"THE BEGINNING OF FOREVER" A BLAST FROM THE PAST.



27.07.13

I leaped out of my bed full of excitement for the upcoming day, my beautiful cousin is getting married today, I cooed with excitement. I glimpsed at myself in the mirror, I had no makeup on and I was glowing, I felt full of joy and I felt so happy and this girl has not felt this happy in a long time. I ran into the living room to see my father who was starting his day with a good cuppa tea, as much as sitting down watching Jeremy Kyle with a cuppa sounds brill, I was full of adrenaline and I just wanted to get my outfit on and witness what only be described as a truly beautiful day. I couldn't wait to spin around in my beautiful dress and admire the person in the mirror on who I had become.

Hairdressers here I come. I decided that today I wanted to feel at my must confident and I wanted the day to run smoothly, so I sat in the hairdressers chair and swirled around a few times and then here jade was my hair stylist, I decided to have my hair in a beautiful up-do. I found myself smiling at the person in the mirror and I glanced at my hair from several different angles and I cooed once again in excitement.Everything was just falling into place perfectly. 
Lauren then toke her place and she admired my hair,"wow, it looks gorgeous" and then she went on asking how I would like my makeup. I was admittedly a little nervous, this was the first time I have had my makeup done and I had great expectations and I knew I would feel disappointed if this wasn't done to them. I sat there fiddling with my thumbs and fiddling with anything in reach, I kept on saying to myself "it will look lovely,it will be fine" and I was so correct. I went for flawless skin with a flush of pink on the cheeks, peach passion on my lips and a medium brown smokey eye with a pair of lashes what are to die for, and my love for defined eyebrows begun. Wow she had done an amazing job, I was glowing not because of benefit high beam but because I was overcome with happiness and excitement. 
I came out of the hairdressers feeling a different person. I felt confident and I caught my dads eyes and he smiled and he put the thumbs up. I had gotten the approval from my dad , now i do know it looks good. We set off back home. 



I skipped up the stairs to my dads apartment and I ran through the doors with my arms flowing in the air and I carried on skipping to my dress, I stood and stared at my dress and yes I was in love. A beautiful grey  French Connection chiffon dress with a ray of different pink sequins and beads,organised beautifully on my dress. A simply beautiful dress. Now its time to put it on and spin and admire the person in the mirror, and I did. My dad kissed me on my head and told me I looked beautiful. I felt like a little girl , I hadn't got a care in the world. Today was a good day. Today was the day when my cousin became Mrs Ardron.

I took my place in the car and cooed again with excitement. "Yes" I said beaming with excitement, im finally on my way to the church. 
I stared out of my window watching the world go by, appreciating what I had in life. I were surrounded in this car by people who meant the world to me and I was soon to join the rest of people who made me as a person complete."Yes" I shouted when we arrived at the church.We are here, We are here and soon ill get to see my cousin walk down the aisle. I had butterflies and I couldn't imagine on how she felt. I swung open my door and my dad reached out his hand and I gracefully left the car and made my way to the floods of the happy people but before I did that the sun came out from behind the clouds and I looked up and smiled. Now this is perfect and as i love a good selfie , me and my brother gave are best pose for the camera "Cheese" 



I toke my place in my chair in the church, I was rocking with excitement. Lee Toke his place at the front of the sea of happy relatives and friends. The music played and I was now jumping a little on my seat. This is it, the moment that my cousin had dreamed about all her life and now the dream was becoming reality. We all raised from are seats.The bridesmaids looked beautiful and they walked with such grace but now my eyes was focused on my cousin, tears rushed to my eyes, I couldn't believe how beautiful she looked, I stared at her with admiration and total love and I was so proud of her. I looked around and everyone else was looking at her with the same loving look. She looked stunning, and it melted my heart. The way lee looked at her was breathtaking, and once again my eyes filled with tears, I was overjoyed. 




"I will". Becky Hunt was now Becky Ardron, and I just saw a beautiful ceremony what touched my heart and many others. I roar of claps flooded the room as the bride and groom left the church and we then row by row followed, all of us had a skip inn are beat as we walked out. We all gathered as the bride and groom walked out of the church doors and we throw are confetti on the newly weds and cheered and celebrated. It was truly beautiful. I was overwhelmed with emotions. I just wanted to give my cousin a massive hug and just tell her how breathtakingly stunning she looked.





We sent the bride and groom off to where they would capture the beauty of their relationship in pictures in a stunning place. We all made are way to the car and got on are way to where the reception would be held.I sat back in my chair and went other the beauty on what I had just saw, I smiled to myself and I was truly proud of my cousin. She has a loving husband and the most amazing son "Theo" who I love so so much! He is a little burst of joy and happiness and every-time I see him I love him more and more. Let the reception begin. 




Im going to show the rest of my amazingly beautiful evening with pictures :) Enjoy!



Cheers full the room, people wooing with joy and happiness. Happy faces Full the room as the bride and groom make their appearance.




After Eating up all lip licking scrumptious food the speeches got on their way.


And emotions was running high, laughter and smiles all around and even a few tears.



Now we head outside for the throw of the bouquet. Eeek This was so fun and the photos captured the emotions beautifully.   


Oi Oi cheeky ;)


After taking in the beautiful sights what surrounded us we then went back inside and the bit which I was looking forward to the most, the cutting of the cake, just because the cake looked heavenly and I couldn't wait to get my hands on some. Form a fashionable Que behind me, Cake for me first. Yes please.

And then we all toke are seats for the bride and grooms first dance. Not one eye in the room was dry. Stunning.


Everyone then joined and pulled out their best moves. Hey, it was real impressive.


And even little Theo showed us how to boogie that night.


I was so sad when the night ended , as that day I had a light inside of me. I felt confident and I felt happy and I was truly overwhelmed by the day. My cousin is my role model and I hope what she has found in life I find it too. 




Thank you very much for reading my post. I wanted to share all this day with you because its something I still look back on and smile. A Blast from the past.

KATY PERRY MAKEUP INSPIRED LOOK


So As I very much love playing with different makeup looks when I saw this picture of Katy Perry I thought yup ill give that a go and I am so glad i did! I have done my own little take on this look as you can see ,So I do hope you like it :)


A bold colorful eye which sparkles in every light with two coats of black mascara and an always most defined eyebrows with flawless skin and a shimmery pink blush with well moisturized up rich pink lips, oh-so kissable. 



Katy Perry is well known for showing up in(and pulling off!) some of the literally wildest color on the red carpet. She is known for doing the boldest,brightest beauty looks and that is why I love her! I love how she doesn't play it safe.
This look is clearly not one for everyday its fun and colorful and super playful and oh-so sparkly! It certainly isn't boring. But then again Katy Perry is not one for minimal makeup.
She wore this look in 2011 at the Grammy awards and Jake baileys aim was to give Katy Perry an angelic,sparkly and ethereal "disco angel"  look and oh wow I love it,bold and colorful and I think its perfect for summer! 









What do you think to my take on this gorgeous make up look ?







These are the products I used to achieve my look.



I prepped my skin first using my everyday routine fabulous simple products. Say hello to the kind to the skin sensitive skin experts cleansing lotion,facial toner, eye makeup remover and my hydrating light moisturiser.







A closer look at them got to have bold colorful eyes :) 









Had so much fun doing this look and I really hope you like it too :) 

If you want to know how I got this look step by step i am more then willing to do a post explaining.

GOODBYE WINTER AND HELLO SPRING




Today is the first day of spring! woo! and what better way to start it off then to introduce to you all my latest lipstick buys. Goodbye winter lipsticks you did me proud and hello to all my lovely vibrant spring/summer lipsticks. 




That picture makes me so giddy! eek! I love how vibrant, bright and colorful all my new lipsticks look. From bright pinks and oranges to soft corals and pinks, with a night out on the town red. I am very much ready for the spring/summer but as a beauty addict i know that many more will catch my eye! Beauty blogger problems, Bring it on!  
I also Had a very exciting moment today when i realized that with my Natwest credit card , every pound i spend gives me 1 point, well i had 8793 points and you can put them towards shopping vouchers,experience days,food and so much more! Well as a beauty addict i decided on getting the boots vouchers, i grabbed myself £40 worth! First word springs to mind is WOWIE! Now i can get loads of makeup, yay! 


So Firstly say hello to my lip balms.







Starting from the left

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in the beautiful shade Crush - I love how soft and smooth this makes my lips feel. A gorgeous scent of mint which awakens your senses. A dark but vibrant shiny color which with just one application leaves a nice flush of color but to intensify the color give just one more application, I like it to be extra dark so i do this. The color stays on your lips for hours and your lips feel lush! A brilliant retractable design and I love the packaging as its easy to identify when with all your other lipsticks



Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balm in the vibrant night to day shade Whimsical- A perfect mix between a gloss and a balm and once again a fresh scent of mint, which i adore. Leaves my lips feeling extra soft and hydrated, great pigment of color leaving a high shine finish. It contains Shea, mango and coconut butters to moisturize the lips so that's a bonus. I love this color A medium dark frosty cool toned pink.


Mua Power Pout in a intense tint & balm in the get your attention shade Runaway-A 3 pound balm that is a great alternative to the Revlon colourburst balms at £7.99.Cracked lips say goodbye and hello moisturized lips with a soft color. It goes on light on the lips and it is honestly a lovely color. I am very happy with my purchase and i am looking forward to trying some of the other shades available.



No7 High Shine Lip Crayon in the sorry to say disappointing shade Tickle- A high shine balm definitely true to its word but the color its self is almost invisible, just a shimmer. I have used this though on top of a orange toned matte lipstick and its look lovely. So i will be putting this to use but just not in the way i hoped,sadly! 




So there it is My 4 new lip crayons :) 

What do you think ?

Which is your Favorite ?


Hope you liked the post and tomorrow i will be telling you what i think to these 4 lipsticks!



EEEEEK!!! :D

WHATS IN YOUR WARDROBE




It's the dreaded Monday again! How quick did this weekend go ? Hope you all had a good one. 
I had a lovely weekend ,  even though I was working but when Ant and Dec is on my television screen on a Saturday and im eating my Chinese takeaway , im made up! I love nights in front of television, that beats going out any day! 

Well each week from now on im going to show you my favorite occasion outfits and day outfits from my wardrobe, I have way too much clothes. Lots of my clothes I have to put into a box and put them into my attic, Maybe I should go to counseling?


So this is an outfit which my friend has gave me as she can no longer wear it, when she asked me if I wanted this, I was like hell yea! 






This gorgeous dress is from Top shop, It's a very figure hugging dress and I can not zip it up myself, I have to have the help from someone else . The color is simply beautiful, a bronzed metallic color dress with silver stitching. Its made up of 82% polyester , 7% metallic fibers which is what gives that lovely sheen. It also has 11% elastane which makes it a comfortable fit. The great thing about this product too is that you can machine wash it,yay! As normally these kind of dresses are dry clean only, so that is a bonus! What do you think ?

I paired this dress with my black peep toe heels from Asos and my cream river island clutch bag.





So with my makeup I used lots of bronzer with a sweep of coral on my cheeks, with  dark brown defined eyebrows, with a brown smokey eye with a subtle black eyeliner with lots of layers of mascara and then a perfect matching nude lip. 



The products I used to meet this look was my Rimmel London wake me up foundation in shade natural beige,benefit erase paste concealer, Maybelline Fit me powder in soft honey,Mac Bronzing powder in refined golden,Elf eyebrow kit in dark brown, B by Superdug blusher in the shade Marissa(the reason I bought it because its my name),Rimmel London scandalous eyes flex in black, Rimmel London glam eyes professional liquid liner,Ysl rouge volupte lipstick and finally my beautiful elf eye shadow palette.



Do you like this look ?

What do you think to my Makeup ?

Why dont you let me know by email or send me a tweet, id love to hear from you :)

Makeup Is not a tool meant to make an ugly thing beautiful,It is meant only to magnify the beauty that already exists.
