Curvy Retro-chic Outfit Of The Day

A few weeks ago I found this red polka-dotted dress in my local charity shop for €4. It's a size 14 and I usually only wear a dress size 14 if it cinches in at the waist and then flows out (because of my "child bearing hips" as my mam calls them) so I was taking a risk with this figure hugging number. I teamed it up with a navy belt with a floral buckle that I purchased in Penneys a few years ago and a pair of navy pumps from New Look.

On my face:

Foundation: Max Factor Face Finity 3 in 1 foundation SPF 20 in Beige 55

Face Powder: Bourjois Paris Healthy Balance in Vanille 52

Blush: No7 Natural Blush Tint Powder in Soft Damson

Lips: Barry M Kohl Pencil in Red 25 and 17 lasting Fix Lipstick in Showcase

Eyes: NYC Big bold volume by the lash mascara in extra black

Hair:

I used Hair Flair Curlformers to create a soft curl to my hair style.

I really enjoy finding cheerful colourful pieces like this in charity shops for a small fraction of the price I would have to pay on the high street. 

What do you think of my outfit and do you shop in Charity shops? Let me know in the comments below.

Aussie Miracle Moist and Mega Shampoo & Conditioner Dupes - Head to Aldi

I was flicking through the Aldi special buys magazine today and was intrigued and delighted to see that next Thursday the 29th May Aldi are launching some new Shampoo's and Conditioner's that strikes an uncanny resemblance to the Aussie hair care range which I absolutely love. The products are packaged the same and they have very similar ingredients except this hair care range goes by the name of Carino and costs a fraction of the price.

The Carino Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner contain Australian Macadamia Nut which helps to condition and smooth your hair JUST like the Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo and conditioner. I'm wondering will I get the same healthy nourished feeling for my locks for the unbeatable price of €2.49.

I'm also interested in the Carino Mighty Shampoo and Conditioner which contains a similar ingredient to the Aussie Mega shampoo and conditioner. Kangaroo Paw flower adds life and shine to dull hair giving you that bounce that we all love. Again at just €2.49 a bottle Thursday can't come round quick enough.

     

 

What do you think? I have high hopes and can't wait to try them out. These are subject to availability and when they are gone, they're gone as Aldi says. Aussie prices are from Boots and I worked out a total savings of €18.90 when sticking with the Carino brand. That's a nice little round of cocktails right there ladies! 

Let me know your thoughts in the comments below and be sure to share this with your friends.

Love,

Sarah
