My verdict on clogs & current fave

Before I hop in I just wanted to announce that I'll be linking my blog to my Twitter and vice versa~
Dundundunnn! So you can follow me on twitter too! :D

*clapclap*

Anywho on with the CLOGS! Firstly... I like the word you can rhyme it with everything haha. Besides that there has been quite a lot of negative views on clogs, which I'm assuming is due to the old style of clogs (clumpy frumpy and plain EW with no sense of style or closely associated with the kitten heel). However if it's been on the catwalks, it's definitely going to be translated to suit high street shop shelves!

Topshop - LAUREL Patent Buckle Clogs £68 in navey

Comfort and fit: 8/10
The huge platform and chunky heel make walking in them a breeze, but there's a gap where the arch of my foot is so it starts to hurt after a while. Also the fit where the buckles are too lose even though they're a size 3! I can make them a lil smaller though, which is alright. But it kinda alters the original look of it, which always annoys me.
There's a rubber layer on the bottom of it which means super grip! = no slips/trips
Brownie points for that! :)

Look: 6/10

The chunkiness makes your legs look slimmer, but it almost looks like my feet are out of proportion :/ Then again I quite like the overall look, it adds a quirky edge to any outfit. It's doesn't come in black which makes it hard to match up with clothes, but the other options are burgundy, nude and navy. Which I think you should just check your wardrobe before hand, and think which shade goes best with the majority of your clothes!


Overall I think it takes the right outfit and a lot of attitude to pull it off, not for the faint hearted! :)
You need to take a good look around to find the style that you like the best, as there are endless variations of the Clog, but it's an awesome way to update your outfit.

Current fave:
(Shiseido eyelash curlers)

See my recent Sasa haul for info on it~
I love these eyelash curlers! They curl my eye lashes so well without over curling them so they go in that horrible bent angle. It gets most of my lashes (no curlers can ever get the small ones around the inner corner of your eye, you need the miniature curlers to do that)
AND you get a spare inside :)

Sasa haul and recent buys

Phew I managed to make some time for some blogging! ^^
Here's what I bought from Sasa....

I'm so glad a finally managed to get my hands on Dolly wink stuff because all the products are so cute! And I love Tsubasa Masuwaka, she's so pretty. Tsubasa Masuwaka is the model that collaborated with Koji to produce Dolly wink. I was going to purchase the eyelash case but the reviews of it weren't that great. Many people said that it was too flimsy and I already had a eyelash case newho (see last Sasa haul) Now I'm just eagerly waiting to see if Sasa will stock Melliesh porducts, because I really want the nude glosses they have!
I did want to try some BB creams so I read the first recommendation of a BB cream brand and bought it xD I'll do a little review when I've tried it out for a bit.
I ran out of face masks so I bought a popular Olay face mask that's proven to moisturise and even out your skin tone, I will be using this once a week. Oh and I wanted to try an eye mask too which I will use when I get tired eyes, it'll be a temporary solution before I get to have a well deserved lie in.
I was running out of eye make up remover so I opted for a nice rose essence one, I'll be doing a review after I use it for a week.
The eyelash glue that I'm using now is the Eyelure strip lash glue which is really good and dries clear after a while, but I was wondering what it would be like if I used a black eyelash glue as I always use black eyeliner when I wear false lashes. Hopefully it will blend in so I wont have to wait for the clear lash glue to dry.
The Koji eyelash curlers that I bought in my last Sasa haul weren't that great, the shape of it was too small to fit my eyes so it pinches at either sides of my eyes when I use it. That's why I bought the Shiseido eyelash curlers to try, if that fails then I'm going all out to buy the well known holy grail Shu Umera eyelash curlers!
As I always wear mascara and curl my lashes when I wear make up, my lashes can get quite damaged and weak. So I decided to start on a budget eyelash essence that claims to provide eyelashes with nutrients, which strengthens their roots and enhances their tenacity which regular usage.

I'll be doing reviews on each product after a while of testing them out :D
Sasa also sent me a free lil memo pad as a gift


And my most recent buy is...

Revlon nail enamel in 005 Sheer Blush and Palmer's Coco Butter (fragrance free)
I'll take a photo of the varnish on my nails soon~
And I was running out of the coco butter in my miniature bottle so I bought a normal sized bottle to use at home.
