Paris 2012: A Trip in Outfits!

Unfortunately I didn’t get many photos as my boyfriend is poo using a camera, but I’m going to share with you today the basics of what I wore in Paris! Everyday was the same makeup and practically the same shoes and accessories, just a different dress.

Dress is H! By Henry Holland from Debenhams.

Me: Take a picture of my outfit for my blog!
Craig: Um…Okay… *cuts head off"*

You see why I didn’t get many pictures! Haha!
This pretty polka dot number is from Dorothy Perkins.

The shoes I wore practically everyday are Miss KG (Kurt Geiger).

Disneyland was the only day I actually wore shorts and a tank top! Both of which are from Primark.

Birthday outfit! Dress & shoes from Tesco.

My everyday face consisted of:

Face
Benefit Porefessional, Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation 02, Mac Studio Finish Concealer NC15, MAC Mineralized Skin Finish Natural Light, Illamasqua Powder Foundation 105, NARS Laguna Bronzer, Benefit Thrrrob, ELF Gotta Glow.

Eyes
UDPP, UD Naked Palette (Virgin, Buck, Creep), UD 24/7 Pencil Liner in Zero, ELF Lengthening and Volumizing Waterproof Mascara.

Lips
Either Vaseline or ELF Matte Lip colour in Tea Rose.

As a beauty blogger I cant believe I didn't take any proper pictures of my makeup! Oops!

Which one of my dresses do you like the best?
Personally I love love the polka dot one and actually plan to wear it to my friends wedding this weekend. With bright bright makeup of course! That’s the last of my Paris related posts now you’ll probably be pleased to know haha! It was an amazing trip and I hope to be able to visit some more fabulous places next summer.

FOTD: Salazar’s Tiara with Sugarpill & Victorian Disco!

The past few days it’s been all about the glitter! I’ve not been able to resist every time I do my makeup! Silver especially has been getting alot of love. I use my Ben Nye glitter glue to apply it over a shadow making a look so much brighter! I’ve not managed to capture the glitter properly in these images, but I have another FOTD coming up in which I did manage to capture it! Yey!

Face
Inglot Under Makeup Base, Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation 02, Mac Studio Finish Concealer NC15, MAC Mineralized Skin Finish Natural Light, Illamasqua Powder Foundation 105, NARS Laguna Bronzer, Darling Girl Pixie Soft Focus Blush, ELF Gotta Glow.

Eyes
Urban Decay Primer Potion, NYX JEP in Milk, Sugarpill Tiara, Victorian Disco Salazar, Urban Decay Creep, Urban Decay Virgin, Victorian Disco Glitter Steady Aim, Rimmel Exaggerate Liquid Liner, Urban Decay 24/7 Pencil Liner in Zero, MUFE Smoky Lash, ELF Lengthening and Volumizing Waterproof Mascara, Fero Beauty Falsies in Natural Short.

Lips
Clinique Chubby Stick in Pudgy Peony, Sephora Lipgloss in Dazzling Violet.

I’m going to have to work on my full face pictures me thinks. The eye makeup never looks as good as it does in person and the backgrounds are way too distracting!
Also if you haven’t noticed from my Paris pictures, I’ve had my hair cut shorter and coloured the blonde to a shade close to my natural gingerness. Come on hair! You can grow! It’s the shortest my hair has ever been and was kinda scary at first but I've gotten used to it =]

Paris Purchases: French Skincare, Makeup ect!

Heya! A quick post to show you all what I bought for myself in Paris! Of course I had to get myself some French skincare and stop off at a Sephora! I don’t tend to buy makeup as much recently as I prefer shopping indie, but lip products and eyeliners will always be my weakness! Hello duty free!

Bioderma duel pack – 15.90euro
Nuxe Lipbalm – 6.90euro
Caudelie Beauty Elixer – 8.90euro
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Pack – 8.90euro

Clinique Chubby Stick in Pudgy Peony
Sephora Lipgloss in Dazzling Violet
Sephora Flashy Liner in Flashy Blue

Micky Mouse Keyring from Disneyland!
Eiffel Tower Necklace

I didn't get myself much in the way of “souvenirs” as my boyfriend got me some (see my birthday gifts post here)! So far I am loving the Bioderma for removing makeup and even just for wiping over my face when i wake up in the morning before my wash! The Clinique chubby stick is also getting alot of love.

Have you been sucked into the recent “french skincare” kick? What's your favourite French makeup or skincare brand?

Paris Photo Blog: A Few Snapshots!

So of course many of you know I went to Paris for 5 days this week as I haven't stopped banging on about it for ages! I want to share with you a few of my holiday snaps though. The trip was seriously amazing. I love Paris so much and getting to experience it again from a different point of view (last time I went it was for photography purposes) with my lovely boyfriend made for the best holiday and birthday ever.
We got to see all the highlights of the city as well as spending a day in Disneyland! I also went on a rollercoaster (BIG RIDE!) for the first time since I was a child!

All that walking around really took its toll on us. By the time we got home we were aching all over! I had such a good time though and the trip was everything i hoped it would be. Bring on the next city break!

Have you ever been to Paris? What’s your favourite area of the city?

My 21st Birthday in Paris & Gifts I Received!

Heya! I’m back from my trip to Paris boo! Seriously wish I lived over there, even though I suck at French. I’m not going to go into the trip here, but I am going to quickly share with you some gifts I got for my birthday on the 12th! Sorry about the instagramness! I took this picture on a crappy compact camera so it needed something to make it look even a little aesthetically pleasing!

My boyfriend got me presents while we were in Paris, including a mug, bracelet, photo frame, TNBC flipflops from Disneyland and the new DKNY Be Delicious Paris perfume! He’s also going to be taking me for a meal at some point also!
My sister got me the Taylor Swift perfume plus a dress which can be seen below while the rest of my family gave me money (for driving lessons from the parents).
The rest of the goodies my friends gave me! Yey for teapots and Paris themes!

[Baddy Sunburn!]

We spent the day at the Catacombs and walking around the Marais quarter while the evening entailed going up the Eiffel Tower and having a picnic underneath =] What could be better!
I had such an amazing time, the weather was gorgeous (even though i got sunburnt bah) and I got to spend it all with my darling <3
I have a little photo blog post coming up of my trip soon, plus one or two OOTD’s and a Paris “haul” (including French skincare)! Au Revoir.
