(stick it in your fam'ly album)
The other day I went to Primark, which I have a serious love/hate relationship with. I love the prices and a lot of the stock but loathe the shop itself. For me it is like Hell on Earth! I got very panicky but had both Claire and my sister with me so managed to get through the shop and pick up some bits. I couldn't actually find any clothes I liked the look of (Claire and I had seen some lovely stuff from the A/W collection but I get it's not out yet, or at least the shop we were at didn't have any of it) but I picked up some knickers and tights and things. And also this fabulous straw boater for £2!
(here Claire is photobombing me X/ )
I really, really love it. However with the boater and my hair being a sandy-ish colour at the moment I sort of remind myself of Tommy Steele from Half a Sixpence:
Here's my face:
I love freckles. I have some myself but they're mainly solar-activated (seriously, they come out when I'm in the sun and then disappear) and light. When I wear foundation to covere up my redness and stuff it hides them even more. So I've taken to drawing them on. Does it look remotely realistic at all? :P
Wearing:
Face: Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation is 02, GOSH Long Lasting Eyebrow pen in Venetian Brown (used to draw on freckles)
Eyes: Black mascara, High Voltage Cosmetics Eyebrow powder in Red Head
Lips: some very old unlabelled lip stain, clear lip gloss
I'm a happy bunny at the moment :)
I was wondering where all the freckles came from! They look very real to me! And super adorable.
ReplyDeleteoh wow I didn't know you drew them on!
ReplyDeleteThats awesome you drew on your freckles! They look real to me! Love the hat, very cute!
ReplyDeleteThe freckles look ridiculously adorable.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really clever way of using the brow pen, and it looks so realistic! :)
ReplyDeletethat hat = the most amazing thing that i've seen all day. hands down.

The freckles look very pretty. I have always wanted freckles. I have many many moles but that is not the same thing :( xx
ReplyDelete<3 the freckles
ReplyDeleteI love the freckles, they look very natural and cute. I've always loved those hats and it suits you really well! :D
ReplyDeleteAh the hat! The hat is so cute on you! I'd love to see it with a floral print dress. :)
ReplyDeleteJessi M:
ReplyDeleteOh good! I wanted them to look real :D <3
Y:
Marvellous, I fooled you :P
The Peach:
Thank you! I'm very pleased with my £2 hat :D
Jade Carver:
I wish I had better freckles for reals!
LydiaTheStrange:
Thank you! I think I might get another colour too, having some colour variation will look even more realistic... Though owning 2 brow pens for the sole purpose of drawing on freckles is pretty pathetic :P
Glitter Dreaming:
Thank you so much! The hat thanks you too! :D
Ruthy:
Ah I have lots of moles too, though they're all pretty wussy moles.
Cydonian:
Thank you beautiful <3
Lemon Bunny/Mandy:
Thank you! I think the hat suits me to, I need to think of some opportunities to wear it!
Pixie_a_la_mode:
You know I don't think I actually own a floral print dress :O
I love the summery look, it goes very well with the hat! I think the freckle idea is great! It sucks how foundation can sometimes cover up TOO much!
