'LAST DAY', ART SHOW AND WENT DRINKING

Photo stolen from someones f.book. Do you like my SUBTLE cropping?! Look, L.F is happy for once (not forced)!!

Think this was around 11:30pm ish? Didn't stay out that long. Sorry no tutorial on this but I had to do my friends make-up so was strapped with time. The makeover went well the only thing I changed was the blusher. I asked if I could 'take' a photo from the prom to put on here so you can guys can see the end result :)

OPI- GIVE ME MOOR! Look at the chips. I painted them yesterday!! Sucks :(

Outfit! I am wearing my H&M top from my photo diary post and Topshop necklace and jeans. Shoes not shown was New Look high heels. I think I look Kurt Cobain-y.

P.H.G.S 03-10

L.F DOES ART PART 2

Kelly Thompson influenced me A LOT.

Main piece

Exam prep' work!

As promised! My card decided not to malfunction for once. Sorry the images are not perfectly focused I was feeling rather 'meh'. Elly is showing off her work too!! I'm listening to Babyshambles' Fuck Forever. I feel so old haha.

L.F RAMBLES - THE END

She's my form tutor or was. She also taught me GCSE French! How sweet is that message? I felt quite emotional. Go Ehret!!!! She had to put up with mine and Elly's French lingo queries and my lack of turning up on Tuesdays!!!

All the small things!!!

Bare in mind I've been rocking this for a week now?! Pretty good for me in terms of chips. This is Models Own's- Nude Beige! £5 from Boots and also ASOS :)

Hey guys!! Tomorrow L.F will of sort-of officially left high school! 7 YEARS!!! Crazy right? I say sort-of because our official one is on 2nd of July.

Anyway not sure how I feel or suppose to. I'm generally quite a pessimistic person but I do believe in moving on- with paths and the people you currently surround yourself with. Maybe in a couple of months I'll start to miss things /people but on the whole I don't feel any particular sadness especially towards 'friends'. Sorry I guess my pessimistic side has come out.

Encase your wondering I did enjoy my time even though I don't sound overly enthusiastic. I've made good friends, I studied the subjects I liked and the teachers were great (some). So yes, GO P.H.GS CLASS OF YEAR 10!

P.S- CURRENTLY LOVING HOLE- CELEBRITY SKIN :)

STAM, JESSICA STAM

ALL IMAGES TAKEN FROM GOOGLE

Hey guys, quick post! I'm at school but I've finally finished everything for art or at least that's all I'm going to do haha. Will finally post the photos of my final art piece if my card doesn't malfunction tonight (please don't).

Anyway this post is about my favourite all time model- Jessica Stam.

I've always liked fashion advertisements and a slight fascination with the models in them- cause lets face it their perfect in every way. Yes I am a victim to just a pretty face.

I think the first ever model I was obsessed with was ironically everyone's favourite Kate Moss. At first I didn't get the fuss but then we had this geography project in year 9? about focusing on someone/something that has effected the world and I chose Kate. She's so stunning there is just something about her which makes her so effortlessly beautiful be it when she's running from the paparazzi or posing on the beach.

Anyway back to Stam, I can't pin point a specific moment when I started to like her but I'm the sort of person who can get obsessive and loyal with something very quickly ( I know it sounds slightly creepy lol). So now even after 3 years if I see her in a campaign in the street I'm like "STAM!" and I keep every editorial/advertisements I see her in. I think I am fascinated with her because of her doll-like face and her ice blue feline eyes and yeah she's just beautiful!

Another reason I like her even more is Marc Jacobs naming the infamous Stam bag after her.

Enjoy the photos and feel free to share your favourite model :)

S.H'S PROM TRIAL

Hey everyone, here are the photos from my good friend S.H's prom make-up trial! The trial went really well and I'm glad it was done at my house as S.H could see all the products available and I felt more relaxed in my own environment.

Apparently my room looks like how she thought my room would look like haha! Anyway S.H was again very up for experimentation and was wiling to let me 'do my own thing'. The look reminds me of a bridal look. Its very 'natural' and enhances her GORGEOUS blue eyes. The real day is on Friday and will take take photos etc. We started at around 1:15pm and ended at 3pm, which included consultation and cleansing skin etc.

L.F after school today! I need more sleep. Look at my dark circles creeping in :(

No fashion guru but....from H-T:

ZARA- £16? It sums up how I feel on a Monday morning!

SOME 'VINTAGE' SHOP IN HEADINGLEY- £8. I love the print!

PRIMARK- £2.50? Opaque tights.

Nars blush in Desire- £19.50. I know it looks scary but you only need a tiny amount! It really brightens the face :)

Nars eye-shadow duo in Kilamanjaro- £23?

My freelance make-up diary! I have a trial tomorrow with my good friend S.H :)

PHOTO UPDATE 3

22/05/2010- NARS DAY! I'm wearing NARS sheer matte foundation in Fiji, eye-shadow duo's in Misfit and Kilimanjaro and blush in Torrid! I got a few compliments wearing this which is always nice and excuse the just-got-out-of-shower hair! I don't pull of the Ursula Andress look I'm afaird...

I'm starting to get into H&M again. For awhile I just didn't bother going in cause it was rather 'meh'. Some good stuff nowadays though! I also like how H&M always comes out with cool carrier bags. Yes I'm that sad! And how stunning is Lara Stone (the one in yellow)?!

H&M- £7.99, I think I'll be wearing this on Friday where I'm off to an art show and afterwards off to celebrate the end of high school for everrrrrr!!!

I'm a bit of a hoarder and collect useless things! I love Kate though, she's effortlessly beautiful and an absolute chameleon. I picked this up whilst visiting my friend who works at Topshop... Hi E.S!

I finally got round to checking out the new M.A.C collections. There wasn't any stand out products. I haven't bought any M.A.C in aggggggggges. I walked off with this postcard though... Did I ever tell you I collect their postcards?

OPI original nail envy- £18? I used to have quite good nails then they went all flaky and weak :( I'll tell you if this works or not.

Barry M dazzle dust in Bronze- £4.50, pigmented and great for summer.

Today was so hot!! I like summer primarily because I like to wear sun-glasses. These are my favourite pair by Betsey Johnson and is similar to the much copied Ray Ban wayfarers.

Nars sheer glow sample in Ceylon. Fiji is too dark for me :(

Models Own nail polish in Nude Beige- £5. Boots now stock Models Own btw.

Nars eyeshadow duo in Kilimanjaro- £23, I got this from a blog sale for £10.50 including P&P so pretty good bargain! Nars describes this as icy yellow and icy blue and are both iridescent.

Tropicana pure premium- £2.03 from Sainsbury. I've tried Ruby Breakfast too and I like they are NOT from concentrate!

Hope you liked my photo diary. I will be doing another post this week as I'm doing a prom job and also what I'll be wearing to art show/celebrating end of high school. WOO. I'm excited.

L.F DOES ART

8:30 AM- START OF DAY 2 OF ART EXAM! JUST SORTING OUT THE STUFF I NEED.

THESE ARE THE LEGS I'VE YET TO COMPLETE! THEY ARE MICHELLE'S BTW.

I WAS HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY A FEMALE FASHION ILLUSTRATOR WHICH I WILL ADD A PIC/HER NAME IN MY NEXT POST WHEN I'LL SHOW YOU MY FINISHED PIECE ON FRIDAY! HER WORK HAD THESE 'SWIRLS' WHICH INSPIRED ME AND REMINDS ME OF THE BODY PAINT THEY PAINTED ON A RECENT RODARTE SHOW :)

MESS!

SEMI-FINISHED FACE.

2:30 PM- FINISHED FACE AND LEG... AND THE BEGINNINGS OF THE BODY.

FINISHED LEGS?! MY PEERS SEEM TO LIKE THE LEGS A LOT. MAY ADD BRUSHO INKS LATER TO ADD COLOUR... HMM.

Hey guys! Just quick update from me. This post should be on my art blog but my mum suggested maybe my lovely 7 subscribers (thank-you!!!!) would want to see other interests of mine.

The exam is 3 days long and started on Monday but I forgot to bring my camera to record the start. Anyway here's from day 2 (today)! Time flies by so fast. One minute you start then its break, lunch and home-time! Gahh. I'm sort of on schedule just need to add the arms and finish the body! As you can see I like mixing different mediums. This piece mixes ball-point pen drawings, collages, inks and machine embroidery! The theme is 'passions and obsessions' and my take on it is the fashion-couture world! And if you look closely I've incorporated the photos from my recent make-up looks into it!

Finished piece will be on my next post and lastly:

1. I've ordered 8* OCC lip tars
2. I LOVE LCD SOUNDSYSTEM'S- SOMEONE GREAT!

PHOTO UPDATE 2

5/05/10- I was debating whether to upload this or not but this is my typical school/college look! Its from after school so its not 'fresh' and I have my typically moody face on. Its quite a departure from my 'heavy' looks you usually see from me don't you think?

Topshop - £8. I love it and I've been constantly wearing it ever since I bought it. It reminds me of Madonna circa the 80s or Givenchy fall 2007 or 2008? Don't quote me! I'm too lazy to do some research...... well Google.

From Paris. I bought it from some famous cathedral I can't remember. Pretty unique me thinks.

Marc by Marc Jacobs - ASOS. Not sure if they still stock this watch but I picked it out for my 18th. I love black accessories/jewelry and Marc Jacobs. So my ideal watch!

Sleek make-up's tinted lip conditioner in electro peach- £4. Similar or shall I say rip-off of M.A.C's tinted lip conditioners. I love the formula it gives a 'juicy' effect :)

NARS sheer matte/glow - £29. I still love sheer matte but I tried sheer glow recently and "omg" it's so good! I'm no good at reviews but it gives medium coverage and a soft satin glow finish whilst still looking natural of course!

04/05/10 - I will admit I was not a huge 'fan' or anything before. Rather I don't really care much for the music scene any more but I went with my friends and was absolutely amazing! Loved the energy! My first ever gig and swear my entire school went (exaggeration) because every time I turned around I recognised a face! Conclusion? Amazing and was drenched (exaggeration again) of beer at the end of the night.

Hope you liked my photo update. I think you maybe wondering what happened to my hiatus?! Its still on! Art exam next week and it's kicked in I don't have much time before my other exams.... my first 'proper' one is on June the 9th!
