Nine X Lingerie - Babydoll Review

Today I'm going to be reviewing this gorgeous babydoll by Nine X Lingerie! Once they got in contact with me to review a piece of theirs I just had to accept - I've had a few pieces from Nine X before from when I've bought some lingerie for modelling!

They sent me the gorgeous Mira Satin and Mesh Babydoll - I chose to have it in the colour Turquoise because it looked absolutely stunning!

I got the babydoll in a size 22, just because I like to have a little extra room in my lingerie to compensate for my girls! When wearing the babydoll you can see that I opt to wear without straps sometimes, for me it holds up quite well without the the straps. For me personally, with the straps it pulled the piece quite high up, which is good for those who may have issues with showing too much cleavage! 

The overall aesthetic and feel to the piece is wonderful and absolutely beautiful - the piece has 2 mesh panels at the side which are clear which is absolutely love! It just separates the piece up a bit and gives it a little sexier twist!

On the front of the piece you have a scalloped lace detail on the hem of the top and bottom of the babydoll and on the back you have the same piece of scalloped lace on the top but on the bottom you just have the satin material run straight down. Back to looking at the front of the babydoll, the straps are of a stretchy material, they are very comfortable as well! There is a little black bow on the front of the babydoll in the centre of the lower bust line.

Overall I really love this piece, it has enough sexiness to not be too over bearing for those who may want to be a little subtle but enough cheekiness with the mesh on the side to still be sexy; its really comfortable and is so comfy to sleep in as well! I would get a male's opinion but I have no male to give me one... But I'm sure it will definitely be a hit with your significant other too! I'd super recommend this product and Nine X is such a fantastic company - especially due to the fact I've not been able to blog and being understanding that I couldn't do the review right away. 

This product is available in sizes 8 - 24 and is available in Black, Purple, Red, Turquoise and White.

Yummy Bee Babydoll Review

I thought I would start reviewing some of the lingerie that I own, I know quite a few people who are plus size, do struggle with confidence issues, and what better way to help you find lingerie and also help me carry on building confidence then to start doing these reviews! 

I have these 2 Yummy Bee babydolls, both the same style in Black and White. These are the Sequin Embroidered Babydolls. These are available in a range of colours and from sizes 8-26. This is a 2 piece set (1 Babydoll + 1 thong) per set.These are really comfy for even lounging about the house in. I only have one snag about these, and that's the material on the bust can be a little bit irritating on the puppies, so I opt to wear a bra with mine, however if you just want to sew on some simple padding you can as this wouldn't effect the whole look of the babydoll! They  also have  ribbon just below the bust which is just a really sweet aesthetic touch. The bottom of the babydoll is also hemmed with a silk ribbon, again another simple touch.The materical is super soft as well and isn't at all that irritating, they are also super comfy to sleep in!

My absolutely favourite part is that these have adjustable straps - I super love items that have this, it means that I can adjust it to make it comfortable for me!

I bought these in a size 16-18 and these were £!5.99 - Buy here

Halloween OOTW; Seductive Devil

I know this is 4 days late, HOWEVER, I thought I'd show you guys my outfit I wore to a gig I was part of last night for Halloween! I worked with a few friends from a range of different bands last night for a Halloween music evening! Its a venue, we all know very well as we all play there a lot - and the landlords asked us if we would do a little collab evening with a few seasonal bands for their Halloween evening, so we said yes! We did a lot of cover songs in our own style, and we all came dressed up in different outfits which was amazing! I chose for a seductive devil, just cause its quick and simple and I wont sweat the majority of make-up off when I'm on stage! (I know that's horrible, but in a crowded venue, with lights on you and in costume, it does get rather hot up on stage!).

Make-up Tutorial 

Step 1 Face Preparation - Start off with your normal daily make-up routine. With mine I start off with my Simple and Freederm spot creams,  (if I have bad spots) I apply my MUA Cover & Conceal Natural Concealer and then my Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer. After I then apply my Miss Sporty So Energetic Foundation. (I know a lot of people tend to use expensive products, but during the summer with the heat my make-up tends to just come off and this foundation is perfect as its light and actually has really good coverage, plus I was going on stage and didn't want my face to come off!). I then apply my Natural Collection Face Powder and then my Prime Magic Eye Primer! You don't want to apply your mascara yet, I tend to do this after applying my eye-shadow.

Step 2 Eyes - I start off with my Victoria Jackson 24/7 Make-up Palette, this is perfect to fit in your handbag too! I begin with the top nude colour just as a base before applying the darker colours when blending. I then apply the darkest colour of the three on the palette across my eyelid but not above the crease (don't worry if you go a little over, you can just blend this in). Before blending, then apply the red colours, I start with a pinky red (the lower circle) as a base and then I applied the darker red (upper circle) and blended together. As a finishing touch I used a shimmery black eye-shadow in the crease of my eyelid just to add that little extra pow! You then want to apply a super thin line of eye-liner I used my H&M Liquid Dipliner. (I also added a light brown/hazel colour to my eyebrows cause mine are never normally visible due to my fair hair. Then you can add your mascara!

Step 3 Lips - Just like in my Rockabilly Zombie costume, I did my lips exactly the same, instead of going out to buy a new lipstick which I will probably not wear again till next Halloween  I just thought I'd get inventive. I used my Maybelline Super Stay 24 Hour Lipstick again and added a shimmery black eye-shadow  In fact I got this cute little palette about 5 years ago in a magazine, I never used it before, and the black is a little smashed but it still works perfectly! After applying your first layer of the lipstick and you've let it dry, add your eye-shadow  only dab the shadow on and make sure too much isn't on your brush. Then apply a top coat and use the setting gloss on top and your done!

Bargain Buy - Electric Blue Heels

Yesterday morning I popped into my local town to run some errands and meet up with some friends and I, who I am always up for a brilliant bargain went into the Salvation Army Charity Shop. As per always I went straight to the shoe section (which is right next to the hair accessories section!) saw these beautiful shoes!

These shoes are an Electric Blue Patent Platform heel. These are quite high at around 9cm; but with the platform the shoe doesn't actually feel as high as they look! I am one of those people who can't physically wear heels all day long and get no pain whatsoever. My feet will ache, but these shoes feel as if they are padded in the actual inside of the shoe! I bought these beautiful shoes for just a small £4.99! 

These shoes and me were just meant to be! I got these shoes in a size 5 1/2 (UK size!) which is my exact shoe size! 

Proof that going to charity shops are the way forward in fashion!
