Hello loveys!

Here is my New Years Day outfit! A Goth Glamour inspired outfit, a tulle skirt from Ebay and a vest top from H&M made this outfit together with a necklace from River Island and shoes from Jasper Conran.

Sorry about the poor photography, I struggle to get someone to take photos and a good location. This is something I will work on in 2014.

Christmas Makeup!

Christmas Makeup Inspiration.

As the days become chilly so is the time passing closer to christmas day! We frantically hurry to prepare for the big day, buying presents, wrapping the goodies and drinking mulled wine by the gallon! I love the sparkle of christmas day, dressing up and having glamourous makeup! I thought I would share my look with you all. I will be teaming gold smokey eyes with glossy red lips, so here is how to achieve this look.

Products used.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation
MAC Select Cover Up
Collection Illuminating Highlighter
Maybelline Gel Liner Black
Barry M Gold Dust
VIVO Unprotected Palette
Benefit They're Real Mascara Black
MAC Pressed Powder In Belightful
Collection Bronzer In Sunkissed
No7 Blusher In Candy
Rimmel Lipstick 072

1. Apply your moisturiser and using a foundation brush, I used Real Techniques Stippling Brush, apply the foundation.
2. Then my MAC Select Cover Up was dotted all over my eyelids,under my eye area and on any blemishes and blended.
3. I applied a dusting of the Barry M Dust in shade Gold all over my lid and crease area. Then with a smaller brush I applied "Free" a VIVO shade from the Unprotected Palette which is a stunning palette available online or from Tesco, this palette has been named as the dupe for the famous Urban Decay Naked Palette. This shade was applied in my crease line and to the edge of my eye area and then blended.
4. Using my Maybelline Gel Liner I created a thick flicked line to create a glamourous vintage look. My tip is go from the edge of your lash line and gently draw the line in.
5. Lashings of the Benefit They're Real Mascara with my MAC Pressed Powder in Belightful to the inner corners of my eye and below my brow line to gently highlight the area adding a gentle sparkle to finish the look.
6. A light dusting of my Collection Bronzer and on the apples of my cheeks a light dust of the No7 Blusher in Candy. A tip here, smile when applying your blusher to create a natural flush of pink.
7. Finally my Rimmel Lipstick which is a glossy finish to the lips to complete this christmas makeup look.

Hope you have felt inspired by this look. If you are not a red lips kind of lady how about a flush of pink or clear gloss. Instead of a dark shade for the crease, you could use a deep purple for a festive look.

Wishing you all a fantastic christmas and a great new year!

How I organise my dressing table!

Lovely people!!! The sun is out, well kind of!! I thought I would do something a little different, a post on how I organise my dressing table!
My dressing table was my grandmas, it holds special memories! I remember her sitting at it doing her makeup! With her fabulous lancome foundation and chanel perfume, one glamorous gorgeous lady who helped make me and my mama who I am today-a girl who cant go without her heels, lipstick and earrings!
My dressing table is an area I am forever changing as new items come along. Here are just some of the ways I organise it.

As you know I have a love for vintage! I found two beautiful glass stands and have used them to hold rings and bracelets, as I always forget what jewellery I have if its in a drawer! I also got a sweet jar, filled it with my MAC eyeshadows and to jazz it up added a bling vintage necklace! The key to organising is think outside the box! Glam a jam jar or use a teacup and saucer for your hairbands!

And here are some photos of other peoples dresing tables!! I love the glamourous hollywood stars with there silk dressing gowns applying powder!

Love these pictures!! So glamorous! I want to be a hollywood starlet!!! One can dream!

Tuesday Inspiration!

Its that time again....inspiration through photos! Here it goes!

A pot of flowers from the garden...you cant beat that smell or feeling when you see flowers on the table....a simple pleasure of mine! We have some sweet peas and when I picked them for our living room the scent went through the house and the room lit up with the simple arrangement.

To make bunting is simple, I definately need to make some for my house...I feel a sewing day coming on!

A white room with splashes of colour, I love this room! Though its white it is warm and comfy. A french dresser is something I adore! I would love it adorned with my vintage crockery.

Some lushcious pink lips sprinkled with glitter...what a look! Does anyone know a good make of pink glitter lippy?? You can never have enough sparkle in your life...

Look at this camera!!!! WOAH!!! I would love this!! What a fab idea and how pretty does it look! I love the print.

Pretty fairy lights adorned with lace dollies! Who would've thought a simple look could look so pretty and romantic! Would love these! They would lovely at a wedding.

I want these nails!!! And check that bow ring out! What bling! I gather they are foils, leopard print is something I own a lot of! So these are great, would love to wear these! That ring is divine!

Pretty heels..yet again a picture of shoes, as you can guess I love shoes! These are so pretty! A pink rose to transform some silver strappy heels....would look great with a dress or pencil skirt!
