MET Gala 2011

Before I continue watching youtube videos ( haha ) I just HAD to do a post on the MET Gala ! I have been thinking about this all week but the exams didn't leave me even a spare second to do a quick post on it . I have quite a few favorites but they are all different and unique in their own way ! Let's get started !

 First off , Ashley Greene in this incredible gown by Donna Karan . The shape of this dress is amazing .
 Bar Rafaeli in ..... MORE SEQUINS . OhMy ! What I love the most about this outfit is the mix of turquoise accessories with the gold sequins . UH-MAZING .
 Ciara in Prabal Gurung , one of my favorite up and coming designers ! The shape of this dress is so simple but all the little sequin and ruffle details make this dress purrrfect .
 Dianna Agron in Michael Kors . Minimalist but I love the upper part of the dress .
 Fergie stealing the show in Marchesa . I have no words to describe this dress... It's probably my fave of my faves :)
 Gisele Bundchen in Alexander Mcqueen . Simple yet so amazing ? It's probably her body ... 
 Quite a few people were rocking simple dresses but no one can pull it off as well as GWYNETH PALTROW. She's wearing Stella Mccartney ! 


 Julianne Hough in Burberry . I'm loving the abstract kind of print ! ( Ryan laughing away in the background , oh so cutee ! )

 Miranda Kerr looks like a ballerina in this Marchesa dress ! Stunning .

There you go ! I'm having a wave of ideas coming in in the last few minutes ! I don't want to stop POSTING ! ( wave of ideas ? yeah ignore that I just invented it .. haha)


Make-Up Favorites

Hey guys ! Happy FRIDAY ! I just needed this hectic week to end . I had so many exams which explains my slow-down of posts ! But I'm back and I have so many posts to write I've been really inspired lately ! Anyway , enough of my talking and check out my fave make-up !



 I know . This isn't make-up but I thought I'd just include my three favorite nail polishes right now . They are alll from Barry M . The only thing bad I have to say is about the 216 Silver Cascade . It is horribly hard to remove this nailpolish therefore I only wear it on occasions ... I was actually really disappointed by this because apart from that the glitter is amazing .





These are the two mascaras I use . They are absolutely amazing together because the Sexy Curves gives you a whole lot of volume which is exactly what I need just because I have the most dull eyelashes . Glam'eyes is great for separating your lashes . But Glam'eyes on it's own is pretty damn crappy. This is what it says on the product : " Ultra Volume . high-definition mascara" Uhm , yeah right . If you are looking for a volumizing mascara this is definitely the last mascara you want to buy. Sexy Curves claims are by a mile more accurate : "For fuller curvier lashes " ! ( The two mascaras are from RIMMEL.)

 This product has been having a whole lot of good reviews and people saying it is the best highlighter. For those of you who don't know this is the Touche Eclat by YSL. I put this on whenever my eyes look really tired and to be honest it totally lightens my face up and covers perfectly my dark circles ! So if you have any bad dark circles you probably want to get this product .

 Although this lip gloss is form H&M it is by far my favorite tint of gloss I have ever tried . I've been trying to look for something like this in other brands but I don't seem to find anything ! It's just this nude-pinky kinda lip gloss and for some reason it suits me really well !

 This is the l'Oreal Contour Kohl in Jet Black. I do wear this eyeliner from time to time but because it easily gets smudged it kind of annoys me . Plus , I don't have a whole lot of time in the morning to put on make-up before going to school!
 I wear this gloss on a daily basis. Sadly , the number and name of this lip gloss has faded ! BOO

  I wear this one from time to time but it's a pretty neon-y color so it really depends on my outfit and my mood ! LOL

 Here are the colors of the two lip glosses and the eyeliner .

Last but not least , my foundation . This is a pretty cheap foundation that I got probably a year ago when I still wasn't wearing foundation often and I just wanted to try it out. So I didn't want to invest too much in it and it's actually really good ! It's oil free , talc free and fragrance free but most importantly ? It doesn't give me break-outs and it lasts for a LONG time ! I actually just went to check out reviews on this product and I have only read good things about it ! DEFINITELY a cheap but good foundation .

I'm actually having my dinner right now and it's 11pm . ! On the menu ? Pasta and a slice of meat with carrots and green tea cake ! haha I'll probably do a post on that !

This is the first time I kind of do a favorites post do you want me to do more of these ? I'm thinking of doing a what's in my shower post ... What else do you want me to blog on ? Please leave comments below with your ideas ! :) 

Love you all , 

Goodnight

Candle-lovers

I know that a lot of people are obsessed with candles . Especially Yankee Candles or Satkin and co ? Anywho , my point is that because we don't have all of these brands here in the UK they are less accessible to us therefore we need to find a way . Well , check it out . I recently got this candle by Brissi . There have very few shops here so you may or may not have seen them (FYI They have shops in Marylebone and Clapham). My point is , I got one of their candles , Fruits d'Epices which is a mixture of mulberry , bergamot and vanilla enveloped in spicy black pepper. You guys , this candle is UHHHH-MAZING . I mean I have never smelt a candle that smells as delicious as this one. Even when I don't burn the candle the smell spreads in my room . I know the names of the stuff in there don't sound familiar but boy do they smell good . This is definitely a product I would recommend for all my fellow British readers .!


The only thing you may not like about this product is the price ! It's £22 . Okay , I know it's a lot for a candle but because the candle has a burning time of 40 hours I think it's definitely worth the price. Because those cheap candles you buy at a pound or two i'm pretty sure their life span doesn't exceed 2 hours. 

You should definitely go check out one of their stores they always have amazing accessories for home and just bits of stuff here and there !

Peace out
