A week in Photos

As i haven't written a blog in over a week i thought i would show my week in photos, keeping it short & sweet.

I successfully made dinner.

The cats were spooning.

I saw this with Brandon in IMAX & 3D...it was amazing.

Magic on a Merc

As you know i took some photos of Isha Knight( Call me pepper ) a few months back, other then the jubilee and olympic themed photographs i also took some of her looking lovely on a beat up old merc. Here is the outcome!

The last one is my favourite. 

She is my all time favourite person to shoot, she is so easy to work with and knows what direction i want before i do.

Madre

So a few weeks ago i went on a Mother & Daughter photo shoot with my Mum which i bought her for her birthday last year. We had a lovely day, hair and make up professionally done and a load of different sets and equipment. It was really weird being the person infront of a camera, although according to the lovely photographer at Fresh academy we were really photogenic? Im sure she tells all her clients that, either way we loved the day and the photo below is the outcome! Cheesy smiles all round...

Then i came across this beaut of a photo of the last mother and daughter shoot we done when i was 3/4! The funny thing is our pose and smile hasn't changed! haha, aren't we silly billy's.

The Fabulous Five

I thought I would show you what my five essential items to my every day basic makeup look is. It has taken me so long to find make up that doesn't wear off, or effect my eczema so I am so happy I finally have!

Firstly is my five make up must haves.

1. Benefit erase paste in fair.

I have mentioned this before but for someone with baggy eyes like me it works perfectly and really helps define my eyebrows.

2. Mac studio fix fluid in NC15. 

Because I'm so pale and my skin has bad blemishes this isn't too thick and matches my skin colour perfectly! Great every day foundation but it's a must to use a foundation brush.

3. Benefit sugabomb blusher. 

A nice yummy pinky blusher with a mixture of different shades.

4. Rimmel eyebrow pencil in medium brown. 

This works wonders and with the little brush on the end makes it easy to shape them bushy brows.

5. Finally Benefit bad girl lash.  

A huge brush making it easy to get full looking lashes.

What is in your fabulous five?

Patriotic Princess

I recently took some photographs of the incredibly beautiful and talented Isha Knight. I was going for a british theme, looking at the olympics and the queens jubilee. Here are some photographs i took. 

My favourite of the jubilee glamour is the image below. Her make up was enjoyable to do and gave a very english rose look. The one product i live and swear by when doing photo shoots is  Benefit erase paste it is a very thick concealer but works perfectly to help define eyebrow shapes and cover any blemishes...its ahh'mazing. The photo is not fully edited and you can still see half my room but Isha looks so stunning it blows me away. 

Now this photo is my favourite. After an hour of painting her body, going over the lines and pinning that bloody material to her knickers we finally got it together and it is exactly how i imagined it. The bright colours and the black contrasting against them works so well and i am so pleased with the outcome. Still not fully edited but i can tell it is going to be a powerful piece. Thank you again Miss Knight!

Please check out Isha Knight, also knows as Call me Pepper's blog.

Crazy cat lady

Ever since I was a little girl I have been a major animal lover, that animal programme with Rolf Harris was always on and I was an aspiring vet. (yeah soo that didn't happen) but my love for cats has now reached a crazy level and it doesn't help that my boyfriend has 5!
I'm always around them but my mother will not let me get my own little kitty cat since my belle passed away :( I wanted to share a picture of me and my first cat Belle, she was 5 when she passed away because of a silly bus driver and I was only 10 when she did, I was heart broken.
Below is a picture of me and belle when we first got her she was so cute. I'm trying to convince my mum to let me have another cat, but in the mean time i am In love with my boyfriends 5 cats, peach, Archie, marmite, fatso and gingerone. Below is a hilarious photo of marmite dancing and peach just chilling. I can assure you there will be alot more cat photos to come!
