Glitter Detector Giveaway Win!

A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to win Marta's awesome giveaway over at her blog Glitter Detector. Marta is a really lovely girl, so I would definitely recommend checking out her blog. I won this lovely OCC Lip Tar, and it's the first one I've ever tried. 

I chose the shade Grandma, which is a bright pinky-coral type shade. I think this product will last for ages, because you only need the smallest amount when you apply. The staying power is also amazing, so I would thoroughly recommend the Lip Tars. 


I'd like to thank Marta for hosting such a generous giveaway, and I hope that you will all check out her blog!

LEHAPPY

I'm sure many of you will be familiar with Lua's blog - Le Happy, if not then you should check it out! This is an illustration that I based on her, as I think she has really great style.


I also love her hair!

Roses are red...

I thought I would post about something a little different today. Seeing as Titanic has just been re-released in 3D, I decided to watch it again, and the first thing that impressed me was the costume and accessory designs. I especially loved Rose's dragonfly hair comb, so I thought I would have a little look online for some similar pieces.

I came across a lovely jewellery shop called Roses are Red. They stock all sorts of things from necklaces to bracelets, and each design has a vintage feel. 

I also managed to find these amazing hair combs, reminiscent of the Edwardian/Victorian era, and they are just gorgeous. I really like the attention to detail, and I think they would be ideal for wearing to a wedding or party. 

The prices are also very reasonable with these hair combs coming in at £7.50 and £8.50. Roses are Red are even offering a 10% discount on you first order! 

I hope you'll all check out the website!

Oh Hell

You might remember that a little while ago, I posted about the Manchester based clothing company, Oh Hell. Well, I liked them so much that I decided to do an illustration of one of their t-shirts! I'd really recommend checking out their site, as they have loads of lovely t-shirts in stock, and it's always nice to support a small company. 


I don't think the one featured in this illustration is actually available yet, but hopefully it will be soon.

DanniMays

Last week, the lovely Danni who runs DanniMays Jewellery Boutique asked me to design some illustrations of her, that could be used for business cards etc. It was really fun to draw her, and I'm really happy with how they turned out! I'm excited to see them on the business cards now! Danni was lovely to work with, and I would recommend checking out her lovely shop. 


I've included some of the pieces that I like the best, I especially love the leaf ear-rings, and I could definitely imagine myself wearing them. 


All the prices are really reasonable too!

I love Wildfox

I really love pretty much everything from Wildfox, so when I saw this photo I thought it would make a cute painting. 


This piece was originally done in watercolour and pen, but I added a few extra details in Photoshop, and just tidied it up a bit. 


I'm really pleased with how it turned out, especially the touch of glitter on her eyelids!

My First Giveaway Win!

(sorry about the quality of photo's - I'm not very good with a camera!)


I just wanted to show you guys the lovely prizes I won from Milly's recent give-away. She writes a great blog called Mini Adventures, and I would recommend checking it out! Milly posts wish lists, outfit posts, and make-up reviews - basically all the things I love reading about! 


Anyway, I really love all of my prizes. I got a gorgeous bronze coloured charm bracelet, and some Ed Hardy body lotion which smells lovely. Milly even included a cute little postcard which I have displayed on my coffee table at the moment.


I hope you will all pop over to Milly's blog and have a look.
