OOTD: A Sunny Sunday Luncheon

Hello my lovlies,

So after the fun and frolic's of the Aussie event on Saturday night, I woke up absolutely famished. I was thrilled to see the sun had come out from behind the clouds, so I was able to get the pins out again!

My parents, the boy and I all went for lunch at a restaurant called Mama Rosa's, which is in a little place called Merton Abbey Mills. Merton Abbey Mills is really tucked away and it has lots of stalls, quaint little shops, two pubs, loads of food places, a bandstand and a river, you would never guess it was actually in London.

So we sat outside the restaurant, ate yummy food, looked over the river and listened to jazz music being played on the bandstand.

Here is the break down of what I wore...






































Dress, Primark
Floral denim jacket, Primark
Eiffel Tower and Poodle necklace, Primark
Daisy ring & earrings, Primark...Are we spotting a trend here?!
Tan satchel, Next
Corsage sandals, River Island

Aussie Colour Mate Party

The eagerly anticipated Aussie Colour Mate party took place on Saturday night. The Colour Mate tribe have patiently waited for our event, getting green eyed at all the other Aussie Tribes photographs and blog posts from their events that have been staggered throughout the year. But last, but not least, the day of our party finally arrived, and it was worth the wait!

So I got my glad rags on and headed off for destination, the Kingly Club, Soho.

I was allowed to bring two friends to party with me, I opted for just one, and of course that was my bestie, Nicola.


When we finally found the club, which is really tucked away in Kingly Court, picking up several bloggers on the way, we really did enter like a tribe! We were greeted by a table of Moet...

And of course, the lovely Emma.

After a few glasses of champers while we waited for other bloggers to arrive, we were joined by two very special guests.

Thats right ladies...Lady GaGa and Beyonce showed up to show their support for Aussie!

By now the party was getting in full swing, and we were mooching with all the other bloggers, having a natter.

Here I am with the lovely Milly, Claire, Ling and of course me & Nicola.

After an introduction from Emma, we had a demo and chat with two Aussie resident stylists Amber and Zara. The demonstrated a fish tail plait on Ling, and we all had a natter about any past hair disasters and shared any little tips.

After the demo, the stylists set up in the corner ready to pamper and style everyones hair, whilst we enjoyed our lovely cocktails and the entertainment Lady GaGa and Beyonce provided.


Here are the girls jotting down some tips for the tip boxes that were staggered about the event, which will later be made into an Aussie Style Bible for each of us to own.

If you would like to have a nosey at any more of the piccys, please do check out the Aussie flickr account here.

It was an excellent evening provided by Aussie yet again, and it was wonderful to meet all the beautiful bloggers. Massive appreciation to everyone at 1000 Heads, Aussie, The Kingly Club and of course GaGa and Beyonce!

We have love for Aussie..!


After everyone left, we were the last remaining, (true party animals, ha!) but I'll save those piccys for my Facebook!

We left just after midnight, swinging our little purple goodie bags as we trotted homeward bound after a truely brilliant night was had by all.

REVIEW: Eyeko Cream - Extra Glow

Good morning my pretties :)

I hope you are all well, it's my day off today, so I thought I would knock out a couple of blogs for you that I have been waiting for a bit of spare time to do. I really need to get my MacBook fixed so that I can blog in the evenings in my bedroom, then there would be loads of entries. But for now I'm using my home PC whenever I get the chance. Anyway, before I bore you, lets get on to the review...

Yesterday I went downstairs to see that the postman had left a small package for me, it turned out to be from the lovlies at Eyeko, and as the title says, it's their brand new product, Eyeko Cream - Extra Glow.

Extra Glow is due for release on their website, http://www.eyeko.com/ in two weeks time, but you can pre-order it now, and it's retailing at £8.


Extra Glow is a 3 in 1 cream, a highlighter, a moisturiser and an eye cream.


What Eyeko say...

Limited Edition Eyeko Cream with Extra Glow

New and Exclusive! Eyeko Cream with Extra Glow is a multitasking highlighter with all the benefits of your favourite cult classic Eyeko Cream. This NEW dreamy pink cream is loaded with micro light reflecting pigments perfect for creating a soft focus sheen. Add flattering highlights to cheek bones, your cupids bow, even collar bones and shins for a touch of moonlight magic.

Creating the illusion of perfect skin has never been simpler with Eyeko Cream with Extra Glow!



This is how the cream comes out at first before it's blended onto the skin. It isn't as thick as you would imagine, and it was really easy to blend in.

And blended...

Ta da!

Resulting in a perfect subtle silvery glow.

Out of the three multi uses of this cream, for me, it is definitely a highlighter. Although it isn't packed with glitter or anything like that, it is far to shimmery to be used as a moisturiser. I will be using it on my cheek bones and cupids bow next time I have a night out. (I'll try and remember to do a face of the day to show you all what it actually looks like on my face).

Other than one nail polish, I'm new to the Eyeko brand, but their products look fun, and I want to try more. So I'm going to go off and have a little browse around their website now.

If anyone is interested in purchasing this product, why don't you pick up something else as well, because if you spend over £10 and enter 101 in the special comments box at the checkout, you can receive a free gift!

Loves,

Nails of the Day

Yesterday I had my nails taken off, and a new set put on. Now I normally have the "pink and white" done. This is the most expensive set, at £30 a full set and £20 an in-fill.

The difference is, instead of just using a pink acrylic, they put a white acrylic on the top (where your french tip would be) and a pink at the bottom, this obviously prevents the chipping of the white polish or air brush. And I really rate it, it is worth paying the extra to have nails that go the two weeks without being all chipped and horrible.


However, yesterday, I fancied a change, I felt like having a colour put on my nails instead of the usual pink and white. So I got them to put the normal pink acrylic on, and paint them. This was the outcome...

With flash:

Without flash:

They are shorter than what I would normally have or what I would have liked, but the guy in the salon was a bit clipper happy, and once they're short, there's not a lot you can do. My boyfriends first comment when he saw them was "they're really short". But having a colour on my nails, it probably is best to have them shorter, where as if I had white tips, I'd want them longer.

Anyway, it's change, and of course I can change the colour of them myself, with my many polishes I showed you in my collection post.

I'll probably get bored and go straight back to white tips, but this is them for now.

Loves,
