Wot A Pic-cha!

(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.

    That's a really clever way of using the brow pen, and it looks so realistic! :)

    The freckles look very pretty. I have always wanted freckles. I have many many moles but that is not the same thing :( xx

    Ah the hat! The hat is so cute on you! I'd love to see it with a floral print dress. :)

    Jessi M:
    Oh 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!
