ZOMG Blogger Bash!

The beautiful Zoe (the london lipgloss) held a great bash for bloggers to launch her lipstick!


Named "ZOMG" (pronounced ZO-my-god) is a gorgeous bright fuschia pink and suits Zoe down to a T!


The swatch felt creamy and moisturizing and any lips would pucker up perfectly with this shade. 

There were a lot of activities for everyone to do... icing cupcakes was very much one of the first things I did! Tupperware of lots of delightful, yummy things including fudge, jelly beans, chocolate chips... mmm.


I added a little sugar paper flower to my cake and then once I was finished photographing my masterpiece, I gobbled the yummy treats!


The party thrived with such a big collection of bloggers! Can you spot who everyone is? 


Brought along were some lipsticks from through the ages along with make up books showing how to achieve the look of each decade before us. 


It was a wonderful insight into make up history!


And the beautiful Zoe, woman of the hour!!


I caught her jumping about with her beautiful locks that completely matched her lipstick (and personality) wonderfully.

Thanks so much for inviting me, Zoe!

Have you picked up ZOMG yet? What do you think??

Love love and ZOMGlove!!

Ugg Spring Summer 2012

The new Spring Summer collection from Ugg has arrived!!!!!!!

Mandy, (my friend, Fi) & I sauntered down Knightsbridge to the flagship Ugg store so take a closer look...

 
When you think of Ugg, you immediately think of sheepskin boots. For spring/summer, Ugg have brought some really cute wedges and flip flops to roll out into our wardobes. 


To go with the shoes, we have some matching bags - I thought this little handkerchief tie bag was adorable! 


And Ugg also has a range of jackets, parkas and coats to suit the spring weather in the UK to keep you cosy, dry and fashionable at the same time :)


This one is a mix between a poncho and a jacket - it has a belt that pulls the waist in, bringing your figure to the surface. 


As we mosied around the store, we were treated with cute little canapes including these mini lemon meringue pies which were a little too sour for me, but still good nevertheless!



The design of this scarf is beautiful - the orange and blue feathers really bring a splash of colour to any outfit without being to bold.


These understated shoes would look very pretty for everyday wear and the height isn't un-walkable as it has a platform under the toe area. 


These boots are made with a tweed material with a lace up back which I love! The sole does have the sheepskin fluffy interior so its super soft and squishy when you walk down the street. The tweed is so different - I've never seen it on a shoe before. 


And I just had to throw in these navy blue sheepskin boots which I think are fabulous!! They'd go awesome with skinny jeans :D

They also had a fun photobooth so Mandy, Fi & I got in and took a few snaps :P



Champagne is always a winner...


It was a fabulous evening and I loved opening up my eyes to the other products Ugg sell! I hope this brings a new perspective to you too :)

Love love and Ugglove!!

PS I was sent home, tipsy as, with a beautiful blue scarf - which I have yet to photograph... a new post will be coming up soon!

Horizontal Sponged Stripe NOTD



Step 1: Paint the base colour.

Here, I used two coats of OPI Nail Lacquer in Rumple's Wiggin'. 

Step 2: Sponge the horizontal lines.

I applied three stripes of polish onto a sponge - OPI Nail Lacquer in Rumple's Wiggin' and Barry M Nail Paint in 306 Blueberry Ice Cream. I then dabbed the sponge across three of my nails which resulted in a fading horizontal stripe. 


Step 3: Sponge the other horizontal stripes.

Using the same technique, I sponged the other nails with OPI Nail Lacquer in Rumple's Wiggin' and Topshop Nails in Art School. 


Step 4: Adding sparkle!

I felt like a change from using glitter so I chose to use small green star sequins in the centres of my nails to add some sparkle to my manicure, using a touch of 17 Double Gloss Top Coat. 

Step 5: Apply a top coat.

Two coats of Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat have sealed in my design and sequins. I cleaned up the edges using a cotton bud (aka Q-tip) and that's it! 


Hope you like this design :)

Also, I'm always looking for new designs to create so if you have any ideas, leave me a comment and I'll try and put my spin on it. 

Love love and naillove!!
