Eyes + Pudaier eyeliner colour review

Pudaier eyeliner set.... full review below!

I developed a stye on my eye just after Christmas. I couldn't wear any eye makeup for over a month, and I found myself over excited about getting back into eyeliner. I particularly wanted to take advantage of the coloured eyeliners I had in my make up drawers! Lets be real. Some are shit. Quite a few were always shit (shout out to Stilla for not very pigmented, sticky, hard to apply liners), some looked awesome but melted into every bit of my eye socket (s'up Rimmel) and some got thick and unusable very quickly after opening (I'm talking about you NYX!). But a couple were ride or die. And more than a couple of new ones were added to my bag of tricks!

Speaking of ride or die.... this white one is Rimmel. Sad to say it's no longer available but there are a few white liner options. one of which is at the bottom of this post, so fear not! I find that with very light colours I need to wear mascara or I look odd, so I've got a cheap and cheerful kiko mascara on with the lighter liners and no mascara with the darker ones.

 

Barry M Hi Vis Eyeliner in Charged up

Now then. Barry M Hi Vis liquid eyeliners are bloody excellent. They're pots rather than pens but they apply really well and are very matte. Charged up is a super unusual acid yellow toned green. I love it! it's a fabulous pop of colour but not too in-your-face. I think wearing mascara with these would look great, but I was just trying them out so no mascara here. Think it's a cute and youthful look without!

 The colour pay off is amazing and they actually last for a long time. I find that some matte liners get dry and flake off very quickly, but these did pretty well. The wing was always gone by the end of the day but that is always the case with me because a) I have wrinkles in the outer corners of my eyes, b) I wear super dewy concealer under my eyes, c) I get a bit of a greasy face by the end of the day and d) I'm always doing stuff that wipes my make up off like touching my face, snoozing or snogging. So the fact that even a tiny bit of these eyeliners survive is a testament to their quality! 

Barry M Hi Vis Eyeliner in Unleashed 

Case in point. I forgot to take a pic of this one during the day, but this was taken after midnight after a days wear that involved much touching of the face! Unleashed is a neon pastel pink. Again, a rather unusual colour.

Barry M Hi Vis Eyeliner in Amp Up

I know I look cross eyed.... not the eyeliners fault! Amp up is a stunning bright teal colour. very striking.

The colours are so good! I'm gutted that I couldn't get hold of the purple one, but 3 out of 4 ain't bad. I really recommend these. They are bloody marvellous and super affordable to!

Lottie London Stamp Liner - Wing Edition

You know what my every day liner is from my previous post, but a new favourite is the Lottie London stamp eyeliner. It takes a bit of getting used to, but it does tend to end up looking super cute. It also lasts fairly well compared to other black felt tip liners that I've tried before. I do pat some setting powder on to this liner when I wear it thick like this (if you use the wing end its gonna be thick!) Because I have half hooded eyelids and it will melt into the sockets otherwise. Lasts really well with a dab of powder though!

It also helps me to do looks like this. A fair bit of practice and work, but worth the effort!

Pudaier eyeliner colour pen set

Now then. The big section is gonna be a review of something that I saw on Instagram. They are sneaky buggers and they know what I've been googling! So I saw an advert for some coloured eyeliners that looked too good to be true. I managed to find one YouTube review by an English lady who had also seen said advert and then ordered some to try. It wasn't the most helpful for a number of reasons but it did seem like they were eye safe and pigmented so I threw caution to the wind and ordered the whole set. That way I got free delivery too.

Here is the full set! It actually turned up pretty quickly. Some reviews were complaining about 20+days but as these were shipping from outside the UK I would have been fine with that. As it turns out they came in about a week!

They don't have shade names but they cleverly have the colour on the font. So the set contains white, black, bright blue, dark green, burgundy, red, dark blue, yellow and pink. I wish there was an orange but apart from that, this is a pretty incredible set for the cost of around £30 (this included a discount code, but even at full price it's still only about £4 per liner!)

I just had to do the swatches against my tattoo! Damn it's made it clear that I need a touch up as soon as life gets a bit more normal again.... my yellow spot has almost disappeared in some lights! Anyway. Look at this madness! The colours are amazing!

I do wish that the red and green were a bit brighter, but in a way the darker shades make them easier to wear on regular days and a bit more subtle. I just have to show you guys what they look like when worn, so I took a photo every day that I tried a new one.

I will tell you straight away that I heartily recommend this set and absolutely give Pudaier my stamp of approval (for whatever that's worth!). Let's get into it!

This is the burgundy liner. I knew I'd be into this one as it's really unusual. It's a reddish brown colour and is super wearable.

So first thing's first. I've got sensitive eyes and skin and these don't sting, itch or irritate me. Easy to apply. I always find felt pen liners drag a bit but that's the age of my skin I think. Still simple to apply and dried nicely. Didn't smudge, wasn't sticky, didn't wipe off. Has a sheen to it as you can see, so these aren't matte liners. More like satin! This lasted almost all day. It only started to flake off a tiny bit when I was tired and rubbed my eyes. So impressed with this first one!

Oh my god this forest green is EVERYTHING! 

Such a beautiful colour! Same application, satin finish, dry down and staying power of the burgundy one. I even braved the outside in this one and it was gale force winds with occasional rain. Didn't budge. Totally in love and couldn't wait to try the next colour on day three!

I am aware that I look VERY serious in this photo. Probably because this was my 3rd attempt to put the yellow liner on! Its certainly harder to use than the green and maroon ones. It's a bit sheer but as it turns out, it can't be layered up. So you pretty much need to be able to do it in two swipes.... one across the eyelid and the wing to join up. You can touch up but quickly and no dragging. Otherwise you get chunks and it pulls off what's already there. 

The lighter eyeliners often seem to have the same problem. It's the same with white ones. It takes a while to get it right so if you don't have a steady hand or much patience then it might drive you mad! Anyway, I think it's fair to say that these eyeliners aren't all the same formula, but I could tell that from swatching (more on that later!).

Hopefully you can see that I managed a nice line eventually?! I had to persevere because my search for coloured eyeliner BEGAN with looking for a yellow liquid liner. I've tried a few and they've all been shit, so I really wanted to give this one a go. It might be that the ink pot yellows from Pudaier have more colour pay-off and are easier to use? But frankly it's the best one I've tried to date and now I know how to put it on I'll wear it lots. Still looks cute even if it was tricky to do!

Errr hello colour pay off! This is a very impressive eyeliner. To get this much pigment from a felt tip liner is pretty surprising! 

This one was very almost a one swipe line, that's how easy it was to use. It's brilliant. You might have noticed it's also quite similar to the Barry M one.....

The Barry M is slightly darker and a tad more teal coloured than the Pudaier one, but as the Barry M is easier to get in the UK, I'd say that it is the more sensible option if you just wanted a bright blue. Of course if you like some of the other colours too then damn, get the whole Pudaier set!

This is a double bubble. The black Pudaier liner (standard slim felt liner pen, doesn't seem too smudgy yet!) And the NYX that's the point liner. I got the dot liner recently from beauty bay and I'm highly unimpressed with it. It's too dry to do a proper dot so you have to keep pushing and then the dot gets huge.

Anyway. Don't buy the dot liner! The Pudaier black liner is decent though. Wonder if they might come out with some liner stamps? I'll buy them if they do!

The red is a bit darker than I was hoping for. It's not too dissimilar from the burgundy one. It's a bit tricky to use though as it doesn't layer too well. It's more pigmented than the yellow, but has a similar formula that needs to be applied super quickly.

It looks cute but it's not the best of the bunch. If I could get hold of the colour pop red liner I'd love to compare. I do wish I could find a good quality scarlet liquid liner! Anyway, I think this might be a bit crumbly because I tried to go over the top so I suspect it won't last all day, but if it's like the yellow one I'll get the hang of it I'm sure!

Now then, the pink liner in this collection is an outlier. All of the liners are felt tip pens except the pink. The pink is liquid with a ball bearing inside (which you can feel when you shake!) And has a very fine tipped brush head. It feels similar to a pen but it's actually a brush.

Unfortunately it arrived with a lot of the liquid in the lid. It went on pretty well as you can hopefully see. The colour is fab and it's easier to apply than some of the others, but I'm concerned that it was already feeling very dry by the time I was finishing the 2nd eye. I shook it and not much more liquid seemed to arrive!

Hopefully I'm wrong and it won't be too dry to use again, because this is a great colour. I tried the stilla pink and it was far too sheer and sticky. This one is far superior! I've contacted Pudaier to say it arrived in a bit of a state, but no response yet so I'm not sure of their customer service quality!

Oh this one is special! Firstly it is just pretty, it's a lovely colour and is easy to apply. More impressive to me is that it doesn't bleed out all over the place. I have never encountered a dark blue liner (I've had at least three, one of which was NYX, one Rimmel and one more I've forgotten the brand of!) And they have always dissolved into a dark mess and got all over my socket crease within an hour of wear!

This dark blue doesn't do that! It stays put and doesn't bleed. Plus it is a proper blue. I find so many other blue pens veer towards petrol blue rather than royal blue. 

I think I'm going to wear this one a lot! It's dark enough to look like a regular eyeliner from far away but up close..... cor blimey it's a deep blue sea!

I started with a white liner so I might as well end with one! The rimmel one I have is a touch easier to use as it's a bit sheerer and has a thinner formula. Of course that means that it's not as white as this one. This one is very bright and impressive. It would work really well for makeup art!

As with every white eyeliner I've tried, you have to be careful when applying or layering, or it could start to look a bit like tippex! I'm wearing black mascara with this as I always do with pale liners. It's impressive. not sheer at all!

I have to admit to being VERY impressed with the Pudaier coloured liner set. I couldn't find much info about them and I didn't order for ages because I think there's a lot of crap advertised on instagram! I actually can't believe how good they are. They're mostly easy to apply, the colours are great, the don't bleed (despite my greasy face!), they last all day, they don't smell like chemicals or irritate my eyes and they come off really easily without staining. Plus they are a bloody bargain! All I will say is that I wouldn't describe these as matte, apart from that they're really worth the money.

I think I will go back to their site and order a few of their coloured eyeliner pots to get the colours I'm now missing - a purple, a bright red and a proper orange! I now trust the brand to make good quality eye-safe liners!

No shade to the eyeshadow brigade, but balls to that palaver! My colour pop (no pun intended!) is coming directly from my eyeliners from now on! 

Face - Lottie London, Glossier, The Ordinary

 Man, the search for a light coverage foundation and a decent under eye concealer is TOUGH! I thought I might as well share some of the products I actually like after trying sooooo many!

P's, Generally speaking I'm a light-medium or medium depth in foundations and a peachy tone.

Re primer; Everyone has a primer, even if they don't actually use it! No primer (no matter how raved about or cult) ever seems to have helped my make up stay on or stay flawless so I'd rather not add even more stuff to my skin! When it comes to powder, it's used almost entirely to set felt tip pen eyeliners and that's it. I never ever want a matte face! So I'm not going to talk about those products because they're not really part of my daily routine!

My every day makeup drawer. Let's talk about it!

Let's not pretend that any tweezers are as good as tweezerman, ok?! They are brilliant and last for a loooong time.

This is a recent discovery. The older I get, the less coverage I want. Heavy foundation just doesn't sit well on my skin, so I tried the glossier skin tint and it was beyond sheer on me. I want light coverage but not no coverage! I thought I'd give Lottie London velvet skin tint a go and I really like it. Sadly the shade range is crap, but I just bought two and mix them to get the right shade!

It really does have a velvety texture and it's really easy to use. Light coverage and dewy but not too shiny. It really is a great product and I hope they extend the shade range.

Concealer for my under eyes has always been a fucker. Even more so now that I have more lines. I can't do heavy or dry concealer.

I also can't do pink toned and super light concealers. That's why I didn't go for the cult Becca under eye corrector. It only comes in two shades, one of which is too light and too pink. The other is the right shade but is too dark. So spending £21 didn't seem sensible! I recently tried this revolution conceal and fix.

This stuff is intense. It's thick and pretty full coverage. Dryish but not overly drying. I'd wear this for full on night out makeup, but it's also helpful in a thin layer underneath other more dewy or sheer concealers. Also good for concealing blemishes as it's genuinely very thick! You only need a teeny tiny bit. Also has a decent shade range and isn't too pricey. The swatches are rubbish though because they don't include the shade names (WHY?!), but I think they are a bit lighter in reality than on the swatches. This golden sand is really bright under my eyes and Tan is the right shade for my face right now, but in spring / summer I think I'll be using Tan under my eyes and Deep tan on my face.

 The Glossier stretch concealer is my best friend though. Many would find it too shiny and glossy, but give me shiny over flaky and dry any day! I have a few different colours. One that's light and for my full face of hardcore makeup moments, one that's just a bit lighter than my skin so it's brightening under my eyes, and one that's for all over my face ( or under my eyes when I'm a bit tanned!). If it was cheaper and easier to get out the pot I would use this as both foundation and concealer. If glossier ever make this in a stick I will 100% move over to full face of stretch concealer!

Cloud paint is perfect. Blends like a dream. Seems like it would be too intense but then just melts into the skin and looks surprisingly natural!

Beam on the apples for rosy cheek days, dusk under my cheekbones for vixen days.

I like aerosol setting spray and the Morphy one is expensive! Was happy to find that kiko also have them! Nice and easy finish that doesn't feel wet at all.

Easiest and best eyeliner. Not the longest lasting but doesn't bleed out or get into my sockets. I'm also writing a big blog post about my eyeliners because I have loads, but this is my desert island eyeliner!

Scrub 'em then moisturise 'em! Sugar plum fairy lip scrub is a seasonal product but Lush have a great range of edible and excellent sugar scrubs like this one here. Lip service balm for hardcore hydration and rose lollipop for kissing and smelling like sherbet! I'm defo going to do a lipstick post with my favorites at some point.

This is my every day makeup. Lottie skin tint on my face, glossier stretch concealer under my eyes and cloud paint on my cheeks. L'oreal liner, lush lip balm and a spritz of kiko setting spray. It's a light coverage in the hope that I look mostly natural.... the best version of myself in other words! I had a couple of lovely spots on my forehead, and I don't use much product up there (just enough to even things out!) but it's helpful to show you that it's a nice light foundation while not so sheer that it's just a tint! And the glossier stretch concealer is pretty effective huh? Shiny too, but I like that about it.

Now then. It's only fair to show you the other foundation I like!

This is an odd little bottle. The Ordinary serum foundation has actually become a staple. It's serum but also somehow has more coverage and is drier than other foundations I've tried. It goes on very easily and is thin in consistency, but is a decent medium coverage.... so this is my fancy foundation!

It's a good foundation but it's hard to describe. Its almost like face powder mixed into a liquid! So if you have dry skin this one might FEEL nice, but it will stick to your dry patches and therefore might not be for you. But combination skin like mine seems to like it! I use a more glowing setting spray for this (currently the kiko wonder woman one, but previously a barry m one!). Again, not a great shade range so I've got two that I mix. It's a great price point so I'm happy to have two on the go at the same time! Needs a vigorous shaking before every. Single. Use! That will be obvious when you look at the bottle. Also, be aware that it oxidises massively! So you may think it looks light on first squirt, but the colour will change quite dramatically so trust the official swatches! 

This is The Ordinary serum foundation, glossier stretch concealer and glossier dusk cloud paint under my cheek bones. A bit more full coverage!

I am aware that my camera phone doesn't show much difference between the foundations so I'll just say this. My top picks for a natural look on my 39 year old skin is Lottie London velvet skin tint and glossier stretch concealer, that's honestly all you need. But TWIST! Garnier tinted BB cream is what I use in hot weather when I just want to even my skin out and have a bit of SPF, but don't want to wear proper make up!

Lock-down coping mechanisms - Tea

This has been the oddest and most stressful 12 months I've ever experienced. There has been loss, stress, anxiety, furlough, cancer scares and a complete change of daily routines. The people I love have experienced loss of income, loss of a parent, months with no access to their own child, months with no break from their children, struggles with mental health, struggles with working from home, redundancy, actual cancer and major operations. It has also been full of love and adjustments and finding ways to appreciate the important things in life.... mainly meaning the people I value. I've been finding ways to do that and as odd as it may sound, drinking tea has turned out to be a rather valuable coping mechanism. 

I’ve been saying for years that I don’t like tea. As it turns out what I really don’t like is traditional British tea. I don’t like a cuppa.... a teabag, boiling water and a splash of milk. Not my jam. I'm a coffee person. Or at least I WAS a coffee person. Nowadays I'm a coffee and loose leaf tea person!

(Some images stolen from the internet!)

When I was younger my father and I used to drink jasmine tea. My dad went through a phase of really liking to make Chinese cuisine from scratch (he still to this day makes a fabulous home-made sweet-and-sour chicken!), but as part of that he bought some pretty blue bowls and plates and a lovely Chinese teapot. It wasn’t necessarily the best quality and I remember how tiny the little pieces were but I enjoyed the perfume and fragrant nature of it. And the fact that it didn’t have milk in. This is odd considering that I love milk as much as I do and would happily neck a latte, or in fact just drink milk on its own hot or cold. Not in tea, for some reason.

Having said all of the above, lets contradict myself by saying that in my adult life I’ve mainly had tea in Iced bubble milk form (it's powdered right, so not like normal milk?!) and please give me ALL the papaya, melon, rose and taro milk tea in London, thank you! Other than that I've had tea in cocktails and as a flavour in food. Matcha I particularly liked for its grassy flavour. There is a restaurant in Soho called Shack Fuyu which makes a Japanese French toast with matcha softserve ice cream and it brings me a lot of joy. Or at least it used to before Covid shut everything down, but ANYWAY! I tried a matcha latte and it was a bit rich for me, too sweet and a bit sickly but recently when I ordered our coffee from Spiller and Tate (more on that in a later post!), I noticed that they made a ceremonial grade Macha powder. It had a great taste award and I needed to spend a bit more for free postage so I ordered a packet. I figured that the health benefits made it worth trying even if it wasn't my favourite drink, so my partner and I sat down for a Macha tea and it was LUSH. I guess the lack of milk is what made it work for me.... interesting!

This stuff is delicious. It’s a bit of a bugger to make if you want it without lumps, but we don’t really care too much about lumps so I haven’t gone down the route of getting the whisk, the bowl, and all the other bits and pieces to do it properly. The ceremony is in the drinking and chilling out with each other rather than the actual preparation for us. Do it your own way!

This spawned a new ceremony for us during lockdown. We decided that every day we would have half an hour or so just spent together with no electronics, no TV, no music, no phones (sometimes a woodwick candle) and just have a lovely cup of tea. Our own joint mindful moment! It started with matcha but quite quickly I decided I needed to get jasmine tea back in my life. I did a fair bit of investigation to find the right jasmine tea. I didn’t want to get one of the cheaper ones, I wanted something a bit fancy, something that wouldn’t taste bitter or Jasmine "flavoured"!. 

The brand that I chose was The Tea Makers of London. I ordered a tin from Amazon and hey presto we had some delicious loose leaf jasmine tea. I didn’t even realise that it was green tea with Jasmine added..... that’s how little I know about tea! 

This tea is sensational. Truly it has changed my life. I now love Tea! 

Obviously this new routine required a teapot for looseleaf tea and I like transparent stuff (my coffee cups are glass too!), so onto Amazon I went and found this really cute teapot, perfect for two small cups of tea. I also wanted some of the double walled glasses which I have loved for ages. They always look so cute and you know, might as well get something fancy if we’re having a little ceremonial tea.

We have tried a few different teas now, some of which are fruity, some of which are herbal and some of which are just green or black tea. I’m quite sure that some of them will be brilliant for other people but personally I’m not as into herbal teas as green and black. There are a few exceptions though, however.

 I’ll tell you about my favourites now!

Cream of the crop, top of the heap, a vision from afar (props to my fellow oldies who know that's a French and Saunders reference!), is jasmine green tea. It really is just so incredibly delicious. It does feel good for you, but it also tastes good, looks good and just generally IS good. The aroma is particularly wonderful. Funnily enough the actual fragrance of Jasmine can be a bit overpowering for me in perfume but in food and drink it's fabulous and I love it! My previous experiences of tea had been that they were sometimes a little bitter, made my mouth feel dry and really dried out my throat. I guess that is to do with the cheapness of some of the tea that I've had before, and also how it has been brewed. I had no idea that green tea was best brewed with water of around 70°. Who knew?! This tea was clear and thirst quenching and fragrant but subtle. There was no dry mouth or dry throat. It was a joy to drink. 

I did some more Tea investigation after falling hard for Jasmine. I was hunting for Hibiscus tea and wanted to find a Local-ish tea company that were fair trade and had a wide but affordable range of quality tea. I came across Tea People and I fell in love! I've got lots of their teas now. They’re great for all the classics (now have some Jasmine and hopefully it will match up to the Tea Makers of London!) but they also have flowering tea and some excellent herbal potions! I ordered some for the reasons you’re supposed to drink them, i.e. sleep (to help with sleep.... obviously!) and hibiscus (which is good for lowering blood pressure). I won't list all the teas I've tried from them (so far!) but I'll give you my favourites. 

My (new in at number 2!) favourite on the list after Jasmine, is currently Tea People Cherry Black. Black tea with cherry and rose -  this one feels really fancy, it feels like a treat, a bit special! My partner says it tastes like liquid Cherry Bakewells and I have to agree with him. I think the black tea is not quite as good for you as green tea, however it's still beneficial and is delicious to boot. This one is SCRUMPTIOUS! So much so that the man of the house said it felt too tasty to be an everyday tea as surely the ones that are really good for you aren't that delicious! I mean I feel like that about Jasmine, but I guess he thinks of that as more medicinal?! I think I might have to do a bit more investigation into other black teas now.

Hibiscus is not a tea I like hot. It's a bit like drinking hot cranberry juice with no sweetener. I like it as an iced tea! I add sugar and the tea leaves to a big bowl and add boiling water. let it brew for 5 minutes or so and then pour it through a sieve, into a jug that goes into the fridge. It's great!

Most excellent iced tea. 

The Sleep tea is a fragrant herbal and lovely tea. It does seem to work for helping you sleep and just generally relaxing. Happily it’s caffeine free (again...... obviously right?!) and it contains Hemp, St John's wort, Passion flower, Hops, Valerian, Rose petals and Rose oil which makes you feel less anxious, therefore helping you nod off. I really like this one because I love the rose flavour. I had some the other afternoon when I was feeling tense and it really did seem to calm me down. I HIGHLY recommend this tea, particularly for anxious folk or stressful times (you know... like a global pandemic!).

We got a sample pack of the Tea People Detox tea in our last order and we were both instant fans of this one! It's green tea based but the apple is subtle and natural and the cinnamon really shines through. This was calming, warming and genuinely tasty so we are certainly going to order a tin of this!

The daily tea has become of very nice ceremony during lockdown. It’s like creating a little oasis of calm in our own home. I can’t tell you how often this has lead to really interesting, funny or deep conversations and occasionally, epic snuggle times (and... errr.... epic naked times!). Sometimes it's just silent enjoyment of sharing a space. We both really value this new tradition, but I've also enjoyed having a tea break alone if my partner is out or busy. Some quiet time to relax and reflect. I just wanted to share in case it inspires someone else to try it alone or with a loved one!

Can't believe I like tea. Covid times have changed me!

Asos with a hint of New Look

Forever U Curve metallic pleated dress in rose gold

Happy Birthday to meeeeee! I decided that even though I wasn't going anywhere, that was no reason not to get dressed up. I knew this dress would be mine. It cost an arm and a leg (even on sale and with a discount code on top!) But I am famously a Rose Gold obsessive and have been for about 20 years! That's right. I loved Rose gold before it was fashionable or easy to buy. Honestly, I used to order big rose gold plated hoop earrings from from a company based in America! Ahhhh Silvershake used to sell the best huge hoop earrings, I was devastated when my massive rose gold ones broke after years of wear. Never found any as big or thick that don't cost a small fortune. I can't fathom why they stopped selling their XL hoops but anyway. That was a lovely lil' trip down memory lane huh?!

What I'm trying to tell you is that the moment I saw this dress I knew it would end up in my wardrobe. It had to be mine. Technically its a rosy blush pink dress with a metallic silver coating, but as you can see, the over all effect is rose gold and its lush. Totally lush! This is the 24 and it's a good fit. Biggest size they do annoyingly. Okay if you wear a bigger size but have a smaller waist than bust and hips - which are both pretty free-size - but the waist isn't stretchy.

I felt very glamorous in this, even though I had an eye infection at the time so couldn't wear eye makeup (always a dark lippy to compensate in such circumstances!)

Curves Black Long Sleeve Tiered Peplum Top

This is one of those tops that will come in super handy in spring. It's stretchy and soft Jersey. Generous in size. Love the sleeves!

ASOS DESIGN Wide Fit cuban heel western chelsea boots in pink patent with metal hardware

These were in the mens section, but they CALLED to me! The wide fit in my normal size turned out to be bloody perfect!

Normally when I try mens boots from asos they're way too small on the ankle. These are tight but also stretchy so they work. They're also rather hard to get off lol, but they'll be better after a few wears I reckon!

The sole is so bouncy and comfy. Mould to the foot really well. The toe is obviously awesome and the width is great.

 Also available in other colours. In fact, if you don't need a wide fit, you can get these in a fabulous pastel green or hot pink. Both of which I was pissed about not being able to get in wide fit!

ASOS DESIGN curve wrap smock jumpsuit with button in khaki

Send in.... the clowns.

This is the size 24. Ridiculous. Nice soft and flowing fabric (the kind that shrinks in the wash!) But really. Doesn't work for me! Fyi, I ordered a 20 for comparison but it was too short in the body and a nightmare to get into. It still looked clownish. 

ASOS DESIGN curve jersey wrap smock textured jumpsuit in animal print

Errr yes please! I am digging Asos making stretchy and comfy jumpsuits that I can relax in! 

In the sale and super cheap right now. So comfy. Really loved this. Can sit crossed legged and everything! This is the 24 and I wouldn't go smaller due to having to pull it on over my big bum. Not sure the seams are strong enough!

Does draw attention to the old vag but I care not! Oh one thing to mention. Asos keep describing this fabric as textured jersey. That's misleading as it is not a soft and comfy fabric like jersey. I've never felt Jersey like this and I don't think anyone would think this felt like jersey. It's a bit rough. Not so much as to be uncomfortable, but certainly a bit scratchy compared to regular Jersey.
