There is nothing more trashlicious than 80′s Hair Metal Glam, obviously. Strung out, sweaty bodies…

WE’RE A CULTURE, not a costume!
Yeah I mean seriously??? Black cotton leggings with a motorcycle jacket and those jeffrey campbell knockoffs??? So not glam you poser true hair metal grrrrl should always have a pair of cowboy boots and leather pants jeez
+ There’s a serious lack of bandanas. Bret Michaels is turning in the grave of his musical career right now.
Don’t you know that you automatically turn in to a true 80’s glamster by just wearing a leopard print bandana?
100% true you can wear absolutely nothing, no pants or shirt or fancy $500 shoes, or not even have real hair, but still be trve cvlt glam with an obnoxiously patterned bandana. It’s like how slayer fans can find each other by the shirts they’re wearing and how loudly they can scream SLAYERRRRRRRRRRR in a crowded public area
That Motley Crue t-shirt without Mick on it disturbs me. So. Much.
Laffo I didn’t even notice that what a cryin shame
Totally what I live to wear <3

So cool :)
52WODN Britain's Next Top Model Logo Inspired!
So today I really, really wanted to try out some proper Nail Art type stuff. Lines! Lines seemed like a great idea at the time! (Oh how wrong could I be!) Lines are soooo difficult to do!
Nonetheless, determined. I struggled on!
To be perfectly honest, though, I am quite pleased by how they turned out :D
The logo for a reminder ;)
I used Barry M's Nail Paint (NP66) as the White Base colour and my Primark Nail Art Pens in the purpley colour and black :) I also used a couple of gems but they have smudged a bit :/
My Left Hand :)
My Left Thumb :)
My Right Hand :)
My right thumb is ATROCIOUS! but oh well haha, I feel like every week when I do my nails, they're getting better and better, each week I feel a bit more adventurous than the last :D
Don't forget to check back tomorrow for my Look of the day post! (coming every Tues, Thurs & Sat!)

52 WODN ORANGE FIESTA! & Mermaid inspired makeup! 15.7.13
So after my week in Barcelona (post coming really soon!) I was so inspired by the beach and sunshine to make my nails as Bright as possible! I also wanted to use an Illamasqua polish so ended up using Gamma :), for the glitter/polka dot nails that is Barry M's Sequin Nail Effect in White on top of a layer of Gamma. The effect is quite cool actually :D
My Left Hand :)
My Right Hand :)
Also, as I am headed to Naomi's house to go swimming I decided I wanted my makeup to look a tad bit mermaidey-inspired today! What do you think? :D Sea Green & Pearly Pink were my main colours used :)
My Full Face :)
My Eyes, doesn't the green Zoomlash mascara look amazing??
All Products used :)
Keep an eye out for my Sneak peak photos everyday till my VOGUE fashion copies post is released! On my facebook page, please go and like if you haven't already! (just search Januarybeautyful) xxx
Boxes, Boxes & more Boxes, Omg WHY!?
So, I Love Benefit, MAC, Illamasqua and other high end brands, but I also love Sleek, Fashionista, MUA & other drugstore brands. What do all of these brands have in common?? They ALL have adorable packaging/boxes they come in! And! I can't/don't have the heart to get rid of these gorgeous boxes!!!
All of my Benefit ones (except duplicates) are on my shelf in my office as the shelf was bare and they're too pretty to store away! Here's what it looks like (you have to use your imagination to piece all the bits together :P)...
Right Third
Middle Third
Left Third
Then I have a big shelving unit my Dad made me that I store loads of boxes on (the very very top also has books and stuff on it but going down all the way to the bottom has extremely large boxes stacked up from the floor). Here's a couple of the top shelves:
As you can see, I have a strange filing system of books, shoe boxes, mini boxes, photograph albums, Decorated random sized boxes (all decorated by moi, of course!), a leopard print mini drawer system, a soap and glory tin and an office drawer set. I like this system, although in the picture it looks really messy and disorganised, in real life it's perfect and really does not look so messy :/ haha!
Anyhoo, some of these boxes in my shelving system, are only filled with other mini product boxes. Like, I said, I just don't have the heart to throw away such gorgeous packaging!!
My Secret Boxes filled with product packaging...shhh!
A Cute Benefit Box I was given for my Birthday is filled with Benefit Only Packaging! :P
A Mini Box I got in a set from Wilkinsons (for like £3) is filled with mostly MAC boxes
A bit more inside the box...
My Massive Lancome Box (received as part of perfume set for Birthday) is filled with all sorts and the Perfume boxes
inside it are filled with stuff again!
This DKNY pink perfume box, closest, houses all of my MAC blush/beauty powder boxes!
Of course, you must be wondering why I am going a bit hush hush and shh! This is because, Ed doesn't know I keep any other boxes than the ones on my shelf (again, some of those larger ones on the shelf are also filled with smaller boxes too!) And I think if he saw he'd work out how much I have and probably never speak to me again! :P (Makeup is really NOT Ed's forte you see >.<)
Now, some of you must be thinking-WHY ON EARTH DOES SHE KEEP ALL THAT! Here's Why:
1) You never know when a label might rub off or disappear from a product and/or you may forget the name and that's when this comes in handy, you can just look it up again! So it's kind of like a record keeping system...kinda...
2) If I no longer like the product/use it/just want to sell it on, you get much more money for it (and it helps with proving authenticity) when you sell it on sites like eBay (though with eBay regulations/conditions you can only sell unused cosmetics) and Gumtree etc.
3) It's just SOOOO PRETTTY!!!
4) If I move house and get a display cabinet, what else am I going to put in there? (aside from Horsey rosettes-which, I can't lie-they're aren't many... >.<) Don't get me wrong though-if they're all screwed up n' chewed up, looking worse for wear, I'll bin 'em.
So there we go! A little secret into my life :P Do you keep all your old cosmetic boxes? Tweet me to let me know! @JanBeautyful I'd love to know I am not the only one!!
I used every grey & black shadow in this palette to make this look (the palette is the top one in the last photo). Considering this was only £2.50 It's definitely worth investing in! Keep your eyes peeled for my blogpost on it & the palette below it: The Month of January at http://januarybeautyful.blogspot.co.uk/
52 Weeks Of Delicious Nails! 5th June '13
Now, I know this isn't a Monday post nor is it from Monday but my Silver Nails from last week were just for Kelly's Wedding and I knew they were not going to last till this Saturday. So, I made these Tuesday Night! They should last till Sunday Night ready for me to create some new designs :')
My Left Hand :')
I still haven't fully got a hold of my left hand's shakiness, hence the right hands' quite poor :/
My Right Hand....
I used Barry M's Gelly Shine in 9 "Pomegranate" as the base red colour and Paperchases' Nail Art Pen in White to make the dots, I then just placed them in a weird L shape on my nails :') I really liked the result-though! Don't forget to like my Facebook page "Januarybeautyful" where you can get direct links to all my blog posts and updates! xxx
52 Weeks of Delicious Nails (a day late :S) 27.5.13
I am so bummed out that the Sun just hasn't made much of an appearance as of recent :S It's supposed to be really nice weather in Britain now, I mean COME ON! I guess it's still early days though, I mean July & August are proper Summer, yeah? ....hmmm.... D:
Well, this week is half term and I wanted some nails that aren't really summery in case the sun doesn't appear and that also go with my dress for Riri's this coming Friday. And with that criteria this is what I came up with!
My Left Hand
Now, my Right hand I could not get a good picture of, so I decided it was better left out. To describe it to you though, it looks exactly the same only the butterfly on the thumb is white with grey :)
The Purple shade is my latest addition from Sally Hansen's complete Salon manicure range: 470 Purple Pulse & the Butterfly is from a wheel full of them from poundland, I mentioned it before in one of my January posts: http://tinyurl.com/p47vuwv :) Exciting stuff XD
Look out for my post on my Outfit & Makeup designs for Riri's Birthday should be coming around weds/thurs this week :D x
Mini Haul & Review-Superdrug/Poundland-Rimmel/Milani/Fashionista
So, yesterday I went into Superdrug as I haven't bought any makeup in such a long time, I was determined to make good use of the 3for2 offer. I ended up buying new nail polish though!-And I really DO NOT need anymore! haha, oh well :P
My lil' Haul
So, Lets start with the Rimmel Exaggerate Eye Primer, I bought this because on like every website it has 1 review and that review is always bad. But, they still sell it? So, for £5 I thought why not.
I then was thoroughly disappointed because the MUA counter had been stripped bare, so, I skipped along to the Fashionista one, I picked up the StarShine Highlight (as I already have SunShine and I LOVE IT!) and then got 2 lipsticks, one in a pale, creamy, orange colour "I'm an Individual" (the Maxi Moisture one) & one in a nude colour "Buff" (the Double Take one)
I quickly checked the Maybelline counter for the Orange Tattoo I still regret not picking up from N.Y. and it wasn't there-so I picked up this Pomegranate one instead. I am dyyiinng to try it out! :D
And, finally, I bought 3 NYC polishes-as I LOVE THESE, they're so cheap & last well with a good pigmentation and this new Barry M Sequin Effect polish as I can never resist a new Barry M'r ;)
Fashionista Lippies Buff (Left) and I'm An Individual (Right)
After Superdrug, I popped into Poundland, as they sometimes have nice makeup in there too and to my surprise (I mean, really, really, surprised-I nearly choked!) They had MILANI PILED UP!
The Milani Stuff I picked up from Poundland.
So, I picked up one of everything apart from the Mascara which didn't look very good and there were hundreds of them there, so if I change my mind I can always go back and get one :). I got 2 of these Glimmer Stripes which instantly make me think of Bobbi Brown's Shimmer Bricks :') Only, they were a POUND! I also picked up this eyeshadow quad which reminded me of Nars' Duo Eyeshadow in Paramaribo :D
Here's me wearing B. Beautiful Full Coverage 16hr wear Foundation (Available at Superdrug), the Milani Quad featured above, Fashionista StarShine Highlighter on the tops of my cheekbones, the Milani Glimmer Stripes in Pink Glimmer (far left in pic above) & the Fashionista Lippie in I'm an Individual.
The Fashionista Lipstick is definitely not as pigmented as I'd have liked but, saying that, I do have very dark lips for my skin colour. So, on more pale lipped beauties, it would look lovely :) It's also worth noting it is nice and moisturising like the name "Maxi Moisture" suggests :D
I do really like the glimmer stripe by Milani, I think it's beautiful :') We all know I love Glow and this is full of glow appeal :P
I really don't feel these pictures do StarShine any justice though, in real life it looks quite bronzed and sexy-the picture below shows it a tad better.
I think this Eyeshadow Quad is not dissimilar to Paramaribo but is not as richly pigmented. It's more Gold than Green too (as shown below), making it a good alternative for those who find Paramaribo too green to suit their complexion. However, it is only a Pound and Therefore I think EVERYONE should go scout it out ;) I do, do wish it was a tad more green though! :L-Sorry!
Nars' Paramaribo Top
Milani Quad Bottom
Also, I have to say about the Rimmel Eye Primer: I am wearing it now, under this Milani Quad, while I am writing this and It's really not as bad as people are making out. I actually think that at only £5 It's really worth a tad bit more. It works well, I haven't had any creasing yet (I am not wearing a cream eyeshadow, paint pot or tattoo underneath the eyeshadow quad either) and I have very oily skin and lids. Do I feel it makes eye shadows more rich in colour and pigmentation? No, but the only one I feel that actually does (and I mean in the WORLD) is Urban Decay's Primer Potion. Overall, for a Fiver, I'd say BUY IT! You won't be disappointed!!
My Galaxies/StarTrek Inspired Eye Look, it's actually quite wearable considering all the different colours used! I used Sleek's Snapshots Palette to create this. Colours used: Hummingbird (along lower lashline and on tear duct areas), Tequila Sunrise (on inner lid half not in crease), Purple Haze (outer lid half and into crease) and Magenta Madness (swept all around the other colours to round off and complete the look).
And It's a Pelvic Thrust ;) JanuaryBeautyful @RHPS @MayflowerSouthampton
Well, me and Evie had a TRULY FANTASTIC TIME!
Here are a few Highlights.... (I do not own the rights to the images nor do I claim too, I do not intend any offence etc.)
Frank N Furter Getting Pampered
Sweet Transvestite
As you can see, it's quite true to the show :') With Dani Harmer (Tracey Beaker) playing Janet! ahaaa! I know!! I couldn't believe it either -she's so tiny! XD
Anyhoo, yes, getting back to my outfit etc...
My Eye
No Window, Flash On
Facing Window, No Flash
Window Behind, Flash On
My Eye-wowzas!
My Full Magenta (Official Rocky Horror) Costume
All Products Used-In The End :)
As you can see, I did use most of the products I said I would, only with a few additions of the Jack Wills' Pencil Liner, Fearne Cotton Liner, Benefit Magic Ink Liquid Liner and E.L.F. Eyebrow Kit. If you want to see the Outfit Design Things etc, you can do so here: http://tinyurl.com/afaxkeq
Overall, I have to say, I wish it lasted longer! It was so funny and everyone just had a blast dancing the Time Warp twice! So good, would I go again? Definitely. Audience participation Galore, great Guitar-ing music and the costumes!
I think Evie had a good time too ^.^
52 Weeks of Delicious Nails, 20.5.13
For my Birthday my friend Naomi E bought me these totes gorge Floral Nail Wraps from Paperchase (they don't sell these ones anymore but here are the same make: http://www.paperchase.co.uk/invt/00503248/) They're really easy to use! Which made me very happy as I am not very steady handed, I could've done with some smaller scissors to help me (as you'll see below :S) But they applied very easily and I think look really great! PLUS! There's no drying time!!
My Terrible Right Hand
My Better Left Hand :')
Now I've broken my fear of nail wraps I am certainly gonna go nail wrap crazy I think! haha, They're just perfect :') I hope they last well.....we shall see D:
