Cats & Roses (and also some Megan)

Hello there~ I hope you are well.

The other day, I was being antisocial in my room and I heard my dad yell "close your eyes" - now, when this happens, i'm usually calm about it, but my dad had been outside and he could have brought me anything. Then I heard screams from my sisters room, "OWCH! IT'S GOT THOOOOORNS!"  I knew then what it was~ my dad gave me, my sister and my mum a rose from our garden~ let's all appreciate the lovely rose~

 Of course, Daisy had to investigate~

 She was soon bored of sniffing roses and went back to her duties of sleeping 

Thank you dad for my beautiful rose <3

I met up with my beautiful friend Meg (you may recognise her from a review post I did on a chocolate face mask) today (we've realised we've been friends for nearly 6 years!) and we went out to Chester~
I haven't seen Meg for the past year because she was studying in Georgia (USA, not Georgia in Europe-ish area), but now she's back and it's like she's never left me! So here are some photos of us - we didn't take any photos of Chester.

Her nail varnish was soooooo prettyyyy~

MEG YOU BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.

Costa's peach lemonade (and strawberry) is so amazing

 Safe to say I love her to pieces and i'm glad she's my best friend~ (soppy)

I hope you guys are all well! Thanks for taking the time to read this post~
I shall end it on this:

THINGS MY HAIR MATCHES: Bombay Sapphire bottle and this Sully cereal box.

No photoshop whatsoever.

It's been a while!

Hello there stranger~!

Right, where on earth do I begin?! I think an apology is in order because I have not blogged in the longest time, and I miss it! So, I am sorry to you, the kind person who bothers to read my blog.

So, what have I been up to?
Well, since you've asked, I shall bullet point it for you because that way, I won't ramble and it'll be quicker to read:

• I have finished my foundation course at uni and I passed with a distinction~
• I've been busy sorting out uni things (as in aaaallll my wubbish that I brought home with me)
• The foundation course I was on took up a lot of my time, so I didn't have time nor energy to blog
• I've started YouTube-ing now, so my makeup tutorials will be there! (I'll post a link a bit later on in this post for y'all)

Soooo yes, all in all, uni took over my life and kept me on my toes~

I made the decision to make a YouTube channel because I just found it easier to record my tutorials rather than taking photos and posting them, I dunno, it's just easier for me. I'm having fun with it all now, ESPECIALLY as I have a new camera~! UGH HE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. Yes, my Canon EOS 700D is a boy and is called Keith - don't judge me.

I needed a new camera anyway as my Nikon D60 doesn't record and I was using the webcam in my Mac and the quality was okay, BUT THIS IS A WHOLE NEW WORLD~ So I am very very pleased c:

~~~

I thought about blogging when I was getting ready this morning and I thought to myself "why not do a little awkward outfit of the day?", so I did (and I camwhored), enjoy~

Face of the day~!
Went all out with eyelashes and contact lenses, aww yiss.

I've been so lazy with my eyebrows lately, i've not been bothered to pluck or trim them, hence why they're looking a bit caveman-ish.

LOOOOK HOW CUTE THIS HEAD BAND IS! Oh Primark~ (£2.50 if any of you were wondering~)

Denim Coat - Pull&Bear
Grey Dress - New Look

Sand Timer Necklace - Top Shop

Floral Socks - H&M
Leather Brogues - Top Shop

I'm sorry again for not blogging as much, but I will be back to blogging and things and yeah!
QUESTION: should I change my layout? If you can make me a pretty layout, i'll be forever in your favour~! <3

Thanks for reading guys, I hope you're all well!

Mini Series: Eevee Evolutions

Hello everyone~!

I have a mini series for you - oooooohhh~! And this mini series is the Eevee evolutions from Pokemon! YAY! I thank my friend Tim (Ommynoms on YouTube), for this idea. I wanted to do some game related looks and he suggested making Eevee evolutions wearable, without going OTT and I thought that was a fabulous idea!
So what better way to start this evolution process than to have the pokemon that started it all - Eevee~

This look's really matte and simple - super easy, right?

Here are some photos for you:

And here's the video for you:

I hope you enjoyed this look, and I hope you stay tuned for the rest of the series!
Don't worry, I will still be posting other makeup looks as well as this little series c:

Jennifer Lawrence inspired makeup for Valentines Day

Hello everyone~!
As you all know, i've started a YouTube channel and I am uploading makeup tutorials on there and a cooking series called Saving Students. My channel name, for those who might not know, is TheElegantMoustache, funnily enough~

Today's tutorial is a Jennifer Lawrence inspired look for Valentines Day~! It's super smokey and gorgeous.
I am so so sooooo sorry for the out of sync-ness in some parts of the video, I don't know how to adjust it so it's in sync and i've decided I hate voicing over, I hope you don't mind too much!
I will now declare my love for Jennifer Lawrence: oh my, I do adore this woman! I'm not a celebrity lover (bad wording, I know), when I was younger, I was, but not so much now, BUT, i've seen Miss Lawrence in interviews and OHHHH, she's just so down to earth! We'd be best friends - wow. How creepy does that sound?!
Anywho!
Here are some photos for you:

And here is the video for you:

I hope you enjoyed this look! 

If you have any questions or a look you'd like me to do, you can tweet me @nadia_harrison or email me at elegant.mustache@yahoo.co.uk

Thank you for reading/watching~! x

OOTD (January 23rd 2013)

Hello everyone~!
A few things to mention before I start this blog post, a few things have changed:
1) I am now blonde
2) I have a piercing
3) I haven't blogged since sometime near Halloween..
And I am so, so, sorry! University work has just been catching up with me, and I shouldn't have excuses, but I do, and i'm very, very sorry. This year, i'll be bringing you blog posts and videos - OOOHHH, how exciting! Well, I think it's exciting, hopefully you'll stay tuned with me and watch what I do!
With that being said, I shall now start the proper blog post!

This blog post is about mine and my good friend Mia's OOTD (outfit's of the day) for the 23rd of January, 2013. It is rather cold here in Wales and, as everyone knows, it's snowing too, so we wrapped up warm and this is what we wore, I hope you enjoy! (Photographs further down the page)

 A big thank you to Mia for being in this video and for letting me use her camera~!
If you liked this OOTD business, let me know! I'd love to have feedback from you guys!
