H! By Henry Holland

Whilst I was at the Benefit Blogger Event, we got invited up to see the new H! By Henry Holland department to have a wee browse of the collection. Debenhams at Aberdeen has recently undergone a big revamp including the beauty hall and introduced new clothing departments. We had a personal shopper, Sophie, at hand to answer all our questions about the collection and we were left to peruse at our leisure.

The collection itself is very cutesy, fun and there were some really crazy prints and style! I particularly enjoyed the detail gone into some items such as the lace on the shorts and the studs on the leather jacket. Most of the items are perfect for the summer if you're planning a trendy city break or going for a night time walk by the beach.

We were given a styling challenge to come up with an outfit with the H! By Henry Holland collection. We could go into the store with a friend and style it for them or for ourselves. I've not had a chance to go back to the department this week due to work commitments but I've had a good look on the website and here is what I've come up with...

Top | Shorts | Denim Jacket | Bag | Sandals

Since festival season is coming up, I decided to come up with a simple festival style outfit. And obviously the denim jacket is optional until the evening where it may get a bit chilly!

What do you think of the collection?

current makeup

I'm always moving and changing up my makeup storage. I'm never fully satisfied unless I find a mess free way of doing it. Over the past few weeks, I've done a lot of clearing out and organising my room so I hit up TK Maxx and I found this storage tin. I loved the vintage-y effect of it so I thought it would be a great way of storing the makeup that I currently use. Lets delve inside...

• Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation: I'm currently rationing this foundation so I can save up enough Boots points to purchase another one. One of my favourite foundation and is so light to wear.
• Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation: You can read my full review of this foundation here. I love this foundation for daytime use. Great coverage and it's so inexpensive as well.
• MAC Lustre Drops - Pink Rebel: Amazing liquid highlighter. I like using it in the Spring/Summer time especially for that extra bit of glow. You can read my full review of this product here.
• Garnier Roll On: For those mornings where I've only had 5 hours sleep. Wakes up the under eye really well but if you're looking for a full coverage under eye concealer, this probably won't manage to do the job.
• Revlon Just Bitten Balm Stain - Honey: You never hear much about these nowadays do you? It's like they came and went as quickly as people were churning out their reviews. I still love mine, mainly for the fact it smells minty.
• Topshop Cream Blush - Flush: One of my favourite cream blushes of all time. Love this in the Summer months.
• Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil: For eyebrows. 
• HD Brows Palette: I got this in a Glossybox AGES ago. I didn't like using it at first because it was in the completely wrong colour for me but I use the darkest colour with a light hand and it's fills in my brows quite nicely.
• NARS Cream Blush - Penny Lane: Current blush love! It was on my wishlist for a very long time and with my very first paycheck, I popped this into my basket and skipped happily away :)
• MAC Quad - Quarry, Naked Lunch, Satin Taupe, Vanilla: My most used MAC eyeshadows. I hit pan on three shades so I pretty much use them whenever I wear eyeshadow. Don't quote me on the last shade though, I can't quite remember what the name of it is.
• Majolica Majorca Cream Eye Pencil: One of my best finds in HK. I probably won't buy another brand of pencil eyeliner after using this!
• Maybelline 24 hour Colour Tattoo - On and On Bronze: My lazy day must have. One swipe of this on my eyelids and I'm ready to go!
• MAC Painterly Paint Pot: I use this mainly as an eye base before apply any eyeshadow. Acts as a great eye primer if you're not into the more liquid eye bases.
• Maybelline The Falsies Mascara: Been testing the waters of this mascara and I'm not quite sure how I feel about it yet. The jury is still out on this one!
• Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler: My eyelashes are typical Asian eyelashes so this is an amazing eyelash curler that actually does what it is meant to do. 

I rarely switch up my makeup. I have the 'use up what you already have before buying any more' mentality so this little makeup kit does me quite nicely!

What are your current makeup products?
