Paradoxal Dupe from 2True

I know these have been compared in the past but I had to share this for those of you that have missed it especially as right now you can buy 3 2True products for £4.99 from Superdrug here (£1.99 each)

I haven't splashed out on Chanel Paradoxal myself as 1. I don't love it enough to spend that kind of money and 2. I already have this shade (no.46) from 2True which is close enough for me! It was super difficult to photograph but hopefully you can make out the purple/blue shimmer running through the taupey-greige polish. I think the polish itself needs to be a touch more purple to be a true dupe but it's pretty darn close I'm sure you'll agree  and at £1.99 what have you got to lose?...well... £1.99 I suppose.

I couldn't do a dupe post without a photo of the original swatch, could I? So I had to borrow this one from  Lacquerized.com. Click on the photo to be taken to their original review post.

Outfit Month #1

I've decided I am going to blog my outfits every day throughout September.

It's my last month at work before I take my maternity leave. I don't have as much time as I'd like to dedicate to blogging and YouTube but this will guarantee a post every day even if it's not much more than a photo and a one liner. I will have at least 5 weeks at home before the baby comes s I intend to throw myself at MissBudgetBeauty and see what I can make of it while I have the time.. I'm really looking forward to it. Anyway.. on to the post. You shouldn't expect much in the way of elaborate or designer gear but so few of my clothes actually fit me now it's forcing me to be more creative so I figured.. why not document it? Hopefully you find the posts entertaining or even inspirational for those of you fellow preggos out there.

Today I wore my beloved TopShop maternity leggings (you will see A LOT of them) and a white primark vest under a "baggy" boyfriend shirt I bought a million years ago from GAP. On my nails I have 2True shade no.6 which is a fab dupe for Chanels Paradoxal btw (I've tried to get pictures but it photographs terribly) My necklace is the hamsa hand charm I bought on ebay and put on some random chain and my bag is from Oasis. It's also likely you will see my daily breakfast which will no doubt be highly embarrassing for me as I am the least health conscious pregnant woman... don't judge me!

Oh and for those wondering my phone case is from ebay!

Please excuse the terrible angle which makes my nose looks MONSTER but a quick beauty breakdown...

Garnier BB Cream in Light (I'm going to stick with it all month to really test it's benefits) MAC MSF in Natural Light, MAC Peaches Blush, Accessorize bronzer in Laguna to highlight, Eyebrows are filled in with  "espresso" by MAC. I have Sumputous Olive on my eyes and lined them with Avon Glimmerstick in Black (review to come... it's not favourable so far but I'm trying to stick with it) I used Benefits "They're Real" on my lashes.. I have more thoughts on that since my initial review too!

I have nothing on my lips which is usual for me.. I don't often wear gloss or lipstick for work.. not my style.

Is anyone else going to join me and blog your outfit every day this month? I loved the "Vlogust" idea last month and I might do something like that video-wise when I'm home all the time but in the meantime this is a little easier to stick to... apologies in advance if some posts are shorter than others!
