Halloween FOTD

Hey everyone! I mentioned last week that we had a bit of a party at Guides for Halloween and I said I was going to share my make up look with you. So as promised here we go..


I went as a cat basically because it was easy to do. Just chuck on some black, ears and a tail and job done :P
I found this make up look online here which was a cat look done by MissChevious. As you can see I played about with it a little bit putting the print under my eyes rather than above because of my fringe and i used pink on my lips instead of red. I love this make up look, it was so easy to achieve, basically just a smokey eye with a twist...
There have been some fab make up tutorials out there this year. I particularly loved Lily and Gemma's video for the party they went to at London Dungeons which was on lilypebbles channel here.

What looks at you loving for halloween 2012?

MUA constellation review

If you saw my post from last weekend you will have seen that last Saturday (not the one just gone) when I was in town I managed to pick up the MUA constellation beads in Gemini. I have seen loads about these on the internet and I am always excited to try new things so I thought I would give them a bash. I wasnt overly convinced about the wear of this so I tested them on my mum - she cant wear nail polish for work - she is a nurse - so I put them on Saturday afternoon, just on the ring finger and just on the tip like a french manicure!
I was really impressed with it and it stayed on really well, and my mum is always doing something so her nails come into contact with a lot of things. She found herself having to take most of it off on Sunday night.

Seeing how fab they had come out on my mums nails, I thought I would give them a try on my own nails, so on Saturday I sat down and decided to do it across all of my ring finger like I had seen so many other people doing online.
They looked really well when I first did them, when I first did them. However things started to go wrong pretty much straight away. When I put the top coat on about 1/2 an hour after putting them on - the colours started to run away from the beads. Thinking maybe they just needed time to settle a bit more, I removed the finger it happened on (luckily I hadnt done both fingers straight away) and started again.
When I got up yesterday morning I noticed that half of the beads on my right hand had come off!!! I mean I hadnt exactly done them and then gone straight to bed! But I just topped them up and went off to church!
As the day went on, more and more of the beads appeared to have dropped off... The ones on my right hand have dropped off terribly and started to pull the polish off and the ones on my left have lost all of their colour!!!

Left hand on the left, right hand on the right

I am SO disappointed with this product. To be honest this is probably how i thought the product was going to be! But I mean they shouldn't come off that bad! the middle part of my finger on the right is where the beads have come off a left a small silver circle behind and you can see next to it where the polish has come off. 
I would be seriously disappointed if I had paid more than £3 for these! I think they maybe are more of a gimmick product you would wear for maybe one night out and then take off the next day but it is just so disappointing. I am for sure going to take these off tonight when I get in from work.... 

Have you tried these nail beads? Have you had similar problems with the wear of them??? Whats your opinion?

Laura loves...!!!!



If your big up on reading blogs then  you may have seen this beauty knocking around the internet... this is the Ciate Mini Mani Month advent calender.
Now you may already know I have a seriously have a love for nail polish! They are just so pretty! I absolutely LOVE this advent calender.

This beauty is available exclusively in Selfridges and retails at £38. It may seem expensive but when you work out you are getting 24 polishes it works out about £1.60 a polish.
I am seriously having to wrestle with my will power not to buy this!


Are you in love??

New Hair

So as I mentioned yesterday I was off to the hairdressers this morning to have my hair spruced up! I was pretty much willing to leave the colour up to my hairdresser - thats some serious trust eh! But I know that she wouldnt make me look daft and lets face it she plays with colour on a regular basis and knows what suits people. All I told her was that I wanted perhaps something a bit lighter and a bit darker just to stop it to looking so flat and depthless.


I am beyond happy with the results. It has made my hair feel SO much better! I had a little trim too just to help with my plan for lush locks. All in total it cost me £25. That was for 2 lots of coloured highlights and a cut and finish! I completely love my hairdresser. She is basically has a shop in my small village away from the main town, she is the only hairdresser at the salon and she is absolutely lovely.
I have been to Tony and Guy (where I modelled) and other big salons but I dont think you can beat a salon where you know your hairdresser and she knows what you want when you go in!



Isnt it amazing how a bit of colour can spruce up how you feel :D

Quick catch up

How on earth is it Friday already??? Not that I am complaining...

This week has been quite manic and just seems to have flown by. I think with being bust last weekend - we had a big thing at church and US in the choir sang for the bishop and I had a solo - nervous was not even the word!!!
We had a Halloween party at guides on Wednesday and I took some photos to share with you of the make up look I did but I will leave them for the week as it seems a bit early yet...
I have been picturing loads on my instagram account (@unlovedbutton) lots of lovely food I have been eating... I lost 2 and a half pounds last night which I was chuffed with.. I feel really focused at the moment and wanth to get to my 2 stone before Christmas which is 12 pounds away so fingers crossed!!!
I'm having my hair done tomorrow which I am quite excited about.. I'm growing my hair and I stopped dying it red (if you saw some of my blog posts from last year it was like a mahogany colour) but now I am bored with it and feel it looks a bit drab and plain so I have decided to have a few highlights and lowlights put in! I will make sure to share the finished result tomorrow.

Anyway toodle pip! I am hoping to sit down relax and do some blogging this weekend so stay tuned xxx
