Re-Ombred Hair.

Hello again!

I'm feeling a bit bad seeing as i havn't posted in a while.. but i have an excuse! I've been super busy AND it was my eighteenth birthday last week!

 

In an amongst all of the birthday celebrations I have managed to find time to re-ombre my hair. I first ombred it a couple of months or so ago because i was bored of my natural hair colour but didn't completely want to change it. Anyway, I felt it was time for a touch up. I went a bit overboard and left the bleach on for a bit longer than necessary, haha! Luckily it didn't come out too badly :)

Bit of a short post today! Thanks for reading :)

Procrastination.

Hiya,

I think one of the things I am best at in life is the art of procrastination. Whenever there is something important to do I suddenly find that I have a million and one other things that are just that little bit more urgent to do instead. Things, for example, like painting my nails, making a cup of tea, or playing solitaire on my computer... Today, however, instead of doing some work, I rediscovered the magical world of weheartit.com! I popped in some words like 'fashion,' 'make up,' 'paris' and 'vintage' and chose some of my favourites, which I thought I would post on here :) I hope you like them!

Top 5 Essentials.

Hello hello!

Sorry, it's been almost a week since I last wrote! I thought today I would write about the result of a little 'discussion' I had with a friend of mine, Belle. Being so close, we pretty much see eye to eye on most things, but when it comes to make up we have very different ideas about what we consider to be essential and our discussion quickly spiralled into an argument about the benefits of eyelash serum... Of course, everyone has different favourites and tastes so Belle, being the wise old owl she is, suggested that I do a comparison of our 'Top 5' lists as a blog post rather than just mine or just hers... So, Voila!

Belle's Top 5:

1. Diorshow Extase Instant Oversize Mascara
2. Diorshow Maximiser Lash Plumping Serum
3. Tigi BedHead Big Fat Fun Eye Liner Pencil
4. Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation (in Fawn)
5. Barry M Dazzle Dust (in Gold, Bronze and Black)

And mine:

1.  No7 Exceptional Definition Mascara
2. GOSH Matt Duo Eye Shadow (in Melting Pale for the day and Dark'N Dusty for night)
3. Rimmel Match Perfection Cream Gel Foundation (in True Ivory)
4. Maybelline Dream Touch Blush (in Peach)
5. GOSH Velvet Touch Lipstick (in Darling)

So there you have it! Thanks so much for reading :)

Chase Fashion Show.

Hello again :) 'Fraid today's is going to be a massively picture-heavy post!

Last night I was lucky enough to go to a fashion show in aid of a charity called Shooting Star Chase. Shooting Star Chase is a children's hospice service which supports families with children who are not expected to reach their 19th birthday. Definitely a worthy cause which you can read more about here. 

The clothes for the show were donated from places like Topshop, French Connection, ASOS and Joules, as well as from local independent stores, and the make up for the models was mainly donated from Benefit and Boots.

The show started with a short film about the Shooting Star Chase which pretty much had the whole audience tearing up (or maybe it was just me.. I get very emotional!) and emptying their purses for the charity! 

During the first half the outfits were mainly focused towards daywear, with a few exceptions, and the theme was very vintagey and equestrian. The second half had more of a glam-rock vibe and was more veered towards evening wear. The hair and make up throughout was amazing and the models all looked gorgeous!

Unfortuately, I was only able to bring my rubbish camera which decided to throw a tantrum and break on me half way through (thankfully I got it working again), so the photos aren't the best quality.. but i've done my best with what I managed to get so I hope you like them anyway!
