Eva Mendes

Eva Mendes is amazing in my opinion. Shes an amazing actress, is gorgeous

and has really good taste in clothes.

I love this evening gown she is wearing. It flatters her curves and is really feminine and pretty. I also love her natural make-up and relaxed hair style.

I like what Eva I wearing in this picture but I think I would prefer the shirt with a pair of straight or skinny jeans and the wide leg jeans with a more fitted top. Together I'm just not loving it.

This outfit I adore! It is similar to Lily Allen's outfit at the fashion shows in Paris. I love everything about the dress; the colour, the shape everything! I also love her shoes ... how gorgeous are they?

Charles Worthington Shine Shampoo & Conditioner

So I've have found a good shampoo & conditioner to give my hair volume but I really wanted something to make it really shiny & soft so I bought Charles Worthington Brilliant Shine shampoo and conditioner. It was 2 for £6 which isn't bad.

I thought I would love this stuff but sadly I'm not overly impressed by it.

I find it weighs my hair down and hasn't made it particularly shiny at all which is a little disappointing to say the least.

Miranda Kerr

Miranda Kerr is a Victoria's secret model and the girlfriend of Orlando Bloom & she has incredible taste in clothes.

Her main item seems to be blazers. She wears them with jeans mostly and with a cute bag like the pictures below. She always looks casual but still like shes made an effort which can sometimes be a hard thing to achieve but I think she does it really really well.

Aussie

From years of straightening, my hair has become quiet flat and thin although it is quiet thick

I wanted my hair to be a bit more big and full of volume so I was in Boots one day and decided to pick up some Aussie products.

I got the Dual Personality volume and gloss mousse, the dual personality volume and gloss hairspray and the Real volume shampoo and conditioner.

I change the two shampoos I used every time they run out so that my hair doesn't get too used to what its being washed with. The shampoo and conditioner even after three weeks of use is still washing my hair really well, giving it volume and making it shiny & soft.

This stuff wasn't over ally expensive but it is a really good brand. The products smelly gorgeous, they don't weigh down your hair it just leaves your hair feeling clean and soft.

The mouse and spray are amazing as well and I will definitely repurchase all of these products again sometime in the future. The reason I won't be repurchasing when they run out is simply I'm fickle and I like to see what else is out there also your hair has a 'memory' and using the same product too much causes the products to have no effect.

Aussie is a really really good brand however and definitely a good buy!

Studio Fix Fluid V Mineralize Satin Finish

What do I think about MAC's Studio Fix Fluid & there Mineralize Satin Finish Foundations?

I have tried both of these foundations and one I absolutely love, the other I'm not a fan off at all.

These foundations each cost £19 and are available from MAC counters/stores & mac.co.uk. My colour match was NW25 and this is the perfect colour for my skin.

I will start with the Studio Fix Fluid.

I bought this because I had heard so many good things about it & thought it was exactly what I was looking for. The first time I tried it I really liked it however after using this for nearly four week I am not so keen on it.

Why? you ask well .... to me it feels really heavy on my skin & looks really heavy. A look that I am not a fan of at all. The finish is matte but I have come to realise that I prefer a more lumious look.

The coverage of this foundation is incrediable but its just too matte and heavy for me. I like wearing make-up infact I love it but this just made me feel like I had caked it on and looked every so slightly like a clown.

The Mineralize Satin Finish .... this is my kind of foundation.

The coverage it light-medium and is buildable and if you have any under eye circles, spots etc etc a little but of select cover up solves those problems.

This gave a light, natural finish and didn't feel like I had make-up on at all. This didn't dry out my skin or cause spots which I did find with the SFF. I love the glowy look this foundation gives.

I am a little disappointed that I didn't love SFF as I had heard so many amazing things about it but its just not for me and to be honest if something isn't right for you why bother continuing with. You've got to do what makes you happy! Ha only I could get meaningful about a foundation but anyways!

I have made the decision to back to MAC the Studio Fix Fluid and re-purchase the Mineralize satin finish.

17 Eyeshadow

So I was going through the make-up I don't use anymore and came across this 17 eyeshadow.

When I was about 15/16 I used to wear this all the time but then I got out of the habit of using it.

I tried it again today and I really love it. Its a gorgeous chocolate brown with golden undertones. Its a really pretty neutral that adds a bit of detail to your eyes.

I didn't use any other shadow just this one (which i don't know the name of because its rubbed off but i have hit pan so i will be getting a new one soon.)

Its pretty cheap at £2.89 but it does need a good primer underneath. I really like this with some winged eyeliner, a sweet cheek & a nude lipstick with some pink lipgloss over the top.

How it looks in the pan.

On my eyes, the lighting's bad but its the best i could do sorry!

Some posing for good measure!

Random!

I realised today that I haven't done any make-up on here

for ages so tomorrow I'm going to do something for this. Probably a neutral brown look because that's really all i do for daytime but I might but a twist to it ... wait and see how time goes etc etc.

Also, before i finish that rather short post I just

wanted to say how much i love Nicola Roberts hair!

It is so chic & classic. She really suits and it its nice to see her embracing her pale skin. She seems to have come into her own as of late & she looks all the more confident for it.

Anyways ... make up look tomorrow hopefully & a haul soon as well.

Take care x

SINCE CHRISTMAS IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER (SCARY .. I KNOW!)

I THOUGHT I SHOULD PROBABLY HAVE A LOOK AROUND SOME OF THE SHOPS FOR AN OUTFIT TO WEAR TO MY WORKS NIGHT OUT.

THIS IS AN OUTFIT I THINK COULD LOOK REALLY AMAZING FOR A CHRISTMAS NIGHT OUT .....

Victoria Beckham!

How amazingly gorgeous is Victoria Beckham's hair?!

She has had it like this for a few weeks now but I was looking at a magazine and noticed how gorgeous it is.

She really really suits it and she looks amazing. It is very Audrey Hepburn-esque & is really cute & feminine. It is cut textured but this could easily be achieved with products such as wax.

I don't care what anyone has to say about Victoria Beckham, I think she is gorgeous & amazing and I just love her. Shes awesome although a little too skinny!

The pixie cut as been all over the catwalks for autumn/winter 08 and seen on the likes of Rihanna, Agyness Deyn and Sarah Harding. x

Love for the LBD

Everybody needs a perfect LBD in there wardrobe!

It is an essential that can be worn a millions time but made to look different with accessories, shoes, hair & make-up.

Some celebrities LBD ...

Penelope Cruz looks amazing in this fringed dress with a sparkly blazer over the top! I really love this dress.

Victoria Secrets model Miranda Kerr looks gorgeous in this black shift dress with rounded courts & a fasinator.

Best of the high street ....

This fringe dress is by Topshop and is very similair to Penelope Cruz' dress. It costs £38 but I would suggest getting one fast as they are selling like hot cakes!

This dress is from ASOS and is in the style of Eva Mendez. It is a gorgeous dress & would look great with some killer heels! This costs £38 and is avaliable in three colours x

Five Things I'm Loving Just Now

I decided to make a new monthly thing called 5 Things I'm Loving just now so here is Octobers!! Enjoy :D x

Numbero Uno ....

Rings! I don't know why but I'm loving big rings just now. They add something to an outfit I think. Topshop, Miss Selfridge & Oasis have some really nice ones at the moment!

.... Numbers Two!

Chloe Eau De Parfume! This isn't a new perfume but I really love it, I think it is probebly my all time favourite scent! It is really fresh and girly but it is a little pricey! Oh and I loveeeeee the vintage style bottle .. looks good on your dressing table!

Number Three...

Day dresses! tea dresses have been in fashion for a while now but i think they are so comfy. worn with tights, boots & a leather bomber you get a really nice, finished look. Plus it keeps you dry & warm during the winter! Topshop have some really nice ones as do H&M.

... Number Four

These grey shoe-boots from Topshop. They are really similar to Lily Allen's pink Louboutin but alot cheaper! They would look gorgeous with some black jeans or wear them like Lily with a skirt and some black tights.

Number Five ...

Mac Dollymix blush! I love this, it such a pretty colour. It is a pink with silver flicks in it & it is just gorgeous! It look great with winged liner & pinky lips. It is my new favourite blush. it is so easy to wear and is just stunning! It does look really scary in the pan but applied with a light hand it is really fresh & pretty!

Lily Allen's Shoes!

So I know my last post was about Lily Allen but I'm really loving her style just now & even more so her shoes!!













She has some gorgeous shoes, I think she wears alot of Christian Louboutin's because I have seen alot of pictures with the red soles on the shoes.













I loveeeee her pnik shoe-boots they are just gorgeous and I would kill for a pair of these bad boys!

Another pair of Lily's shoes that i loveeeee are the the black shoes she has on in this picture below.

I just love her shoes! She always seems to have gorgeous heels and she has made me want to get myself some new heels to wear during the day! Any excuse! x
