Pink Haired Princess

My gorgeous Urban Decay Bride Kit arrived from Debenhams the other day. The box is much larger than I expected it to be, it's a very substantial set for £25. Empty, it would make a great keepsake box, because it's pretty sturdy and roomy. I haven't had the chance to try anything out yet, but I've swatched the Marshmallow powder (and licked a bit) and the Lip Junkie (Midnight Cowboy) gloss. The powder swatch is straight out of the box, not blended at all-it's super sparkly and pretty. The gloss has little colour, but is nice and shimmery and would work well over lipsticks or on it's own for glossy nude lips. The Supercurl mascara brush looks quite nice, it's not overly big and has a curved head. The Razor Sharp powder comes in one of those sponge applicator attached type thingies. There's a mirror on the lid and you can close the powder off, so it won't be 'puffing' away in the lid in your bag! Anyone else bought this yet? It's instore...

Posting may be a little erratic this weekend and early next week with my eBay sales and packaging them all up. Here's the link if you're interested (shoes size 5/38 or 6/39 FYI and tonnes of cosmetics too). Anyway, my birthday shoes arrived yesterday! I tried on a few pairs of Irregular Choice in Schuh the other week when my Mum was purchasing shoes for herself (not IC BTW). They mostly had size 6's out on the shelf and the blue 'Lucite Lovely' (really are lovely) were too big, so just take your regular size in them. I was so disappointed that they reduced the red pair in Schuh but not the blue-I'm definitely going to get them at some point because they're really pretty. 'I'm Bossy'-I thought the 6 were ok on me (I'm always worried that I need a bigger size for the strap across-it's a stud fastening, so it has to fit), but these were the pair I chose for my b'day and the 6 are slightly too big now that I have them home! I'v...

Another design collab, this time from New Look with London College of Fashion . To be honest, I'm only really in love with one pair, everything else is a little too 'regular New Look' line for me and just nothing worth shouting about. The denim on the pairs above and below are not my thing at all. The detail on the strappy pair add a little interest (although I'm still not sure I even like it) plus the mid-heel and frumpy shape detract from that anyway. The mules below, well they are just too 80's, too frayed, too mule and just too euch! I mean how would you style them? I'm at a loss. From the previews, I had expected to like these 'fascinator' heels in black or ivory. Looking at the online product images though they just came across as looking a little too cheap. I like the shape and I like the t-bar detail but the materials don't do them justice and this pair look like they'd belong in the regular line because of that and I wouldn't s...

Ok, so I heard that Irregular Choice had a special 'limited edition' collection launching this week. It was in partnership with London College of Fashion and saw two winners designs come to life. Beforehand, I was quite curious to see the designs but not necessarily thinking I'd want them. Boy, was I wrong! I squealed when I saw them and they're all I can think about just now! I'll start with Rosanna Gault, who has the Rosanna bootie and Rosy shoe. Rosanna, £240 is available in bright turquoise patent with peach/brown floral (below) or brown patent with pale blue and white floral trims (above). There's so much going on this boot, it's over the top bordering on a harajuku style influence, but right up my street! You have the large platform (floral on the turquoise, striped on the brown) and an amazing heart cut-out heel (with stripes inside) and I think the two work well together balancing each other out (cute versus tough). The frilly lace trim and ...

I'm getting all twitchy because there are so many posts I want to write and my little fingers won't type fast enough! I had a little birthday money to spend and it was that awkward amount-probably not enough for a decent pair of shoes, too much for a little thing like jewellery and if I didn't spend the exact amount I know I'd just put it into my bank account and never remember exactly what it went towards. So by some freaky coincidence, Debenhams had written on their Facebook page that day about the new Urban Decay Bride Kit (exclusive to them) which isn't instore until 30th May but available online now (although I can see it taking until the 30th or after to be delivered with this bank holiday weekend). It was exactly £25, the amount I had to spend, so it seemed like fate. Now I'm not a bride or bridesmaid, in fact I don't have any weddings coming up for the foreseeable future, but this little kit is filled with products for a flawless skin and fresh ...

As I mentioned, I was busy last weekend listing on eBay and all the auctions finish on Saturday and Sunday. A whole load of makeup items again and a good few pairs of shoes. You can find the link to my items here . I've basically got my footwear collection down to the pairs I really, really love, so it is harder to find some to sell but I'm trying to be ruthless because I just don't have the space for any more. If I had my own house it would be different, but this trying to cram 2-300 pairs in my bedroom is just getting ridiculous. There's a couple of Irregular Choice pairs up for grabs. The Grace Lace (below) are really pretty but not high enough for me (BNIB) and Princess Lilani (above), I love but they don't love me back! For some reason my lovely LAMB 'Faith' booties (BNIB) fitted when I first bought them and haven't since, so I've never had the chance to wear them. Then there's my lovely Glace Cherry crystal platforms by Kandee, I got th...

I quickly tried to edit the video I promised to show you next. It featured the gorgeous green nail polish I've been wearing recently, but instead I've decided to go back to my original plan of the images I took (and had previously been holding off showing-such a procrastinator), because the video is kinda crap (I'll see what I can salvage from it next week). A fortnight ago I went shopping because I needed some Lancome things and wanted the gift in Debenhams. I also noticed Topshop had a cool makeup GWP on their site, so I managed to get myself along to the store too rather than buying online without swatching first. With 3 makeup purchases you get a 'festival kit' (me at a festival, laughable I know!) and it comes in this little drawstring baggy, you get a full pack of wipes (worked wonderfully removing these swatches from my hand, but I have to admit I wasn't so keen on them on my face-felt like it dragged a bit), a packet of colourful kirby grips-always ...
