A small haul ♡



(instagram addict! no makeup onnnn - i dont have an iphone but use my mum's ipad hihi - my username is beautyphoebs)

hi lovelies! i've got round to uploading and editing these few pics from thursday, as i mentionned in yesterday's post, i did pick up a few new things over the weekend like stuff for CATS (which we'll be performing in late june) and this acrylic desk holder thing for my makeup of course heheh and also some makeup removing bits and bobs but will show them another time i guess. they aren't too important and i count on doing a post on my makeup organization and collection or something. btw, i have been really tempted to make videos now, i've also received comments and requests asking me to do more and update certain tags since i've unblocked my videos and they've been rediscovered i guess! ahah so maybe by next week when i'll practically be on summer holidays (for legit THREE MONTHS :D ) my mum might be nice enough to lend me her camera to record but otherwise i sure count on blogging! anyway, without further a do, here's what i picked up on thursday: 


''Tribal Attitude'' shower gel from Yves Rocher + their new LE Coconut and Pineapple perfume (i only picked up their 20ml one which was just 5€ so it can be my summer perfume which is great for travelling!)


love the smell.. its basically a pina colada.. :3 


i got quite a big sample tube of this shower cream from Dove literally 2 years ago and never tried it, so about a month or two ago after seeing it lying around i decided to use it and absolutely adore it! it does wonders to my dry skin and foams into a really creamy lather, plus it smells delish!


bought some new hair dye! i decided to get something new, i stuck with the L'Oreal Excell10 shade in ''Marron Ambre 641'' from december (when i first dyed my hair) to well, thursday hahah, but have always wanted to be a redhead and wanted a more red-ish or purple tone.. i decided to go for full on auburn and love the result of this! it's a true plum in the sunlight and really suits me so im happy with this :) 


picked up this oversized crop top from H&M for only 4.95€


and these fitted black high waisted shorts, i love these! (they have a bunch of summery colours available) 9.95€ 


here's the contents of the hair dye box :)


                           

waiting to wash it all off! it took sooo long for the water to be clear and all the baths i've had since have become purple with my hair.. :p it looks really pretty though! hahahah 




 INFO ON MY DESIGNS: 


I have ordered 20 different t-shirts (white, black and grey ones) which I can cut into tank tops etc (lower neck lines, big open sleeve holes to show off a bandeau top underneath..) or to be kept as a fitted men's t-shirt and also 10 tote bags which will all be on their way to me in a couple of weeks, maximum! If you are interested me designing you one, please comment or post on my facebook page; HERE! :) There are many sorts of designs I can come up with so feel free to ask ♥


               
                                  enjoy my wonderful followers! 

                                                    lots of love, 

                                                                             P x

INFO :)





hi lovelies, sorry i haven't blogged in a while! i honestly keep on forgetting, the thing is im finally free from all this work and have only one exam left, the real important one; art. where as i've told you before, i think, i'll be painting for 15hrs over 3 days.. im happy that i've finally got my final piece planned cos i was finding it really hard to come up with something good! considering my theme is the aftermath of crime, i didn't just want to do something really basic and expected of a crime ya know? anyway, that'll be starting on wednesday and i have tomorrow (monday) off as its a bank holiday so i've got some time to relax. time needed, because i've gone and sprained or broken one of my toes.. yesterday morning when i was about to get into the shower i stubbed my toe really hard against these thick wooden chairs we have in our annexe and it's been hurting ever since. it's pretty swollen and is bruised but it doesnt hurt if i push it back but hurts like a mofo if i push on it.. aaaargh! hahah so yeah, i might go for an x-ray later this afternoon because the pain just wont stop and although these sorts of injuries apparently heal in a week or two, i wanna be careful cos we'll be performing CATS at the end of june! 


though yesterday i did go to a big sport store, Decathlon and managed to find a leotard for CATS, their biggest size was 14 yrs and i'm fucking lucky that that fits.. kinda shocking really.. hahah i also got this microfibre bright pink towel thing their which'll be useful to take to england this summer, especially in cornwall cos its special materials make it dry really fast so woop, cos once i'm in london for about 5 days, i'll be travelling there alone!:p 
 i also got a transparent acrylic small desk organizer thing which is for meh makeup of course (that was like 4€ at the supermarket, Carrefour) and some gum and shtuffies to occupy myself during the art exam cos we wont be allowed to talk to anyone and won't have phones i dont think but we're allowed to play music and unfortunately my ipod touch seems to have died last week.. a bottle of apple juice exploded in my bag and got all inside the ipod so i left it in a big bowl of rice for legit a week cos it didn't do anything after a couple of days and it's not switching on even when i try to charge it.. any suggestions? :/ i'm quite bloody annoyed cos now i have no device to play music on the go apart from say my phone but the quality aint too good and it sometimes acts up.. hahah 
i also bought a bunch of bits and bobs on thursday which i'll show you guys in a post tomorrow night i guess, i'll make some time for that but if not i'll get round to it on tuesday night. :) 


i will be ordering some shirts to design either today or tomorrow (white, black and grey ones) which will be basic t-shirt cuts but i count on cutting them into tank tops or whatnot (like cutting the neck detail off and making the sides have plunging holes hahah, so you're showing off some skin but wear a bandeau top instead of a bra etc) so if anyone is interested in me designing them a shirt - i can send them internationally if shipping and the shirt and design is payed for of course - id be happy to! i'm also gonna be ordering some tote bags cos i thought that lots of people would love to have say a galaxy filled triangle on a tote bag for summer, or say their name written on it with a design of a bird, triangles, cubes, hearts etc.. you name it and i'll see what i can do. :) 
i've got quite a few orders coming through but will be able to really concentrate myself on my designs as this friday coming up, the 1st of june, i'll be free from exams and will only be having to go to school from the 11th to the 25th and only in the mornings, from 9 till midday for info and talks about universities. :) 


enjoy, and please give me your feedback lovelies, 


                  lots of love,

summer's on its way


hiyaaa! what have you guys been up to? i've had one of the longest, most stressful days i've had in a while. today was the big day; may 23rd, the history exam. 3hrs of writing, 4 essays to produce and i just finished in the last minute. i was so happy as soon as i read the questions. god, this year was a good paper, lucky us! the two first questions i really knew a lot about, geez it was such a relief, and then the third one i chose was a pretty precise one on an american president concerning his policy during a few quite precise dates but i managed to do all that i could, and did my best for that bloody source question - dont like those! hahah
so im glad thats over but then i was in quarantine for 2hrs, having to sit attended in the headmaster's office because i was gonna have to wait to do the spanish exam after which was at the same time as my history. so after spanish i went off for like a 3hr rehearsal for CATS. i am thus bloody fucking exhausted now. shattered. hahah

since i got home im just in a total relaxed mode and have been watching gossip girl non stop and eating some yummy yet healthy food :3 tomorrow i wont be going to school as i sure need a rest but also dont have any lessons whatsoever anymore. i've only got two exams left; AS french on friday morning which will be fine and then the important 15h art exam over 3 days beginning wednesday. can't believe that in less than 9 days i'll be FREE! hallelujah!

i can't wait to start producing loads of shirts as soon as im done with these last exams! if anyone's interested in getting their hands on one please feel free to comment or post something on my fb page: beautyphoebs. :)

wow, ive got so used to all this revision that i was about to say ''tomorrow i'm gonna do a few hours of work'', but no, scratch that, i'll get some art done and will work on some shirts. i will also be ordering a load of new shirts online and also some tote bags cos i'm gonna be designing some of those too. i'll be in town for a bit with my madre cos i need to get a black leotard for our costumes in CATS as they need to have fur etc sewn into them. the show is gonna be so fun, i literally LOVE the songs and listen to them every bloody day.. hahah

here's a couple of pics with some of the loveliest of people at my school, they're good friends of mine, these ladies are lahvlyyy! 


Chex (Francesca) and i 



                                                                  Yasmine and i 




                          enjoy lovelies! lots of love,

a few new bits and bobs

hi lovelies! it's been nice to have a few days off and it's not over yet, tomorrow i'll only be starting at 1 or 2pm and thats only for an easy 1h and a quarter gcse french exam, oh and same thing on tuesday except then it'll only be 45mins, wooohoo! well not really, cos i'm dreading wednesday and the 3hr history exam where you've got to write 4 bloody essays. i almost said fml there (something i never say ahah) but eh, i've done lots of revision and will just have to do my best cos it is just so fookin' hard. as i've mentioned a couple of times i think, i will defo stop history next year and am excited to replace it with AS and AL spanish instead as i only began taking spanish in march at my school so just took went along with the gcse program. i've actually been speakings spanish for years and am sort of almost fluent i guess hahah which is really useful as i love languages. 

ANYWAY phoebe, i've been eating really healthily apart from literally a few balsamic vinegar crisps (so hard to resist..) and thats honestly about it. i've got into muesli after my mum's endless suggestions of trying it with some yoghurt, so i decided to try some with a low fat plain yoghurt, this yummy cheapo muesli from carrefour/monoprix which just had little coconut and raisin bits in it and cut up some strawbs. yummmy.. i've been having it everyday since! 
we went to the supermarket on friday where i picked up some healthy snacks, two bottles of Franck Provost shampoo and conditonner, a couple of mags and my mum bought me an Avene Eau Thermale spray (50ml), a new tube of Homeoplasmine as she had given me a well loved one of hers which i'm getting through fast and a pack of a handbag necessity of mine; paracetamol. i'm full on headache and migraine prone but also, still, get growing pains in my legs, back pain (yay for scoliosis..) etc so i tend to need these a lot! hahah

i also went to see Dark Shadows on friday night with Matthew! i love Tim Burton, Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp and what's a Burton movie without Johnny? hahah :) i really loved it and so did my boyfriend, we're big film/theatre lovers and we couldn't understand why the movie had so many negative reviews stating the plot was shitty etc.. all around very much enjoyed :D plus it was in english so you can't go wrong!



here's a bowl of my yummy muesli breakkie :3


raisin + banana chip snacks from monoprix, perfect for school and traveling about :)


i thought Provost was french or from a northern european country but after seeing his products are really popular in Australia and are available all over the world from what i've been able to see, i honestly have no idea, i'll check on the bottle but tbh can't be bothered right now, i'm lying down sort of watching a movie that's playing on tv :p 
i got the shampoo and conditioner for damaged and breakable hair, i don't really have that problem so much anymore but still have more dry hair than anything else and didn't want to go for a really thick a bit too nourishing type which could weigh down my hair and make it oily!


Grazia + Cosmopolitan 


Avene Eau Thermale + Homeoplasmine + Doliprane (paracetamol) 


enjoy guys and thanks for reading :)

emerald green, la mer and food

i thought i'd share with you guys a few pics from yesterday, funnily enough my mum and i ended up with unplanned, very similar outfits! i wore a black and white striped long sleeved shirt which i got a couple of years ago, my emerald green-ish maxi skirt from MANGO and my plain black victoria sneakers. in a different order, my mum had on a green-ey shirt, a black maxi skirt and black and white striped espadrilles. hahah :) 




for my makeup yesterday i had quite some time seeing i got to wake up at 8.30 and only go into school at 10.30 for my singing lesson and then the big english exam at 1pm, i used a Too Faced palette that i got a year and a half ago in their holiday Pixie Perfect set (this is such a good kit!), the e/s in this palette are stunning, i used all of them to create a quite natural looking eye and then i put on quite a few coats of covergirl lashblast fusion. mascara is legit my must have product. :)


here is la mama <3 


in the car on the way home after a long, stressful exam hahah


a good thing about the south of france is the sea... GEEZ WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT COLOUR? it's like a lighter version of China Glaze's For Audrey hahah



i have quite literally been eating strawberries every single day for the past fortnight. see how round this one? so cute! teehee



just had these quesadillas with la mama, we're veggies so inside was melted cheese, real tomatoes and salsa. :) 

what are you guys up to over the next few days? today i did some history revision, i'm covering a different topic everyday right now, i also did some art and started on my friend Kiki's galaxy shirt which is actually almost finished! i've got into doing them faster which is useful ahah but it's still a long process. 

enjoy, 

lots of love,

Current beauty favourites

finally got through half of my exams, only 6 left! i sat for about 2 and a half hours in total in the exam room as we did our english exam.. it went quite well i'm just not so pleased with the unseen prose question for which i chose the poem and struggled a bit with remembering any sound devices apart from alliteration, sibilants and onomatopoeias.. but eh, that question only counted for 5/100 so i hope i did well on all the other bits!
these are some pics from monday, i said i'd have another post showing some ''favourites'' but was a bit too tired yesterday and after the exam today, i swam when i got home, worked on some art and watched the virgin suicides which i thought was really good. 

so here are my current ''loves'':




i added a few pics in case some items weren't too visible :) i've had all of these products for at least a month so my opinion on them is ''fo sho'' hahah:
-Bioderma Crealine H20 Solution Micellaire (i spoke about it in my last blog post)
-Essence 4in1 Cleansing Cream (i spoke about it in my last blog post)
-Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre (i spoke about it in my last blog post))
-Garnier Tinted Under eye roll-on; I have shade 01 and 02 and absolutely adoooore them!
-Smashbox Photofinish Oil-Free Primer; this stuff is amazing, I've been using it daily for about a fortnight!
-Yves Rocher Shiny Pastel Nail Polish Hardening and Beautifying Coat
-Bath and Body Works Twilight Woods Shimmer Body Mist; i want the perfume version of this, absolutely adore the smell!
-Kiko Precision Eyebrow Pencil; great product!
-Tarte Amazonian Clay waterproof eyeliner Smolder Eyes in ''Fig''; such a beautiful shade
-Clarins Natural Lip Perfector; i've been using it daily since i got it!
-Covergirl Lashblast Fusion; nuff said. heheh
-Benefit Highbeam; must have!
-MAC Cremeblend blush ''Ladyblush''; such a flattering colour and i just love cream blushes.. :3 


  i won't have any ''school'' till monday afternoon when i have a french exam so its nice to have about 4 and a half days to take it easy but now, after getting quite a lot done today, i am exhausted and it's only 11.22pm.. hahah


               enjoy my lovelies!


                                                           lots of love, 

                                                                             P x

Products part of my Skincare Routine

i've been thinking of doing some ''current favourites'' on my blog for a couple of weeks but once i'm about to start writing a post, i seem to always forget.. hahah so i'll have two posts up on current favourites over the next couple of days; skincare seperately and then my ''current loves''. :)

today is a day that will go down in history in my mind ahah, i sat my second maths exam and have thus, finally completely finished with maths for life. well, that should be the case.. :p the exam went well i think and am pleased it's all over! tomorrow i get to wake up an hour later as i've got a spanish exam starting at 10am. hallelujah... anyway, onto the skincare! i'm lucky enough to have quite good skin, i don't tend to get spots and if i do it'll only be a couple or something, one thing i don't like so much is the redness i have, cos i'm an ''english rose'' hahah so have overall pink toned skin. i honestly don't mind it so much as i did say a couple of years ago and am beginning to embrace it, i'm a proud brit! hahahah aside from my rather lucky facial skin and all, i have had echzema and these annoying pink-ey-red bump type things on my arms called keratosis pilaris which i've had since i was a teeny tot and was told repeatedly by doctors when i was about 10 that unless i'd apply some special cream 3 times a day - everyday - i'd have them for life.. i've started using homeoplasmine which i haven't featured in these pics; it's a french pharmacy product but easily reachable online i should think, it's dirt cheap and there are also loads of reviews on it, i've been recommended it by a bunch of friends who had this skin ''condition'' like me and for whom it completely disappeared. i'm honestly so excited, unless you have it, it's hard to imagine how embarassing it can be to have these red bumps on your arms, it can also be quite painful cos they imply dry skin. another sort of skin issue of mine. anway; here we go:



1) Bioderma Crealine H20 Cleansing Solution (500ml) this is just the bomb, look it up if you don't know it. I use it everyday, it's defo one of my holy grail products; ever. Nuff said. hahah 2) Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit. 3) Essence my skin 4in1 Cleansing cream. 4) Perfecting Toning Lotion and 5) Clarifying toner I use these two  quite often when I want to switch things about a bit :). 6) Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion (this stuff is great!) 7) Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre (75ml - this is just fabulous) 8) Nivea Soft Intensive Moisturising Cream (200ml - a family cult-fave, i tend to prefer this to the original nivea) 9) Dove deodorants (i see so many youtubers mention their fave deodorants hahah and thought i'd show you my faves, these are especially good for sensitive skin, which i rather clearly have as you can probably tell from the products i use :p).


 

so here's a round up showing my top favourite products, the ones that i really have been using daily. after hearing SO much about the bioderma solution, -from makeup artists, on blogs, on youtube and in the fashion world - i thought, fuck it, i'm in bloody old france (i only hate on the south of france hahah) i definitely should pick up a bottle and try this out. i have definitely not regretted it. the first time i tried it one night i didnt think i'd like it much but as soon as i gave in a second time, i just loved it. it's just excellent! i will definitely repurchase this when i run out and will be using the bottles to store things in like flowers, i can see myself with a row of bioderma bottles each with a rose inside or something like that. :3 

i picked up the essencee cleansing cream when i was in italy, less than a month ago, i honestly haven't used everyday or whatnot but really enjoy it when i do and i will definitely get into using it say everyday or every other day. it also smells delish and costs under 3€!

and another very hyped up product, but rightly so, the embryolisse lait creme concentre. it's aboout 16€ which honestly isn't like crazy expensive or anything, plus it's 75ml and comes in a handy tube. i have been using this everyday for a couple of weeks or so and absolutely adore it. it's not too heavy yet not too light. perfect, eh? i definitely recommend it. 


enjoy,

P x

US mother's day and other bits and bobs

hi lovelies! i know i haven't blogged in a few days but then again, i'm crowded in with exams. i've already done 3 out of 12 and have maths tomorrow, a part of spanish the next day and the one and only english exam on wednesday.. legit scary stuff! i've tried to relax quite a bit this weekend after the first stressful week so i managed to spend time with Matthew (as usual) watching a few films - including Never let me go, Role Models, It's kind of a funny story (loved all of those!) and we began watching The reader - but we also went on quite a long walk yesterday around the sea front and the port after getting some yummy frozen yoghurt. 0% fat of course, as i'm trying to eat healthily although i find it hard to resist a pack of yummy crisps from monoprix for 80 cents that me and Matt love! hihi today is mother's day in America and my mum's friend; and mine for that matter, as i've mentionned many times, Jane invited us and a bunch of people over for lunch. she's a cook and gosh the food she makes is quite bloody divine. it reminds of my mum's and i love how they share recipies etc, they're so cute! so we came along with Matt and had some bloody delish food which you'll be able to see a few pics of! heheh 
i also received the Barbie necklace i had ordered off ebay about 10 days ago from the UK and alsooo the asymmetrical skirt i ordered from another seller in Hong Kong about 2 weeks ago for only £4.99! i'm a bargain hunter. you'll be able to see below a couple of pics of what it looks like. :) 



the necklace was about £2.75 or something and is really cute. it's quite small but i guess i don't want a huuuge barbie necklace, i'd like a dripping chanel logo one which is definitely on my mental wishlist hahah




 here is some of the yummy foooood Jane made, there was also a chocolate brownie cake and a big apricot tart. :) i've been eating a shit ton of fruit lately hahah, trying to go for natural sugars instead of all these sweets, and so many crisps etc! i'm doing well at the mo. 


                                                                gosh i love flowers!



one of the people who came along had these 2 little chihuahuas, now normally i really wouldnt like these sorts of dogs, what with their attitude and strange faces but these ones are lovely! really affectionate for chihuahuas and were bloody cuuuute. :)


pudding hihi


                                                                        iggy baby <3 




FOTD: 
-Smashbox Photo Finish primer
-Garnier under eye roll on
-MAC ''Ladyblush'' cremeblend blush
-Benefit Highbeam
-MAC MSF Natural
-NARS Isolde e/s duo
-MAC Vanilla e/s
-Covergirl Lashblast Fusion 
-Clarins Instant Lip Perfector 



OODT:
so here's the asymmetrical skirt, the colour is a Bordeaux red wine tone which is defo one of my favourite colours to wear at the moment; for clothes or makeup! i've worn the skirt so that the shorter end is in the front but definitely count on wearing it with it on the side. looooove these skirts and maxi skirts/dresses at the mo. they're so flattering! on the pics i paired it with a floral primark shirt with a mesh lining which makes a sweetheart neckline, a brown vintage elasticated belt, a vintage Yaeger cardigan (one of my faves! i'm lucky enough to have a lot of clothes from Yaeger which were my grandma's, the actress, and seriously looove them all, great brand!) and some red leather pumps from Mango. once we were really leaving, i suddenly decided to change to another floral shirt, from H&M with smaller roses which were more red and pink, a vintage red cardigan and the same pumps. :) 


i hope you enjoy this post! feel free to ask if you have any queries or whatnot. :) what did you guys get up to this weekend? 


                          lots of love,

                                                                       P x

INFO: MY DIY GALAXY/NEBULA SHIRTS

hola chiquitos! 


here is some info about my galaxy shirts, i'll be covering design possibilities and the average price range. please feel free - as i have stated maybe a few too many times in this post - to ask me about any questions you may have about the shirts if i haven't mentionned what you're looking for below. i can make them to be delivered internationally, which i mention further down in the post but but really if there are any queries about a shirt you'd like me to design, or you don't want a galaxy shirt but just one with a simple design or shape that you'd like me to make, i can probably do it. just comment/ask on my facebook page/inbox me on facebook if you have me as a friend. enjoy :)





 this is the first one i made, which is mine. i took a navy blue shirt with which i made a purpley+blue and slight mintey green galaxy with a large black anti cross in the middle. if anyone wants one of these now, knowing how much paint it requirs, i will have to charge 18 euros for it if one gives me the shirt. all the materials needed are expensive, especially with all over galaxy printed shirts! 





 here's the one i designed for Manon, the lovely girl i know who's in london. i can of course send things around the world as long as you pay me for the shirt i have to buy, the design and the shipping (for instance her's adds up to £23, which isn't much (you guys should check out the prices of these sorts of prints online.. i do them all by hand and will be raising the prices by a bit soon, these are my first ones!) she wanted a light shirt with a central design of a galaxy inside a triangle. the thing with lighter shirts is it takes even more paint to cover the area as you can't use bleach with them (it doesn't show up) so if you do want a galaxy design a bit everywhere on a light i will have to charge about 25 euros. 




here's the shirt i designed for my good friend Milena, she's a huge 30 seconds to mars fan and requested a galaxy shirt with an echelon triangle so i did that in white. in exchange Milena very generously gave me a MAC gift card which she wasn't going to use which made up for the all the paint necessary to cover such a big space (if you're reading this Milena, don't feel bad in any way, i'm just explaining how i will need to charge more than 10€ for all this work etc (<3!)) i think that the next full on galaxy shirt i am asked to make, with a dark t-shirt, i will have to charge 18€ as i said further above. :) 


basically, i'm writing this post to help anyone who's curious about my shirts, about the possible designs and prices. i'm going to go into further detail now; the thing with these shirts is they are all unique designs, you're not going to see anyone else wearing the same shirt as you, definitely not exactly at least hahah, i make them all by hand and each shirt takes about 2-3hrs to do, and i have to keep on going back to them when they've dried, touching up a line, adding stars etc... it's a whole process! so it not only takes a long time to customize the shirt, but once it's all finished, it then needs to be ironed for about 45mins, (literally) and then hand washed to completely set the colour. these aren't done with acrylic or anything, thank god!, i buy special fabric paints - and not the cheap ones - to make sure my ''clients'' will be able to keep these shirts for years hahah so i invest a lot of time and effort into these pieces. in terms of designs, if there's anything you want in particular, feel free to let me know and i shall see what i can do, popular ones, that i have been asked for a lot already are triangles, crosses, birds (i have a couples of really nice stencils, including one of hummingbird) but if you want any text or a name or numbers on your shirt, i can definitely do that. just feel free to ask basically! :p i will start designing men's ones if any boys are interested but can start right away if i am given a shirt to do it on, i will be buying a load online soon. 

prices all depend on the colour of the shirt you give me to design (or that you ask me to buy, if you live abroad etc) and if you want an all over design - which will be more expensive - or a central design, say like Manon's shirt, with the triangle filled with galaxy print. just feel free to ask me any questions, you can comment or write a post on my facebook fan page: Beautyphoebs, or if you personally know me and have me as a facebook friend, feel free to inbox as i said in my status earlier. hahah :)
