Atrixo event: scones and makeovers

hello hello, how are you? hello hello, its good to see you....anyone with a toddler ((child, sibling, niece/nephew, or maybe you just know a toddler)), should know that song. anyway, so two weeks ago, i went to a event for Atrixo. I wasn't too familiar with the brand, but i was excited to find out exactly what they are about and what fun things we would get up to at the event. When we (me, Ally, Vanese and Ellie) arrived the building looked so beautiful and the decor was amazing. We walked into the room and we were a little bit late, so they had already started with a sewing class. I can't sew to save my life, but its definitely something that I would love to learn someday. Ally and Vanese and Ellie got hair and face makeovers and I tried a red lip. I wasn't a big fan of the shade of red on me, because i felt like it was too bright for my skin tone. I would prefer a darker red with my skin tone otherwise I just look like a clown. Its still a beautiful colour, just not for me. The champers was flowing and there was loads of cute (not-so-diet-friendly) treats. I tried a scone for the 1st time and i LOVED it. But sadly i won't get that bikini body by eating scones all day, but its nice as a lil treat for yourself. All in all, it was a great night and i really enjoyed myself. 

So, as there wasn't enough goodie bags to give to everyone, I was sent some of the products and we also could choose a few of the products they had out on the table aswell.

I'm not really someone who likes to try out new creams because i have eczema and the littlest thing could really irritate my skin. (boo)

I got 3 different types of cream:

Regenerating Treatment with Panthenol

Moisturing Cream with Camomile (in a small tub and squeeze tube)

Intensive Protection Cream with Aloe Vera

Out of all the creams, my favourite is definitely the Regenerating Treatment because it makes my hands feel all moisturized without it feeling sticky and gross. If you have dry skin, is would be the cream for you. It really tackles those problem areas and is all like 'hey you, you will be dry no more'. I like all the products but the this one works the best for my skin.  

have you used Atrixo before? are you like in love with scones?

love, peace and chicken grease

what i did and wore today: dogtooth & love

Hola, bonjour, yo wassaaaap...hey, you beautiful people, so today i decided to go outside onto the giant ice-rink and go into town to get a few bits and bobs. I really am not someone to brave cold weather just to get a few things, but i also really needed to just walk about a bit and clear my cray cray head. 

i decided to buy a new nail varnish to add to my ever growing collection. I lurrrrve different shades of (grey) reds and purples. I love the way those colours look with my skin tone and its just super cute. 

I decided to get Barry M in 'Raspberry'. I apologize for my horrible nail painting. I'm a very messy nail painter and this picture was taken after i tried to clean it up a bit (oops) 

I reallyyyy love this colour and its a really cute 'wintery' colour. 

Striped shirt - once again that old chestnut, my mums old wardrobe

Dogtooth leggings - Ebay - £4.99 (£2.25 p&p)

Boots - Office - *unknown price*

Spiked necklace - Primark - £5

thoughts on the outfit? are you a messy nails now, tidy up around the edges and/or basically the whole finger later person?

I really want to get more pairs of converse because i used to LOVE them, then i stopped, then i started again, then it got too cold, now i just don't pay attention to the weather.

song in the title; The Power of Love - Gabrielle Aplin

okay so, this weather is truly depressing and the fact that its getting colder and possible SNOW...like...whats that all about?! please someone put me on a one way flight to LA for sun, sea and se....ice cream ;-) even though its getting colder, i've started wearing skirts and shorts a lot more because we all know fashion comes before health (jk, well kinda). I just want every pair of denim shorts, leggings and skater skirts in the world.

song in title: Little Things - One Direction

OOTD: it takes me all the way, i want you to stay

okay, soooo i know i haven't blogged in forever *slap on the wrist...or bum* (cheeky) but the other day i had to quickly rush out and i chucked this outfit on and i really liked it. So, i call  this outfit 'cheeky quick outfit which kinda works so maybe i should rush all my outfits'

Plaid Shirt - Rokit - unknown price

Spiked Necklace (which i know you cant really see, but its this one) - Pop Couture - £8

Grey Leggings with Pleather Panel - Primark - £3 (did someone say BAR-GAIN?)

Brown Chelsea Boots - Primark - £15

Sooooo, I've mentioned before that i lurrrrrrrrve me some plaid/tartan. I just love the way that it makes a statement and i'm all about statements.

 I adore these leggings with the pleather panels because i just think they look soo cute and work well with a lot of outfits. you can wear them with a cropped top and heels for a night out or a baggy jumper/shirt for a more casual look. Leather/Pleather is bang on trend right now and i would defo recommend adding a bit of pleather to your wardrobe. Missguided.co.uk do some uhh-maze ones here and boohoo.com have some PU leggings here. PU/pleather/wet look leggings are like designed for people to have a little struggle whilst getting dressed. I don't actually own a pair, because i wanna have some boom-boom pow legs to show off in those leggings, but i tried some on recently and the struggle was real. *apply baby powder/butter/oil before putting on these leggings*...o k don't..or maybe you like that kinda stuff...

Hope you've all had an amaze Christmas and eaten enough food to last you until easter ;)

song in the title; Rihanna - Stay

OOTD: galaxy defenders, stay forever

Okay so this winter weather is really getting me down. I've been ill for the past few days *breaks out the violin* and i've been wondering whether i'm in London or Antarctica. Anywhoooo, I got these very tumblr-esque galaxy print leggings a while ago but they didn't fit before, but they do now (well they're still a bit of a cheeky squeeze). The way galaxy print is just all over the gaff, is just cray cray. I do love it though, because it just sucha weird print and 'weird' is my middle name. I ADORE layers, espesh in this weather, just layer me up baby! I love wearing jumpers and leggings. they are my 'safety outfit' and its just an easy outfit, that can be played up or down. I decided to add the denim shirt under and denim jacket over, just to Shek it up (geddit ;)...and yes, double denim is perfectly acceptable as long as you wear it right.

RIGHT

WRONG

SO SO WRONG

Anywayss, back to the outfit.

Denim Shirt - Vintage *unknown price*

Necklace - Primark - £5

Ring - Charity Shop - £1

Jumper - Vintage *unknown price*

Leggings - Primark £8

Boots - Primark - £15

Denim Jacket - Vintage *unknown price*

Earring - Vintage *unknown price*

I'd love to know your thoughts on the outfit

are you a polar bear and enjoy this weather?

Louise Thompson for Goddiva Bloggers Event :-)

Sooo, last week Thursday, i went to a bloggers event organised by Red Hot PR and Goddiva for Louise Thompson's new collection with Goddiva.

I was really excited to attend, as i love Made In Chelsea and i am in love with Louise's fashion sense, so i knew I was gonna some some really cute pieces. She is such a lovely woman and soo beautiful and cute (so jellllll). We got a cheeky sneak peek at her new collection and i can honestly say, i was loving all the amazing pieces. 

I picked out a Black skater dress, with a faux leather panel, down the middle and across the chest

I cant even begin to explain how in love i am with this dress. Its soo comfy and the fit of just perfect. Because i am soo tall, the length of the dress is just right for my height and i just love it. Its a very statement piece and im all about making a statement. Its soo versatile and I didnt waste any time wearing this dress on Sunday. I had to wear a basic black top under it, just because the weather really weren't playing around and it was soo cold.

Necklace - Pop Couture £8

Boots - Primark £15

Tights - Primark £4

Snood - Primark £5

Jacket - Dorothy Perkins *unknown price*

Top - New Look

At the end of the night we got given, not uno, not dos, but tres goodies bags. (oh happy days!)

goodies = happy Shekinah

A few of the products are Bronnley Bath and Shower wash, Nubo Lip Perfection, Pivioine Delicate Shimmering Powder, Organic Surge Skin Soother, Eyelure Queen of Mod Eyelashes, Make Believe Self Tan Lotion (cant wait to try out that one....;)

 I'll do some reviews of the products in later blogs!

It was a really great night and a massive pat on the back to Red Hot PR, Goddiva and Lousie Thompson. I am really loving attending these bloggers events and meeting other bloggers :-)
