REVIEW! Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2013 Show

After watching the Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2013 show which took place yesterday on YouTube, I was left extremely impressed and incredibly jealous of all those who were lucky enough to attend! The start of the show gave me goosebumps just from watching on a laptop screen, so I can only imagine how those actually inside the venue felt. At the start of the show, the atmosphere in the venue seemed absolutely amazing as eerie music played into the dark room. A dark material was then removed from the glass roof exposing the room to daylight, then the show got underway.
 
Here's a link to the full show on YouTube...
The Burberry Prorsum Womenswear Spring/Summer 2013 Show 
 
The female models donned minimalistic make-up, looking like they had next to nothing on their eyes, but with very defined cheek bones. The make-up was very natural but was then amplified by red lips. The soft, flowing hair made sure that no attention was taken away from the gorgeous collection.
 





Here is what I loved...
  • The show assured that metallics are going to be a big hit for all garments; pencil skirts, jackets, t-shirts, shoes, shorts, you name it. The pointed metallic wedges which came in a variety of colours complimented any ensemble they were paired with, and the pop of colour brought the neutral toned garments to life.

  • I thought the tailored leather jackets were stunning, if I could afford the price tag of the cropped off-white leather jacket I would definitely buy it in a heartbeat!

  • Overall, my favourite garment was an ivory figure hugging satin pencil dress, which would look excellent on a curvy woman as the waist is really brought in and has a tiny peplum-esque detail to draw attention to it.

  • The finale of the show was wonderful. Each model wore a metallic trench coat paired with the metallic wedges whilst receiving a well-deserved round of applause.



What I didn't love so much...
  • I really didn't rate the 3/4 sleeved HUGE jacket, I think maybe if it was fitted the combination of the material, colour and large pockets would make it perfect. Unless you are Gaga, if so then just leave it as it is.

  • I also wasn't a fan of the large leather jacket worn by Cara Delevingne, as with the 3/4 sleeved jacket, if it was fitted it would look gorgeous, especially on the naturally beautiful Miss Delevingne!

  • For a runway show, I enjoyed seeing metallic on metallic as it somehow worked and made the whole event more aesthetically interesting, but to make the metallic pieces more ready to wear, each ensemble should maybe only have one metallic garment. For example, there was a really lovely metallic pencil skirt which would look amazing paired with a plain jersey t-shirt and a chunky necklace.

Skincare Routine

Image
Starting with the morning, as I tend to not wear foundation in the daytime, but need other products such as my concealer to blend onto my skin nicely, I make sure I always use a moisturiser with an SPF of at least 30, regardless of the time of year. This is important when using the Alpha H Liquid Gold, as the active ingredients make skin much more sensitive to any rays and more likely to contract sunburn. The moisturiser I opt for is Elizabeth Arden's Flawless Future Moisture Cream which I find very lightweight and soothing on the skin. Throughout the day if my lips feel dry I apply the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant to them, as learnt from Gabbie Lindley from VelvetGh0st, which makes lips feel moisturised and have a nice sheen to them. If I'm heading out in the evening and want to wear a drying, matte lipstick I will feel like they are primed and smooth enough to do so. I sometimes pop this on my brows too to keep them in place as my friend Georgi...

REVIEW! Mane N Tail The Original Shampoo and Conditioner

Image
  As I tend to rave to everyone and their dog about this line of haircare I thought I would compile my thoughts in a blog post (after two years of no posting – oops!).  I first heard about Mane N Tail from Cosmetics Charlotte on YouTube (Now called CharlottesChance). I immediately ordered the “original” shampoo and conditioner from Amazon to see the results for myself.   From the first wash I was hooked; my hair has never felt so soft and manageable; my unruly curly hair became much easier to style, whether I left it to dry naturally or used a hairdryer. I try to make sure that I don’t use them more than once a week as I am worried that my hair will get used to them and I often take breaks between repurchasing them as I know once I use it in my hair again, I will feel the effects more intensely. The added benefit is definitely the hair growth – if you’re in the market for a product to do this them make sure you purchase a set as I have tried many products cl...

Dear Santa… Pixi Glow Tonic 250ml £18 http://www.marksandspencer.com/glow-tonic-250ml/p/p22424632?&pdpredirect Who doesn’t need an extra glow in this awful weather? I have heard raving reviews about this cult product but for some reason I’ve never picked a bottle up, although they handily stock the Pixi range in Marks and Spencer in the UK. They also sell a cute giftable 100ml for £10 in their Christmas range. (If you’re quick and spend over £35 you may also be eligible to get their advent calendar for £35 too! So total spend is £70 to pick one up, and they are worth over £200) Kate Spade One in a Million “J” Necklace £50 http://www.selfridges.com/GB/en/cat/kate-spade-new-york-one-in-a-million-j-12ct-gold-plated-pendant_133-3003424-WBRU7652/ I love this dainty necklace from Kate Spade and its personal touch of having an initial in the middle as this will look lovely with lower cut necklines on tops and dresses, and if you want to go all High School Musical ...
