Floral Headcrown kinda day!

 

 

 

 

 

Hey! Hope you guys are doing well. On Sunday I went to see Union J, James Arthur and JLS (headline act) live which was incredible! Big Gig in the park usually happens every year in Jersey and this was the first year that I was actually able to go because I haven't really been living here for too long. My friend Amber and I went together and had a blast we waited in line from 4:00pm which was when the event was meant to begin and it all ended at 10:00pm. It did rain but I refused to let that get in the way of having a good time. Overall it was a great experience and would definitely want to go next year! I decided to wear a maxi skirt because I really have been loving maxi skirts for a long time and thought that this would be the perfect event to wear it to and paired that would a crop top which was perfect for the weather (summer) until it started raining, to be completely honest I quite enjoyed the rain because its much better than being in sweltering heat with that many people surrounding you. I really enjoyed wearing this outfit because it was really easy to put together as well as easy to wear and I had to bring the whole outfit together with the floral headcrown which ties in with the whole gig/festival/concert vibe!

Tumblr #3

Hey! So today I'm here with another week of my favourite Tumblr reblogs! I have not been very consistent with my blogging at all this summer but that's not because I have just been lazing around in the sun but because before the summer had begun I didn't really know that I would have A-Level tasks to do, which for the record is extremely difficult.. so I have just been concentrating on that as well as enjoying being off school. Even though I am busy in other areas of my life I never neglect my social networks! :-)

 

Cool wedges/ Ombre baby blue dress/ summery cool heels/ Selena Gomez/ Kim Kardashian/ Short pink nails with midi rings/ Flower chick/ Lipsticks/ Lana Del Rey/ Rihanna and her bestfriend/ Melonade/ Neon Nikes/ Versace/ Two toned Celine bag/ cute monkey/ Creepers/ Kylie and Pia/ super cute outfits/ amazing bun/top knot/ amazing white heels/ cute desk area/ Gangsta chick/ neon and gold chain/ Kylie/ Orange Celine bag/

 

 

No matter whats going on.. I'm always on my Social Networks:

Review: MAC Paint Pots

Hey you guys.. today I decided to do a review on the MAC Paint Pots which has been featured in previous posts that I have done but I thought it would be good to idea to give you guys a run down of my thoughts of this product. Maybe this will help if you are doing some research before you spend the money because lets be honest its not the cheapest of products. I am also including swatches so you guys can see more of the pigmentation and formula of the product. I am aware that there are dupes as well which I will include information about in this post if you want to save a little bit money.

 

The two that I have and will be reviewing is "Quite Natural" and "Indianwood". Quite Natural has been in other posts of mine and Indianwood is one that I got recently. MAC says that these are " A highly pigmented eye colour that goes on creamy but dries to an intense vibrant finish", all of which I agree with. I first got the Quite Natural paint pot when a MAC makeup consultant recommended that I use this to prevent my eyeshadows from creasing and at the time I didn't really know a lot about the product but I decided to try it anyway being the impulsive person that I sometimes can be. So she recommended one closest to my skin colour which was Quite Natural, after doing research on the product I found that maybe "Groundwork" would have been a better option for my skin colour but Quite Natural still works just fine. I use it as a base as well as a primer and I have not been disappointed.

 

Left: Quite Natural, Right: Indianwood
 

Quite Natural is a matte chocolate brown colour which works great if you want to do an intense eye look. Because I loved Quite Natural so much the second time around I decided to go for a paint pot that had a bit more colour to it and I immediately gravitated towards Indianwood because I usually just stick to gold/bronze natural eye looks so I knew that I would get the most use out of Indianwood. I have worn Indianwood on its own all over the lid with a dark brown eyeshadow in my crease and it looked so good and simple at the same time and what I love about this product is that it lasts really long, approximately 8 hours if I counted correctly and because it is like a cream eyeshadow there is no fall out.

 

 

This is what the colour pigmentation looked like on me. The dupes for the MAC Paint Pots are the famous Maybelline Colour Tattoos that many beauty bloggers seem to love, I personally do not own or have not tried any of the the Maybelline Colour Tattoos as yet but I am very eager to try them out and see how they compare to the paint pots.

 

 

The Indianwood paint pot is a lot like MAC's Woodwinked (Veluxe Pearl) eyeshadow but in the pan Woodwinked looks a lot darker than Indianwood; on the skin it looks exactly the same so if you enjoy using eyeshowdows more than cream eyeshadows I definitely recommend to try Woodwinked out.

 

 

In terms of the packaging of the product, I personally love it! it's the classic sleek MAC packaging. However, these are glass pots so if you are thinking about travelling with them you might want to be a bit careful with how you pack them. Overall I love MAC Paint Pots and definitely look forward to purchasing more. I give this product a 8/10 I would give it a 10/10 but unfortunately the price(£15.00) does bring it down a little bit.

 

Well Done if you managed to get through this post!

What's In My Makeup Bag/ Daily Makeup Look

Hey Bloggers,

I decided to do a What's In My Makeup Bag/ Daily Makeup Look post because I enjoy reading other people posts on this and find it very interesting. What I carry in my makeup bag are kind of the products that I would use from Monday to Friday to school, very natural and simple.

 

Face

 

On my face I first apply my NC45 MAC studio sculpt foundation mixed with Lancôme foundation in the shade 10/11 not entirely sure because it is a sample. The mixture of these two foundations gives me full coverage and the correct shade. The MAC foundation also has SPF 15 which means its also great if the sun is out which is very rare. After I have applied my foundation evenly I conceal/ highlight with my MAC studio finish concealer in the shade NC42 underneath my eyes, thereafter I contour my cheek bones with Bourjois bronzing powder in 14- Olive which it great product to contour with if you have my skin tone.

 

 

Cheek

 

For my cheeks I don't really wear blush on a daily basis but I do sometimes add a bit of the baked bronzer/highlight from accessorize in Bondi shade 4 just at the top of my cheek bones after I have contoured.

 

Eyes

 

On my eyes I wear MAC's paint pot in the shade "Quite Natural" which is like "Painterly" but for darker skinned girls, I highly recommend this product. It acts as a primer as well as base for my eyeshadow and lasts literally the whole day. Over the top of that I put Bourjois bronzy/gold natural eyeshadow all over my lid and little bit dragged up to my brow. After I have done that I sometimes opt to wear a bit of liquid liner depends on the amount of time I have in the morning really, I then curl my eyelashes and apply Rimmel's  intense black sexy curves mascara just to make me look more awake.

 

Lips

 

Usually for my lips I wear any lip balm that is within my reach and I'm really loving the Nivea ones at the moment if I feel like need a bit of change I will wear a nude lipstick, a new one that I'm loving that I got recently is a nude lipstick by SEVENTEEN in the shade Bon Bon it also has red undertones to it so it would pretty much look good on anyone.

 

Brushes

 

 

In terms of the brushes that I use on a daily basis is the Real Techniques Stippling brush by Samantha Chapman, one of the Pixiwoo sisters which I'm sure many of you beauty bloggers will be familiar with. I use this brush to apply my foundation with and never fails to give a flawless finish. Next brush is a Body Collection powder/ blush brush which I use to blend the bronzer in with as well the highlight so that there aren't any harsh lines. For my eyeshadow I use the MAC 252 shader brush this brush works amazing to pack on eyeshadow with and blend it all in without it being a fluffy brush. And lastly a densely packed eyeshadow brush from Body Collection which I sometimes use to add a light eyeshadow to the inner corners of my eyes to brighten up tired eyes.

 

 

 I do sometimes carry these products with me if I need any touch ups which is very rare because all these products have great staying power. In a hurry I just carry my MAC studio fix pressed powder in the shade NC45 and that usually is all I need throughout the day. As you can probably see my daily makeup look is very natural and probably sounds a lot more time consuming than it actually is but now that it is summer and I am on holiday I can be a bit more adventurous with my makeup looks and be a lot more experimental with different products. I hope everyone is having a lovely summer so far!

Prom 2013!

I can not believe that Prom is over, all the prepping that went into it was insane, all for 4 hours. Nevertheless it couldn't have went any better than it did! Everyone looked so amazing and the live band was incredible (Rude Mood). My friend Amber and I went to for a neon theme and arrived in a mint green vintage car that was so cool. The only thing that I regret not doing is taking enough pics which is quite shameful being a blogger the reason for this was I was so in a rush trying to get there and by the time I got to prom there was so much going on and the battery on my phone was not at its highest. However I did take a few snaps whilst on the ride to prom!

 

 

 

 

I hope that everyone had a great prom if it already happened and hope you have a great prom if it didn't already. I did get my makeup done at a MAC makeup counter which I will talk more about in my next post and mention some of the products that were used.

Tumblr #2

Hey.... Its feels so weird being on here after such a long time and I have missed it so much because I do find blogging very therapeutic and always feel great after I have clicked the publish button. The goods news is that I have officially finished all of my GCSE exams yesterday so Lucille is back in full effect! Woop Woop! and there is no bad news because that just blows. I thought what better way to come back than to come back with a Tumblr #2, if you are unsure what this is, its just me putting 25 of my most recent reblogs on Tumblr to show you what I'm loving in terms of the latest trends, beauty looks, celeb/model styles, food and quotes.

 

 Trend:White onWhite/ Sour worms/ Versace label/ Street Chick/ Adrienne Bailon in embellished jacket/ Perspex clutch/ Beyoncé/ Fashion girl (Perspex clutch and printed trousers/ Rihanna with VS models/ Hell Yeah/ Neon Heels/ Louboutins/Gorgeous Fashion Blogger/ Happiness/ Greece/ Red Lips/ Fashion blogger/ Couture Runway shoes/ Jordan Dunn/ Couture dress/ NYC/ origami shorts/ Hot Pink strappy heels/ Cute T/ Olsen Twins looking gorge.

 

My school's prom is on the 27th June which is next week! I can't believe that its so near...eeek! There will definitely be a post up about that. I'm so excited for this long summer holiday that is ahead. I have a MAC Haul, reviews and fashion posts that will be up soon. I hope everyone has a great summer :D

Taking Time Out

Hey, so a few days ago my brother I decided to take little stroll not to far from where we live, why I didn't choose to upload this post earlier? Have no idea (lots of things going on) the sun was out and we don't really see much of it so we thought we should make the most of it! So here are some of the pics that I took along the way. Believe it or not if you take the whole fashion and beauty aspect away I'm quite the nature lover but hate camping (strange). I forgot how beautiful it all is being cooped up in my room from day to day. Its so important to just go out and get fresh air, I'm not going lie I was getting a little depressed without the sun but the weather does seem to be looking up which just makes me all the more excited for the very long summer coming up! YAY!

 

 I would love to hear if any of you are going on any cool summer holidays anywhere or even if you have any interesting summer plans, please feel free to leave any comments or requests. :)

April Favourites 2013!

I don't really know whether its a bit late to be doing April Favourites but I have really been loving a few products for the month of April and I feel very eager to share them with you, so here they are!

Witch naturally clear facial cleanser

I have been using this cleanser for quite a while now not only for the month of April and I absolutely love it! I have combination skin with and oily T-Zone (annoying) so I tend to avoid cleansers that are cream based because they just make the oiliness of my skin even worse which causes me to break out. This one is great because its foam based and one of the things that I love most about this cleanser is that after I have put my skin through torture with wearing makeup all day, when I wash the makeup off at the end of the day, its takes everything off and leaves nothing behind so you know that you are not clogging your pores it also means that you don't have to use a toner which lets be honest takes way too much effort. You will be able to purchase this in any Boots I would imagine.

Simple purifying cleansing lotion

After I have cleansed my face I use this moisturiser which kind of balances everything out in the sense that the cleanser does the job of drying my skin, making sure that it controls the oil levels and the cleansing lotion makes sure that my skin doesn't get too dry and cause me break out. Same with this product I have been using it for quite a while now and not only for the month of April. The two products work really well together if you are like me and have combination skin with an oily T-Zone I definitely recommend trying these two products out the cleansing is water based as well and Simple products are great because all the ingredients are natural so you know that you are not going to damage your skin with any harsh chemicals, you will be able to purchase this from Boots as well.

 

di palomo wild fig & grape hand cream

I have been loving this hand cream for the month of April. What I love about this hand cream that its really dry but moisturising at the same time, because most of the time hand creams are too moist and not very absorbent which it just leaves your hands feeling sticky. Before trying this product I was not familiar with the brand at all so I didn't really know what to expect but turned out to be great. One of the things that I love about it as well is that its a really small size so you can just throw in your bag and you are good to go. This product was actually given to me by my mum from this event that she went to, so I'm not too sure where you will be able to get this product, the name does sound a bit foreign but a little browse on the internet won't hurt, its worth it. 

 

 

Collection 2000 pressed powder





Love, love, love! I think I might have used this everyday for the month of April which is quite evident because I have hit pan. It is a translucent powder so it doesn't give off any colour which means that it would pretty much work for any complexion. I loved using this after I have applied my foundation and concealer and all that good stuff , it worked great as a setting powder so you don't have to wait too long for your makeup to set, I am one of those people who always forgets to put primer on and only remember after I have applied foundation (so annoying). I can not believe its lasting me this long because I used it so much. You would be able to purchase this from any Boots store. I just hope and pray that they don't choose to discontinue this product.

 



 

MAC Paint Pot

I am so in-love with my paint pot! I have it in the shade "quite natural" which is a little bit darker than my skin tone, I use it as a eye shadow base as well as a eye primer; I think it works well for both purposes. I bought this from the MAC counter around January time and only decided to use it for the month of April for some reason and it has been amazing. I am definitely planning to buy another one once this one is used up which I don't think is anytime soon because it looks like one of those products that last you a very long time which I'm not complaining about. If I do get another paint pot, I might get it in a different shade just to try them all out. Definitely recommend! I'm pretty sure you could get this online or at any MAC counter.

 

 

Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara

My favourite part when doing my makeup is applying mascara and this mascara has just taken it up a notch. This one is in intensive black because I love my eyelashes being really dark. My favourite thing about this mascara is the wand, it makes it really easy to apply on the inner lashes and the bottom lashes without any smudges. It gives my eyelashes super volume which is a thumbs up for me because I am pretty content with the length of my eyelashes its just that I feel I don't have a lot of them and this mascara does a good job of making them look like I have a lot more. Just like the others you can get this from any Boots.

 

 

Bourjois Intuitive liner

This liquid liner is quite interesting to any of the others I have tried because of the unusual applicator but believe it or not it actually makes it a lot more easier to apply because the whole idea behind it is that you create dots along your lash line and then fill them in, which I think is pretty impressive. My favourite thing about this product is that it lasts very long on the eyelid meaning it doesn't really fade away as time goes on because what I have found with liquid liners that I have tried in the past is they fade away as time passes and it would be a bit of hassle trying to apply more on top of that, so if you are looking for a liquid liner that is easy to apply and will last long I think this is your pick.

 

 

Price's Scented Candle

I have got this candle in the scent "Sweet Vanilla" and I am so in-love with this. It is such a strongly scented candle and I just light for about 30 minutes and my whole room smells like sweet vanilla. I am all for anything that smells nice! I am definitely thinking about trying these candles in other scents and I think you should to if you are like me and are obsessed with scented candles.

 

 

Company UK April Issue

The last item is my absolute favourite magazine! As soon as I saw Emma Stone on the cover I just had to get it, she is such a funny/brilliant actress and don't think anyone can disagree after watching Crazy, Stupid, Love (I think that's what its called) or The Help. This issue was a music issue which is right up my street because I do love my music! One of my favourite things about Company is that they include high street fashion and high fashion looks unlike some other magazines which are either one or the other. Every month I make it my duty to purchase this magazine.

 

 

Let me know in the comments if you tried any of these items before? if yes what did you think about it? If you have any other post ideas that you would like me do, fashion or beauty let me know in the comments as well.

OOTD: Yellow / Jaune

Parka Jacket: Newlook

Mustard Yellow Shirt: Next

Plain Black Skinnies: Miss Selfridge

Shoes: Newlook

The Jewels: Topshop/ Newlook

Hey, so yesterday I was out shopping with my beautiful mother who was also kind enough to be my photographer. I put together this very casual outfit which literally took me minutes, no joke. I mean you can't really go wrong with a parka jacket which just to let you know I have worn almost every weekend ever since I got it which was, I think last December. I think what attracted me to it was the leather sleeves, I paired that with a mustard yellow shirt, a pair of black skinnies, Jeffrey Cambell (kinda) look-a-likes and lastly accessorised with my gold jewels  

Let me know what you think? I would love to hear. :)

Tag: Would you rather- beauty edition

So... I am coming at you with a Tag! I thought this tag would be particularly interesting after reading some of the questions, even though some of the questions are pretty much impossible to answer. I'll try my best.

1. Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lipglosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows?
I think I would rather lose all my palettes and eyeshadows one of the reasons being because I don't really own that many and I can do without doing my eyes. I'm much more of a lip colour kinda girl.

2. Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?
Well...I do love my long hair, so I think I would rather never be able to cut it again and I could always just wear it up all the time which I don't really mind that much because that will just enable me to do really cool different hairstyles and I do think that my hair will get to a certain length and just stop growing.

3. Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?
I probably would rather have a pink cheek only because I feel like you have to be a certain skin tone to be able to wear coral, people who are of a pale complexion usually look really gorgeous with coral cheeks. I think pink cheeks would compliment my skin tone a bit better depending on the shade of pink as well.

4. If you had £1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?
Ooooooh difficult question...Even though I absolutely love makeup I would rather spend the money on clothes because makeup does expire and buying makeup for that amount of money means that you have to use it all up within a certain amount of time its usually 6 months, correct me if I'm wrong? and anyway I always feel as if I don't have enough clothes so yeah... definitely clothes!

5. Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, or eyeliner as lipstick?
Oh my goodness.. they both sound as bad as each other. I think I would rather use eyeliner as lipstick because the thought of using lipstick as eyeliner just doesn't feel or sound right.

6. Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?
I can't really make a fair judgement on this one because I have never used any Sephora products. I do wish there was a Sephora where I live but unfortunately there is not and it doesn't help when people who do have a Sephora near them have such amazing reviews on the makeup. BUT I do love my beloved MAC products (favourite brand of makeup) so I would rather only shop at MAC as far as I know.

7. Would you rather only use one eyeshadow colour or one lip color for the rest of your life?
I would rather only use one eyeshadow colour because I do tend to go quite neutral with my eyes and I think I would prefer to change up my lip colour rather than my eyeshadow colour.

8. Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter?I mean.. what even is this question? because either way you are screwed. I'm just going to answer this question based on the weather where I live and say that I would rather wear winter clothes in the summer because some days in the summer tend to be cold but if I chose to go with the summer clothes in winter option I would literally freeze to death and to be quite honest I'm only 16 years of age, too young to die.

 9. Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?
I would definitely rather have bright nails all year round only because I think that nail colour is one thing that you don't really have to bother too much about going through the different seasons and because I think that bright/lighter colours suit me better.

10. Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product?
Would rather give up favourite lip product because I don't really have one, it changes all the time. My favourite eye product is my paint pot by MAC and I absolutley love that and would be really difficult for me to give that up!

11. Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?
Definitely a messy bun type of girl!

12. Would your rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lipgloss?
I would rather never be able to use lipgloss. If you have read my post on the "Avon Nail Varnishes" you would know that I could never be able to live without painted nails that just wouldn't be Lucille Chetty.

13. Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in everyday?OMG. I know its absolutely ridiculous but I think that I would sharpie them on everyday, I don't really care about how much of an idiot I would look all I know is that it would look a lot better than not having any eyebrows at all. (eyebrows are really important to me).

14. Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?
NO. worst question! I would probably choose to live without nail polish. I love makeup too much to live without it and anyway I think I need makeup more than I need nail polish.

Hope you enjoyed this tag, let me know if there are any others that you would like me to do and lastly if you have tried both, MAC and Sephora products which brand of makeup do you prefer? If you could let me know in the comments that will be cool, I would love to hear?

Camo&Neon mash up!

I put together this really cool outfit (well at least I think so), its slightly grungy with the creepers but you could also just wear it with combat boots or like the pair that I have shown below. I didn't take very good pictures of the full outfit, I apologise for that but I think you get the general idea.
white plain tank top: anywhere

camo over-sized shirt: New Look

Velvet (kind of) skirt: New Look

Knee High Socks: M&S

Neon Pink Mini Satchel: Topshop

Creepers: New Look

Laced up suede boots: New Look

Spiked Necklace: Topshop

Rose Gold Watch: Newlook

(sorry, I really can't remember the prices to all of these items but each of them are under £20.00)

I mean who doesn't love a bit of camo and neon in their lives so I decided to mash the two up in this outfit:

                               

I hope this gave some what an idea of how you could style camo or neon and I would love to know in the comments what you thought about the outfit. If you have any posts that you would like me to do just let me know in the comments as well and I would gladly do them!

Lucille
