Swedish Girl Hair



Sorry for not posting as of recent but I have been ultra busy finishing all my essays for my second year of uni and now they are all done yay !!
Can't believe I am nearly a third year student, it's so scary.
And with only 2 exams to go at the end of this month I have plenty of time to catch up on blogging, yay for you !!

So I was inspired by Nicole Richie, my favourite fashionista and her GORGEOUS hair,

Now unfortunately I am not blessed with thick long hair, so I had to adjust this style so it would actually suit me.
I tried to make the back pretty but it simply didn't work, boo hoo !

So anyway, what I did to achieve my look was split my hair first of all into two sections, dividing it symmetrically down the back of my head from my parting.

Next I took a thin comb and split my hair from the top of my ear upwards at a slight angle to get the hair that would come before the wrap around plaits, and I did this on both sides of my head. Then I tied this up so it would not get in the way.

The final two sections left at the bottom I put into plaits which made me look very much like Lolita haha, and tied these with little rubber bands which are £1 for a pack of about 100 from Primark.

After doing this I let my two front sections down and brought the plaits up to make a sort of headband and secured with bobby pins, when securing I tried to hide the rubber bands (unfortunately mine were white and very noticeable) underneath the opposite plait.
And ta-daaaaa !



P.S. Starting up my jewellery line again VERY VERY soon, just waiting for all my crafts to come so I can begin hand-making some beauties again, so keep your eyes peeled :)

Lana Del Rey make up


So recently, well since I've actually been able to put eye make up on again (I had conjunctivitis), I've become obsessed literally with watching make up tutorials.
So last night I was up till about 2 watching another of my favourite make up tutorial vloggers, I have many, Pixi2woo, whose channel can be found here [pixi2woo]

There are so many looks I want to try from her collection, so today I decided to give one a go myself, and chose the Lana Del Rey inspired look.




As I am not made of money (oh how I wish I was) I had to use cheaper products than the mac make up she is fortunate enough to have !!
These are the products I used:

  • Rimmel lasting finish foundation in shade 200 Soft Beige
  • Sleek brow kit in Light #817
  • MUA eyeshadow in Shade 1 - Pearl
  • Urban Decay eyeshadow in Stray Dog
  • Rimmel eyeshadow in a dark brown, sorry it's from a palette so i'm unsure of the colour
  • A lilac eyeshadow from the Marks & Spencers perfection palette
  • Urban Decay eyeshadow in Oil Slick
  • Rimmel Scandeleyes mascara in Black
  • MUA eyeliner in Snow White
  • Maybelline gel eyeliner in Black
  • Bourjous mineral radiance powder in 02 Vanille
  • A similar shade of light brown blush Tanya uses in the video from the M&S palette
  • Rimmel match perfection concealer in 010 Ivory
  • Rimmel lasting finish lipstick in 250 Birthday Suit
This is look I ended up with is in the pictures below, I personally think they're very similar, however the eyeshadows I used are not as matte as the ones Tanya uses in her video but I love a bit of shimmer !!



Yes my t-shirt does say 'Mrs Prince Harry' I love the Royals, ahhaha !!
Anyway, have a lovely day, it's snowing finely in Liverpool hope it's not snowing where you are (well unless you like snow, I hate the stuff).
