Urban Decay Haul, featuring Pulp Fiction & More


So  I did actually scream when MAC announced the Rocky Horror collection but in the meantime the Pulp Fiction Collection from Urban Decay really caught my eye!

Overview of what I picked up
 First of all, it is a hugely iconic film and being an avid lover of all things Tarantino, I HAD to buy the palette. PLUS, at just £17.50 it seemed really rude not to! (Almost like me saying "No Thanks UD, I like to pay £36+ for your palettes" ;) so I really could not leave Debenhams without it...).

Close up of Palette
Swatches of Palette Colours

The first thing I have to say is that this palette is just extremely good value for money.
The shadows are so soft and butterey, blending like a dream! The colour pigmentation is so strong and y'all know I keep on saying Sugarpill need to release a nude palette, because even though we like nude shades, that doesn't mean we don't want any colour payoff!? UD hit the pigment hard which I like. The White, , is slightly shimmery too and that mixes it up a bit. I think if you're still umming and arring, just go buy it!? What's £17.50? A pair of shoes or a jumper from Primark!?
Upon first look I thought that the Black/White duo of Furious & Anger would be similar to my Nars duo eyeshadow in Pandora; take a look at the comparison below...
Furious/Anger, Pandora
I think I prefer Anger as a white and Pandora's black aha!

I then remembered I don't actually own any of their recent lipsticks so decided to have a gander. After just recently purchasing a whole load of new bright lippies from the drugstore I couldn't justify anymore bright pinks...I have too many red as is, but I do love nudes and I need a good replacement for when my Viva Glam Gaga runs out! So this lipstick in Naked2 was a must, I then remembered that I needed a nude lip liner so the Naked2 of that seemed like a great idea too ;D





Lipstick left, Liner right.
The liner is just slightly deeper in colour, completely matte and very smooth. The lipstick is a bit more satin than the liner (still more matte than satin though as a finish in itself) and is so creamy. It just looks beautiful applied to the lips. I find the duo together last a good long while with me drinking from a cup etc. I will definitely be buying more liners!


After this I then had to make it up to over £50 to get Debenhams' special offer of an extra £10 worth of points! (Of course!?) so I ended up purchasing one of the new flushed palettes-I already have the original so Streak looked like the next best one for my colouring.



I was a tad upset when I got home that my palette has been kinda pushed over to the left, however, it is quite sturdy in there (just a few millimetres space to the right) and I have been using it with no problems nonetheless :) I am sure you know it's disappointing when this kinda thing happens though :(... In my swatches it kinda shows the bronzer part as being shimmery, this really does not show shimmery when applied to my skin at least not really noticeably. I use it as a contour over my scarring and it doesn't show them up more so. I love the blush colour, I think it's so gorgeous :') I really love the original but I find this one so much easier to just whack on when in a rush. A* product.


Well Done UD, I am so converted to you over Benefit!? Benefit just kinda cheat me out with their staff, I find UD Staff so much less pushy, anybody else?
Hope you like my overview and I highly recommend you go get the Pulp Fiction Palette! x x x

Elf Brushes. Yes or No?

Elf brushes have always been talked about as being good quality and I don't know about you guys, but I am convinced with brushes you get what you pay for. So, I had to try for myself to see if they were any good or not. At £3.95 a pop I decided to get 3 and the Lip Exfoliator (Can you tell Emily Noel from YouTube is being my guide here ? ;))

Overview of the brushes I got!
 
BUT have I been converted?? First up the Powder Brush!
1)
Powder Brush Close Up

 The Powder brush is soft yet firm enough, picks up hard pressed powders well and is good at tapping off excess from loose powders. It's a lovely brush and I love the cut of it, I haven't tried it with any cream or liquid products because to be honest...I kinda think it wouldn't work with a liquid foundation very well as I feel the bristles are almost too soft/not dense enough for that. Overall, great brush for a great price, would I recommend it for blush? Just, Powder all over the face? Absolutely, Contour? Urr...I feel as though it's too wide for that but you could! All over blending? Heck Yeah!


2) Small Stipple Brush;

Front View
Side View!





















 The only trouble with elf packaging! The Plastic cover it comes in squishes the brush! So my brush is more of a fan shaped, still I love this brush. On first touch I was worried the bristles were too soft but on Emily's recommendation I powdered through trying x2 different creamy blushes on my cheeks with this. It's fantastic. It is very small, but I feel as though this makes for a better application! It's small & cute but gutsy, it picks up product from the pans well and distributes across your face and cheeks wonderfully, makes even the stickiest "cream blush" glide onto your cheeks. I am SOLD. I will be buying these for all my friends for Christmas!


3) Small Tapered Brush;
Small Tapered Brush sideways on
This brush. This is the pick of the bunch for me. The size is just perfect for getting right in that contour line y'all know you need! For even the smallest of faces and cheeks, this is amazing. Soft bristles, blends out powders so nicely (I tend to do a lil' back forward blend and it just blends in even the darkest contour powders beautifully :')). If you're looking for the Perfect Contour/Highlight brush this HAS to be it! Again, some friends' will find this in their stockings!

Overview of the brushes;
Good Quality Bristles
Good Quality Handles
Look Nice
Don't shed all that much (only expected with new brushes)
Packaging they come in can squeeze or alter the brushes shape for a little while
They're like never in bloody stock online!? -Seriously Elf please just get up to date with suppliers, I almost didn't bother!
Elf almost always have a code or promo on their site so you may even get the brushes cheaper or with free shipping! Woo!

 The last thing I got was the Lip Exfoliator...

Close up on the exfoliator
 I love this product so much. It is now a Holy Grail Product of mine, it's so deeply exfoliating-almost harsh on lips, so if you don't like really hard exfoliators then don't go for this. If like me you suffer with crusty lip syndrome sometimes and you lips almost feel itchy, this is great! Going to get rid of all your scuffiness plus where it's made of all sugar and oils etc it tastes amazing! It reminds me so much of the Lush lip scrub but it is in a much more accessible lipstick form. I cannot express my love for this product it is simply incredible. A***!


So that's it for my lil' tiny elf haul! Hope you like my mini reviews of the products, quite a lot of love in here!
See you in the next one, it feels great to be blogging again x x x

RELAAAUNNCHHHH! I am back! :D

So, you're probably wondering what the hell Tash? Where ya been?

First things first, let me set it straight....I had NO COMPUTER or INTERNET for ALL this time I've been off! Yeah, I had my phone and tablet but have you tried to use the Blogger app? It is so ridiculously bad you can't do a thing. No, Blogger you really need a PC or Laptop for, I have now bought myself a secondhand Lenovo thinkpad, which I am quite happy with for £70.00 it's really better than my old PC plus it has windows 7, which is great as 8 is rubbish for my old XP loving brain!

Second thing, my job! Life on Reception at the hotel is incredibly hard work, it's fast paced & extremely tiring and trying to juggle that with commuting, seeing Ed, seeing & working Apollo. Something had to give whilst I caught my breath.

Third thing, Ed. Ed and I simply did not see enough of each other before, we're now a lot better at managing our time.

Apollo! I have been so busy these past few weeks I have only had time to ride him once a week!! Which I hate, if I had it my way there would be an extra day in the week to have off so I could have another day to ride. My lessons are still going great though and we are progressing well together.
 
Apollo & Me enjoying a hack out back in early August.

BUT what's been happening Makeup wise!? If you follow me on Instagram you will see that I have been posting on there nearly daily with products, looks etc. It's definitely an easier blogging tool whilst out on the go ;), I DID go to IMATS London and I might be bashed for this but...although it was fun and a great experience, I found there wasn't much discount on products (certain brands were amazing though!) Huge Shoutout to Sugarpill for coming over as that madeeee my trip really! :') Also....it really was not big enough, me and my mum got there for opening, waited outside in line for maybe 10 mins and then were in an out in an hour 30?!

The high quality of my Samsung's front facing camera...


#nofilter ;)
So that is my bringing you up to speed!-
I am aiming at the moment to post once a week, hopefully I'll be able to write maybe two or three posts on one of my days off and post periodically, I am hoping I will do one LOTD and one Review each week...but this all depends, I am trying guys! I love you all so much and everyone asking after my makeup and blog has really touched me, I hope we can build a good future of it together! (Plus, have you seen the previews of the XMAS kits!? OMGGGG!).

I am planning on redoing my room too so stay tuned for pics on that and details on where everything is from....I think you're going to like it!


Love you all,

Natasha xxx

RE LAUNCH COMING!

Hey Guys & Dolls!

Just a quickie post to let you know that I will be re-launching the blog in a couple of months!

I am finally more settled into my new job, finding time to balance that with the pony and Ed. Now the only trouble is finding a new laptop/PC set up as mine is completely ruined!! Luckily I have everything backed up on a hard drive!!

The Relaunch date is to be announced so I hope you're as excited as I am.

Love you all so much and cannot wait to get back to writing about beauty and all sorts to you :')

All the love,

Birthday LOTD & Beauty Haul!

My Birthday was Monday the 7th of April! Thank you for the messages & cards, I had a lovely relaxed day with some shopping ;) a cute lil' afternoon tea with Ed & his family and went out for Wagamama's in the evening with my family which was so lovely-if you've never been..why not!?
And just to let you know, I am NOT obsessed with the colour pink, despite how it may seem after you see the pictures :P

My Full Face :)


Ma Pink n White EYes


Products used for this look :)
Nyx Jumbo pencil in milk as my base (to really make the white and pink pop), Sugarpill "Tako" for the white shadow, Sugarpill "Dollipop" & Concrete Minerals " " eyeshadows for the pink, LOOK Beauty Mono shadow in "Gilet" as my transitional crease colour to make the look that lil' more wearable ;) .
Tarte "Exposed" Blush (as I didn't want to go with a too sweet look with pink cheeks as well!!) & Nars "Copacabana" multiple for my highlighter. Benefit "Gimme Brow" was ran through my brows and They're Real was gracing my lashes. MAC's Viva Glam "Gaga 1" was on my lips (and I don't think I've ever actually made that colour work quite as well as that, so that went really well!). I was going to wear falsies but I just couldn't bring myself to look THAT fake >.<, especially as Ed's grandparents' were coming :P


My LUSCIOUS Kat Von D Shoes <3

My Full Outfit










My Dress is called "Glamour Guts" by Iron Fist Clothing (hopefully they will start up their UK site again soon!?) and I kinda wish I bought it in a medium instead of large as it's a tad loose and I would've preferred it a bit more hugging ;)

My Shoes are Kat Von D (sorry I have no idea what model) but I actually got them really reduced at a random outlet shop before Christmas!
















Anyhoo! Onto the BEAUTY HAUL (which I know is why most of you are here ;))

HAUL!
So, I am sure you can probably guess what everything is but I shall list anyways:
-MAC Colour Correct Compact (Yellow)
-MAC Hoop Lipstick (Matte, from By Request Collection)
-MAC Prep & Prime Radiance Primer (sample)
-MAC Myth Lipstick (Satin, from permanent line)
-Lime Crime Uniliner in Rhyme
-Lime Crime Uniliner in Reason
-Lime Crime Coquette Lipstick
-Lime Crime Styletto Lipstick
-Lime Crime Cosmopop Lipstick
-Duo Dark lash glue (from Cocktail Cosmetics)
-Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette!
-Real Techniques kabuki brush


(L-R) Hoop, Myth, Styletto, Coquette, Cosmopop

I am so in love with the products from Lime Crime I am going to HAVE to try some more! Coquette is such a beautiful colour (I have worn it tonnes already) and I can't wait to wear Styletto somewhere too! I have already tried the silver uniliner (I believe that one is called Reason) and it's staying power is fantastic and it's buildable in pigment too!

And contrary to what I thought, I do actually really like the Naked 3 palette! I find it works nicely for day to day wear-kinda wish it had a couple more lighter/creamier shades though, find I am using my Naked Basics in conjunction with it quite a lot. But nonetheless the shadows are still high quality, butterey and smooth to blend :)

I shall do some more updates on the products as I use them!

As you can see I was well & truly spoilt! I had such a lovely day and I hope you guys enjoyed reading this post! See you in the next one! :) x x x

Best in Beauty 2013! Including my Top 3 Favourite 52WODN

SO let's hit it straight off with my Best in Beauty for 2013!

My favourite Beauty Products this year goes like thisss...

1)      FAVE PRIMER-BENEFIT STAY FLAWLESS
This primer, although came out towards the end half of 2013 is by far my favourite primer it works so well-It says you get 15hr wear, more like 23 hr wear! It's AWESOME. Go buy it ;)

2)      FAVE FOUNDATION-REVLON COLORSTAY
This, I think will always be my favourite foundation, it just works so well with my skin and matches it perfectly. Lasts well and doesn't slide off of my face...also works incredibly well with the Stay Flawless ;)

3)      FAVE CONCEALER-BENEFIT FAKEUP
Another end-ey year Bene-product, I LOVE this, It goes on so smooth, blends so nicely and looks amazing-no creasing and is perfect shade.
 
4)      FAVE POWDER-URBAN DECAY DE-SLICK POWDER
This powder is my HOLY GRAIL for keeping my skin matte and I actually only bought it in November! It's so smooth, lightweight, doesn't cake up my foundation, keeps my skin matte, doesn't make me look white. Just looks beautiful.
 
5)      BRONZER-NARS, LAGUNA
Nars, Laguna...DO I really need to say anymore? It is the perfect shade for most skintones, can be buffed out and blended well, looks natural and lasts well all day. Plus, it's Nars and that just makes it feel extra special >.<
 
6)      HIGHLIGHT-MAC MINERALIZE SKINFINISH (ANY!)
These are just so beautiful, so luminizing, so soft and easy to use, blend etc. Very easy going products that are pigmented and last all day. SO worth the money.
 
7)      BROWS-ILLAMASQUA BROW CAKE, THUNDER
Again, I only got this in December and I am so happy I've finally got something that's the same colour as my eyebrows! Took me long enough...this is easy to work into your brows and stays well.
 
8)      LIQUID LINER-LOOK FLIRTY FLICK
This. This just stays put. DOES NOT MOVE until you take it off, is a great black-wish it could be a bit more matte-but is just the perfect eyeliner.
 
9)      EYESHADOW PALETTE-NAKED 2
I am sorry that I don't use Naked 1 as much, Naked 2 is just so much easier to just whack in overnight bag (and not worry it'll break) and...yeah, you know the rest ;)
 
10)  MASCARA-MAYBELLINE ROCKET VOLUME
This is my favourite mascara at the moment...maybe even more so than my benefit They're Real!? 
Only because recently I've been wanting more volume and I find that They're Real gives more length and curl, I actually like using these two together :)
 
11)  LIP PENCIL-? WHAT? I DON’T HAVE ONE…Sorry! I just don't use lip pencil's often enough >.<

12)  LIPSTICK-MAC VIVA GLAM NICKI
The reason I like this best is because...it's a Satin finish that lasts well and is just such a PARTY colour!
 
13)  Fave subscription-I HATE THEM ALL!!! AND WHY DO WE NOT HAVE A GOOD MAKEUP MAGAZINE IN THE UK?? (sorry, just had a mini rant, maybe 2014 will see an independent MAKEUP magazine-I mean one sold in retailers-and a GOOD subscription box come into the UK?)


Onto my Top 3 Favourite 52WODN posts from this year!

Number 1!

So Number 1 had to go to the Top Bananasss ;) I simply LOVE these nails! See the full post here: http://tinyurl.com/mjmlz9p


Number 2

2nd place had to go to something glitter-ey as I have quite a lot of those ;) I decided to choose these as I thought they were pretty for all times and occasions. See full post here: http://tinyurl.com/keegfva

Number 3
I chose these Nude nails as I love the curved lines and contrast between the nude and black, I just think they're creative and chic >.< See their full post here: http://tinyurl.com/m88vjau


Well another year over...Keep your eyes peeled for my NYE outfit and makeup etc to be up by the end of the week and I wish you all a very Happy and Healthy New Year!

Thank you for all your support x x x

New Years Resolutions and What I wore to the Christmas Party

So as it's getting nearer and nearer to 2014...HOORAY! (cannot wait for 2013 to be over!)
I am thinking more about what I'd like to challenge myself to do for the first bit of the year-haha!

1) I've decided that I'd like to lose a stone. I love my body and it's not from an image point of view, but more from a health angle, so one stone to lose and keep off-I shall be doing blog posts about this perhaps once a month as I am really not going to be doing as a quick harsh diet change, I'd like to do it as healthily and steadily so I can make the changes more permanent. I did used to be the quite the butterball child and hate to think that even though I've evened out a bit more, that I am unhealthy-the main issue is exercise as opposed to an unhealthy diet-But we shall see what my plan becomes :)

2) Project Hit-Pan! So, I am sure you've seen a lot of other bloggers/youtubers etc do this tag or project. It's when you don't buy anymore makeup (oh dear god, I nearly choked on my gum typing it!) and try to aim to use up what you already have-which is quite a lot for me, so I think this is a good idea. I'll be doing once-monthly posts about this as well so I ACTUALLY stick to it!

3) DO at least 5 Good Deeds a week. I do feel as though I work hard already, but by good deeds I mean, making someones day-I mean like giving an old person your seat, helping someone who's car's broken down all sorts of nice, Selfless acts. I plan on making like a little checklist in my Filofax for each week to remind me :P

4) Maintain my brows more often! I do work on my brows and try to keep them groomed, between one to two months at a time as they don't grow too fast but they do need an upkeep more often I feel! Trim, pluck etc, quick lil' brow shape up!

So I think these goals are pretty achievable, they always say your goals need to be Achievable, with a good Time limit/Quantity



Next up is my makeup and nails for the HRTC Christmas Party!

Ma full FACEY!

My EYES O.o

All products used just chucked on my vanity... (sorry bout that >.<)

My Karla Chart I did as a guide...

Nailsss! LOOK AT THAT CAVIAR!

Right Hand XD

MA pwetty right thumb,which the glitter of is just AMAZE-balls.


I have a couple more posts before the end of this year including my 2013 Beauty Favourites! So be sure to stick around guys, thanks for all your support and if I don't post before, have a very Merry Christmas!

Much Love,

Tasha x x x

Monday, 25 November 2013

So as part of my making up for being such a bad blogger pack of posts I thought I'd do Karen from Makeup and Beauty Blog's Monday Morning Poll questions for you and would love it if you'd copy and paste them and do a comment or your own post and link it to me in the comments? 

1. Do you wear mascara on your bottom lashes?
I do on occasion, when I go out to town or just when I really want a sexy dramatic look-which, lets face it is most of the time :P

2. Watching figure skating on TV: yes or no?

Yes when I was younger I used to love watching it with my mum and then pretending to do all the jumps in the living room afterwards...but nowadays all I can see on freeview is Dancing on ice and would I watch that? No.

3. What’s your favorite kind of pie?

My Favourite pie at the moment has to be this plum, fig & something...apple? pie from M&S at the moment, it's so sweet with just the right amount of bitterness and I LOVE it.

4. Is there someone in your life who’s always encouraged you to chase after your dreams?

A lot of my family are very good at being encouraging-even when things are really down...but my Mum does have to be the best at cheering me on and encouraging me to be whoever I want to be.

5. Besides laughter, what’s the best medicine?

A hug. I genuinely feel that people these days are really anti-touch and being warm with each other. Now I am not saying I go round hugging and squeezing just ol' anybody but it's very difficult to know whether you can hug somebody or not these days, which is a real shame as a good hug can make you feel so secure and comforted.

6. Have you ever dedicated a song on the radio to someone?

Urmmm, no, but I did sing on the Itchen College Radio when I was there...That was pretty awesome :)

7. Where do you feel the safest?

In my bed! haha, like a kid when you think there are monsters and you hide under your duvet...like that piece of cloth will protect you from anything! haha :)

8. Who makes the best drugstore nail polish?

Barry M! Without fail and I am sure most UK gals will agree ;) 

9. What shoes are you wearing today?

Slippers as I have been lounging around after a 10 mile hike round London yesterday, shopping, visiting Hyde Park's Winter Wonderland and then walking to the Albert Hall to watch Classical Spectacular performed by the Philharmonic!

10. Hello, would you like whipped cream with your hot cocoa? 

Hey Hun, Deffo-Sprinkles and Sauce too if you don't mind! ;) x
 

I hope you can all forgive me and I can't wait to share what I got from Illamasqua in London and I have a couple other treats up my sleeve... If you liked this piece +1 it! and tweet me your replies:

1. Do you wear mascara on your bottom lashes?
2. Watching figure skating on TV: yes or no?
3. What’s your favorite kind of pie?
4. Is there someone in your life who’s always encouraged you to chase after your dreams?
5. Besides laughter, what’s the best medicine?
6. Have you ever dedicated a song on the radio to someone?
7. Where do you feel the safest?
8. Who makes the best drugstore nail polish?
9. What shoes are you wearing today?
10. Hello, would you like whipped cream with your hot cocoa?

LOTD Random Day... Just chillin' :0)

So today was a random day, just chillin' trying to get rid of my cold, which seems to plague us bbloggers just when we get into our swing of posting... -.- And so my makeup was soft and simple.

My fully made up face :)

As you can see...FAKEUP has done it's job pretty damn well! I was trying this sample of Estee Lauder's double wear foundation and although it was slightly too dark, it didn't oxidise and did stay all day, so that'll be on my Xmas wishlist :D Also, this is actually the first time I tried out the Milani shadow set and...it was...really bad :( I am sorry to report it just turned into a grey mash by the end of the day :(
The H&M gloss was amazing! Very nice pigmentation XD and not sticky. The Stay blushed by Rimmel needs a bit more trying but first impressions-I liked the colour and application was easy :)


Products used :)

Hope you liked this post and hopefully I'll be all better soon so I can show you lots more things in upcoming posts, it's been so difficult to fit everything in but I am GETTING there...finally :)

Thanks for all your support guys :) x x x

Halloween 52 WODN & I am going away tonight!

Today's 52WODN is for HALLOWEEN WEEK. Yes, sorry it's taken so long for anything Halloween-ey to be posted on here, but, tbh....I really don't like Halloween :( I don't like getting scared. I am such a wuss and Grannie I know but it's really not my thing...Christmas on the other hand!!-Don't get me started!! :D

So yeah, for this week I decided to do a 52WODN post that had my gruesome (kinda pretty) nails...


My Left Hand :)

Ma Left Thumb-io :)

My Right Hand!

Ma Right Thumb-io
Don't they kinda look like bloody lungs or body bits?? D: I dunno, but this is the best gore I can do :P
To get this look I just put on some Barry M Croc effect on top of just a wet base coat and once dry painted over Revlon's Mon Cherry -just the once to get the blood-ey effect :S

So, what d'ya think?? Not too bad, eh? :/ haha, well apart from Cutesey Frankensteins and fangs this was as horrible as I could go!

I go away tonight to see ma friend Annie at Uni! So I am excited for that and what shenanigans it may bring... ;) but keep your eyes peeled as there is a LOTD scheduled for tomorrow :) x x x

LOTD: Shopping at Hobbycraft and Crafting for the rest of the day afterwards!

So Yes, I ventured into Hobbycraft once again! Well...I was after some modge podge type stuff (as I cannot find modge podge here in the UK for the LIFE of me) and I saw they had something similar online and thought, Well, why not have a little shop round? And I am  so glad I did! BUT that is another story! :P

Ma Full-Poutey-Face :*
My idea for what to wear/how to style it, I needed something easy to chuck on that would still look cute. I picked this leopard print jumpsuit I own from Topshop and grunged it up with some army boots and a top knot. My face, was quite easy but looked really, really nice and glowey!
I wore Dainty Doll shadows (if you can get hold of the yellow, I'd recommend it!!) and really just did a nice bronzed contour with Nars' Laguna, Physicians Formula Pearl Highlighter and Benefit's Rockateur (which, I still haven't totally figured out yet, haha!) I then slicked on some Nars' larger than life gloss in Place Vendome and then stuck some of the MUA one direction balm (I think I got...someone loves Watermelon??-Not sure, sorry!) But then whacked on some Avon super extend mascara and Elf max coverage concealer (which, if you do not already know I majorly LOVE-check out my elf haul/review here:http://januarybeautyful.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/elf-haul-august-2013.html).

Products used :)
Thanks for reading guys! Hope you liked this post, if you think I should start doing an Outfit of the day once a week...let me know, yeah? :) x x x

52WODN 7.10.13. I am sorry I missed a week, BUT..!

The cute candy inspired nails I had from 2 weeks ago, just lasted and lasted and I kept getting A LOT of compliments on them so didn't want them to go! Haha! But I have got a 52 weeks of delicious nails post for you in today, so, here it is!

I am a little bit like everyone else in that I totally jumped on the whole "moustache everything" band waggon, but I have never attempted to make moustache inspired nails before so this was a new challenge like no other :P To get this look I used Revlon's Timeless and a Black nail art pen I own :)

Oui, Oui, Oui
I think they look so, so cute! Look! Little-Frainch Men :P However. There is a reason there is only one hand of little french moustache-d men. Because, after doing these nails I went and did horsey things and that lead to my nails getting destroyed. I will show you the little man that came out the best...

Poor little guy...


 So this week, Left hand TOTALLY wins. Hands down, though it's a little unfair as the right hand was pretty much ruined by nothing of it's own fault. Thanks for reading guys! Speak soon :3 x x x

LOTD-Coffee Morning with Girls :3

So today I went out for a lovely little coffee with my girlfriends, I wanted to look sleek and smart but not make too much effort...y'know how it is :P I ended up wearing a very interesting dress...it kinda looks like warning tape! It's a long dress (half way down ma knee) but it's very figure hugging, which I like, it also has 3/4 length sleeves :)

My Full Bright Face!

I just used a nice little blend of a couple of Naked Basics colours with...one brush I think? haha, I then used the black shade to line my upper lashline :) Then used a nice little swipe of MegaLash mascara, a cute buffing of this new H&M blush I got (keep an eye out for my haul coming soon :3) and H&M Lipgloss too! I also thought it was worth mentioning that I used Fakeup under my eyes....don't they look refreshed?!

Ma neutral, faked-up eyes XD

So, yes, not many products used but a nice fresh look achieved!

All Products used :)



Thanks for reading guys and sorry I missed out last week! As I said keep an eye out for my H&M makeup haul post-I am pretty damn excited about it, I can't lie :3! x x x

So as you know I went as Jasmine to Jack & Jess' Fancy Dress Party! (There's a hell of a lot of J's there!) and firstly I must apologise to the both of them as I stayed for maybe...2 minutes!? If you follow me on Twitter you would've seen that I was up at around 4am that morning for the Alesford Country Show for work and so I was absolutely shattered!!! It was such a shame as I had made such an effort, as had they and I felt really bad but I did Dress Up! And I did go!! So it counts to do a post :P x


Full Outfit
Right now, as I am sure some of you can remember from the Predicted post I actually had NOTHING to wear!? D: aha, but I went out the very next day after that post and found this Gorgeous Jumpsuit in TK Maxx (modbox bit) for only £14.99! And considering it's such a beautiful colour and style, knowing me, I'll probs wear it anyways! So I went with it and this is what it ended up looking like!
My shoes are just some old-ey sandals I had from Peacocks agees ago :)You can see I went with the big round ring and I just tied my hair up in intervals down my pony tail :)




























Products Used :)

The Beautiful Paris Hilton Hollywood Lashes :') x

So for my eyes I used Urban Decay's Naked 2 Palette, shades I used were Half Baked, Chopper & a little smudgin' of Snakebite and Busted (one dip into either shadow and into crease).
I then used my GOSH Eyebrow Pencil to groom them a little but I wanted them to be a little more natural as I already have quite big brows :). I then drew a really, really long line with my LOOK beauty Flirty Flick liquid eyeliner-my Fave liner :') and added my gorgeous Paris Hilton Hollywood Lashes. I also lined my lower lashline and waterline with NYC's Kohl pencil in white.
Then I drew a line under my brows with Benefit's High Brow Glow, and adorned my cheekbones with a dabbing of SunBeam-I really wanted a true Bronzed up-Arab-Princess-Glowey look...Aha >.<
After that I slicked on some Estee Lauder's Blushing Lipstick, this is THE perfect Jasmine Neutral/pinky colour. After all this I then buffed and buffed and buffed a LOT of Nars' Laguna Powder in my contour regions and then dusted Benefit's One Hot Minute Powder all over my face (almost as though it was a setting powder).
My full cute, bronzed up Jasmine Face :') x
You can also see my Jewellery here, the Heart on top of my head is actually a necklace I just pinned up!
Remember to use stuff you already have! The earrings and necklace I had from my Prom :)

This look was really, really fun to do and I also think quite simple and easy! It made me feel very pretty and I may do this again for a dress-up party :D I want to say a HUGE thank you to Jess for inviting me and apologise once again for not staying (Horse Shows are NOT an easy thing to do :P) and to say I wish her and Jake a long time of Happiness as they do look ever so cute together as Micky & Minnie :3.
AND LOOK AT THAT CAKE! I MEAN...ermagahd D:


Thanks for reading guys! Hope you liked this look :) x x x
