b-e-a-utiful dress's

 I am in LOVE with these two dresses from http://www.jonesandjonesfashion.com. I was just flicking through Glamour magazine, saw an advert this site and I absolutely love the dresses. The black dress is currently £60 and the sequin dress is in the sale for £35. I've been looking for my perfect little black dress that I could jazz up with some bright heels and this is definitely the one!

i went shopping - make up ;)

So I have had real bad problems with my skin lately. Breaking out all over my chin and forehead, and I mean like red mountains!! They've been really sore and it puts me down, especially when all my friends have immaculate skin and only have to wear a little bit of tinted moisturiser and they are good to go!

All my spots are due to hormones, I don't get breakouts from skin products, at least I don't think I do! So I've changed my contraceptive pill back to one I had a couple of years ago that cleared them right up. The only reason I changed was because I thought that my skin may have been better, plus your not allowed to go on this certain pill for over 3 years. 

Blah blah blah, lets get to the point, I have a lot of redness wear my spots were so I went out and grabbed the Vichy Dermablend which I have been eyeing up for a while but not sure whether to go for it or not. I bought it in shade 15 opal which is the lightest shade (though I wouldn't say it was very light!) I've only used it twice and I already loveee it. Its very high coverage and a little goes a long way so I've been mixing it with Revlon's Photoready 003 Shell foundation. I bought this a week ago, and again this is a very good foundation, especially for covering my skin. Mixing them gives a nice glow and then I dab the dermablend into any redness and basically use it as a concealer.

I also bought this beautiful coloured Revlon nail varnish in 095 Facets of Fuchsia, which is on trend this fall. Which is a very dark, almost black purple with purpley/pink glitter. It looks awesome, and it got a lot of compliments last night at a work meal.

The last thing I picked up was from the brand FAMOUS in Superdrug, as they had a half price sale!! A lot of the good stuff was gone which I was gutted about. I already have a eyeshadow palette with 4 brown shades which create a great smokey eye, but I dropped it and can't close it properly. This was unfortunately sold out as it was about £3. So instead I picked up the 'Complete Face Kit' which has all 4 colours in... 18 eyeshadows all together! Which must be the whole range. This was about £4/£4.50 (I can't remember exact) and it's brilliant. The colours are so pigmented and amazing for nights out. They all are shimmery which is great as I'm off to uni soon and will need this for freshers ;) Also there is a bronzer, blush and highlighter, a choice of 6 lip colours and a mirror! What a bargain!!!

oh hello

haven't edited a photo in ages. 

was bored and i wanted a snap with my cushions i made and my h&m jumper :)

photograaaaphy!

So basically, in September I will be starting a Photography course at University which I'm very nervous and excited about!! 

So I thought I'd share a few photos that are hanging about on my laptop on here!

 Lauren Conrad is definitely my favourite icon, I love everything about her, her hair, style, make up and personality! I have photos of her on my mirror and occasionally base my make up and hair around hers (sad I know, just being truthful here ha!). I wouldn't say my style was just like hers though, she looks very elegant, then again she lives a different lifestyle. I like a plain white tee shirt and jeans with a nice handbag, and hoodies, especially as it's always so cold in England!!

perfect nude ahhhh!

Soooooooo I recently was have a good old browse at the make up at the GOSH counter in Superdrug and spotted a concealer looking lipstick, swiped up to try and and automatically fell in love. IT'S THE PERFECT COLOUR HURRAY! 

Getting to the point, it's nice and creamy, not too matte or pigmented in a good way (basically it doesn't come out like a Barry M lip paint which I used to use in 101).

IT'S NICE AND GLOSSY :)

When I do a swatch on my hand it's a shiny skin colour haha!

Basically, if you like the foundation lip look then definitely pick this one up ;)

BIG hair :)

I've had my hair rollers for a ages and tried to used them with damp hair and oh my god it would have taken days for my hair to dry. So I gave up with them. Until I watched a video by SWalker Makeup on Youtube and she curled her hair first to give it the heat, then put the rollers in straight after each curl and left them for about 15-30 minutes to cool. So I had time to kill one evening and gave it a go...


Looking very attractive here as you can see.... Not.



























Sorry about the awful quality, they were taken on my webcam. But, I loveeeeeeeeeed my hair, it was so nice, and I put some of my VO5 Argan Oil on the ends where it had frizzed a bit from the curls. And put in some hair spray (which is the worst hairspray ever and does not hold - damn you Tresemme). But I did love it, especially as my hair is so straight and flat usually, it was a nice change.

Ta- Daaaaaaaaaaah!
