"VOGUE" MODEL: THE FACES OF FASHION OVERVIEW

 Stam!

Hey guys, I hope you enjoy the book overview. I'd definitely recommend it 
 just for the photography and make-up/decade references alone.

Amazon sells the book for £25.10 including free delivery.

NAIL-IT

MODELS OWN- my favourite nail polish brand! My only gripe is that it has toluene in!!
Champagne, Coral Reef, Lilac Dream and Nude Beige

O.P.I NAIL LAQUER- good but too pricey!
Give Me Moor, My Daddy Is The King and Isn't It Romantic?

Me wearing I.T.R it has a really cool blue pearl duo-chrome, which you can see from the flash!

GOSH- love Rainbow!!!
Holographic, Purple Heart and Rainbow

N.Y.C- really like too!
Manhattan and West Villiage

EYEKO- nice but formula quite sheer so need to build up!
Cosmic, Indigo and Vintage

COLLECTION 2000- don't like formula, really hard to work with!
Button Moon and Hoola Hoop

NAILS INC- chips on me like crazy!!!
Victoria and lost name of the other one sorry!

RIMMEL- cheap and cheerful! Like.
Red Carpet and Sky High

Hey guys, I should really dedicate this post to Miss Steer (obsessed- actually our running joke is she got me into nail polishes and I got her into M.A.C :p) and the whole blogging world because I did not have the slightest interest in nail polishes until both came into my life.
The ones that I have shown are the ones that I wear most often/like (I've missed out Barry M's Mushroom!!!).
I generally like to wear really dark nails and for a change wear a bold colour or go all 'nude'.

Talk soon and I'd like to see your collection/favourites :)

HAULIN' 2

Note I had this make-up on for a good 8 hours! For once the weather was actually nice so had the opportunity to dig out my sun-glasses- yay! However I 'HATE' sunny weather, it makes my oh-so-annoying oily skin, well more annoying. ATM not sure if the benefits of a wrinkle free forehead and nose will be worth the wait.
Anyway I decided to do a thick winged out eyeliner today and the lady at M.A.C was like "ohhh, did you do it yourself?" Which is always nice :D Random tangent but how old do I look? I'm not bothered about aging but I hate how I just have this 'mature' not 18 face'!!!

Zara- £9.99, so pricey for me (and TOTALLY not worth the price tag) but I just love the print of cats!! DAMN you Miu Miu!!!!

Models Own- Lilac Dream £5
Rimmel London 60 seconds- 825 Sky High £4?!

Back-to-M.A.C! I know I have quite a few lipsticks but I wanted a 'everyday' wearable shade that made my lips look natural-but-better! So I picked Fanfare lipstick which is a cremesheen formula and is described by M.A.C as a mid-tone yellow pink.

Bad bad bad L.F. Models Own- Champagne £5 and the nail thingy-ma-bob came free (usually £3). Utter impulse buy!

Ardell Fashion Lashes- 117 £5, these are for my prom btw!

I LOVE Ardell lashes and I'm so glad the UK now stock them. They are as you can see 100% human hair, which means they not only super-lightweight and easy to put on they blend really naturally unlike the typical plastic kind.

They come in a huge range of designs (Boots anyway) and I chose these babies instead of the infamous demi-wispies ( which I do love too) as I wanted something different. I know the lashes are dramatic but I think you can tell I don't mind experimenting. For those who like more 'classic' tame lashes they stock more subtle designs too :)

Topshop- £3 (sale). I would NEVER pay the usual £12, pffft. Thinking of wearing this with white shirt, hair up with strong lips? Pretty sad that I'm planning a look for a non-existent event isn't it?

Hello guys!!! I am back with a teeny haul! Since my sister came back from uni' I haven't had time for 'sister time' with my exams and all and after my exams were over, times started clashing but today we finally had time to SHOP!

I did more of the shopping as usual and as usual I persuaded my sister to buy unnecessary items (hehehe, I so should be a sales women)! C.F being lovely also treated me to Wagamama's (never knew there was one in Leeds)! Which was nice and.....expensive! 'Fit' waiter though.......

Talk soon!

TRAFFORD CENTRE

Models own- £5

Nail polishes- Coral Reef and Lilac Dream
Neon lip and face paint- Neon Pink

I'm on a nail-polish kick!! 3 for 2 so I don't feel as bad. Not sure what I'm going to do with the neon face paint yet...

GOSH nail lacquers- £5 and 3 for 2 may I add!

L-R

546 RAINBOW- bought this purely because of loads of blog mentions. Damn you!!!
550 PURPLE HEART- after seeing Elly with this on I decided I 'needed' it. It reminds me of a beetle it flashes purple and green depending on the light.
549 HOLOGRAPHIC- I've been trying to find this EVERYWHERE ( well the Headingley Superdrug didn't have it )!


ZARA- £19.99

I love prints and I love Zara!

Miss Selfridge- £12.00

Summer scarf? Not really worth the tag but it will keep at bay my lemmings for a snood!!

SAD. SAD. SAD. I wasn't joking when I said I collect postcards!!! Couldn't find any M.A.C ones so some Illamasqua and Dolce & Gabbana ones will have to do!

Quick hi! Got told the night before we were off out with Michelle and co to Manchester. So no revision!! My mum decided to treat me and my sister and gave us some money to enjoy ourselves. Bad idea. My quick high has turned into guilt. I had to show her everything I bought... she wasn't impressed!!!

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 :)

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.
