| New Years Eve 2014 OOTN |

Hello!

Firstly, Happy New Year! I'm very excited to have a clean slate to work with! I won't touch too much on a New Years post because that's coming to you later in a whole Photos of the year post thing!

Let's get down to what i'm wearing!

Me and My best friends Aaliyah & Daisy went out for New Years to London and it was a great night from what I can remember!

I took the opportunity to wear basically everything new that i'd got for christmas, including my FAB yellow coat!

Yellow Boyfriend Coat

Primark

£23

Navy Polka Dot Dress

Forever 21

£unknown

Dr.Martens

£80

Camden

Tights & Socks 

Both Primark

 

I was also wearing this really sweet little Golden Apple Brooch from Vecchio Vintage, Which I purchased whilst at their Bloggers afternoon. I love it! So sweet.

I had my normal makeup on with some False Lashes & used my Mac Studio Fix Fluid to have a photo ready face, I love that foundation but at £21.50 a bottle it only comes out on special occasions!

I also popped in my pearl earrings, which I can actually wear without them falling out! I had previously stretched my ears to 16mm for around 2 and a half years & they've gone straight back! Result!

The obligatory Firemans Helmet Selfie.

Hope you had a wonderful night? Did you take any crazy selfies?

False Eyelashes Review | 10 Pairs Daily Long Curly False Eyelashes

Hello!

 I'm bringing you an eyelash review today! I used to wear really crazy false eyelashes all of the time last year but it slowly died out. I was thinking perhaps i'd go back to eyelashes to give myself a fuller lash line & went on a quest to find some lovely natural lashes!

I went to Amazon, my preferred place to purchase eyelashes & searched for some natural lashes and found this set of 10 for only 81p!

Once out of the box, The eyelashes are really light and fluttery & the strip they're attached to is actually clear, meaning they sit very discreetly in your lashline! 

I used the Eylure Lashglue to affix these lashes & I'll highly recommend using it!

I added a few small sweeps of mascara and no one could tell I was wearing falsies! Excellent, Ill be wearing these from now on.

Here's the link to these lashes! Get some for yourself if you love the look of them as much as me!

What are your go to false lashes?

That's all for today!

Beauty Buys ❤ December '14 ❤

Hello! Just thought i'd share a few things I purchased yesterday whilst out Christmas shopping with Ricardo!

Westfields was busy & we managed to fill our arms with bags rather quickly, presents for days!

Here's three make-up products I picked up in Superdrug!

Sleek Face Contour Kit

£6.49

Superdrug

I've been eyeing up a contour kit for some while now! The Face Contour Kit, Available HERE is an affordable alternative to the Smashbox & Anastasia Beverley Hills Kits. Pricing up at £6.49 it's a fraction of the price too, Making it an affordable treat for everyone!

I got mine in the lightest shade, 'Light' and I will say the shade is perfect for my very place porcelain skin. It blends well into your makeup and the highlighter is AWESOME.

The compact also has a really nicely sized mirror meaning that it will definitely be a staple in any travel make-up bag I use!

Sleek by name, Sleek by nature.

Gorgeous Color Contour & Highlight.

Miss Sporty Fabulous Lash Mascara

£1.99

Superdrug

Miss Sporty is my go to brand when it comes to mascara. I'm not one to look for something that does XXL this and FULL PLUMP that I just want my eye lashes to be black! For £1.99, You can't really go wrong with the Fabulous Lash range from Miss Sporty, It does exactly what it says it does & I love it! 

I picked up the curved edition to see if it does anything different like life my lashes etc, so we'll see!

Curved Brush Fablissimo!

MUA LUXE Velvet Lip Laquer in 'ATOMIC'

£3.00

Superdrug

Following my previous review of the 'Tranquility' shade of these lip lacquers I couldn't help but treat myself to another one! I've been fawning over the color Atomic, Swatching it every time I was in Superdrug and Yesterday I just bloody well bought it! 

It's a beautiful color, A bright Coral-Red and it applies beautifully and sets to a perfect Matte!

My only sad thing with these matte lipsticks is they rub off around the inside of my lips so eating & drinking may not be advised! other that that they are 100% Kiss proof and I can smother Ricardo with kisses without being moaned at! YAY!

ATOMIC

Swatched on the hand.

Super Punchy & Bright! 

P.s. NO BRACES! HOORAY!

That's all for now lovelies!

If you've tried the Velvet Lip Lacquers from MUA, Let me know what you thought?!

So I am in DESPERATE need of a new phone! My iPhone 4 has decided that my storage is full with a total of 10 photos, no music & no videos!Genuinely feeling to cry my eyes out, there's only so many apps you can delete until you're down to your crucial ones!

The iPhone 5C in yellow would without a doubt be my first choice. yep. It's glorious and I LOVE IT!

£64.99

Dr.Martens

Still got an obsession with pink Dr.Marten shoes, LOVE THEM! So cute!

Fjallraven Kanken Backpack

£65.00

ASOS

I totally love these backpacks! Although I have the complete inability to pronounce the name, I love that they have little carry straps as well as the generic backpack ones! So chic, so cute! Tres practical!  

I'm also on the lookout for a Vintage bedspread! I have an all white bedroom, which although is very nice & allows the room to feel very light I need some color to jump out! I've been absolutely loving all floral patterns from the 60's & 70's and think a Trip to the Haberdashery down brick lane is in order to see if he has any throws for me!

That's all for tonight! Hope you've been writing your Xmas lists for santa! What did you ask for?

| Buffy 'ANNE' Cosplay Progress |

Hello lovelies! 

I thought I'd share with you a cosplay post, because I do cosplay, Last year I was Blondie from Sucker Punch at MCM London. I didn't attend this year, but I still make lots of costumes!

Blondie Cosplay

I've been sewing for ages, as my blog can tell you, but I really wanted to crack on with a few costumes for my own portfolio! I LOVE Buffy, I've watched the series over and over, I knew I had to make a costume for her! 

Although Buffy is normally in Civvies and brandishing a wooden steak, I opted to make a more obvious costume.

 In Season 3 Episode 1 'Anne', Buffy begins the season working incognito as a waitress in a Diner. I love the uniform, It's so typically Diner & really cute!

Little details that really got me are definitely the Pointed sleeves, & the double tipped collar! Not to mention the Gingham, love me a bit of gingham!

The costume itself is really simple, Just a long button down shirt dress, With darts to fit it to the body & Gingham trim along the bottom. So I just needed a dress pattern I could manipulate.

Here's my (terrible) Rendering of the costume, I'm defo going to re-draw it! 

This was my basic plan, from this I worked out the different types of sizing and pattern shapes for the collar etc.

AND NOW, Progress pictures of the costume..

Before the collar went on, Naturally I left it to last, Collars are the bane of my life! I hate them!

Top stitched the crap out of this seam to stop the gingham from folding up.

The pointed sleeves, Kept pointy with the help of thin card, This costume can't go in the washer haha!

First try on, Ignore the bottom caught on my leggings, Not actually too bad!

Close up of the collar, Which still needs work on those tips! 

Currently need buttons etc, but it's quite hard to get clear buttons!

Added up, minus buttons this costume has cost me about £7 which Is bounds cheaper than buying it, Bonus! Although It's obviously no where near finished I just thought i'd share how far I've got with it and i'm really happy with how it's looking.

Ciao :)
