Minty-Melt-at-the-knees Makeup Day!

This was me today!

Using my delights from Madison street Beauty a vegan makeup brand from etsy.com

I use the same colours as in my mermaid makeup tutorial which you can read here except I maximised the amount of shade Mermaid used to give a more 'blue hue' rather than green and used less of the Sea Foam which is more of a greenish colour.

I made the lips a whole lot paler than I usually do to fit with the whole 'pastel' I was going for. I used Lovelorn lipstick from MAC and dabbed on with my finger over my lips a white eyeshadow, if you do it super lightly and then press your lips together it looks like a new and updated lipstick shade!

On my legs are minty jeans from H&M and top is years old something like four maybe even five years old from a Next outlet store!

Me likey when fashion comes back around and you still have your clothing from the first rotation of it!

Mermaid Makeup - Wearable!

If you've been reading my blog for a while, you'll know I have a secret love affair with pastels but especially mint! Spearmint, peppermint, and any kind of bluey-greeny pale mint colour!
Yesterday I went for the mermaid-y look, if you fancy trying out the hair then check yesterdays post! For the makeup, keep reading!

Clouds of mint green

I am very excited that pastel colours are deemed the 'in' colours of this and next season. I've always had a huge love for that pastel mint colour, a kind of bluey-green that is just delicious to look at but findig clothes in such a specific colour is not always so easy, until now!
I came across this jacket which I am just drooling over

I love the stud detail, and the colour is just so perfect! I found it on Pinterest, so where it came from will probably be forever a mystery!

I love this mint satchel

Although I put my bags through their paces so I imagine the suede would get grubby pretty quickly

and finally, what I love the most are these mint jeans, which unfortunately look as though they've sold out, which is too bad as I imagine these to look perfect with some crisp white shoes!

Sweet peppermint dreams! And do you like the pastel trend?
