Teen choice award outfits, best and worst!

We've all heard the hype, from presenter Katy Perry's outfit changes to Megan Fox's overly botox, creepily perfect face. One thing I love about these awards is the outfits and I find that I gain more inspiration from the TeenChoice award than I do from let say the Oscars. This is mainly because the Teen Choice awards are alot more casual. They arn't about glitz and glam on a high scale since people tone it down for the youngsters. This year was no exception either...

Thumbs up;


Victoria Justice.
I love this outfit. It is so simple and effortless. The blue is a gorgeous shade that really pops against her skin tone. The shoes that have been teamed with the dress are making my heart skip a beat. I love leopard print and I think it was great that Victoria didn't fall down the same black pump trap like alot of others do. This outfit is definitely a great look!


Selena Gomez
What a lovely dress. Again a very simple look but it still looks great. I do howeve think the shoes don't really match the outfit. Colour wise they arn't bad but the shoes would be really interesting with another outfit.


Kim Kadashian
You know, so many articles have called this trashy but I liked her look. She really toned it down for these awards which is great and plus she knows her style. Many of you may have been noticing her newest thing for one armed dresses but who cares at least she is on trend!


Kristen Bell
I love this Stella McCartney dress. The colour is really fun and the shape is really flattering. When I first saw this dress I didn't think it was that great but I'm off the fence now and I really think this is one of the best outfits of the night!


Troian Avery Bellisario
I like the sparkles, I like the cut outs and overall including the make up I love this look!! Classy but not too adult for the occasion. I also have some shoes just like this [... but obviously her's arn't from the British highstreet] so extra points there!


Megan Fox
I really really like this outfit. The clothes are by Isabel Marant. I think this is great because Megan must find it quite hard at occasions like these. The nature of the work she does means that we relate the things she wears as being to seductive but when it came to the teen bash she really played it off well.

Thumbs down;


Yvonne Strahovski
Ill advised. This outfit would be nice somewhere else but this is TEEN choice awards. I don't this was really appropriate. I like the shoes, coral is a really on trend colour for summer but I'm just really not a fan of the dress at all. I also think she should of had her hair down since she has beautiful hair.


Emma Roberts
Oh no, seriously? I really am not usually such a trash talker but this is awful. I'm all for pale skin tone since I'm a complete milk bottle myself but this outfit makes her look so awful. The colours really are not flattering. The cut of the dress is so strange, you look at the top and think oh nice cocktail dress, but no you are confronted with this length at the end that covers one of Emma Robert's best assets!


Jenna Dewan
She looks like she's going to some sort of school disco. I feel like no effort went into this outfit at all. I know she played it safe with black but it didn't work =|.


Katerina Graham
Oh thigh high boots, how I hate thee. Now this overall outfit is awful! From the strange gill things on the dress, to the boots, to the tacky pink lipgloss. This here is a beautiful women. Why is she not showing herself off?? I must mention though that there are points there for the hair, that was probably the only successful piece.

Chanel Nail Varnish





I was having a general conversation with my friend and we came across to Chanel nail varnishes. I would really love this one because at the moment I love deep shades; reds, purples, blacks. It is $25,00 for a pot but worth it I'd say.

Luella Magazine


Back in January 2009, the internet was spammed with hundreds of rumors concerning a new bi-annual magazine; LUELLA! I have completely forgot about this until now when I was looking for images of the most recent Luella runway show.
I got all excited when I saw the front cover with Jordan Dunn, I know for sure that if this magazine existed, I would rant, rave and subscribe for sure.
I remember thinking: 'Oh please, oh please say this wasn't just some horrible rumor created so fashion lovers like me get all excited, and then have all our hope ripped away.'
But, I have found a quote from a spokesperson who said: "The rumors are simply not true. There is no Luella magazine. We keep telling people that it's not happening but they run with the story anyway. It just goes to show that people will believe anything that they read."
Okay spokesperson, some of us do believe what we read, and some of us got excited.
Never mind, one day I will have my own magazine and it shall be wonderful.

Love K

p.s. I still love you, Luella Bartley.

Urban Decay Hearts NYC New box of shadows!!!!



Omg guys. Seriously!
If you are following me on twitter your dash would have just got spammed. I am so so so excited. I'm sure you know by now that I am a complete Urban Decay junkie. Last night Urban Decay were sending out some sneeky cryptic tweets to hint towards this new masterpiece but unfortunatly I missed the direct unveiling since I was in bed sending out some Zzzzzz's. In all fairness though they did release details in a different time zone!!

Thanks to the awesome Tumblr of Tastelikeglitter I caught the buzz this morning. She also confirmed for me that this little treasure will be coming to the U.K! I am so very surprised though that I haven't seen many other blogs and Tumblrs I follow posting about this!!

I love the box of shadows released by Urban Decay. I have the BOS 2 and the Alice in Wonderland. I'm sure that this will keep up the great tradition ;)! Just like the previous BOS the box contains a small bottle of primer potion, 2 eyeliners and 16 eyeshadows. Since there has been a lack of details due to it being early days and the photo not showing a close up of the eyeshadows there is no news on the shadows that will be included in the box. However the last BOS [BOS 2] did have exclusive in so I am guessing this one will too!!

Oh Urban Decay how I love thee!
I hope you bon bons are impressed! Are you guys as excited as me??

Kidnapped and held hostage in Wales? [Superdrug face mask review!!]

Ok a last minutes trip with the boyfriend came between me and the face masks. I'll admit, bad times. Wales was amazing. It really was beautiful. I knocked going there so bad but really when we got there it was something else! If it's any consolation though, 5 am starts and days without make-up and unstraightened hair was a main part out our adventure!!

But to make up for my absents and well... because I forgot to pack the face masks I popped into a Superdrug for some of there own brand facemasks to try out. At 81p a sachet you can't really go wrong although I am still weeping at the thought of those beloved old face masks Superdrug use to do and there marvelous packaging! I picked up a few so to show you how deeply sorry I am this post will have not 1 but 2 reviews! [How exciting!] I know it would not really be a straight up review if I did 2 face masks in one day what with having the effects from one already so how did I do it I hear you ask? Well the boyfriend of course!! Although he did decline a picture whilst having the face mask on, he did offer to help me out through my awesome powers of blagging =]!!



The mask I chose was the Chocolate mud mask that to my surprise did actually make me want chocolate at the smell of it!! There was enough in the sachet for my face, infact more than enough so I was pleased. When I put the mask on my face my oppinion changed, and it wasn't because of Ryan's lovely comments about what it looked like on my face!! I felt an uncomfortable stinging sensation. Not the pleasant tingle that usually greets me from mud masks. Infact the feeling made my eyes water a little and worried me, I thought I was having some sort of allergic reaction! I was tempted to wash it off early after having thoughts about those people who have massive swelled faces after an allergic reaction to hair dye but I didn't want to fail you guys! Plus I'm not usually allergic to cosmetics! It took longer than the stated time to dry but that could of been me maybe putting the layers on too thick? After washing it off though my skin did feel very smooth, even today it still feels smoother than usual.

The mask I gave my boyfriend was a Pomegranate and cranberry peel mask. Again there was more than enough in the sachet. I applied it for him and to be honest I couldn't really smell the fruit. Although he said he could when it was on. Unlike me the sensation the mask gave was ''a good tingly feeling'' not a painful sting! Although there was one similarity, it didn't dry in the allocated time? Maybe I just put them on too thick? The results were as good as mine and when it was washed off I could actually smell it? Strange.

One rant I do have though is the packaging. In an era of environmental concern you really would have thought they could have reduced the sachet size which is wayyyy to big for the amount that is inside. Just sayin'!!

So a bit of a thumbs down for my mask since it was uncomfortable but that could have been just me? The results were good anyway. I would recommend the pomegranate and cranberry peel mask over the chocolate one to be honest!! At 81p a pack though you could really just get both to try out!
