48 hour tattoo eyeliner

48 hours, I know what you're thinking...yeah right. Okay it may not last 48 hours but it sure lasts more than 24, even when working out or swimming. The only problem I have found is when you are purposefully trying to remove the eyeliner it is a bit tricky.

The thin brush that comes with it allows you to do thin to thick lines and it easy to apply. So far it comes in two colours shown below.

Add colour to your winter run.

I won these sugar sugar leggings in a competition on IG, I finally got round to taking them out for a run. They are so comfortable honestly one of the best running leggings I have ever worn.
They are a bright retro style which in winter adds colour to the blandness not to mention they are super stretchy so you don't feel confined at all!
Currently only available on the US website.

Knitted dresses.

Finally not having to decide between being warm in jeans or cold in a dress in this winter. Knitted dresses are like wearing a really long jumper (as silly as that sounds). I'm so happy with my long knitted dress from Missguided.

Project social T - My warmest jumper.

So far one of my warmest jumpers has been this one by Project social T. Its fleece lined and so soft and the neck line allows you to have it off one should too (like I do just for a more personalized style).

I found this at topshop for £30

Boys jumpers are so cosy.

So I recently got my boyfriend a raglan style jumper from boohoo. He made the mistake of letting me try it on.... it is so warm and fluffy. I think it will become mine soon. It was a great price at £15 and they always have deals on with things such as delivery and discount codes.

This is in the grey marl.

Back In Black!

So I recently got this awesome bikini top from disturbia, but since coming home to the freezing cold Ive found it works great as a top by itself and under shirts, tops...well anything.

Its super comfy and makes me feel like my outfit has just that little bit extra!

A new amazing way to dye hair!

So when you go and get your hair dyed or touched up you normally have the hairdresser use a brush or foils.
Well now there is a completely new way HAND PRESSED COLOUR


This method includes clear plexiglass and a knife, this allows multiple patterns to be drawn onto the glass sheet. The hair colour is pressed onto the sheet a large amount of times and is placed on the glass in blobs.
Then they will take a section of hair  place it on the glass and use the knife to smooth the sections across the colour.

Its a new trend that is taking off and it looks fun too!

I wasn't a fan of the 70's style until...

I never saw myself loving 70s fashion but these revived pieces have changed my mind!
Id loveto one day own these and see if it suits me, but until then I can only dream!

Here are a few pictures with they're jewellery!

First a tiny camera super vintage!

My other favorite which I have previously blogged about are the ship earrings which are incredibly detailed!

A different way to wear a headscarf!

After a dream I had of things getting stuck in my hair I decided to use it as inspiration, by intertwining a headscarf into a french braid.

This was my first attempt.

I sectioned a small layer of hair from the very front of my hairline and clipped it forward, I then bobby pinned the head scarf to the root of my hair behind this layer. 

I then back combed the layer I had clipped forward and brushed it backwards to cover the scarf. 

Then sectioning the layer of hair into three (but making sure to include the scarf in one of the sections) I then carried on doing a french braid.

With the vast amount of different patterns and colours you can get head scarfs in you can easily match them to any outfit.

Swimming with Disturbia.

Not long until my holidays and I still needed a statement bikini. Well I found mine!

I have never found such grungey, gothic swimwear and I love it!

Catching the last of the summer sun in style.

As summer is coming to a close skinny jeans, oversized jumpers and parker coats are ready to come back out. I struggle in summer as Im not an overly girly person and summer embraces girly fashion. So I rocked up a pink paisley jumpsuit with a black lace kimono and a velvet choker.

I got the kimono from H&M

And the playsuit from Pull and Bear

Deep purple and smokey.

I tried to create a purple smokey eye that wasnt too heavy for the day time but could be slightly darkened or even worn out the same at night.

Heres the end result.

I did this using the barry M smoking hot palette (of course) I use the matte black, blusher, and dark metal grey in the crease. I concentrated the matte black towards the outer edge of the crease.
I then used pressed eye shadow by MUA cosmetics in the shade electric purple. I packed the purple on to the lid and blended it slightly into the crease.
I also combined the matte black and the electric purple to underline my lower lash line.

Heres what the colour looks like without the use of barry M.

Get that smokey eye on point!

The dark smokey eye, always angered me with fallouts, harsh transitions and the endless battle to blend. On those few occasions it went 'okay' within hours panda eyes just happened!

I have found the perfect pallette to create a great smokey eye (in both matte and glitter) along with highlight shades. It does come with a blush but I find the blus to be a perfect colour for the crease of your eye. It blends great and hardly any fall out with the powder.

Im talking about the Barry M smoking hot palette!

They also have videos on how to apply the shadows for other looks, they do this with all the eye palettes!

That amazing edgy cardigan you'll defiantly want this winter.

As long as I can remember I have always found it hard to find cardigans and jumpers that I like let alone love. Now summer is nearly over and we begin the decline back into the winter months I find myself on the search again.

The only difference this year I have found it....

The Ozzy Cardigan by MXCI.

http://www.mxci.bigcartel.com/product/ozzy-cardigan

Another Mac lipstick dupe at £1!

So I have another dupe for the mac lipstick in the shade Myth which cost £15.50. The dupe is by MUA Cosmetics and totals at only £1. Its their lipstick in the shade Totally Nude.

Mac - http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/
Mua - http://www.muastore.co.uk/

The lipstick by MUA is more matte than Mac but a clear lip gloss or balm can give it the same sheen.

Holiday essentials.

Cant wait for your holiday? Only problems.... Frizzy hair, makeup sliding off and never knowing what to even pack in the first place, Here are a few of my holiday essentials to help!





First for your hair, macadamia oil! Be careful not to put to much in and make your hair greasy. My hair is a natural frizzy mess but after using it and blow drying my hair straight after a shower its smooth, sleek with a bounce.
Best part of this besides the pretty packaging its only 99p and can be found in stores like home bargains and £1/99p stores.

For people who wear make up, here is my second essential, TALCUM POWDER/SETTING POWDER! You can use both to 'bake' your makeup. It keeps your makeup in place for longer and stops it sliding half way down your face.
Here's a video link if you're unsure what baking your face means.

Now clothes, or more importantly the statement bikini. Normally this would mean a red or white bikini but pastel are finally making it! Here is one from river island which I love and fingers crossed hope to one day own.

http://www.riverisland.com/women/swimwear--beachwear/bikinis/purple-textured-push-up-cami-bikini-top-672364

Of course you'll also need those statement bold shorts too! The best selection at the best price I've seen are on Boohoo.com, plus there are always offers on clothes and delivery.

For a more rock chic look I'd go for anything denim and ripped, they are normally my type of shorts.

Step by step guide to full over lined lips.

The best lipstick  for over lining has a matte finish, this is because your lips are set forward and a shine or silk finish shows this.

Sorry for my face, please ignore it ;)

First start with no makeup on the lips.

2, Following your qupids bow but about 1 cm higher draw what looks like a little mustache. I like to build this up as obviously your lips are more forward than above your qupids bow.

Step 3, join the mustache to the top lip. MAKE SURE YOU JOIN THE LINER TO YOUR ACTUAL LIPS IN THE CORNER. If you dont do this you will look like a fish/blow up doll (trust me I did it) then line underneath the bottom lip in the center (again about 1 cm away from your lips) I again went opver this line to thicken it.

Step 4, Join the liner to your natural bottom lips in the corner.

Step 5, Colour in the liner with lipstick!

There you go, fuller lips with no pain.
