Fairytale Lookbook: Chapter 1~ Maleficent "Mistress of Darkness"


 

Apologises for the super long title and not gonna lie, it took me like ten minutes to find the "~" turns out it's next to the hashtag :)

Anywho, well this happened.. I got super bored on my day off and turned myself into a Maleficent. I think my mum worries about me now...

I'm going to make this into a series type thing so whenever boredom strikes I can look super fabulous and part of a fairytale, as you do aha. This series is inspired by quite a few things; "The Isle of The Lost" and "Disney Descendants" which is a book I just read and then the film is the follow on from it. They were quite too, they are about the descendants of Disney characters and the story is set in the modern day so it was cool to look at a modern take on the characters and hence one of the reasons I wanted to do this. You'll be able to find the book at most book shops (even the book section in tesco) or order it from amazon and the film is on Disney channel :) Another inspiration was once upon a time which is a series of fairytale characters being trapped in the modern world and it's just amazing. I'm rubbish at explaining things so just watch it and fall in love with captain hook yourself *swoons* also just my love for fairy tales alone was enough inspiration.

I was quite chuffed with my efforts with this, it turned out way better then I thought I was capable of- except for the eyeliner, that was a lost cause *sigh* but such is life.

Also when I was uploading these I accidentally deleted most the pictures from my camera before they had fully downloaded *cry and cry some more* so I only had three and then some I'd taken off my phone so sorry some of the good ones are lost *cry a little more* 

But here's what I turned out like..



Believe it or not, I genuinely have friends haha.

For her makeup I did a smokey eye with green on the lid and fade out into purple right up to my brow bone. I attempted to contour like her but it didn't quite work the way I imagined it. I also attempted to do winged eyeliner.. for the lips I used a red lipstick like she wears in the film and I also ran black eyeshadow through my eyebrows.

for the outfit it just wore black clothes like my kimono to try and mimic her cape and for the head I couldn't find any horns in my house so instead I used my black towel wrap and stuck a pick of felt up it to copy the shape of her hat :)

All in all it's not perfect but it sure was fun to do and next I think I'll do snow white (I may of ordered a black wig hehe)

Well that's all folks!

Thank you for reading, I hope you found it somewhat entertaining ^.^
Please leave suggestions in the comments
I hope you have a super fantastic day,
bye!

A Rimmel London Review: New Kate Moss Nude Lipsticks

Well unless you live under a rock (or don't give a rat's arse about beauty.. in which case, unless you're beyond bored, I don't recommend you read this) you'll of probably heard that Rimmel London has launched new Kate Moss lipsticks in a nude collection. I think Kate Moss is a model or something but she could be an astronaut for all I know. What I do know is that Kate Moss' lipsticks are the bomb.com so when I heard about these it was inevitable that I was gonna pick one up, well two actually ;)

I'm pretty sure there are 5 shades in the collection and then one lip barm thing?

I picked up the two darker colours; 45 and 48 as the others looked a little too light for my liking as they looked like they would make me look like I have "concealer lips" which isn't very hot and "you look ill" as my old head of year would say, haha. But I haven't tried them so I can't judge.

So here number 45 and number 48 in my attempt to be photograpery ;)



 
That photograpy effort tho...


Oh boy, now to attempt to describe them..

 45, on the left, is very smiler to my beloved 03 only this is slightly more sheer and pink toned (I think haha) It's also quite similar to my natural lip colour so it just adds a little something without shout "I'M WEARING LIPSTICK", if you know what I mean.

48, on the right, is defiantly my favourite out of the two. It's kind of like a coffee toned nude and reminds me of on Rachel on friends has worn before. I love my statement red lips, as you will know if you read my blog but bold nude lip is very refreshing and I've been reaching for this one a lot!



Please excuse my peach fuzz aha


also please ignore how messy it it is, I did it very quick and rushed 


They don't last very long on the lips but they wear quite evenly so there is no weird lines on your lips after an hour or so. Over all, I'm quite chuffed with them, especially 48!

If you're interested you can find them here or in most drugstores :)

And can we give me points for effort for curling my hair? Like seriously it never happens and short hair is super hard to curl aha.

Whale that's all folks!
Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed ^.^
Have you tried these out or want to? Leave me a comment!
Have a super fantastic day,
CYA!
