Causal Gallery's trip in London


28th Jan, took a trip with my fine art college class around some gallerys in London. This included 
Saatchi gallery, Serpentine gallery's and The V&A gallery.

including a little outfit of the day :) 





                 

 






                                                                  Saatchi Gallery 
Post pop: East Meets West.
These pictures were taken at the saatchi gallery and what this was all about is the juxtaposition of Europe home ware and Chinese/Japanese the two different cultures and how we make things different for our own entertainment and living. I've noticed Europe seem to be quite simplistic, whereas china love detail and bright colours. I could talk about this for ages there is so much going on that's what i loved about this gallery. ALSO free so if you are looking into spending a day near the Chelsea area
pop in loads a shops near by too.




 After that me and Coco aka Chloe B stopped for a cute lunch date at Pret gotta love it, so fresh and healthy got my fav avocado sandwich with a cheeky bag of cheesy crisp and a the avocado detox drink, being a veggy i need all the veg i can get ! came to around a fiver not to bad for the old Pretaroo. Also Chloe was smart and brought a lunch but she's got some mango and lime that was too good love love love... ♥ 
 After that we went to BRANDY MELVILLE that shop is honestly the love of my life we have been before but god damn there clothes is just simple cute and sometimes affordable but for a brand that's come from the US i honestly love it. Thinking of doing a brandy haul !!!! i got my self a cute ring and a long t-shirt dress as they are my fave SOO comfy. moving on...



 
You know The V&A is a beautiful place but i wasn't too impressed with the part we had to see i wasn't too excited by it don't get me wrong so interesting if you are into that stuff but honestly it didn't catch my eye too much. I found my self wondering into the fashion section pretty fast i loved it. My fashion lovers that is a defo great place to go to see the history of fashion.


         OOTD TIME!

Righto well my outfit chose was pretty simple i wanted to be comfy as I'm walking around all day i went for the more lay back with a bit of sass ;) 
So starting with a oversize roll neck from primark - £5

Topshop boyfriend coat from last year was in the sale for like 20 pound so cheap 
Shoes my sale pick up from Bank truffle black ankle booties with a zip at the front, 40 down to £20 OH YES. 
Lastly my scarf from river island like £15 and an old UAL toke bag gotta be arty :) 

For my hair and makeup i honestly just straightened my hair the wind killed it :( 
Then just a simple mac fix fluid in NC 25 
Rimmel stay Matt powder

and just filled in my brows with my naked basics pallet the two darkest shades.
simple classy. i try. 


 



Last galleries were the two serpentine gallery's very fun and super cool all to do with engaging with an audience, lights and movement played a huge part, also love the simplistic side of it where as one was quick striped back, where as the other galley was very hands on. The contract of the two was great and super fun. also a lovely little walk to the galleries so no need to panic :)

Superdrug Haul / eye makeup look for beginners









Taking a pop around SuperDrug i found my self some goodies with these I've make a little tutroial for a smokey eye for green eyed girl :)

ECO TOOLS/EYE ENHANCING DUO SET:
£6.99
What i love about this set is you have everything you need to start off doing eye makeup with only two brushes,  you have Shade -bush for applying shadow too your hole eyelid, Define- angled to line and defined your eye, Blend- Blend in your shadow, Smudge- Smudge and liner along lash line.
They are beautiful and soft, made with all organic materials Bamboo & recycled materials so if you're vegan or against animal curelty this is also right up your street.

NYC Individual Eyes Palette Smokey:

£2.49 (Also a palette for blue and brown eyes)
This is great as if you are starting with eye makeup it does all the work for you from telling you where to put each shadow to giving you a primer base to telling you what colour eye it suits. What i liked about these are the colours are very pigmenated but i could also created a very light every day look that really complemented my green eyes. The down side is the shadow didn't stay on as long as id think with the primer but i would recommend the all mighty urban decay primer postion its amazing and long lasting. 

£2.99                                      £3.29
The wipes are great does remove all makeup could be more wet, but great if you just wana a clean up too feel fresh, where as I'm in love with the tea tree moisturiser so light weight, hydrating in all the right way not too much and doesn't leave your face oily. for someone who suffers with acne this didn't set me off it really cooled down the spots. 

Finally back hoping to do more blogs really into my makeup brushes at the moment so hopefully do a post on that also loads of new high brand and makeup. needed some new products to spice up the new year nice and simple. <3
