ABC


Just thought I'd post one of my creations. I know it's not much, but it took me SO long - roughly 3 hours - so I thought it would be a good idea to share them with the blogging world. I'm doing a project on Typography at the moment, in Graphics and this was one of my first ideas. Nearly finished it now, and I can definitely say I won't be doing them for my final piece. EFFORT.

My First MAC Product


This is my very first MAC product ever. How is it that I haven't ever used MAC but have a beauty blog? Perhaps because I'm not entirely with it. But what better time to start than now? After buying a True Match Loreal Foundation in W7, I very clumsily dropped it in my Bathroom and it went.. EVERYWHERE. Quite literally. All up the walls, all over the floor and carpet and in my shower. Grr. After the short outburst of tantrums, I decided it was a sign that I needed better foundation. So... MAC it was. Me and the Boyfriend went on a search in the Old Lanes and finally found it. The woman was really lovely, and made me look fab for my interview later that day (which went very well, and I'm hoping to hear from them tomorrow..)
Studio Sculpt SPF 15 Foundation in NC40 - MAC


 I'll be wearing the new foundation tomorrow when I take my weekly GROW photo. And Christmas has come early for me. A new set of PJ's just in time for the cold autumn/winter months.
Hope you have a lovely start to the week!

New Buys

Hello sweeties!
I've changed my blog around a bit ie. New name (which may be quite confusing to you)...
I found 'Follower of Fashion' a bit too long for a blog name so I decided my name was much more relevant. Hope you're all OK and have a good rest of the week! ♥
The sunlight was too bright but this was my hair 10 minutes after I used Fudge's Urban Texture Blaster

Blazer - Topshop £65
White Cotton Shirt - Topshop £28
Belt - Topshop £12
Vintage - Urban Outiftters Renewal £40
Lace Tights - M&S £3


So these items have been on my Beauty Wish list (which I really need to start blogging about) for a while and I finally found the time to go and buy them. I looked all over Brighton for the St. Moriz Tanning Mousse but couldn't find any so I bought this on eBay.
This Fudge Urban Texture Blaster is my new best friend! I cannot stop using it and I have pretty much got through my mum's canister in about a week.
What it says "Blast your hair with texture, without the stickiness of a paste. Urban Texture Blaster allows you to create, shape and hold your style with this super flexible aerosol. Spray in and mess it up for maximum texture or spray all over to lock in your style."

St Moriz Instant Self Tanning Mousse - £2.99
Fudge Urban Texture Blaster - £3.99 ♥

Literally SUCH a cringey photo but this was my hair at 5:00pm when I'd used the Urban Texture Blaster at about 11am and it's kept my hair tip top! No hairbrush has been used in the making of this photograph. (Bear in mind my hair is naturally straight)

And this is my new ring... This was a total impulse buy but not one I'll regret. I love it.
Ring - Brighton Vintage Store (Unknown name) £8

From left to right:
Stall in the Brighton Lanes - £5
Set of 3 - Accessorize £2.50
Silver, white stone ring - Vintage Store £8

Vintage Yumminess

Went to a Vintage Fashion Fair today and would have taken my SLR but didn't know what it would be like... I saw lots of beautiful things; dresses, jewellery, handbags, records, radios... The list goes on.
I saw this necklace and knew I had to get it, and for £4 pound, I can't help but think it was a bargain (but I may be mistaken)...
Pearls - Grandmother's
Chain with pearls and beads - Accessorize £12 (2 years ago)
Beaded necklace - Vintage Fashion Fair of Brighton £4
