make-up, alice & other things


well today, this evening i went to see alice in wonderland, as i'm sure at least one of my followers did also (yes you ashley, much love) and i have very high regard for johnny depp in a kilt and stripey tights!! and i really think the wardrobe department did amazingly on alice's many dresses... so much love for that!! particularly the creation to the left that i'm completely in love with... also i might like to add that mia wasikowska is a very beautiful girl, especially with her newly short elfin hair!
i thoroughly enjoyed myself, partly due to the fact i scoffed a sundae of baskin robbins blue raspberry sherbet & cherries jubilee ice cream with hot fudge sauce and the dinkiest marshmallows known to man! but mainly due to the funniness, the braveness, the beauty of the film in front of me, if you haven't seen it, go see it now!! now i tell you!
so onto the next thing i wanna say, i'm now married and my sailor has gone away as always, but i cope we all cope, we all struggle through, today i had a very bad day on that front, things went tits up in some other parts of life and well the first thing i want to do is turn to him, and right now, that's not possible. that's the hardest thing. not have thatperson to turn to... knowing he's out there somewhere thinking of me makes me so so happy & all of you have people that love you, family and friends, boyfriends and husbands. appreciate what you have, enjoy your time together as it won't last forever. so enough of the sadness and onto something all us girls love a bit of make-up!!
Firstly on the theme of alice i wanna send out a link to you guys well a couple actually :) firstly i wanna give you a couple links to make-up looks from alice in wonderland from kandee johnson, she is a wonderful lady & she makes me smile! despite what anyone might say about her, someone that makes my day brighter is not a bad person in my book! so firstly we have: http://www.youtube.com/profile?gl=US&user=kandeejohnson#p/u/21/wyMj4RSNXRY
the lovely mad hatter & secondly for those of you who want to play a girl...... the red queen!http://www.youtube.com/profile?gl=US&user=kandeejohnson#p/u/18/nTl3ePEmhi4
hope you enjoy them & maybe it'll give you some ideas for your next costume party, i think i may have to have a tim burton party one of these days... so many wonderful characters and costumes to pick from, especially with the addition of alice in wonderland which i might add is my favourite book, and i have my eye on a version illustrated by ralph steadman, becuase he rocks obviously.
now one last thing i want to recommend this glitter eyeliner becuase it's a real staple of my makeup bag and i have almost every colour, there have been new ones come out since my last purchase! how dare they sneak that past me!? but seriously i love them as a liner for top & bottom or for all over my lid on those adventurous evenings :) http://www.collection2000.co.uk/products/eyes/eye-liner/glam-crystals-dazzling-gel-liners/?id_Palette=293
I've never & i mean NEVER come across a better glitter eyeliner in all my life and i've tried some stupidly expensive ones and regretted it...
so on that note night night world!

today is 14 days

in two weeks exactly (at 1pm) i am getting married, to who i can only describe as the man of my dreams.... i'm not gonna go into that because i can't stand being a wedding bore!
so what i'm really here to do is recommend a dress, or should i say WISH for a dress, a beautiful dress :



You can buy it on http://www.net-a-porter.com/am/product/61597?cm_mmc=LinkshareUS-_-ProductFeed-_-Diane+von+Furstenberg-_-Dresses&siteID=Hy3bqNL2jtQ-Y2P2i4BNZvGtj5.03lcapA



i would personally wear it with some cobalt super high stilettos like these bordello ones :

well basically i'm new!

I'm new, I've never blogged before and i really have nothing to say, i am a young (25 is young right?) woman who is soon to be married and is currently fully in the swing of the last minute wedding plans!
so basically, i READ a lot of blogs, and i figure maybe i should start one, we'll see what comes of it :)

i guess it's my first blog so I'll tell you a little about myself, i work in retail because i love people and i love my work mates to bits which is really important to me. I'm getting married in 18 days to my sailor who isn't here right now but will make it home in 11 days... which will be a relief, and well it's the most wonderful feeling to a soon to be naval wife to have him home. i have a passion for fashion, make-up, tv... there will most likely be lots of 'what i bought today' & 'what i watched today' blogs, i watch alot of films and as i said i will sprobably be recommending some blogs and webpages i use regularly...
lastly i collect a couple things, momiji dolls being the main victim, and batmobile models and general batman paraphinalia also!

so that's just an idea of what i might talk about!

quick recommendation for today is use soap & glory hand food http://www.soapandglory.com/products/bath-body/hand-food?fromSearch=c2hvdz1hbGwmb3JkZXJieT1kYXRlJm9yZGVyPWRlc2MmY2F0ZWdvcmllcyU1QiU1RD0xMDc==
i've been using on a daily basis up to the wedding and it's working better, and smelling nicer than any other handcream i've used although if i'm having trouble sleeping i have a cheap lavender handcream that really helps me switch off (sometimes an issue!)

so that's all for now, i'm gonna leave you all to it as i talk too much and i don't know if anyone will even look at this... leave comments if you do and maybe let me knwo if you are interested in product reviews or shopping tips or what?!?
