Retro Rockabilly inspired OOTD

Hello Lovelies,

If there’s one thing you probably all didn’t know about me is that I am a huge fan of the 50s, americana, hot rods, vintage, pin up fashions, tattoos, rockabilly and the punk scene.

I try to inject a little bit of this in to everything I do. Granted some days it’s less appropriate than others but there’s always one little twist about me and my outfits, from my hair in victory rolls, retro glasses, jewellery, trademark red ‘pin up’ lips or my outfit and accessories.

I’m not in it to be a cool kid but for as long as I can remember, it’s been my interest so as a goal for 2012, I am trying to bring this out even more. I used to be in a vintage style 24/7 but I felt it wasn’t work appropriate at the time but now as I work in a relaxed IT office, I think it’s time to rev it up a bit.

This is my OOTD I wore at the weekend.

Black sleevless pencil dress. You can find something moderately similar from Simply Be HERE
Grey and black leopard print cardigan
Thin red belt
Thick black tights
Lady Luck dolly shoes from TUK

I accessorised with a black clip frame leopard print bag, victory rolls in the front of my hair, a tiny red flower in the back fastening my ponytail, Tramp by Illamasqua on the lips and my gorgeous husband acting as arm candy 😉

Hope you like it. I certainly had fun wearing it! Do you like vintage fashions?

Avene Tolerance Extreme moisturiser

Hello Lovelies,

I am in love with the Avene Tolerance Extreme moisturiser. Let me just get that out there right now! It’s awesome.

Tolerance Extreme is a moisturiser specifically designed for hypersensitive and allergic skin. It contains the purest ingredients without any potentially irritating additives < Sounds good right?!

I use this moisturiser night and day and have not had a reaction to it at all. It soothes and nourishes. It feels quite a thick cream when you apply but it soaks in well and leaves skin feeling moist all day without that clammy feeling you sometimes get.

I let the moisturiser soak in for about 10 minutes before I apply my make up and I have no issues with application.

This is the 2nd item from Avene I have tried and continue to be impressed. The Eau Thermale is still a god send and I’ve just started to use the cleansing lotion. Been using that for about a month and I’m getting on well with it. Looking forward to trying more of the range seeing as I have had such positive experiences so far… which is rare for me and my H.S skin!

Unscented, unpretentious and readily available in Boots. If you have sensitive or hyper sensitive skin, I really recommend this moisturiser.

Have you tried Avene before? What do you use on your sensitive skin?

Beauty is thirsty work with Benefit and Coke

Hello Lovelies,

To my knowledge, this hasn’t been that widely promoted but as part of the ‘Get Glam’ promotion launch, Benefit and Coke have teamed up together to bring us gorgeous new cans AND discounts!

There are 3 themed cans and 3 matching looks available. Romantic, a floral pairing of Hibiscus’s and pink lips, Fashionista, a red lipped dog tooth and Rock Chick, a gold lipped animal printed mix

(L-R) Romantic, Fashionista and Rock Chick

For every promotional pack of Diet Coke, you will receive £5 off Benefit when you spend £20.

Fab eh!

Super exciting and it makes a pleasant change from the usual Nails Inc offers or the more recent Christmas offerings with Models Own.

You can find further details of this off here HERE on the Benefit website or HERE on the Coke website.

Will you be stocking up on Coke to snaffle this offer? I will!
