Lana Del Rey

I absolutely love Lana Del Rey. She's beautiful, has a wonderful voice and I love her style. If you haven't heard of her, which I doubt you haven't, then I'd definitely recommend listening to her music! Her make-up has been inspiring my everyday make-up for the past few weeks and I thought I'd share some of my favourite tutorials on how to achieve her modern 60s look. I would of loved to create my own picture-tutorial on here but as I cannot upload any images then it's not really possible *sigggh* 
Enjoy! 

Some of my favourite images of Lana Del Rey because she is so so beautiful

Pastels

I'm in love with the trends for Spring/Summer 2012. Especially 'colour blocking' and pastels. Looking through magazines full of summery clothes makes me wish it was summer :(

Beauty Wishlist 2012

Hello strangers.
 I'm so sorry I have been lacking in posts, again. I have two very important science exams at the end of this month so I haven't stopped revising, and my computer decided to stop working just before Christmas so I have been unable to put anything on here until now as only now I have a replacement computer, but I cannot upload any photos from my camera so I'm a bit stuck on posts to make :( *I'm not the most creative person either* 
I really wanted to do an inspired by someone make-up tutorial, kind-of like step by step photos on how to achieve a certain look, as I love doing make-up, but the camera problem kind-of prevents me from doing that, but would that be something any of you would be interested in seeing? If so, let me know in the comments below :-) 

I've been lusting over many high-end beauty products since the start of 2012 and I thought I'd share them with you, hope you enjoy!

'Til next time, 

October Obsessions!

Well hello. Yes, I know this post is a little late but hey ho, I've be enjoying a lot lovely products/clothing this month and I really wanted to share them with you guys. :-)

Skin Brightening Toner - Botanics @ Boots - £4.07
I love this toner because I feel it takes the redness out of my skin really well, and I do feel  that my skin looks a lot more "brighter" which I need for the dull winter months. And most of the ingredients are natural so that's always a plus! 

Patent White Doc. Martens - Ebay - £55
My boyfriend was kind enough to get these for me as I've been lusting over them forever!  Definitely my favourite of my favourites haha. Haven't taken them off since I got them, and they're really good quality and the seller he bought them from on Ebay got them delivered really quickly, and they were a really good price, and I totally recommend them. Ah I love them so much :-)

Conditioning Clay Mask - Botanics @ Boots - £4.29
My skins been looking really tired, and dull lately but I feel this mask brings 'life' back into it as cliché as it sounds. But I find it's easy to apply, and easy to remove which I don't seem to get with many clay masks. It leaves my skin looking refreshed and moisturised instantly!

Express Finish 40 Nail Polish - 865 Turquoise Green - Maybelline - Boots - £4.09
This is an amazing colour (It's on my middle finger in the picture) and it applies so easily! I've worn it the majority of this month! 

Urban Decay Primer Potion - Sample size from the Naked palette
I love this! Definitely getting the larger version when this one runs out.  It makes my eye-shadow  go on so smoothly and it prevents creasing and makes the eye-shadow colour stand out. Don't know what I did without it! :-) 

Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate - Rimmel London - Boots - £5.99
As you can see this is such a nice shade. It's a very deep, purple, which looks really flattering on me, and dark lips are definitely on trend! 

Ultra Shines Lipgloss - Spiked Punch - Benefit - £14ish
Such a beautiful colour, even though it's very "summer" I've been making it work for autumn/winter by appling it over darker/deeper lipsticks and it looks beautiful. Really glossy and tastes amazing! Also looks really nice worn alone, and it has such great pigmentation it looks, and feels as it's not sticky at all, just like a really glossy lipstick.

Stay Matte Pressed Powder - Rimmel London - £3.99 - 003 Golden Peach
I really like the texture of this powder, and I love the way it looks on my skin, really matte but not cakey :-)  Although it doesn't last too long, which isn't a massive deal for me since my skin isn't very oily! 

E.L.F Cream Eyeliner - eyeslipsface.com - £3.50 - Coffee
Soo glad I bought this! It applies really smoothly, and has great pigmentation, and does not budge! Brilliant for school/college/uni/work etc. as it looks the same at the end of the day, when you first applied it. and it's cheap! what more could you want?! 

   Nars Blush - Deep Throat - 29€ - Sephora in Paris

Bought this in the summer while I was at paris, and only now I'm starting to wear it! Really didn't like it much when I got it, but I really like the look of it on my skin now, I don't know why! It's a really pretty deep pink with gold shimmer and it stays on all day. 

Sleek Blush - SuperDrug - £4.29 - Life's a Peach
Looks really flattering on my cheeks, so easy to wear :-) 

Urban Decay Naked Palette - £35 - Debenhams
I love all of the colours in this, I there hasn't been a day where I haven't worn it since I've got it, totally worth the money! :-) 

Mac Satin Lipstick - Rebel - £13.50
I love this colour! It's so unique, and this lipstick stays on forever! Also, the shade is perfect for Autumn/Winter , it's still somewhat bright but it's also a pretty deep pink/purple. Ah I love it, it's perfection!

Daisy "So Fresh" Perfume by Marc Jacobs - Boots - £42 - 75ml
Such a fresh scent and I love it so much. Can't get enough of it :-) 

Strapy Wedge/Platforms - H&M - £19.99
I've also been wearing these at every chance I can. I love them! So easy to walk in due to the platform and how light-weight they are, and they look great with anything. I'm obsessed! :-)


Hope you enjoyed, and I hope I get to do a "favourites/Obsessions" post every month as I love showing people what I've been loving, and I love seeing what other people love. Have you done an october favourites? Link it below and I'll be sure to check it out  :-)
