#2

And so it begins..

Hopefully.. And I say that with so much caution it's almost painful, as the thought of another project beginning which possibly will not be followed through to the end hits me.

This is hopefully the start of a series of Self- portraits and blogs that will include masques.


You've been warned.. Be prepared for an influx of posts from me or nothing.. This could be the last I speak of it..

But I suppose that is the intended mystery and elusiveness behind the masque.

Just thought

I'd share a picture of my face with you guys.
:)

What the Water gave me.

Just what to share with you the new song from Florence and the Machine..
I really have a love/hate with them, I love the Music but am not to keen on their image.

'What the Water Gave Me' - Florence and the Machine

As long as the music Is this Good I'm not going anywhere.


This is the type of music that my heart is made of..
So Thank you Florence..


What do you guys think?

Style or Sty: Francis Bean Cobain 19th , Florence Welch for Vogue And Katie Holmes

So I have a couple of things to show you guys that I'm pretty excited about.
This past week was the 19th birthday of Francis Bean Cobain. The date was marked with a undeniably beautiful photoshoot with Rocky Schenck.


I won't say I'm a fan because she hasn't exactly 'done' anything, (she hasn't used her name to get her fame, unlike other celebrity offspring/siblings)..


But none-the-less, I am so incredible proud of her, she could have gone down a long spiraling path but she has stayed out of harms way and out of the spotlight and everyone seems to respect her that much more for it. Which means any future career choice of hers will be taken seriously.

I hope she gets everything she deserves from life and has a good one.. Like I said, I'm soo proud of her.
She is a beautiful, confident Lady with the brighest of futures ahead of her, I can wait to see what she does.

What do you think of her look in this photoshoot. Style or Sty. I personally think 'Style', she looks amazing.


On another note.

Have you seen the Cover of Vogue Japan for October 2011 yet?
Florence Welch of the Band Florence and the machine is set to grace the cover, looking a little like Karl Lagerfeld.
She was Styled by Chanel's Creative Director and is wearing a Chinoiserie-Style Suit, giving her a break for her usual floaty, floral ensembles. But this is a look every has come to know as the 'Lagerfeld look' and he has been known to turn his clients into versions of himself.


I love Little Miss Florence and Karl Lagerfeld, but I'm stuck on this, I'm not sure if I like it. I mean, The garments are beautiful and put together well, but I reckon the whole 'ftm' transformation for editorials is a little past it... hmm

So what do you guys think, Style or Sty?

Lastly.

I've just come across this picture of Katie Holmes.
I don't know whether the garments just don't match, or that they do but the whole thing just doesn't suit her or her body type. It could even be just a dodgey camera angle. This has really left me confused.
I won't say anything other than.. Style or Sty.




Let me know what you think on all of the people mentioned.. Style or Sty.

Lime Crime: Lip Noir.

I came across Lime Crime a while ago on my hunt for a lipstick that kept bright colour but still had a gloss finish. It got to a point where I was paying £35+ for dozens of lipsticks that promised bright colours but were actually very faint and watered down.
When I first ordered lipsticks from them, I basically melted in Lime Crimes Palm. I didn't think I'd ever use another lipstick again.
Until I desired the almighty Black lipstick, I searched through numerous brands looking for the perfect black but was once again facing the same problems, too faint and only 'tinted' your lips black.

My prayers have been answered. Today I discovered this new lipstick line from Lime Crime, My Gothic heart squeal with joy.

They are introducing Three New colours, Black(Styletto), Grey(Chinchilla) and a Sexy Deep red (Glamour 101). I personally can not wait to get my hands on all three of them and will be doing countless reviews on them and showing them of to anyone I get the chance too.

September 1 is the big release day, so get them whilst you can from here.

Skin Care: Blemishes, Dryness and Dark Circles

Hey guys, I'm Back. I always see posts from followers and friends about these topics and as Fashionand Beauty blog, I'm hear to supply you with advice.

I’m going to share with your some amazing simple tips for you skin that actually work..

Blemishes and Spots: Especially blackheads and whiteheads. Remove your make up and wet your face. Mix aprx. 1teaspoon of Bicarbonate of soda with a couple of drop of water in the palm of your hand to form a paste. Using circle motions, rub this on to your skin, avoiding the eyes. If you already have dry skin use 3-4 days days a week. If you have quite hydrated or oily skin, it is fine to use this everyday..This will dry your skin out anyway so use then next step straight away to reduce effects of drying out. Available at most grocery stores.

Dryness: Use ‘Aqueous cream BP’, it is a very low cost, very effective moisturiser, which can be washed away with water to act as a soap/cleaner too. It is available in most pharmacys and drugstore, dollar stores, the internet.. Either way it will only cost a couple of dollars/Pounds.. I bought a 500ml tub for £1.29.. If you have had eczema, you are most likely to have been prescribed this too.

Dark Circles: This is AMAZINGG, honestly. I can’t remeber how I found this out but It’s .. idk…. Slices of raw potato.. Yes.. Cut slices like people do with cucumbers.. Your might want to cut them into semi-circles so they fit under your eyes. But basically Raw potato is a natural bleach and removes( mostly) dark circles from underneath the eyes. Leave them there for about 15mins, then wash your face, because you’ll smell like a potato.

Guy, I wanted to share these with you because I think they are too amazing to not share..
