The Craft by Lou Teasdale ♥

The Craft by Lou Teasdale - £6.89 Amazon

How awesome is this book?! I originally saw it on Zoe London's blog a while ago, I loved the look of it so I just had to buy it. It is so different but yet so me (& it had a sticker page at the back so.. win win situation). I only really bought it for the cool pictures, makeup looks and hairstyles, not really for the tutorials. The whole layout of the book is very blogger-esque, the photography is interesting and the pages have a colourful scrapbook theme to them. It has a very different approach to beauty, it is all about grungy/punk makeup and hair looks, nothing too prim and proper. I have been reaching for this for some hair and makeup inspo, just by looking through the pictures it has, I always find something I like. The book itself looks pretty and colourful sitting out on my dressing table, so all round I love it!

I hope you like the look of it too and for only £6.89 what's not to love?!

Hey! I hope you all had a good weekend:) I am having a listen to some old Paramore tracks at the moment while writing this post, I find it easier to concentrate somehow if I am listening to music. Do any of you like Paramore?

I would love love love to work in the makeup industry one day, it would be a dream come true, for now I will just have to keep wishing as I live in an area with no decent colleges and the next best one is 3 and a half hours away! grr. 

My mum picked me this book as part of my Christmas and I absolutely love it. It has everything in it that you could ever need to know. I use YouTube a lot for makeup tips and tricks but now I have it all in this book, it is a makeup lovers bible basically, it includes tutorials, career options and help, all about brushes and your equipment, skincare info and loads more. There is 200+ pages and each one is filled with useful information, the photos are colourful, crystal clear and inspirational which I love.

If you love makeup and love learning new things then you NEED this book in your life.
