glad to say I can't wait to blog about an makeup look and product that I have wanted to post about for a long time; so here it is :)

My Smokey Cappuccino look using
Technic's Mega Mattes Eye shadow
Palette. I have completed it with Rimmel
Lasting Finish Lipstick in 'Asia' to show
the Smokey Berry Cappuccino Look.
Today the makeup product I am blogging about is one of my favourite brands' eye shadow palettes: Technic's Mega Mattes Eye shadow palette, which I was influenced to buy after I came across Technic's Mega Nudes Eye Shadow palettes that came in three series, which I bought 2 of the 3 series: Technic Mega Nudes 2 and Technic Mega Nudes 3; both big favourites of mine (so a post about these will follow soon).

Now if you follow my blog, and from reading the above text, you will know I am a big fan of Technic's products, especially their eye shadows because of the affordability, quality and the non-animal testing of their products. I purchased Technic's Mega Mattes Palette for the amazing price of £2.99 and I can say for sure that money hasn't gone to waste.

I love Technic's Mega Mattes Eye shadow because of the smooth consistency the matte shadow has and the lovely nude to neutral colours that look so natural and effortless for an everyday look that takes just a few minutes to achieve.
Technic Mega Mattes Eye shadow Palette:
 Cappuccino eye shadow is the one the brushes
are pointing to. 
   Like I normally do, I have given a name to each eye shadow colour around the theme of cafe drinks, because of the coffee and cappuccino like colours they have, and also to add a bit of fun to the makeup looks I create.

To create this look, I firstly applied my everyday makeup, concealer, foundation and setting powder. I then took my flat eye shadow brush and gently applied the eye shadow for this look called 'Cappuccino' and gently placed onto my eyelids using light patting motions to distribute the eye shadow evenly and reduce fallout of the shadow under my eyes.
 
Taking my eye shadow blending brush, I then began to blend the eye shadow into the eye socket and along the eyelids to create a smokey look. I further applied a little more to the outer eyelids to build the smokey look with the shadow. To finish off, I applied mascara to my eye lashes and gently dusted away any excess eye shadow under my eyes using my powder brush to compete my look.
The finished look

For a bigger impact with this look, such as for special occasions in the day or night, you can also add a dark lipstick to finish the look off, which I did using one of my favourite lipsticks, Rimmel's Long Lasting Lipstick in 'Asia'; to aid this dark smokey makeup look and transform this look into what I call Smokey Berry Cappuccino Look 😘.


There you go, my Smoke Cappuccino look using Technic's Mega Mattes Eye shadow palette. I hope this makeup look was of interest and maybe even of great use for anyone looking for an affordable makeup look that is effortless yet effective for everyday wear or even night time wear for occasions such as parties or events 😃
