Ooooh, the Westfield #BareFacedOrBold challenge just went so quickly… time flies when we are having fun! I am closing the challenge with a pretty, girly and easy to wear look, totally pretty in pink.

Bare black eyeliner: look 4 for Westfield #BareFacedOrBold Makeup Challenge
With look 4, we are just edging away from halfway of Westfield #BareFacedorBold Challenge – and I have to say I quite like this one, as it is a great everyday look very easy to put together. Think everyday at work, with a dash of lip colour to brighten up the autumn.
Bold orange: look 1 for Westfield #BareFacedOrBold Makeup Challenge
When I partnered up with Westfield for the #BareFacedOrBold I saw the bare faced looks as my real challenges, as I don’t often do bare.
Westfield #BareFacedOrBold Makeup Challenge starts on 19 October!
I love Westfield. So much, I live only 7 minutes walking from one – ok, I didn’t move because of it, but my boyfriend joked that I wouldn’t really need the flat, as I’d live inside Westfield!
Needless to say, I was delighted when they approached me to take part on their #BareFacedorBold Challenge, to create six looks; three bold (yay) and three bare-faced ones.
Nails of the week – purple/gold
This hasn’t been a good week for my nails; two days after doing my manicure, I broke a nail and had to cut them all short :(. Luckily, I had already taken the pictures for this week’s post!
I am trying a new brand this week, the Milanese brand Kiko. The have this quite impressive shop in Westfield Stratford City, with lovely make up and a huge range of varnishes.
Everytime I am there, I go in to take a look – I just cannot resist – and this time I picked up this varnish from a new range, Hologram Nail Lacquer. I chose number 354, a purple leaning towards dark mauve with very pretty gold and golden green shimmer. This polish is a duochrome, and although not as spectacular as the one I wore last week, it is rather nice, and however subtle, you can definitely notice the colour variation.
It shimmers big time when it catches light, it is extremely glittery, but no flakes, so it has a smooth and shiny finish. Application was alright; the brush is wide enough and the polish has a good consistency. However, it is rather sheer, one coat doesn’t do much, two is kinda ok but I needed three to realise its full potential – a little bit too much for me. It lasts well and doesn’t chip easily, and that’s a big plus for me.
Overall, I am not dazzled but pleased with my purchase, which wasn’t the cheapest around, at £5.90 a bottle (their other polishes, not from the Hologram line, are priced at £4.90), but the quality is good and the shade pretty, and I must say I am looking forward to maybe trying make up items from Kiko Make up Milano!
