Pink Haired Princess

Well it had to be something Royal wedding related today and how about a funny one...me in the McQueen wedding dress or at least my Stardoll medoll! I think it's so cute that they managed to make a replica outfit already, heehee!

You won't have heard much about the Royal Wedding from me. It's not that I don't like the Royals or William and Kate in particular, it's just been absolute overkill with tacky TV shows, films, adverts, merchandise, anything you could think of is wedding geared. The final straw came when my anti-virus program asked me to say "I do" to a 'royal wedding' deal! Oh jeez! It's been manic in the UK and more so at home because this is where the couple first met. My sister works in the town and has had reporters and film crews from around the world in her shop almost every day for the past few weeks just because William shopped there a couple of times!! It's just been crazy. Anyway, I was more interested in what the Beckhams would be wearing rather than Kate-although having just seen her McQueen lace gown (very Grace Kelly), it is gorgeous! Above, her sister Pippa also in McQueen-not the best photo, but she looks stunning on TV, the dress has butt...

My fabby new shoes that arrived today, meet the Irregular Choice 'Trixxie'. I loved the print and unusual heel shape when these first came out but they quickly sold out of my size. I was lucky enough to win them on eBay this week and they're even more lovely in the flesh than I expected. Is the heart shape created by the heels a nod to the Royal Wedding tomorrow? Ha ha, not likely, I'm sick fed up of hearing about it!

Christian Dior or in particular this collection is no stranger to Inspiretty, I've featured a couple of dresses before. I adore the array of colours in this photo as well as the designs themselves. The dizzying, majestic extravagance of it all just amazes me. source

I spent yesterday afternoon sorting through my MAC lip collection (the 'before' above). I have all my MAC lipsticks and glosses stored in a shallow box and I love that they are all in one place and I can easily see and select the colours I need. I've just been throwing in my new purchases lately so needed to properly sort them out and also I lost Pink Friday lipstick (gasp) and was praying it was somewhere in the box (thankfully it had fallen behind the box)! I realise I'm nearing the back of the box very rapidly which worries me as I really don't want to have to find another storage place for them all. I've always, always wanted to swatch every single MAC lip product I own (although I know it's a massive task) and so I started with some of the glosses yesterday. First, I'm looking at Cremesheen Glass which MAC describes as: "A lip finish that fuses the creamy, sheen-filled nature of Cremesheen Lipstick with the shine of M∙A∙C Lipglass. Soft, ...

I'm so excited because the Vivienne Westwood Anglomania & Melissa AW11 shoes are available for pre-order from Hervia now! Yipee! Expected delivery is July and here's all the details. First up we have the gorgeous Lady Dragon Pom Pom! Yep a freakin' rubber pom pom like my Touche Kouche from Office. Ahhhh! My favourite colour is definitely the peppermint , just awesome! Other colours from top are black, blush and smoke, priced £120. The bootie is back in plain black £90. A new style are these cameo flats, £84, the cameo detail is quite delightful, in either vanilla, dove, blush or smoke. Check out the glittering amazingness of the Lady Dragon hearts this season! All styles feature a metallic heart and the bronze glitter pair are probably my favourite because of the sheer sparkle overload! You can also get pearl with a red heart, red on red or black on black, £120 each. Another brand new style and pretty fabulous I might add, are the Skyscraper, which has the much l...

I always feel so uplifted after looking through photos of Nicki Minaj , she's such a bubbly, cute little thing and the colours, oh, always such bright and happy colours! Turquoise and pink together is probably one of my favourite if not the favourite colour combo of mine-just gorgeous! source

I mentioned my MAC Subculture lip pencil was very similar to others in my collection and here's the evidence. These lip liners are your darker than nude, but not quite dark brown shades. Here's how they compare to Subculture. * No7 Perfect Lips Liner in 20 Nude is the lightest of the bunch, although I think this was an older version (I can't find a new one-I have tonnes but they are hiding!), it's more of a peachy terracotta. * Pout Lip Pencil in 32A is now discontinued but it's lighter than MAC and more orangey. * 17 Perfect Pout Lip Liner in In The Buff (again this is an old version-the newer one would be Buff I reckon), it's a duller more brown version than MAC. * Urban Decay Lip Pencil in Midnight Cowboy is the darkest here along the same shade as 17. * Estee Lauder Auto Pencil For lips in 21 Fig is much pinker than MAC. * Hard Candy Get Personal Lip Pencil in LMAO : ) is more orangey brown.

I wasn't 100% sold on the latest Miu Miu collection, however these images of the footwear still make me go weak at the knees! A collective shoe shot always does that!

As I said yesterday, I realised which gloss MAC Plushglass reminded me of in my collection, it is of course Too Faced Glamour Gloss (can't believe it took a week for me to figure that out). I love TF GG and have raved about them since I first got them and because Plushglass is so similar, it's obvious I would fall for it's charms too! Both glosses smell exactly the same (like cookie dough or something) and have a glassy sheen, sheer-ish colours and a refreshing, cooling tingling feel on the lips which I adore. The differences other than the packaging (TF has a gorgeous jewel on the lid) are that TF is brush on, MAC has a doefoot applicator. MAC retails for £16 for 4.2ml and surprisingly TF is smaller (although it looks larger) at 3.6ml and costs £15 (the prices have gone up loads on TF lately). I own three TF Glamour Glosses; from back Sex Pot, Pillow Talk and First Time. My most recent was SP and I nearly didn't buy it because the tester colour looked really brigh...

I finally realised what my Plushglass glosses from MAC smell and feel like, Too Faced Glamour Gloss, the other love of my life!! I've got some gorgeous swatches and comparisons of my little collection coming over the weekend, but here's a little taster. Oooh, gorgeous!

I mentioned that I purchased some more MAC items in order to receive the free mascara they were offering when their website relaunched. I bought a couple of Plushglass glosses from the main line because I'd fallen in love with the one I purchased earlier from Quite Cute. I also got another lip pencil and a lipstick. When my order arrived (so much quicker than Debenhams fyi) I didn't get the mascara. I was calling MAC every name under the sun, considering I'd just spent over £50 on things I didn't need and I had placed so much hope on the rare chance of getting something free from MAC! I emailed them and never heard back (they still advertised the offer on their site even although it had expired 3 days earlier which irked me even more). Then I got a package through the post one day with my complimentary mascara, so all was forgiven. You redeemed yourself MAC! In the email I'd asked if they still had plenty badges left because I really wanted them for my siste...
