Take a walk on the wild side...

Hiiii! How are you all? Just a quick update on the last post where I said I had an interview... I got the job :D It's somewhere super nice - a woodland holiday destination, and its a lovely place to take photos and I just love it there :)

back to the post, I am loving animal prints at the moment.. Well actually I always love animal prints. I often find myself wearing animal prints and not even noticing, like at college a use a Dalmatian print bag, shoes with leopard print on, tops with leopards or tigers on, my new edition was the lion leggings and now....I got these lovely shoes from SkyScraperHeels

These shoes have leopard print faux suede material. They have the zips on the inside, which I much prefer them there than on the back of the shoe.
 I love studs and spikes and the back of the shoe has lots of gold ones! 

You can dress these shoes up, I think they would look gorj with a black dress, or you can dress them down with a nice pair of skinny jeans! The platform blends into the rest of the shoe and I find them comfy and super easy to walk in so if your not so keen on heels then try these! 

The big cats are making a comeback in fashion, or did they ever actually go out?
I don't think they ever will go out of fashion because they are so versatile, they can look sweet, edgy, sophisticated or glamorous - it's how you wear it that makes the difference!

Now, you can wear it without looking like you are crazy, I'm not going to name and shame any celebrities right now but believe me. There are plenty.

A good way without being OTT is to go for accessories, sunglasses, handbags, shoes to spice up an outfit. Rosie Huntington Whitley is rocking that bag, Kelly Rowland has a basic dress with leopard wedges to give her look an edge and I love Fergie's outfit too!

If you like these shoes you can get them here for £24.99 now £17.99!! *in sizes 3-8*

What do you think of these shoes? Would you wear them? Have you got a pair like this?

Your gonna' hear me Roaaaaaar!

Heyy! Hope your all well! I don't usually put a post up on Wednesday's as I'm usually at college but I didn't go today as I had a job interview. Oh my god. I get sooo nervous for interviews it's unbelievable! On the way there I felt sick one minute and my head was hurting the next and then when I was in the interview I felt so lightheaded! I actually don't no why though, because I catwalk in front of audiences, and interviews are just me and them? Oh well :s

Ive had lots of exciting parcels I will be posting about so keep an eye out! One of them was this...
Can you guess what it is? :D 
The clue is in the title...
Well, it's from Mr.GUGU & Miss GO.
I came across this clothing company on the internet and was very intrigued as they sell many unique products that I hadn't saw before.
'So… Mr. Gugu makes you a dream candidate for the future we dream about. He makes you the cutest child of the age to come. And Miss. Go rules over him just as every beautiful woman rules over her brilliant husband. They both will show you what is worth wearing not only today, and not only tonight, but tomorrow and the age after tomorrow.'
The times have changed, we've often rewound the clock since our grandparents got a shock when they listened to the rock. In olden days a glimpse of inscription on a t-shirt was looked on as something shocking; but now, it seems, anything goes. Designers no now that only using the simplest ideas can make you look stupidly the same. 'The world has gone mad today, and good is bad today, and black is white today, and day is night today.' Personally I think the designs are so crazy, they're cool.

The material on the product is quite thin but very strong and flexible. 


Did you guess it right? They are Lion Leggings! :D
Now I hate disco pants, when I see girls in them I think they look a little horsey -.- 
And I'd saw printed leggings on the internet or on shop shelves and just thought, 'they are well weird'. Like I saw a blue pair with silver chains printed all over them, but then I saw them on my friend and I thought they were actually really nice! :) Then I thought I would try out some printed leggings, I am a fan of animal prints etc so I picked the lion pair. When I took them out of the bag, again I was a little stunned because they are so in your face. 

I went and tried them on and I really really like them! Behold, the full length sparrow legs...
I paired the leggings with some black wedge trainers with a faux fur trim. The leggings have so much going on, I think they look best with minimal detail else where, like black shoes and a plain top. I also have a lion bracelet from hottt.com that goes nicely with these! You can see it here.
I also got some of these Mr GUGU & Miss GO badges :D

If you like these leggings, you can get them here for only 29Euros

What do you think of these leggings? Have you got a pair like these? Would you wear them?


P.S.

Please could you do me a favor? :) Please watch this YouTube video and 'like' and comment on it. It's for a competition, please help me out and I will be more than happy to return the favour! :D

bobble hat, bobble bobble bobble hat

Heyallll! Hope your all okay :D I was back at college last week after the Christmas holidays, Guess what?! It was like the first time I haven't been told off on the Tuesday >.< ... Instead another girl got told off and she ended up walking out and going home, If only I lived near college I could do that when the teacher won't leave me alone ;) Oh and I said to one of my friends that a guy in the cafeteria has nice hair, that's all I said! Then she said when we was going up to class that she thinks he's in the class a couple of doors down. Only he was stood outside our class looking out the window on his phone. Then the rest of the girls decided to be stupid when we was in class, they ran out and asked him what his name was. Then staring at him through the glass on the door... He ended up sticking his head through into the class and asked if he was in trouble?! And then all the girls started being even more stupid. Like what the hell, I simply said he had nice hair and they all start being goons. Thanks -.- That was the first embarrassing thing that happened when I was back at college, I seem to be prone to being clumsy, doing stupid things and being embarrassed -.-

Well I will get onto the post now instead of babbling on..

All of their brands have been handpicked by their skilful curators allowing you, the customer, to interact with some of Britain’s most talented and dedicated designers. Our quality checks ensure that you will always receive nothing but the best in British design and innovation.

I received this Laguna purple bobble hat from BritFash...
The hat was a little different to how I imagined it to be... On the website the hat looks quite big and it wasn't actually that big - which is a good thing! I noticed the quality of the hat straight away. 
I mean if I compare this to a standard bobble hat I had like the one below

This bobble hat looks nice, but the wool is pretty hard and not as flexible. The hat is very thin so its not the best protection from the harsh winters! I had resulted in not wearing knitted hats because I find them itchy (this was was particularly itchy).

Whereas the Laguna purple bobble hat is super soft, made from laguna yarn with cable detailing. I added a picture to the collage above of a closeup of the hat - 
The hat has been finished off with the Stone Union Logo at the front.

The spotlights in my room are a little bright but there is the hat on. I love it! But I decided to give this to M as shes has chemotherapy and now radiotherapy so obviously she has lost her hair and this is a great gift for her as it's so soft and everything she would really appreciate it (M say's thank you to BritFash too) :) If I was going to wear a bobble hat, I would wear this one! 
BritFash stock these in a range of colours like: Black, white, blue, berry, grey and oatmeal.

You can get this hat here for £49.99 now £24.99
If you are in Britain then the worst of winter has yet to come, hurry up and get an amazing quality hat that will actually keep you warm!

What do you think of the hat? Do you like it?

Yellow Polka Dot nail tutorial with optional bows

Heyy! :D
I'm back at college tomorrow *boooo* I actually don't mind college I just don't like that days teacher... I constantly get told off. I mean I know I'm a bit immature, I like to have a laugh but I always do my work, the other teachers let us talk while we work - but nooo this one wants us to be silent. All day. -.- Me? Silent? ahaaa I'm only quiet when I'm around people I don't no :s

Because it's new year, sooo many people have made new years resolutions. Most people probably won't even keep them. Apparently this time of year, gyms see the most people signing up, but people drop out after a little while. People say they will go on a diet, not eat chocolate, not drink wine etc. Why make a big sacrifice like that when you won't keep it? I sure as hell wouldn't be able to cut out chocolate completely! O.o Just be healthier and have less, I no it can be easier said than done, but it's easier than having none! Why don't we make resolutions that make us a better person? Like helping more people, to try and make at least one person smile a day, to give without a reason, to give a cup of tea to a homeless person?

Any way I have been promising to film nail art tutorials for a while, instead just showing you the pictures. I told you I've got a little tripod for Christmas and so... I've recorded a nail art tutorial. I have started off with something super simple, as I wasn't sure on how to record the angles and how to film the tutorial in general. I was also nervous with it being my first tutorial so my voice sounds weird :S I will make sure to improve in videos to come! :) I won't be doing as many voice over the videos, I will be speaking on the camera to you, but I am starting off simple :)

This is the basics of this tutorial, I hadn't cleaned up around the edges at this point as I hadn't finished the tutorial. You could wear yours like this if you don't want to do the bows - that's optional. Just make sure to give it a glossy top coat to stop the acrylic paints from coming off and the nail varnish from chipping.

This is the finished polka dot nail art look. I used crystals for the centre of the bows, however if you don't have those then you could use silver nail polish and/or a glitter polish. Like I said, the bows are optional so you could just do the polka dots.

The main nail varnish I used was a 'one coat' By Nella. You can get this from MoYouNails here for £7.99 now £5.49.

Want to see how to create this nail art look? 
I have changed my YouTube name to:
' and that is where I will be uploading my nail art tutorials, tips, tricks etc. Please subscribe to my channel :)

The link to this video is here you can find out where I got all the tools and polishes from there too :) Please like the video and subscribe to my channel, there are lots of faboo tings to come! :D

What do you think of this nail art look? Would you wear this? Do you like the tutorial?

My Christmas Makeup and ffh's new badge!


I hope you all had an amazing Christmas! What was your favourite presents? :D
Its been pretty busy over here, we've been going to the hospital with M for her radio therapy sessions which is obviously not an enjoyable thing, but its making her better so that's good :)

I have gotten lots over products over the holiday which I will be uploading to here and lots of exciting things coming up too! I have now got a mini tripod so I can film nail art tutorials which I will be uploading to my YouTube channel - I have changed the channels name from my name to a nail art one so its easier to find :) please subscribe to it :) I will also be doing special effects makeup tutorials and looks and posting pictures on here and tutorials over there! :D

I received this present parcel from Treasure House Of Makeup who supply Mehron UK makeup and special effects makeup too. If you've read my previous posts I always review the products right down to the packaging, I think if that is presented nicely then the company has spent a little extra time to make you feel special :) Some companies use little organza bags for jewellery, little gift boxes, some put their product in a fancy metallic parcel bag and I've ad some which have just come in a plain parcel bag and the products are loose inside - Not good as sometimes the product breaks and to be honest its just boring. 
Treasure House Of Makeup sent me this beaut of a parcel in a bigger box with all what looks like polystyrene wotsits to keep the parcel inside nice and safe. The parcel its self is a box with a lovely covering and a little note from them too :D Mehron, as you might already know - is a professional stage makeup company. This means their products are SERIOUS. I mean people would wear this stuff when they're doing a Broadway show or an America's Next Top Model Photo shoot, so by celebrities!

I received four pots of precious gem powders. These were in Black Onyx, Amethyst, Topaz and Opal. They are powders made with soft silky powder which can have many uses. It can be applied from head to toe for any occasion. You can add a shimmer to your skin for parties, dinners of look faboo at professional performances etc. There are 13 colours in total which you can choose from and are based on birthstone colours. The fist thing I noticed with these powders is that they all sparkle like mad, the opal has a metallic look which almost changes from white to baby pink depending on how you look at it. You only need to use a little bit of these as they are highly pigmented. I have read some reviews saying they are way to pigmented, but I think the main point is that a little goes a long way. Also the drop cloth technique should be used when applying as eye shadow as the sparkles get everywhere aha :P
Mac do a similar product to this which costs £17 each, I'm not brand mad so I don't particularly care about getting the the designer brands, I'll use whats good and works for me. The Mac range is known to be good quality however the price is obviously expensive. They do have more colours to choose from if you want to build your collection, but I would much rather get Mehron's because the quality is soo good, it's used by professionals (so is MAC) but I find that Mehron works well with my skin.
These cost £6.40 each and you can get them here

I have done a colour swatch above going from left - right: Black onyx, Amethyst, Opal, Topaz.
As you can see, the colour is very intense in the centre where I've applied more, and lighter around the edges where I've used less.

I used the Topaz powder on the inner half of my eye and then used the Amethyst on the outer half of my eye. As you can see, I should have used the drop cloth technique as the sparkles just go everywhere :)  
I blended the colours in and then I used an eye liner and a brush from Beauties Factory to do the eye liner. Finishing off the look with some Rimmel London Wild Mega Volume Mascara. You can get the brush set here for only £9.99 and the eye liner here for £5.99!... Can anyone tell me what the brush is on the top second from the right?

I usually have a makeup artist do my makeup for photoshoots and catwalks so I am developing my skills of doing my own makeup.

As you may of seen already FashionFixhunter's new Badge was thanks to Treasure House Of Makeup. The badge is at the top left of the blog, if you haven't saw - 
I am wearing the eye makeup which I just shown you. I'm also wearing the Velvet Finish Primer Serum - I tend to get really dry skin from exma on my nose so I moisturize and then use a primer, although sometimes that's not even good enough. 
I've tried lots of different brands, of moisturizers and primers and most are just no use to me. This primer is super thick compared to others I've tried and it gives a super smooth base for the foundation. I only wear a little of tinted serum on my nose and chin because they are slightly pinker than the rest of my face, my skin is alright apart from that :) You can get that here for £18.23
I applied a little bit of the Glosstone 'Red Kiss' which I was a little weary about as I never really wear red lipstick or gloss, I'm not that brave aha :P
Actually, I quite liked it - it was smooth and wasn't sticky what so ever yet it looked glossy and healthy. You can get this here for £6.02.

There will be more makeup posts coming up featuring Mehron products, including tutorials, moodboards/pinboards, trends and get the celeb look, and also Special Effects Tutorials!! I will be using these products incorporated with special effects to create some awesome looks you can follow and do yourself :) This post was basically just to introduce you to the Mehron brand and Treasure House Of Makeup and show you the blogs new badge :D


What do you think of the Mehron products? Have you ever tried them? Are you excited to see some special effects? What do you think of the blogs new badge? :)
