My Jewellery shop

I shall soon be starting up an online jewellery shop!
Excited?! ;)
I'm making bracelets inspired by different Disney princesses!
So far I have made Giselle, Ariel, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White! 
I am making some as gifts, but as I had to buy the charms in bulk, thought I woulds sell a few.
Let me know if you are interested and what your thoughts are. 
Also if you have any ideas of other princesses! :D

Here are pictures of the Ariel and Cinderella ones:

Cherry Blossom Nail-art Tutorial


What I used:
Cotton Buds/Q-tips
Sellotape
False Nails
Nail polishes of my choice:
Barry M - Blue Moon
Elf - Innocent
China Glaze - Sunset Sail
Models own Black nail art pen
Bourjois - Blanc Glamour
 Seche Vite topcoat

After making I sure I had 10 nails that all fit, I stuck them to the ends of cotton buds with sellotape, which makes painting them easier. (If you are doing this on your own nails, you can skip this step!)
I made sure that both the thumb nails were stuck to the same cotton bud and so on.

I then painted 2 coats of the light blue (I used Barry M - Blue Moon) and left it do dry completely.

Then I dripped some of both of the the light pinks (Elf - Innocent & China Glaze - Sunset Sail) onto a piece of plastic. 

I used a makeup sponge to lightly dab a mixture of the two over the blue.
This is optional of course, but I like the effect it gave!

When that was completely dry, I used my Black Models own nail art pen to paint the branches. 

Next use a dotting tool (I used a hairpin bent out of shape!!) dipped in the white nailpolish to make the blossoms. I did 4 dots for some of them, and 3 for the other.


  When that was dry, I put on dot (Elf - Innocent) in the middle of each blossom.
I finished with a Seche Vite topcoat!

[I used Nailene 200 full cover nails - Petite Square]
{sorry that some of the pictures are super blurry...I was using my phone camera :P}

Did you enjoy my first tutorial? ;)

Foundation for Pale Skin

I thought I would share today about the makeup product that I have found the hardest to get right!
I'm pale so I really struggle to find a foundation that is light enough. 
My skin type is as follows: Very pale, abit oily, pink undertones, red cheeks (mild Rosacea maybe). 
The red cheeks are actually the only reason I wear foundation. I like my skin other than that! :)
The different brands I have tried are: Natural Collection, Miss Sporty, Maybelline, Bourjois, Rimmel, L'Oreal...and finally REVLON! (I always buy the palest shade of each brand.) 
Let me explain the issues I found with each one:-
Natural Collection: Too orange and just generally not amazing quality, you pay for what you get.

Miss Sporty Light Energy: Quite a nice foundation, but still too dark

Maybelline Pure Mineral: Too Orange, good coverage though

Bourjois Healthy Mix: Very happy with this, but ever so slightly too oily perhaps.

L'Oreal True Match : Too runny, and abit too yellowy for me. Good foundation, just not for me.

Rimmel Lasting Finish: Too orange, they clearly don't understand that 'Ivory' means off-white! ><

Revlon Colorstay Combination/Oily Skin: The foundation of my dreams! <3

I can explain sometime why I love this foundation so much, if anyone is interested!
Do any of you struggle to find foundations to match your skintone??

All opinions expressed here are my own, I know from reading many blogs that some of the above foundations are perfect for some people, just not for me. 
I hope that my thoughts will help some other pale skinned girls!
