Inner Grunge

In anticipation of starting my make up course in just six days, I decided to play with my face for a night out. Instead of the usual brown smoky eye I usually go for I opted for something a bit more grungy. I decided to use gel liner as eyeshadow, pressed a bit of powder shaow on top, dabbed a little bit of clear lipgloss over it, and hey presto. Grunge. The had creased before I left my house, but I like it that way.

This look was inspired by a beautiful new pair of shoes I acquired a week ago. I cannot walk in them for the life of me, but the guy who sold them to me was too good looking to disappoint. Sad? Yes. But we all do it, don't we?

So here are my fabulous shoes, that will probably remain in their box until I get the courage or ever get drunk enough to wear them. And they are sickly beautiful.



Summer Lovin'

 

After being sick in bed all week with a virus, being able to wear make up again has made me far more excited than it should. Normally one to back away from bright colours with rapid speed, this little break from make up has made me slightly more adventurous. Cue all manner of make up slapped onto my face. And you know what, I kinda like it!

While I'll always be a Winter girl at heart, I'm happy to embrace the summer brights for the next while!

Do the summer months result in you wearing brighter colours?

Happy Monday! x

I am an Aztec

Colour is not my forte. But on a recent trip to Primark/Penneys I snapped up a few 'summer pieces'. The fact that I'm not going away this Summer means I can stay happily in my neutrals. But for a few euro I will most certainly don a bit of colour. This 'aztec' type headband cost a mere 2euro and I love it.

I've been working a few more hours over the past few weeks, which is a godsend. I only have a small amount to go to pay off my course in a month and I'm saving for my SLR. After talking to many people, I have decided to opt for the Canon 1000d. While there is the whole Nikon/Canon debate, I just seem to gravitate towards the Canon. Very excited.

I have a giveaway running on my Youtube channel, which you can access here. GO FORTH! It's to win the Samantha Chapman Real Techniques Eye Definition set after I reached 600 subscribers on both my Youtube and blog. I know I don't say it enough, but it does mean a lot that anyone reads and listens to my rambles, so thank you.

Happy Tuesday!
