Coquettishly Yours

Well,

2011-04-14T13:33:00.000-07:00

seen as I am awful at posting on here, mainly because I can't upload images from my iPad and my laptop is like using dial up it's so slow I'm linking to my tumblr not that I have any followers but incase any stumbled across this and felt nosy. So au revoir this will be my last post.

Deep Blue.

And once you fall you know.
I don't still feel that which they say you will forever.
I felt it a few times, it faded.
I feel it now, strong.
I hope it doesn't ebb away this time.
I want this to be it.

You left long before.

2011-01-27T11:24:00.000-08:00

Gone, and I don't know how I feel.
Gone, and I don't know what to cry for.
Gone, and I wish I xould say anything.
Gone, but you were already gone before.
You're gone.

Crank.

It's the people who stop you on the street asking for change.
Those on the bus who smells like piss and dribble into their beards.
The homeless man on the street who preaches suicide, but is still always there.
The drunks that wear the same clothes, week in, week out.
The old folk who leave their homes purely to talk to someone.
These are the people thatmake you look,
they have each other, and no-one.
Sometimes I feel the same.
Sometimes I feel like one of them.

Sleepless dreaming.

2011-01-27T11:19:00.000-08:00

My sleep patterns,
I toss,
I turn,
my sleep rarely coms.
I chew my nails,
I rub the folds of bedding between my fingers,
I ponder,
I worry,
I suffer,
I think of you, and nothing becomes clear.

The cornor of the room.

2011-01-27T11:14:00.000-08:00

That time again,
the birds cease to sing,
though their lover's songs never touched me.
The cold draws in,
though I never felt summer's rays.
Gathered, with faces I see and forget why,
I never understood how to be content.
Yet you arehere,
Everyone is here,
and I still feel alone.

Alittle linkage for ya asses!

My new favourtie nail varnish by Jessica, it's a dark dark green and looks black in low light, yum.

Also I love cliniques new mascara, it is great for long seperate lashes.

I go snowboarding in February and am rather distressed by the fact most days I go out I am going to end up having my make up running off my face from all the physical exercise, any one with good tips besides hairspray would be welcomed!

I also am annoyed at my iPad, don't get me wrong it's a gpace little piece of kit, but it doesn't allow me to upload photo's from it, anyone bypassed this yet? It is becoming a pain when I want to blog a picture and have to transfer the photo from the iPad to laptop to upload!!! Sort it out Mr.Jobs!

peace&love xoxo

MAC Digi-Dazzle Orgazzzm.

Okay so I love a new lipstick, but it is common knowledge that I pretty much have every shade of pink, red, orange, purple and neutrals going, aswell as a few more crayon drawer colours, and I must admit when I walk by MAC now my heart sinks alittle.
Before I would walk by and crave to buy a new lipstick, a new deep red, a new candied coral or maybe a eye popping pink, this used to happen with the eyeshadows too, until recently where my fancy has not been tickled then the other day I walked by and MAC-GASM'D. The new digi-dazzle lipsticks are b...you..tiful, they take me back to my childhood when my polly pocket came with a free glitter covered lipstick. True once you used it once you looked like a disco ball and the glitter all wiped off but these little beauties last and shine and sparkle like the Queens crown jewel's. So how could I ever have doubted MAC, I should have known they were bringing out some new lust-worthy products to tempt and please my soul.

Also check out the Digi-Pops eye palette with such sexual colours like golden rod, parfait amour, deep truth and of course a make up bag staple wedge.

You May...

Or may not, probably not noticed I never did the last 2 MAC looks mainly because I had contact issues, then eye infecdtions bleh! So now I just don't have the time like I did before to do them. So it may also be awhile until I blog more. In the meantime go buy some of the new Topshop Make Up, the blushers are ace and come in some lust-worthy colours! Sweet Slap

List of products:
Nivea Visage Moisturiser
MAC Studio Fix Concealer in NC20
MAC Face&Body in N2
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Light Medium
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium Dark
Bourjois Kohl&Contour Eye Crayon/Pencil in Bleu Original
MAC Shadow in Blanc Type
MAC Lipliner in Magenta
MAC Shadow in Mystery
Avon Eye pencil in White
MAC Lipmix in Red, Yellow and White
Maxfactor Masterpiece Max Mascara in Black

I applied moisturiser then concealer but didn't blend it in. Then I used Face&Body with a flat foundation brush and this blended my concealer for me. I didn't powder yet. I used the crayon on the inner corners and outer corner and very very thinly on the lower lash line. I used a white to line my waterline and applied one coat of mascara to my bottom lashes then two to my top. I used my fingers to blend out any colour where necessary. I then powdered down the centre of my face with the lighter powder and contoured with the darker. I applied the lipliner lightly all over my lips then mixed the 3 lipmixes together to create a deep reddish coral, I doubt I'll ever get it right again though and applied with a lip brush, once it dried slightly I blotted it for a matte effect. I used fix spray to freshen it all up before I left.

This look also took around 20 minutes and was really great for colour lovers, getting that quirky clashing colour pop here and there. It will look great with this season's tribal styles. Someone send me a Dries Van Noten dress to rock it with!

So I will rate this a 4 out of 5, it was fun to do and fun to wear! However the colour on the inner corners and lips needs topping up regularly so be prepared to put in the effort. I promise however it pays of, I have had loving stares from girls with great taste in the shop all day. The great thing about this is that if you feel its too much knock out the eyeliner or lip until your confident enough to become a colour chameleon!

American Nomad

2010-04-21T08:31:00.000-07:00

So as stated in my previous blog I did the American Nomad look today.
Where to bein then I will start with my list of products used:
MAC Studio Fix Moisturiser
MAC Primer
MAC Face&Body in N2
Revlon Colourstay Palette in Khaki
MAC Shadow in Mystery
MAC Kohl in Smoulder
Mineralize Skinfinish Natural Powders Light Medium
Mineralize Skinfinsh Powder Medium Plus
Bourjois 3-D Effetc Lipgloss in Clear
Max Factor Masterpiece Max Mascara in Black

I first applied a base, then applied a slightly shimmering beige shadow to the lid in a smudgy style not worrying about the edges, I also took it below my lower lash line. I then used a vanilla shadow to highlight the brow bone. I used the kohl to line the outer cornor of the upper lid, and very thin and light along the upper lash line, then pulled it up and out with just the heat from my fingers. Then I used my fingers to blend and tidy the edges of the shadows and liner. I then powdered and applied my bronzer along the cheeks, nose, chin and temples. I filled in the brows with a deep brown shadow and lined the waterline and applied 2 coats of mascara.

It took me about 20 minutes maybe alittle less to do this make up, its quick simple and looks really nice and natural, I got compliments on it and people said I looked tanned and fresh.

So now for a picture,

I will give this look at 3/5 as it lasted well and looked great but is alittle too subtle for me, great for newbies or anyone not confident with colour or make up quite yet as its so simple and easy to create.

Introduction the trends.

2010-04-20T09:23:00.000-07:00

As you may have seen MAC have released 4 news campaigns. I am in love with all of them naturally.
I am going to test each of these looks this week,
Wednesday will be American Nomad

Thursday will be Dye-A-Tribe

Friday will be Underground Society and finally,

Saturday will be Pale And Dandy.

I will blog for each look and record the responses to each. I may even post pictures, god forbid.
It should give you an idea of how easy it is to acheive a new fresh spring/summer look, I will list products and methods and rate the look out of 5 on application, durability and overall look. So let's see how the experiment goes!

Are these not just darling? I need a pair to really kick my summer wardrobe up a gear, seen as Chanel clogs are far out of my budget these are a steal at £50. I see them paired with some neutral socks, cute floral dresses and a pale wash denim jacket, now all I need to pray for is some sunny weather to showcase it.

WOODY WEDGES
