Bobble Hat & Smokey Eyes

13th October 2012 : Beauty : Make-up

So, I thought i’d start this post with a little apology. I have been somewhat MIA, and although this may have been a slight annoyance for you lovely lot (or not, depending on how much you like to read my blog..haha) but it has been a positive time away for me. A battery re-charge shall we say! After my last post on “Just saying YES”, I took my own advice and started doing lot’s more things. Things i’d always been a bit scared to do, meeting up with old friends, making new ones and banishing my anxiety, as it had got quite bad. I also had somewhat of a mental block on the blogpost front. You know sometimes when you sit with a blank page/screen and you just don’t know what to write? Yeh, that. FEAR NOT though, I have returned, with a much brighter outlook on life and feeling much more positive about certain aspects of my life. I was also extremely overwhelmed by the HUGE positive response I received from THIS blogpost. That is the whole reason I love blogging, being able to reach out to lot’s of people and help in some way, even if it’s just a teeny bit. 

So, whilst away from my laptop, I started to get into the habit of doing my makeup a bit more. Feeling a bit “meh” in general, meant I stopped doing creative things with my makeup or even making the effort to do it most days. However, I have started spending more time on it, and I found my beloved “Mekong” eyeshadow by NARS in the back of my makeup draw, and since then I have been having a full on love-affair with it. I have been applying it all over the lid and smoking it out with a blending brush, then applying my eyeliner for a more edgy, smokey look. I haven’t been doing it every day, as it is quite full on, and doesn’t pair too well with my beloved bold lip, but I feel like it makes my eyes stand out a little more. Mekong is a deep brown, with flecks of gold sparkle in it. Being a Nars eyeshadow, it’s highly pigmented and will probably last me millions of years. I highly, highly recommend it! If any of you are also interested in which lipstick I am wearing, it’s “Desert” by Topshop. 

Another thing I have been loving is bobble hats. This one in particular is from Topshop. Being small-headed (a pea head..ehem), I didn’t ever think they would really suit me, or fit me properly, but I actually quite like them. I also like that they can hide bad hair days, or dress up an outfit AND keep your ears and head warm (it’s main purpose). I can see myself wearing hats all of Autumn and Winter.

    Also, I think you should check out the Christmas bobble hats from Primark men-section, you would LOVE them!! <3 :)

    I lovvveeeee the bobble hat! I have the matching scarf so maybe I should purchase the hat so I can be all coordinated :D

  175. Anna

    This is inspiring. Even with your anxiety you still went out and faced fears and did things that you wouldn't usually do. I always call myself a wimp as I never want to do things I'm ensure of. I will NEVER go on the big rollercoasters, I will NEVER go into Haunted Houses. I should really take some of your advice and just say yes. I also, LOVE LOVE LOVE your make-up in this picture. I always go for a smoky eye as I don't like bright/bold lips and this is gorgeous. :D

  176. This hat is lovely.

  178. I just wanted to start of saying I absolutely adore your blog. This comment will probably be really long (sorry!) but yeah! Your bobble hat is so adorable! It goes well with your hair and your t-shirt haha! Your smokey eyes look gorgeous! I especially like looking at your pictures, as you are such a good photographer! I have taken your advice on the 'Just say Yes' post and agreed to go away with my friend, which I am absolutely terrified to do as I get really bad homesick:S I love your enthusiasm and I love going onto YouTube and seeing you've got a new video:)!

  179. I loved your post on 'Just Say Yes' so much- Congrats on doing all that new stuff, glad you enjoyed it :) My mum always gets so protective in Autumn/ Winter time because I get so ill all the time and is currently persuading me to buy a hat 'to keep my ears and head warm' and all I can say is that she loves you for convincing me that hats can look good, thus being 'wearable'( Is that a word? Probably not..) I'm just glad that there's no more nagging! haha, enjoy your hat! xx

  206. I really love this look Zoe! I always find that I do a Smokey eye or an equally dramatic makeup look and feel overly makeup, but you manage to pull it off in this casual look. I love your blog and YouTube channel and you really inspired me to start my own blog this summer. Anyway, glad to see you posting again!
    Love Emily xx

  210. You are one of the cutest little things I ever did see. So glad you're starting to feel a bit better, anxiety is a persistent little devil, it feels so good when you find the courage to just say yes, even when it's a struggle.

    I love your blog and follow you on Youtube; I wish we were chums.

    If ever you get a spare five minutes & fancy a chuckle, head over to my blog. I'm 54% amusing. Sometimes.

    You look lovely!
    I really like the eyeshadow :) xx

  237. I've been eyeing up the bobble hats on ASOS for a while now..the only thing stopping me is I'm scared I'll look like a wolly.
    You pull it off really well though and the eyeshadow looks amazing.

    Really like the look of you're blog and hope you are well :)

  242. You look really different with smokey eyes, it suits you though! This eyeshadow is beautiful anddd the bobble hat is amazing! Obsessed with that colour <3 I bought a woolly hat last year but a cream floppyish one…that doesn't make sense! Maybe I'll do a post on it when it gets a bit colder…
    Not sure why I'm writing this rambling comment on your blog, but loving how interesting your posts are and hope to read some more soon!

    I'm sorry to intrude or be too forward, but I was wondering if you'd help me. you see, I just started a fashion/makeup/beauty blog (which you helped me build by the by) and I was wondering if you'd check it out and tell me what you think? I jsut want to know if I'm doing things right :)

  270. so i just blogged about a coat i brought this weekend and i think that you might like it?? it is a mens but its very metrosexual (i think that right word?) check it out maybe? xo

  272. I love Bobble hats :) <3

  273. love this look ,you are so pretty! Just wanted to say ,I just watched your tips for blogging on youtube with Louise and thank you so much for that, i started blogging about a month ago, and i always looked up to you and your blog. I love to blog, sounds stupid but i feel happy when i blog ! you are one of the few blogs that i love to read, i enjoy every single post, i love how you put your posts together and i loooove your pictures and your picture quality! you put so much effort in to a blog post , and that's something i love , and that's also something I'm trying to do , i just invested in a DSLR camera, to make my blog and posts look better ! it would mean so much to me if you could take a look at my blog at let me know what you like and what you don't , what's good and what's not , getting advice from you would mean the world to me .. i know a lot of people must ask you that but if you would ever have a couple minutes of time .. please don't forget about me haha !

    Zoe, you are sooooo gorgeous. That hat is amazing, your hair is incredible, your eyes and smile are just beautiful.

  277. Finnie

    I would like to buy this eyeshadow but without a cradit card. There ist no chance for me here in Germany :/

  279. I actually ADORE how you do your make up, Zoella. Some times people use make-up to cover up but I think it just enhances your lovely features! You are one of my FAV beauty blogs ♥

    Adorable little hat. Love the color too; it looks very rich with your eyes and skin tone.

    You defiantly suit bobble hats. I love the colour!

  287. Absolutely love your smoking eye look!(means I need more practice)
    Will have to look into buying this cosmetic.. as the browns suite my blue eyes.
    I love the bobble hats too, as I have a small head these are perfect for me. Unfortunately have not been able to wear them recently, as I cut my hair a few months ago, and I am still waiting for it to grow back long again. (Bobble hats look weird with short hair).

    Cant wait for some more of your blogs. By the way you are so pretty! :)

    love char_beyy xxx

    Thank you! Happy New Year :) x
