13 Q'S

BEST CREEPY HAMSTER IMPRESSION GOES TO..... ME.

I finally had a hair cut. And so the full fringe returns again.

The questions:

1. What do you order at Starbucks?

2. What's one thing in your closet you cant live without?


3. What's one thing people may not know about you?


4. What's one thing you want to do before you die?


5. What's one food you cant live without?


6. What's one quote you live your life by?


7. What do you like and dislike about the YouTube community?


8. What's your number one most listened to song on iTunes? 

9. What kind of style would you describe yourself as having?

10. Favorite number?

11. Two Hobbies.

12. Two pet peeves. 

13. Guilty pleasure.

1. Mocha (cold day) or mocha frappuccino (hot day) but I'm not sure I can still drink them without feeling ill.

2. REALLY boring but black vest tops. I wear them underneath pretty much everything to avoid 'exposing' myself.

3. I fainted whilst I was on the loo (16?), and I had to go to hospital as I had massive 'gash' on the back of my head. Nice.

4. Be with all my family and loved ones.

5. Recently I've been loving green olive bread but I can live without it, um......probably pasta?!

6. I don't think I have ONE ultimate quote I swear by. But I quite like "everything happens for a reason."

7. Like= entertains me, I rather watch YouTube videos then television! I dislike the adverts but I understand why they are there and everything. I think I've become an expert at clicking the mute now.

8. Be Your Own PET- Black Hole.

9. Day/college- casual 12 year old boy. Night/effort- minimal and hopefully 'chic'!

10. 12, always have done.

11. Playing with make-up and blogging!

12. I might sound hypocritical... but EXTREME moaners. I usually only moan to friends I know will tolerate me and even then I try and limit myself. But people who moan about mass-off unresolvable problems (example uni fee's). WHAT?! Why are you telling ME. It's like deal with it! Your not the only one in the UK affected. People singing around me (who are not 'professionally trained' ahem) also winds me up. I don't want to hear your 'talent' please!

13. Come Dine with Me marathons. Ah bliss. 

I've not actually been tagged but I like the questions and you get to know a bit more about me. 

I TAG ANYONE WHO WANTS TO DO IT! 

L.F RAMBLES - "SHAKE IT TO THE RIGHT"

How random!?

 Try find me!

Mine and A.J's face. Actually quite fun except the crappy pens they had.

Typically me, my artist is called Bijoux and sports a black bob. 

We both have a lovely 80's theme going on also....

 A.J is pleased with our work!

Scooter!

L.F DOES S/S - MARNI 2011 INSPIRED MAKE-UP

Source

Click here to see what Tom Pecheux used in the show and his inspiration behind the look.

My version! The lipstick is very washed out here because I was experimenting with a pastel orange base underneath. Morange is BRIGHT. More TTL in the images above!

I know there's a lack of photos, so in the video you get to the eye shape etc in more detail. P.S I was really tired so major apologies for the added "erms" throughout. The pause half way through the video is because I thought the camera had frozen, so I had a little stare out with the camera lol.


KEY PRODUCTS:
BOBBI BROWN LONG WEAR GEL EYE-LINER - BLACK INK
M.A.C LIPSTICK - MORANGE

Hey guys, back with a S/S look. It's essentially a  graphic eye paired with a strong fresh lip.
 I've personally changed the shape of the liner so the tail flicks up (mod/60's style) and softened it with a grey eyeshadow (by Illamasqua but the name has rubbed off, sorry!).
 I found the girls seemed to have more of matte finish to the face so I used a matte foundation and made the brows much fuller to mimic a natural full brow.
This look is also good if you want to practice your M.U skills. It's all about precision and getting everything perfected, as it's so minimal any mistakes will stand out. This look took me awhile and I still had a little mis-hap with the eyes (explained in vid').
Talk soon!

HAULIN' 6 - YORK DESIGNER OUTLET

THE BODY SHOP

Oil paper holder - £0.25p and shimmer cubes palette 18- £5.00 (originally £15)

L-R: green shimmer, precious pink, silver sparkle, pearly white

I love iridescent shades, these colours will look great layered over with E.L.F's eye transformer.

I like how the cubes are in little pots so are handy to take out. Also the formulas are really interesting. It's creamy yet has a powder texture so it gives the texture of a cream product without the sliding around business. I hope anyway. I wouldn't buy them full price personally just because I find them too expensive for what they are!

CCO- M.A.C

£50.50 FOR THE LOT!!!

M.A.C 165 tapered cheek/highlight brush- £18.75

I had a feeling this was limited edition. Perfect for contouring. Pretty sure Pixiwoo used this. Always an incentive.

L-R- M.A.C reflects blue glitter (£9.25), pan eye-shadows in brun and kid (£6.65) and pan blush in style (£9.00).

GLITTER!

Swatches, in same order as above and the glitter isn't showing up :(

Hey guys. So the main reason I went to Y.D.O was for the C.C.O (Estee Lauder Companies) which is basically a shop full of Estee Lauder owned brands at discounted prices, so you'll find Clinique, Bobbi Brown, Estee Lauder and M.A.C! I think you can guess my main interest was M.A.C, but I did look at the other stuff but it was rather want than need (Estee Lauder had LOADS of stock). 

I've been to Y.D.O before and I can say last time M.A.C was WAY better with the stock (loads more products available). So yeah that's all I got. Well, I did pick up other stuff too... But I don't really fancy showing you guys my bras lol.

DIOR INSPIRED SS08 70'S EYES

Super blending!!! If I say so myself :P

NOTE I'VE ACCIDENTALLY REPOSTED THIS, THIS IS FROM YEARS AGO!

THAT GLAMOUR OFFER

Yes I did indeed pick up two magazines..... awesome deal still!

10 to choose from, but hurry up. I had to do a lot of searching and this was at 11am... pfft.

Forgot to mention this on my last post. Topshop glaze in bronze. Limited edition (I believe) and was only £1 (note in sale!!)... so why not? The colour bronze isn't the type of colour I'm typically drawn to but it's so pretty over a nude lipstick. Will show you guys at some point. And also a good tip in recycling any 'urgh' shades, try them over lipsticks!

I used to HATE creme eggs but now I'm addicted to these calorific eggs.

HAULIN' 5

My college were selling all the back issues of the The Face so after some digging around I picked these. Can you guess why?!

PIKA PIKA!

 Belated present (thank-you E.S)! I already own M.A.C VIVA GLAM Cyndi, so yay to another backup and I think its officially gone now... on the website anyway.

M.U.A eyeshadow- shade 12 (£1)

Apparently a dupe for M.A.C's club eye-shadow. My photos don't justify the awesome blue-green duo chrome effect. 

 Ruth pipped me to the post. Basically I was with a friend in Harvey Nichols and a Aveda S.A was going round giving away these vouchers (consultation to their 3 step and you get to trial it). Very generous promotion, and the SA took her time to 'analyse me'. The counter where I went to had a stack of the vouchers at the till area, so maybe worth having a look  at your nearest Aveda counter. PLUS they give you a £10 off voucher is you buy the system.

HG cleanser and I'm pleasantly surprised with the Grease Lightning sample they gave me, it feels nice on the skin and I *think* it's helping my skin to be spot free.
