OOTN. Black & White.



 
I recently celebrated my birthday on the 15th of this month,  as always I had an amazing time thanks to my wonderful family and friends. on the Friday we went to a lovely little Turkish restaurant and I had a lovely meal, Meat balls between Aubergine topped with roasted tomato and peppers. The restaurant is run by a lovely couple and the wife cooks all of the courses herself, the atmosphere in the restaurant is really lovely and relaxed with its Turkish décor soft music and artefacts  I could tell that the owners had put a lot of work into this restaurant, it reminded me of Morocco. If you live in or around Norwich you should try it out. Yemek Yemek
After the Meal my Cousin and I decided to go out and dance the night way,  we had a really good time so much so that  we didn’t go to bed until 5am !!!   (you only live once)
On Saturday which was my actual birthday, I woke up to the most amazing breakfast and lots of presents. I chilled most of the day trying to recover from the previous night.
I'd arranged  to go out with a friend for dinner (well that’s what she told me we would do) which was all a trick, my mum and friends had planned a surprise party. My birthday was perfect.
I haven’t posted an OOTD/N post in over a year so I thought that I’d share with you my outfit for that evening.

Ultimate Collections.


 

 
I've spent the past few weeks really focusing on Ultimate collections ordering new stock, working on the packaging and designing the business cards. There are so many small businesses around a the moment all selling such beautiful jewellery clothes and accessories, however I can never understand how and why they are So expensive? I understand that the main purpose of  a business is ultimately to gain an  income, but me myself couldn't justify spending £40.00 to £60.00 on jewellery or accessories. When I first decided to start Ultimate collections I made a conscious  decision that the Jewellery is affordable for everyone, after all you  shouldn't have to spend lots of money to look good.
 
With it being my birthday this month I've been thinking about having a Giveaway or collaborating with another Blogger/shop owner, if your interested or know of someone who maybe interested I would love to hear from you.

MAC.






So I finally purchased my 2nd MAC lipstick to add to my slowly growing collection,  I decided to go for a classic red lipstick as I think that a Classic Red lip adds a touch of chic to most looks I also think that if you have a powerful red lip there is no need to go heavy with the rest of your makeup.
My original plan was  to treat myself to Chanel’s Rouge Allure but once on I found that it didn’t suite me at all,  I tried a few lipsticks by Chanel but didn’t fall for any of them so I ended  up in MAC.
After at least 45 minutes of trying on different shades I finally decided to go for Viva glam 1 which I’m very pleased with, however I now feel that I should have purchased the lip liner at the time? This is something I will definitely go back for when I get the chance.
What do you think about lip liners ladies, are the absolutely necessary when wearing red lipstick??
I’m really loving colourful lips at the moment and I’m looking forward to buying more, are there any others you suggest that I try out? are any of you ladies using lipsticks by Nars, I really want to know what they are like…..
