Classic Marilyn ( Marilyn Monroe Inspired Makeup )
STEPS
1. Foundation- For my base, I mixed my Rimmel match perfection in the shade light porcelain with my sleek white rose foundation together. To create a colour shade that matches my skin perfectly.
2. Blusher/Bronzer- For a little bit of colour on my cheeks, I lightly blended my favourite bronzer by MUA in the shade sunkissed glow across my cheeks. Then I lightly blended a tiny bit of bronzer at the tip of my nose to give my nose more shape.
3. Eyeshadow-For my eye shadow I applied the colour "Bow" from my Sleek i Divine Oh So special Palette across my eye lid. From the same palette I applied the colour "Organza" in my inner crease. To add a little bit of sparkle , using my Sleek i Divine Vintage romance Palette. I used the colour "Court in Cannes" over the top of organza , which created a soft sparkly gold.
4. Mascara - For my lashes I used my MUA extreme volume lash mascara.
5. Lipstick/lipliner- To outline my lips I used my MUA lip liner pencil in the colour red drama. Then I applied my MAC red lipstick , over the top I applied my MUA Lipstick in the shade 13 to give my lip different shades of red and a little bit of a shine.

Marilyn Monroe LookBook
Who could forget this famous 1950/60s beauty ? No one can... Marilyn Monroe is one of the most memorable Pin ups , who still to this day is one of the most iconic women to have lived.
Her unique beauty and vulnerability made her stand out from the crowd , women who envied her wanted to be her. While men wanted to be with her and praised her as an iconic sex symbol.
Marilyn is my personal favorite Pin up of all time. She Is classy and elegant but at the same time has a sultry element to her. Her elegant style shows of her womanly curvaceous figure which any young lady would adore to have.

All Time Favourite Movies/Films
Hello Everyone.... So does anyone else love getting into some cosy Pj's ,tucked up in bed under the duvet covers on a cold night and watching one of your favourite films ? I know I do...
Here is some of my favourite films of all time!
Marry Poppins!
Who doesn't like Marry poppins? This is one of my favourite childhood films! Julie Andrews , Dick Van Dyke and David Tomlinson star in this 1964 classic. Marry Poppins is a super nanny with extraordinary magical powers , who teaches two spoiled and bored upper crust Edwardian English children how to enjoy life. The film combines songs, color and sequences of live action blended with the movements of stunning animated figures.
Pirates Of The Caribbean!
I love all the Pirates Of The Caribbean films.Which stars Johnny Depp , Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom. Captain Jack sparrow is a witty and savvy Pirate , whereas is Will turner is a respectful blacksmith .Jack and Will team up to search for the governor's daughter Elizabeth , who has been kidnapped by Pirates. Elizabeth was taken to Captain Barbossa who is under and ancient curse, doomed for eternity to neither live, or die. Unless a blood sacrifice is made. Pirates Of The Caribbean is dark and eventful full of mystery and drama.
Oliver!
Oliver is my favourite Charles dickens books , so how could I not love the musical film's adaptation? Oliver is a classical tale of an Orphan who runs away from an orphanage and meets a young boy who is a trained pickpocket taught by an elderly mentor , who has hooked in a group of boys to train at pickpocketing. This 1968 film is based around the early 18th century, which stars Mark Lester, Ron Moody ,Jack Wild, Oliver reed and Shani Wallis.
The Wizard Of Oz!
This stunning 1939 film stars the wonderful Judy Garland, Who plays the lead role as Dorothy. Caught in a storm Dorothy and her beloved dog Toto some how end in up the magical land of oz, Where she begins her journey to meet the wizard of oz , who can help her return home. On the way she meets some interesting friends but also comes across a wicked witch. The Wizard Of Oz is a lovely film to watch with the whole family and who cant resit a good sing a long?
How To Marry A Millionaire
Of course I had to included a Marilyn Monroe Film! How to marry a millionaire is my favourite film of Miss Monroe's. She is elegant and a hopeless romantic who is set out to find an eligible millionaire to marry with her two friends played Betty Grable and Lauren Bacall, But finds true love in process. This 1954 film is a definitely a girl's night in film!
White Christmas!
White Christmas... I just adore this 1954 film! This film is perfect to watch around Christmas time. It is a classic and delightful film to watch! White Christmas stars Bing Crosby , Vera-Ellen ( who is my all time favourite dancer) ,Danny kaye and Rosemary Clooney.
South Pacific!
South Pacific is my all time favourite movie from the 1950's. South pacific stars Mitzi Gaynor , Rossano Brazzi ,John Kerr and Ray Walston. The 1958 film is based on a South Pacific island during World War II, love blooms between a young nurse and a secretive Frenchman who's being courted for a dangerous military mission. Which is also a Musical! The South Pacific is upbeat and colourful . I can't resit singing along to the songs.
I am curious to know what your favourite films are ? Leave a comment below, I will be very interested to read what some of your favourites are :)
