The Fashion Faux Pas of Gabrielle An unconventional fashion blogger trying to find her place on the internet

Learning how to do my own make up

14/03/2018

I’m proud to say that I now feel like I can officially call myself a real blogger after Aaron very kindly bought me my first ever item from Urban Decay – The Naked Heat Palette (I’m marrying a diamond – he even played ball when I wanted him to style an outfit for my last post). Yes, I feel that purchasing a product has solidified my status in my blogger life and am not ashamed to admit it 😉
Anyway, ever since then I’ve been practicing and practicing, watching all of the tutorials I possibly can to try and master a good eyeshadow look that I can do on the regular. It’s been a long slog teaching this epic failure of a makeup applicator to do such wizardly things, but I truly feel that I’ve made some progress!

It was only after seeing the above picture that I started to think to myself “hey Gaby, you might not be as bad as you think at this old make up malarkey!” So I started to try out some other looks; mixing up my palettes (not just limiting myself to the Naked Heat one, but combining with a Revolution one I’ve been quite fond of). I was going out for a wedding dress fitting and dinner with my Grandma and decided to have a play around with my makeup to see what I could come up with. Here are a few snaps of my makeup wizardry;

NOTE: I haven’t showcased the other bad side of my face where the most enormous spot erupted that very same day and looked almost like a bruise – there was no hope for me there 😉

The following day I was caught off guard by my Grandad calling me to go out to lunch (it was twelve o clock and I was still in my pyjamas tending to the washing up) – I didn’t have too long to get ready, but wanted to continue documenting my progress in the makeup wizardry department and used the Naked Heat palette to put together the following look (in addition to my usual base staples);


My eyeliner was NOT on fleek – I was on the phone to Specsavers who were confirming my appointment for the following day and then my Auntie Magi who was calling for a chat so wasn’t concentrating on getting it to look spot on, but all in all it wasn’t too shabby!

The final day was another look similar to the previous days – my eyeliner wasn’t that great, but the shadow was showing some great promise! I also noticed that I had a bit of mascara fall out (see first picture) having worn it for a couple of hours at this point – note to self: go and buy a new bloody mascara.
Conclusion

I’ve come a hell of a long way from the girl that used to plaster on the silver glitter up to her eyebrows – I also appreciate the great cameras we have today so my shots aren’t pixelated and blurry. But all in all, I don’t think I’m THAT bad at makeup anymore 😉

Thought I’d make another appearance on here sinc Thought I’d make another appearance on here since it’s been over a year since my last post, so here’s one from my Tiktok #sustainableootd #ootd #vintedfinds
Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise birthday outing last night, although I’m definitely feeling it today! Love you both loads ❤️❤️
So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve been working and saving away with this gorgeous man to make sure that we could buy a house and we’ve only gone and done it! We’re now in the process of fixing it up and getting our bedroom ready to move in to, so hope we can get in next week! I’m going to be sharing the whole process on our Tiktok account which you can follow @thealbonrenovation - the first post on there is just a video showing the whole house as it was when we bought it on Friday (it’s changed a lot since then!) - so give us a follow it you love a bit of home renovation! 🥳🥳 #firsttimebuyers #newhouse
When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear ❄️ what a week it’s been! I’ve been shivering away, heating on full blast and my dressing gown wrapped around me as I work this week - I love the look of snow but hate the cold! Had a day of hypochondria where I had a cough and was convinced it was Covid - but turns out my husband knows me best and that it wasn’t. And that’s probably the most exciting bit of news I l have for you all! How are you all doing?!
Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time between posts as I have been in the last few months, so I think a couple of weeks is an improvement! On our way home from food shopping last week (highlight of the week!) we decided to stop by one of my favourite spots to take some outfit photos, where the majority of what I’m wearing is second hand (bag, jacket and jumper). I’m getting extremely stir crazy, but at the same time have turned into quite the hermit, I miss going out for lunch with Aaron, mooching around the charity shops and going out to do site visits for work - let’s hope this vaccine helps bring some normality!
And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to make myself feel like I was going somewhere tonight by putting a full face of makeup on, with the intention of sitting on the sofa sharing a bottle of Disaronno with Aaron to see the new year in! We might hit up the kitchen, the living room and Aaron suggested the bathroom but I wasn’t sure 😂 what have you got planned for tonight? And Happy New Year to everyone!
And that’s Christmas over for another year (alth And that’s Christmas over for another year (although let’s be honest, 2020 may as well not have happened!) and I just hope to god 2021 is a damn site better for everyone! Since I’ve been attempting to cut out purchasing brand new clothing all together, bar a few items such as underwear and pyjamas, I’m hoping once Hertfordshire is out of Tier 4 that I can head to the shops and do some serious secondhand shopping and use the vouchers I got to buy myself some new beauty bits. How was your quiet Christmas and have you got any beauty recommendations for me? #hertsbloggers #fashionbloggeruk #ukfashionblogger #ukstyleblogger #hertsbloggerlove #sustainablefashionblogger #secondhandfashionblogger #petitebloggeruk #petitefashionbloggeruk #outfitinspo #mylookoftheday #ootdshare #ukfashionblog #petitestyle #hertfordshirebloggers #funkyfashion #ukfashion #ootdinspo #canon700d #canon #amatuerphotography #aspiringfashionblogger #aspiringblogger
