Paranoid Blogging!

Basically, I have to have this tooth out tomorrow, and although I've had loads of dental work done before, like fillings and root canals, and such, I've never had one taken out, and I'm a little bit terrified. Well, a lot terrified. I'm paying extra to be sedated during the process because I get really panicking when I think I can feel pain, even if it's just the sensation, or whatever. It's pretty traumatic for me, haha. But now I'm worrying mostly about having a giant hole in my mouth afterwards.. ugh! 

So to take my mind off it, I'm trying to blog, but I'm just worrying! This will be long, and rambly, but you don't have to read, don't worry!

It was my 21st birthday this week! And I've had a lovelyyyy time. I saw my wonderful friend Tam on Monday and we had a lunch and saw X-Men First Class which was amazinggg, I adored it, I'm now a little bit obsessed with Michael Fassbender. 

Tuesday was my actual birthday. I had croissants for breakfast with my mummy, and then lunch with my friend Amy, and went to a Chinese and Thai restaurant with my family in the evening. A lot to eat in one day! haha. 

On Friday I went to dinner with a bunch of my closest friends, minus the few that were unfortunately still at university. ): We went to really good restaurant where I had chicken stuffed with ricotta, wrapped in parma-ham with sweet potato chips and roasted pepper. So good! And lots of wine, and some amazing banoffee pie. Haha.

And to finish off my wonderful week, me and my friend went down to Wookey Hole yesterday, and saw some awesome caves! I am a huge fan, so I geeked out over it. 

That all out of my system, have a gander at some photographs from this week!

Standing on the sofa to pretend that I'm taller than my six foot four brother!

Poke at my iris, why can't I cry about this?

I apologise if you're not enjoying this backlog of outfit-posts. In my downtime, I still take regular pictures and such, I just forget to write the text! Thinking of doing less wordy posts, so I shall make this short and sweet! An outfit I wore to the cinema a few weeks ago.

Top: Primark, about £10 

Trousers: ASOS, £13

Wrap: New Look (very old, I can't remember the price!) 

Watch: Ice Watch. 

Jewellery: Owl Ring from H&M, £3.99, others are vintage.

Illamasqua Lipstick in Corrupt: Review

I got this lipstick ages ago now, it was a Christmas present from my family! One of the things I love more than anything is bright lipsticks. I have a selection in my stash from pink, orange, red, purple, and most things in-between. I really adore bright, shocking colours, and this lives up to that reputation.

Illamasqua Lipstick, Corrupt, £15.50 

There's another picture of me wearing it here, just after Christmas (looking at that post makes me miss all my big comfy Winter jumpers!) I got it from the Illamasqua store just off Carnaby Street in London and the girls there was so lovely. Sat with me whilst I uhmed and aahed over various shades before I decided on this one! She also showed me how to blend it with a blue eyeliner to get a really interesting shade of purple, which I've attempted! Here's a closeup;

 

It's a really lovely lipstick, and has a beautiful matte finish. The only problem with that is it's quite a drying lipstick, so you need to make sure you have super moisturised, free from cracks or flakes, and I recommend not wearing it for that long a time, because when it starts drying out, you can tell. But then, that is an issue with all brightly coloured lipsticks, and |'m used to it, so it doesn't bother me that much anymore. The only real issue I have with it is that their lipsticks are a funny shape, which isn't really that useful when you're trying to apply them. 

   

They cost £15.50, which | think is a little on the pricey side, but it's a beautiful colour that I'm willing to pay the extra for! I'd be more comfortable with a £10-12 tag, though. At least we're not talking Rouge Volupte here! The packaging is nice, I like a more square tube, actually, like Nars lipsticks. 

Price: 4/5 

Packaging: 5/5 

Colour: 5/5 

Texture: 3/5 

Would I buy this product again?: Definitely. I have my eye on that navy blue lipstick that they do..

Tiger's are my spirit animal..

Quick outfit post for you today! I went to Longleat at Easter with some friends because I had a sneaky discount and we wanted a little Easter break. It was quite nice, wandered around Bath a bit, had a lovely time. And I bought an amazing shirt. For five english pounds. I couldn't believe my luck. I bought it super big so I could wear it like a dress, and I do.

I don't look myself in these pictures, I'm not sure why that is, haha. I look a bit like a demon. Sorry for the awful lighting! I tried editing them a bit, but I just looked more and more strange! Here's the graphic on the shirt;

 

You can't really see but theres a black leopard under my hair! Snow Leopards and and Tigers are my ABSOLUTE favourite (hence, my blog title!) so I was in love. I've been wearing it with my Primark boots, but now it's getting warmer again, I may have to put these away. We shall see! Hope you en joy my silly taste in clothes..!

Ombred!

It has been FOREVER since I have posted, I am so sorry! I have been having a rather hectic time at university. I had a month or so where I was really panicking about whether I was doing the right course and now I'm feeling better about it, I've realised how behind I am and I'm trying to catch up.. Bit of a bad cycle. And then, I've just paid the deposit on my house for next year, so I'm spending all my money on second-hand table-ware and things for my new house, and neglecting beauty a tad.. However.. I got my hair dyed yesterday. If you follow me on twitter you'd have seen me tweeting about this all day, but I loved it so much! I got my hair ombred! I don't even dye my own hair with packet dye, I'm that paranoid about it, so there was no way I was doing this myself, but there are tutorials online about it, and I don't think it's that hard. Now that it's done, I think I could lighten it up myself, because the ends aren't that light, really. I'd see, haha.

The first picture is of it yesterday, and the second is of it today. My hairdresser friend had curled my hair yesterday, and I couldn't really get an accurate picture of it until today. LLYMLRS tells you to just "rub it in" which is pretty much how my hairdresser did it. She sectioned off the top bit of my hair, and did the bottom first, and backcombed the hair before applying it upwards, rubbing it in. I also had my roots darkened a teensy bit, and she applied a tiny bit of the brown dye over the ends *right* before she washed it off, so it made the bleach less orange!

I reallllly love it! Like I said, she darkened the bleach a little bit more than I would've liked, but I didn't want it to go to orange, and it was leaning that way (I have a lot of coppery/red tones in my hair, as you can probably see). Next time I'd probably get the very ends lightened again, because I'd want them slightly lighter.. But I really love it!< Here's a picture from the front, and you can see how it fades;

 

(Excuse the geeky shirt!)

And just for fun, here is my hair after curling it! My friend used the Cloud nine O's! which were amazing! I need them, now The big ones weren't so good on my hair, the 40mm ones gave the best curls, definitely. Sadly, we worked out that altogether it would cost £300+, so for now, it remains a dream..

'Scuse the scabby lipstick, I'd had it on for a few hours by that point, and eaten and drank and such. 

Hope you like this! I'll try and post more..
