Perfume bottles to pretty dresses...

Good evening chums!! Tonight I've just been doodling and watching films in my room (I found my labyrinth DVD, lol!!), and I doodled up some pretty dresses, inspired by some fancy perfume bottles...

Review: 17 Miracle Matte Foundation

I bought this foundation after running out of my previous bottle of the Rimmel lasting finish 25 hour one, which I thought was great, therefore I was rather hesitant about buying this new foundation, of which I didn't know anything about and had not read any reviews about it!

First of all, priced at £5.99, I found this product very affordable, and the packaging is totes adorable!!  

I struggle to find a foundation that leaves my face shine-free, and lasts all day, and this product did exactly what it says on the tin (please excuse that cheesy sentence)! I have combination skin, and I don't really have time to 'retouch' my makeup during the day, so I was very pleased to find that  when wearing this foundation, I didn't need to! I wear Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Pink Blossom over it, which I think really 'completes' that matte finish.

 

The actual foundation itself is very thick, and must be applied very quickly to avoid it from drying up. I have it in the shade 'fair', which matches my skin tone perfectly! It gave my face an even and blemish-free finish, which lasted all day, which was totally awesome!!

 

Overall, I would recommend that one should try this foundation for themselves, and try not to be put off the product after reading negative reviews. I myself think that this foundation is good, but am not sure if I will repurchase it in the future.

 

You can buy it here.

 





Get the Brigitte Bardot look

Today I am showing you what makeup I would use if I wanted to achieve a 'Brigitte Bardot' look.If you are not familiar with Ms Bardot, she is best known as a  French actress and starred in many films in the 1950s and 60s. I would definately consider her as a style icon!Here is some insipirational pics that may help....

           

I think getting the eyeliner right is very important when doing this look, as I believe that she was rarely seen without those legendary cat eyes!! I would  also go for a flawless finish, and a nude lip. I would also use a translusant face powder, or one with pink undertones, which would probably have been worn at the time. If you are lucky enough to have blonde hair, I would do the eyebrows a couple of shades darker, but please steer clear of that thick, heavy 'Scouse Brow' look, keep it dark, but still natural!

 

Below here are the products I would use to get Brigitte Bardot's look.....

1960s makeup

Hello!I must apolagise for my lack of blogging this week, as something funny was going on with the internet. Nothing really excitng has happened recently, except that I now possess a LOMOGRAPHY DIANA camera...... YEAH BABY!! I can't wait to share with you everything I snap up on it, it's gonna be awsome!!! :D
I suppose that there isn't much of a purpose for this post, but it's just to let you know that I'm still here, and haven't abandoned apple scruffs!! I'm also hoping to start posting more photographs of what I'm getting up to, which I hope you'll enjoy! Also, be prepared for another blog make-over, I quite fancy a bit more professional look!

Tomake this post a wee bit more exciting, I'll leave you with some cool hair and makeup tuts that I've recently found!

OMG I really wish I looked like Pattie Boyd!

Possibly the cutest make-up I have ever seen!!

If you've not yet discovered the amazing new make-up collection by Louise Gray at Topshop, you really must!! The entire collection looks absolutely beautiful, and it's one of those things that you just want one of everything!! I even let out a little squeal (which must have looked rather sad) when I first saw it all in the shop!! I've not actually tried any of the products but they do look good on the quality side, and they look so pretty, so I am definitely saving up for some!!!
