If I seem a little strange, that's because I am

Just a set that i made on polyvore today, was feeling really inspired! Don't know if you have been watching New Girl recently but it has gotten really good, every single character and actor/actress was cast perfectly and it wouldn't feel the same with but a single one taken out, love it. I love Schmidt and Nicks relationship and of course Nick and Jess are cute as fuck. And any one who knows me knows that i probably couldn't live without the amazing Roosterteeth channel (gaming commentary), absolutely hilarious, if you haven't already, go and check them out over on youtube. Amazing group of witty (and good looking) guys. If you are already a fan of roosterteeth, whos you're favorite lad or gent? mine is probably Ray or Gavin, but then theres Geoff... Anyway, comment!

Anyway the reason for the random love rave is because i thought why not mix my two passions and two franchises I'm fully committed to into an outfit! the girl in the photo set looks so much like Zooey Deschanel (New Girl) and with the blazer and teacher style satchel feels fitting for her. Whereas the hoodie and relaxed jeans roar Roosterteeth with a little hint of myself with the rings and shoes. Two things that couldn't possibly be tied together but I'm good. I'm really good.

Cant bring myself to get a wispy full fringe, should i do it? Anyway if i go on anymore I'm going to start boring myself. i Suck at blogging but i hate the forced blog post, and you can always tell. good bye all.

eye, eye! | Shu Uemura eyelash curlers

Well there's no going back. I may or may not have recently bought the most expensive pair of eyelash curlers on the planet, costing an arm and a leg amount of £20(!), but i say there is no going back because they are bloody brilliant! You're probably reaaaally sick of people yabbering on about them, believe me i was one of those people listening about these pieces of metal and getting quite pissed off. After all they are only eyelash curlers. But seriously now, i feel so confident when i use these and really good curled lashes made me look instantly more awake and bright. I personally love the lashy look with full coverage foundation to match. But these cater for every look you want to achieve, even if you dont wear makeup they make you look really gorgeous. On with the pictures, i couldnt manually get it to focus on my eyelashes and not my actual eye but you get the idea and i hope this was somewhat useful if you thinking of buying them. (what are you waiting for go now!)

The harvey Nichols bag is so classy. 

Bare eye (ergh).

 

after a good squeeze, still getting used to them so the second picture is my second attempt.

 Finished with a crappy bourjois mascara but the effect is really nice :)

thank you very much for reading! :D

2013 thoughts and two door cinema club.

Hello! im aliveeeeeee.
I hope your having an amazing start to the year whatever you may be doing. I know i wanted to get cracking on all the things i wanted to do in 2013 because it was going to be a big, exciting year for me. This post is more of a personal one so bear with me. So January has dealt me some tough cards, one of them never ending-one thing after another months, even though i was pretty happy to start a new year. Because when you have a significant/hurtful thing happen to you, you tend to slow things down and think about things a little more. So basically perspective. A tough knock into perspective is never the way you want it to happen, but when it happens it feels like a relief to how you were actually acting and what you thought was truly important after spending so long in one attitude. I've come to a small but important stage where the things that are most amazing are the ones that cant be held or seen, but felt. Like laughter and being around people that make you feel amazing, even taking lots of photographs of an amazing day instead of forgetting about it altogether, i find these things more precious than them mac brushes i was really bitter about because i couldnt afford them. Or them eyelash curlers 'everyone' has but not me. I know being a 16 year old girl obsessed with what other people thought and how they perceived me, was something that needed to change. But it should be how i see myself and if i feel secure in the person i am (which, for an aspiring actress, is crazy important). Instead of focusing on that, which really got in my head. I thought every bugger that walked past me was thinking the same of the person that insulted me that time a few weeks ago. {Im writing this at 1am so if you've read this far, thank you. really.} All im trying to get to, is how i want to see life from now on. So far in 1 month (because the horrible event happened in the first week of January, it almost kick-started everything straight away.) i have almost quit smoking cigarettes, from ten a day to a ten pack a week, which i feel ALOT healthier for. My skin is better too. Took more photos and not being ashamed to whip my phone out and take a bunch, which i used to be embarrassed about for some reason? Okay. so you get the general gist of whats going on and i hope that updated you to why i haven't been blogging. i can never read while i'm reading things, so i put this song right at the end, :) Two door cinema club hit a lot of nails on the head when i'm over thinking stuff and just helps put me in a better mood. This ones called sun and its definatly been my favorite song throughout January. 

year of the geeks!

I apologize if the term 'geek' offends anyone but i really could not think of another word. for this rise in the popularity of nerdy shit themed anything has gone a little crazy. I'm all for it though, i think the trend of the geeky, more squared off big glasses make most people look seriously amazing. I'm talking big bang theory, new girl's Zooey Deschanel's famous glasses, the oh-so-popular ray bans that EVERYONE wants. I recently bought some glasses in this sort of style from asos, the brand was 'Jeepers Peepers'. They weren't subscription but i wanted to see if that sort of shape glasses suited me so i could invest in a proper pair. Anyway, i'll shut up now and get on with the post. Picture heavy yo!

 1. me
2.photo i found on flickr, love the glasses!
3.the tattoos and glasses are perf!
4.zooey deschanel looking hawt!
5.vanessa hudgens, as always a hippie vibe.

smartbuyglasses is having a sale on and on some of the best glasses brands there is including ray ban! as its coming near christmas i really wouldnt mind treating myself to a pair of these.

hope you liked this short and sweet post :)

Avene extremely gentle cleanser | review

Baring in mind that I've never tried anything from Avene before, and i'd ran out of my favorite cleanser (Soap and glory 'peaches and clean'), i believe i made a big mistake in getting a completely new brand and cleanser when i'd finally settled on a good cleanser, tailored to my skin...Oops. £8's later, here i am with my new (not very good) cleanser.
 I have quite a lot to say about this one so ill get started. So Avene claims to 'remove face and eye makeup caring for naturally sensitive skin (be it fair, thin skin, or prone to redness) and due to different aggravations like excessive cleansing drying cosmetics or dermatological treatments' etc etc. sounds good to me! (I do have fair, dry skin so very ideal). But the strange bit, Avene doesn't want you to rinse the product off, but 'tissue' it off... hmm i'm no expert but that doesn't sound very gentle. ( I use a muslin cloth). In all the stripping off of all the preservatives, fragrances etc to make it as gentle as possible as they mention, they seem to have forgotten a large part of why the product exists: to remove makeup. Now the consistency is nothing ground breaking to begin with, just runny, opaque and white. Fragrance free (of course) but it just sat on top of my makeup when i was trying to remove it, and in trying to remove all my face makeup it seemed to irritate my skin even more because it just wasnt lifting it off. I have to repeat it a couple of times to get my makeup off and still didnt have that fresh faced feeling, i felt like i still had makeup on if that makes sense.
hope this helps and thank you for reading :)

Temptation

Its difficult to find the perfect darker shade red lipstick for a very fair skin and my favorite one for this is 'Tempation' from Rimmel its fairly dark anyway but to make it even more so, i mix it with a black eyeliner. I love doing this because you can get so many looks out of just 1 lipstick by differing the amount of black you mix into it.

MAC Marilyn Monroe Collection lipstick | Scarlet Ibis

I even had a countdown timer on my phone to when this collection would be released, and i had my heart set on getting a red lipstick, as Marilyn Monroe herself sported in 90% of her pictures. It just seemed right! the collection itself had some beautiful colours and items to buy, such as the brow set (gutted i didnt get my hands on that), but the let down for me was the packaging, not so much on the lipsticks, but the eyeshadows/blushers etc, it just looks abit, 'meh'. Saying that i was happy with my lisptick in Scarlet Ibis, a little bit more orange toned than classic red. Says matte but for someone with dry lips like me, it really is quite moisturizing for a matte finish. 

Beautiful picture of Marilyn.

Autumn Style to perfection.

Autumn is a personal favorite season of mine, you can wear your pajama top under a big coat and no one would notice (not that i would do that, but!) this week ive been seeing whos being doing it right in autumn.





Looking great in the rain: Gemma Ward in Vogue a few years back, stunning.

Burberry is a gathering for beautiful people!







General persona: Dita Von Teese looking 50's stunning as per, her classy and stylish persona and general vibe is my thing to admire about her.  

Style: Kate Bosworth, also at Burberry, looked absolutelygorgeous in that pencil skirt, belt (that ive been lusting over for months!) and those boots. Those freakin' shoes are gorgeous, and make her legs look amazing. Everything about this outfit screams i look proper good and its nearly autumn and im warm enough. Well jelly.

Make-up and hair: Kelly brook, even though she always looks incredible (cow), this really is a stunning photograph. For both makeup and hair. Her makeup to start with is very simple and lashy which i love, and her hair is just a beautiful length and style, with bouncy curls, gives it a lovely 50s vibe.


I'm going to do a must have beauty products for autumn in next post! :)
