Hello Kitty spin on a requested look

Photo: Saw this and thought of you :) x

A good friend of mine sent me this picture, so i took it as a challenge to remake this. But I'm not much for the colors, so i put a Hello Kitty twist on it with some pink!


prime and highlight the brow bone and inside of eye.


Add a light pink on the inside of the eye to about over halfway.


With a lighter pink shade past the eye crease and up to eye-bone.


With a thinner or angles brush and black shadow line the crease of your eye.




Using gel liner line back over the crease.
  

then line top and lower lashes and create a cat's eye flick at the end


using black shadow, blend from the cats eye flick to the middle of the eye.

using gel liner draw a bow on top of the flick



Using the fluorescent pink in the 120 palette, wet and color in the bow



Finially go over the bow and add a little more detail.



et voila! hope you like!

To Wig or not to Wig, that is the question!




Soooo remember I said i wish I could have my ah-may-zing red hair back?
But my natural hair is too knackered  what from going from black to bleach blonde then back to brown in a matter of a couple of months?

Wellll...Lucky ol'me won a red wig off ebay! for like £10!!
Unfortunately it was a total impulse buy and silly me did not read the description, in the heading it read ' human hair wine red wig', it came. It was fluorescent red and synthetic (plastic) hair. Upon reading the description bit it says 'human-like hair'. Great.
Some things are too good to be true sometimes!

So here are a few pics, let me know what you think!
Had to take the flash off because it makes the hair shine and it does make it look like synthetic hair.
:/



But what I want to know is would any of you go out in it or even a wig?
I would love to but im too scared that some sket will pull it off, which personally I find a little risky pulling someones wig off as you never know why they have it on in the first place!
plus in photos i don't want it to shine and look like a silly wig.

But benefits are that you don't have to spend a load of time and money doing your hair on a night out, it looks fabulous and that means more time to drink!!!

Any yes I know it makes me look like Holly of Geordie Shore...

Beetlejuice Lips


Probably one of the best films EVER made!
So far ive made the outfit for Halloween at work, made too much of an effort and scared most of the kids away! haha!
sooooo for a change i thought id try and make some beetlejuice outfit styled lips! love the stripes!












Always always vasoline up lips and eyes, especially if you are using eye shadow and want to keep it vibrant, the pigments stick better and stay on for longer.


Select white and/ or silver shadow, i used both off the 120 palette off ebay



Pat onto lips (never wipe!)



Using gel eyeliner, start putting the lines on lips, try to keep them from being different sized and thickness. don't forget to do the insides.


Beetlejuice.......

Hair extensions!

I am known for always buying, wearing, dying, sewing and cutting many many hair extensions. I was silly when i was younger and had my hair cut short, along with all of the dying and heat products, it never grows!!
So I've had to keep opting for wearing someone else's haha!
I usually wear between 18-21 inch extensions, but looking back at pictures i noticed how ratty they went and looked. With having choppy layers then suddenly a load of long straight hair at the bottom, they did not go. (Example below with hard hat)

A few weeks ago i won a full head of 14inch extensions. A bit apprehensive of wearing them, i gave them a go. They looked fab! They made my hair look thicker, abit longer and they matched in with my layers! I think i might have to wear these more!!

It always shows...LESS IS MORE!! ❤

But here is the step by steps:
1. line lips with a darker red to the lipstick, either a burgundy or purple lip pencil
2. fill in hte sides of the mouth and blend the pencil into the lip with your finger
3. Add the red lipstick into the inside of the lips
4. Re-line the lips to make them pop!

Rawr!

Temporary Tattoos



This is an easy and amazing way for an amazing look on a night out. The instructions probably say to avoid the eye area, but whats the worse that can happen if you are not allergic to it! They come off easily with a bit of warm soapy water and a good rub!


Here are some of the looks i have gone for, i mainly get the temporary tattoos off eBay or Claire's accessories.



Beautiful butterflies! all individually cut out and stuck on


A bit hard to see , but there's a floral skull in blue and pink, matched the eye shadow to it too!


This took up most of my face for the night, but everyone i spoke to loved it! a colorful Phoenix matched up with flaming red eyes!
Killer!

My style Icon


I love love love Katherine Von Dratchenburg a.k.a Kat Von D, i think shes an amazing inspirational woman. And yes i have abit of a girl crush, she always looks and dresses amazing and she has made a name for herself. Seen all of the LA Ink and Miami Ink and follow her on every sight i can.


When i go out i use my gel eyeliner to draw on the stars, but it does take practice and a steady hand!
I do sometimes get funny looks and asked if they are real, obv i have to say no  but it would be totally rad to have them tattooed on!


On her instagram she put up a picture that a friend drew for her and the woman in it had bats instead of stars on her face, kat commented on it saying how she wished she had bats instead of stars. So luckily mine are'nt tattooed on so i got my gel liner and went for it!
totally love it! batman all the way!

SNOW!

Woo snow! Better late than never?!
When i was younger i loved snow, schools closing, making snowmen, playing snowball fights with friends.
But now i HATE it! Having a job, university and driving, its just a damn nuisance.
Im the worlds worst driver, but what doesn't help is being stuck at work till 10:30 then more than likely being stuck IN work coz im too scared to drive!
Theres people moaning and complaining about people moaning and complaining about the snow. Well i tell yah love, you may as well be watching total wipeout when it comes to me and the white stuff!
Anyways, i hope you are all having fun and being safe on the roads!

My hair over the years (i swear i'm not vein haha!)



Sooo I have had many many mannnyyy hair colors over the years. And to say, i am glad i did it, but the state my hair is in now. I wish i didn't. Oh Well! I either use bleach to lighten it, then added Directions semi-permanent hair dye (as above). Or i just color my hair extensions differently (like below).


This hair was meant to be dark brown, but it ended up black after using a packet hair color  So black hair and i added in electric blue into my hair extensions.

I REALLYYY miss my old red hair, it reminds me of Ariel off the little mermaid! but it was a total pain to keep vibrant and i had to keep putting Schwarzkopf XXL red on, then it went ginger :(


On these 4 pictures below i had whats called a 'halo', which is a band of bleach that goes around your head (like a halo!) it was fab! i kept throwing on the Directions colours and each time they faded out id put a new colour on!


This photo makes me laugh because this is when my dad used to dye my hair for me :p he'd go into work the next day with bright pinky/purple hands haha! 

Green Directions!


The 'Halo'.


This is my current hair colour, booorrrinnngg brownnn :( 


This was when i was on holiday with my friends, i was in total awe with the singer Ke$ha, i loved her messy big hair and had to recreate this EVERY night i went out with my millions of hair extension! Ball ache but worth it!


MY GOSHHH! the stupidest idea ive EVER had! going from black to blonde, it took agesss! and in the end my hair started to snap off and i ended yp with clumps of hair falling out and a mow-hawk where my parting was due to the brushing causing it to all snap off!. Bad idea, bleach is a KILLER!!!

Bleach and using up the many pots of Directions dye (as shown on first picture)


Still bleached, but mixed lavender and purple Directions hair dye with half n half n conditioner to create a pastel look, hopefully i can show a video in the next couple of months doing it on my friend :)


Black hair with flamingo pink Directions dyes blonde hair extensions ( this was before the bleaching process)!


This was the red Directions i used, i think it was called 'Poppy Red' as the XXL was not bright enough for me, i kept topping it up with the Directions. But the best thing was that when it faded it didn't go orange or ginger, it went a lovely pinky colour! bonus!


This was when the pastel was fading out (which it did very easily) and i combed and backcombed the hell out of thids to get it over one side, then pinned the little bit left behind my ear to give a 'undercut' look!


Finally the black and grey/white part. As you cna guess, i was fascinated with the Johnny Depp's Sweeney Todd, so i re-created the hair! using XXL blonde to make the bit blonde, then toned with Directions silver toner.
