Review | Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette

Over the summer I finally got my hands on the Urban Decay Naked Smokey palette. Believe it or not but it's the first eyeshadow palette that I've purchased from Urban Decay. I've always opted for the more affordable dupes that are out there by brands like Makeup Revolution. But I picked it up on sale and thought I'd see what all the fuss is about.

Haul | H&M

Recently a new H&M opened up in my area and all the people that queued up before the grand opening received a wristband that allowed for 25%. Thankfully, I was one of those people and I managed to pick up some really cute things!

In food,

Dinner @ Shaka Zulu

As part of my birthday surprise, my boyfriend decided to treat me to dinner at Shaka Zulu, Camden. I have always wanted to go here as the pictures look amazing. It is a South African restaurant/bar/club located in Camden. It's quite pricey but the decor is amazing and it doesn't feel like you're in London at all. The whole place is huge and has an African tribal theme throughout!

What I wore in Budapest

Who knew that OOTD posts were so hard to do?! Hats off to all the fashion bloggers who do it so well! I only had 3 outfits to work with and by the third day I was so tired of trying to find inspiration for these pictures! But I thought it'd be nice to do a different post on the blog today!

The Pinafore/Dungarees in this outfit is from H&M, unfortunately I can't find them on the website. I'm sure they still sell it but it could be in store only. They were £24.99. I wanted it to be comfortable so I paired it up with a basic white T-shirt also from H&M and a pair of Converses.

Day 2

I actually picked up this white Bardot top in the sale at Tesco - would you believe?! It's so comfortable with it's small straps to keep it held up and a gathered bottom that tucks under nicely so that you get a nice frilly bottom. It was a bargain at £7! I wore this with a pair of shorts from Next and my Converses.

Day 3

This is probably my favourite outfit (and my Birthday outfit!). These Orange shorts are from H&M and they are super comfortable and cute! They fit so well and can easily be dressed up for an evening outfit! These are were originally £14.99 but are now on sale for £5.99. I wore it with a white frilly bodysuit from Boohoo which I didn't realise till I was there that you could slightly see them through my shorts! They were £14. I had to wear them with flip flops because my feet had cuts and blisters (sorry for the tmi) all over them from wearing heels the night before. I've had these flip flops from Primark for years!

I hope you enjoyed this post - again sorry it's not your average OOTD post! I have a H&M Haul post, including some of the pieces above, coming next week!

Love Always,Neelam xx

In beauty haul,

Beauty Bay; Milani and Zoeva | Beauty Haul #8

I am meant to be saving money so this haul is only a tiny one and really only done because I had to purchase a set of Morphe brushes for my best friend for her birthday - so yes, this is her fault! But I wanted to share with you the three things that I picked up.

In travel,

A week in Budapest

Last week, I went to Budapest, Hungary with my friends for a nice short girly getaway. I thought I'd share some of the things that we got up to! Because this is picture heavy I haven't included any reviews or anything about the trip - but feel free to leave questions below or tweet me at @neelamjayna!
