Today I decided I wanted to write about fashion instead of beauty. It's not often that happens, but believe it or not I've always been more into clothes than make-up. It's only recently I've taken such an interest in beauty and the like.

So I'm going to share one of my favourite clothing brands with you - Motel Rocks. Most of you are probably very familiar with this company, they have been around for years and they have some ahh-mazing pieces! My first Motel purchase was back in around 2006 - 7 years ago, can you believe it!? All of my dresses are still in great condition and are also still wearable today. That's one of the things I love most about their clothes, as well as their comfort.

Sometimes I find them a little on the expensive side, and I rarely buy anything full price, but it's easy to find a bargain on their website. They always have a sale on and plenty discount codes floating about! Speaking of discount codes if you use my code jeneralrambling you can get 20% off, any time.

They have something for almost everyone, at the moment there are lots of 90s inspired pieces as well as pretty, feminine prints for summer. I love to mix up my style so it's perfect for me. Geez, you'd think this was a sponsored post with all the gushing I'm doing but seriously I love Motel Rocks, a lot. A LOT. I have around 8 dresses, 4 pairs of trousers and a couple of tops. Probably not as much as some people but I spend a lot of time deciding and deliberating about which things to buy!

A couple of downsides I've discovered is that they don't cater for sizes above 14 (which I am in trousers, so if I size up I won't be able to fit them!) and if you're tall then their mini skirts/dresses are waaay too short (which I also have to watch out for). Lastly if you have a long torso their playsuits are too short (embarrassing cameltoe much?!) Sucks.

Have you ever bought anything from Motel Rocks? If so what, or what do you have your eyes on? Anyone have trouble with their sizing, or something else? Let me know!

ELF Contouring Blusher + Bronzer Duo in St. Lucia | Review + Swatches.

Over a month ago I picked up some more bargains from ELFs online store, they were having up to 50% off and I think the delivery may have been free also. They're always having amazing sales!
I picked up a few things, one of these was the St. Lucia blusher and bronzer duo (£3.75), I'd read that it's a dupe for the NARS Laguna and Orgasm duo. This wasn't the reason I went for it though, I just think the colours are pretty. I'm easily pleased. If you were looking for this to be a dupe then you'd be out of luck. This bronzer isn't matte and the blusher is too light and too pink when blended.

The packaging however is reminiscent of the NARS packaging, slightly rounded and rubberised casing (not quite as rubbery though, so doesn't get so mucky). It's quite large, but not so large you wouldn't be able to carry it around and you can't really complain though as it's housing two products!
I'm not sure but I had a look on the website again and I can only find this duo in the cream version now.

FamousX Eyeshadow Palette - The Leopard | Review + Swatches.

Hello! Sorry for the absence, it's been a busy couple of weeks and I've not managed to write as much as I would normally like to, even with 5 days holiday from work!

This purchase was a spur of the moment kind of buy. I was reading one of Tattooed Tealady's Beauty on a Budget posts - here. One of the palettes stood out to me the most, the Leopard eyeshadow palette by FamousX. I decided I had to have it! At that point in time I was having a slight eyeshadow obsession phase. I saw that it was half price on their website, down from £8.99 to £4.49. I couldn't believe it, such amazing value! It was great value to begin with, but 16 shadows for £4.49, who could resist?! It's back up to full price now, but I assure you, it's worth it.

Surprisingly (for the price), the pigmentation and colour range it outstanding. It truly is, you'll see what I mean from the photos. There is a wide range of shades including burgundy, deep blue, green and a good variance of browns. It was the more unusual shades that got my attention, they are great for creating smokey eye looks that are something a bit different. I tend to go for very neutral colours like browns and greys, but this palette makes me want to try others! There are shimmery shadows as well as a few matte. You really have everything you need from dark crease shades to beautiful highlighting ones.
Be prepared for a lot of photos!

Look at those beautiful colours!
