OOTD | Airforce Obsession



The skirt is slightly big so i must purchase a smaller one because I'm in love with it, I think it was like £3 from primark, I kept it simple with a plain white tee and my airforces (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=F9nedpMSG3A) latest video on how i style air force 1's (high and low) lemme just elaborate on them a bit -  im obsessed. air forces are essential to my wardrobe, they're so versatile and you can style with so many different looks and everyone can wear them no matter their personal style, age etc - casual, smart, urban etc, i think if i was rich i'd own several pairs - definitely classics - not sure if i like this outfit tho but i was rushing to go out so - i love how its the end of september and i can still dress like this - i do hope it lasts - (it probably won't.) Quick update: after reviewing my life and timetable, expect something new every friday but make sure you follow or subscribe ^_^ x

REVIEW: urban decay vs. nyx setting spray


Urban decay setting spray, NYX setting spray, review

You know that feeling when you spend £9 on a product and then it doesn't work? it burns yes. So I heard the hype surrounding the Urban decay setting spray, but I didn't really know where i could purchase it so i didnt bother, then i came across it in Debenhams Westfield and I thought it might be a good product to invest in because of my oily skin, make-up would barely last and everyone said it was worth it, so ofcourse I bought it - the oil control one rather than the regular one because oil was my problem - I tested it out the next day on top of my make up and it felt like I just doused my face in oil, I thought ok maybe it dries or something along those lines, but it literally just felt slippery all day and incredibly uncomfortable. (So me being me i started to experiment because after paying £9 for it no wayyyy I wouldn't make it work) So i thought I'd apply it before each layer of make up and see the result, - i checked my face all day and I feel like it made my skin waaaaaay oilier than it ever was before, or like i was just sweating uncontrollably, im still mourning the loss of my £9 because honestly I don't understand why im being sold such dreams, like it does nothing '_'

Anyways, after i gave up on this one, i tried all sorts to keep my make up, i tried hairspray (still way better than UD but i don't believe its healthy so i didnt continue with that experiment)  my sister purchased a duo pack for £12 (i think) with the matte and dewy finish setting spray by NYX and gave me the matte one, I didn't have high hopes for it because of my experience with the UD one, so I just applied it on top of my make up and didn't think much - except the droplets are so big you have to smudge the watermarks off your skin, the spray dried within seconds giving your face a slight matte feel, I still didn't really pay attention to it, I checked my face later that day and realised my make up lasted longer than with the UD spray and with no spray, I was still slightly oily however it was waaay better than the UD finish . By the end of the day my make up wasn't the exact same as it was when I first did it, but it barely changed, everything was still on my face but with a slight oil production which I was happy about, but im not sure if it's something i'd repurchase.

basically urban decay was a total waste as it made my face way oiler than to begin with & nyx definitely kept my make up all day. NYX WINS. however i feel like setting spray isn't even worth your money & I dont think i'll try the UD all nighter or the chill makeup as I can't afford to throw away another £10 D: but ill definitely stick to NYX.

COLLEGE | FIRST DAY









HEYYYYYYYOOOOO. sooo ive just finished my first week of school/college blah blah blah. and i love it so far everythings soo different to school, uhhm yeaah,  its a nice change. but obviously i had to do a first day outfit post because.. why would i not? lol. this was on monday, and i dont know why im posting it today - i think i forgot to do it on monday?

I kept it simple with a white turtle neck and blue jeans both from topshop. i absolutely loveeee these tops because they're full length and its such nice quality and think ill definitely get other colours, as for the jeansssssss, first they were £42 and i was hesitant to by them because like why 42 man? but i did it anywaysss and im absolutelyyyy in love them, i really need a good pair of blue jeans and these definitely do it, they have a really flattering fit and i think ill get more jeans from topshop from now on. I wore my grey coat from Asos which was originally £75 AND THEN IT WAS REDUCED TO £33 NO WAY I WAS LETTING THAT SELL OUT WITHOUT ME HAVING ONE, its not super super warm though but it will go well with layers and its such a nice fall,

I wore these doc look alike things from deichmann (german shoe store dunno if anyone knows it?) i dont think id get real ones, because they're like really pricey and these arent shoes i want foreverrrrr, the only thing is with these is i only worn them once and they are already scuffed and slightly creased but thats what u get for 17.99 lol.

I absolutelyyyyy love this h & m bag because its such a nicer option to the box ones, the box ones have definitely been played out, everyone has them, all different colours, they aree nice but i wanted something else, so i went for this one which can be worn two ways, suede sides out or suede sides in ITS LIKE 2 FOR 1 lol no. but yeah i love loveeee the suede sides and the shape of bag looks expensive. :p

As for my hairrrrr, i redid the sides alot lower this time, and i lurrrve it - i also got a new & better barber so thats good, braids are so heavy though :(
anyways, i did a video on my outfits for the week so check out my youtube at http://www.youtube.com/chrissiethecreator

BYEEEEE :)
