French Braid Fringe

BEAUTY
September 17 2011

A very fun and easy way I’ll be wearing my hair this fall, as I’m nursing it back to health! If you want, you could add a styling serum or moisturiser before the braid, and spray it afterwards with a holding spray! I really like ORS Olive Oil moisturiser and Tresseme’s Holding Spray! 🙂 All you need for the braid.. Comb Hair tie Bobby Pins Hope you try it!

Glossy Eyes & Berry Lips

BEAUTY
September 9 2011

This is a look that i’ve been longing to sport ever since I saw it on a model some time ago!  It’s the glossy eye, achieved by using a flesh coloured eyeshadow swept across the lid, and a few dabs of vaseline! Ah-mazing huh? I thought a berry lip would compliment the look, so I mixed two of my favourite plum lipsticks to get this shade.  I hope you give it a go! 🙂 Products Used..

Nice, Mavala. ( + Half Moon Nails Tutorial)

BEAUTY
July 25 2011

I was doing my routine nail polish change and thought to do something a little different. I had seen a few photos of Rihanna and some others sporting this Half Moon Nail Look, and I wanted to try it. It’s my first time, so it’s not as perfect, but I still like it. I filmed a tutorial of how to do it, just in case you wanted to give it a go! 🙂 This polish is a lovely orangey/red from Mavala. I love the texture, and applying it was simple and fuss free! At only £2.99 a bottle, I’d say… Read More »

Cobalt Touch.

BEAUTY
June 3 2011

We’re all used to the usual Black Eyeliner, but why not switch it up with a bit of colour? There’s a genius way of doing this… Spray some MAC Fix + on an Angled Eye liner Brush, then Dip it into any colour you want (I used a Cobalt Blue) and line those eyes! I filmed this one in collaboration with Klaire De Lys, who’s a lovely youtuber! I hope you enjoy! xo What I used… ~ Face ~ Foundation : MAC Face + Body (C7) (Sleek Foundation Brush)Powder : MAC Mineralise Skin Finish Natural (Dark) Concealer : MAC Studio… Read More »

New Haircut.

BEAUTY
April 27 2011

Thanks mum. I feel like I’m finding myself. You know that feeling when you realise what makes you tick and all that jazz. I was looking at some of my old posts and videos (from 2 years ago..) and was thinking about how different a person I was compared to who I am now. Growth. I initialy just needed a trim and decided (spur of the moment) to get a little bit more off. I like it. 😉 Off to see Michelle later in the city, I’ll probably shoot my outfit then too! ..xo Lipstick : Morange (MAC)

Glow.

April 25 2011

(Makeup Tutorial) Ahh soft and glowy makeup, you’ve got to love it! It’s quite easy to achieve and it looks amazing on everyone. Face The key is to prime and apply a light foundation to keep the skin looking natural. Light Bronzing or Contouring/Highlighting will add dimension to the face and applying a cheek colour that is close to your natural blush will give a subtle “glowing from within” look.  Primer : MAC Prep + Prime Skin Brightening Serum Foundation : MAC Face + Body Foundation (C7) Concealer : MAC Studio Finish Concealer (NC45) Contour/Highlight : Sleek Kit Blush :… Read More »
