NEW IN: Swing skirts

Hello everyone! Today I want to show you my new swing skirts! I have been ordering quite a bit of vintage clothing lately, especially winter proof items as well! Since it's getting colder, I thought longer swing skirts would be in order. So that's that I got! I got all of my clothing from a shop called Topvintage, it's an online shop and they sell a lot of Hell Bunny and Steady Clothing items there, but  also other pin-up products.

There's not a lot to say about it, so look your eyes out! Outfit posts will hopefully be up soon!

EXAMS!

Hi you guys!
A little bit of a less positive post today (well, depending on how you see it). I have a two week long exam period at school. I start on the fifth (so by the time you read this I have already started) and the exams end on the seventeenth!

I just wanted to let you know, I'm not leaving, haha!
I want to apologize for my abscence on the blog (or the one that's about to come), but I'll be back soon, and maybe with the good news that I survived the first trimester! I hope you all have a lovely day and I'll talk to you again soon!

My neutral eyeshadow palette collection!

Hello everyone! 

Today I want to share with you my all time favourite neutral palettes, I use these palettes very often for my everday (pin up) makeup look! 

I have all of the palettes listen below and I also linked the reviews for you guys!

Catrice absolute nude palette review

A bunch of other palettes that I don't have reviews on but I have shown them in another post. I think it was called "My favourite neutral palettes" or something.

Another palette that I didn't put in the other post at the time is this one by NYC. It's called "South Street Seaport". It's a good palette for everyday, but since I've expanded my collection, I don't use this particular one much anymore.

 My 144 colours palette! How many neutral colours could you possibly want?!

ELF eyeshadow palette review

I also love this pin-up palette! It's called Nude 'Tude by The Balm. I love this palette (because it's very well quality ànd it has pin-up girls on it!!).

Nude 'Tude makeup palette looks!

I have never loved any palette as much as my pin-up palette, also known as the "Nude 'Tude" palette by The Balm. Today I have two looks for you!

 

Look #1 : 

This is how I made this look

 

*"Selfish" on the lid, 

*"Sultry" in my crease 

*"Sophisticated" my outer corner.

*"Sassy" on my browbone

*"Serious" used as eyeliner.

And this is the result! 

Look #2

This is how I made the look:

*"Sexy" on the lid

*"Silly" in the crease

*"Serious" as eyeliner

I was wearing a blue sweater so I wore blue mascara as well but it's not necessary.

I used a dark lip liner to finish the look.

Both of the looks are a little bit darker, but they are very fall proof! I hope you enjoyed my looks! Let me know what you think! 

- All the best, Mamie Monroe ♥

The Balm "Instain" blush review

A little while ago I purchased a Nude 'Tude palette, and I am loving it!

While unpacking, I noticed there was something else in the little bag that the lady at the shop put my palette in. A receipt and... THIS!

This is the "Instain" blush from The Balm. I saw it in the store as well but I didn't get it so this was a nice little surprise! I love the name of the blush. "Instain". I wonder who comes up with these names!

I can't believe how beautiful the packaging is. The front totally reminds me of a magazine and the lady on the 'cover' is so beautiful! Seeing this immediately put a smile on my face!

This is the inside. Like I said, I saw it in the store as well but I thought they were eyeshadows. Now, it's clear that they're not. I wondered how I would get my blush brush in this little pan, but I tested it already and it works out just fine.

Here's a swatch of the blush! It's quite pigmented, especially for a blush! I'm a huge fan of bright blushes so they couldn't have given me anything better!

You do have to be careful not to put on too much though, just a little whipe is enough to brighten up both of your cheeks. Lovely!

Below you can see a picture of what my cheek looks like without and with blush.

I am loving this blush a lot! Great pigmentation, lovely colour, you don't need a lot of product at all. It's a "yes" from me!

Lots of love!
