Wednesday Wishlist | Sports Luxe

Sports Chic


So the Wednesday wishlist is back and today's theme is one that I have been lusting over for quite some time. The sports luxe trend is one of my current favourites, due to the classic combination of style and comfort. Who doesn't love to wear trainers, sweatshirts and still be classed as 'stylish?'

I have been obsessing over the iWatch ever since it launched but sadly the price tag is a little too indulgent for me. Apparently, the newest version (which they are due to release soon) will have FaceTime ability so maybe I'll wait and see.

As loads of you will know, my Michael Kors Rhea Backpack in pastel blue is one of my prised possessions but this new colour is a little too much for me to ignore. The grey shade is absolutely beautiful and it would work lovely with my new spring wardrobe. Do you think it's ever OK to own two colours of the same handbag? I'm sure Kim K would agree with me.

Slogan sweatshirts have been popping up all over the high-street, this one from River Island featuring two of my favourite top models, Kendall and Gigi, is definitely something I'll be purchasing after pay-day. I love the metallic writing and the crisp colour of the sweatshirt - a defo wardrobe must-have for these recent freezing mornings.

I have been after a bomber jacket for a while now and on my hunt for the perfect one I decided that padded ones do not work for me. This could be due to me being slightly petite and shorter in the body but I found that non-padded ones, styled correctly, could work better for me. This grey one from River Island, would work very well into my wardrobe

Beauty Edit | My Favourite Nudes


Happy Monday guys!

I thought I'd kick off this week with a beauty post on one of my favourite topics... MATTE NUDES.

I think Spring is the perfect time for matte nudes as prints and pastels are starting to sneak their way into our wardrobes and we can finally say goodbye to the dark berry toned lipsticks of winter. 


It seems like all thanks to Kylie Jenner, and her Lip Kits (which I'm yet to purchase) matte nudes have been having a bit of a moment. Almost every top make-up house, from drug-store to high-end, have introduced a matte nude into their collections. So I thought now would be a perfect time to run you through some of my favourites.  

First up has to be my trusty and Holy Grail beauty favourite, MAC Velvet Teddy. 
For me, this has to be one of the best nudes for my skin tone. It works perfectly for an everyday nude and teams nicely with numerous eye-shadow looks from night to day. It's the only nude I turn to as it's not drying and applies beautifully. I use this with the MAC Lip Pencil in the colour, Whirl. The two together are a dream team so if you're looking for a nude and have mid-brown hair colour with brown eyes, then I thoroughly recommend, Velvet Teddy. 

Next up, is the Rouge Edition Lipstick from Bourjois in the shade 02, Beige Trench.
This has to be my one of my favourites, due to its 'your lips but better' appeal. It is the ultimate nude, perfect for those days with minimal make-up. It gives your lips that hint of colour without being overpowering - it's so natural. If you're looking for a high-street naked nude - then this is for you.

The newest addition to my nudes is the, Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolour, in the shade, Seduction.
Other than its amazing chocolate/ caramel smell, this nude is rapidly becoming one of my staples. Revlon released these lip lacquers earlier this year with a great range of colours from berry tones to reds. They are super moisturising and extremely long-lasting, everything you could possibly want from a nude. The tapered wand allows the product to glide on evenly and reach those hard-to-get-to places. All round - a thumbs up from me. 

Last but not least, is my darker nude, which is the KIKO Velvet Matte Satin Lipstick, in the shade 06, Rosy Brown. This lipstick is for the slightly darker days with more heavier make-up and not every day wear. It's velvet texture is a dream to apply and leaves the lips feeling so luxurious despite its relatively cheap price tag. For a darker toned nude, this works perfectly for me and it's sleek rose gold packaging makes it even more exciting. If you're heading to KIKO, make sure this is in your basket. 


I'd love to hear what nudes you're loving this season, use the hashtag #NancyEllen's on Insta or tweet me, @NCampopiano.
