*+*HappyNewYear*+*

hair-check, nails-check, make-up-check, clothes-check, drink-check... lets get drunk and happy :) woo!

...cute little winter penguins...aww...

Hey :) I thought i'd do a little post b4 the end of 2011... I can't believe its the end again and the beginning so soon :) where did the time go?... I feel i could write a blog on reflecting on my year... but i'll not bore you :P Just know... I am super duper lucky, grateful, healthy, happy and appreciating everything and everybody around me :) .I.LoVE.LiFE.


New Years Resolutions are scrapped... seeing as i'm pretty pathetic at them :S However... I actually cannot wait to start being healthy as I do feel pretty... obese... I mean... for my height?!?... I shouldn't weigh this much... haha! :*( no worries... I.WILL.BE.SKINNY!! .ONE.DAY.


I decided to get my brushes out n do my make up for new year n stop looking like a tramp haha! :S

high arched brows with black gel liner with elongated wing

day lighting... make up looks so much lighter...

terracotta smoked lid, bronzed sculpted cheeks and pink lip

step-by-step

*cleanse, moisturise and prime face
*apply foundation and conceal blemishes and dark circles
*apply a eye primer, then a cream base all over eye
*using a beige toned eyeshadow, pat on to the lid
*using a terracotta shade, blend make up using a fluffy brush into the whole socket 
*then using a darker warm shade of brown, concentrate and blend from outer socket to half way
*using the same colour create a slight shadow on lower lashes
*use a intense black pencil gel eyeliner on waterline (top and bottom) then lash line and elongate rather than create a 60's *flick and connect with bottom lashes and smudge slightly
*use a black gel liner to create a very black top liner.
*using eyebrow pencil, draw in brows making sure to give it a high arch and extended them to match with eyeliner and use a gel to secure them.
*sculpt cheeks with a bronzer at cheekbones and highlight where the light catches (apples of cheeks, bridge of nose etc)
*apply a pink lip and finish off with lashings of mascara and some maybe some cheeky falsies? :p
*apply some finishing powder to ensure your make up lasts

walaaaaaa... u r ready to rock n roll :) 

(: ...happy 2012... :)

Its... been a while....

Heyyy! I would say I can't believe I haven't blogged... but I know what I'm like. I could give a thousand excuses but I'll save my jibberish for J to endure :D hehe ;) 

Anyhooo... Its really hard to blog as its been that long... and honestly... not much has happened... and I haven't done much to even try and be interesting :S I have however... GOT SHOT OF THE ORANGE HAIR!! haha :D we all knew it would happen at some point :) I did really like it... but decided... at 24... MAYBe... I shouldn't be cutting about like i'm 14... The point of return was when I had 2 school girls... I guess around 12... 13? screaming rather loudly as I strolled to Greggs that they "LOVED MY HAIR!! and IT WAS SOOOO COOL!"... so instead of buying sausage rolls... I ran straight to boots and bought hair dye... :D haha! So now I'm a mix of chocolate and caramel :) yummyummy :)

OK... so... I skipped past ginger... and headed straight to NEON ILLUMINOUS ORANGE... FUCK. Seriously... what is wrong with me...? I was heading out Sat night and my colour was fading to a yellow so I thought... 'I can't go out like this!!'... chucked on the mandarin dimensions hair dye... mixed it with conditioner so it wouldn't go too orange. ... Wolfed my supper down in 5 minutes and washed it out... BOOM! bright fuking orange tips with yellow midlengths and dark roots... aww... mannn... how HORRIFIC! just for the record... I still went out... WHAT A CLOWN! lets just say... THANK GOD I WEAR A HAT AT WORK... :S Right... So i re-dyed it with the dimension dye again last night... I mean... i've taken it too far already... so why not take it further...? hahaha! I will now show you... from my inspiration to my first attempt... 2nd attempt... 3rd attempt... to now...

HiHi! U Guys! I am officially GINGER!!!! (and a BOSS! ;) OOoooooo...) (O_o)

I wanted to do it last WINTER... BUT... waited till this AUTUMN... to match... the TREES... hahaha! :D I've ditched the bleach bottle as my hair is resembling a stack of hay... EVEN after a whole lotta conditioning and brushing...  (the bleach is not too far away... INCASE I come to my senses... :P) Anyways... I've still got the balayage effect going on... (dark roots...light ends) but instead of brown n blonde... just ginger and extra ginger... AND GUESS WHAT?!? I FRIKKING LOVE IT! and i'm not SINGLE! hahaha! J loves it too... (LIKE HE HAS A CHOICE?!?! lol! :D)

Ok... So i've used a box dye (SSSssshhhh...!!) Loreal mango something on my roots for 20mins then ends for only 10... otherwise my hair would begin to snap off... It was still wishy washy so I added a crazy colour... a mix of yellow and red... BUT... I put too much red... and my hair looked pink... I freaked out and took it off to early... BUT i'm still uber ginge... but I have now went and bought Directions mandarin colour and will use it at some point...

Hi!Hi!Hiiii!! Ok... I've just checked my lottery... AND...GUESS WHAT!!!?! I DIDN'T WINNNN!!! *SHoCKSHoCKHoRRoRHoRRoR*... Not Even One number!... I always say "I wish I won the lottery..." Its a stupid saying really... As who Doesn't?... But... AS I never buy the lottery... there was 2 chances of that happening... Meet... "FAT" chance... and... "NO" chance... But... REALLY?... What r the chances of even winning... or getting a number... atleasT?? Rant over... Let's get girly :D

Whilst J is being a lazy bumm and sleeping... I thought I could quickly finish my nails that I started when I got in from work last night :) I did one hand and thought it looked THE BomB! haha!... So... I've left my other hand to show you guys how to do it... So easy!! I did... However, buy some stamping kit... But i'm FriKKing useless at it :( so until I've mastered it... I'm not going to even embarass myself... (I'm readng this over atm... and I think my grammar is horrific... plz don't mark this as u read...)

Just had a look at the pictures... my hands look old (as I am a hard worker :P) and my nails are smudged because J attacked me with the duvet whilst they were wet (Don't Worry... He's Still ALIVE...just...) So... plz forgive me... I am not re-doing them... 

FINAL RESULT

STEP-BY-STEP

What you NEED! change colours if you wish... and no dotting tool? USE KIRBY :)

Paint nails like SO... I've reversed the colours on EACH HAND

On a Bit of Paper DOT the polish onto it

Using kirby/tool... dip into opp. colour of polish and make a kinda star shape (leave space for different colour of flower)

Using the white polish do the same

Add a little center using white-lilac... lilac-white :S and do wee dots to fill the gaps :)

Do the same to the rest of them and TaDaaaaa... (Left Hand)

2 hands together... you don't have to be wierd and do opp. colours

Right Hand :) aww.. So PRETTY :D

Ok All Done :) Hope you've enjoyed Reading this and Have a good time doing it :D FLoWER.PoWER!! haha! I'm sure that was a cartoon or summik! Back.In.The.DAY... :)smile:) LOVE.HopE.DReaMs xluvleeleex

.LooK.LiKE.A.DoLL.

Right Girls and Boys maybe? :S... I've just taken about a thousand pictures of myself whilst I attempt my first step-by-step... Its a simple day make up look (with the exception of huge eyelashes... for the dolly effect)... with a big massive messy bun on my napper... crazy make-up and crazy hair may make u just look crazy... so simple + mad = a perfect balance?... 

Just for the record... I have piled blusher, lipstick and eye make up on... but with the lighting at my mums it doesn't look like I've got as much on as I actually do... trust me... my mum got a fright this morning when she seen me... (she's all about the natural beauty... lol!... bless!)

the final result

the make up

the hair

Ok... So first of all... I've cleansed my face, moisturised and popped in large brown circle lenses to make my eyes appear bigger :) primer then apply concealer (pat on and blend... don't rub) to dark circles and blemishes, with a foundation brush apply base and draw in eyebrows with a dark brown eye shadow and eyebrow brush. Small strokes following the natural shape of brows. TIP: foundation can be applied after eyeshadow if scared off getting it everywhere. However, not using dark colours with this make up so should be fine. 

MAKE-UP

primer, base, concealer, and eyebrows!

matt white eyeshadow base applied all over eye

soft brown applied to outter eye with fluffy brush and blended on to crease to create shadow and depth. A Darker soft brown should be added to outter corner again and blended. (a little goes along way) (blend in small gentle circles to remove any harsh lines)
It is also applied to inner bridge to contour the nose to give height to my flat face!

liquid/gel black liner applied to lash line and winged out towards eyebrow

subtle bottom lashes are drawn on under eye to make eyes appear larger
white/cream eyeliner on water line to make eyes brighter

2 coats Black mascara is applied to top and bottom lashes

highlight with a shimmer to inner corners and brow bone to add definition

pink blush to apple of cheeks and soft pink lips

falsies applied and another coat of mascara (so own lashes are attached to fake lashes)
fixing powder is patted on with a puff to set the make up :) 

With this make-up you could also mix it up a bit to look sexy rather than cute. Wear a fierce red lipstick :D (Do check you don't have red teeth though!... not so sexy)

HAIR

Ok... we need a comb/back combing brush, kirbies and a bobble...

tie hair in a very high pony... you can alter this style if you want ur bun to the side :D
oh. leave out you fringe and some stray bits if you like it messy/undone looking

take a small section of hair. like so...

backcomb this section! the more u back comb the bigger the bun...

continue these steps to the rest of you hair...

split the hair evenly so u can c  the wee hole...

twist the ends of your hair and gather around to form a bun

kirbie around your crazy creation (remember to kirbie into the bun to hide them)

sort out how you want your fringe AND..
WALAAAA! keep it like this OR...

Add a head scarf or bow or whatever you want!
ps. if its too messy just gently comb some of the back combing out whilst your kirbying it
OH! and spray with a loada hairspray :D 

 OMG :O this has taken up most of my life/day! I may not do one of these step-by-steps for a while haha! 

I'm kidding :D sort off..

this is really simple :D so have fun and look 

cute! :D

:)big:)smiles:)LOVE.HoPE.DreaMs.
