Blogmas Day 11: Red and Black OOTD
Hello Lovelies!
Day 11 already! December sure is a speedy month! It's finally holiday time for me, so expect my posts to be more on time!
Recently I've been loving red and black. So I thought I'd share with you a red and black outfit which I love. There's something so festive about red, or it might be my inner desire to match Father Christmas!
Anyways I hope you like it:
This top is from Zara, Skirt is from J Crew.
Overall it's a simple outfit which is super easy and comfy to wear and put together.
Have you bought any outfits lately?

Kat Von D Liquid Lipstick: Outlaw
Hi Lovelies!
I've been enjoying the Kat Von D makeup line a little bit too much lately. So of course there's been another addition to my makeup collection. As it's summer I've been opting for a brighter lip, so the Kat Von D Liquid Lipstick in Outlaw has been absolutely perfect to achieve this look. Kat Von D has a whole array of bright shades of these liquid lipsticks and when you visit Sephora they're almost sold out in pretty much every shade.
However I was lucky enough to snap up this liquid lipstick shade. Outlaw is described as a brick red, but something about this everlasting liquid lipstick just makes my lips perfect. The colour is unreal, it's a gorgeous vibrant red which matches my skin tone perfectly. It's a wow shade that doesn't look over the top but still packs a punch!
As for the actual wear, these are incredible! As it's a liquid lipstick it applies as a liquid however it dries matte! This is probably the smoothest and most even matte type lipstick I've ever worn and I have a lot of lipsticks! The staying power is so good and you'll be rocking the red lip for hours.
I am so impressed by the Everlasting liquid lipsticks that I'm going to be having a fair few more visits to swatch some more shades. I'm also an owner to the bright pink Backstage Bambi shade which I can also do a review on if you'd like!
Have you tried these liquid lipsticks or any of the Kat Von D makeup line?

Good Morning Lovelies!
Today to get into the true Halloween spirit, I thought I would share with you a special MAC lipstick to get you ready for the spooky season. The lipstick which does just that, is MAC Oblivion! This is their new lipstick from the Rocky Horror Picture Show collection. There are 3 other lipsticks in this range too, but they're selling like hotcakes.
I must admit I wasn't overly taken or excited on hearing the news of this release, but then I saw it in store, tested the lipsticks out, and then I was completely sold.
The packaging is really unique and eye catching itself! It has the lips on the front of the packaging which is definitely very fitting for a red lipstick!
Oblivion itself is a medium red lipstick described as being vivid with blue undertones. When swatched and worn it comes off a lot pinker on me than I thought it would. It appeared to be a raspberry kind of shade, which I was a little bit surprised at as I wouldn't have guessed that the blue undertones would turn it out like this. As I completely love wearing these kind of pink tones, this shade is perfect for me.
Also as Oblivion is an Amplified Creme lipstick the finish is lovely, it's extremely moisturising and leaves lips looking soft and full and you get a little shine on the finish too. I found Oblivion to be very long lasting which is always a bonus for a lipstick wearer!
Overall I love this lipstick release, the shade is great for me, it's a red which can be worn without being too shocking. It's still relatively understated but you definitely know it's there! However the one thing I would say is that it's not particularly unique. There are probably a few lipsticks out there which would be perfect dupes. I'll just have to have a little lipstick shop, swatch and hunt for them.
Have you tried this lipstick or do you plan on trying any lipsticks from the Rocky Horror picture show collection?
