Red carpet worthy look for guys

Fashion isn't something I usually post about, so men's fashion is literally unheard of for me - but I'm thinking I'd rather style a guy than style myself, I'm useless with girls fashion but have a small ability to work out guys fashion.
Quite frankly I don't think there's anything nicer for guys than when they have a shirt and tie on, the whole smart look is extremely attractive (don't you think?).
My lovely boyfriend agreed to let me take pictures of him for this post, my brother was just not having me post pictures of his face, so congrats to Connor for being cool enough to do this for me.

Please ignore his smile, its usually a lot less awkward looking than this... 
Connors all grown up and recently has been going on lots of interviews so looking hella smart is what he's been going for, proper suited up. I let him take control of the shirt he picked - couldn't really force him into one he would hate... Or could I? Nah, couldn't do that to the poor boy. The one he eventually picked out after much debating was this lovely little Ralph Lauren number. It's a really nice shirt tbh, but I'm really not a massive brand fan like he is, he's a little bit brand mad. But any way I'm going off topic.
The shirt looks really smart on, and if you are lucky enough to be off to the Baftas tonight then lucky you and have fun looking like a celebrity all dressed up and looking snazzy. The House of Frasers are doing a little coverage of it so if you want to keep up to date withh whats going on you can do so here.
The shirt Connor's wearing is this lovely one*, it actually does look and feel really nice on (yes I just said feel...), so it kinda makes it worth the price your paying for it. Paired with a nice pair of black trousers you can make this smart casual or you could go all out and pair it up with a tie and suit jacket. You could probably even get away with wearing it with a really nice pair of jeans - but I think they would have to be a really nice dark wash (almost black) pair... 

House of Frasers have a huge selection of shirts from lots of brands, you can find them all here, seems to be too much choice! Personally I think if your looking for shirts for work, a formal event or just a classic one to add to your wardrobe House of Frasers is definitely somewhere to look first!
Red carpet looks for women are often really impossible to recreate but men have it pretty easy, they could easily copy the looks of male celebrities. Personally, the last few years I think Bradley Cooper; Eddie Redmayne and Chris Pratt have rocked the red carpets. Boys you should aspire to be them, they look fiiiiiine. 

Who are you looking forward to see the outfits of at this years Baftas?

A Small Paperchase Haul

I'd decided that I needed a summer project, and what better thing to do than build a pretty scrapbook full of memories from the summer and beyond! 
I saw this stunning black paged scrapbook the other day in Paperchase for £10 and had to have it! The cover is just so pretty as well and black pages will be and interesting change to the usual white. I got photo mounts to go with it, just need the pictures to go in now! 
I think I could maybe do something quite impressive with this and make it look pretty stunning! The pens I got along with it should help to make the album look pretty good - I bought a purple, gold, silver and white ones. They'll contrast really well with the black page. 

Have you ever made a scrapbook before?

Best Foundation Ever? | L'Oreal Infallible Matte Foundation Review

I've scheduled so many posts recently meaning I've not actually written a post in ages! Scheduled posts are in short supply now though and my love for this foundation is going strong! 
The foundation is in a plastic squeeze-y tube, different and I find better than the standard glass bottles that are usually used. The packaging is plain and simple, I don't think you could buy a foundation because of packaging - it's jut one of those things that always seems to have really plain bottles/tubes... 
It says it gives a medium coverage and I really think it does, you could easily build it up as well to get a much fuller coverage but I've been finding recently with this I'm not wanting nor needing a full coverage. The coverage it gives me is just perfect for me! 
Despite it being a matte finish, I don't find the finish to be overly flat like some mattes can be. I'm not sure if its how oily my skin is or if it is a slightly dewy finish but I'm really loving this foundation's finish. 
In fact I love everything about this foundation, from the coverage to the finish to how long it lasts. A lot of the time I tend to find that my foundations slip off my face, but not with this! It lasts a really good while, who knows if it lasts the 24 hours it says it does, cause really - who wears their foundation for that long?! I could put this on in the morning though, and still have it looking fairly good by well after dinner time.
When I use this I feel the need to use concealer is dramatically reduced, tending to only really wanting to use concealer every so often on my under eyes when I've had very little sleep.
For £7.99 I don't really think you can go wrong, and if your wanting it be be even more perfect why not try their new matte primer along with it? 

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara | Review

I'm really quite fussy with mascaras, really only loving a handful of them. When I find one I love I don't let go until I'm basically scraping it from the edges. Maybelline's newest - is it their newest? - mascara is my new love. 
I looks the same as any other Maybelline mascara does, the packaging is the same shape but the wand is different from the others - I think the wand is maybe the only thing that changes with these... 

The wand is a sturdy rubbery wand, that's slightly curved with both long and short bristles  - so it really gets in there grabbing all the lashes! 
I've found that with this mascara I only need one coat - it gives a really nice dark, thick and long looking lash. Everything I want and more from a mascara!
