Project No Jeans #1

With Spring finally upon us, and temperatures slowly creeping up, it is with immense gratitude that we're all putting away those thick jumpers and thermal underwear, and bringing out the lighter clothes. Unfortunately, when the weather gets really warm, there is one staple part of the wardrobe that just doesn't cut it in summer: The Jeans.The problem with jeans is that they are never in or out of fashion, so we all know that we're safe wearing them....

Makeup in Film: Hunger Games Special: Effie's Eyelashes

First of all, apologies for this post being a whole four days later (better late than never, right?) but I wasn't happy with the images that I had, so I took the time to do them again, using a different photo-editing program and hopefully the post will be better for it :)I hadn't intended to write another Makeup in Film blog post relating to The Hunger Games, but this was something that I just could no resist sharing because they're so damn cute!!You...

NOTD: I like to Mauve it, Mauve it

Before I begin, I just wanted to have a little ramble: Basically, I've been a little quiet in the land of Barefeet recently. It's not a case of not wanting to blog any more, and I'm certainly not disappearing on you all, my amazing followers, but I have gotten to a stage where I feel like I need to spend a little less time here, because well, I'm sure most of you understand, I'm just running low on time that I can spend working on it. So, I've...

Make Up in film: Hunger Games Special: The Final Countdown

Four more sleeps to go until I get to see this film, and this is of course the last time that you guys have to listen to me harping on about The Hunger Games, on this blog. Instead, all Hunger Games banter will be shifted back over to its rightful place, which is over on the entertainment blog (Shameless Plug: Check it out for Film Chat, News and Stuff!!)So, I spent ages trying to decide who should have the honour of being the face of my final Makeup...

NOTD: Mother's Day Special

Some of you might have noticed that I didn't do a NOTD on Friday. The lack of post was for other reasons, but the lack of a NOTD, more specifically, was because I was saving it for today, which I hope that everyone has remembered is Mother's Day. Basically, this weeks NOTD features my Mum (noting that she doesn't know that I'm posting this) and her current love for OPI, which, like me she loves because the polishes apply so nicely.But anyway, here...

Tip: Flyaway Hair

I think most of us suffer from flyaway hair. I'm not really talking about frizz, as such, but more static. Static is one of those things that I seem to suffer from on most days, and I can only assume that it's because my hair is so fine.  Something I read some time ago, suggested that static is due to the hair being "over-processed" or just too dry, which is why I decided to put this to the test and my solution does appear to work "most" of...

Lush Washing Up Fairy Review

A few weeks ago, I decided to venture into the wonderful-smelling world of Lush for the first time since before Christmas, and before I descended on the poor Sales Assistants of Lincoln, I also decided that I would check out what exciting new products they had on offer, by taking a peek at their website. Now, I'm just going to say that I didn't actually get very far on the Lush website. Not because the website is rubbish, or wasn't working, or anything...

Makeup in Film: Hunger Games Special: Katniss Everdeen

Week Three of our Hunger Games Makeup in Film Special, and another week closer to being able to finally see this film. I believe that tonight sees the premiere over the other side of the pond, in America, with the European Premiere taking place this Wednesday, at the O2 Arena, in London. It's funny, because I'm not really that interested in premieres, but if I could go to any premiere I wanted, it would definitely be this one.I'd initially intended...

Bargain Hunting: A New Bag

Regular readers might remember that some time ago, I picked up an amazing (well, in my opinion amazing) Accessorize shoulder bag from a Charity Shop where I live. I absolutely love that bag. However, seven months down the line, and the bag is started to show it's age a little bit, as the handles have become frayed and are starting to fall apart, irreparably. I'm slightly disappointed, but it sounds like a great excuse to purchase a new bag, right?A...

NOTD: Pompously Purple

To coincide with the return of the more miserable weather, which since initially writing seems to have again been replaced by beautiful sunshine,  I appear to have headed back towards a more wintry shade for this weeks Nail of the Day (I really should rename this Nail of the Week, shouldn't I??). However, I wanted to share this specific colour, because it's a shade that I've been pining over for absolutely ages, after seeing it reviewed...

Help a Fellow Blogger #GoodbyeGFC

Most of us are now probably aware that Google has withdrawn the use of Google Friend Connect for Non-Blogger bloggers. Unfortunately, this has left a fair few bloggers in "blogger exile", as their followers can no longer find them. So, Charlotte of Lipglossiping, and Liloo (@tsunimee) have launched a campaign to reunite bloggers with their followers:http://twitter.com/lipglossiping/goodbye-gfc/membersPersonally, I use bloglovin', but there are lots...

Thoughtful Thursday: 08.03.2011

Today's thought I actually stole from my friend Andrea's Facebook Status, but I really loved it. I don't know where it originally came from, or if she made it up (she is creative after all ;P), but it is definitely worth sharing and of course thinking about...
