Fashion Dupes | Disco Pants | Zara Bag

HI girls, over the last few weeks i have found some good dupes of  popular fashion items that are the infamous 'Disco Pants' and the 'ZARA shopper bag'.  
I think everyone has heard of the American apparel Disco pants, there the must have fashion item right now and i do see why they are, they give a flattering form-fitting shape and in all honesty they make you look sexy as hell!
But they have quite a nifty price of 70 pounds, in my opinion its well over-priced ! but for some reason i was still willing to pay this to get my own pair of bad boys.
Until one day i was browsing in River Island, and i come across some pants i think looked pretty similar to the AA Disco Pants.  


These pants were 30 pounds which is more than half of the AA ones.  They have that shiny look to them ( which the photos arnt showing well) they also have the pockets at the back and the button detail on the front.  My friend has the AA ones and she says they look very similar too.  So if you were considering getting some i would take a look in River Island first and save some cash!

My next find is a more recent one, i was browsing some online websites for a new bag for college, and i was on Missguided.co.uk.  I came across a lovely bag which i thought was a similar style to a ZARA one i had seen in store, im pretty sure its called 'Shopper'.  I ended up buying it for around 26 pounds, which is a bargain compared to ZARA's prices.
Its black and cream leather (fake obviously) with leopard print lining inside, which i love!  heres the link




I love sharing some good bargain finds with you and hope it helped.

MAC Face And Body Foundation Review

Im back with a review of MAC's F&B foundation, this one i have been dying to try out for ages and i finally got my hands on it a few weeks back.  Im the shade C3 , you get 120 ml for 26 pound 50 ( i cant use my pound sign because its broke ! :( ).  So this is way more product than your average foundation, so you can sort of justify the price.  The packaging i really like, its like a little chubby bottle with a squeezy dispenser so you can control nicely how much product you want.


So what drove me to want this foundation? well i always hear make-up artists rave about it, and i was looking for a light coverage foundation for summer.  Its a water based foundation and i find that when i apply it to my skin i have to work quite quick with it, as it dries fast.
For me this is great for a hot humid day when i dont want a face full of make-up, it nicely evens out my skin and gives me a radiant healthy look.  I apply two layers because it just gives me that right amount of coverage.  I will say if you are a full coverage girl you wont like this its very light and freckles are still visible.  MAC do say that this foundation is good for ALL skin types, and i do also think this has a really good staying power.

Overall this gets a thumbs up from me, has anyone else tried this foundation?
What are your thoughts? :)


                                                     With the foundation on.

Topshop Lipstick | All about me

Iv been wanting to do this post for absolute ages! well just because i think all you ladies need to know about this beaut of a lipstick.

Its a Topshop Lipstick in 'All about me', i bought it in march and have been non stop wearing it.  Its a bright fuchsia pink (the photos arnt giving it justice) with blue undertones.
I have been mostly wearing this with really minimal eye make-up and then just wack this on,i dont know how but it makes you look flawless, trust me!
The staying power i think is really good, it leaves a stain on your lips so you can tell how good it stays.  I cant remember exactly the price but its defiantly under a tenner.
