Style Corner: Mollie King

I am such a big fan of The Saturdays' style! I wrote about Frankie last year and about how I dig her casual threads and now is the turn of Mollie King. She also manages to stay on top of trends while staying effortlessly chic. I also love how she mixes vintage with high street AND designer without trying to hard. Here are a few of my favourite looks. :)

















Accessorize Eye Shadows - Review & Swatches

Here again for some more swatches and photos for you guys! This time, I'll be swatching a few eye shadows from the Accessorize makeup range; sometime that I am really really impressed at!



The first thing I noticed about these shadows were the sheer amount of pigmentation in each container! They are extremely vibrant and for £4 (£4.50 for the baked duo) for 2g of product, it is not bad at all.

The colours are more of a shimmer than glitter and the great thing about the shadows is that you only need a little bit for all round coverage. Another good thing about these shadows is that you can foil them, for even more immense pigmentation.




I'm particularly impressed with the denim and ultra violet shadows - they give off a smooth, non-chalky texture and can almost get away with being worn without an eye primer. I received many compliments when I wore Denim to work - it really does last all day and I think suits a variety of skin shades. I will be putting up a FOTD of these shades in due course.

Isn't ultra violet (3rd swatch) wonderful? Look at that multi-dimensional glimmer!

I say kudos to Accessorize for coming up wit such amazing shadows! All we need now is a Matt collection from them and they'll be right on the money!

Have any of you guys tried Accessorize shadows? What do you think?

London Adjacent. [My Photography Project]

Hiya guys!
As some of you may know, I have a bit of a thing for photography and so this month I decided go create a little project for myself which involved taking photos around London; showcasing both the urban and rural sides. I wasn't able to take that many photos because life and work got in the way a bit, however I'm very pleased with the photos i've taken and I hope you like 'em too, so i thought i'd show a little sample!

A little Lord & Berry Giveaway methinks?

Yes, I think so!


Lord & Berry is a cosmetics line from Milan whose products are frequently used in the hottest catwalk shows and are famed for extremely high quality yet affordable make up. 


When I first saw the range, I was immediately reminded of Bobbi Brown in regards to the packaging, however in terms of quality, they are just as good!





Even though the top colour looks purple, it's actually a really dark, vamp red and it's gorgeous!
The lipsticks are semi-matt and are ultra moisturising and pigmented and i'm incredibly happy with them, which is why i'm giving one of you guys the chance to win the pair!

Yep! I have two more of the same shades to give away to one of you. Rules below!

Giveaway ends on the 21st of May.

1) You must be a follower of my blog. :)
2) Comment below stating which shade you would like. If you don't mind about the colour, write "any!" and leave your email address.


The giveaway is international. =) 

Extra Twitter Entry:

3) You can follow and tweet " Just entered @MacStephanton's Lord & Berry giveaway over at www.nerdabouttown.com for a chance to win!"


Good luck dolls! xx

MeMeMe Light Me Up High Shine Lipgloss.

New gloss!






From top to bottom; Intense, Shimmer, Captivate, Sparkle 


MeMeMe Cosmetics have released an updated version of their 'High Shine Lipgloss' which comes with a light and a mirror on the side of the tube so it can be used in the dark!

I love these glosses because they are amazingly pigmented without the need for lipstick and the consistency is thick enough without being too 'gloopy,

My favourite one is 'Sparkle',(the hot pink one) because it has a multidimensional 'sparkle' to it and makes lips appear a tad fuller.

£6.99 online and in stores.

Have any of you guys used products by MeMeMe?
What do you think of them?
Has anyone else used MeMeMe products?
