2014 Oscars | Best Dressed

I guess by now there are probably a million and one posts on the Oscars and what we are most interested in...the fashion! But I thought what the heck I'll show you all my favourites. And the Best Dressed at the 2014 Oscars goes to...

Sandra Bullock wearing Alexander McQueen

Kerry Washington wearing Jason Wu

Jennifer Lawrence wearing Dior

Idina Menzel wearing Very Wang

There were so many amazing dresses at this years Oscars and to be honest I haven't seen a lot of "Oh god, what was she thinking?" dresses. I love how a lot of the dresses were quite plain with not a lot happening on them, sometimes the plainer the better in my book!

The men all looked very dapper in their suits, my two favourite were the following...

Leonardo Di'Caprio wearing Armani

Zac Efron wearing Calvin Klein

OOTD | Lets Go To The Beach

So this is probably like my second attempt at making my blog branch out more to other things other than beauty. So please do let me know in the comments if you want to see more of these types of post. In my last post you will see I took a trip to the beach with my family and whilst we were there I thought I'd spontaneously take some OOTD pictures.

Vest Top - Primark

Stripe Top - Primark

Black Cardigan - George @ ASDA

Jacket - New Look

Skinny Jeans - Primark

Canvas Shoes - Primark

Bag - Primark

This was the perfect outfit for down the beach. Although it wasn't that windy (you're protected by the cliffs) I stayed nice and cosy and was completely comfortable for the long walk we did. The only thing we didn't comprehend was the after effects of the stormy weather we had last week. All the pebbles were across where you walk so these shoes weren't the best choice but I powered on through (or over the pebbles I guess!).

A bit off topic but I just want to put it out there. I'm not 100% happy with the way I look (body image problems) but I am getting more comfortable with taking full body pictures so please do let me know if you want to see more of these posts as it's definitely helping me with my confidence!

What's your perfect outfit for a walk along the beach?

Eye Of Horus | New Releases | Goddess Eye Pencil

Although it's very hard to believe with the awful weather we've been having lately but soon enough spring will be on its way. And with that comes new fashion trends, hopefully better weather and what I'm most excited about new makeup products and makeup trends.

Today I want to talk about the new Goddess Eye Pencil shades being released by cult Australian makeup brand Eye Of Horus. There are going to be two new shades both look gorgeous as each other and I definitely want them in my collection.

First up is Jewel Amethyst, a pigmented deep purple shade with purple micro glitter. This would look amazing on anyone but most of all green eyes. I love the look they used on the model in the picture above and will probably try to recreate it one day (if I can be as artistic that is!).

Next is Lazuli Blue, a vibrant electric blue that will help create the perfect blue smokey eye. I must admit blue eyeliner is one I've always avoided only reminding me of the 80's but I think if it's the right shade of blue it can definitely look good. Again I love the look created on the model.

These two new shades join the already acclaimed Goddess Eye Pencil collection. Inspired by natures alluring colours, they inject some on trend colour into their Spring-Summer makeup collection. They claim to be highly pigmented, easy to apply and with a handy little smudger applicator on the opposite end. Their formula is waterproof, smudge-proof and long lasting. Perfect for everyday use and can easily transfer a look from day to night.

Eye of Horus do not test on animals, their products are paraben-free and rich in essential oils and natural waxes.

Eye of Horus was born to make every woman, no matter what age, feel beautiful.

Available to purchase from their website or Cocktail Cosmetics for £13.

Have you ever tried any Eye of Horus products before?

My Favourite 5 Blogs Of 2013

Long time no see!!

Yes I'm back and cannot tell you how excited I am to get back in to blogging! My laptop issues still are not fixed but I have acquired myself a iPad air!! So do bare with me whilst I get used to blogging on this thing.

So to get back into the swing of things I thought I would start off easy with a post of my 5 favourite blogs of 2013. Because although I couldn't blog that certainly didn't stop me from reading all your lovely blogs. So without further ado...

Hannah over at Cosmetic Crave is definitely one of my favourite blogs to look out for when she does a new post. From reviews to hauls I love reading what Hannah has to say.

Laura over at Lola And Behold is one of my closest blogging buddies. We met last year and I truly trust what she has to say about products. I read her blog long before I met her and continue to love reading it.

Sophie at Sophie Rose Hearts is also another one of my closest blogging buddies. What I love about Sophie's blog is her lifestyle posts. I especially loved seeing her trip to Paris through her eyes.

Hayley over at Beauty Rambles takes the most gorgeous blog pictures which really are eye catching. From nail polish to lush products Hayley has plenty to tell you about.

Katie over at SugarFixxBeauty is someone who's style I completely adore. And can we just talk about her gorgeous pink hair for a minute!! She takes lovely blog pictures and the content is just a delight to read.

So there we have it my favourite 5 blogs from last year. I look forward to reading all your lovely blogs this year and hopefully discovering some new ones to follow.

Thanks again for all of you who have stuck by me during my hiatus!

Til next time...
