I recently came across Forever 21 and their 4 for 2 sale on selected jewellery and decided to take the opportunity to spice up my jewellery stand with a few gems. I'm fairly lazy when it comes to accessorizing, but I love the idea of statement necklaces and earrings and want to try be more adventurous and glam up more often. Unfortunately the offer is no longer available, however a few of the items are still on the sale section and available to add to your wishlist.
Forever 21 always has such a wide range of accessories and I personally think it's the most glamorous part of the shop - just a tad overwhelming for a jewellery-newbie like myself. The quality is great and the prices are similar to that of New Look yet cheaper than Topshop. I've never tried any jewellery from F21 before, but the quality at first glance seems perfect. (The prices shown are sale prices, the offer meant that I got them for half the shown price).
Faux Gemstone Chandelier Earrings - £2.99
Standount Chandelier Aqua/Teal Ombre earrings - £3.99
Subtle Glam Chandelier Earings in Ivory/Gold - £3.99
Gone Boho Leaf Earrings in Gold/Coral- £2.99
Goddess Chandelier Earrings in Coral/Gold - £3.99
I hope you've enjoyed this post. Let me know which ones are your favourites and show me some of the great finds you have found at forever 21 lately in the comments below.
Have a great day

The past month I have been really loving the Expert Face Brush by Real Techniques. When I first used this for foundation a few months back I wasn't quite convinced that this was a good brush to use, however now I have mastered the technique and feel that it increases the coverage of your foundation. I'm pretty sure when I first used this brush I stippled on my foundation and it took forever to do - probably why I didn't take a liking to it. Now I do what the brush says and buff the foundation into my skin. This way you don't miss out on any patches so it leaves you with a nice flawless finish. It does take a little bit longer than usual to apply your foundation, but you get a nice even finish.
I also used to use this brush to contour with. The firmness of the brush helps get a defined line in the hollows of your cheek. You could then blend out the contour slightly with the same brush so it doesn't look too harsh. As always, the Real Technique brushes are hard to fault. Have you tried this brush? Let me know what you thought of it in the comments below.

So recently Sleek Cosmetics had a 20% off coupon for everything on the Sleek website. I already have enough of their eyeshadow palettes but I thought I would try out a few more of their blushes. I already have the shades Sahara and Flushed. I got two trio palettes in the shades Pink Lemonade and Flame and then one individual blush in the shade Rose Gold.
I have to apologise about the quality of the swatches, I find it so difficult to give the colour justice.
Above are the swatches Molten, Bon Fire and Furnace from the Flame palette. This palette can look quite frightening and even the swatches are very pigmented, but with a very, very light hand you can get a nice look. I would probably use this palette when I'm more tanned as these won't come across as bright.
The Pink Lemonade palette includes the shades Pink Mint, Macaroon, Pink mint. You really can't go wrong with this palette, everybody loves a nice pink blush and this palette offers a nice selection. The middle swatch, Macaroon, if you may have noticed is a cream blush - which offers a nice change and you can easily layer up the blushes to ensure they last longer.
The individual blush I got is in the shade Rose Gold and boy, I have not seen anything quite like it! You can clearly see the gold specs in the blush but when I swatched this on my hand the gold stood out much more and when you change the angle of the blush it was a nice shimmery pink. I haven't tried this on my cheek yet so I'm not sure if the gold specs are too chunky, but I can imagine it to give a gorgeous highlighting finish that will really make the cheekbones pop.
