Outfit of the Day (#OOTD)
Ciao ♥ Wah! This is going to be one of those extremely short but sweet kinda things. Simply because it's currently 02:55am and my body has gone into autodrive. I'm off on holiday in a few hours time so I really should be sleeping, but I didn't want to jet off without leaving you guys with something new to feast your fashion craving eyes on. Please note that there won't be any blog posts going live during my time away. I hope you guys don't mind :) Anyways, what do you guys think of this outfit? Is it something you'd wear? Do let me know X

Interview Outfit Ideas
Ciao ♥ Although
my blog has a fairly small audience, there are still quite a few of you who are
regular readers. For that matter I feel as if I should take it upon myself to
help you guys out. Besides from doing that fashion and beauty wise (at least I
hope I do), I think it’s important to discuss a range of topics and offer
advice which can make somewhat of a difference and be beneficial to your
everyday life. In today’s post I will be briefly touching upon job interviews
and how to present yourself when in attendance of one.
Okay so we’ve all been there. Interviews can be pretty daunting stuff especially as there’s quite a few things to consider. Primarily, it is important you look professional and presentable. First impressions are everything and can be the deal breaker with any given job (or situation for that matter). Remember, you want to stand out and for all of the right reasons. “How do I do that?” some of you may ask. Well as cliché as it may sound this can be achieved by allowing your personality to shine through in both your behaviour and outfit. I always try to inject some of my personality into my outfit regardless of whether I’m expected to dress in a formal manner. You can do this by adding some colour to your outfit or incorporating different silhouettes, prints and textures to it. For instance, you could swap your frumpy, shapeless trousers for a pair of fitted cigarette ones or simply add a skinny black belt to your straight-cut dress.
Below is a selection of outfits that I’ve put together to have you feeling and looking as good as can be. After all… if you look good, you feel good. For those of you who are hoping to replicate these looks, all items featured are currently available to purchase on the high-street or online. Happy shopping!
Before I get ahead of myself and forget, how many of you have recently graduated and currently looking for a job? Or, how many of you are in need of a new challenge and thereby looking to transition to a new company? Hmm! Quite a few of you I see. I can imagine you’ve spent a fair bit of time looking through countless job sites hoping to find your ‘dream’ job. It’s a lot harder than you had anticipated right?... especially when you’ve already applied to all of the current positions on all of the job sites you’re familiar with. Ah! Well what if I told you there's a new job site in town. Yes, you heard right. Browse thousands of jobs online with City Calling. Ha! I bet I have your full attention now ey? Make sure you guys check them out as I know how difficult it can be to get your foot in the door within the working world. For each job advertised there’s hundreds of candidates, if not more, applying for that position. Competition is FIERCE but let’s not forget that once you’re in, you’re in.
I also feel it’s important of me to tell you guys not to be disheartened if the final outcome of your interview is not successful. Instead consider it to be a part of your working experience and a way to better prepare yourself for the next one. After all, interviews are a great way of strengthening your ability to conduct yourself in a professional manner and enables you to practice selling your expertise. Practice makes perfect and you’ll soon find that once you have been to a few interviews the rest will almost be a breeze. Good luck :)

Product Review | L'Oréal False Lash Superstar Mascara
Ciao ♥ Every once in a while I come across a product that I
want to shout from the rooftops about. This time around it’s L’Oréal’s False
Lash Superstar which has me losing my voice, and rightfully so. But before I
begin and in case anyone is interested, I previously reviewed two other L’Oréal
mascaras which you can read by simply selecting: Miss Manga or Volume Million Lashes So Couture. Now the unintentional plugging is out of the way, let’s get
on with it.
Every so often I get the odd person or two asking me
what mascara I use as they’re super impressed with the length of my lashes. Heck!
I’ve even had a few people ask if I have eyelash extensions. I don’t but what I
do have is clearly more mascara than sense. I know which ones work and which
ones don’t. Now that’s saying something as if you’ve read my previous product
reviews you’d know that I don’t usually take very well to new products,
especially mascara, upon first application. It’s almost as if there’s an
instant dislike button in my head and the product has to do everything in its
power to gain my affection.
L’Oréal’s False
Lash Superstar mascara is made up of two wands, on
opposite ends, featuring two different products. The first is a primer which individually
coats your lashes in a white formula helping to thicken its appearance. The second is a top coat which ‘applies
a black fibre enriched formula that perfectly coats your lashes’. Like all mascaras, I find this
one works best when
Upon seeing the size of the brushes I was a bit apprehensive as to how much I’d like this product as I’ve NEVER been a fan of a skinny mascara brush. I’ve always said the bigger the brush, the more volumised your eyelashes are going to be. However, after using this mascara for a good month or so, I can happily confirm that it has exceeded my expectations and has become a go-to product in my make-up routine. Not only does it separate and lengthens my lashes but I haven't had a single eyelash clumping together problem. I've also found that it doesn't cause my eyelashes to go hard after application but still leaves them feeling quite soft, meaning that make-up removal at the end of the day is rather easy. The only downside to this product is that although the top coat formula is black, it's not an intense enough black for me. Therefore, I often use it in combination with Maybelline's Lash Sensational mascara which does the job. Overall, L’Oréal has got it right yet again.
Have any of you tried this product? If so, what are your thoughts? Also, what is your current favourite mascara, or beauty product for that matter? I’d love to know :)

Not the best picture or pose but I wanted you guys to see what this mascara looks like on.
