Online Shopping

Hi Everyone!

I got a parcel in the mail a while ago (I got so excited it wasn't even funny) and when I opened it, I saw some recent purchases off of an online shopping site, Brands Exclusive. I love this website because they sell almost every thing and it's always on sale so I went online and I saw that the website was selling Revlon products  they were cheaper than they are in the shops. 

(Again, sorry the photos are still pretty crappy, I still don't have the best camera in the world)

I purchased a few products. I got a Brow Enhancer Pen it's a two in one tinted wax and highlighter for blonde/golden eyebrows because although I have brown hair my eyebrows are very fair so basically the lighter the better for me. The wax for on the actual eyebrows to give them some shape and some beauty also the highlighter is a golden shimmery colour that is supposed to sit just below the eyebrow on the brow bone, personally, I don't particularly like this look so I think I'll just stick with the tinted wax for the time being. 

The colour is in number 183 Lilac Pastelle

I got a nail polish (oh, how unlike me) and I've kept my eye on these kind of colours for a while now and I'm glad I got it, the colour is quite translucent and it needs a couple of coats to be a solid colour on your nails but when it's on it looks pretty an I think that it would look great on lots of skin tones. It's a very nice pastel purple with some pinkish undertones. 

The colour is in 006 Pink Sugar

And finally, the very first lipstick that I've brought for myself (how exciting). I originally wanted something nude but I with held as I couldn't really find anything that grabbed my attention. So I instead stuck to the extremely original version, pink lips. I like this so much when I saw it, I was pleasantly surprised when I opened this up and swatched it on my hand, I thought that it would be more of a pigmented colour but it has more of a lip gloss look but when it's on it does feel like a lipstick. There is a subtle golden shimmer in the colour, I didn't notice the shimmer on the lipstick but I like it a lot even though it was unexpected.

Well, that's it. I feel like I've rambled on a bit today but oh well. I haven't posted in a while, I'm sorry about that. I've had completely no motivation to do anything lately and the creative juices haven't exactly been flowing. So, therefore there has been no blog post.

3 Days, 3 Hairstyles

Hi everyone!

Last weekend when we were away (post here) I kinda chucked my hair up and well, to be honest, I really quite liked it and I thought that I may sorta explain how I put it together and put some pictures on how it looked (don't mind the yet again crap-ola iPhone shots).

So it just happened that the style I did for myself was on three day old washed hair.

1. As I only have wavy natural hair and not curly natural hair, I got my sister to braid it before we went anywhere. I left it in for the rest of the day and slept on it that night.

Back view, a good braid in tacked from my sister (thanks sis!)

Top view, a few fly aways but I'm used to it because my hair is layered.

2. On the second day I took my hair out in the morning and left it out for the day and if it got in the way I put it up in a loose pony tail so it didn't crease the curls too much.

This is how curly my hair gets after it been braided and slept on over night.

Front view, sometimes I think that my fringe looks a little bit odd at the front so I just use a head band to keep it our of my face.

3. The final day I decided to go for something different for a change and plaited the bottom half of my hair that sits at the nape of the neck. Then i twirled the plait into a bun and pinned it in place with bobby pins to hold it together and then pulled out little side bits to frame my face a bit more.

This was the final look of the night, it didn't fall out and looked great.

 Make-up: Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation, Revlon Age Defying DNA Concealer, Maybelline Define-A-Lash Mascara

Clothes: K-Mart Floral T-Shirt (pure class, i know), Jay Jays Striped Jumper (1-2 Years old), Jeans West Skinny Jeans, Studded Black Flats from Spend-Less-Shoes

Left side view, I twisted and pinned my fringe out of my face

Right Side view

Back view, It's kind of a fuzzy picture because there was bad lighting and iPhone Camera (not a good combo, sorry) but that's what it looks like.

I think that this style is very versatile for day and night wear and can definitely be pulled off at any hour. It's a messy look with a bit of sophistication.
