Ok so. I’m looking for a purse and I can’t decide if this is a stupid idea, or fun:

I was also thinking of getting a black structured purse for every other setting.

Fruit purse looks really wide. Are you gonna be the girl on the subway with the giant wide bag constantly bumping into people? It would be better as a weekend bag than something you carry around town.
Black one is nice. Who makes it?

I got a black corduroy jumper at Primark today! I'm a big fan. You can't tell in this photo but it also has side pockets in addition to the big front pocket. I want to wear it with black tights when it's colder, but I need to get a pair of tights that I don't have to be constantly pulling up first.

True, in the pictures it seems smaller than it actually is. I thought it would be a cute touch since I wear very formal outfits, mostly black, to work. I’ll probably stick with a funky graphic tote or something.

So I got a big sample of Ahava mineral body lotion in my ipsy bag this month. I love what it is doing for my hands after only a couple of days, but it smells like absolute ass to me. Like someone ate a dirty diaper then breathed in my face.

I see on the Ahava website that the mineral body lotion comes in other scents; has anyone tried this as a scented lotion? Are the scented ones tolerable? I'm mostly interested in the cactus and pink pepper scent, or the springtime scent.
 
That jumper is adorable. Let us know how the quality is!
So I received the jumper and the top. The jumper I got was in a size 8. The fabric has no stretch. It does fit true to size so if you want a looser fit, sizing up is recommended. Overall, the print is really great and the straps are removable. I’m really short though, so I’m going to have to adjust the straps. Beware of the buttons though. Sometimes they are not sewn on that well and do not be surprised if a button falls off.

The top I ordered was in a size 6. The fabric is stretchy, so I was able to fit in it. If I were to get a top like this again, I’d probably get it in a size 8 to be more comfortable. The color looks exactly like it does in the photo. This top also looks great with the apple jumper.

Overall 8/10 experience
 
Did some online dress shopping this week, because I have a lot of special occasion events to go to in the next month or two.

I'm going to a wedding next month, and the family was told to wear "gemstone-like colors" for pictures. I picked this dress from Voodoo Vixen:

And for another special occasion coming up, I picked something up from The Pretty Dress Company. I haven't owned a classic "little black dress" in a while, and the design of this just caught my eye. I don't think I'm Audrey Hepburn or anything ... But it sure feels nice to try to feel like her a little bit (and I think this dress succeeds in making me feel a liiiiittle bit like Holly Golightly, haha):

In this photo, the trim and the bow look much lighter than in person. It's a satin-y champagne color rather than an off-white in real life.
 
What's the longest lasting liquid lipstick you've tried? For me it's Maybelline Superstay but i always need more liquid lipstick in my life

The Maybelline one is pretty amazing. Still one of my favorites.

Beauty Bakerie is super long lasting as well (you definitely need makeup remover to get it off), but I bought myself a tube of it earlier this Summer, and I hated the formula (too drying, settles into lines, and feels tacky!). Lots of people love it though, so I'm in the minority when I hate on it. Thought I'd mention it.

I haven't tried the Jeffree Star liquid lipstick formula, but I know so many people who swear by it. So much so that some people use them as eyeliner.
 
That maybelline is hella long lasting, I agree. The longest-lasting I have ever tried is still Lime Crime.
Just Googled... so many good matte shades I must have them!!! But beautybay doesnt stock it D: where can I get this take my money pls

this definitely sounds right for me! i gotta get me some of that stuff, where did you pick it up? i got a really moisturising one from stila that you should try if you prefer less tacky ones it doesn't come off on your glass when you drink until the very end of the day but its nowhere near as long lasting as maybelline

The mattes (velvetines) are definitely their best formula in my opinion. I do wish you got more product for the money. My advice would be to wait for other people to respond with options you can try before you drop a bunch of money on an order of Lime Crime.

I live in the US so I'm not sure how many of these vendors will ship to you but nordstrom, bloomingdales, dollskill, urban outfitters, riley rose, and ulta all stock Lime Crime, though stock selection may vary. Also, lime crime has an "official" amazon (again, not sure how this would show up for you on amazon.uk or wherever you are).

Finally, Lime Crime does ship internationally from their official site. Years ago there was a security breach on their website and people don't want to let it go (muh cancel culture) but I have never, ever had a problem buying direct from Lime Crime.

I ordered mine from the brand's website: https://www.beautybakerie.com/

To my knowledge, you can also find Beauty Bakerie stuff at Ulta now.

I may just give the Stila ones a try! I've yet to dislike a Stila product, honestly. They make consistently awesome makeup.

too many good shades i need them all they are perfect.. also really feeling their metallic collection - this one is so nice i love it https://www.limecrime.com/lipsticks/velvetines-metallic-lipstick/happi-rose-bronze
found some on amazon too which seems legit and isn't too expensive. definitely a worthwhile investment as i wear liquid lipstick always whether it's a going out look or just a natural dressed down look

I may just give the Stila ones a try!
the one i have is called stay all day it's such a creamy & luxurious formula feels so velvety and nice when you put it on but it dries down quite quickly, which is perfect.. i just wish it lasted a little longer

thanks for the recommendations ladies <3
