Picture of the Day!

Autumn Arrived


Muddy dog walks are always a good sign that autumn is here!

I personally love it when the weather gets colder, the leaves change colour and start to fall. One of the things that comes with this a lot is rain however, and in England we have had a lot of it recently! Resulting in the valley were I like to walk my Lab turning into a world of squelchy mud and dirty puddles. Dog heaven!

An Ice Bar? In London?


Welcome to icebar by icehotel! Located in belowzero!

First off all I could think was wow. This bar is kept at an apparent -5°C although when went it was a -9, rather chilly! The whole bar, seats, tables and even your glass is made of ice. It is definitely a unique experience! 

On arrival you are told to go and wait in belowzero,a perfect time to add any extra jumpers and get a drink. Once called over, you have a little talk about what will happen, and then before you know it a thermal poncho is thrown on and you're in a giant freezer. 
I had a lovely time, we had a great group of people who were friendly and quite happy to take pictures, although I suppose that could be hit and miss. There is a slight lack of sitting space however.

The drinks are probably made a whole lot better by the surrounding and I would recommend getting a champagne cocktail for your second drink! There was a large choice of cocktails. These cocktails came in a ice glass, yes, a glass made completely of ice. Rather interesting because the heat from your lips slightly melts the ice! Plus due to everything else being made of ice, the glasses seemed to like to slid away (CATCH THAT GLASS).
Over all a super cool (pun intended) experience that was so much fun! I would recommend wearing warm clothes, while the poncho works, it doesn't cover your legs or feet (I did feel very sorry for the girl in flip flops). I personally plan on going back!

OOTD - Dog Walking

I'm all for this kind of outfit, one in which I have been able to wear to meet my friends for lunch and a spot of shopping, yet comfy and practical enough to be able to walk the pooch too!

What I'm wearing:

- T-shirt - While it is hidden away it is a taupe colour and loose fitting, from Forever 21

- Hoodie/Jacket - This knitted hoodie is hugely thick and super warm, I love the pattern going around it! From Superdry

- Jeans - Wine in colour and super soft, Topshop

- Socks - Long black knitted socks

- Shoes - Classic short chestnut UGG's, mine are definitely on the beaten up side as they are so old!

All worn with a super cute pooch on the side!

April's Make-Up

April's Make-Up

I am one to get into a make-up habit as such, when I experiment if I find something I really like I often do it a lot for the next couple of weeks. The past few weeks I have been loving a smoky sparkly grey look, I personally find I can wear this both in the day and night, though it is more suited to a night-time look. 

For the eyes:
Step 1 - Prime the eye area. I used a sparkly primer (Too Faced Shadow Insurance in Candlelight) to add to the sparkle, but any would do.


Step 2 - The first eye-liner. The first I used is a thick eye-liner pencil (Benefit BAD gal smoldering black eye pencil), I apply a thick line of this getting thicker at the outer corner of my eye and winging very slightly. Then I take a cotton bud and blend this out.  

Step 3 - I then apply a thin line of a felt-tip liquid eye-liner (Bourjois Liner Feutre in Ultra Black) to the upper lash line. 

Step 4 - For my lower lash line I use a smaller eye-liner pencil (Rimmel London Soft Kohl in Jet Black 06) to make a fairly thick line (I do not use this on my water line due to having sensitive eyes).

Here is where I would add fake lashes if I was going out at night. 

Step 5 - Eye shadow time! For this look it is fairly simple, I used too Bourjois products, one of their new Light Round Pot LIGHT in 01 a shimmery golden white and No. 25 a grey silver glitter colour. I place the grey over the black eye-liner on my upper lash line, the darker you make it the more night time suitable it becomes. Then placing the shimmery white all over the lid and in the inner corner. 

Step 6 - Curl your lashes and apply mascara. I like to combine different mascaras. I used Max Factor False Lash Effect in Black, Diorshow BlackOut and Too Faced lashgasm. 

For the rest of my face, I kept it simple.

All the products I used on my whole look:

Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in 05.

Too Faced Lashgasm Mascara.

Diorshow BlackOut Mascara.

Max Factor False Lash Effect in Black Mascara.

Sigma Brushes F30 & F60.

E.L.F Blending Eye Brush.

Two Faced Shadow Insurance in Candlelight.

Benefit BAD gal Eye-liner.

Bourjois Liner Feutre Felt-Tip Eye-liner in Ultra Black.

Rimmel London Soft Kohl Eye-liner in Jet Black 06.

Eyelash Curlers.

Bourjois Light Round Pot LIGHT in 01 and Little Round Pot No. 25.

Burts Bees Lip Balm with Acai Berry.

Nars Sheer Glow in Mont Blanc.

Clinique Blended Face Powder in 03.

MEMEME PussyCat cheek and lip tint. 

Sheercover Concealer.
