all dressed up and nowhere to go...

So.I quite literally have no life at the moment.

Mainly because my usual thrillingly exciting social life has been replaced with constructing the following pieces of visual candy...

Lets face the facts...

Today was the launch of Topshop’s new makeup range, so I may have bunked off uni for an hour or so to pop along to go and have a nosey...

I seem to have a sort of love/ hate relationship with Topshop. Whilst I love their clothes, I can’t help but think they’re slightly over priced and sometimes find the whole brand a bit pretentious (note; this does not stop me spending the majority of my student loan here).

So off I trotted to Topshop, somewhat ready and eager to return to uni full of abuse and insults about Topshop's overpriced and conceited cosmetics range... only to find I fell in love with the whole bloody lot.

I’m going to be honest; it’s mostly because of the packaging. It gives benefit a run for its money and nearly (but not quite) out does MAC for swishness.

It’s not even that expensive! £8 for a mascara, £6 for a duo eyeshadow, £5 for nail varnish (thats only £1 more than Barry M) and the colours are much-o lush-o.

And then, much to my pure delight I discovered they do these cute makeup tutorials online.

I’m so happy right now I’m not even bothered that I’ve managed to dye the whole bathroom purple.

wanna be in my gang?

So... finally got round to joining lookbook.nu, possible the best blog ever created.
Am loving my new found ability to hype.

Ooooh, the power.

Thanks Lucie for my invite ♥

Here are the looks I’m hyping today (all images from www.lookbook.nu)

dream away...

So... on one of my lovely sporadic wanders through that magical realm of the internet I stumbled across this site; www.dustandlust.tumblr.com... which I fear shall be held responsible for the lack of productivity this evening. I’ve only scrolled down the first couple of images, but am already in love with the pic-a-mix of photos and imagery it features.

Below are my favourites... reflecting my current whimsy-and-pining-for-some-affection sorta mood.

The images belong to a whole mix of people, but aren’t amazingly referenced on the site so I’ll be lazy and let you do the sourcing.

Sweet dreams

Wishing they were real...

Unfortunately only mock ups... but hopefully not for long.

Too much to do to pass comment.

Thoughts anyone?
