Whit is having a Spice Girls-themed contest! I did a bit of a search on Google Images as I love Emma B's make-up, she always looks stunning. I found lots of images but in all the pictures, she has very natural make-up on! I stumbled across this picture and decided to give it a go! Here are the products I used, the colours I used from the palettes are outlined in orange!And here is the finished look! The pics aren't great at showing the colours since I was doing this at night and had no natural light. It looks kinda silver and black when in reality I used MAC Dazzlelight for the inner corners, which is a beige highlight colour!
I stumbled across this programme called X-Weighted a couple of years back, and I loved the format of it and found it very motivating! Much to my utter joy, I found out they had a new series being shown on Sky Real Lives channel. Basically it features a new person every episode, and begins with a bit of their background. Then, Paul turns up (usually in shorts or a lycra top of some description)
So, in this picture, his outfit isn't particularly body-hugging, but it is usually!!
Paul measures their body and weighs them then they are whisked off to do the fitness test! So they puff and pant to the finish line, after bunny-hops, tyre-flips and numerous stand up-lie downs! (I'm outta breath just watching those poor souls!). Then, Paul goes round to their house with a big ol' bin bag and basically throws the entire contents of their fridge, freezer and cupboards in it! It then follows that person in their weightloss journey i.e. early morning gym trips, personal trainer sessions, aerobics classes etc etc. Then some funky music comes on and that signalls the arrival of Fred, who in the early series was a hairstylist, but is now a self-esteem expert?! He comes along and does some wardrobe cleansing, as well as offering some self-esteem advice i.e. positive thinking, and more cliches than you could shake a stick at!
At the 3 month point, the person does a mid-point weigh in. It's all smoky and atmospheric as the person walks slowly towards the scales! They usually set themselves a high weightloss goal, 60+ pounds over a 6-month period, so this is the tell-tale point to see if the pounds are coming off! Needless to say, most are disapointed but Paul gives them a little pep-talk and they are off again!
It's more footage of their journey, where you start to see their lives being turned around and their waists shrinking! Tonight's episode featured a girl whose goal was to climb the CN Tower (all 1779 steps!) so Paul took her to Niagara Falls (with me shouting at the TV "been there!", "saw that!") and told her they would be climbing up a smaller tower. She really struggled and I wasn't sure if she would manage the CN Tower! But, to my amazement, she did it!
At the end of the programme, they do a final weigh-in and measurments, with teary-eyed loved ones standing alongside. Then they do a before and after shot, and there's always a noticeable improvement!
Then it's back to improve upon the fitness test, which they always do! Then cue more funky music, on comes Fred and transforms them into a glamourpuss!
I LOVE it! If you haven't seen it, it's on Sky Real Lives in the UK, and probably available in the US/Canada (where it's made) too!
Sorry for the random post, but I had to share!
My own wightloss journey begins tomorrow, i'm joining Weight Watchers! Stay tuned for that!
I was so excited to receive my Spell Cosmetics order the other day! I ordered their Loaded Collection, which basically is a set of gorgeous vibrant colours. They are all totally wearable and very pigmented! I love the way this turned out! Click on the images for a larger version

So I was browsing Google Reader and came across Laura's blog. She had responded to a Tag of celebrity men you have a crush on and, in particular, ones that are embarrassing, shameful and just downright wrong! I have a fair few, so here goes...
Donal MacIntyre. So not typically a hunk, but the sight of him flexing his muscles in those tight, rhinestone-spangled outfits of Dancing on Ice made me go weak at the knees!
Owen Wilson. So, Owen isn't exactly the hottest crumpet in the..err..bread bin?! But he has a witty, dry sense of humour, which is very appealing in a man!
Robert DeNiro. Right, so he is getting on a bit, but I reckon he oozes sex-appeal!
Richard Gere. In the film An Officer and a Gentleman, he wears this tight white naval uniform, and he is a serious hottie! I couldn't find any pictures to show this, but here is a video clip of the film. Ooooft!
Alan Dale. Okay, so in my youth, Alan Dale was better known as Jim Robinson in Neighbours. But age has really agreed with him and in Lost he is a hot baddie!
I'd love to see who you really shouldn't...but do!!
