In The Ears

2011-03-27T08:41:00.000-07:00

Knockout - Lil Wanye & Nicki Minaj

Superbass - Nicki Minaj

Nothing new or exciting, but I've been listening to Pink Friday all week (along with Cee Lo Green's album, Lady Killer)

In other news... I brought a ring from H&M a few weeks ago, and I've literally worn it on the same finger since I've had it. So last night I decided to try it on another finger, and of course it got stuck. After my finger lost feeling and went purple, Dad had to get the metal clippers out and chop it off - boo :( - after 2 hours of me screaming and moaning it's now off. I have a very swollen finger which will hardly bend, a standard Sunday morning.

Hope you all enjoyed the sunny week we had, back to rain now waheey!

So last day of freedom today, I'm going to grab some cereal and tuck up in bed with Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte.

Have a lush day

End To The Weekend

2011-03-20T08:58:00.000-07:00

This weekend has been all about chainsaws, cars and the pub.

Not for me, for my other half.

It has been a dull weekend and I've spent most of it sitting in the car like a spoilt brat (ha).

But now I have the evening to myself, which means I can bang some posts out.

So today, I made my way to Boots - determined to find something to sort my skin out - and I had heard some good things about No7's Hot Cloth Cleanser so this was one of the first things I ran for.

I also purchased No7's Natural Blush in 20 Honey, it's a really subtle pink, almost a tan colour but looks really flattering when worn. I'm not really a huge blush fan - I'm too paranoid that I'll look like a hooker. But this one is nice!

...and lastly I got Neutrogena's Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Daily Scrub. I haven't heard anything about it & I'm starting a whole new skin routine tomorrow so I will let you know how I get on with this and the Hot Cloth Cleanser. However I can tell you it smells amaaaazing. Almost like those refreshers you eat as a kid. Yummy.

There is still as few more things I want to get, I really want a good brush cleanser and a nice eyebrow pencil, but I don't think £12.50 is reasonable for a pencil!? So it looks like a visit from the E.L.F fairy.

One other thing I have done is chop down a spare mascara wand - I've seen a lot of people have been doing this in light of Clinique's new bottom lash mascara & I thought it made so much sense so I did it myself!

And my god, it is so much easier! I wouldn't pay £10 when I've just done it for free - it's worth doing..

The No7 range isn't something I used to use at all, but now it's what I head for first! I had so many of the £5 vouchers and I've got some really good things out of it.. (Quick Cover Blemish Stick, Cleanse and Care Eye Makeup Remover and a Quad Eyeshadow Palette.) I have one voucher left - any recommendations on what to buy with it?

Hope you all had a lovely weekend! Back to work/school now...

Favourites

2011-03-17T04:39:00.000-07:00

I figured I should share with you lovely ladies some of my favourite products/items at the moment. Enjoy!

1. Soothing Eye Make Up Remover (Boots Botanics Range) - I have nearly run out and I'm gutted! Need to buy some more urgently! It's one of the only make up removers I've found that doesnt sting after use, and it smells a-ma-zing.

2. Bare Minerals Boxom Lips in Amber - A treat from my boyfriend when we went for a spa weekend, instant plump and tingles & such a flattering colour.

3. Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Liner - Long lasting liner, what more can I ask for!?

4. Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in 200 Soft Beige - Still looking for that flawless foundation, but this will do for now! Plus it hasn't gone that foundation-y smell to it which always makes me gag.

5. E45 Endless Moisture for Radiant Skin - Two words, Life. Saver.

6. Tresemme Instant Refresh Dry Shampoo - Perfect for those mornings where 3 alarms just isn't enough!

7. Clinique Moisture Surge - A free sample with Glamour's 10 year edition, I will most definetly be buying a big bottle when I'm done with this. 5 minutes and your skin is as smooth as a baby's behind.

8. £1 Earrings I picked up when I was getting a manicure last week, it was a tiny nail bar and only the one woman worked there and I sort of took pity and just brought them without properly checking them. But turns out they're lush!

9. Elephants I picked up whilst travelling in Sri Lanka - They're homemade from wood and cost me the equivalent of about 10p for both, the tsunami reminded me of them because obviously Sri Lanka suffered from a huge tsunami a few years ago.

10. No.7 Cleanse and Care Eye Make Up Remover - ONLY £2 WITH THE NO.7 £5 VOUCHER. Yes, bargain!

11. Volume Million Lashes in Black - You can't really have a favourites without a mascara ;) Still love this one, but not at all a fan of Maybelline One by One - the 'lash catcher' actually hurts.

In other news, my StayMatte powder has just gone crumbling into the carpet, boohoo :(

Have a nice day

Buh-Bye Roots

2011-03-16T15:01:00.000-07:00

I have needed to dye my hair for AGES.

It had gone a gingery brown and didn’t suit me in the slightest,

So I thought I’d do a nice easy before & after post…

BEFORE

AFTER

-insert sigh of relief-

I need a haircut so badly! The Frankie Sandford cut has grown out and is whisping round my neck day by day, growing it into a bob is taking for-ev-errrr.
(Hence the messy clipped up-do!)

Any suggestions on quick hair growth?

NB. PLEASE excuse the bad pictures, one was taken at 3am and the other.. well I don't really have an excuse! Just pure lazzzzzziiiiness.

In The Ears

2011-03-16T10:01:00.000-07:00

Alexis Jordan - Good Girl

Emily Osment - LoveSick

E.T - Katy Perry & Kanye West

So this week it's all about the girly pop!

I'm kind of fooling myself into thinking it's already Summer, we had about 3 days of sunshine here in Norfolk, and I was wearing the most summery clothes you can imagine, you would've thought you'd slipped and fallen into Southern France in the midst of July!

These songs are so bouncy, cheesy and easy to sing-a-long to, just my cup of tea! :)

So I've decided on a holiday! (I'm so impulsive). As both mine and my boyfriends birthdays have been this month we thought instead of getting each other extravagant gifts we would just use the money for a holiday in a couple of months. Were thinking Turkey, it's dirt cheap and boiling hot - can't ask for more!

Have any of you lovely ladies been to Turkey? I'm basically asking is it safe? ha.

Enjoy the songs, and enjoy your day.

Desk VS. Vanity

2011-03-16T04:21:00.000-07:00

One desk.

Two Ideas.

What Story Does Your Bedroom Tell?

I love my desk, it’s a gorgeous glass-topped pine wood table. But what should be on display here?

Should it be my laptop, diaries, books, and stationary? Or should it be my best friend – make up.

I’m a working woman, so I need my inner nerd to be only a reach away – but a working woman still needs to look her best right!?

After switching and changing for many weeks now, I have decided.

Make up can no longer be my soul mate.

[Cue violins]

Your bedroom can say so much about you, mine is filled with clothes, jewellery, scatter cushions, candles and as of late, make up. But I don’t want my first impression on someone to be ‘insecure teenage girl’ (we all know it’s not really what us make-up fanatics are… but that is the way of the world) so I have opted for the smart sophisticated WOMAN. The scatter cushions and candles can stay, but everything else needs to be out of the way of those judging eyes.

So hello bookworm, goodbye MAC.

What story does your boudoir tell?,

NB. This may sound like lots of people come into my bedroom, they DON’T. I just want a cleansed room for a fresh outlook on life, I can’t wear my make-up goggles anymore.

These Boots Are Made For Walking... All Over My Superstitions

2011-03-15T19:59:00.000-07:00

Who defines superstition?

Apparently 3 drains are unlucky if you walk across them, but in order to avoid them you have to face other obstacles.

For example; today I’m walking to the nail bar – naive little me – I come across 3 drains and I’ve always been told it’s unlucky to walk over these, so I avoided them by walking in the road. And I nearly got hit by a car. Not just any car. But the car containing an ex-boyfriend and his friends. And yes they beeped their bloody horn. I could still hear them laughing as I realised I had nearly been run down.

"Cringe" just doesn't cut it.

So boots, next time we’re walking all over those 3 drains.

On the other hand… Don’t my nails look nice?

I guess not walking over those drains meant I came home super cautious looking super chic.

We have had an unexcuseable long break from blogging,

Thank you so much to all of you lovely ladies who have hung on in there!

SO much has happened, but that is all to follow (very!) soon.

Keep smiling & enjoy the sunshine,

Now we're in the swing of getting more blogs out to you all, we felt as though we should share a few things with you, just a random selection of what is keeping us smiling at the moment <3

Memories

MAC Wonder woman collection (didn't want to do a whole post as everyone is!)

Give it to us nowwww!! Along with the Lady Gaga range, that would be peachy.

Our pets <3

Feeling lonely?

Grab your pets and cuddle up in bed with them.

This programme has been on TV before, but there's a brand new series now. It's fascinating watching someone elses way of life. But although travellers have this image about themselves, watching this programme just changed it all 100% for me. There are so many strict rules within their community (no sex or alcohol before marriage, young girls can't leave the house unaccompanied, not allowed a job) but they obey them all, and when asked they said they wouldn't change a thing about their lives - it left me thinking, they're so happy with their restricted lives but then a typical young english girl is as free as a bird but is always trying to rebel. This is what I hate about England - there's always something people can find to complain about "it's too sunny, it's too cold, it's too dry, it's too wet" I'm just sick of it - take me away, LA/Australia wherever you fancy! OR JUST LET ME BE A TRAVELLER SO I CAN HAVE AN AMAZING DRESS!

E.L.F Haul & Some New Products

2011-01-15T17:45:00.000-08:00

Before you start reading this, the pictures are poor quality as I was in a mad rush to take them before I went to work. I don't even know why I decided to chose that time in which to do it. Duuur!

So please accept our apology :)

So after watching countless Youtube videos of AMAZING make up collections mine looked slightly pathetic, to say the least. This spurred me on to finally do my first E.L.F purchase.

It arrived quickly, they even text me when it was dispatched which I found great. I've always thought E.L.F has come across as a real hit or miss, so this is to let you lovely ladies know how I'm getting on!

My order:

Blush (Innocence, Shy, Coy)

Hypershine Lip Gloss (Vixen, Flirt, Honey)

Lipstick (Classy, Posh)

Concealer (Light Beige)

Nail Polish (Mint Green)

32 Piece Eye Palette

Everything was neatly packaged and in great condition, except this:

(Classy)

It literally made me gag - the lipstick had quite obviously been used, then snapped & came complete with a nice long thick hair! I know it was cheap, but COME ON. It was sealed within all of the plastic, the same as the other products so god knows when it could've happened!

Is it even worth me getting my £3 back?!

Apart from this - the other products are good.

Blush

(Innocence, Shy, Coy)

The blushers are in awkward packaging, a slide mechanism that had me scratching my head for a moment. They're fairly powdery & loose when applied, but as I've said before, they weren't expensive so I can't be too unhappy about it! Despite this, they do look nice when applied.

32 Piece Eye Palette

I was very impressed with the 32 piece palette, some colours really jumped out at me, there's a gorgeous gold shade which I can't wait to team up with MAC Gold Reflects!

Lip gloss

(L'Oreal Glam Shine Sheer Cassis, L'Oreal Glam Shine Oriental Fuchsia, Vixen, Flirt, Honey, MAC Dazzleglass Bare Necessity, MAC Dazzleglass Sugarrimmed)

The E.L.F lip glosses are okay, they're very simple so the colours don't seem to stay around for long once applied, also, I find them quite sticky which is never a nice feeling.

The L'Oreal Glam Shine lip glosses are great, the colour just pops! I would recommend buying yourself one of these because they have such a nice feel to them when applied & the heart shaped wand gives great coverage and makes it easier to avoid any mess.

MAC Dazzleglass, well I think you can all predict that I'll rate them highest - it just proves, you get what you pay for!

Lipstick

(Posh, MAC Pink Friday LE, Rimmel Lasting Finish Nude Pink)

The other lipstick purchased from E.L.F is really nice! The only thing I don't like is the packaging. You know when you're young and you get given those £2 lipsticks for Halloween or whatever and they smell and feel like a toy - well that's how I felt about this lipstick, until I applied it and it looked really nice. The colour seems to stay put for a while!

I'm loving lipstick these days, I can't get enough! Which is why I just HAD to have the MAC LE Pink Friday lipstick, you can see where I've swatched how bold it is, it's a really opaque pink & it's by Nicki Minaj so I can't complain!

The Rimmel lipstick isn't really a new purchase, I just forgot how complimenting it is on your lips.

Nail Polish

(Mint Green)

This product didn't impress me at all. This picture was taken after a base coat and 3 actual coats. However the colour is nice once it's been caked on, so I will be wearing it again - just when I have a lot of spare time!

So to conclude, E.L.F was a disappointment - give me MAC any day.

Have any of you had similar experiences with E.L.F? Or am I being stuck up and sensitive to the fact it was so cheap?

Project 365

2011-01-15T04:57:00.000-08:00

One of our New Years resolutions was to take a picture every day for a year, we've seen this on other blogs and decided we want to be able to look back on 2011 and have a trigger for our memories. For example the picture above is one of the few we have together from our holiday to Corfu last year :(

This is why we've added a new page at the top to share our pictures with you across the year.

Sorry we haven't been blogging! Had a very busy few weeks (mostly partying) but we will get pictures up and reviews written in no time.

Enjoy your week!

So it's our first post of 2011, as late as it may be, we thought we would kick it off with an unoriginal cheesy new years resolution type post!

A few things we would both like to do this year are:

- Go on another holiday together!

- Get our blog up and running regularly for all our lovely followers.

- Start making youtube videos.

- Get full time steady jobs.

- Shop more, party more and have fun all the time!

Things Alexandra would like to do this year:

- Get to a weight that means I can wear a bikini on holiday without scaring lot's of people ;)

- Start college and actually complete it.

- Don't let silly things make me so angry/upset.

Things Harriet would like to do this year: 

- Move out.

- Convince my dad to carry on paying my phone contract.

- To become more socially flexible.

Not the nicest picture in the world,  but we want plenty more nights like this, this year!

Fashion fix - Karen Karmody

2010-12-17T04:18:00.000-08:00

Hey ladies!

Recently the well loved website ASOS have added 'Marketplace' This is where anyone can sign up for free and sell anything fashion related. When you view an item you can choose to 'Love this' the more times it's loved the higher it goes in the listings. I personally think it's a great idea and the reason we are posting this is to ask if you guys could do us a favour! A very good friend of ours, Karen Karmody, is a fashion designer she has her own website here where you can purchase her dresses but has also put a dress on Marketplace to see how it goes on there, it's a beautiful long black sequin dress, perfect for this party season! We would really appreciate it if you could 'Love this' here and get her dress as noticed as possible. All of their dresses are handmade and 9/10 are completely individual. They are based in London, so us English girls need to get behind them and support some amazing local talent! As I said any support towards them would be very much appreciated!

We are fast approaching the end of the year, and keeping our spirits high when it's this cold is not the easiest thing in the world, especially when we're all feeling ill!

(pictures courtesy of weheartit)

Going on holiday is keeping a smile on altbeauty's face at the moment, we keep reminiscing about our Summer 2010 holiday to Corfu and we think a bit of sun would go down a treat right about now! We're thinking of returning to Corfu again next year, just need to save a bit of our hard earned cash! Pfft!

Christmas is nearly hereeee!! We can't believe how quickly it's come around this time, wasn't it only last week we were shouting about New Year?! Anyway, we've been Christmas shopping, spending a fortune and wearing our little legs out - treating ourselves as well of course ;) but now we just want the day to be here so we can spend it in our pyjamas with a huge roast dinner and the people we love.

Nandos, oh Nandos. Once upon a time the girls from altbeauty went to Nando's for lunch, we were in a hurry as we each had an interview with Hollister (Ha!) so we ordered our food quickly and waited... Next thing we knew the fire alarm was going off and we were standing in the rain! As we were let back in after 20 minutes it took them another hour to fire up the grills (we would order the food that took longest...) and we missed our interviews. BUT we did get free pitta bread, humous, mixed peppers, two meals, four sides and two drinks SO we can't complain! We have some Nando's chicken cheques to get spending! Yummy!

A trip to Ikea in November left us with hundreds (literally) of candles between us, so we've now been closing the curtains nice and early, lighting a candle and watching TV in bed whether it's with each other of partners.

Barry M nail polishes, still got to love them! We've been letting our natural nails breath recently so they've been looking a bit pathetic, luckily we have Barry M spilling out of our drawers!

How are our lovely followers this week?

We've been trying to read all of your blogs, and this one was inspired by Laura, if you would like to read about her Five Things click here.

We hope to see you all on our Twitter page!

What's on our wishlist this Christmas?

2010-12-02T04:44:00.000-08:00

As girls, our wishlist is always long and detailed, so we've broken it down into what we NEED to get our hands on!

First Up Comes 'essie Mambo'

A gorgeous nude colour from essie, this little ray of summer is something us girls need on our nails to keep those winter blues at bay! I came across this beauty after being linked on to the WAH-nails website, check those girls out they are incredible. But this is a polish they often use and it has such a pristine finish - which is why it is so high on our Christmas list!

Next In Line, Tattoo Cover Ups

Now some best friends get matching braclets, some may have the same top, however both of us at altbeauty have the same tattoo, it's a dainty pink heart outline on our shoulders. Now we've had time for our stupid idea to sink in we'd like to have them covered up! Ideas are all over our heads, Alexandra has ideas of incorporating a guardian angel with ivy to represent her late grandma, perhaps with a rose or scroll also. Whereas Harriet has ideas of a transcript between her shoulders however words and fonts are no where near decided! But we would like to keep them connected to one another, suggestions are appreciated ladies! Altbeauty is in love with tattoos, which is why we would like them around Christmas as a little treat to ourselves.

Pre-Taped Hair Extensions

Cheap, Reliable, Long-lasting, Amazing... any other reasons needed?

These hair extensions are pre-taped (hence the name), the idea is you sandwich them in with your natural hair. They are said to last up to 3 months when installed properly and the top of each weft has a scalp like appearance to help blend in. Both of us would love longer hair, one of us has mid length where as the other has hair roughly 2 inches long! So once we've (probably struggled) to get these in our hair we'll review them and let you gals know if they're worth it! Coming in at £49 for 24 wefts from Heavenly Hair Supplies, it won't be long 'til weve got them!

SIMON FROM MISFITS

ahem...

Michael Kors Glitz Acrylic Chronograph. In Black.

These watches are all over the place at the moment, anybody who is anybody has one. Wether you want the £5 ones sold in the mall or the expensive bad boy - we can guarantee that they complete any look.

This Michael Kors chronograph in particular is gorgeous, look at the detail, the diamantes, the clock hands. So if you're looking at buying a statement watch then look no further, for $211 you can have this clinging to your wrist for years and years. A great price, or great present ey ey Santa ;).

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation

Every beauty blogger/youtuber knows about this foundation. It's been top rated ever since it was released and every girl dreams to have this added to their collection. This is on our Christmas list, we think that it's the novelty of it being a present which makes it so exciting, if you buy it yourself it's just another make up item youve purchased. If someone goes out and gets it for you it's all that more precious! Mummy, we want this :-)

Let us know what you're wishing for!

A competition from altbeauty may make it that more realistic!

Nail loving - Party Hearty

2010-11-30T04:21:00.000-08:00

Hey guys!

Something we picked up recently and have been loving is China Glaze's Party Hearty set, It contains 3 nail polishes.

Phat Santa - A deep red creme nail enamel.

Party Hearty - A green and red glitter in a clear base nail enamel.

Jolly Holly - A festive deep green creme nail enamel.

The winner of the bunch, which is probably no surprise as it is the talk of the beauty town these days, is by far Party Hearty, it's so incredibly pretty and if you don't already have this then you need it! It doesn't come out as glittery compared to the bottle and is best worn over another nail polish, I prefer Jolly Holly, but it's the perfect Christmas colour! I feel soooo Christmasy when i have this on my nails and will definitely get its fair wear over the next month or so. A very close second place goes to Jolly Holly it's the most beautiful green you will probably come across this season, If you are looking for a Christmas colour I would definitely suggest picking up this one! Phat Santa is a nice deep red but nothing I haven't seen before, I probably wouldn't buy this separately but a girl can never have too much red nail polish so it's a nice bonus!

We picked up ours on eBay for just £12.95. I'm sure there are many places you can get this online but we found eBay cheap, very quick and we got free p&p. Click here to go the eBayer we bought ours from.

What festive nail polishes are you loving?

Hey guys!

This blog is for anyone that loves beauty, fashion, piercings and tattoos and anything pretty and glittery! It is run by two best friends Alexandra & Harriet who wanted an outlet for there wild and creative ideas. We also have a youtube channel coming, and a twitter account that will be set up soon. Things should get into motion very soon and we would both very much appreciate some support.
