Brad and Angelina lipstick carvings…

I am a huge Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie fan so it comes as no surprise that a recent poll honored Brangelina with the couple with the perfect, kissable pouts.

So the way Feel Unique makes recognition to the stunning couple is by creating two lipstick figurines of them both in luscious pink. Sculptor Willard Wigan has spent over 50 hours carving the pair, which measures 9mm tall and 4mm wide…how cool!

Looking over the picture I was pretty amazed at his attention to detail.

This guy has some patience and is one dedicated fund raiser. All his hard work is to be auctioned off for charity for UK Breast Cancer Campaign.

Why cosmetic surgery can benefit you…

I am a big believer In cosmetic surgery and think that if you cant fix something that is making you depressed and un-happy and a surgeon can why not go under the knife???

I know there are risks with surgery but If you hate a certain part of your body it is worth taking that risk as it will make you feel like a new person, physically and emotionally.

Just think how confident you will feel if what you hate looking at every single day can be corrected in a couple of hours.

I have a couple of friends who have had surgery and not one of them complained and would even consider having more surgery. Since surgery they have turned more out-going and more confident…If not a little to confident!!!

Here is a list of most cosmetic procedures:

The only problem that comes with surgery is that it is not cheap. I would NEVER recommend having surgery on the cheap or going to a country that offers cheap cosmetic surgery. You are at high risk of something going wrong and infections. You pay for what you get and you really do have to go to a top plastic surgeon for surgery who has a proven track record of success  if you want fantastic results. Some cosmetic surgeries offer loans on surgery but it is worth hunting around for the best loans as you can get ripped off and end up paying back double the amount. At least with a loan it is a set amount every month and you will not feel guilty making the repayments as you can smile every day looking at what you have had changed.

So if you want a happier new you, book in at a cosmetic surgery, majority of surgeons offer free consultations anyway so you have nothing to lose.

The little things in life that make you feel good…

I don’t believe that no one has those days where you feel like everything is against you and on those days I usually believe that I have been cursed as EVERYTHING seems to go wrong.

On these days instead of moping around all evening you need to stop feeling sorry for yourself, pull yourself together and do something that will make you feel happy and perk you up!

Firstly stop being so negative about yourself! Once in a while pay yourself a compliment, I don’t mean blow yourself kisses (though you can do that if it works!) just find something that you are happy with. Is your hair looking soft and glossy today? Is your face blemish free? There must be at least one thing that you are happy with and it should boost your mood and put that much needed smile back on your face. Try and pay yourself a compliment every day and it is guaranteed to make you like yourself more and that will show in your mood.

Have a night out with the girls! Get yourself dolled up to the max, that means dig out your hair products and make-up and make yourself look fabulous, put on your best outfit but go for colour and to finish the look put on a sequin jacket. A sequin jacket is a classic and adds sex appeal to any outfit and makes you stand out in a crowd, get your camera charged and go out and party! Make sure you take plenty of pics and look back on the pictures and admire how fab you look and how much fun you had.

Exercise! I hate exercise sooooooo much but if I push myself into doing some I feel brilliant as soon as my work out is over and it instantly makes me feel a happier more positive person. You don’t have to go out running 5k a day just try and do some form of exercise, even a relaxing yoga class does the trick!

Change your ways! Think about why you are unhappy and write down what the problem is and how you can improve it. There is a way round most things you just need to put your head to it and find a solution. When you have figured out what your problem is work on ways to improve and this will help you attain a better self-image.

Do what you want to do! Me time is my favourite time. My me time that makes me smile is running a bath, getting into some snug clothes and watching a chic flick. There is loads of things that will make you happy so do it, as long as your doing what YOU want to do that is all that matters!

Be ruthless! Have a fresh start to the day and dig out some bin bags and get rid of all the stuff that you don’t want anymore. It makes you feel more positive and fresh! Then when you have had a blitz why not go out and treat yourself…retail therapy, perfect!

If you try and stick to these points when your having a ‘bad’ day you will hopefully wake up with a more positive look on life and appreciate yourself more.

Tattooed eyebrows – Yes or No???

I have a thing about eyebrows and at times I get some annoyed with mine I get the urge to shave them off, seriously that’s how much I can get annoyed with them!

So after doing a bit of research I am now considering having my eyebrows tattooed but I don’t know. Oooo I am having a dilemma…help!

I think that if you have over plucked and there is a chance that the hairs are never going to grow back this is a great idea but I have not done that I just cant be fussed with the plucking anymore and the pictures I have seen of people with the tattooed eyebrows do actually look really good.

It costs around £350.00 but I think it is money well spent if you don’t have to waste time plucking your eyebrows and of cause the extra 15 minutes in bed in the morning!

Let me know please if you have had your eyebrows tattooed and what you thought of the overall result?

Dangers of sunbeds

It is common knowledge that sunbeds are not good for you not only does it age your skin you are at risk of severe sunburn as proven by 14 year old Kirsty McRae.

I think it is disgusting that a girl of such a young age was aloud to go on a sunbed never mind being left unsupervised for 19 minutes leading into her going home and collapsing and suffering first degree burns to 70% of her body.

It shows how much appearance means to young girls now as Kirsty went on the sunbed as she was “feeling pale”. I don’t think teenagers are fully aware of the damage they are causing to there skin and the poor effects it will have on there skin in the long run.

If you are a teenager you need to stay clear of sunbeds and if you really want to look more bronzed try the safer option of fake tan. Plenty of salons now offer fake tan spray tans or buy a bottle and apply your own tan. Fake tan gives you an instant bronzed goddess look and you are not at risk of ageing skin, skin cancer or causing severe burns to your skin.

Hopefully the below picture is an eye-opener as to what effects sunbeds have to your skin!

Oscar 2009 - beauty and the beast

I have been pretty obsessed for the past day looking over pictures from the Oscars 2009 and wow did all the females polish up well. I have never seen celeb’s looking so flawless and groomed to perfection.

I think it is really hard to come to a decision of who stole the show but in my eyes after much debating over Natalie Portman, Vanessa Hugdens and Angelina Jolie I am going for Vanessa Hugdens.

I think Vanessa looks absolutely stunning and lights up the red carpet! Her hair and make-up looks perfect and don’t get me started on the Marchesa dress and Jimmy Choo shoes. She looks just as hot as the arm candy she had on her arm, Mr Zac Efron, lucky girl!

Vanessa is a natural beauty and doesn’t need to wear much makeup to look gorgeous but i think her evening look gives her an elegant glow and i love her smoky eye look.

What do you think of Vanessa’s look and do you think she was the beauty queen of the Oscars?

Who didn’t do it for me at the Oscars has to be Jessica Biel. Jessica is a stunning girl but her look was all very bland even her Prada dress looks dull.

For such a huge awards do you would think that she would of made more of an effort and what made her leave the house with her purposely-arranged messy hair i don’t know!

The look does her no favour and definitely doesn’t make her stand out with the other A listers she was rubbing shoulders with.

Next time try harder Jess!!!

Pete Doherty…hot or not???

I was pretty shocked to see that Pete Doherty is up for the sexiest male at the NME Awards. I know that the NME Awards is all about rock ‘n’ roll but why o who is an ugly, scrubber, scumbag in the list…as you have now probably gathered I find this guy utterly vile.

He is not sexy, he is everything but sexy, how can you find a guy sexy who has not washed or brushed his teeth in years and has heroin spots and scabs all over his body. Just thinking about how he smells makes my stomach churn!

This grease ball would definitely not make the most sexiest man in my eyes in a million years!!!

Do you think that Pete has a chance? Or does he make you feel as sick as he does me?

50 cent set to release a men’s cosmetic line

Hip hop mogul, 50 cent is seriously hot and don’t get me started on that six pack of his but surely it is going to ruin his street cred bringing out a men’s cosmetic line?

It is pretty impressive going from a coke dealer to a hugely successful rapper to a ummm beauty king!

He is now set to rule the male population by bringing a cosmetics line out. The male grooming products will include a selection of moisturisers, night cream and health supplements. I like the way the line has health supplements just to make it that bit more manly. Maybe he should have added to his line some concealer to cover up bullet holes in your skin!

Good luck Fiddy!!!

NEVER match your listick with your outfit

I recently wrote a blog raving about Lady GaGa and her wacky style and her much loved minnie mouse hair bow but I think she has gone one step to far with her ‘unique’ look!

I really don’t like the the matching your lips with your outfit look. What I am more intregued by is where the hell did she buy that colour lipstick from, surely you cant buy that colour in the shops anymore?!?

And Miss GaGa whats going on…where has the real hair bow gone???

Do you think that Lady GaGa is loosing her style and going a little bonkers or do you see it is refreshing new face on the pop scene injecting some much needed colour?

Few tips for an instant pick-me-up…

If you are suffering from the January Blues and have caught the lurgy that everyone I speak to seems to have at the moment it can make you feel pretty down.

Follow these tips and I can guarantee it will give you an instant boost and make you feel much better in yourself:

A great way to start the year is to get in routine of drinking plenty of water, yes I know it’s bland but it is the secret to beauty. You should drink around 8 glasses a day and it will flush out the toxins in your body which cause tension, aches, pains and headaches. It also helps eczema, psoriasis, dry skin, wrinkles and spots. If you are trying to shift some weight after going over board on the mince pies and Christmas turkey water is great for weight loss as it reduces your appetite.

I have already had a moan about this one but cut out the cigs for good! If you want to make your skin more dazzerling,  have white teeth and smell fresh this year it id not going to happen if you don’t stump out the cigarettes for good.

Sleep is so important! Not everyone realises how important it is that you have around 8 hours sleep a night. If you have 8 hours it reduces your stress levels, makes you more alert, may help with weight loss, reduces risk of depression and helps your body repair itself. So make sure you start getting your beauty sleep and wake up feeling refreshed!

Stop being lazy and spend a couple of minutes in your bathroom and wipe off all your make-up. If you sleep with your make-up you are likely to wake up with dry, spotty skin as you are not giving your skin and chance to breath. Even if you don’t want to use loads of products there are tons of creams and lotions on there that will take only 2 minutes to remove all your make up…no excuses!

Say good bye to chocolate and chips and try and replace with fruit and veg. Instead of piling your plate high with junk when you get home replace with plenty of veg and when you get the urge to eat chocolate when you’re out and about replace that craving with fruit. Getting your five-a-day and giving up on eating junk is not only good for your health but it will help clear up your cellulite, give you a clearer complexion and you will see the weight drop off that will then make you more confident and happy with yourself.

This one might sound silly but if I have rushed out of the house and notice that I have chipped my nail varnish I feel grubby all day and paranoid that people will be looking at my hands, especially if I am wearing a dark colour varnish. Having groomed nails will make you feel a million dollars so try and spend some time giving your nails a bit of TLC. Whether you go for a full manicure or just pick out your favourite colour and paint them yourself. It will instantly make you feel well groomed and smart.

New Year – New You! Go through your make-up, beauty products and clothes and have a realistic blitz. If you are still holding on to items that you have not worn or used in a long time its time to get rid and bring in the new. Your makeup should not be left open longer than a year as it begins to deteriorate so open a bin bag and treat yourself to a few new items. When having your clear out give you make-up brushes and sponges a good clean, I usually shampoo and condition mine and with a thin comb brush through the hairs on my make up brushes.

Last but definitely not least…SMILE! Smiling does not cost one penny and not only will you feel good for smiling it is likely to rub off on people around you. You will look confident and beautiful and people will find you more approachable. If you spend all day frowning be prepared for frown lines and wrinkles!
