Barbie dresses, My little pony jumper Clothes that match my 3 year old Hot or Not

So Today my new Barbie Dress arrived and I must say I was grinning almost as much as my 3 year old daughter was (Although I think she may have thought it was hers as i unwrapped it).
Is it really cool though or are we (I) conning are selves into thinking it is because we want a little piece of childhood back.
Are we secretly longing for our barbie and ken dolls back and somehow these toy themed fashion pieces fill a deep longing for our childhood play time. Ha ha
I don't know I don't think it is that ,Ive always been a girly girl. I adore Hello Kitty and most pink and sparkly things.
I don't however find myself playing with my girls dolls when im alone ( although Alisha's reborn doll, thats a different story lol).
I think the toy themed fashion is just a bit off fun and can be quite a cool look.
Wether it's My Little Pony jumpers or Barbie prints it's On trend if your daring or stupid enough to wear it.(you decide)
Im loving my new Barbie Dress and if it scores points with my kiddies then it's a bonus.

Well going to have a cuppa and then take my sleepy head to my comfy bed.

How to do smoky eyes including full make-up tutorial

Hello my little cupcakes hope everyone is fine and dandy and feeling sweet like candy.
Im not fine and dandy. :( !!!!!!!!
No,as if having to use crutches for six weeks was'nt bad enough today my consultant decided it would be a great idea to take my stitches out of my foot and make me rock a pink plaster cast from the knee downwards!!!!!!
Seriously how traumatising, it was bad enough to stop wearing heels and sport the crutches.
But the final insult, the nail in the coffin is this pink monstrosity that is weighing down my already heavy enough frame!!!!
No i am far from impressed.

So im often asked about my eye makeup and make-up routine in general so i thought id show you how i do one of the looks i rock (rock not neccessarily in a cool way , rock as i fall over keeping my balance is probably about right)

Stylish........not!!!

I always start when doing someone's or my own make-up by cleansing and moisturising, preparing your canvas ready for making something beautiful.
For convenience il be honest i tend to use Johnsons baby wipes, and actually i ♥ them.
They are great at removing every trace of make-up and gentle enough to use on eyes and eye make-up too.
Next up is moisturiser which i don't tend to stick to the same one.
I like to swap round every now and then as i stop feeling the benefits if i use the same one for months on end.
My all time fave is "Clinique Moisture Surge" its just brilliant it really is like giving your skin a great big drink.
I also love the lancome range of moisturisers, my fave one used to be the vinefit one but i think it was discontinued.
Today im trying out the Garnier Moisture Match 24hr revitalising hydrating gel for Dull skin.

I must say this smells amazing , really nice.

And it goes on smoothly leaving a nice base for your foundation.

Again i don't stick too one foundation il try anything once.

At the moment though im using the last of my Maybelline dream matte mousse.

I always use a bronzer on the areas of my face that would naturally catch the sun so thats cheeks, forehead and a tiny sweep over my chin.

 Foundation and bronzer

With the base sorted (this is just my everyday quick base if i was going out or doing someones make-up then id use a more detailed base il go into that on a different post) now we can start on the eyes. If you have discolouration then consider using a primer and concealer but this is a eye-shadow look im concentrating on today il save those for the base tutorial.

With a soft bristled eye shadow brush (mine is Cosmapolitan  eye shadow blender) take a light coloured shadow like pearly white or cream coloured. Apply this all over your lid all the way up to your brows.

Light shadow 

Next choose a colour your comfortable with im using a smoky slate colour and silver/grey duo, but any two colours with a light and dark variation will work.blend the darkest colour into the socket (crease between your eyelid and brow bone.use circular strokes to blend in, working upwards towards brows..

 Take the lighter off the two colours and blend the dark on the lid so they merge together then soften the top edge of it using  the same technique.

Go back to the original light pale shade you used initialy and blend under brow bone. Now to define brows there are a variety of ways to do this but today im using a brown eyebrow pencil, the trick is to start on the fullest  part of the brow and using small hair like strokes fill in your brows. I like full on "scouse brows " lol but you could not go for as much definition as i did and take a cotton bud after to blend it in. I skipped this step though as i like the defined OTT look. Next i took a liquid black liner and ran it along my top lash line flicking out and up slightly at the edges. Finish with two coats of black mascara making sure to cover all lashes.

Ta-dah

When doing dramatic eyes its often best to keep lips neutral, i just so happrned to get hold of the new Maybelline pink punch baby lips lip balm so this is what i applied to finish the look. I really ♥the baby lip aswell and shall do a seperate post on them.

So thats my take on smoky eyes.I have got loads of tutorial posts planned so let me know if theres anything you would like to see, any tips you would like to share.

Id love to hear from you.

A passion for fashion

Hello everyone hope you are all well. I apoligise for not posting for a few days i've actually been working on a make-up tutorial for you but for some unfortunate reason out of the many pairs of tweezers ive got or shall i say had, i can't find any!!!!!!! And i don't wanna post pictures of how to do eyes, and display it on huge great caterpillars.
So not to worry i am on the motorway headed in the direction of Bradford and whilst i am there i intend to buy some new tweezers or i may even treat myself to getting them threaded if i can get an appointment.
I should have my first tutorial online by tonight anyways :).
Since i started this blog iv'e only written about beauty and cosmetics which is what the blog is predominatly intended to be about, but it is beautygeek FASHION chic, and i do love fashion.
I was actually doing a fashion course at college but had to defer it till september so i will be starting back in September and i can't wait.

Practice designs

I've always loved designing thing's, I could sit for hours with a sketch pad and a set of colouring pencils.
Infact i've always done it since being a kid.

I love going clothes shopping and people watching on a sataday afternoon.

I like to see how people put things together, street style is so inspiring.

I've always been a firm believer in wearing what you want to wear, don't dress for anybody else, dress for you in what makes you feel good. Be individual I think it's nice to mix vintage items with new and i frequently visit charity shops to hunt out some one off bargains.

I don't have a set fashion style and i change my look frequently, i suppose im a bit of a style whore lol ( beauty junkie style whore maybe thats what i should re-name my blog ha ha )

I do definatly think you should dress for your shape and always buy the correct size or even 1 size larger in some styles. I don't know why but alot of people squeeze into jeans 1 or 2 sizes smaller than they actually are and end up with a huge muffin top.Half the time it's even skinny girls that do it and end up making themselves appear larger . If your curvy embrace your curves be proud and flaunt them, but flaunt them in the right size clothing and don't care what the label says 8 or 18 can both be sexy .

I think a great way to make an outfit your own is with costume jewellery. Even if your strapped for cash Primark do loads of cheap jewellery and accessories that  can make any outfit.

If you have got money to spend on designer clothing, if you choose wisely then it dosn't work out that expensive because a good designer piece can last years.

Tk Maxx is great for picking up some good fashion and beauty bargains and i do love a good bargain.

Look out for among the beauty related reviews and tutorials I will also be adding outfit of the days and fashion posts.

well for now im off to tame the caterpillars so untill later chow xoxoxo

Maybelline Colour show by colorama review .....shade 110 urban coral

Hello and welcome back to the ramblings of a first class junkie but instead of drugs, its make-up, perfume,haircare, body lotions, fake tan, skincare, nail varnish..... oh believe me i could go on and on till the sun comes up.
It's funny because beauty/fashion does have a strange effect on me, and times in my life when im feeling down or depressed the first thing i do is go shopping for new make up, depending how bad i feel depends on how far il go, if we are talking major depression i don't reach for the Ben and Jerry's, i go for the hair dye,next up would be a fake tan followed by a set of eyelash extensions and a manicure.
Seriously i will go shopping for all this new stuff, come home and just sit for the rest of the day pampering and preening.
I wake up the next morning , shower away the fake tan residue, straighten my freshly dyed black /blonde(depending what phase im in)hair.
And you just know i feel so much better that day ready to face the world in my one woman army.
It's really like medication for me , it soothes my soul lol.Medication and therapy all in one.
Now if only i could get all of that on prescription now that would be a result.
Right let's get back on topic my latest purchase is The Maybelline colour show nail polish in urban coral and it was a total bargain from Asda at only £3.00!!!!!

D.I.Y Tooth whitening procedure (Hollywood smile cheap price tag)

£300 Teeth whitening???? Or beautygeekfashionchic's do it yourself version for under £3.00.........!

Hello my lovellies, if like me your obsessed with fashion and beauty and spend time looking at the celeb mags ,then you will know that they all have gorgeous sparkly diamond white smiles.

Now let's face facts they have spent thousands on expensive veneers or at the very least tooth whitening procedures.

Now also if like me you don't have thousands (or even hundreds of pounds spare) to spend on achieving a smile   

simon cowell would be proud of then i have got a little trade secret for you.

The bicarbonate of soda and lemon tooth whitening treatment.

Now if you look in a lot of the ingredients in tooth whitening tooth pastes then you will notice bicarbonate of soda is used frequently. This is because it gets rid of stains (tea, coffee, cola, "cough cough" nicotine)etc.

The lemon is used for the citric acid.

Lemon, bicarbonate of soda and my before smile

What you do is get some bicarb or if u can't get that then baking powder will work just as well.

To the powder you need to squeeze fresh (or if you have to, then bottled will do but make sure its pure lemon juice.)

The second the juice hits the powder it reacts and froths up.
Now you can get it to a consistency that you like.
Actually like is not a word to be used here because believe me you need to hold your breath the second you  begin because the taste is dreadful.
You get a toothbrush and dip it into the mixture(after you have give it a mix and got a nice paste)
Brush your teeth for as long as you can stand or about 3 minutes.
The taste is disgusting, like a really salty bleachy kind of yukiness eughh...... your tongue wants to escape from your mouth and you want to hunt me down and ram the remaining mixture down my throat, but before you hit the unfollow button, get a glass of water, rinse your mouth out and look in the mirror.
Hopefully you will notice a whiter set of teeth shining back at you.
The first treatment wont be a miracle but if you do it weekly you should notice a huge difference.
Don't do this treatment frequently (more than once a week) as the acid in the lemon will damage your enamel if done say on a daily basis.
If done weekly and you rinse with water (you will want to ,to rid your mouth of the taste lol) then no harm should be done.
Remember it is recommended to visit a dentist every six months anyway.

And voila there you have it, it may take a few weeks to achieve but its a lot kinder on your wallet leaving you with more money to spend on new shoes...bags..lipgloss....you get my drift lols.
