River Island Jean swap!

Hiya lovelies!



I wanted to let you all know about an event that took place last week outside Liverpool's River Island store for the charity, Fashion Targets Breast Cancer.

Over 150 locals were willing to drop their old jeans or trousers in the street and walked away wearing a fantastic, brand new pair of River Island jeans, with the stunt organised to celebrate River Island’s Denim Week which launched on the 11th March.

Those who took part in the swap were encouraged to donate their old jeans to Fashion Targets Breast Cancer, and over 112 items were collected for the charity on the day.

They filmed a video of the event taking place, so you get to see a lot of people stripping in the street, bootylicious! ha.

I however, didn't get my booty out!

So get yourself to River Island and treat yourself to a new pair of jeans! :)

Enjoy!

Hello lovelies

Little update from me, just letting you all know that i'm still alive!

Sorry i haven't posted in a while, I've been quite busy.

I will be doing my best to post more within the next week.

I've got a few things to blog about, so keep your eyes open.

You should also run out to the shop NOW and get your hands on Glamour magazine which is only £2(if you haven't already) There giving away a free Clinique gift- 10 to collect, together worth £80! I got my hands on the High impact lip colour SPF15- apparently its shade Rosette, but it's definitely not, still a beautiful colour though.



Hope your all well!

New shoes!

I was unsure of these style of shoes when they first came out, but they have grown on me over time, then i found these bad boys and i fell in love! :)

They are so comfy too! The wedge may make you think differently but it seriously feels like my feet are fitted into cushions. :)

I think they bring a funky look!



Great with skinny jeans, leggings, long vest tops, shorts and skirts. Anything really!

I got them from New Look and they were £35.

What you think?

I'm on the Mixmag Fashion Website!

Hope your all having a great day!

Okay so, i attended a club event known as Circus, which was @ The Masque in Liverpool, on the 29/1/11.

I was approached by a lovely lady who said "Hiya, i'm from Mixmag! We like your look, can we take your photo and take some details"

I was like "YEAH sure!" :D



It made my day! Especially because i had one of those nights were i felt a bit crappy due to not having a new outfit to play out in! So i had a play around with some old clothes in my wardrobe and look what happens! Haha. So ladies & gents if your feeling like your having a 'not so sexy night' just remember you never know who's looking or gonna approach you! :)

I'm in the Top 3 (on the right)

Eat, Pray, Love

Hello Beautifuls!

Did we all have a nice Valentines Day? What did you get up to?

I spent it in bed watching Eat, Pray, Love. With a box of Maltesers and a cup of tea. :)



This film is so inspiring! It's making me want to travel even more (Want to go to Italy so bad!) and to learn more about myself. Ah! Self discovery!

Not to mention these two gorgeous men starring in the film...

Beauty & The Beast

Nope i'm not talking about the Disney classic. Sorry!

I'm talking about Channel 4's recent series known as 'Beauty & The Beast: Ugly face of prejudice' If you haven't been watching this then i highly recommend you go onto the Channel 4oD player to catch up on it.

This series investigates the extremes of discrimination. Each episode brings together two people often defined by the way they look: one has a facial disfigurement, the other an intense preoccupation with their appearance.







It will make you think differently about appearance, beauty, self confidence and a whole lot more.

Basically both persons get an insight of each others lives and how they deal with their appearance and self confidence, to learn about different views, ways of thinking and how to accept yourself.

When i was watching this i sympathised for both; the person with the facial disfigurement and the one who's preoccupied with their appearance.

And here's why...

The person with the Facial Disfigurement:
It makes you think how awful it must be to get stares and nasty comments every day of your life. Knowing your going to look that way until your gone and you can have as many operations as you like but it won't change much. These people have amazing personalities and are no different to you and i. It's really inspiring to see how they've accepted themselves and have built their confidence back up. It also makes you appreciate what you've got a million times more!

The person who's occupied with their appearance:
Well I'm someone who's apart of the beauty world, i write this blog, I'm a qualified Make Up Artist, i have an obsession for cosmetics and i also have a lot of insecurities about my image.
Yes, we all have our insecurities, some a lot more than others when it comes to image.
I don't like:
*That i suffer with bad skin, i have acne, scarring, blackheads, large pores and an unhealthy complexion.
*My big nose.
*Having small breasts.
*Not being happy with my figure.
I've had weight problems, i got bullied when i was young and in the past I've had myself in some really bad depressed states over my image.

And that's me being really honest with you there, a lot of you maybe wouldn't have guessed that i felt that way, but from time to time i do get down about my image.
But overtime i'm learning how to love and accept myself.
Basically i'm saying your not alone if your insecure about your image, you probably have a lot of people in your life that you think look perfect, but they probably have more insecurities than you do!

My point is, i'm not going to stop using cosmetics or anything like that and i'm not saying you should either. Things like cosmetics help us build our confidence and when were feeling confident we feel great in ourselves and one day, maybe soon we'll be more confident to not have to resort to as many products/things we do/use to make us feel that way. And on a day when you do feel really low about yourself or you look in the mirror and just think "Eugh" remind yourself that their people out there in the world who have facial disfigurements who have accepted themselves, have confidence and are beautiful people! When you remind yourself this, appreciate what you've got and tell yourself your beautiful! Because you are and we all are.
Real beauty truly does come from the inside. :)

"Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical."

I hope it inspires you too.
Much love
