*Firstly, sorry for the shoddiness of the photos. It was late so the lighting in the hotel room was naff :/*
Blue: Barry M ‘turquoise’
Pink: Models Own ‘pink punch’
Dark yellow: Barry M ‘yellow’
Light yellow: Models Own ‘lemon sherbet’
Black: Natural Collection liquid eyeliner
So just a little update whilst we still have the internet. :) You may have seen on twitter the other day that I painted my nails in ‘celebration’ of us finding a flat, ( I don’t know why I chose bananas, I just wanted a little change from my usual leopard print that I seem to have been wearing all the time recently. :/ ) We move in tomorrow morning! ^_^ It’s only small but it’s really cute & best of all, it’s pretty cheap! ^_^ I can’t wait to show you guys! would it be sad if I did a ‘flat tour’ video? Ahaha :)
*ps: I might be a little MIA for the next week or so whilst we get the internet sorted in our flat. Thank you for sticking around ;)*

Lipstick mix…

Check out my wonky front teeth ;)
Barry M: Palest lavender
Topshop: Brighton rock
I bought Barry M ‘palest lavender’ the other week basically just because I fancied trying out a purple lipstick because I thought it might me a nice contrast with my hair…& to be honest, it doesn’t look all that great on me on it’s own as you can see. lol As Lauren put it, you end up looking like a Titanic victim! lol

So after a little while of deciding how to wear it/what to do with it, I finally found it’s perfect ‘lipstick partner’ in Topshop ‘Brighton rock’. Layered together they make the most perfect violet pink!

Also, just a quick note…HOW FREAKING HARD IS IT TO TAKE DECENT ‘LIP’ PICTURES?!?!?!?! FML! Kudos to all you beauty bloggers who make it look a breeze because it most certainly is not! ahhaa!

Speak soon <3

WAAAAAAAAH!!!…

I’m going to sound really shallow when I say this but hey, breaking this MSF was one of the most devastating moments of my life. I actually cried. Sad, I know, but hey it cost me a fair few pennies!

As you have probably already guessed, the first mini montage of pictures is of my MAC Wonder Woman mineralise skin finish in all it’s brand new glory back in March, when it was all still in one piece. All I can at is that I was pretty ‘lucky’ that the highlighter sections didn’t fall out, otherwise, I would have been pretty screwed.

After I had mourned my beloved bronzer, ahaha, memories of numerous ‘how to fix powder make-up’ videos came flooding back! I watched a few & noticed that everyone was using something called ‘rubbing’ alcohol to, in effect, stick the powder back together. I then got all sad again because I didn’t have any of this ‘rubbing’ alcohol & I read somewhere that regular alcohol like vodka doesn’t work. :( Anyway, after sulking for a little while longer, I remembered that hand sanitiser has alcohol in it! YAY! I wasn’t sure if it would work but I thought I would try it anyway, just to see… & IT FREAKING WORKED LIKE A DREAM!!! ^_^ (even though it looks like a smeary poop.)

Moral of the story kids…don’t kick your make-up bag half way across the room when your angry, you will break your stuff! lol

Speak soon <3
