Under eye dilemmas? PUFF OFF

Unknown February 23, 2015 0 Comments

So guys i do apologies i have not posted in some time now but i am about to show you just what i have been getting up too!

In November i started a new job on the BENEFIT COSMETICS counter in DEBENHAMS SHEFFIELD (on the moor) so i have been busy working but i'm now making more time to fit my blogging in!!

In January we recently launched a new product called PUFF OFF and can i just say it is amazing!

i don't know whether it is a coincidence but i have had a lot of customers coming up to me with under eye dilemmas either worried about dark circles or puffy eyes!

if you are one of those people who is concerned with something like this some of the benefit cosmetics are absolutely brilliant at helping these solutions.

first off i shall start with puffiness! our new product puff off is a cooling eye gel that de-puffs! smooths

and brightens those eye areas. it has light reflecting particles in which brighten, peach in colour to help brighten the discoloration and it also has pep-tides in which smooths the area. The product also has a cooling iron tip to help smooth and de puff the eye! it feels sooooo relaxing! its perfect for those early mornings and late nights to keep you looking fresh and beautiful! for covering aswell as brightening mix with the erase paste concealer as it is pink/salmon toned so that will hide any discoloration but its also great thick coverage!

we also did an amazing event for the launch over at debenhams so if you want to be involved in exclusive events like this for benefit cosmetics come over to Debenhams in Sheffield on the moor!

I absolutely love sam and nic I have watched their channel for such a long time now. I've heard so many great reviews about their brushes so I've decided to give them a try!!

My favourite brush out of them all so far is the first one on the left, the exclusive face brush. It gives such a great finish on the skin! I use it to apply my powder and it doesn't go on too thick it's amazing! Makes the face glow with the finish it creates!

The eye brushes are brilliant I love using those too! The angled brush Is great for creating the perfect cat eye look.

Wonder'FULL

New mascara alert! I've been in desperate need for a new mascara

And I happened to pick up a look magazine couple weeks back and luckily for me there was a full page on mascara reviews and this was the one that caught my eye!

I'm never usually big on mascara but nah that give me a spider lash is a big NONO! This one is great because It has argan oil in it which is great conditioning for the lashes so big fan of the mascara however sadly i'm not a fan of the brush! :(

I've had to use a different brush because it makes me have spider lash, it may be different for some. Can't fault the mascara at all it's just the brush doesn't work for me, I like a thick colossal mascara but I wanted to try something different!

OOTD - NEW PURCHASES. - PART ONE.

So recently i have gone absolutely crazy and i just ( as most girls ) can't stop spending my money! so far this month I have made some lovely purchases which are worth taking a look at!

I also managed to get hold of some Bargains too!

One of the key pieces that are really in at the moments is Duster coats! in any colour! the ones that are my favourite on the high street at the moment are the checks, black & white and also the dusky pink!

pink appears to be really in this season and I am really making the most of it. Before I went on a huge shop I actually didn't own anything pink, now the majority of my wardrobe is all different shades of pinks!

I happened to be reading through LOOK MAGAZINE. and I spotted a model wearing some beautiful dusty pink high waisted trousers that come just above the ankle. I HAD to have them!! so i rushed to TOPSHOP straight away tried them on and they fit perfectly! they are the best £40 I have ever spent and i will definitely be on the look out for more cigarette trousers in Topshop!!

ITS SO HARD no longer working at Top man because im not surrounded by Topshop every day so when I do go I just go absolutely crazy!!!

Here i am wearing the BEAUTIFUL cigarette trousers! My CHECKED duster coat has also been such a great piece ! (again from TOPSHOP) it goes with most of my clothes and when I don't feel like wearing a huge coat its great just to throw on!

July Makeup Loves
So this month I have had some pretty good drug store and upper high street branded makeup that I am absolutely in love with and I will definitley be purchasing them again once I run out and I am nearly out!!!

My first love of the month is my gosh velvet touch lipstick in 122 nougat.

I never usually wear nude and natural coloured lipstick but I found that this one really suited me and I really like the texture! Not only that I found that it lasted a really long time and I love it that much I have nearly used it all in just a month! (As I wear it every day)

No.2

The seccond thing I'm loving right now is the FIT me maybellene compact pressed powder! It's really soft and sheek - very light weight to just add to your face after applying your foundation! Especially if your already wearing a heavy foundation as I do!

No.3 - rich liquid illamasqua foundation!

For my birthday I went for my makeup doing at illamasqua and I was so pleased with the result. I actually asked a woman who worked there what foundation she was wearing because I really loved the finish on her skin so I asked the makeup artist to put that one on me and I love it! I only got it mid July and as it has a really thick consistency I know it will last me a really long long time! I also got a darker one than usual as I am wearing fake tan quite often recently and if I need to lighten it up I just mix in my Rimmel match perfection foundation in light porcelain which is available in most drugstores and is a bargin at only £6. The rich liquid foundation is £30 but it is totally worth the price and it makes your skin look flawless and lasts a really long time! Not only that I've had no breakouts! Which I usually get when using thick mac makeup so result!!

The colour I use is 210.

No.4 sheer lip gloss in the colour intamacy by illamasqua!

Again I am not used to wearing nude glosses but I absolutely love this one! Especially on top of my lipstick in nougat by gosh! They look so so good together! (Also wearing in the picture above)

I have actually nearly run out of this as I wear it so so much!! And I only got it mid July! Naughty Demi!!!!

Last but not least this red super saturated high gloss lip colour stick in adrenaline by urban decay was a birthday prezzie from my best friend and i absolutely love it! It doesn't dry out my lips and it stays on for a good amount of time to! I do have to re apply It as it's quite glossy!

Oh oh!! I nearly forgot! Lashes I have been loving at the minute these gorgeous natural black lashes by illamasqua in No.14! Not too heavy on your eyes they are just perfect!

FMP deadline approaching.. Sneak peak!

Unknown May 21, 2014 0 Comments

So guys it's nearly deadline day... Two weeks left I just can't believe it! I have worked every waking hour on this project and I am super pleased how it's turning out but I'm on a mad rush to get it all done! I'm just going to give you a sneak peak of my dress I've made but only in my toile fabrics!!!

I have made the dress in my best fabrics but until the photo shoot is done nobody can see it I'm afraid!!

It's coming up to the fun part! Sorting all my marketing materials arranging meetings for the photoshoot, practicing makeup and organising locations!! Eeeek

I am super super busy for the next two weeks so I do apologise if I'm not posting as often but I will try my best guys!!

Anyway before I ramble on anymore here is my dress made up in toile fabrics (calico) it looks very basic ATM but bare in mind I have a lot of detail on my actual garment!

My design is inspired by jellyfish and coral! My collection name is MAGNIFICENCE OF THE UNDERWORLD!

Sounds exciting right?

As soon as it is all finished my garment and all my marketing materials I will do a massive massive blog post to show you guys what I've been working my ass off for during the past couple of months!

My.. This did take some real hard work! I'm super fussy and until I get it exactly how I want it I will just keep changing it and re doing it over and over! I made the top half of the dress 5 times before I finally got it how I wanted it! It took its time but it was totally worth it!

I'm practicing the makeup tomorrow for my photo shoots and I can't wait it's just super exciting!! (I will also do blog posts on this too!)

Until next time my lovelies xxx

Fab florals? Get the look.

Unknown May 13, 2014 0 Comments

Bold Floral prints, angelic 3D blooms and delicate floral embrodary is popular on the catwalk in the coming up seasons.. Are you a fan of the 3D blooms?

Here we have a mix of the delicate florals, the bright & clashing prints and a touch of the 3D appliqué petals.

From left to right we have Nina Ricci sporting the delicate fluffy floral number.. Ermanno scenevino with the elegant silky bustier gown with minimal embroidery giving it that luxury exquisite touch.

Etro has gone for the bold and brash bright orange and cream clashing floral print which works amazingly! Clashing prints are definitely a big hit on the catwalk which has stemmed down nicely to the high street fashions. Last but not least on the right we have the classy Dolce and Gabanna black lace/mesh dress with divine rose petal appliqué.

Not only are they big on the catwalk but they are even bigger in our high street stores.. I've spotted a few pieces in topshop which you can see have stemmed down nicely from catwalk inspirations..

If you are into bold and clashing prints these are definitely for you! Tropical floral print shirt and we have a big clash on print in this floral stripe short sleeve collared dress.

If you are more of a colourful person and are not scared to go OTT on prints then these pieces will spice up your wardrobe ready for this lovely summer weather!

Here we have a colourful mix shirt, black and pink rose kimono which is similar to the dress by Dolce and Gabanna I previously spoke about and last we have a flippy floaty radiant orange and peach striped print cami..this would look perfect with a pair of denim shorts ready for the festival fashions coming up in the summer break!!

If bold, and brights are not really for you how about toning it down a little..

Monochrome florals are too popular which are perfect for those who are not fond when it comes to colour.

From left to right we have Erdem, Emporio Armarni and Mathew Williamson.

Not all these are black and white but here Emporio Armani have quite dull greys with colour being worked into the print on this top and trouser co-ord for a subtle relaxed look.

Mathew Williamson is really going for it with the 3D appliqué this season. He is not holding back when it comes to this beautiful bed of Daisy's.

I have chosen to feaurture topshop of this post because they are too huge on monochrome floral prints and you will definitely no struggle to find the right black and white piece to suit you.
