Vote for me

Its seems everywhere I look, there is a make up competition.  I have entered one that is being ran by http://www.londonmuse.co.uk/ via their facebook page.  You have to base a look on a fashion icon and I chose Anna Karina.  My BF brought her to my attention a few months ago in some crazy french films, one by Serge Gainsbourg.

I was the first entry, which I thought was rather brave.  Looking at the other entries, I look like I have no make up on at all.  :(

If you would like to vote for me please leave a lovely comment here I need fifty comments to qualify, so I need all the help I can get. 

Comp

Sorry about the lack of posts, I have finally got myself a job albeit temporary but I can't bear to look at a computer when I get home.  However, I did find the time to make my first ever make up tutorial.  It was for a competition being held by the Jemma Kidd Make Up School you can view it (if you feel you must) here. 

Please let me know what you think, I was quite proud of my editing skills!!!

Here is the finished look, as you can see its quite similar to the Little Edie post I did a while back.  A certain friend of mine didn't realise it was me, which I found strangely flattering.  Apparently she has never seen me pull this expression, ha!  I do it all the time on my own.  

I really enjoyed talking to myself in my bedroom late last night, of course this was while I was filming the comp entry, so I was thinking I might do my very own tutorial.  So consider the bandwagon jumped!

Long hair where art tho?

*apologies for the teeny pic x

and I thought I loved make up

Just enjoy.........

This is John Prescotts wife, Pauline and I just love that mascara.  I want to know what mascara she uses, because thickness and volume isn't in it.

Tonight Matthew....

Just a quickie, I often like to look at magazines for inspiration and I came across this style.com/beauty/beautysearch/ you can search for models or celebrities.

Sorry ladies but there are no Cheryl Cole looks.

time flies by

Today I am in a pretty reflective mood, this time last year I was attempting to live in Barcelona with my BF how different my life would have been if it had all worked out, and do you know what  made me remember it?  My moisturiser - Dr Nick Lowe Super-Charged SPF15 Day Cream I first bought it when I was moving to Barcelona, making sure it had an spf in it to protect my face against the sun, even though it was going to be February when I arrived.  Now I know whenever I apply that cream it will remind me of standing in our flat and being full of excitement and nerves. 

I had been using a superdrug moisturiser because I was skint, this also had an spf but because it was my birthday the other week my parents bought me Dr Nick Lowe's cream, and you can just feel the difference in quality between the two, but its what you should expect when there is a price difference of about £12!!! 

Whats sad about my time in Barca is I have very few photographs of  me there NOT sporting a moustache......

Hot or what?  I think if you look past the fact I haven't waxed in a while my skin looks in pretty good shape.  Already I am noticing a difference and its only been about two weeks, plus using the Jolene you can hardly notice the tash. 

My friend was saying to me the other day how strange I looked with long hair and at the mo, because I change my mind constantly I really dont like it.  I think I am going to blame the rubbish hair on Barca water, my bonce is used to the perfumed atmosphere of teesside!

Keeping a theme going look at these hairy ladies stylebubble.co.uk I kinda like it!

I like make up....but only a lil' bit honest

I was bored the other night and I decided to go through my make up and see what needed throwing out and what I needed to buy.........when I say needed I really mean WANT!

I was surprised by the results so I thought I would tell you what I have in my make up bag.

*29 single eye shadows

*8 eye shadow palettes

*9 mascaras (including some itty bitty ones)

*6 lipsalves (my favourite ever lip balm is a Bolivian Vaseline called "Vaselina" I can't bring myself to use it)

*25 blushers (I was sooooo shocked when I counted these and my fav is defo that illamasqua cream one I have talked about on here)

*12 eye liner pencils

*10 lipsticks (I think I really need more lipsticks I love them so much more than gloss at the moment)

*5 lipliners

*17 lipglosses (see if I love lipstick why have I got more lipglosses)

*1 lipstick/gloss palette

*2 primers

*8 concealers (I went through a lot of these babies and I have defo settled for Laura Mercia for blemishes and Bobbi Brown for under eye)

*5 foundations (I seem to always go back to Lily Lilo mineral foundation, sometimes I can be such a grease monster this stuff works well for me  and its so easy to apply on a morning)

*3 powders

excessive what do you think?
