Its been a while!...

Hello Everyone!


I hope your all well. I'm really sorry about the length of time I haven't posted for, I have been so unbelievably hectic with uni and such stuff! But have no fear i am back and have LOTS to talk talk about hehe! So this might be a bit of a long one...
So firstly i hope everyone had a lovely Mothers Day! My mum an sis came up to London an we went to Planet Hollywood in Leicester Square! It was so yummy we had Nachos to start and Steak for main (the diet wasn't going too well this day!) We also called into Tiger Tiger before hand for some cocktails! Everyday they have 50% off drinks between 5-8pm so we took full advantage! My mum really enjoyed herself even though she wore the highest heels so her feet were killing - NIGHTMARE!


Moving on I very naughtily got myself a NewLook store card! So yesterday I went shopping as I was going out last night. I rewarded myself with this as I got an A in my presentation at uni :) I found some real bargains...these gorgeous chino trousers were £22.99 plus an extra 10% off with a NUS card and are ideal for the warmer months! They come in 4 different colours and look lush with a pair of wedges! http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/trousers/button-detail-chino-trousers_216571273

As the trousers are quite thick i wanted a cool, blousey style top to go with it so I chose this beautiful cream sleeveless shirt which i tucked into the trousers! The image isn't available for the colour I got but here's an example of the top http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/shirts-and-blouses/ruffle-tunic-blouse_217131482 Its quite long so could also be worn with leggings. £18.99

I was really desperate for a new clutch as i wear the same standard black number on all occasions so i got this lovely one, not too big but does hold my makeup bag :D This was just £9.99 http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/handbags-and-purses/butterfly-plate-cross-body-bag_218194113

This is it all together:

These trousers were really tight so I got them in a 12 rather than a 10.

So moving swiftly on i went to SugarHut last Thursday and had a fabulous time! I went for my friend Simon's birthday and to stalk The Only Way Is Essex cast! Hence The Only Way Is Lorna lol! It was surprisingly cheap, £5 to get in and only £4 for a large Rose! Although it was really fun nobody really seems to dance, they just sort of stand there! So its a great place to pose really! I also met Joey Essex which is officially my claim to fame! Here's myself, Simon, Sally an Jess doing our damn thing!!http://www.sugarhutbrentwood.com/
Not really the best photo of me lol!

So next up is a little section on eyeshadows! I'm not going to go too much into detail as I will do this in a separate post. But just to let you all know I'm hoping to start doing freelance make-up as I enjoy it so much so figured its a pretty good idea. As feedback is extremely important to me I'm going to start posting some make-up I've applied and different tips and would really love to know what you think! My inspiration behind my passion for make-up is a lady called Lauren Luke who started her career by posting make-up tutorials on YouTube. Since then she's had millions of hits and is a true Rags to Riches story. She has books and her own make-up line and even an IPhone app! You view her videos on http://www.youtube.com/user/panacea81?blend=1&ob=4 and can subscribe! I have her first book and it fabulous! Allows to follow tutorials on all your favourite celeb makeup and some ideas of her own!

You can purchase this off Amazon for around £8.99

If you lovely experimenting with new colours then you should definitely get this 120 eyeshadow palette! I got it for just £8 off ebay although it does take a while to come as it from Japan! Here are some pics of it!
120 beautiful colours!

Look how vibrant they are!

Lovely blues and Yellows
Even some gorgeous marble effect colours!
Cant wait to try the green!

So before I pop off id just like to show you some make up I applied last night! focusing mainly on the eyes! I used my Urban Decay set as I hadn't received this palette until this morning!
Very Dark Eyes!

To achieve this look was extremely simple! 
I will be posting video tutorials within my blogs in a few weeks so will show you this look step by step then! I just need to sort out a mic and stuff first!

Well thats it for today I promise I wont leave you for this length of time again! Please leave you comments as they are invaluable to me :)

Much Love,

Lorna xoxox
