Carnations, Roses and Chrysanthemum’s. Oh My!

I have spoken about Little Gracie on here before, many times in fact. The designer, Ebony, is a friend of mine and she ever so nicely asked me do the makeup for her label, an opportunity that I am ever so grateful for!

This Thursday we shot her Spring/Summer Look book in front of a huge shrine of flowers, painstakingly created by Ebony and her little team of helpers (Hannah and Cam from All Of The Above Creative and us.) The overall look was very Seventies, with pastel shades on the eyes to match the pastel hues in garments.

As per usual I can’t show you the clothing until the line is released, but I can give you a little peek into the day’s activities. I would like to send out a big fat thankyou to my college friend for doing our model Phillipa’s hair, it turned out amazing!

Copious Amounts of Wine.

Dinner with old friends is such fun. We spent last night at an Italian restaurant in Mount Lawley and drank copious amounts of wine. I did a purple smoky eye for the occasion and wore my hair in its usual top knot. Until I get a hair appointment, that's how it’s staying! I need to try and study today, I feel guilty whenever i catch glimpse of my text book. Stupid text book.

Pretty in Pink.

The picture above is a little teaser for you all... this is the look we are going for in the Spring/Summer range for Little Gracie. How pretty! Oh and for those of you who have been wondering, my Gorgeous brush roll has been a life saver so far! I have used it on a few people and they have commented on how soft the bristles are, which is always a good thing, and the precision when applying product is wonderful. I definitely recommend these brushes!

Beauty School Drop Out.

Nope I have left my course, I just love Grease. I started yesterday and gosh I was nervous! I felt like I was starting boarding school all over again. Weird uniforms, new people, a new suburb… it was all very daunting!

For those who are new to this blog, I recently quit my full time job as a Personal Assistant and enrolled in a Makeup Diploma course. Yesterday I had a glimpse into how detailed the course will be and im a little scared but also very excited. The Diploma runs for 5 months and I will be creating all sorts of looks as well as learning Special Effects and Camouflage (blood and gore). 

Amongst getting ready for school and trying to find work, I have been going to the beach (my beach bag cost me 7.50!), catching up with friends and family and cleaning the house until S gets home. Im turning into a house wife!
