What's new with you?

I went to my friends 31st Birthday on Saturday. Had a great time, all the girls from work came out and this is what I wore. I went for simple smudged black liner with individual lashes and messy backcombed hair. My outfit is all from New Look and its all pretty new. 

I bought Glamour today. I have bought a magazine in ages! Not since my Elle Subscription ran out in December. In this month's issue (April 2012) you get a free full size Shampoo, Conditioner, Treatment or Styling Cream. Worth a look?

I've got so much work on at the moment. I'm a little stressed, but it's all worth it right? I'm so glad I chose to do a degree with the Open University. Thank you to everyone who recommended it to me. Best decision I've ever made! 

Also three good things:

• I tried on Size 10 jeans in New Look and they are slightly loose.
• I've bought a new point and shoot camera to film videos for my Youtube Channel. I might also start doing vlogs if you guys want to see that?
• My friends booked me to do another friends wedding makeup next year. Hopefully I'll get a chance to do more event makeup, its basically getting paid to do my hobby.

Hope you are all well,

Onna

FOTD: A New Year Giveaway, Best Friends & Dominos Pizza

It's a new year and hopefully a new start. I know everyone makes resolutions at this time of year but after a very bad month I'm in need of a change. I've been wanting to get this post up for ages but I've have technical problems, family problems, guy problems, work problems. It all went a bit wrong in December if I'm honest. Here's to a fresh start and a year full of blogging, video making, laughs and happiness. 

Just a quick outfit for you. Sorry my bras showing in the OOTD, was just the flash I promise. This coat is from New Look and its definitely a love it or absolutely HATE IT kind of piece. Personally I love it, its so warm and snug and I don't care what anyone thinks, because I'm going to keep wearing it. In case you were wondering the apple pendant is from accessorize. 

This is me and one of my best friends Keara on a night out at Christmas. I'm loving wearing my hair curly at the moment and I've actually got a bit of fake tan on in this picture, so I don't look so hideously white. 

She came round for a girly sleepover about a month ago and it was so much fun. We put on face masks, watched chick flicks and stuffed our face with dominos. We had one of the meal deal pizza offers and it was amazing. Dominos is the kind of food that, even when I'm full I keep eating because it tastes so good! In fact I'm really hungry as I write this and am meant to be starting a January Diet! P.S Sorry about the stock photo, my pizza pictures got deleted off my computer then my phone got nicked :S 

Lastly I just wanted to say hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and Happy & Safe New Years. Just to spread the Christmas joy I thought I'd do a quick giveaway of the Barry M Vivid Purple Nail Polish. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post and live in the UK. Simples. 

My Everyday Makeup Routine...

 

Sorry about the crap photos, the lighting was awful with the weather outside today.. I'll try and take some pictures when its sunny! These ones kept going blurry too :S 

I filmed my "Everyday Makeup Routine" today and uploaded it to YouTube, I'm sure you will all be very excited to find out what I slap on my face on a regular basis. 

Also I dyed my hair, do you like it? A Video on the dye I used, and tips etc will be uploaded within the next couple of days :) This Raspberry Nail Paint from Barry M is my new favourite winter polish. I love anything with a reddish tone at the moment, hence why I'm basically living in this T-Shirt from New Look. Although in real life it's almost purple. 

Hope you are all doing well,

OOTD: Rocking the Vintage...

I tweeted last night about an 80's vintage blazer my mum gave me and thought I'd pop it into an outfit of the day post. This outfit is pretty black, but I was only going to work. Had a rubbish day and got sent home from work after 2 HOURS! I hate this bloody recession. Starting my uni course very soon, I'm pretty excited but I'm going to be soon busy with that, and working a much as possible. I'm currently saving to move out, scary stuff! 

 

My makeup is really minimal today as I was feeling so lazy. Just a touch of Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation, Maybelline black gel liner and L'oreal Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black.

FOTN: I turned 20! :)

So yesterday was my 20th birthday and to celebrate with my blogging friends I thought I'd show you a few snaps from my birthday party. Also thank you so much for all the "Happy Birthday's" on twitter! Made my day! I had the most amazing night and all my friends are little stars! We had pre-drinks at mine, including vodka jelly (yum) then proceeded to get even more drunk in town. I've been requested to make a video/blog post on what I got so I'll do that a little later on.

OOTD: I'm just too hot...

...to wear makeup. I didn't want to put foundation on today as I'm boiling, which resulted in very few OOTD pictures for you as I didn't feel like showing much of my face. Also sorry for the bra showing, I can't think of an excuse for that. 

Shorts: Primark

Vest: New Look

Necklace: New Look

Waistcoat: New Look

The back of the waistcoat is my favourite part of the outfit... so pretty and girly, not something I would usually go for. And as you can see I went for the usually messy updo. 

Have a good week,
