Floral

Wore this out when I was forced to go see The Dark Knight for the second time. Not that it isn't a great movie but sitting through three hours of Bruce Wayne and Bane breathing heavily at each other can take its toll on a girl.



I was cracking up today at the thought that there was no way in hell I'd be able to wear a dress this light in Aberdeen. Right now my poor Grampians are still wearing coats and scarves, I'm stunned I managed to live there for almost 2 years, the weather is abominable.



Zara floral shift dress sold out but similar HERE
Topshop gladiator sandals get them in silver HERE, I love these HERE
Prada baroque sunnies mine are brown, you can get them in black HERE and I found these tobi.com Darla sunglasses that look almost identical but at a whopping fraction of the cost HERE






The picture below isn't very clear, I forgot to take a picture of my eyebrows so I had to make do with zooming and cropping a regular picture. Anyway I went to get my eyebrows threaded the day before and the lady suggested I tint them which I'd never done before. Normally my hair grows sparsely, which is a great thing because I have longer depilatory intervals than most people but it means I have the eyebrows of a new born. Without the application of a brow pencil I look bald up top.

Anyhoo I got them tinted and now I'm a convert! Its amazing, I swear to you in these photos I only used a brow pencil to outline the brows and my regular concealer and that's all. Everything there is mine....well heavily tinted but mine nevertheless.



I wake up in the morning and I don't look like the "before" picture that those evil make-up artists use.

*sidebar if any make-up artist ever releases a "before" picture of me to advertise her work I'll give her an enema with an ELF brush. I heard most of them don't even ask their customers before they go posting their before and after pictures all over the internet. Too harsh*

Forgive me if I sound a tad over-excited I'm just surprised I didn't try it sooner. Like I've seen people do it where I get my brows threaded but it just never occurred to me to try it out. I'm so sold now and once I love something I can become its unofficial spokesperson without permission.

Since I'm a Mac girl "all day errrday" *in the voice of Scrappys momma* I hightailed it to the Mac site to buy an eyebrow tint home kit but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, I might have to go to a Mac stand to be certain they don't have it. I found this RefectoCil Eyebrow and Eyelash Tint Kit in Brown though which came heavily recommended so when the colour I have on fades which will be in about 4 to 6 weeks by then I'll be back in Nigeria then I can get to tinting my brows myself.

Exciting times my people, exciting times.

Love and light xx

    1. I'm saving Ted for this weekend, def going to see it. The dress was one of those impulse sale buys, I didn't really like it at first but it went down so low I felt I had to have it, luckily I managed to fall in love. Re eyebrows, thanks!
