Disney inspired Make up look 1: Tinkerbell

Hey there glitter pixie's!

True to form was having a browse on tinternet and couldn't resist doing a Disney inspired make up looks.

Ohhhh Yeah and to kick off my fav: Tinkerbell <3

How did I acheive this look, well I'll tell ya!

EYES:

I started off with a a primer, then a very white eye shadow from my Sleek Make up au natural pallete.

Which I did all around the eye right up to the brow bone.

I then used a dark olive green shade from the same pallete, for the crease and under my eyes.

I then lined my eyes with my normal every day collection 2000 liquid eyeliner in black making sure not to miss some pixie flix at the outer corners!

I also used Loreal infalible colour eyeshadow over the lids

I then lined my eyes  just above the black with the simply freakin awesome Urban Decay 247 water proof liquid liner, in Eldorado  (OH MY GAH this is thick pretty GOLD and longlasting) also putting it underneath my eyes, and right up to the tear duct.

I then lined my eyes underneath again with black liner and was careful to draw out a few lower lashes in the liner.

I then used a pencil for the inside water line in white using a white natural collection pencil.

Gives your eyes a bigger anime look!! ^^

Then wacked on loads of Mascara I used the elizabeth Arden lash extending mascara
FACE: (Use water foundation will give you a pale refreashing glow) I used concealer the collection 2000 variety underneath my eyes, and the simply freakin awesome Sleek make up Blush in rose gold. Oh it's a beauty and I did wack this on a fair bit. (Hey a pixie's gotta sparkle ya know!)

LIPS:

I lined my lips with a bubble gum pink lip liner pencil i belive its in the shade 12. Holy Mackeral, this is leterally a bit neon, but great for a Disney cute look. I then blended it with my shimmery gorgeousness lipstick by INGLOT in the shade 187

SO there you have it I hope Tink would be pleased.. And just a disclaimer I don't own any rights to the pictures of Tink they belong to Disney this is Disney INSPIRED ;)

If anyone wants to start a tag for this, and do your own I WANNNA SEE!

From Design to Reality Floristry

As a Florist I often find it's really important to personally design things for your client.

Particularly when working on a wedding the client will often want something visual they can see.

Sometimes people ask for a mock up of the design, which you would then make for them. Obviously due to workmanship this is not always possible with any kind of shower bouquet, but works well with a posy design

Having a background in illustration and the fact that you may not have an exact example of a  bouquet or arrangement that someone would like, I often design and draw images for clients.

I often find that people who quite often live abroad and are only visiting Cambridge again, to get married and may not be able to visit a florist inbetween, appreciate this.

 I also find as a florist it's nice to have an image to work from so you're not just designing as you go.

It's not always possible due to time but I like to provide people with this if I can, as it's part of my skill set also.

Here's an example of some of mine

Great Christmas Finds

Hey guys!

Just a quick blog post to share with you some great Christmassy findz! Rather then wait till the end of the month, and squeeze everything into a monthly favourites post. I'd thought it best to share some now, so you can get your paws on some!

1. Check out this little beauty. Best Christmas jumper ever in my opinion can't wait to er..test it's little slogan either ;) hehe!
This is from Asda at about £14.00 I do believe!

2. These are finger less leather gloves I got from Boohoo.com, They're real leather with some lace detail on them.
These are great especially if you work in a cold environment and can't be bothered faffing about taking your gloves off all the freakin time, and then losing them, especially if you're me! I do feel when I wear these in the car, like I'm about to fly a plane or something, or in one of those old fashioned movies, 'Hang on Mi lady! I've got to put my driving gloves on!' LOLZ!

3. Ella Boots

Now I know I know what you're thinking, they are of a similar style to Uggs. But I can assure you due to the solid heel you want get that horrific saggy heel look.

These I think look so much better then Uggs anyway they're furry and have little pom poms on the side which kinda dangle along when you walk! I feel like Santa's helper when I wear them and they're very warm. I think you can wear them without socks if you wish, as they are all furry inside. I wear them with socks and they didn't make my feet overheat or anything!!
These ones are called Katrina Pom They won't break the bank either and are mainly available from what I've seen online, and prices tend to vary a bit!

4. Sparkly Handbag Tree decorations,
Now I couldn't very well walk past these and not buy them now could I?!
These are from B&M £1.49 for a pack of three! Give yer tree a lil'
glam makeover! They always sell out of these quite fast so get in there quick!

EEeek Christmas is coming..! Happy December 1st you guys!
