WAH! Nails

Today I Visited WAH Nails To Get My Nails Diiid. Fun Day. They Were Having Mini Photoshoots For Their Topshop Campaign. Lovely Bunch of Girls.



My Friend Got the Nude Nails With The Pretty Bows.

Models Getting Their Make Up Done For The Shoot.
The Lady Who Did My Minx. Lovely




My Nails. Zebra Print With Minx Foils. My Hands Are Not Dry, It's Just The Buffer Okay Lol.






They Have A Concession In Topshop, Oxford Circus. But They Are Pricey. I Went To The Dalston Store On Kingsland Road. They Are Cheaper In There && The Environment Is Much More Fun.

SING IT BRUNO!

Bruno Mars Recently Popped Into Radio 1 && Performed His Rendition of Katy Perry's California Girls.

25 Year Old Peter Hernandez, Otherwise Known As Bruno Mars Reached Prominence && World Wide Acknowledgement After His Feature On B.O.B's 'Nothing On You' && The Travie McCoy's 'Billionaire'.

With Behind The Scenes Experience In Producing && Song Writing For Artists Such As Travie McCoy, Sugababes, Alexandra Burke, Brandy, Cee-lo && Many Others, It Was Only A Matter Of Time Before He Took His Own Steps Into The Spotlight As A Solo Artist.

Here's Bruno Singing California Girls. I Like Katy Perry's Version...But I Think I May Like This One A Liiitle More. ^.^ Look How Cute He Is!!

Happy Birthday Aaliyah

Today Marks The 32nd Birthday For The Wonderful Songstress. Just Over 9 Years Ago We Lost A Great Icon. So Aaliyah Dana Houghton, May You Rest In Perfect Peace.

January 16 1979 - August 25 2001
"I Want People To Remember Me As A Full-on Entertainer And A Good Person" - Aaliyah


Be You, Be Happy


So I 'Borrowed' (Stole Is Such A Harsh Word) This From Angela Simmons Blog && I Absolutely LOVE It.

It's So Easy To Lose Yourself or Change In This World. Life's Definitely Not Easy. But With Life Situations, You Grow && You Learn. My Life Hasn't Been Easy, But I'm Definitely Still Standing. There's A Lot of Things People Go Through That Noone Could Ever Notice.

GOD Is My Safety Net. I Know Through Him All Things Are Possible && No Pain Lasts Forever.

MAC Lovin'

Im A Massive Fan of Lip Colour! The Brighter The Better (Depending On Skin Tone) Also The More Dramatic EVEN BETTER (Again, Depending On Skin Tone).

Im A Dark Skinned Girl So I'm Not As Wild When It Comes To Colours Such As Pinks and Oranges, Although I'd LOVE To Wear 'em. Especially Orange :(.


Growing Up, I Was Never A Fan of Make-Up. Clear Lip Glosses && Thin
Line of Eye Liner on The Top Eye Lid Was As Far As I Would Go. Anything You Could See From A Mile off Was A No-no. So All You Girls That Used To Play In Your Mummy's Make Up Bag As Child, I Was Defo Not One of Them. So I'm Only Now Learning && Experimenting With Make Up Colours.


You'll Never Catch Me With A Full Face of Make Up On Unless Im Going To An Event, Evening Dinner Or Somewhere Important. On A Daily Basis The Most I Would Have On Is Vaseline Or My Ample Pink Plush Lipgloss From MAC. Sometimes Maybe Mascara or Abit of Blusher If Im Feeling Lifeless.

Last Month I Thought I'd Give In To The Lust of Red Lips && Go Buy Some. Red Lippy That Is, Not The Lips. Tested Out The Different Colours. As I Said Before, I'm A Dark Chick So I Wasn't So In Love With It. After Playing Around With Some Reds, We Found One. Ruby Woo! I Was Then Advised To Back It Up With Pencil, Just So You Get A Neater Outline Finish of The Lips, (Either That or They were Just Tryna Get Me To spend Even More Money). So I Left With Ruby Woo Lipstick && The Cherry Lip Pencil.

I Think After That I Got Excited && Brave I Went Back For Three More New Colours. I Feel Liberated! *Burns Bra* (I Know It's Not The Same, But You Get What I Mean.) I Got A Dark && Light Brown && A Deep Purple. Yep, That Taylor Momsen Kinda Purple. *Thriller Scream*

I Now Buy Only Pencils Instead of The Lipsticks. I've Found That They Look Better && Also Last Much Longer. I Don't Really Find Myself Reapplying That Much During The Day.

Now, I've Ditched The Subtle Ample Pink, For The Light Brown. I Wear My Light Brown Cushy Lip Pencil Pretty Much Everyday.


Here Are My Beloved Lip Pencils. I Don't Think Ima Get Any More. These Colours Will Do...For Now ;)

These Colours Are:

Nightmoth


Cushy

80%





Cherry

I Would Love To Wear Black && Orange, But I Know That Just Won't Suit Me :(
