QUICK BEAUTY FIX – OUTER LASHES.

I remember watching a program about Glee where Dianna revealed that she asked to have false eyelashes fitted as part of her characters ‘look’.  Dianna felt that this would add to her ‘mean/popular’ girl look for the first season.

It is true as well eyelashes can make a big different to your eyes.

I’ve looked at Quinn’s eyelashes and it looks like they have accentuated and opened up the sides of her eyes with falsies..

Can you see at the edge of her eyes (through the tears!) that she has full and flicked out lashes at the side?

This was my attempt at recreating this look..


It didn’t take me long to do this and I felt it made quite a difference to my eyes.

I used Eyelure Individual False Eyelashes for this look.  In the pack you get short, medium and long lashes – you are supposed to start with the short ones nearest your nose and then work your way out to the sides of your eyes gradually using the longer lashes.  They are VERY fiddly to use though – the glue and positioning them all etc – yuck.  I do not think I would have the patience.  So all I did for this look was used two medium length lash extensions and literally just place them near the edge of the eye.  I have slept on them for a couple of nights now and haven’t lost one yet but I can’t see them staying there for four weeks like the packet states.

For a quick and easy technique though it is worth a go – if you want a big change and a full set I would say see a professional and pay to get it done properly – if I had to do a full set on each eye I would have been there for an hour+ I’m sure.

This is a nice quick beauty fix though…more photos below!

Keira Knightley sparkles in her Mary Katrantzou dress at a photocall for new movie A Dangerous Method at the Venice Film Festival.

Very flattering shape on her, liking her hair at the moment and the print is really interesting and intricate!

The soft pink shoes are a nice take on the ‘nude’ look too.

I think it’s been great for the UK having #Bradgelina over for the summer!  They’ve taken in lots of tourist attractions already on their stay here but yesterday it was all about the shopping!

Luckily Angelina chose the UK shop ‘French Connection’ which I would class as a more expensive high street shop.

Angelina spent £1,300 on her haul, but luckily for us French Connection has great sales and also has a few outlet stores around the UK!

Angelina bought three pieces from French Connection’s Classics range – the mustard camisole, £42, white top, £67 and black midi skirt, £72, she also purchased two charm necklaces and a nice faux fur coat for Zahara!

Beautiful! She looks amazing and this dress is very flattering – notice how the design gives the impression of the body being slimmer!  Kate is at the Venice Film Festival!

Hey guys here is a quick and easy style for your hair!

I plaited my hair yesterday and it looked nice but the trouble with that style for me is the next day! My hair is quite soft so when I put a brush through the plaited hair it goes really frizzy!

This is what I did with my hair today with only four flower clips from Claire’s Accessories:

It was really easy to do!

  • Put a side parting into your hair
  • Separate your hair at the back into two sections
  • Roll your hair into a loose bun around a finger – one section at a time
  • Pin your hair secure with a flower clip – one for each bun
  • Place the other two clips further ‘up’ your hair – you can clip any stray bits of hair back
  • Use bobby pins to further secure your hair if needed
  • Spray with hair spray!
  • If you want to vary the look you can further divide your hair into more sections or pull the buns into different positions on your head!
  • You can also ‘pull’ at the buns to make them a bit looser
  • It’s not meant to look perfect though – you want to look like a hippy summer chick by the end!

Here’s some more photos and a link to Claire’s website, I have a pack of the pink and white flowers!
