NYE Outfit

Hi Guys, 

I just bought this very sparkly skirt from Missguided and thought it would be great for New Year's Eve. Might be a bit early to start thinking about it, but I'm sure you all are! 

Sparkles are always big around the holidays, something to do with festivities and parties I think. 

I put together a little outfit of what would I think would look great with this ensemble and here it is... 

NYE Outfit by emilyrodgers18 featuring mimco

I never ever wear heels, not that I dont want to, just being 6 foot tall is a bit of a hinderance! 

I loveee these peep toe ankle boots, they make it look a bit more wintery than just plain black heels. 

The long sleeved crop top is very 90's (which is very now) and covers up some skin, classiness and warmth preserved, as well as complimenting the peplum with a bit of midriff, but not too much! 

Some contrast nails would set off the colours a bit more, a chose this shimmery red because its a darker colour and the shimmer matches the skirts texture.

I'm also loving nude lipstick at the moment. I bought some from Boots today, got home and had left it in the shop! so sad. 

Smokey eyes would look great with the colours and perfect if you're going out. 

Light jewellery would top it off, but not too much as the skirt is already the statement piece. 

Finally a bit of bubbly and you're set for the New Year! 

This would also make a great Christmas party outfit.

I was going to save it for NYE but I know I'll be tempted to wear it next week for the end of term! 

Hope you like it!

Hello Kiko

Hi Guys,

I'm in Spain and as my family know about my nail addiction, my auntie thoughtfully showed me this Italian cosmetics brand Kiko. They have thousands of colours for only £1.50! Not only that, they have loads of make up and cosmetics for really good prices too! 

They have everything from concealer to blue mascara and their moto is 'be who you want' which is quite nice.

Below are a few of my favourites from them and the colours that I bought. 

Something I've never seen before to test nail varnishes is putting out cellotape for the customers to tear off, put on their arm or hands and paint some of the colours on to it to see what they look like, really good idea.

I've seen crackle before but not in wacky colours, so I got two to try out.

This says magnetic but its metallic pink, a cool shiny silver affect mixed with the colour.

And these three bold colours. I got some shades that I'm missing from my collection at the moment to make it a bit more complete. I really love the orange.

And here are a few of my favourite make up bits. 

Glossy Eye Pencil  

£5.20

Soft Focus Compact Wet & Dry Mineral Foundation

£3.00

Sunproof Powder Foundation 

£5.50

Blooming Eyeshadow Palette

£3.00

Super Colour Mascara 

£5.90

Lip Glaze

They always have special offers going on but the only shop they have in the UK is in London Westfield. They have a UK website but I'm not sure about the delivery charges. 

Anyway I think its a great international brand and I hope they bring more stores to the UK soon!
