Browsing for a new look

Hey!

So, I mentioned in my previous post that I'd bought an eyebrow pencil and was gearing up to invest some time (not too mention pain and money in waxing!) in getting my eyebrows back to human-like proportions and looking less like some creepy Star Trek character! Whilst I do not relish the thought of growing my brows back in and being seen in public quite possibly sporting a monobrow, I do want nice face-shaping brows so I'm gonna suck it up and be brave, hopefully it'll be worth it! Also, it means I have created a "beauty" category on the blog, which is pretty cool. You guys have any questions for Sea and I, about our make-up or anything else blog-related? You probably don't see much of my face since I tend to cut it off kind of accidentally-on-purpose when taking early morning shots!

According to Style.com, eyebrow pencils were used at the 3.1 Phillip Lim Fall '09 show to create "strong eyebrows straight out of the eighties", not too sure that they're really that '80s but I guess I wasn't born till '87 so I'm no expert! It also says that the make-up artist drew them in one by one, you will not see me doing that! I have very little patience where daily make-up is concearned (though for special occasions I do love a good set of fake eyelashes!). I'm thinking these may not translate from runway to real-life, however;

But imagine these bad boys, but kinda neater looking, pretty much without the individually drawn on strays. Nice, no?

ps the mouse is back, and this time he's not under my bed but is mingling with my shoes under the wardrobe. My flatmate and I have decided to call in the professionals.

Traps

Hey!

Somewhat bored today, hence the slightly dull outfit. I thought I'd post it anyway, in the interests of daily updates. I'm saving all my energy for tomorrow, The Mighty Boosh live tour, and the day after - my birthday party! I am aware that these photos create the illusion that I have no waist, but I promise you I do...it's under all the layers!

I got this brown hoodie thing, it's wool-ish material but kinda thin, in Zara a couple of years ago but never really liked it because I didn't think it flattered my *cough* chest area. I still don't think it does actually. The tee is from primark and the dress is from ebay, I have my battered New Look wedges on the feet.
Oh! And the mouse came back yesterday evening for round two of the freak out. I was watching Gossip Girl on the laptop, facing the door of course and he poked his head under. I screamed and he retreated. Major cleaning was done, a pet cat was considered, tears were shed, traps were set and the numbers of several 24-hour pest control companies duely noted. Whilst I find the idea of a dead animal equally disgusting and unclean as a live one, I hope he goes for the traps because it freaks me out that he's living so close to my tights and underwear. My mum suggested I go home last night but I decided to stay and guard the clothes, aren't I brave?
