A little belated Valentines post but never mind, this look is too gorgeous not to share! We both hope everyone had a fun Valentine's day. If you're not into all the lovey-dovey crap then this makeup is most definitely for you.
 So, if you read our Valentines makeup look you will notice that we used all the same makeup products as the last look. We regularly use both high end and drug store makeup so it's a nice mix of both.

The eyes are definitely the focal point of this whole entire look. Rachel created this by using our recently gifted Naked Smokey Palette - which is absolutely stunning for dark looks! So definitely right up our street as two goth girls. You can rock this look with either a dark lip for extra boldness or a nude lip for a more understated look.

Have a great weekend everyone!

BASE
 L'Oreal Infallible Matte Foundation in Vanilla
Barry M Liquid Chrome Drops
L'Oreal Infallible Matte Powder in Vanilla
Urban Decay All Nighter Concealer Fair Neutral
Makeup Revolution Blush Palette in Blush Queen
Urban Decay Highlighter in Sin


Eyebrows -

Lips -

Hey everyone, Valentines day is fast approaching and I'll use any excuse to do a themed make up look! This is my own twist on a romantic look. Rachel's anti-valentine day makeup look will be getting posted later this week so keep your eyes peeled for that!

I done my usual base routine, nothing too fancy but I always love using a lot of highlighter to get a lovely glow - desperately wanting to be a glowy unicorn is easy with my new found love, Barry M Liquid Chrome Drops. I just mix it in with my foundation and it looks gorgeous.

For my eyes, I used a blusher palatte to get a really pink, lovely romatic look. I love it! I used some reds and a purple in my crease from my UD Alice in Wonderland palette just to darken it up a little. I wont say too much on the mascara and eyeliner as we have in-depth reviews coming up on them!

To finish the look I used a classic, sexy red lip. I love this lipstick but it does seem to crack a little through out the day and wears off around the middle of my lip as the bottom photo shows -arghh! Still, absolutely gorgeous and is the perfect finishing touch.

What are you up to this Valentines?

Our 21st Today! | 21 Things We've Learnt


As I'm writing this post, I'm sitting here with the biggest chunk of cake - not just any cake, an incredibly, stunning hand made unicorn cake! With a cup of tea of course because it's our 21st! Yep, we are officially big girls. So I thought I'd write one of those reflecting-back-on-life posts because let's face it, that's what we all do on birthdays. Another year older and hopefully a lot wiser.

1. Not Everyone is Horrible - I've met shitty people, we've both dated shitty people but guess what? Not everyone is the same. Not everyone is this world is malicious but unfortunately, some are. Trust people when they've earned it. Keep faith that some people are kind.

2. Take Up New Opportunities! - Speaks for it's self! get all the experience you can get!

3. Don't Like Something? Give It Up! - Including jobs, people or something else. Don't be miserable. There is always something out there.

4. Live Life To The Fullest - This is in connection to number 3, do things that make you happy!

5. Love Yourself - Because you deserve it!

6. Put Yourself First - This is important. Take care of others but don't forget about yourself either. 

7. Never Give Up Hope - I've felt lost so many times but the best thing you can do is get back on your feet and be positive. Harder said than done.

8. Be Yourself -  We fully embrace our alternative style and we've never felt better within ourselves or style! 

9. Art & Music is Our Passion - No matter what, we always draw & make music and it makes us feel at peace. Art is such a creative thing and never fails to cheer us up or inspire us. 

10. Health is so important! Having the flu taught me this, especially in this last year.

11. Having a Blog Makes Us Happy - We love our little space in the internet - the ultimate escape from the real world!

12. High End Make Up Is Worth It! Urban Decay makes me the happiest girl ever and also makes me feel like the ultimate badass makeup queen. Definitely worth spending my money on! 

13. Metal Music is Superior. 

14. Red Wine is Surprisingly Amazing! - Having never tried it before, I found out a week ago that I love the red stuff! 

15. My Family is Everything - I don't know what I'd do without them!

16. Heartbreak Gets Easier - I thought my heart would be broken forever but with time, it's healed. 

17. Bad Relationships Aren't Worth It - Cut those toxic negative people out of your life. All they do is hurt you over and over again.

18. Travelling Is The Best Thing You Can Do - Spending our money on experiences is so important to us.

19. Bubble Baths Are The Best - There is nothing better than getting a bath and putting on cosy pyjamas afterwards!

20. Time goes so fast - Make the most of it! 

21. I couldn't do this life without my twin sister - I love you so much Rach! 

There you have it! What have you learnt this past year?

Spider Girl

What I'm Wearing:
VELVET HOODIE - H&M
LEGGINGS - BOOHOO
BOOTS - MISSGUIDED

Hey everyone, hope everyone is enjoying the first few days of February! I'm so glad January is over as I was so so sick but now I'm feeling much better and just in time for my birthday on the 7th, yay! 

This outfit was just something I wanted to throw on as I'm still recovering from the flu. I also love outfits that look stylish but are so comfortable and easy to throw on. I always grab my velvet hoodie from H&M when I want to put something warm on. I absolutely love velvet, it's my favourite material in the whole entire world and I'd wear it every single day if I could. As an alternative gal, I wanted to add some 'weird' to my outfit so I wore my spider web leggings from the Boohoo Halloween collection because after all, everyday is Halloween to me! These leggings are really soft material and they're just so comfy to wear! I'm wearing my all time favourite boots too that I got for Christmas! They're suede and lace up all the way up past the knee which I love. I think I'll have these boots for ages because they're so well made plus I'm in love with them! This is one of my favourite outfits to just throw on for a casual day and to be warm and stylish too! 

Would you wear these spider web leggings?

You Are We

What I'm Wearing:
TOP - BAND MERCH
SHORTS - PRETTY LITTLE THING
BOOTS - PRIMARK

I've been loving blogging recently so here we are, with another post! My favourite posts to do are fashion ones. I have a lot of black clothes - a slight obsession I have, perhaps? And being a metal head musician, it's only natural I have many band tops in my collection, right? This one I'm wearing is my newest addition and already my favourite! Bought at a While She Sleeps gig, which was seriously mind blowing, fun and insane, I had to get a band top to keep as a memento from one of my favourite gigs.
While She Sleeps really do the most gorgeous, creative merch so I was a bit spoilt for choice.. but I obviously had the get the top with the dog on it! Albeit looking quite vicious, I love it! I love the use of the bright red writing along the sleeves, in Chinese I think? Regardless of the language, I adore how much thought has clearly gone into this top! While She Sleeps, stealing my heart all over again with their aesthetic both musically and fashion wise! 

These shorts are seriously the cutest shorts I have. They're so cute and I just love the added detail of the frills on the bottom on the hem. They're velvet too (my favourite!) and add a bit of cuteness to whatever outfit I chose to wear.

The boots are from Primark! I know, they're amazingly gorgeous and stylish! Not to mention affordable. It's lovely knowing you can get cheap but gorgeous fashion these days for us poorer folk :P Look at the buckles and zip details! Also, these boots are so comfortable to wear. I pop these on and instantly feel like a 90's grunge queen. 

Have you got any band tops?

Glasses Shop.com - The Place To Go For The Best Glasses!

I think everyone loves buying a good pair of sunglasses because let's face it, sunglasses look awesome on everyone. They protect your eyes in the suns harmful rays and they are great to pop on when you're having a 'no make-up' day. Sunglasses are just cool - fact.

But finding the right pair of sunglasses can be incredibly hard. Especially when, like me, you need to wear prescription glasses. My eyesight is absolutely terrible and I am always wearing my eyeglasses to be able to read, watch TV and do daily mundane things. So, unfortunately I haven't had the chance to wear sunglasses much because I can't afford prescription sunglasses and plus, many prescription sunglasses out on the market aren't too pretty and many of the designs are old fashioned. Or so I thought. Recently, a kind lady from the Glasses shop reached out to us via email to review a pair of sunglasses or eye glasses of out choice. Looking through the website we were absolutely spoiled for choice! There were so many glasses frames and styles to choose from. Finally we decided to go for some blue mirrored coated Aviator style shades.

Intoducing GlassesShop.com

It's very to safe to say that I am absolutely over the moon with these sunglasses! I mean, look at how stunning they are. I love the blue, reflective lenses. Also, the sunglasses are really dark too so they're going to be perfect in the summer when the sun is at it's brightest and most harmful. I can see through the lenses so clearly too which is always a major plus. These sunglasses also have an anti-scratch coating on to ensure the lenses stay perfect for as long as possible! I am just so in love with my new fashion accessory and I recommend the glasses shop to everyone.

We have very kindly been given a 50% off code which includes eyeglasses, sunglasses  with free lenses only throughout the glassshop.com website with the exception of sales frames. CODE IS - GSHOT50 

Be sure to check out this incredible shop. Their range is massive and I think I'll be treating myself to some new eyeglasses soon. These shades are perfect for anyone that struggles with their vision. You only need to put in your eye prescription in whilst ordering - simple!

Casual but Definitely 'Me'.

WHAT I'M WEARING 
 Bag - Primark
Tights - Primark
Choker - Forever 21
Jumper - Primark
Pink Top - Boohoo
Silver Shorts - Boohoo
Boots - River Island

Hello to all our lovely readers. It's been a bit of a rough week this week (let's not even get into it yet.) What's better than to sit down with a cup of tea, write a blog post and just relax? It's nice to get lost inside the world of blogging. I'm bringing you another outfit post today and although it's casual it's still very much 'me'. I love this silver shorts from Boohoo. They're actually running shorts but I wear them just for everyday wear! As if I'm going to wear shorts this pretty for working out. 

Is everyone else still obsessed with clothes with the corset, lace-up effect? I'm sure the certain design has a proper name but to me, it looks corset-like so we will stick with that for now. The jumper I'm wearing from Primark is one of my ultimate, comfy but stylish picks. It looks amazing while keeping me cosy. What's not to love about that?! I love the pop of pink coming through too from my top from Boohoo.
Do you guys like my little blue/green bag? I don't know if I'm colour blind but I think it's blue while my mum thinks it's green... what do you think? Whatever the colour it's still gorgeous and reminds me of a mermaids tail. 


I don't know if you can see my choker but it's see through with holes in it. It's hard to describe but I thought it looked so cyber! I'll probably do more outfit posts featuring this choker so keep your eyes peeled if you want to see it in all it's cyber glory!

On a side note I've just eaten vegan ice cream that doesn't contain banana - it was the creamiest ice cream ever and tasted so good. It was two ingredients were chocolate and nuts too! It was by the amazing dairy free brand Alpro and the flavour was Hazelnut chocolate! Try it everyone because you won't regret it! 

How is your week going? Let us know!

Creep/Artist

Creep Jumper - H&M | Artist Jacket - Forever 21 | Lace Skirt - Forever 21  | Tights - Primark | Creepers - River Island

It's Tuesday, so happy Tuesday everyone! I've been feeling a little low lately - it's just one of those times in my life where I feel a bit lost and I haven't got motivation to do much. It's hard to get out of bed sometimes but I know this feeling isn't permanent. I've just got to take care of myself and give myself lots of TLC! 

I don't know about you guys but my idea of TLC is wearing some bad ass outfits that make me feel amazing. I've found some absolutely amazing clothes recently, one of those being this awesome slogan ''creep'' jumper. The slogan looks so good running down the sleeves - I really want more clothes like this! My mum actually got me this top from H&M (Thanks mum, you're a diamond). I find this top great in this chilly but bright weather.

And look at my fucking incredible denim jacket from Forever 21! The minute I saw this sleeveless jacket in the shop window, I had to get it. Being a girl with creative interests, a massive love of drawing and playing musical instruments, how could I possibly not get this jacket with ''artist'' written all over the back!? It was £35 but I know for sure that I'll have this piece for years to come and get a lot of wear out of it. 

Have you found any great denim clothes in the shops recently? Let us know!

A Touch Of Pink

    Dip Dyed Crop top - Boohoo | Shorts - Primark  | Tights - Primark 


Hello everyone! Sorry for not being as active on the blogging scene lately, life gets in the way sadly. But I'm really pleased that we managed to get some outfit photos today in the lovely sunshine.

 I've been looking for some new Summer clothes recently because we're going on holiday to Greece at the end of April - SO EXCITED. We haven't been on holiday for years and we've only been abroad twice. I think I was too excited daydreaming about my holiday in Greece when I put this outfit on this morning and forgot I was in Liverpool, freezing my ass off despite the bright sunshine.
 I don't have many colourful clothes in the slightest but hey, it's getting warmer (supposedly) and I thought I'd embrace some more colour in my life! Introducing this gorgeous pink and white crop top from Boohoo! This was only £4 so it was such a bargain! The material is lovely, it's a great fit and I love the hint of pink as it's not too over whelming for a girl like me that doesn't wear much pink at all. I can see myself chilling in this cute top all Summer - hopefully minus the big black woolly jumper like I'm wearing over it now!

These shorts. These adorable lace trimmed shorts were just £12 from Primark and I absolutely love them. I think sometimes plain denim shorts can be a little boring but the lace on these beauties adds a little more detail and sexiness to any outfit which I love of course! I think this outfit shows that you don't have to spend loads of money on Summer clothes. You can't buy style - it's how you pair your clothes together that matters! 

Have you found any Summer bargains?

Mini Collection Haul


Hi everyone, we have a lovely Spring inspired beauty haul for you all today. It's only a small haul but it was a very successful one! Collection has always been one of my high street brands. I find that Collection tends to go unnoticed because it's so cheap and with other brands like Maybelline and L'Oreal to compete with it can be hard for a brand to compare. However, I've picked up these bargain buys from Collection and I have to say that they're some of the best products I've bought for a while! 

Collection Primed and Ready Correct and Conceal Palette - This small and compact palette caught my eye because how many new colour correcting palettes have been released lately?! there is so much choice! I've never really colour corrected before and I think it can be a bit overwhelming to pick up a palette with 6 shades of greens, lilacs and oranges! But I was curious and this palette only has two colour correcting shades, one setting powder and a normal skin coloured concealer. Green neutralizes redness and blemishes while the lilac corrects yellow tones. This was so cheap at only £3.99! But it really works! and having used Collection's infamous concealer - I had high hopes for the colour correcting shades and it's surpassed all my expectations. It's incredible! I urge anyone who is new to colour correcting to get this palette - it's already a staple of mine! It brightens my whole face up and stays put all day.

Collection Primed and Ready Mattifying Pore Minimiser Face Primer - This has witch hazel in it and that alone sold this primer to me. Witch Hazel helps prevent blemishes and is a skin savior in my eyes. What's not to like about that? This primer is amazing and keeps my make up on all day long. It makes my skin so smooth while blurring out imperfections. It doesn't feel greasy, makes my skin matte all day long and does exactly what it says on the bottle. A definite must-have!

Collection Primed and Ready Invisible Setting Powder - A good face powder is a stable in my makeup routine. They're just ready handy to have through out the day and during the warmer months powders keep shiny skin at bay. I got this one because it has Witch Hazel in just like the primer and it's also translucent which I really like. I only need to put this powder on after doing my base makeup and I find that I don't need to touch up through out the day - even with my oily skin! At only £3.99, I'll be getting this again.

Collection Colour Lash Clear Mascara - I don't use this as a mascara because I absolutely love to put this on my eyebrows to keep them in place. I hate it when my brows look messy! But this product has seen an end to my untamed eyebrows. I think that a clear mascara is better than an actual eyebrow gel. Have you guys noticed eyebrow gels come in the smallest tubes ever? I ain't got time for that. At just £1.99 - this is an absolute bargain! This is my new eyebrow go - to so go and check it out!

Collection 7 Day Wear Nail Polish in Touch of Pink - Guys. It's Spring. I needed a lovely light pink nail polish and I found it in this one. It's the most gorgeous baby pink colour. I did need a few coats of this polish for an opaque finish but it hasn't chipped at all - even with my guitar playing! I recommend this shade to everyone and Collection nail polishes in general are incredible!

As you can tell from reading this post that me and Rachel are massive fans of Collection makeup. Are you a fan of their products too? Let us know!

Black Velvet & Motorhead

Black Velvet Dress - Vintage | Fishnet Tights - Primark | Boots - ASOS 

This little dress has been in my wardrobe for four years now! I love this dress so much, I have it in three different colours! One thing I always think about when buying new clothes is, "will i still be wearing this in a few years time?" I think it's important buying clothes that last as whats the point in buying a dress and wearing it a few times? Saying that though, I am guilty of buying soooo many clothes and forgetting what I have in my wardrobe hehe.

What do you think of the fluffy cuffs? They're so cute aren't they! My mum actually sewed the fluff on to give it an extra touch and it's worked so well. DIYing clothes is so fun and makes it personal and special to you! Summer is coming up and I can't wait to start making more DIY clothes!
I think this is one of my favourite looks of this month. I love my fishnets and I am so so so glad that Primark have improved the quality of these babies!

By the way everyone, this lipstick is called 'Motorhead' by Kat Von D. I absolutely love this shade. I got it last year as a present and I can't believe it's lasted me until now. The smell of this lipstick is incredible. The staying power is amazingggg but my only problem is that it crumbled a little and feels a little cakey. Still, I love Kat Von D lipsticks! I am yet to try something else from her beauty range! I might have to try the eyeliner as it feels wrong not to! What do you think of her beauty products?

Do you like the goth vibes from this pretty outfit?
