I have recently started selling new shades of MUA Lipsticks in my ebay shop, and so far I have only tried one lipstick in Tulip shade. Below are pictures to show how it looks on me, I personally like this shade for everyday soft looks, I feel that this shade out of the three new pink shades suits me best.

All three new shades:
I wore Tulip lipstick on two separate occasions, which you can have a look at below. These two images have some filters on so I have also included a third image with no filter to help more with understanding of the shade.

These new lipsticks are highly pigmented as usual, however like most affordable lipsticks they don't stay on for the whole day, nonetheless I love it.
OK, we still have over a month util Halloween, but it's never too early to try out some looks. Especially when there is a new shade in MUA range. MUA Lipstick in shade Raven will be the focus point of the look I will try to create.
But you really have to be good looking to pull this off! I will not even attempt to do it!
So for this look I chose to keep my face makeup to a minimum. I also used very pale makeup, I just felt that a pale face will look better scarier with this lipstick. I contoured a little bit using MUA Pro-Base Conceal and Brighten Kit with a blending wedge. Look at it in the video bellow:
Then I applied some E.L.F Translucent Powder and highlighted my cheekbones (just a little) with MUA Highlighter in Pink Shimmer.
So for the lips I decided to line it with MUA Brooding Plum Lip Liner. You can also see the process in the video:
And these are the pictures of the look:
I think in terms of scary this look was a success.. I actually quite like the look, but I found it very difficult to take a decent pic! I just look odd! Buttt I love this MUA Raven Lipstick, I'm definitely going to wear it for Halloween!

Today I had no desire or motivation to do anything but lay in bed.. I had so many things to do, that instead of getting on with it, I decided laying in my bed, doing nothing would solve everything.. crazy lazy I know. I think it may just be one of those days, but how am I supposed to get through it and end up making it a productive and fulfilled day. Well my first try was a quote on instagram for myself and my girls, this is it:

Lovely quote, but didn't help. Second try was comfort food, didn't help, made me even sleepier. Then caffeine... and voila! I dragged myself out of bed, and realised still no motivation.. damn, didn't quite work, but one step at a time.
So I decided to do what helped me through my five years of university, planning! There is nothing better than a checklist, you put down what you want to do, dedicate days or time slots for it, and do it! Putting a tick on a checklist is one of the most satisfying things on earth!
Ok, fair enough I didn't leave myself to do much for today, but at least I have a plan of how to get everything done in time.. and no excuses tomorrow. We do sometimes just need that one day to be lazy and grumpy! Today is that day for me!
The other day I was getting ready to go meet my girls (I must say I am one big party girl!) and I saw this wonderful video of "I'm Not The Only One"by Sam Smith:
And have you seen how beautiful Diana Agron looked? I loved the way her hair looked, so classy! So in my true style I tried to copy her! First of all I used my old buddies, Babyliss rollers (as shown below).
I had these for more than 5 years and used to love them! At the very top, I rolled all of the rollers in one direction so that when its out it would create one giant wave. The rest of my hair I pretty much jus put them in without giving it too much thought! Left them in for over 20 minutes and this is what I got when I took them out:
I loved the way it looked there! However 5 minutes, after touching it a few times (lets face it, its impossible to not touch your hair at all, or is that just me?) the curls became very loose and frizzy as you can see below:
And I think this is down to my rollers being way too old and not heating up enough anymore. But I still think the front curve was achieved quite well! Anyway, I went to see my friends with my hair like this and then during the evening I put it up similar to Diana Agron in the video. However that didn't go down too well with some guy in the restaurant, he said: "Please put your hair down, you look too old like this." What a great compliment ey...
So the moral of the story I need to get myself one of those fat barrel curling wands to try achieve new looks!
I cut my hair a few weeks ago! Very short! Shortest I had in a long time!
I'm sure everyone has seen lots of short haircuts in the streets and magazines.. I just had to get in on it and see what the fuss was about! And I love itttttttt <3
Here you go:
I went for a very straight cut which I love, but at the same time I'd love to try out this Taylor Swift haircut with a fringe, seems too awesome not to!
