    The quality of Hell Bunny dresses are very good for the price and they look very cute on. They vanity size a tiny bit though (like most brands these days), I ordered a Small but next time will go for XS.

    Oh my god, the Vintage stuff on that site is EXACTLY what I've been looking for recently! :eek:

    I'm right between size measurements though - should I go for the bigger or smaller?

    I ordered a size 12 dress and I would be between a 12 and 14, it fit perfectly, so in my experience I wouldn't go for a size bigger if I was ordering again.

    The jacket doesn't look half as nice in the picture - I'm a lot shorter and rounder, for some reason I think it suits me better! Doesn't happen very often!

    Excellent! I'm the same, between a 12 and 14 (although according to the size guide, my boobs would make me a 16 :eek: ). But the one I want is a bit stretchy across the chest and very fitted at the waist so I went by waist size. I'm just waiting for them to get the petticoat back in stock now :D.

    Yup, I love High Beam, lasts for an age too :) Just gives a little sheen. Can lift your makeup and give a nice glow in the evening!

    I love High Beam, think it's brilliant! It really does last for ages. I've had mine a year and use 3-4 times a week. I put it on my cheekbones, under brows and above my lip/under my nose.

    Above lip? Haven't tried that. I put it on my collar bones if they are on view too ;)

    I saw this but the girl in the shop said it was the same as the moroccon oil I have so i might get it when i've used up my other stuff, the bottle of the orofluido is soooo glam!

    I bought High Beam a few years ago and I've had half a bottle sitting in the make up chest (where all the reject makeup goes) for yonks.

    I dont find it makes an ounce of difference to my make up at all


    Oh and latest purchases:

    Long sleeved grey top from Topshop with slits all the way up the arms. Can't find a picture online.

    and this

    04F07XOFF_normal.jpg

    http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=2013904&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=230160&parent_categoryId=203984&sort_field=Relevance&pageSize=200&refinements=category~[209733|230160]&noOfRefinements=1

    I got a voucher for Topshop for christmas and those two things (and a scarf I put up earlier) have been the only things I can find. I think this 70's revival trend is absolutely vile. Vomit toned ochres, oranges and camel/beige. And the fact that everything is either oversized or cropped. Where have all the good clothes gone?

    I find if you apply it where you want with the brush, leave it to dry for about 45 seconds, and then blend, you get a much better look. Otherwise I've found it rubs off my foundation off/cakes my make up/just turns invisible and makes no difference. Letting it dry a little really has helped me

    Also got lots of new calico cotton (in green, blue and yellow, under the lace in the pic) and lots of eyelet trim..

    147211.jpg

    Which I made into a prairie circle skirt, I'll try post it in WIWT sometime during the week.

    Making your own clothes is soo much more expensive than just buying them :o
