Sterling Gray Eyess ...

Ahh the perks of a job ayy ! I was given some Fresh Look Colour Blend contact lenses to try a while back from work as part of a event they were having . However me being me i left mine in the opticians and dint pick them up till today , what am i like ! Anyway i choose the colour sterling gray as one of the girls had that and she looked stunning ! I have to say i am very impressed with these contact lenses as they are just sooooo comfy to wear and i also received a bio true contact lens solution and a case that i thought was good after all these were free . Although my contacts are prescription ones for me ( I'm long sighted :( ) and  are 30 day , i don't think i would buy these mainly because i use reading glasses and the fact that I'm tight . I deffo would recommend them to anyone who wears contact lenses or prescription ones as they come in such pretty colours and are very comfortable to wear . Il leave you with a few pics xxx






So do you like them ? Have you ever had coloured contacts ? What colour did you have ?

What Im Loving And Super Cute Hair Bows !

Hello everyone hope you are well :) I'm actually quiet tired now its been a long day , but i wanted to show you my hair and the lip balm I've been using . I don't know about you but i like a lip balm that's not greasy. One that doesn't make you look like you've just layered your lips with lard ! Lol so i was really excited when i found this lip balm in boots . Its call Anatomicals and i got the stop cracking up lip balm the packaging is very simple but it has a funny sort of blurb on the back of the packet . The consistency of the balm is like a gloss but not sticky , and you only need the smallest amount of this stuff !Some of the ingredients in it are beeswax , vitamin e , coconut oil and sweet almond oil , perfect for dry sore chapped lips !Ive been using this for about a week and a half and i must say I'm in love my lips are really smooth .
P.s i have been using this morning and night for kissable lips :) xx




On to hair one of the girls in the hair class did my hair in this bow !! Im in love with it so so cute , what do you think ?

Faking It ...Airbrush Abs !

Hi everyone , how are you all ? This is a post that I'm sure you all will love , its something i love anyway ! If you've ever wanted a toned and defined stomach keep reading .....
So today i learnt how to ... AIRBRUSH ABS  hehe how excited i was and obviously put myself forward to be the model for my tutor :) I found this extremely fun and we all had a blast . So heres how we did it , first we sprayed the stomach with a bronze golden colour to give a health glow . Then we used a dark brown grease paint to just gently draw the abs . I then blended this out and went in with the airbrush ! I used a silicone based airbase colour for this and the colour was 05 i think but don't quote me on that . With the airbrush i went over the blended lines and shaded and had a foundation brush at the ready for any mistakes and to blend . Finally for a 3d effect i added the white silicone based colour and filled in the abs :) there you have it airbrush abs in a flash , enjoy xx

My kind friend Jona airbrushed me ....

And i did his :)





So what do you think ? Do you like airbrush abs or have you ever done them ?

I Hear Wedding Bells , A Modern Bridal Look :)

Hi everyone :) How are you all ? Since i go back to college on wednesday its got me thinking about my next assessment that i have to do .. and its bridal make up ! I have the choice of two looks Asian bridal or English bridal and I'm stuck between the two . I love how elegant and classy English bridal is but on the other hand Asian bridal is soo much more fun . Anyway i got looking on the internet and decided to do a test run of the English bridal . I took a teeny bit of inspiration from Kim K's wedding make up . For my hair decided to do a really soft loose curl with a centre parting . I actually quite like it its a very glowing kinda look , i used the sleek au natural pallet and sleek contour kit for definition i also used lashes from primark . A just because its me i hunted my room for the most bridaly clobber  i could get my hands on . So hope you like it :) xx

Hi dolls :) i hope you had a safe new years and enjoyed your celebrations ! Im quite excited as this is the first post of 2012 hehe. Anyway I've had awful chapped lips at the moment think its the weather but i made a batch of my lip scrub so i thought id show you . Ok so this is a recipe for my lip scrub i use it contains honey , golden granulated sugar and madagascan vanilla extract . I love this recipe and the honey is a fantastic ingredient its great for dry skin and it has natural anti bacterial properties  ! Just to let you know i also use this as a facial scrub and body exfoliator . Its perfect for a pre tanning exfoliator it will buff your skin but leave it soft and nourished , the scrub is also great if your suffering from an out break or acne . So heres how i make and store mine hope you like :) xx



So heres what you'll need , and these are the measurements :

2 tablespoons of sugar 
1 tablespoon of honey 
2 caps of vanilla extract 


Add the the ingredients into a small cup or bowl and mix 


Once mixed i like to store my lip scrub in a a little jar like this 



So there you have it you own homemade lip scrub :)


So what do you think ?
