Style Crush Sunday | Camila Alves

Every Sunday Im going to tell you who Im loving at the moment, whether it's style/make up or hair.

Today its Camila Alves, Brazilian Model and wife of Matthew McConaughey, she really brings it, whether it's red carpet or casual, I think she's stunning. As well as being a mum of three (I know, with her body) she is also a designer.

I also have serious hair envy but lets not get to into that, I love that her casual style it's so laid back compared to her Red Carpet wardrobe, to me she really made an impact on the red carpets recently at movie premiere's and award shows.

She wears clothes so well,well I suppose she is a model, and always looks so unbelievably gorgeous.

I just love the whole vibe she gives off with her style,she has the same style I do and Im obsessed with her lately, I can't wait to see what she wears to the the Oscars, she will more than likely be featured in my 'I Have Red Carpet Fever - Part 2' as she was heavily in the first one.

What do you think of her style? Let me know.

Thanks for reading xx

Dallas Buyers Club Review

Both Posters for the Movie

I know this is a beauty blog and I don't write about things like this, but I recently went to see a movie that came out called Dallas Buyers Club. Now this wouldn't be the type of movie I would go to see, truthfully I only went to see it because Jared Leto was in it, but Im so glad I did. This movie is one of the best I've seen. I've already read reviews from people saying the same.


Its a true story set in 1985 Texas were AZT trials are taking place which was the drug used as a form of treatment for AIDS.

Matthew as Ron Woodroof

It stars Matthew McConaughey as Ron Woodroof, a guy who struggles to come to terms with the fact he has AIDS.

Jared as Rayon

Jared Leto as Rayon, a transgender who also has AIDS. The two form an unlikely friendship to try and beat the disease.

Jennifer as Eve

Jennifer Garner stars as Eve who is originally helping Ron and Rayon in the hospital.


After being told he has thirty days to live Ron sets out to try and find better drugs that will keep him alive, so he goes to Mexico and finds a drug that they're using down there but its not FDA approved, so he sets up the Dallas Buyers Club, a club that you pay membership to and you get all the drugs you need for free, that way its not illegal. Rayon helps him out in this club, there have there fair share of ups and downs with the FDA confiscating the drugs twice so they go elsewhere.
Not going to lie, I did cry at the end of this movie.

Ron and Rayon

Once you get over the initial shock of seeing the weight loss in both Jared and Matthew and focus on whats happening you'll see how inspirational this movie is, it makes you want to know more and more about the characters and their lives.


This movie is heartwarming yet sad, its a perfect balance of having light hearted humour but still having a serious edge to it, if you see one movie this year let it be this, this is acting at its finest.
Its no wonder why they're winning so many awards for there parts.

Please let me know what you thought about it if you saw it. xx

Primark S/S 14 -My Favourites

While flicking through LOOK Magazine, I seen they had some of Primark/Penny's S/S 2014 Collection.I knew I needed some new things for my wardrobe, So I went online and found some of my favourites, these items will defiantly be in my wardrobe ASAP.

First off, I found this Green Blouse with sheer flower detailing which I really like, I absolutely love this colour and thought it would look great for Spring.

To compliment that, I thought this White Mini Satchel would go with anything in the Spring and then into Summer. 

How cute is this Yellow Shift Dress, I can totally see this with this Statement Necklace when the weather gets a little nicer.

As I missed out on Zara's skort when it was out I will be purchasing this replica , that is if this one doesn't go either.

If you know me, you know im a bit obsessed with Monochrome, I basically live in it and I adore this Monochrome Grid Blouse , not really for spring only, for me this is an all year rounder.

I've been really liking Perspex clutches and was about to buy one online when I found this one, This Perspex Handbag is perfect for summer nights out to bring a pop of colour to an outfit, although i would like to point out you will need a little pouch inside this for money, cards etc as it is see through.

Again this is something for all year round , This Denim Sleeveless Shirt would look great open with shorts or tucked into a skater skirt, and paired with this Statement Necklace .

If you've seen some of their new collection tell me what was your favourite and if you have some suggestions on what I would like please tell me :)

I Have Red Carpet Fever - Part 1

Apart from Fashion Week, Awards Season is my favourite time of year, I am always in awe of what and who people are wearing.This is just some of my favourites from The Golden Globes, SAG's and The Grammys.


Starting off with The Golden Globes as they were first. The Golden Globes to me are the kinda showcase as they are the first 'big' awards off the year.

Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves wins Best Dressed Couple for sure, she is outstandingly beautiful and her dress was beautiful but yet she didn't outshine Matthew which I like, I also really like Matthew's Bottle Green Velvet Jacket I think he killed it and together they look phenomenal.

Olivia Wilde for me was Best dressed overall, despite being pregnant which I actually think she embraced and made this dress look even better on her. Her hair and make up was perfect and the minute she arrived on the red carpet I was at a loss for words.

 Lupita Nyong'o rocked it for her big first red carpet to come out in this Ralph Lauren dress was amazing, This to me is one of those dresses that everyone will remember, she was a show stopper.

Cate Blanchett looked almost regal at this event, I love the cut of this dress and the laser cut detail with her pale skin looked divine, the back of this dress defiantly won me over.

Sarah Hyland looked so cute in this coral Pink dress and I really like her Hair like that, Im a big fan of Heidi Braids since Katy Perry did them, and I really think it complemented this look.

Doing it for the Boys, Shannon and Jared Leto looked amazing and Im glad Jared toned it down for the event and didn't show up in some crazy get up.I really like Jared's hair like this aswell, and he is slaying Awards Season at the moment, and being a fan of the band and his Movies I'm really happy for him.

I was really underwhelmed with the SAG's comparison with The Globes.

Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves, Again Best Dressed Couple, I swear you could put them both in a bin liner and they would work it, Its almost frustrating. Im so looking forward to see what she turns up to the Oscars in.

Jared Leto, This time with his Mom Constance, first off I see where he gets his looks from, shes stunning and they look great again in love with his hair.

I didn't even recognize Claire Danes when I seen her, I really like her hair this colour and I really like the effect on this dress and the 'less is more' with accessories.

The Grammys again wasn't what I was expecting, Im hoping everyone holding back for the Oscars *fingers crossed*

The minute the camera panned to Taylor Swift I forgot how to breath, is it just me or does she look like an Oscar statue, She looks phenomenal, her hair and make up complemented the dress brilliantly I really don't have enough nice things to say about this outfit, I only hope she brings out another show stopper for the Oscars next month.

Thirty Seconds to Mars were also there, Im in love with Jared's Balmain Jacket and Shannon's Saint Laurent Jacket but I felt Tomo could have done a little more.

I have loved every dress Kelly Osbourne has worn so far for Awards Season but this has got to be my favourite, I also liked the nod to her Dad with his cross on her back.

This Valentino dress looks like it was made for Katy Perry for this event specifically, I don't think she could have done any better, the only problem I have with this look is I hate her hair like this.

So who wore it best for you, Leave me a comment below. I'll be back with my favourites from The Oscars, BAFTA'S, IFTA'S and Brits.

Face Mapping

Being a girl, something that I find really important is trying to keep my skin clear because even though your make up will cover it up (sometimes) you will constantly be worried about it.
And I know for me the first thing I think is where the spot is and what that means.


About 4 years ago my Mum introduced me to face mapping and a couple of weeks ago my friend mentioned she had had a persistent spot and I said 'where is it' and she looked at me weird and said 'why does that matter' and I realised none of my friends knew about face mapping.


Well anyway she said it was a cluster on her cheekbone and i said that's your lungs so I asked did she have a cough or anything and that's what it was so she wanted to know about face mapping so I was more than happy to teach her about it.


So just in case nobody else has heard about it,and the fact that it helps me so much, I thought I would write about it.



Forehead
This is usually a sign of a poor digestive system or your liver, Easily rectified, just drink plenty of water , get a good night sleep and eat foods that will support you digestive system eg Yogurt, Meat and Fish,Whole Grains, Banana's and Ginger.
Avoid High fat and Fried Foods, Anything Spicy, Alcohol and Berries.


Cheeks
This is usually a sign that there are problems with your respiratory system. Commonly more prone to people who smoke. Usually spending more time outside will improve this.
As well it could be due to sickness.


Nose
This is linked to heart health and could be down to blood pressure.


Jawline
This is most common due to hormonal imbalances and stress, More intake of green veg and increased intake of water will help.


Neck
This is your body's way of telling you, you have an incoming illness, again water helps and take a few vitamins to strengthen your system.



I hope this helps you in some way because I find this so helpful, Thanks for reading.xx 

Happy New Year

I dunno about you but 2013 wasn't a very good year for me so I intend to make 2014 amazing to make up for that. I want to rid my life of negative people and stop taking myself so seriously.


I want to set out some Goals for 2014 for my self to achieve before the end of 2014.



* One of the things is I want to start a YouTube channel, on make-up and beauty and Things.Sorta like  Zoella or Sprinkle of Glitter.

* I want to get out of bed at 10am, which will be a struggle if you know me.

* This may sound stupid to some people but this is a big deal for me, I want to go into town without make up on and be ok with it.

* I want to be more healthy this year and start juicing and exercising more often cause god know I could do with it.

* I want to do something for me this year that might sound strange but im the person who goes around making sure everyone else is alright , so i want to do something that benefits me, Be as bit selfish.

* As I said above I take myself far to seriously, so I want to do something that is really out of my comfort zone, as more of a test to see could I actually do.



Also I found this really cool idea that im going to try and I hope you will too, Get a jar or container (Im using a big Mason jar), and write down all the good things that's happened to you in 2014 and open it in 2015. I will then write a blog post on some of them, as like a recap of the year. :)


I hope everyone has a good night tonight and starts 2014 of with a bang.Make of it what you will and as it says in the photo above you have a blank canvas, don't leave it boring and mundane and routine like I did this year do something that you look back on your life and remember why 2014 was amazing.

                                               Happy New Year :)

Homemade Lips Scrubs

Im a big advocate of D.I.Y beauty products, why spend a lot of money on something you can do yourself.

Key Essentials are Oil, White/Brown Sugar and A Container of your choice.
Use either Brown or White Sugar its your choice, White has a finer consistency than Brown Sugar.

Its up to you to choose whatever one you would rather use, based on the ingredients you have.

Cinnamon Sugar

This one is the easiest to do.

Ingredients

• White/Brown Sugar
• Ground Cinnamon

Use your desired amount of sugar (this depends on the size of your container). Add your Cinnamon, Mash it around until the cinnamon is evenly distributed through the sugar and put into your Container. Store in the Fridge in between uses.

Rosemary and Peppermint

Ingredients

• White/Brown Sugar
• Fresh Rosemary
• Peppermint Extract

The peppermint will also cool down your lips and freshen your breath.

Chop the Rosemary into tiny bits before you add it to the bowl and use a folding motion on this one as the sugar will dissolve if your not careful.Add a few drops of Peppermint Extract and put into your Container.

Sweet Honey

Ingredients

• 1/2 tsp. Olive Oil
• 2 tbsp. Sugar 
• 1 tsp. Honey

Combine the ingredients, mixing until everything is thoroughly combined, and then put into your Container.



Massage onto lips, Use a Wet Paper towel or Flannel to remove and use a lip balm after to keep lips soft.

Let me know if any of these worked for you or you have any other recipes :)
