The Autumn Vibe
Today I deffo felt what I'm calling the "autumn vibe".
Hair
Put my hair in a high bun and pinned up any strays. I have been trying to experiment with my protective styles as I am not happy with my overall style at the moment. I have been doing braid outs, high buns, playing with hair bands etc which is great because now I feel like I can do a lot mor e with my hair. I washed my hair last week Tuesday and feel like I should be washing it but it doesn't look nor feel greasy so I'll wait till this Saturday to fully treat myself. I have been finger combing my hair as well and I think I have definitely got my technique on point because I have had less than 20 broken strands all week. Any other hair strands I have lost have been shedded hair which is awesome :D
Make-up
I do not claim to be a make-up artis/expert/guru becaue I am none of those things lol. I do what I can to get by. I normally don't wear make-up unless I am going out for dinners, parties and other special occasions. But today, I felt like being someone different. On my face I used my MAC mineralize skinfinish natural powder to give me some light coverage to even out my skin tone and a bit of my MAC powder blush. For my eyes, I used an old Rimmel eyeshadow pallete that has a dark purple shade which I lurve and some mascara. And then for my lips, I used my Lasting Finish lipstick by Kate Moss in the dark purple (No 4) and blended it with a tiny bit of Vaseline aloe vera lip balm. I don't do the whole contouring of face, highlighting of the eyebrows or filling it in, basing eyelid with primer, using more than 2 shades of eyshadow at a time, lining lips with lip liner jazz lol. I know why its done but like I said, I don't normally wear make-up. Maybe I'm lazy? I dunno. I do what I am comfortable doing. Who knows what I'll be doing when I am done with uni :D
Clothes, Shoes and Accessories
I chose to wear my newly acquired burgundy dress from H&M and paired it with my black cardigan, black blazer, black leggings and black ankle boots. The frames of my glasses at the moment are a dark shade of pink. My black ones snapped last week with no warning :( So, I decided to throw on a scarf I have that is exactly the smae shade. That way I felt the pink won't look so...left out? Haha. As far as accessories go, I only wear earrings and my watch unless it is a special occasion....then I'll throw in a necklace and a bracelet lol.
In my defense, I am studying chemical engineering and I'm in my final year. As long as I look reasonably decent I am ok with that. I could spend extra time making sure I am wearing the latest trends and looking fashionable everday but...sadly, I would rather spend that time and energy trying to understand thermodynamics, catalytic reactions and design a waste water treatment plant :)
Till next time!
Luv, Mo xx
