Seasonals | Bright and Bold

From L to R: Mac 'So Chaud', Revlon ColourBurst Lipstick 'Fuchsia', Illamasqua 'Scandal'

Hi lovelies! Today I have hijacked Erin's Seasonals series to chat about my favourite lipsticks for summer. It gets face-meltingly hot in Brisbane over the summer and my day to day makeup is reduced to eyebrows, lashes and a bright lip colour. If it isn't a bold colour chances are I won't be interested.

Crop Top Supre / Bikini Top All About Eve / Shorts UNIF Dazey Shorts via Karmaloop / Shoes Thrifted

Hi lovelies! I am so glad that it is festival season again. I did a couple of posts early last year on what I wear to festivals, but you can never go wrong with a pair of high waisted shorts and a crop top. 

The shorts are adding to my ever-expanding UNIF collection and they are just about the cutest things ever. They're super loose and comfy and make for a perfect beach or festival outfit. They were a mega bargain on Karmaloop and have since sold out, but it would be worth checking to see if you can find them online elsewhere. 

Now let's address the crop top from Supre. If you aren't from Australia Supre tends to have a reputation of being slightly tacky and almost exclusively sells to young teens. I hadn't even set foot in a store since my final year of high school when I was shopping for a fluorescent dance outfit. 

However I was picking up a few pieces for a Halloween costume and stumbled across this crop top. I've had my eye out for the perfect baggy crops for summer and was so surprised to find them in Supre. I have snapped up the black and the white and have a feeling that they will be paired with everything in my wardrobe. 

The shoes are just a pair I picked up thrifting ages ago. Sadly they are coming to their end of their life, and I think the time has come for me to invest in a pair of white converse. 

I wore this outfit to Listen Out yesterday and had an absolute blast. The weather was perfect and AlunaGeorge and Disclosure were absolutely phenomenal. 

Just finished up my uni break with a day trip to the beach. It was a great way to end the weekend, but I'm now dreading getting up for uni tomorrow morning. 

What are you favourite things to wear to a festival?

Rebel, Rebel Your Face is a Mess

So I've decided that its about darn time a picture of my face appeared on the blog. I was worried that all I would post were pictures of my disembodied feet.

This is one of my favourite MAC lipsticks and the fact that I got to throw David Bowie into the mix was just an added bonus. 

I am a bright lipstick fiend. In fact, the photo above is pretty much my standard face. Compulsory black liner, mascara and lipstick, easy-peasy. 

I don't tend to have a lot of boundaries when it comes to bold lip colours. I have happily slapped on a black lippy and dashed out the door on more than one occasion. The reason I like this colour so much is that it is dark enough to be vampy but still quite a bright colour. This makes it a worthy addition to my lipstick drawer (yes there's a drawer, I'm aware I have a slight problem). 

MAC lipsticks are pretty pricey in the Land of Oz, but as a brand they are consistently good. The deciding factor in my lipstick purchases is always lasting power as with colours like this any wear is far more obvious. MAC lipsticks have proven themselves time and time again to stick around for a good 8 hours, and this shade stains the lips as well.

An all round winner then is MAC's Rebel. 

What's your go to bold lipstick?
