Wanker.

But joke’s on him that a 26-year-old straight guy knows what Erase Paste is. :)

I’m pretty happy with how the pin curls turned out! And the make-up was so fun. Pin-up is my favourite look to do.

A hair tutorial by my favourite guru, Jazziebabycakes. :)

(It looked a lot better when it was just done. :P)

I’m looking for make-up tricks to make my nose look wider, but I can only find ones to make it looks narrower or smaller. I don’t want that!

Am I the only person with this problem? Guh.

MY CROWN BRUSHES ARRIVED!

Holy shit you guys.

I treated myself to some make-up with my graduation money, my GOD I love Benefit even more. Their “That Gal” primer is amazing, I’m wearing cheap-as-chips make-up over it and I actually have never seen my skin look this good.

I also got Brow Zings brow kit, which is a wax and powder complete with mini brushes and tweezers. I’d been using brow pencil before and I don’t think I will again. Yeah, it takes more effort but they look so much better.

Ok well I’ll stop sounding like an advert for Benefit now. I should get ready for work so I can buy all the other stuff I tried yesterday but can’t afford.

I’ve been experimenting with make-up again! This time I tried out this tutorial by the awesome JazzieBabyCakes on YouTube. I’m addicted to her videos, she’s a beautiful girl and has some amazing ideas for looks. I’ve never done a tutorial step-by step before but this one was so beautiful I had to try it!

What do you guys think?

Been watching youtube make-up tutorials with Kelly for a while and felt like playing around with some make-up myself! I went for green because it’s not a colour I wear much of. Sorry if my webcam isn’t picking it up well! I’ve included a before picture to prove just why the cosmetic industry rakes in billions each year - it really does make a difference, no matter how shallow that makes me sound!

Colours used are:

1. Lemonade colour from Fearne Cotton’s Made You Look Made You Stare (allover towards brows)
2. Honey from Urban Decay (on lid and inner corner)
3. A lime green from a Claire’s pallette I’ve had for years (on lid)
4. Graffiti from Urban Decay (on half lid extending out towards outer corner)
5. Lighter green colour from Fearne Cotton’s Made You Look Made You Stare (on crease)

Lip gloss is Extreme Plump XL from Soap and Glory :)

Been playing with my Fearne Cotton Pallette for the first time. The colours are great and blend well with others, and have practically zero fall-out. You do need to put quite a bit on but there’s loads in the pallette so it’ll last ages.I’m wearing the deep purple with silver and the lemonade-type colour under it. 

Isn’t make-up fun?

Oh and I’m holding my fringe out of the way, it’s not some failed model pose hahaha.

So FOLLOWERS, I’d like to ask some opinions. I eventually want to get my hair cut like this lady’s  (except not half as gorgeous haha) and was trying out what the style might look like. Do you guys think it’d be a massive mistake or not? I don’t want to be stuck with something that looks stupid. Be honest, seriously. I’ve had bad haircuts before and they haunt you for years.

I forgot to mention that I got some belated birthday gifts! They’re one of my favourite things, because when the fun dies down from your birthday you get to extend it a little :) They’re not all here, the lovely Kirsty got me a mini Soap and Glory hat box which, if you’ve been following me for a while you’ll know is my favourite range of toiletries. I practically drool when I see the display in Boots. And Ruth also got me this deadly little Alice In Wonderland head scarf which is one of those which you can get 6 looks out of. It’s so fun to mess with.

The pics are: 

1. Massive box of Marlboro lights. Jesus. I’m keeping this when it’s finished. From Ruth <3
2. Fearne Cotton’s make-up range pallette, called “Made You Look, Made You Stare”. it’s so feckin pretty, it has a little sugar skull detail on the front which is amazing. From Kirsty <3
3. Inside of palette, I can’t wait to use them but I’m keeping them for wearing out because the colours are so bright and pretty I couldn’t pull them off during the day. Did I mention I love Fearne Cotton? Her style is deadly.
4. A Benefit “Just In Case”, which is a cute little box with concealer, eye cream, lip shine and cheek and lip tint. It’s basically to keep in your bag in case you forget your makeup or you don’t want to carry it with you. I’m thinking it’d be deadly for those nights you bring out a little clutch bag and later regret it. Also from Kirsty!
5. Inside of the “Just in Case”. Oh, and I don’t need to mention I’m crazy about Benefit these days..

Yeah I’m seriously spoiled, I know.

Yeah I’m still not asleep.

1. I wish that I could find a nail varnish that didn’t clump, smudge, chip or recreate my fingerprints on each other to Horatio Kane standard every time I used them..In saying that, I’ve tried many brands and the common denominator is me. Maybe I should take a class.
2. I wish that my fringe (bangs) didn’t go greasy before the rest of my hair, and I can’t get away with it like my lazy teenage-self and just wash my fringe, since it’s so light it takes up half my head anyway.. and it’s just getting lighter. What do you want from me?!
3. I wish I could find tights that don’t twist. Is it just me or you think you have the toe lined up perfectly with the rest of the leg, gathered together and you only realise once you pull on your tights that the middle seam is over near your hip bone, your tights are oddly tight in areas and your leg looks like it’s been through a vice grip. Time to get untwisting.
4. I wish I hadn’t used my only lip-brush to clean out my keyboard. I didn’t think I’d need it but it turns out that I’m not as good at applying lipstick as I thought, and the just-fed vampire look is pretty difficult to pull off.
5. I wish back-combing would last a whole day with zero damage. It’s like I do it at the crown of my head, put down the comb, spray, walk downstairs and by the time I’m in the kitchen I look like I’ve been wearing a swimming cap for funsies. Yet my hair still feels like straw and looks like something you’d pull out from under a couch on moving day.

I’d set aside about a grand and absolutely raid the nearest Benefit counter.

Seriously, all their stuff is amazing. The packaging is adorable, they have a product to take care of every beauty mishap and they have colours to suit all styles. They’re like the Soap and Glory of the cosmetic world.

My only complaint is the price tag, I can’t justify spending over a tenner on a 3 teeny eyeshadows.

The nails. Holy shit the nails.
