Pink Haired Princess

Hello peeps, long time no speak! Hope you all had a good Christmas and are looking forward to the new year. 'Monster High Monday' has come later this week, purely because I haven't had time to edit the post until now. I still took the pics on Monday though, so we don't have to worry about renaming it 'Monster High Sunday' or something! This week the inspiration was the ridiculously beautiful 'Gloom beach' Draculaura. Now I don't normally collect the Draculaura dolls, my sister does. She's a bit too 'childish' for me, however when the Gloom Beach one came out and looked this pretty, I had to have her. It's possibly one of my favourite makeup looks and I don't want to disappoint you, but I feel like I failed massively this week! Either I didn't get the application right, used the wrong products or more than likely, I'm just not as cute-as-a-button as this little pink skinned vampire! I'm again loving the chan...

Apologies for this post taking so long. I initially considered a video, then the light was never right and I just feel uncomfortable doing videos, so that was out. I took photos, again the light wasn't great (Scottish winter to blame) and although you can see details, you can't see how the dresses hang etc. So I settled on a combination of the two after much procrastination and here it is. You'll remember I bought all 4 Pearl Lowe pieces online at Peacocks (3 dresses and one jumpsuit) and I had mixed emotions when my order arrived. I'll go through each item separately and at the bottom of the page is my You Tube video, just a quick look at the items hanging on a hanger to give you an idea of length. First up is the fan print jumpsuit . I bought this with the intention of cutting and sewing it into a dress (still undecided on full length or shorter). I haven't had time to sort that out yet, but I would think it would work well because the legs are so w...

I'm hitting you with a brand new feature today, which I'm rather excited about (so hope you will be too)! I was taking some photos of one of my Monster High dolls for the blog at the weekend and I thought how pretty her makeup looked close-up, which inspired me to come up with this new feature. I already have my Lipstick Challenge running every week, but each Monday, I'll be taking inspiration from a Monster High doll for my makeup! Each post will include images of the doll and my version of the look including a run-down of the products I used. It's so easy to get stuck in a rut and do a similar look or variation of that each day, so with a crazy MH doll as my guide, I'm hoping to try out lots of different things.  Today features the original Ghoulia Yelps. She has deep red lips, winged brown eyeshadow and thick black liner. Here is my version! I've even used a little computer trickery for Ghoulia-blue eyes on some of the images! I rather l...

Every year, I blog about the fabulous Soap & Glory offer at Boots . Usually around the same time each year, the biggest S&G Christmas set is slashed to half price. This year it's The Best Of All gift set, which will be dropping to £27 from £60! Doesn't take a mathematician to work out that's even better than half price! The offer will start tomorrow (Friday 14th December) at 7am and I'm going to shock you by saying for once, I don't think I'm going to buy it! Every year, I've stayed up until midnight then woken at 6am in the hope I could buy it online or else my Mum has gone to Boots before it opens to get it, but I feel I have a ridiculous stash of S&G stuff to get through that I don't actually need more just now. Saying that, I use the hand and foot creams every day (so always need them) and have grown to quite like the mascara. Sexy Mother Pucker I love too, but have loads of, same goes for the shower gel and body butter (yes I...

I had another £15 (and £2 left over from last time) rewards on my Debenhams beauty card (I know the way I bang on about that card, I should be ambassador for it), anyway it was burning a hole in my unicorn purse and so I set off to spend it. It was a week or two ago when they had 10% off and I figured for £17, I'd be able to get a nice lipstick. Last time when I got the Clarins balm, I'd noticed some nice lipsticks, so decided to give them a better look. My hand was absolutely covered in swatches of lovely sparkling lip colours and I couldn't remember which one was where, but had fun trying them all! The Joli Rouge Brilliant Lipsticks are sheer in colour, so the majority look nothing like the stick inside when swatched (which meant testing them all !). I found there wasn't much difference between some of the shades (hence my struggle to make a decision), especially when you tilted them a certain way. I then started trying out the Joli Rouge and Rouge Prodige ...
