Outrageous Autumn Beauty Trends

Shorter days, crispy leaves and emerging fluffy lounge garms; Autumn is finally upon us. I am a sucker for Autumn/Winter. Getting cosy and spending long evenings inside watching chick flicks such as Bridget Jones and The Holiday are daily occurrences in my household every fall.
The only slight harrowing prospect of the impending plummet of temperature is the mere thought of going out, out dressed up with no jacket, no leggings and no socks. Goosebumps ain't sexy... so I've heard.
My other blog (Obsessed With Them) deals with the Fall frock dilemma nicely - head over there now for the Pre-Autumn Fashion Prep where you'll find essential, trendy wardrobe staples for under £50 (including that bang-on Pink Trench Trend!).
Over here at Your Desirables I am discussing the Top 3 Most Outrageous Autumn Beauty Trends.

3) Woozy Eye-Lines
How can eye liner that looks like it has been applied after a bottle of rosé ever look good? Tell me.

As seen at:
Rag & Bone


Christian Dior


As Seen On:
Rita Ora at the 2013 GQ Men of the Year Awards


Kendall Jenner in Dominican Republic


2) Grotty Grunge
Achieving this look is easy: Apply make up and dance in the rain. Don't wash for 2-3 days and you're good to go.

As seen at:
Rodarte


Saint Laurent


As seen on:
Cara Delevingne at the Met Ball 2013


Sky Ferreira at the Givenchy 2013 Ready-to-Wear Show


1) Glitter Bombs
Glitter gets everywhere - in your eyes, down your throat, up your bum. We are not 11 years old (unfortunately) so no, I shall not be shimmering my face up!

As seen at:
Chanel


Thakoon


As seen on:
Fearne Cotton


Khloe Kardashian


So there you have the top three most ridiculous trends for this Autumn - doesn't t sometimes make you wonder how we can trust these people when they tell us how to be beautiful?! Would you rock any of these looks? I just couldn't...although Halloween is coming up!

Kardashian Beauty Finally In The UK!


I feel a familiar tinge of excitement to the one I got when the Kardashian Kollection launched in Dorothy Perkins last year! The sad truth is that for us UK Kardashian fans the time delay of everything from the TV shows to the Beauty launch is really starting to get to us...and just when you think you're going to take the plunge and pay £50 for shipping costs, the UK catches up again!
 
Feel Unique are an online beauty and cosmetics retailer which stock everything from DIOR to Essie - and now Kardashian Beauty.
 
Of course, I feel it fit to produce a Lust List! Here it is:
 
 
 
 
The three K sisters have been tweeting about their faves too:
 
"I'm all about the 5 minute make-up routine - my @kbeautyofficial Double Up shadow stick is a necessity" - Kourtney
 
"I'm rocking my fav red lip today, Joystick in Retro Red" - Khloe
 
"Oh oh oh Au Naturel! Love my @kbeautyofficial nude lip color" - Khloe
 
"Nude nails always a DO #cabanacollection" - Khloe
 
"Get the look by accentuating your lashes with this Kardashian Beauty Whip Lash Mascara. And for the perfect red lip, go with Kardashian Beauty's En-joy Stick in the Rose Parade color" - Kim
 
What are you going to be getting?!

Ibiza 2013 - Beauty, Health & Fitness Countdown!

It's official! Ibiza 2013 is booked and the to-do list is in full swing...
 
It's time I got started with STAGE 1:
Early Preparation
 
 
1) The Bun & Thigh Wave Machine is set up in my living room with the accompanying DVD ready to be learnt off-by-heart!
I figured any product with THIS lady on the front which also promises results in just two weeks is definitely worth a try before forking out £50+ a month on the gym! At only £80 from Argos this is a long-term STEAL!
 
 
2) Getting into shape and getting the perf Ibiza body will take more than a few minutes on the Bun and Thigh Wave! I know this! So I'm also participating in the almost impossible 30-Day Squat Challenge AND investing in the ECI Cellulite Treatment! It's not cheating if Kim K gets away with it!! All this as well as the sit-up challenge, skipping rope and mad power walks with the pooch should see me tone up in no time!
 
 
 
3) Eating right is the most important part of the Ibiza countdown challenge! I'm aiming to eat between 1200 and 1500 calories per day - obviously a little more if I'm working out hard. That would be cutting up to 600 calories a day - as well as cutting fatty, unwanted meals like McDonalds and Burger King! It's salad and soup from this moment onwards!
 
4) So I'm getting my diet, cellulite and flab sorted. What about health and beauty?! Well, let's start with my skin:
I hereby solemnly swear that I will cleanse, tone and moisturise every night after removing every scarp of make-up from my face!
Amen...
 
Do any of you fellow bloggers know any pimple remedies??!! I'd really love to start trying out some new lotions and potions to try and clear this blotchy skin of mine!?
 
5) And finally...
Ibiza fashion!
 
WATCH THIS SPACE...I'm pretty sure that the second the 'Project Ibiza' Collection lands at Missguided I will be posting a MASSIVE shopping haul and showing off my new summer wardrobe staples!
 
 
 
Where are you going this summer?!
What are your STAGE 1 plans?!
 
Check out this very blog in July to check out STAGE 2:
The Progress Report!

Catch Up & DISCOUNTS! Come Join Me x

Oh hey there! I've been a little bit too absent recently and for that, I apologise my dears! Not only have I been working ridiculously hard, I am newly single and learning to live a happy little life, just me and Princess (my little 2-year-old Bichon Frise)! I'm going to publish this newfound life on this blog and hope you come along with me for wherever I'm headed. Should be quite a laugh so stick around?!
 
Anyway, where do I start? I celebrated my birthday on Friday night with 10 very fine specimens of the human species. Together we consumed a ridiculous amount of alcohol and partied at Cameo nightclub in Watford, Hertfordshire. Whoever Kelly is who works at Cameo, I owe her a 'Thanks'! Getting a flyer in the post wishing me a 'Happy Birthday' and free drinks and entry for my whole party, it got the night off to a very smooth start! So, thanks Cameo Kelly!
 
I would LOVE to share a picture of my outfit however not one of the mug shots make the cut! My party look right now is totally all about crop tops and pencil skirts! Thanks to my hourglass/pear figure my wide hips and smaller waist work so well with this trend! On Friday my crop top was a lacy, denim, Forever 21 bustier crop which I teamed with an ASOS black sport-luxe pencil skirt! Sambuca comes in handy when it is freezing outside, too!
 
These are my top 3 crops and pencil skirts available online NOW:
 
 
 
1) Crop It Like It's Hot from ASOS - £7.50 (Hellloooo sale item!!)

I've been having a look at what's going on in the beauty bibles, too! An extreeeemely generous friend of mine gave me the gift of Chanel for my birthday which means reviews on their gorgeous mascara and eyeshadow palettes at some point in the next week...hold tight for these! It will be my first ever dabble with designer make-up and I'm hoping it's worth the hype!
One MASSIVE trend I adore right now is the need for C O L O U R!!
 
I'm currently OBSESSED with this lot from the Kinga Sektas Boutique:
 
California Sugarbird Earrings / Love Necklace / Cindy Earrings
 
 
I currently have permission to offer EVERYTHING on the Kinga Sektas website at a discounted offer so if you LOVE these comment below or tweet me @sheldan2207...
I own ALL of the three pieces above and, let me tell you, they are AMAZING...people always comment on them and ask where I got them from. Not only that they are all so summery and on trend right now!
The earrings can be yours for £31.99 per pair and the necklace is just £3 for a limited time only!!!
If you want these or anything else on the site, come at me for the discounts!
I'll be doing my top 3 offers throughout the weeks for this boutique - whilst the offer's on we may as well use it, eh?!
 
So we've discussed clothes, life, beauty and jewellery...welcome back to the wannabe glam life of ME! Stop by tomorrow, I will be discussing unpredictable weather and how to dress up the forecasts!

Natural Nails

After disgracefully taking off ALL of my acrylics over the weekend in true unladylike style I decided to get a fresh full set all nice and natural!

THIS is my new look:
 
 
I love the pale, creamy look that I've got! Perfect for pretty much most outfits - I'll never clash with my nails! The polish is from Misa Nail Lacquer in Snow White.
 
This is my mini lookbook/ inspirations for the new mani:
 
 
I love the way a natural mani can look classy and stylish even when you're trying to dress up. Don't get me wrong, I'm not about to wear my embellished turquoise underwear as outerwear like Blake, or match my nails with my 1,000,000,000 carat rings, but the pearly finish dresses up my fingers quite delicately!

Thrifty Thursday - Bare-Faced Bravery

For those of us on a tight budget, Spring's latest beauty trend is a god-send in disguise!
 
Bare-faced beauty is the trend to be rockin' right now and although the last time this look was 'in' it was a total fake (I had to wear layers and layers of dewy foundation) this time round things have changed...
 
 
Versace S/S13
 
 
Alexander McQueen S/S13
 
 
Rick Owens S/S13
 
Very simply, the easiest way to be bang on trend every single day.
Quick beauty formula:
Concealer + Tinted Moisturiser + Powder
=
Naturally Nude
 
I've literally sorted this look for under £5, too!
 
3ml Mini Calvin Klein Infinite Hydration Foundation in Soft Beige (which I got for £1.40 on eBay!),
&
 
 
You can leave your eyebrows as natural as you please and there's no need for mascara!
If you're feeling too naked for the day why not put two of Spring's biggest trends together and add a neon lip?!
 
 
Missoni S/S13
 
 
Giles S/S13
 
 
What's your Spring look?

KoKo's Killin' It!

I am absolutely LOVING Khloe Kardashian's looks right now! Her daytime shabby chic get up looks comfy, versatile and bang on trend and she's always managed to pull off a smokin' red lip like a pro!

Let's begin with the Arthur George socks tucked perfectly inside those fresh Timberland's!! Rob Kardashian's sock line is available online at agsocks.com and luckily for us they now do international shipping! I'm feeling to grab a few pairs on pay day especially the dip dyes (http://agsocks.com/dip-313.html), diamond leg warmers (http://agsocks.com/tights-leggings/diamond-warmer.html) and couture zebra prints (http://agsocks.com/zebra.html)! All very hot trends this Spring!

Can I move on to her AMAZING LIPS?!?! If I had to bizarrely chose my favourite lips of all time, Khloe would win hands down! They're always so juicy looking, whether she's rocking a nude or a fuchsia! I mentioned in my beauty post last week that I'm going to be bold and rock some brighter shades this summer! If you ever needed to plump that pout, using statement shades is the way to go...

Luckily for me not only has my hair grown, it has grown FAST! So I sort of look like I tried that dip dye hair trend that went on last month...I'm happy Khloe is still sporting the same look! If she could carry this on until I have my hair done it would be awesome! What are the hottest hairstyles at the moment? I'll investigate this for tomorrow's post!

What do you think of Khloe's socks and lippy? Hot or not?!

April Lust List - Look Like An Angel, Play Like The Devil...

The transition from Winter to Spring is always awkward: Too warm for coats, too chilly for bare skin. Awkward wardrobe change aside, what I adore about this time of year is the sudden resurrection of colour - blues, pinks, oranges and purples to be topically correct! I can't get enough of the Ombre Trend right now (which is basically a neat version of tie dye, I'm sure!) as well as the super cute sunglasses that you can grab for such a bargain, too! 
I'm going through a phase where I love to team very feminine pieces with accessories or make-up that add a subconscious attitude to the outfit! Looks like an angel, plays like the devil...
Without further ado let me present this month's Lust List - credit cards at the ready!

H&M :          Slingbacks   /   Clutch   /   Dress

Missguided : Shorts   /   Cat Shades   /   Jumpsuit

 
 
River Island :    Dress   /   Crop Top   /   Tank
 
Kardashian Kollection :   Wedges   /   Clutch   /   Tote
 
 
ASOS : Necklace   /   Watch   /   Earrings   /   Jacket   /   Dungaree Dress   /   Socks
 
 
 
What do you guys think? Have I missed something off? I'm sure there's more that I want!
 
What's on your lust list?

Spring Pastel Mani

Got my nails done today - wayyy overdue as the other ones were cracking off all over the place!
 
Loren Ridinger Tweeted THIS:
 
 
Which I simply ADORE - the layered design, the pretty pastels, the dainty shape: It is all so perfect for the Spring transition.
 
I decided I wanted something like that - but with a bit more attitude.
So I got THIS:
 
 
A combination of:
 
 
 
& Technician's own Gold polish
 
I LOVE to mix up my nails art every now and then to add a little pizazz to proceedings! I'm so glad to have them cut down too - I couldn't even do my shirt buttons up this morning!
 
What other nail trends are there at the moment? Has anyone tried the nail wraps before? I may experiment with them in the future.

How Would You Wear It?

Hi guys! I asked around to see if the 'Street-Chic' trend is working its way into the lives of every day girls or if I'm just trapped in an online fashion spin. Turns out most of the ladies I asked love the look, which you are most likely to find on celeb-BFFs Rita Ora and Cara Delevigne, but said they either didn't know how to put it all together or the look it just too over-styled for grocery shopping and the school run. Fair enough.

However one little lady styled the joggers I used as an example piece to absolute perfection. Simple, affordable and down-right comfrotable there is no excuse for us not to rock this trend!
Libby Burgess, 16, from Hatfield is a Junior at Bradley James Hairdressing Salon but her dream career is to be a Fashion Designer. Styling the Parisian 'Genius' Joggers from New Look's new collection she said:

"I chose this bomber jacket, plain t-shirt and blazers to pair with the stylish jogging bottoms as I feel that the look is on trend and would be something you could see Rita Ora wearing. I think that the bomber jacket classes up the jogging bottoms and creates a different tone over the whole outfit."

 Libby added: "If I were to wear this outfit, I think that I'd feel bang on trend and accepted in the style I was wearing. This outfit could be worn from going out to lunch with some girlfriends or shopping, or even to an event. By simply changing the shoes to something classier you can change the whole outfit, allowing it to be adapted and worn anywhere."
 
I love the colour pop trainers on this look, and the Font Crop ASOS Top is also amazing for the Monochrome trend at the moment!

OOTD - Outside My Comfort Zone!

Bit of a late post! I've had such a hectic day...starting with a traumatising driving lesson! They should just make reversing round a bend illegal! That way we wouldn't have to go through the stress of learning how to do it!

Anyway I tried an outfit out today which was well outside of my comfort zone! I really like the street-chic oversized jumper and collar combo which I've seen at the Fashion Weeks. I teamed a plain grey jumper from Store Twenty One with a TK Maxx blue check shirt, H&M stripy skirt, tights from Next and New Look patent brogues. Adding extra trends I wore a statement, pastel-flower necklace which was from Primark and a monochrome bangle. I've never worn so many trends at once but felt warm, comfy and cool simultaneously so it worked for me! I'll definitely be investing in more oversized jumpers very soon...

I love the 'Let Your Jumper Hollar With A Smart Collar' blog post by Miss Olivia - Zara - it sort of sums up my love for the look. Click to read: http://livvyy.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/let-you-jumper-hollar-with-smart-collar.html
