The Vintage Rose Of Summer by Hannabal Marie

 Hellou ladies and gents

I have been spending too much time over at my facebook with posting and whatnot, so I kind of forgot about this blog for a while, but I had to put a stop to that. 

I will be posting more here and redirecting my fans and friends from FB over to this blog instead of just posting. 

So yeah, thought I'd let you guys know I'm still here...I'm still kicking it! (haha)

This post isn't anything crazy nor huge, just got some nice nude pumps and found this lovely vintage dress from a thrift shop, so I just wanted to create a look with 'em. 

I also wanted to test out this nude palette I got from Ebay. 

So yeah, all this just for your viewing pleasures.

 Such a cute dress, I especially love the collar! 

It's hard to tell from these crappy photos but it's teeny tiny little blue/green/yellow/white flowers. (Hence the post's name- also, the name I choose for this post is supposed to be a play on Tom Waits' song called "The last rose of summer" Nothing extremely clever but eh, I liked the ring to it! XD

Just some full body shots, sorry for the quality but it was night time when I decided to take pix! haha

| Dress: Vintage Dress from a thrift store in Lodi | Necklace: Peridot "Birthstone" Necklace from Ebay | Earrings: Golden 

 Owl Earrings from a little family owned shop in Lodi. | Wig: Curly Brown Wig from Ebay | Shoes&Tights: Cream pumps from Kmart & Retro Pinup Tights from Ebay | Belts: Felt brown belt I had for years & Chain Cross Belt I also had for many many years. | 

Now, onto the pumps:

Here are the pumps I mentioned. I got them at our local Kmart, because Kmart is close to home and quite frankly, I enjoy the prices! (So hush!) haha But I fell in the love with the way they looked and the color and such. I would have gotten them in Black but I own so many in Black already, I wanted to switch it up a bit with a color I have never owned. It's like a cream color, very beautiful in person...These photos simply don't do them justice!

Because I wanted to pose, I did so. For you...just for you! XD HA!

ANDDD...I also wanted to see what these pumps would look like with my lace socks. Yep, Purdy cuteeee! <3

ANYWHO:

I also did a makeup look and thus, this post should also include some up close facial shots. I delivered:

Like I said, I had a palette that was collecting dust, so I went ahead and played with some of the browns. And by "some" I mean...most of 'em..actually! haha!

 The palette for your looking eyes. In case, for some odd reason, you thought I was lying! haha! Just look at 'em....look at the beautiful colors...makes ya want to lick 'em, huh? HA!

 

And now...we go onto my work of art...or something close to that...HA!

 In this look I just went for a classic vintage beauty, with my little "heart mole" to match.

And because I didn't want to mess up my mug when I finished with my "shoot", I decided to play around with my accessories a bit. Here I am with the belt as a headpiece. I wish I owned a turban, I'd look like a bad ass future teller!

Anywho, thanks for reading and catching up and all that...jazz? Yes, Jazz! :)

Ebay Item: Rhinestone Claw Rings (Review)

Hello ladies and gents

I have been thinking I should be doing reviews of products I've gotten through ebay and the like.  

(I mostly want to review ebay purchases though)

One thing is for certain, when I attempt to purchase something, I try to see if someone has a review based on the product I want to purchase but sadly I never find any, so I end up taking risks that sometimes never live up to my standards..but sometimes I end up getting more than I bargained for, so it's all a huge surprise either way. 

I want to help other people out here who like pretty things but are too scared to buy them for the fear they might get their money taken without a word. 

(believe me, I've had it done to be many times on ebay!) 

So I will start posting reviews on things I either find worthy enough for a post or even things I found completely ridiculous, so many of you can watch out for this said retailer and the product. 

(NOTE: Everything I will review I bought with my own money! I just decided to review them on my own time. I am not being paid or anything for this review.)

The first thing that has come in the mail is the following:

Easter Bunny Makeup by Hannabal Marie!

I never got around to actually posting my Easter look. 

Apologies, and to be completely frank, I might be late on lots of holidays unless I don't happen to be busy or if I simply forgotten about 'em and somehow I get reminded, so just keep that in mind. Haha!
anywho, I didn't quite do much on this holiday and I wasn't expecting to do much but as being the custom in my life, I didn't want to NOT do anything...so i just quickly threw some makeup on and paraded around the house until I felt like washing it off. (haha)

 I just wanted an excuse to take a pic with a chocolate rabbit. 

My mum gave me the rings and asked for me to do a 'makeup look' inspired by them. 

so in a way, these looks are for her.

Anywho, like I said...this is a pointless post but I needed to get 'em out here in the open before I forgot any further. Besides they were taking up some room on my computer...not much but some. HAHA!
