REVIEW | Studio Fix Fluid

Hey Mønsters !

Today I'll be reviewing my all time favourite foundation, Mac's Studio fix fluid, aswell as showing my make up of the day, which I did for clubbing last night...

Firstly, since discovering Studio fix fluid about a year ago, I have been hooked.

Mac says: 'A modern foundation that combines a natural matte finish and medium-buildable coverage with broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 15. Comfortable and long-wearing: lasts for up to eight hours. Applies smoothly, builds coverage quickly and easily. Contains specially treated micronized pigments and soft-focus powders for a super-smooth look that helps minimize the appearance of imperfections. Absorbs and disperses oil. Contains special skin-conditioning ingredients. Oil free.'

My verdict: The foundation does provide a matte-enough finish, and covers well without giving that caked look, but is also buildable. It is relatively long-wearing, and only really needs the occasional touch up if your a perfectionist like me lol.. It does look super smooth and does minimise the look of imperfections, but it doesnt hurt to use a bit of cover-up, concealer and finish it all off with Mac's blot powder to really minimise all shine.

I love this foundation and need to stop trying to find new ones cos I always come to the same conclusion that they are never as good as this one.

Below, Mac's Studio Fix Fluid.

Below is a picture of me without any make up on [eek] just to give you guys a taster of what the foundation actually does...

And below here is a picture of me wearing the foundation on it's own, apart from a primer, and without concealer or powder of any sort.

And here are some piccys of the look I went for after having done my foundation... Bit of a blacked out eye which I dont usually do, along with a frosty pink lip. Yes, they are my real lashes lol cos people just dont stop asking if i wear falsies... :)

The Louboutin Manicure

Hey dolls !

I went to get a manicure the other day, and as I'm getting a lil tired of the animal print nails, I remembered my mum telling me about the 'louboutin' manicure, so thought i'd ask the manicurist to give it a go... It involves a simple black nail with a small red half moon.

Result? I actually quite like it... it's different and I love black nails, so was nice to add a little twist to it. There is another type of 'Louboutin' manicure where you have the top of your nail painted black, and the underneeth of your nail painted red, but can be tricky for people who don't wear acrylics like me cos you need the length !

Here is my take on the 'Louboutin' nail...

What do you think? Lemme know !

Vintage Chanel Finds

Hey Dollies !

A few days ago my momma let me know about this designer sale going on at the Red Cross off the King's road in London, so, considering I hope to one day own my own vintage boutique, asked my boyfriend to take me...

Anyhoo, we got there a lil while after it had started so most of the good stuff was gone - that being 2 Chanel Bags... but to my advantage nobody seemed to have noticed the white pair of Chanel ankle boots in the window... apart from me [tee-hee] So I ran over, picked them up, glanced at the size (EUR 37 - UK 4 ) And thought to myself... F*ck it, there not my size, but there an investment for my store as they were clearly vintage, and at £250... A Bargain! ( I also managed to squeeze my foot into them ! lol)

I strolled around the store (as my bf sat patiently on a chair, staring at all the crazy ladies bargain hunting lol) and nothing seemed to catch my eye... There were a few pair of vintage Manolo's but they looked old.. VERY old... so walked away and found myself staring into this glass cabinet... the LV logo grabbed my eye so I asked the lady if she could kindly pass me what I thought was a belt... and turned out to be a really weird bag lol but a girl next to me had picked up a Dark brown gold chain 'necklace' in a leather case...

When she asked the woman if there was any more Chanel left, I looked over to find she had a Chanel necklace/waist belt in her hands... As soon as she put it down, I grabbed it, asked the price... and again at £300 for CHANEL.... BARGAIN ! So I bought that and left the store very satisfied !!

On top of it all, there was this lovely older lady who came up to me and said in the sweetest voice: "Thank you for buying my stuff" ... :)

Here are some piccy's of the purchases I made...

My New Tattoo :D

Hey all,

Yesterday I took the day of college to go to "The Familly Business" tattoo shop in Angel, London, to get my latest tattoooo ! The shop is Ah-may-zing, although there is quite a bit of a waiting list ( I had to wait 2 weeks, but some people have to wait 8 months Depending on the artist!) Anyhoo, everyone in the shop are so lovely and nice, opposed to some artists i have had tattoo me in the past that have been shmucks... My artist was from Rome, Italy, and was such a sweatheart, and he did the most fantastic job ! :D... I got two flower tatts on my wrist, each signifying my parents. The top flower is a pink carnation, and signifies the love of a mother, this flower is for my mum, and the bottom flower is a gladiolus, which represents strength, which is for my dad... Some pics below....

(Its swollen and has cream on it the pics lol)

Enjoyyyy....

I went to the Lil Wayne concert... & HE GAVE ME HIS HAT !!!!

Ok so havent written in a while but....

OMG OMG OMG !!!

So me n my friend went to the Lil Wayne concert in Hammersmith Apollo in London as I am OBSSESD with him, hes so yummy n his music is the best, and we arrived four hours before the doors open to queue so we could be at the front, and it was a success... So we are at the front and we were really pissed off cos we met these two scottish girls who were bragging about how they knew all the celebs and shit and then inside the apollo, it gets announced that there are a few backstage passes to give away, and they would be giving it to his number one fan, and im sorry bt i was screaming so loud my eyeballs nearly popped out and they completely ignored everyone and went str8 up to the scottish girls and gave them the passes, so it was obviously rigged but we were so jealous and bummed out... Anyways Weezy came out shortly and he is so delicious and it was so amazing and then .... the best moment of my life happened.... Dwayne Michael Carter III himself, Mr WEEZY F. BABY looks me dead in the eyes, and leans down to the front where we were and hands me his fitted hat. YES, HANDS it to me. He didn't throw it into the crowd, or just chuck it, he looked me dead in my eyes and put it in my hands. As you can imagine there were bare girls tryna get the hat but he moved their hands away and gave me the hat... ME ! ME ME ME ME ME !! You cannot imagine how i felt at this moment in time... my knees went week and i just couldnt believe it, neither could my friend. I am now sittin in my living room with LIL WAYNES hat on my head... dont believe me, check out the pics of him wearing it that i took below, and then the pics of me !! AHHHHH !! Its a size 8 lol so a bit big but im so fuking happy !! Young Mooooolaaah babyyyyy !!
