[LIPS] Temporary Lip Tattoos by Violent Lips

I was browsing around Topshop and saw this in the make up section. These are really interesting. In each packet, there are 3 applications. Each application lasting around 8 hours. Impressive! The price range is £12 - £14. These are the ones I saw online:

Then I decided to look at the brand Violent Lips. The have a lot of designs to suit any mood, theme, holiday etc. Have both matte and glitter tattoos. Here is a video of how to apply and remove the temporary tattoos:


To me, they just look like the same as body temporary tattoos. What do you think of them? Would you wear them?

[HAIR] Want to Dye Your Hair But Not Sure What Colour?

Have there been times where you don't know what colour you want to dye you're hair or whether if a particular colour will suit you or not? There's a website that allows you to try the colours! It contains all the hottest colours. Nothing extreme like pink, blue, green. Just the typical blonde, brown and black colours. The downside of this is that some of the colour and colour descriptions don't really match.

I've been playing with this and it's so much fun! Here are my results:
Original:

L: Platinum, R: Vanilla Blonde

L: Golden Blonde, R: Ash Blonde

L: Strawberry Blonde, R: Red

L: Copper, R: Auburn

L: Mahogany, R: Ash Brown

L: Golden Brown, R: Reddish Brown

L: Darkest Brown, R: Black

Have fun!

[HAUL] What Do You Get When You Cross a Panda with Pajamas?

PANDA ONESIE! :). Lame joke however I want to share my latest purchase with you. Bought it from Primark for £12. It's so soft and warm and is such a great clothing piece to wear during the cold winter day. Primark has loads of other onesies such as monkey, tiger, cat etc.

Doesn't look like a panda:

With the hood up, HELLO PANDA:

[REVIEW + GIVEAWAY] Sigma Buffer Brush - F45

I have received this from Sigma back in August and have used it for over a month now so I can so a review of it.

It came in a cute packaging:

Sigma Buffer Brush - F45 
Bristle Lasting: ♥♥♥♥♥
Quality: ♥♥♥♥♥
Packaging: ♥♥♥♥♥
Price: ♥♥♥♥♥
Overall Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥
Review: My first thought of this was how soft it felt to touch! I keep running my fingers through it because it's that soft and I love the feeling of it. To be honest, I'm doing it now while typing this review! Lol. The bristles are natural bristle therefore giving the soft feel to it and it didn't irritate my skin which I am currently having a breakout at the moment. It is still soft after washing it. Also picks up a lot of product from one dab of pressed powder. It also does what its intended to do, buffer. The bristles are dense enough to to blend out the powder giving a smooth feel and a soft, even, natural look.

With the soft bristles, it is a versitile brush. Other than pressed powders, you can you it for mineral foundation, loose powder, bronzer, blushers. I have used this for the pressed powder, bronzer and blusher, and must I say, I look flawless! Using it for the bronzer and blush, I look a lot more natural as compared to using my Bourjois Kabuki brush which isn't as soft and requires more than one dab of the product. This brush is also compact as it is just under 3 inches so it won't take much room in your bag for on the go top up.

The down side is that when it arrived, it had shed a little. Sometimes when I use it, one bristle sheds. This isn't often. However, it is great alternative to the higher end brushes like MAC.

GIVEAWAY TIME!

Went out on Wednesday for a friends 21st birthday. This was my FOTN:

Sorry that it may look like a scary picture of me. Was drunk and this was taken when I got back. Also think I've lost weight around my face too.

This is a better view of the neon paint where this girl at the club painted on my face. I asked for pink and orange of any design.

EOTN:

Just went for a simple natural, lazy smokey eye as the main look is the neon paint which glows under UV light.

[DESIGN + OOTN] Pink, Female and a Superhero

Go go power ranger! Lol. I made the costume for a fancy dress outing which was last night. Had bought a plain pink t-shirt, a large white t-shirt and a pink ribbed bandage skirt. To make this, I had cut up the white t-shirt and sewed it onto the pink shirt. Cut a thin white strip and sewed it onto the bottom of the skirt. Then I had a problem of what to do with a belt. Decided to used one of my fabric belts and sewed on white fabric. Cut out cardboard for the buckle and wrote on it rather than draw all the little details. With the skirt and belt, I am able to undo the stitches and keep wearing them for the future.

This is how I wore it last night:

Might morphin power ranger!

Have you made your own costume?

[DESIGN + OOTD] Society T-Shirts

Just want to share a polo shirt that I had designed for my society and had got them customised for each committee member. I had posted the pictures on my personal blog:

This was Wenesday's OOTD since I had to wear the polo shirt for our first event:

Royal blue FECX polo shirt
Grey hotpants from Republic
Suspender tights from New Look
Black bow pumps

Happy October! :)
