Let Them Eat Cake...

This is a completely beauty non related post, but I wanted to show you a few pictures of my other love, baking!

I get my decorations from Blue Ribbon, they offer a gorgeous range of decorations at such a reasonable price!

 

Challenge: 1920's Flapper

I was challenged by Nic from The War Paint Guru to do a 1920's flapper look, now I've already done a flapper look but I knew what I wanted to do as soon as I saw her suggestion. I tried to encorporate the art deco side of the 1920's into the lip and I really wanted to hang black string from my eye for the flapper skirts but of course we didn't own any that was thin enough!

 

a few of my favourite eyelashes

when it comes to false eyelashes, i think i'm a bit of a cheapskate, i can never spend over £5 on a pair, even if they are worth more. but over the past few months i have accumualted quite a few, all varing in shapes, sizes and colours, half of which have never been used! i really think that false eyelashes can finish off your eye makeup and turn it into that something extra.

eylure - strut false eyelashes

if you read my blog, you'll know that i'm a massive peacock feather fan, so when i picked these up from topshop for £5 reduced from £12 i was very excited! unfortunatley they are very delicate, and due to my large clumsy hands they are not in their most presentable state, however i just think they are so unique and great to have in my collection! if you want to see my peacock look, then click here!

these eyelashes are most probably my most purchased, simply because they are dramatic enough to give the eye that extra drama but they don't take over, i find that they are very easy to keep clean and i get many uses out of them! i believe they were £4.50, and i don't remeber the name, sorry!

eylure - nicola lashes

the most wearable in todays selection! i wore these to prom and i'm so happy i did, they are reasonably natural looking but give your eyelashes that fullness you can never get with a mascara, they are basically eyelashes at their very best or even better! i don't like the normal eylure lashes, i just find them very unispiring and boring, but their collections are so much better! if you want to see this petal look, then click here!

what i love about these falsies are that they are really wispy and feel very light on your eyes, the eyelashes aren't dramatically long, but they are very full. the only thing i didn't like about these is that they are an off-black, almost brown colour and that they were quite hard to keep clean!

the golden glittered glamourous goddess

this look is a recreation of an illamasqua invention that i eyed up on their blog, it is absolutely gorgeous and since i had to bring the glitter back i thought i should bring it back in true style! no i know mine is not as nearly as good as illamasquas but, i'm not professional and they are so it's a very big difference in abilities!
