A couple of faces

Just a couple of looks from the last little while. As usual I have forgotten most of what I was wearing because I am a rubbish beauty blogger!

 

Absolutely no clue!

 

Ahh I know this one as I did this look for my guest post on Floamia's blog :)

 

Here my eyes are  Brazen Cosmetics Jaded eyeshadow with Collection 2000 Glam Crystals glitter eyeliner in Dig It.

 

Here I know I'm wearing Illamasqua Cream Pigment in Emerge on my eyes and Atomic lipstick.

 

And here I'm wearing Milani Oran-gina lipstick

Also just a wee little plug ('cause I am annoying :P) to say that our Jewels and Ghouls collection launches tonight at 12 Midnight GMT and the 10% off ends tomorrow so you have a day to use it on the Halloween goodies :)

Lynnderella - princess of polishes!

A while ago I ordered some polishes from Lynnderella. You may have heard of her, she's a fantastic frankener who, a few months ago, finally gave in and started selling her amazing glitter creations. I love the colours I got, particularly Connect the Dots, an amazing and completely unique black and white glitter polish.

Here is one coat over Illamasqua Jo'Mina.

It's just so amazing! Like instant nail art. It looks great over all colours of creme polish!

I also made a video about the polishes, you can see the other colours I got :)

 

Her shop only opens at certain times so she can handle the orders easily and it's actually about to open tonight! She only ships to the US at the moment (I got mine through Wendy) and there is a 5 bottle minimum order. Unfortunately this means I can't afford to buy any more right now :( But if you can you should get what you like while she's open!  Some of the Halloween collection are just gorgeous looking. Boo hoo!

Plug Plug Plug

Ok this is my last shameless self promotional post for a little while.

On monday our Halloween collection is coming out

 

Ghosts and bats and witches and pumpkins oh my!

And we have a blog,  a twitter and a facebook page please add us if you'd like to. No pressure mind :P

Thank you so much to all the people who have ordered so far, it's really been amazing!  Our UK orders have started arriving and people seem to like their goodies so far, which is a big relief!

Ok now there will be makeup on this blog again, I promise! :P

I love the nightlife

 On saturday my friend Xenia and I went out for a boogie. I was really happy as I hadn't been dancing in ages and I love to go dancing! Also it was the first time this year I have managed to go out on the town and not had  a panic attack at some point! Wahey! :D We had a lot of fun except for when Xenia decided to snog some guy she didn't actually fancy (so we had to spend the rest of the night avoiding him) and when she nearly got into a fight with a bunch of really annoying girls at the bus stop on the way home. Wahey!... :/

Here is my face:

  

  

Wearing:

Face: Illamasqua skin base foundation in 2, ELF Studio HD powder, can't remember my blush

Eyes: MUA matt (sic) eyeshadow in 18, Collection 2000 glam crystals glitter eyeliner in Night Fever

Lips: Sleek Pout Paint in Peek-a-Bloo

And here is my outfit:

 

It's my favourite nautical playsuit from New Look. Unfortunately I have.. uhh... 'grown' since I first got it and it isn't quite so flattering now :P

And now some hilarius drunken outtakes!

We're open!

Wooooo!!! *throws confetti*

 www.calloohandcallay.com

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments on my last few posts, your support means so much! I hope you like what we've got on sale :) If you happen to see any bugs with the site please tell me.

Edit: the prices are in dollars because of the way Storenvy (which is hosting our store) is set up. We ship from the UK to anywhere in the world :)

Sneaky Peek

Sooo yes, now it's been revealed that our little business is selling jewellery I thought I'd show you just a few pieces before our launch tomorrow :)

Everything has been designed by either me or Claire or both of us together. It's taken a lot of time and effort to get to this stage, months of sampling pieces, making small changes and sampling again, finding good places for findings, building the website etc etc and it is so SO exciting to finally be ready to launch!

Our jewellery is all made of acrylic plastic with a whimsical, fun and quirky feel.

So here are a few pieces! 

We sell laser cut and engraved acrylic. Like this:

   

Or this:

 

And also printed acrylic.

Like this:

 

Or this:

 

I hope you'll all take a little look at our shop, if for no other reason than to see my hilarious 'modelling' :P Sadly we can't afford to hire proper models so it's just Claire and I for now. It was fun anyway!

We'll be launching tomorrow at 12 noon GMT keep an eye on my blog for the address :)

Callooh and Callay!

So I know I've been quite a bad blogger recently and I apologise but I had good reasons!

Finally, finally, the project Claire and I have been working on since the beginning of the year is ready to be shared with the public!

So may I present to you Callooh and Callay - purveyors of fine acrylic jewellery

 

All the fun of the fair for you to wear!

We're just adding the final touches to the website and our grand opening will be on monday. 

I'll be updating today or tomorrow with some sneak peeks so stay tuned :)

Thank you all for your support.

Flakies!

Mmm flakies, one of the most glorious kinds of polish ever. I love glitter but flakies are like opals for your nails! I also like the name, 'flakies' sounds a bit... nasty, it reminds me of flaking skin and that amuses my childish mind  :D I only actually own 3 and need more, particularly some of the gorgeous ones from Inglot. Anyway here's a couple of manicures using lovely flakies.

 

 

This was Models Own Spring Green with GOSH Rainbow over the top.

 

And this was ELF Mango madness with NFU-Oh 47 on top. It was subtler than the green mani but still very pretty. But I can't leave my nails alone so I...

 

Mattified it! Ahhh <3 I'm not usually the biggest fan of matte nails but putting a matte topcoat over flakies somehow makes them look even more magical, like hidden glowing jewels.

What's your favourite flakie polish?

My First Trip to Westfields OOTD and FOTD

About a week ago my Mum, sister Lyd, Claire and I went on a little expedition to Westfields. It was my first time ever going there. I really like it, I was worried because it's so popular but because it's so big it wasn't really crowded at all and it ended up being a really nice laid back day. I didn't buy much at all (I'll pop what I did get into a immense haul post that's coming up that will span about months :P) but had a lovely time looking around and eating ice cream and sitting in the comfy seats scattered around.

Here's what I wore:

 

When I get my photo taken I like to stand like Peter Pan. 

 

Here my skirt is puffed out so I look like I have a giant belly :P

Hat: Primark

Cardigan: H&M

Dress: New Look

Tights: dunno (they're just white opaque)

Shoes: Office

The hat didn't stay on long, sadly it's a tiny bit too big for my head. Basically as soon as I got off the tube and was walking the hundred or so yards to the shopping centre a large gust of wind blew it off and away. I had to run after it and actually shouted 'my hat!' like some feeble woman. My sister and I were disappointed no amazingly handsome and eccentric man reached the hat at the same time as me, and then our eyes would meet and so on like in films.

I felt like doing quite a soft, neutral look which isn't my usual thing. I liked it though and it was quick and easy, which is good for lazy ol' me.

 

 

Face: Illamasqua Skin Base foundation in 2 mixed with some moisturiser, can't remember my blush.

Eyes:  Ginger eye brow powder,  Geek Chic Cosmetics eyeshadows in Princess in Distress and The Imp, black mascara

Lips: ELF Studio Pout Perfector 

Oh also in my last post I mentioned that I really want a CP for some of the Wet n Wild On the Prowl polishes, but they're tricky to find as Wet n Wild seem to be sneaky buggers. If anyone in the US is also looking for them there's a really handy interactive map of sightings on Nouveau Cheap here. They also have one for the Dream Weavers collection :)

CP request

Hullo everyone.

I've fallen in love with a lot of polishes from the Wet n Wild On the Prowl collection and would love it if someone could do a CP for me. However I've heard Wet n Wild collections are sort of tricky and don't appear that many places. If anyone has seen them or has some sort of access to them could you please email me at: lillianfunnyface@hotmail.co.uk

Thanks a lot!

And now just so this post isn't totally lame and boring have a photo of me from around 2003 (I think) during my 'faerie phase' -__-

 

Oh God...

If anyone used to play 'Creatures' I think I look a bit like a Norn. Or something from the Dreamstone.
