New prints available on my Etsy!

Hey guys, just to let you know, there are some new prints over at my Etsy store! They're £2.50 each and are 6"x4" this time round. They're of my digital work so had to be printed smaller to ensure good quality! I also have 1 cross stitch of Shaun of the Dead which comes in a black frame for £5! I'm really proud of that one, so if you're a Cornetto Trilogy fan you may want to snag that one up!





In the next week or so I will be throwing a Halloween give away! So keep your eyes pealed for that! :D

Thank you for your continued support on all my social networking sites, it means a great deal to me (: xo

Practise makes perfect

I was going through my sketchbook the other day and came across old illustrations of cute girls that I used to come up with in my little mind tank, and I just thought "how could I make these look better?" I purchased a tablet around a year ago and used it once or twice, I must admit, it collected quite alot of dust! I found it so difficult to use and didn't want to go back to something that I found so hard! 

Going through Tumblr, I'm always inspired by the artists I follow, who all use digital art as a medium, it was a spur of the moment thing and I just grabbed the tablet and started drawing over my old illustrations! And I'm very happy that I did! I can't get enough of drawing on the tablet now, it feels great. The way you can just change an illustration completely without seeing the old one is amazing! I'm very happy with the ones I have come up with and hope to continue to get better! Just need to work out how to get the girls onto backgrounds I've created! I hope you like anyway (:

 
These will be available on my Etsy soon! xo

ARTPOP

I've been working on the Halloween collection lately (which I have now set a deadline for! Eeep!) and decided to take a little break and have a go at digital art again. I was really inspired by some of the talented work I've seen lately and felt like having ago again after a few months, my tablet had collected a lot of dust! Oops!

I doodled a little sketch about a week a go of Lady Gaga, I used my sketch to then digitally colour. 

Here's a little bit of the process that I posted on my Instagram;

(original sketch)
 
I'm pretty proud of it, this is my 3rd finished digital art piece, I'm finding it easier the more I practice and that's all you can ever do I guess (:

(6 posts away until a giveaway!)

Paratour/roadtrip


Day 1: Everything packed and shoved in the car I could not contain my excitement. Finally after 9 years of being a huge fan of Paramore, today was the day I was able to see them, live! The road trip was filled with laughter and lots of singing to our favourite songs, which is how it should be with your best buddy! We arrived into Cardiff and stopped at Wagamama for some food. If you’ve never been, I highly recommend it! Some of the best food I have ever tasted. Looking for our hotel was the hardest mission ever! We went past the arena and saw all of the Paramore fans queuing for forever! It just became funny that we couldn’t find it but we finally did, with 1 hour and half to go until the doors opened! Getting ready, my tummy was starting to flip and excitement had overtaken me, we were skipping around the room (it was very large) I hardly wore any make-up because I knew I’d just sweat it off anyway! I wore a crop top and a skirt, perfection for dancing and jumping! 


The show, wow, wow, wow THE SHOW! It was the most incredible thing I’ve been too, seen and danced around too, and I danced my butt off! Some of the people around us were not even singing or dancing, what is the point in going to a show? Really do not get some people! I sang every word and danced to every melody, it was everything I imagined and more. The show was totally worth waiting 9 years for! Jeremy is my favourite member, he is one talented guy! Hayley running up and down the stage was ace, despite hardly seeing her tiny self! I loved her playing at the piano and messing up on ‘When it Rains’ but still my favourite song! I could hardly see Taylor but sure he rocked it! The fan that got to go up on stage was so lucky! And owned the stage during 'Misery Business'! Well done buddy! The final was amazing, confetti falling everywhere while the whole arena was belting out ‘Still into You’

Still so adrenaline pumped from the gig we decided to get maccy d’s and head back, watched some Interbetweeners and slept. Hardly slept that night and think I managed to drop off at 5:30am



Day 2: We woke up around 9ish, we had a full day planned ahead! Showered and dressed we headed out around 11. We grabbed a Subway and headed over to the mall, we shopped around for abit, but wasn’t all that interested as we have similar shops, loved Hamley’s and Disney though, as we do not have them! (sad face) I bought myself a Zero teddy from Disney, my favourite character in Nightmare Before Christmas (: We tried to find a store that would stock film for my polaroid but it was closed, but we ended up in a nice little street, so I took a photo. It hit half 2 and we decided to head over to the Doctor Who Experience! I was very excited for this as the last time I came to Cardiff I couldn’t find it! The adventure part at the beginning of the tour was so scary! I think I was more scared than the kids! The worst was the Weeping Angels, I think they’re the most terrifying villain in Doctor Who! You had to walk through the forest and they were all there! I was going crazy and closing my eyes (I didn’t blink)! The actual exhibition bit was very impressive! They had loads of original props, including Ten’s coat and the heart of the T.A.R.D.I.S  (which you could actually stand on)! It was just all so, so impressive and a real must for any Doctor Who fan! After that it was pretty much dinner time so we stopped off at T.G.I Friday’s, which we’ve both never been too and only thought existed in America. I must say it was the best meal I’ve ever had! I had the Kickin’ Veggie Burger and Apple Waffle Crunch which were both such a delight! We left a pretty big tip for the wonderful lady who served us, she was so, so lovely! With our bellies full and satisfied we left for the journey home! Which was a lot of fun, the singing and conversations never stopped all the way home, such a perfect trip.

 








Can't wait for more traveling adventures in the very near future!

Katy Perry Killer Queen makeup video

Hey dolls! 

A few days ago I first saw Katy's new ad for her new fragrance 'Killer Queen' on the TV. I personally love the ad and can't stand the whole drama of "but Beyonce was a Queen in her video" blah blah blah, get over it, we can all be Queens!

The hair was amazing, and to be fair it did look like it was advertising some sort of hair product! But we can't blame Katy for having some amazing hair *cough* wigs!

I adored the makeup she had to complete the look, a very simple classic smokey eye with winged eyeliner and a red lip, here's my version in a video, hope you enjoy (:






Oh, and yes I have tried the 'Killer Queen' fragrance and I don't like it! ha! I'm going to stick to 'Purr'!

Within the next few weeks expect some Halloween looks! yay!

Review: Maybelline Baby Lips

I'm most likely a little bit slow on the hype of these lip balms but better late than never! I snagged the Intense Care balm out of the six to choose from. 


This one appealed to me because of it's claims. It has SPF 20 which is always great to read! It also claims to hydrate for 8 hours and leave your lips feeling baby soft. Such high claims for a £2.99 product! I'll be honest, it's an okay product. It hydrates my lips just fine but not for 8 hours, it's a pretty ridiculous thing to expect seeing as we eat and drink through out the day! It did however leave my lips feeling baby soft after a few days, but then the affects wear off like all the other lip balms I have tried. But I will admit this is the best one I have tried, it tops my Simple lip balm by far! It glides on the lips easily, feels a tad watery compared to its solid appearance, but there's no pull on the lips when applying.

The packaging is so cute and colourful, and yellow is one of my favourite colours. It's a great product for £2.99 and I would recommend it, it's a great little wonder to keep in the bottom of your bag for those dry lips emergencies!

Apologies for the crummy photos, was a gloomy day!

It's an elastic waist, which I don't normally go for but I couldn't resist! It's so comfortable and hangs beautifully off the waist.

I paired it with a plain black top, my Ellie Goulding necklace, tights, spiked black pumps and these awesome sunglasses I got for £1 from Primark! 

Cute little outfit for the summer!

Review: Barry M Confetti in Dolly Mixture

I'm really into nail polishes lately! I saw a new range in the Barry M section yesterday and was excited! They have a confetti range, I've never seen anything like it before but I guessed you just used it as if you would with a glitter polish. 'Dolly Mixture' caught my eye, with its multi coloured beauty! So I gave it a try.

I am so blown away! My expectations were not high at all because I've failed so many times with crummy glitter polishes where they just don't go on but this glided on beautifully! You just stroke it on like you would a normal block colour and it'll come out like this! I gave my nails two coats and it just looks amazing! It dries so fast too, I can't get over this product. It's only £3.99 aswel! Brilliant (:

Outfit of the Day; Mickey Mouse!


Clothes;
Top - Topshop (not sure if still on sale!)
Shorts - Primark (£10)
Mickey Mouse - Primark (£3)

Hey guys! Just stopping by to show off these amazing tights! I'm so in love with them! I love anything Disney so these are so perfect. I must admit, Primark has really upped its game since the last time I went in there. These shorts are so cute too! They're high waisted so I had to get the next size up to get over my butt and now I'm left with this gap at the back! Do they not realise that women have butts and hips?! 

I really wanted to show you guys my make up, the Lightscapade powder by MAC is amazing, but my face wasn't co-operating with the camera today! booooo


On a different note, I've been working on these Sparky clips, I've finished 5 of them and this is one of the finished ones, all hand made with clay and hand painted. Would anybody be interested if I sold them? 

Have a great bank holiday! xo
