Friday's Face

I popped out to see a friend and decided to try out "Antiqued". I worried that it'd be really dark but I think it really brightens up my eyes. I even had a couple of random people stop me on the street to ask what eyeshadow I was wearing (!). I could have blended my eyebrow highlighter in a bit more but I kinda love it. I added a couple of clip-in hair extensions and curled my hair with my Babyliss Curling Wand. 

Last week, I got a sudden urge to find out what I would look like with a nose ring on. I've had my nose pierced for approximately 6 years now but I've never worn anything but a tiny stud in it. I've had a few funny looks from friends but I think I'm kind of digging it. I was bored and felt like a change, so why not? What do you think of it?





I'm on the fence about MAC's Face and Body foundation. I think it's way too sheer/ light for me and it's almost a step-up from a tinted moisturiser. It'll be great for the summer or for people who want very light coverage. I had to really pile on my Mineralize powder to feel like my skin looked even. Maybe I'll give it another go when my scars/ hyper pigmentation fade a little.

CHILLaxing

I was dragged to a networking event last night on Kensington High Street with my wonderful friends and I surprisingly had a good time. I managed to persuade one of them to take a picture of me so I could fulfil my promise to the blog so here  goes:





I can't say that I was loving what I was wearing but I just slapped an outfit together and braved the disgusting cold. It was seriously COLD, the type of cold that chills you straight to the bone. I couldn't get a great close-up of my face because my camera decided it hates me but, hey, I tried.

Wraps 'R' Us

This is just a quick face of the day (FOTD) I put together sometime earlier in the week and I just thought I'd share. I've wanted a turban for ages but I wasn't prepared to pay the silly prices some places were asking for them so I decided to have a go at making one myself and it didn't turn out too badly if I may say so myself! I used a scarf from Primark I got not too long ago and I absolutely love it. It was only £3.00 but it's really good quality and it has a great classic, vintage look. I didn't want to go overboard on my makeup since I wanted to keep the attention on my turban so I stuck with simple eyes and a strong, red lip. Excuse the crappy iPod touch quality but it's handy for snapping quick pics on the go.
