L.F DOES A/W - POWER BROW

After my spell of featuring thin arched brows, I turned to the other side this week. If you have naturally bold full brows... I envy you! I was inspired by the ombre fade of the eyebrows and the eye-shadow - it balances the graphic edge of the brows to give a more softer overall appearance. 
I've cropped this weeks image...the left side didn't look symmetrical.

KEY PRODUCTS:
ILLAMASQUA LIPSTICK - ENCOUNTER
ILLAMASQUA CREAM PIGMENT - EMERGE
ILLAMASQUA POWDER EYE SHADOW - FLASHER
SHU UEMURA GLOW ON BLUSH - MEDIUM AMBER 761
WET AND WILD COLOR ICON - SILENT TREATMENT
MAYBELLINE GEL EYELINER - BLACK

Hey guys, sorry for the belated post but here's this weeks look! Taking a break from my usual love for thin stylised brows and taking a nod to the Cara brow = full, structured and bold.
I initially started with a green khaki crease and then when I shaped the brows, I let the black slowly merge together - the subtle nuance of colour compliments the punchy red lip and everything else was kept minimal and simple (contoured the face like mad).
Hope you like this weeks look, are you sporting a fuller brow this season?

L.F RAMBLES - ME

Sorry if you find these a bit grim, but it made my walk to uni more interesting. 
St Sushi is the best Japenese restaurant in Newcastle .
New to my collection. Perfect for speed walking to uni because it takes me at least 35 mins to get into uni by foot. Short legs = not cool.
  1. I still HATE maths. Especially mental maths. I got a 'C' for GCSE but that was a struggle!
  2. I love SUSHI. I can literally eat the stuff everyday - ask my flatmates/friends.
  3. I have a 'slight' fear of dogs without leashes, I usually freeze up till they pass.
  4. Insane tolerance to spicy food from working at a Thai place. 
  5. I'm into horoscopes/zodiac shizzle. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn and proud!
  6. I enjoy reading food blogs reviewing junk food, even though I have no intention on eating them.
  7. Die Antwoord is my favourite band right now. Keeping it ZEF.
  8. Make-up was a happy accident. Self taught and still loving it to do this day.
  9. My actual phobia: anyone self harming (cutting). I really can't watch/hear anything to do with it - fictional or not. It makes me feel kind of faint and sick.
  10. I collect fashion/make-up publications, coffee table books, patterned tins/boxes and anything done by Illustrators I admire.
  11. Totally into high fashion - but I don't really show it with my own personal style. 
  12. I have the most awesome friends ever - so lucky to have such amazing individuals in my life.
  13. My favourite fruit are nectarines.
  14. 'Currently' a pescaterian. I lasted 2 months last year (for fun) and I've decided to start again this year - hopefully I'll last longer or for life maybe? :)
  15. I'm pretty shy and private in 'real life' - which is kind of ironic why I have a blog sharing everything about myself to the world. 
  16. I hide behind my shy-ness and low confidence by hanging around with really loud and outgoing people. FYI friends: I'm not using you - I do like you anyway.
  17. I'm an introvert. SURPRISE. 
  18. I HATE it when people tell me they are "bored". 
  19. Serious workaholic once I get going. I choose work over play A LOT. 
  20. I have 10 piercings :)
  21. I love watching documentaries and really trashy reality TV programmes... I know tell me about contrast and having no taste ;)
  22. Marc Jacobs is my favourite fashion designer, but I also love Riccardo Tisci and Gareth Pugh.
  23. I don't like celebrating my own birthday. It's too ME-CENTRIC and I hate attention.
  24. I can't drink coffee anymore and this saddens me.
  25. I get really spray happy with perfume.

Hey guys, I thought I'd do a fun facts about me this week so you get to know me a bit better - some of these you might know about already (my excessive fan girling of Die Antwoord) and some might be news to you today.
