A Wedding Trial for a Pretty Bride.

Hi Lovlies,

I didn't realise until the other day that I have not updated this here blog of mine for a while. I think I went through a burn out these last two weeks and I'm only just coming out of it now! I've been busy with work and weddings and just trying to get my life back in order. Not exactly sure where it all went kaput but yes I think I'm back to regular programming!

So wedding season is coming to an end. Kinda. Sorta. There just won't be as many wedding through winter as they are in summer. I was busy with a few this year and I wanted to share the trial pictures of a particularly lovely bride I did last weekend. This lovely young lady is a stunner. Her dress was GORGEOUS, everything about her individual style just left such an impression with me. I wanted to show you her trial pictures. I'm making arrangements to get a hold of some professional pictures soon.

She wanted to look like "a more glamourous version of her natural self". I think we achieved that goal and I, for one, was happy with the outcome. Now I know someone is going to want to know what I used on her....I confess I can't remember it all but but I'll do my best to remember!

GOSH lipgloss in 104

She was a great bride to work with. She knew exactly what she wanted [which is always a good thing] and I reckon her day was pretty as perfect as they could come! Congratulations my love! You looked smashing!!

Hey guys, how you doing today?

Well I've been sitting here trying to find a place where I could do a make-up swap. However all the ones I found were already closed. They are like secret underground sects or something!!! If there is one running somewhere that I've missed please please please drop me a line.

Before I go and post something on Specktra I wanted to ask you guys if anyone would be interested in doing a drug haul make-up swap with me or anyone else who follows on this blog.

I am offering to swap stuff like this :D

If there are several people wanting a piece of the action I am willing to organise a full on swap fest for errrrrrbadi and if you're from another country even better we can more than accomodate you too!!!

Anyhoo a couple days ago I was in Super [make-up] Drug and picked up 3 GOSH items:-

Light 'N Shine Lip Glaze in no 05 £8.32
Effect Powder in Holographic Silver £5.39
Effect Powder in Plummy F£ee :) [Buy 3 for 2]

I bought the GOSH Lipglaze because it is a pretty good dupe for MAC Dazzleglass Funtabulous. It's just a little less pigmented but pretty much gives you the same effect. Feels lush on the lips, none sticky and last for a good while.

I have some random crazy idea in my head for the Holographic glitter. If I can pull it off then it was so worth the purchase and as for Plummy, its just a lovely colour to get for free!

Side note *My lips on Macro mode are just huge :p*

GOSH Lipglaze in no 5 on its own [I apologise for the poor shots. It's hard to photograph lipgloss!]

Sleek Amethyst Lipstick with GOSH Lipglaze no 5 over the top of it.
Hotness.

Stay Blessed people xxx
