My bronzer broke...

So this happened...

                                           

I sort of dropped my bronzer... It was an accident and I would never do anything to hurt it.
Anyway, I took this opportunity to go for a mini make up haul. 






My shopping spree started off by replacing my broken bronzer. I bought the sun club bronzer in blondes by Essence. I am one of those people that once they find something they like, they probably won't try anything else every again. So I found this and I love it. The colouring it just right, it is perfectly pigmented for me. I bought a mini one as to stop this horrible habit of mine. Once it's finished I promise to try out a new one. 

 I then picked this up from somewhere. #21 Fuso. I just love how neutral it is. It's perfect for french manicures or even plain and I can wear it to school without hassling with having to try hide my fingers when I'm around my teachers. 





Then I headed off to MAC to have a look and somehow I walked out with a shopping back and this inside it. Amber Lights (frost) is such a beautiful colour and it suits everyone. It is just one of those essential colours to have. 


I walked out of The Body Shop with this fun little eye shadow - #02 eye shimmer. I love the container so much, I might have bought it just for that. I'm just kidding, but in all seriousness, I love the colour, it's a creamy white with a nice subtle shimmer.  It isn't very pigmented, which I really like too. 



Now, all of this happened while I was out shopping with my dad; so the fact that I got all of this is pretty good. Apparently I'm into beige at the moment, I'll try to be more colourful next time.

TOPSHOP

After many years of yearning for a Topshop to open in Cape Town, it finally happened. 
Topshop opened at the V & A Waterfront on Thursday, which makes it super new. 
Luckily for me. I am fortunate enough to be quite well traveled and have had the advantage of experiencing the best of the best shops overseas. This has also made me well adept in knowing my sizes -- most useful thing ever. 
As I walked up the stairs to go to the shop, I heard the pumping music Topshop always has playing and as I walked in I felt at home. 
I knew the setup, my sizes and how to elbow my way through a crowd. 

I headed off to the fitting rooms, which was a bit of a nightmare but that was to be expected. Chose my new stuff and headed out. 

Since crop tops were literally everywhere in 
the store, I figured I'd go for some. 

 The first being a leopard print bra crop top which is a lot of fun and I seriously love animal prints so that was right up my alley. It's soft and doesn't make me look like a slut when I wear it which is honestly perfect. 

Then came this little mint lace number which I love. Once it's on I don't want to take it off. It's kind of one off those. 

Both tops were reasonably prices which makes life beautiful. 
Obviously, the leopard print bra crop top thing 
(I really don't know what to call it) 
was more expensive, but I'll get so much wear 
out of it , so it's fine. 

I bought some other things, but those will pop in other posts.

All in all; I was very impressed with the shop and the prices and I can't wait to go back!

Firsts.

There is always a first time for everything. 
First meals. First kisses. First plane rides. First blog posts. 
First things happen and they are either good or bad. So here is to a new start. 

I can't tell you what what type of blog this will be; it's pretty open ended, but it may involve fun fashion and lifestyle tips idk. 
C'est sera sera. 
Excuse me being a tad pretentious -- it sometimes happens.
