OOTD: A Spring in my step, a call for your help!

I mentioned before that I am one of those girls that at the first signs of sun - wacks out the RayBan's, the short shorts (sorry dad), the wedged heels, the crop tops - oh, the 1990's called by the way girls, they want their style back - you get the gist...well, hopefully you do. If you don't, what I'm basically trying to say is that my style goes from "I'm seconds away from getting frostbite" to "get me to a beach bitch" quicker than you can say 'make the most of it'. Which is where my laziness, lack of ability to bash out a blog post in an hour or so comes into play. Hence, the slightly summery/spring outfit being posted on a completely s**t and windy day. No point in sugar coating things eh?...

Pastel colours, check. Linen Blazer, check. Wedge heels, check. Moody/vacant/"let's not look at the camera to attempt to make this look natural" pose ü ü ü 

Now, these jeans. I am, without a doubt, the least 'arty' person you will ever come across in your life. Managing to draw a stick man is a genuine achievement for me - I know, that tragic - so when I decided on a whim to rip the shit out of D.I.Y my jeans up a bit...I wasn't the most confident in how they'd turn out.

I was aiming for this...

and er, sort of ended up with this...

Don't say I didn't try!

I'll leave the arty stuff to Neil Buchanan in the future (You know, the guy from Art Attack? If you don't know what Art attack is then quite frankly...you haven't lived!)

Another new edition to my wardrobe/floor/any pointy things that I can chuck clothes, accessories and what not over, is the 'statement necklace' - tell me I'm not the only one that feels like a bit of a knob using that phrase? No, just me then... - below. I bought this necklace because I just felt like the outfit was a little...'beige' without it. You know, a bit boring, a bit vanilla, the Leona Lewis of outfits. (Soz Le Lew!) And, despite owning practically no bling whatsoever, I actually really like it. A good old 'statement necklace' - yep, still feel like a knob - really does dress up an outfit. Who'd have known? Well, clearly everybody apart from 10 years too late Ellie!

Off white blazer that makes me look in desperate need of some Daz: H&M
Ripped to shit DIY Jeans: Primark
Jumper: H&M
Wedges: Primark (yeah...you knew I wasn't going to be able to make it through a post without getting a primark item in there somewhere
Necklace: Accessorize (regressing to my primary school days with one purchase)

The weather in the UK has typically turned shit shocking again - oh god, I'm turning into one of those boring people that only talk about the weather, the next thing you know I'll be watching Countdown - so as I'm not getting any natural sun, I may have to finally admit that despite being olive skinned, I do occasionally delve into the magic bottle of fakeness (we all know that's my 'subtle' way of saying fake tan) and I need your recommendations girls!! I'm currently a Xen Tan Dark lotion devotee, which I do absolutely love, but the natural experimenter - is that even a real word? - in me needs to try something new. I'm considering the Xen Tan Moroccan tan as I love the colour, smells etc. of Xen Tan but just wish the lotion sunk in a bit quicker. Or potentially the St Tropez dark mousse? Has anyone tried any of those, written any reviews? If so, please leave your links - or anybody else's - in the comments below. After all, who knows better than beauty bloggers?...my thoughts exactly :)

Hope you enjoyed this post all. As always, thank you so much for reading!

OOTD: "You are not going out in that!"

Some outfits are just made for those over-protective glares. You know the ones I mean (well, you probably don't seeing as this post has just started and I've already started waffling a load of bull...but I'll tell you now anyway) The looks I mean are the ones that anybody with a dad, brother, uncle - basically any male member of the family, you get the gist - will have known and seen a thousand times before. The "you are not going out in that" look.

Today's outfit is one that I knew, even before I put it on and was just thinking about it in my head, would absolutely, definitely, for certain, 1trillion% (Oh I do love a good adjective) earn me one those looks.

Cue "you are no longer my sister" "I disown you as a daughter" "you look like a slut!" outfit (before anyone thinks I have a family worthy of Jeremy Kyle airtime, I am actually exaggerating!)

The Shoes. Ohh the shoes, I am - as completely sad and lame that I know this is going to sound - completely in love with them. I'd been after a pair of strappy blue sandals for a while and good old Zara (the shop, not a person, if you're slow on the up take...like myself) pulled it out the bag with these. Royal blue (one of my favourite colours), high enough to look amazing but not too high to make you a Bambi-esque person (again...like myself) fall arse over tit, and gold 'hardware' which just straddles line between classy and ever ever so slightly tacky. They are *wack out your best Cheryl Cole geordie accent again* right up my street...

Crop top (who else feels like 6yrs old again using that term?): Primark
Skirt: Forever 21
Shoes that made me 'eek' in store...consequently making me look like a complete tit: Zara

Before anyone gets offended because they've worn a similar outfit and I've basically said the men in my life think I looked like some sort of trollop, just to reassure you that you - or we - don't (at least I hope we don't?) I could be wearing a burka and they would still think I was showing too much flesh. Some call it over-protective, some call it annoying, I call it a pain in my - very nearly on show when I bent over - arse!

Hope you enjoyed this post guys. Sorry I've gone all MIA - is it sad that I still feel like a Kardashian saying that? actually, don't answer that - on the blog front again. I've spent the last 2weeks working on Geordie Shore (I know!) which true to TV form has been as crazy as ever. I'd like to say I'll get my arse in gear and plan posts in advance on days off but...we all know that with all the blogs and YouTubers that I need to catch up on, that's definitely probably not going to happen ;) In the mean time, as always, thanks so much for reading!

REVIEW: Face B4 Daily Cleansing Foam and After Cleansing Serum. New HG alert!

I'm an honest kind of girl. In fact, when it comes to honesty, I'd like to think of myself - without sounding like an up my own arse twat - maybe as, I don't know...the Olivia Palermo of fashion, the Tanya Burr of Youtube video's, the Kim Kardashian of reality TV...woah, hard times when you're bringing Kimmy K into the mix. What I'm basically trying to say - but as per usual have waffled a whole paragraph of nonsense without getting to the main point - is that I always say exactly what I think. So when it comes to reviewing products, regardless of how/why I've come across them, if I've bought it myself or have been sent them as a PR sample, I'm going to be telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth (....check me out going all 'Judge Judy' on your arses!)

Which is where Face B4 comes in...

Ignore my "oh s**t, I've got 5mins before work to take these photo's" I'm going for 'content quality' over picture quality anyway...which really doesn't say a lot for the pictures does it?!

I was contacted around a month ago now asking if I'd like to try FaceB4's facial wash and serum, and given a snooze fest (joke) detailed description on the brand's ethos, what the products do, why they work etc.
Now, I have to be completely honest. Since discovering and completely falling in love with the duo of La Roche Posay's Effaclar duo - LRP clearly didn't think of the illiterate poor bloggers reviewing their products when they chose their name did they? No, they bloody didn't! - and Hydraluron, my skin has been pretty good. (That's it, I've gone and done it now. We all know this means I'm going to wake tomorrow with a face resembling a pizza) So I didn't feel like I necessarily needed a new skincare regime, however the natural skincare whore in me was never going to turn the chance of trying new products. Believing that you have to give products a good few weeks trial before making your mind up on them I busted them out as soon as I received them and now feel ready to tell you all what I think, but before I ramble, bore the life out of you, send you off to sleep tell you my thoughts, here's - briefly - what Face B4 has to say...

"Suitable for all skin types
FaceB4 products are fragrance-free and with their gentle formula, are suitable for all skin types – great for men and women. Containing a patented ultra biocidal complex, including Salicylic Acid, FaceB4 simply and effectively removes impurities to help reduce potential skin breakouts, blemishes and redness.
Simple, yet VERY effective                                                                                                                   This simple yet effective unique two-stage regime has been independently tested to work on all skin types. Chartered Scientist and member of the Royal Society of Chemistry Bruce Green C.Chem MRSC, helped formulate the products and says: “I have worked with many well known brands over the years, helping to research and develop product ranges and am genuinely excited by what we have managed to achieve with the FaceB4 skincare range"

Now, what you've all been hanging off the edge of your seats for...what I think (and because you can't detect tone in writing, that was extreme sarcasm right there)

Daily Cleansing wash - I'll start with the face wash. The instruction pamphlet - that I obviously read from start to finish and definitely didn't read the first and skipped straight to the last paragraph - instructs you to pump the product into your hands, gently massage it into your skin, leave for a minute and then wash off. The first thing I noticed was that it didn't foam very well, which isn't necessarily a problem but it just made it more difficult to spread over the face. After washing it off my skin did feel really soft, fresh and not tight at all like a lot of facial washes can you make feel, however in all honesty I don't think it's really made a difference to my skin. At least I haven't noticed a difference to my skin so far. So because I think this product is just 'nice' (nice is such a shit crap word isn't it? nobody ever wants to be just 'nice') I'm going to judge it by, "does it replace what I use at the moment?" In term's of cleansing, I use Liz Earle's cleanse and polish - aka #booooring because everybody in the world has used this at some point. Well, not literally but you know what I mean?...you know what I mean - and Simple Moisturising Face wash (more for when I'm in a rush and can't be arsed to wait for the Liz Earle to sink in) and being 100% honest - definitely squirming as I'm writing this because I feel bad as it was sent to me for free...but I'm gonna say it anyway - no it doesn't replace those. It's definitely not a bad product at all, far from it, just not holy grail for me. Not...special.

After Cleansing Serum - Now, this on the other hand, really is special. I love a good serum - as you can probably tell from my shameless gushing raves over La Roche Posay's Effaclar Duo and the Manuka Dr ApiClear however this one is just...different. For a start, the serum isn't a gel, or liquidy formula like most others that I've tried, it's actually a cream and feels much more moisturizing. Now, considering that I have slightly greaseball, chip fat, Ronaldo hair-esque oily skin, this worried me a little bit. (I know, I know, everybody else in the world would know that oily skin needs moisture yada yada yada but I just don't like thick creams, oils...anything like that on my face, OK? OK!) I of course, in my skincare dumb arse ways was wrong. It sinks in within minutes but unlike a lot of serums, actually leaves your skin a bit - oh god, brace yourself girls - ...moist (nobody likes that word do they?!) not in a "oh my god I look like a frying pan" kind of way, more of a "my skin looks so glowy, without being able to fry an egg on it!" More to the point, it really has improved my skin. It look clearer, less congested (what a lovely picture I'm conjuring up there) and I also find that my make up just looks, blends and feels so much nicer when I have this on underneath. Overall - I've gotta wrap this up now or I could go on all night - I absolutely love the serum. For now anyway, it will be over taking my LRP Effaclar duo (which isn't to say that I won't go back to it if I have a "pizza face" outburst, but for now anyway) which really is saying something!

One pump and a poor demo of my even poorer texture explanation. "Not liquidy, not a gel, cream!"...Just poor!

The Face B4 daily cleansing foam comes in at £14.95* (probably a tad overpriced in my opinion...but what do I know? nothing) and the after cleansing serum also at £14.95* (worth every penny in my eyes!) and is now available online here and in Boots stores RIGHT NOW!! (Jesus, I'm doing a bit of a Louis Walsh "pick up the phone and vote NOW" here aren't I? I sincerely apologise)

Have any of you tried out any Face B4 products yet? I would love to hear your thoughts! 

Hope you enjoyed this post guys. As always, thanks so much for reading!

OOTD: The New Icons and the Marilyn Monroe moment!

Today, I became one of those girls. "What girls?" I hear you all ask (well, actually you're probably just saying 'get on with it love, stop waffling!' but it doesn't give quite the same effect does it?) The girls I'm talking about are the ones that at the first sight of sun, act like they're suddenly in Dubai. Out come the Rayban's, off come the layers of clothing (in a completely non-perverted way of course) and off to Starbucks for a frappuccino they go. Well, for some completely strange and unknown reason, the sun came out today - you know what I mean people of the UK, that big yellow ball in the sky? I know, I'd forgotten what it was too - and as stated at the beginning of the post, I became one of those girls!

I tell you what sort of person I didn't become though, I didn't become one of those with enough common sense to realise that sunny doesn't necessarily mean not windy. But you know what, I've always been a big fan of Marilyn Monroe, so if unintentionally showing your Beyonce wannabe arse is good enough for her, it's good enough for me.

Cue extremely boring/not special at all/slutty suitably short outfit that Mazza herself would have been proud of (...or most likely, turned in her grave)

I wasn't joking when I said it was windy was I? not by the state of that barnet love...

"Quick Mum the wind's stopped, hurry up and take it!"

Poor, poor attempt at showing off my new favourite t-shirt ("that is your new favourite t-shirt?" Yes, I'm easily pleased) it's from H&M's new collection 'The New Icons' - you'd never guess it was called that would you? - and is based on four models Lindsey Wixon, Joan Smalls, Daphne Groeneveld (even spell checker struggled with that bad boy of a name) and Liu Wen. Well, if I can't look like a supermodel, I may as well have their t-shirt right?...right!

Unintentional 'crotch shot' to show you (well, try to anyway) the details of the skirt. I picked up this little number in the sale - of course I did #TightArse, #BargainHunter, #thrifty, #WhatKnobUsesHashtagsInBlogPosts *guilty face* - and I absolutely love it. Perfect for summer, but just as nice with a pair of tights underneath in the winter. Oh I bloody love a multi-use item!

Skirt that betrayed my arse' modesty: River Island

'the new icons' t-shirt: H&M

Jacket: Good old Toppers: Or to anybody not acting a tit...Topshop

Jeffrey Campbell rip-offs: Ever Yours

And that's about that for the pictures. To be honest, how on earth I made it through to the end without completely exposing myself - due to the gale force winds, not because I'm some strange streaker - is an absolute miracle. Oh, hold on....

...ahhh, it was all going so well!

Hope you enjoyed this post guys. As always, thank you so much for reading!

REVIEW: An introduction to Chanel

Sometimes in life, sad, unexplainable things happen. We can't always put our fingers on why, or how, we can't always get the closure we so desperately crave. Loss is such a terrible thing and each and every one of us deals with it in or own different ways.

I was confronted with those feelings this week.

R.I.P Laguna, you've served me well!

First I cried (pure exaggeration, although I wasn't far off) then I got angry (slight exaggeration, although the tight arse in me does not appreciate expensive products coming to an end) and then I pulled myself together, got my still not Beyonce sized arse in gear and got myself to the shops within the hour (no exaggeration at all. My face - Nars Laguna = Corpse-like skin. Sexy...)

Now, as much as I love my Nars Laguna an embarrassing amount, there are just so many bronzers out there and the natural shopaholic, superficial cow, beauty junkie beauty blogger in me had to branch out and try something new. I mean, it would be rude - to all the other brands out there - not to wouldn't it? Yep, that's exactly what I thought too.

This week I have also played tour guide for one of my Canadian family members that has come over to visit and of course, no good tour guide would leave out a trip to Oxford St - and more specifically Selfridges, House of Fraser and John Lewis - would they? No, they wouldn't. So, all in the name of trying to be a good tour guide, we took a trip to my mecca, my second homes, my happy place 'the power three' just to finish off the whole tourist experience. And obviously it had nothing to do with the fact that my bronzer died on me and I didn't fancy looking like a ghost/corpse for much longer. Nothing at all...

After much browsing of just about every beauty counter, a hand so caked in Bronzer swatches that I looked like I'd been gardening and many dirty looks from many beauty assistants - am I the only one who gets the 'my s**t don't smell' vibe? - I ended up at Chanel.

Welcome to 'the Elle next door'  Soleil Tan de Chanel...where have you been all my life?

Ahh the cons of having shocking eye sight (not that there's any perks either) looking back at pictures and realising you - and you're ratty barnet - are in the reflection. Screw you shiny packaging, screw you!

I've never tried this bronzer before, or any cream bronzer like this as it goes so I was a bit dubious to begin with - which isn't the best feeling when you've just forked out £31 *faints on the floor for the second time* - but thank the lord, I had no reason to be. Because I absolutely love this bad boy. Why? Well, give me a bloody chance and I'll tell you ;)

The texture and application - probably one of my favourite things about the product is the texture. It really is so creamy - not that you'd ever guess, you know, with it being a cream bronzer and all that... - which in turn, makes it so blendable and easy to work with and coming from a clumsy tit like myself, that can make hard work of the easiest things, that really does say something! I use it with either a Real Techniques buffing brush (more for overall bronzing) or a Real Techniques countour brush (if I fancy a bit more of 'Kim Kardashian chiselled cheek effect. Who am I kidding? It's a bronzer, not a miracle worker. *Sighs*)

Colour and longevity - I'm not gonna lie, when I first twisted off the - beautifully designed - lid (which just makes you feel classy by the way doesn't it? not that I will ever be considered classy. Ever!) my first thoughts were "I wonder if Willy Wonka's got room for another Oompa Loompa in his chocolate factory?" Yeah, I had a horrible feeling this bad boy was going to make me resemble a muddy carrot but, do you know what? Chanel pulled it out the bag with this one. Natural, even, dark enough to make a difference (on my nc25-nc30 skin) but not too dark that you're bordering on Katie Price. Also a massive thumbs up for the longevity, 9hours later and it genuinely looked no different to how it did when I first applied it. Score!!

So, I reckon that's about it when it comes to my embarrassing gushes review for this product. I suppose all that's left is to show you a picture of on it, you know, so you can really get an idea of just what the product does. I know I find that really useful when I'm reading other bloggers reviews of certain products so I hope it's the same for you too. Here's Soleil tan de Chanel in it's full glory...

Isn't it amazing? I thought so too, life changing! No, on a serious note I wasn't lucky enough to end up looking like the above, I also wasn't lucky enough to get a good enough picture (story of my life) so I've cropped a shockingly bad photo from an outfit picture I attempted yesterday. We all know this a crap attempt of trying to show you the product but just humour me for a moment and say you can see what I'm getting at yeah? Brilliant, you lot are the best ;)

If I can't have Kim Kardashian's arse, I may as well try and achieve her cheek bones. Well, I did say try!

Have any of you lovely lot tried Chanel's Soleil tan de Chanel? (jesus, what a mouthful!) Any devoted Nars Laguna lovers out there? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Hope you all enjoyed this post guys. As always, thanks so much for reading!

OOTD: Banana's in Pjyama's inspired...you read that right!

I think it's probably the same in any industry, in any walk of life in fact that you're going to come across 'banter' from time to time. In the industry I'm in however, I kind of feel like if you haven't "got banter" you may as well start considering another career. Unless you can put up with being taken the piss mickey out of on a regular basis, without saying anything back that is...(or maybe I've just landed jobs with a lot of 'blokey banter' or..maybe I've just got one of those faces that people like to mug off - take the p**s out of for anybody who's not as common as muck as I am from London or nearby) ...I am definitely going with the latter.

So with that in mind, I am mentally preparing myself to get an absolute ribbing/constant flow of verbal abuse for the following outfit. Bearing in mind the last time I wore my stripy trousers I was called "candy cane" "stick of rock" "zebra" and a whole other variety of ridiculous stripey objects all day, I can only imagine what derogatory nickname I will receive the day I wear/if I wear the below outfit. I'd say "Curtains" "Security" or "Banana's in Pyjamas" is a pretty safe bet. On second thoughts, that's probably a bit too polite.

Onto the outfit. Disclaimer - you will need to wack on the nearest pair on sunglasses you can find. If you don't, when you're blinded by my lairy, neon, bordering on unacceptable shirt...don't say I didn't warn you!

No people of England, the sun hasn't come out - yeah right, more chance of me going out in an outfit that isn't neutral...oh, awkward... - it's just little old me, branching out (well, attempting to anyway) of my very limited comfort zone!

 Now for a little bit more of a close up of the trousers. Apologies in advance for the near crotch/camel toe shot. Girl (trying to show off what the trousers look like) has gotta do, what a girl's gotta do! Yeah...thanks for that love!

Now, these trousers. I genuinely never thought I'd have the balls - or even want - to attempt to pull these off.  (Don't worry, I am well aware that I am definitely not 'pulling these off'...theoretically speaking of course, that would be a bit awkward if I just started undressing on camera *cue Full Monty theme tune* Da da da dah.) What was I saying? Oh yes, pulling them off. I don't think I've worn a pair of trousers that aren't sausage in the skin super skinny in about 5 years so I was worried that my scrawny legs would be a bit 'swamped' by these. Thankfully they're a lot less Harem like than I feared (sorry girls, I'm just not a harem fan) meaning they are just about acceptable. Long live drain pipe jeans!

Oh, while I'm here, shout out to Essie's cult classic Mint Candy Apple - shout out? who do I think I am, a bloody DJ? what a knob - which has been on my nails (not sure where else I thought you could put it) for 8, yes 8 days now. No chips, only the slightest tip wear on 1 finger. Amazing in my books, and that's coming from a girl who has more nail polish than Miranda Kerr gets Daily Mail online headlines. Yeah....impressive!

Security guard High Vis inspired shirt: Forever 21
Trousers to blame for my inevitable "Curtains" nickname: Primark (where else? #bargainbabe)
Shoes: Office
Battered and just about readable watch: Michael Kors
Cuff: H&M

Would it be a bit 'knob-ish' to applaud myself for being a bit more 'out there' with my outfit today? Yes, but you're probably going to do it anyway You're right, I am gonna do it anyway. If you'd have told me I would've been seen dead gone out in this ensemble I'd have probably called you mad. But here I am, giving security guards and curtain/wallpaper shops a run for their money! Oh how times have changed....until my next OOTD when I will be no doubt be back to black *cue Amy Winehouse* "We only said goodbye with words..." Sorry, I'll give up with the tunes now.

So, what are your takes on the neon/paisley trend guys? Feeling it, tried it out yourselves? If you have I'd love it if you could leave your links in the comments so I can cry that everybody can pull it off a thousand times better than I can take inspiration from you.

Hope you enjoyed this post guys. As always, thanks so much for reading :)

TOWIE Series 8...it's a wrap - The Make up, The Outfit, The Hair

Well, I am currently writing this post sprawled out like an absolute heffer sitting on my sofa with a McDonald's in one hand, and coffee in the other. Usually, I have no valid excuse for my state of trampiness. Today however, I do. Last night you see (Wednesday night, in typical fashion I ended up posting this 4days later #uselessblogger) was the TOWIE wrap party. It was also my first proper night OUT out in 3months, a free bar and a hello to my social life again. In other words, it was never going to end well!

The party was at No5 Cavendish Square, which is one of my favourite venues and there's not much else to say other than that it was an amazing, albeit pretty messy night, which quite clearly shows in the pictures. Oh, and to warn you/apologise in advance that this post is pretty much a photo-bomb of the TOWIE cast and crew. If you have no interest in the show/haven't got a clue what it is, this post will probably be extremely boring for you, if you do know and like the show, this post....will probably bore you too (great self promotion there Elle, knock yourself before anyone else can and all that...) I have however wacked in a bit of fashion and beauty towards the end i.e what I wore - I will never be able to write that without feeling like Jimmy Saville a raving pervert - and what make up I went for. Riveting info for you all there. Just riveting...

 Don't ask why/how I look so deformed in the photo above. I always knew I was flexible but I've almost done an 'exorcist' and plonked my head onto my shoulders. Attractive....

And of course, a TV wrap party isn't a wrap party without a good photo booth is it? Disclaimer * as a warning/please forgive me/apology/please don't unfollow me...in advance, I will reiterate the following. It was a free bar, it was my first big night out in what seemed like forever and we do work very hard. What I'm trying to say is we I pretty much look like a pile of shit in every single picture. Don't say you wasn't warned!

....I wasn't joking about the 'pile of s**t' thing was I? You certainly bloody wasn't screams the world!

Now, onto the outfit and make up. Firstly though - oh hurry up and get on with it you rambly bitch - I actually need to put it out there that on the day of the party I had been up since 6am and had done a full days work. (That's it, cover your back love!) So you can forgive me for my hair, make up, outfit and practically everything on my personal being for being a bit ropey can't you? Ahh, thank goodness for that!. What an understanding bunch you are ;)

Right, time for the make up, not that anybody would want to resemble my face, I am well aware of that. I am more listing this for my own benefit because I get embarrassingly happy talking about make up. Does that make me sad? Yes. Does that make me a loser? Probably. Do I care? Absolutely not!

Some products not included in this picture because...I was too lazy to root through my make up bag to find them. Someone say lazy bitch? LAZY BITCH

Face:

Mac Studio Tech - a mix of NC25 and NC30 to get a perfect match. Why is NC27 slightly pink by the way Mac experts? Or is it just me? Definitely just you love.

Nars Laguna - it's a classic and it's coming to an end and I'm actually gutted which definitely makes me a saddo and a bit of a tight arse!

Mac Well Dressed blush - don't check the packaging, it's a sign of being well loved!

Kevyn Aucoin Celestial Powder in Candlelight - there's a mouthful and a half

Eyes:

Urban Decay Smog - across the lid and under the bottom lash line

Urban Decay Half baked - in the centre of the lid

Collection Felt tip liner - it'll always be Collection 2000 in my eyes 

Maybelline Gel liner on the upper and lower waterline. Watery eye central! 

Maybelline The Rocket Waterproof - Love this. Review to come... 

Mac Lashes in Number 3 - not pictured as I woke up to them screwed up and stuck to my arms. Classy

Random browny/grey eyeshadow through the brows - I pride myself on being thorough with details, obviously...

Lips:

Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Liptick - love the colour, hate the artificial smell.

Mac Angel - my first and all time fave Mac lipstick.

And for those of you not as superficial as me and on the verge of nodding off to sleep, some more snore worthy info for you coming up. Here's what I wore....

Now, as shocking as this is to believe, I never actually got a full length picture of me in my dress on the night (hence the dodgy 'test run' pic from when I tried it on 3days before, with no fake tan, no makeup and greasy hair. What a beaut!) The real reason for that is I was in too much of a rush to get to the venue and once I was there I was too enamoured in the photo booth and bar to even remember. I would've taken one when I arrived home but...well, there are no words to describe the state in which I arrived home in. Well, maybe one. Rough!

Oh and just to finish the whole 'look' off, if you fancy recreating my hair; find the nearest hedge, find your nearest enemy, and get them to drag you through it backwards. That will pretty much do it.

So there you have it, if you've actually made it to this point, you deserve a blue peter badge (remember those?) and also a thank you - and congrats, you're hardcore readers ;) - from me. I often get many messages about my work and personal life so I hope this post was interesting for you guys, and if it wasn't, I'll be back to writing about all things superficial in the next post.

As always, thank you so much for reading!
