My No7 Makeover Experience

Hello Dolls

Those who know me personally, know that usually when offered a make over I decline politely with 'sorry, I'm far too busy'. Those words almost strike fear into me. The number of times I have come out after someone doing my make-up looking a drag queen, I'd rather just not bother anymore. I'd rather not bother standing in a public bathroom scrubbing half the make-up off, praying that I won't see someone I know and actually, it ruins my day completely.

I know it sounds silly. So when No7 offered me a free make-over, hesitantly, I pulled up my big girls panties and booked myself in. No7 is known for enhancing natural beauty, surely they should be given a chance? And I'm so glad I did. The make-up artist was lovely and we had a right gossip the whole way through. She didn't make me look like a drag queen or treat me as if I wasn't important. She listened to me and what I wanted.

I think that's the problem, people don't listen anymore. They think they know best. Rather than thinking about what the costumer would suit and like, they say what they want, and they do what they want. But, hey, maybe that's a lesson for me, in the future I should be more forceful with what I want.

I took a few pictures of the finished look,

 

(Because it's better to look ugly on purpose than by accident, right?)

Dolce far niente | OOTD

Hello Dolls,

Before I left for holiday, the heat in England was literally crazy. I spent long days down at the beach with mocktails and blessed the fact that I didn't have college to worry about or work to be doing. I didn't have to wrap up tight and I didn't have to spend any money, perfect?

'Dolce far niente' (The sweetness of doing nothing)

But there's only so much time I can spend doing nothing!

So in a bid to do something a little more fun, I went out fruit picking with my best friend. I had never been before - gasp - so it was something new, cute, and still didn't break the bank. We also put our cooking skills to test with our punnets of fruit, and lets just say that Nigella Lawson won't be losing her job any time soon.

I took a little OOTD for you,

♥

How Much Is My Face Worth?

Good Afternoon Dolls,

Before you question how vain I might be from the title, this is actually a popular beauty tag and not me telling you how beautiful I am, promise! I thought that whilst this was circulating the blogisphere again, I would join in. Incase you didn't know, this tag is where you calculate the cost of what products used on your face - and then scare yourself silly at the outcome!

(This is only iPhone quality, my camera is still packed from Holiday!)

So, just how much is it worth?

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat in 1 (£25.00)
No7 Stay Perfect Foundation in Calico (£8.00) I usually swap between NARS Sheer Glow, but I thought as I was only running errands that I would use this one!
Soap & Glory Hocus Focus (£13.00)
Collection 2000 Concealer in Light (Quite the celebrity of the Beauty world) (£3.99)
Stila Prime Pot (£12.00)
Benefit Brow Zings (£23.00)

In total, that makes my face worth £213.38! Which is crazy scary and quite concerning! Maybe I won't invest in the Naked Palette just yet...

So how much do you reckon your face is worth?
