Life According to Instagram ~ FOTDs & more!

Hello!
Recently I've been instagraming a lot. It's like an easy, quick kind of mini blog where I can take a crappy selfie of any make up I've done quickly before I go out, as well as just giving little updates about purchases or if my cats do something cute. I'm still getting back into the swing of things and my uni work is not making this easier; I've had a 2500 word essay followed by a 6000 half dissertation, of which the deadline is three days after I start uni again, and this term is 5 days a week, so I'm going to be pretty busy.
I thought I would follow the example of other bloggers I follow and post a few highlights from my recent Instagram uploads - if you guys are interested in this being a regular occurrence, let me know!

Sales Shopping Haul ~ Beauty & Fashion!

It's time for a pretty damn big haul. This stuff has been bought over a couple of months, although the bulk of it was during the post-Christmas and then post-New Year's Eve sales. I've actually bought a few things I've never tried before, it's kind of exciting, trying new stuff! Of course there are always a lot of things I order and then send back due to being ill fitting, or bad quality, so really this list isn't even everything I received...sometimes it's half tempting to take photos before I send them back to show you guys but I decided that even I am not that sad (yet...give it time).

Boots
Some of these are essentials I had been running out of, but I think it's fun to see the every day things people buy as well...including a little treat from the half price gifts sale, which always has such awesome deals! And I had to purchase my own hair wax to cater for my new hair cut!
ê Batiste Dry Shampoo, £2.99
ê Be Enchanted makeup box, £8 (reduced from £16)
ê V05 texturising gum, £1,89
ê Nail varnish remover, £1.30
ê face wipes, £3 for three packets

Feelunique.com
All bought with part of the voucher I won from Beauty's Bad Habit giveaway. I've decided 2014 will be the year I play around with blusher. Who knows maybe by 2015 I'll be onto contouring as well. Decided to treat myself to some new makeup brushes but unfortunately the set I wanted was out of stock by the time I decided which one I wanted, so for now I just got a Real Techniques Stippling Brush and when it's back in stock I'll be doing for the eye set as well. The Tangle Teezer is for using on my super long hair wigs, I've heard nothing but good things.
L'Oréal Paris Post Party Beauty S.O.S., £6.50 (reduced from £10)

Coscraft
Legit bargain! Plus from a UK seller, which I am a fan of. I thought this style was really unique, so I just couldn't help myself! I definitely a fan of shorter wigs - so much easier to wear out and about.
ê Fashion wig Betty in mixed blue, £11.90 (reduced from £17)

Topshop
I also ordered some adorable cut out flats but unfortunately they were out of stock by the time they sent out my order. So guuutteeddd. But this however is ridiculously cute and has satisfied what feels like my life long search for a good bralet. Good job me/Topshop!
ê Velvet bralet, £18 (reduced from £30)

Primark
Ah Primark, genuinely so fond of you. My old pair of glasses broke so the men's section served me well. I am also so in love with that hat! I wear it all this time and so much cheaper than the Topshop or Urban Outfitters alternative that are around £25. Also I wish I had found the Disney Little Mermaid t-shirt I've seen about, but this Alice one is just as cute!
ê Fake glasses, £2
ê Roll brim hat, £8
ê Disney Alice in Wonderland top, £8
ê Corduroy skater skirt, £8

Others
H&M & New Look
Inspired by a few gorgeous looks I saw last year I got these flowers to put on either side of my head with my wigs. I'm sure I'll be putting a look of it up soon once I've done some playing around. I don't usually go for anything light pink, but I must really have the pastel bug pretty bad at the moment. I never wear earrings because they don't suit me and yet I still wouldn't resist these two from the super cheap New Look sales.
ê Hair flowers, £1.99 each
ê Star earrings, £1 (reduced from £2.99)
ê Reverse triangle earrings, £1 (reduced from £3.99)

Face of the Day ~ champagne supernova.

Oh my! A face of the day? A face of the day!? When was the last time I did one of these?? (the answer is: ages). But just as I was running out of the door on New Year's Eve (about half an hour late...or more) I took a couple of quick snaps. I thought I would pop this up whilst I take a break from my dissertation writing (6000 words, here I come)! The make up was a little bit rushed because as ever, I am a terrible judge of timing. Perhaps not the best lighting or composition either, in fact we could say these were both pretty sub-optimal. Either way! I quite like the art deco-esque sun thing under my eye, and I am increasingly becoming a fan of fuchsia pink as a colour, something about it is really refreshing to my eyes. And I'm enjoying decorating my décolletage as well - this time using star stencils and glitter.
I should really take more photos at the moment, especially since I'm doing way more make up looks recently. For a sampling of that, take a look at my Instagram (@L_Figment)! More posts coming soon, including my Christmas/January sales haul!
If any of you guys did anything fancy for New Year's, show me!

Face
Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in Light Porcelain
(mixed with) Illamasqua Rich Liquid Foundation in RF133

Tis The Season ~ To Make Cards.

Every Christmas I like to make my own cards, I think it's a nice additional present and plus I find it kind of fun...who doesn't like messing around with glitter? I haven't had as much of a chance to make them this year as I usually do, so there's only a limited selection this time. For previous years, you can look here and here.
Anyone else like making their own cards? I always think mine look a bit like the efforts of a 10 year old but I don't care to look pro.
Also, forewarning: there are some swears involved.

Outfit of the Day ~ candyfloss witch.

 Latex harness ~ VanityCage
Flower ~ H&M
Lace up dress ~ ASOS
Suspender tights ~ Missguided
Creepers ~ New Look
Rhapsody wig ~ Gothic Lolita Wigs
Floral crown ~ handmade by my sweet babe Charley

Look! An outfit! I've finally done an outfit! It's been so long! We have my beautiful friend Charley to thank for that, we went shopping in Brighton the other day and she was awesome enough to take some photos for me. However I did choose an awkward outfit to photograph, I don't know if it's visible on other screens but that dress has a cute little lace up section at the top and tights have a cool cross at the top too. So well done me for that. The lovely lady in Kate & Aud (a really sweet Vintage shop that I frequent, which can be found online here) was kind enough to let us take photos upstairs.
I'm really happy I've finally done an outfit with this wig! It was the first wig I ever bought and it was a bit overwhelming to begin with since it's so big and voluminous but I've gotten used to it now, and it's so pretty! Another thing I hadn't done in a while was my fake piercings - I genuinely love how real they look and since the fact I want to act means I have to minimise any face holes it's the perfect solution. That and I can change my piercings way easier than my legit pierced friends.
And finally I think we should all admire my gorgeous new body harness. I've been searching ages for the perfect one and in the end I contacted Sophie from Vanity Cage and asked her if she could do a custom order for me, which she was more than willing to do - she even sketched ideas for me, which was awesome! I will do another outfit later where you can see what lies underneath (there are two straps that sit under my bust) - I really love it! And I am pleased with my temporary addition of a flower to match my wig.
In terms of life, nothing much new to report. I finish my Christmas temp. job in just over 3 weeks and I have my first half dissertation due in January (although I have to do all my data analysis by Wednesday which is inducing some level of panic in me). I haven't made any Christmas cards yet which sucks! I haven't bought all my presents or wrapped any of the ones I do have, so I'm pretty behind on all aspects of life really. Never fear, I will catch up!
How is everyone finding the winter season? I'm loving all the leaves falling at the moment.
