Face Lace

Last week I was lucky enough to receive a lovely gift pack from a company called ‘Face Lace’, a brand created by Phyllis Cohen. They specialise in creating beautiful intricate adornments to be worn as facial accessories or masks. When I first examined them I assumed that they would be disposable transfers which could only be worn once, but to my pleasant surprise I discovered that they can be kept and worn on a number of occasions! Each ‘face lace’ has a variety of discreet little stickers on the underside which are used to secure the product, and they also come with additional adhesives to enable you to re-use them. I think the best part about these products is how versatile they are – you can use as many as you like to create your own style, not to mention the fact that you could easily customise them with a bit of eyelash adhesive and some rhinestones, or even black liquid eyeliner, so if you’re the creative type then these are just the thing for you.

Barefaced Beauty

Recently I was sent a gift package from the wonderful cosmetic company Barefaced Beauty. Now, as someone who tends to prefer matte beauty products and usually steers clear of sparkles, I’m always quite apprehensive when reviewing shimmery delights, but I was absolutely amazed by the pigmented delicacy of their line. Their mineral shadows consist of a beautiful collection of colours that range from a dazzling sparkle effect, through to a soft essence of glimmer and eventually opaque matte. The blushes, glosses (which smell heavenly by the way) and body shimmers are equally as flattering, all of which emanate rich natural colours while radiating a soft golden glow when exposed to natural light.

Over the years I’ve struggled to find loose powders that offer good coverage without the commitment of feeling like I’m wearing a dry mask, especially when layered over foundation or tinted moisturiser, but the density of their mineral foundation enables you to use it sparingly for a beautifully sheer coverage that feels fresh. It is also capable of being layered without becoming ‘cakey’ if you’re having one of those bad blemish days. The icing on the cake (pun intended) is that they are alcohol-free, chemical-free and dye free, not to mention the fact that their entire range is Leaping Bunny approved and vegan friendly!

Hi Felice! I have long thin arms, a small wrist, a large hand and long fingers kind of like you. I mostly just stare at my alien-like arm, but lately I’ve found myself acting like a dinosaur. Do you ever find yourself pulling Velociraptor gestures with your hands?

Asked by Arial

Oh my gosh, yes! Impersonating dinosaurs is literally one of my favorite pass-times. This pretty much accurately represents my life.

Hi Felice! You’re a wonderful fashion inspiration to me; I love your ability to make sexy so classy and monochrome so full of variety. I saw your post on lace bodysuits and corsets. Where do you recommend buying corsets? Do you have any corset-buying or wearing tips to share? Thanks!

Asked by Casca Sinclaire

Hello lovely! I’m hopefully going to be doing some blog posts about my favorite corsets in the near future. My favorite company at the moment is ‘What Katie Did’. They have an absolutely beautiful collection, very diverse too, and the style of their brand is incredibly flattering. I will admit that they are quite pricey, but you’ll be investing in a product that lasts a lifetime and gives you an indescribable sense of femininity and sex appeal. Many cheap corsets that I own tend to be quite boxy and just don’t invoke the ‘love thyself’ element that the more expensive brands offer, so just remember that you tend to get what you pay for!

You are one of the most powerful, inspiring people I have ever come across. Back when I was in a dark place your words held me through my shattered reality. Today, strong, happy, and hopeful coming to your blog still makes me feel the reality of dealing with the turmoil drowning oneself. So beautiful, raw, and exquisite, I have a kinship to those whom you have also helped. Thank you Felice. For being there for strangers on the internet when nobody else was. You don’t know me, probably never will but I’ll carry your name on a throne in my heart forever. To you and everybody struggling to hold on; may your pain heal, your heart forgive, and a friend be there for you. Whether music, a flower, sunshine, or a stranger, if we open our eyes there is light even in the darkest times.

This message completely brightened my day. Thank you for your kindness and for being so thoughtful, I’m beyond flattered. I only wish I knew who you were. As a side note, your writing style is beautiful and incredibly eloquent. You should consider doing something with a talent like that. Sending all my love.

Hello Felice :) I’ve been considering buying some circle lenses recently but I’m pretty nervous. I’ve never worn any kind of contact lens before and I’m wondering what they’ll feel like, and also how long they’re supposed to be worn for. What are the best shops for these do you reckon? And just general information on them please. Thank you so much, I hope you’re able to answer as I haven’t been lucky in getting straight forward or honest answers. :)

Asked by Anonymous

Hi there! My best advice is to be aware of the water content/percentage and thickness when choosing the lenses you want to buy. The higher the water content, the more comfortable they are and the longer you can tend wear them for, but be aware that this can cause dehydration of the eyes which does lead to irritation, so it’s all about finding a balance really. Some people’s eyes are more sensitive than others. I wear my lenses happily for periods of up to an entire day, but I have friends who can’t handle more than 4 or 5 hours. Generally speaking, I’ve not had any problems with them, but it’s common sense to give them a rest every now and then. I will admit that the first time I ever wore circle lenses was a very uncomfortable experience, (I remember walking into walls with tears streaming down my face), so you do need to expect discomfort when you first start wearing them, but I can guarantee that if you commit to putting them in for a short period of time other day, you do get used to them, and after a while you shouldn’t have any problems at all. (You never know, you might be one of those lucky people who is fine with them on your first try!) I barely even notice I’m wearing them nowadays. This link should be useful, and it’s a good website to shop at also: http://www.eyecandys.com/tips-trends/ I hope you find what you’re looking for, good luck lovely! :)

Who are your heroes? What do they do, and why are they your heroes?

Asked by Anonymous

My father, because he has supported me endlessly and I wouldn’t be here today without him. My best friend Maja, for the same reasons. Christopher Hitchens, for his intellect and his courage to openly, eloquently and aggressively criticise subjects which the majority of people are too cowardice to recognise, confront or accept. The three horsemen (Dan Dennett, Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins) for similar reasons. Neil DeGrasse Tyson, for his intelligence, moral values and character. Stephen Fry, for his mind, strength, honesty, compassion and intellect. Cameron Russell, after seeing her presentation on TED. Princess Dianna: Nothing really needs to be said here. Joanna Lumley, for her ethics and general personality. There are many others, but I’d be here forever!

  • Kase

    Hey Felice, I’m a huge fan of yours. You are so beautiful and I was wondering if you come to London often? And when /if you do where abouts do you stay? I’d love to meet you sometime! X

    • felicefawn

      Awr love thank you so much! I don’t travel to London too often but there’s a chance I’ll be there more come summer. It depends entirely on why I’m visiting really! If I do go there I always tweet about it and I love meeting my followers so I’d be more than happy to say hello. :3 xo

Hey Felice, I read somewhere that models should never smoke or drink (I think they meant publicly, but it was pretty much saying it was a total no go), or they will not be desired as a model, pretty much as a whole I got a “don’t damage the goods” vibe. I just wondered what your opinion was, as a model who does smoke and drink, but is in fact beautiful and successful?

Asked by Sukomi

Hey hun. Well gosh, thank you. Most agencies and companies who hire models do prefer it if they don’t smoke or drink, and to be honest it’s a very reasonable and logical expectation. As a model you’re expected to be a canvas, and of course smoking and drinking has been proven to cause premature ageing among other things, not to mention the obvious implications of alcohol consumption when models also often represent a brand. I’ve always been a freelance model, it’s never really been a career for me but rather a professional/paid hobby of sorts I guess, so my personal lifestyle choices don’t affect any third parties. I have to be my own boss to be happy, it’s always been that way. I’m a very firm believer in equality and the notion that we should all be able to chose what we do with our own bodies, but ultimately, when you become a professional agency represented model, that in itself is a choice, so I think the ‘unwritten law’ is pretty reasonable.

Hi Felice! I am a college student in the US and I am currently writing a paper on Vodou. I know that you are extremely interested in that topic and I was hoping you could give me some links to aid me in my research! If you could post some links that would be great, thank you so much!

Asked by Lydia

You should consider reading ‘The Spirits and the Law: Vodou and Power in Haiti’ by Kate Ramsey. :) Good luck lovely!

I love what you’ve done in terms of a very professional re-branding of your site and for yourself as well with this new direction for your website and blog. Very clever to move here from Tumblr and control the types of interactions you can have with your visitors, fans, and members of your website – I think this will elevate your online presence in a serious way! Amazing work, Felice! I hope you’ll get a tonne of amazing sponsorships and partnerships as well!

Asked by Alice

Hi there Alice, thank you so much! I really appreciate the feedback and your support. Big hugs!

Hey lovely, just a quick question! When are you going to be making a new make-up video of yourself? Just because the Barry M looks absolutely amazing on you :) I shall be buying some of the Dazzle Dust myself, they have a lovely range of colours! :)

Asked by Danielle

Hello! Thank you! I’m really glad you enjoy the products! I’m unsure about videos yet, but I’ll certainly be doing written tutorials and guides with step-by-step images. Videos tend to condense blog posts a little too much for my liking, as I like to make content more presentable and extensive for my readers, but it’s certainly something I’ll consider and probably at least try in the near future. :)

Hi Felice, my name is Anna, I’m from Russia. I am sorry for possible mistakes in my grammar. I have no specific question to you, I only want to tell that about your history your creativity I learned recently. And I admire you. I can tell with confidence that you inspire many girls on changes. These changes aren’t connected with causing any harm to. They are directed on improvement of. Thanks. You too inspired me. I want to wish you all the best. From Russia with love. <3

Dearest Felice, I have followed you throughout a couple of years, asked you several questions – most of them which have been answered. I believe that it is time that I pay my respects and thanks: I really do think that you deserve the deepest of admiration for being such a strong, kind-hearted and wonderfully intelligent individual. Not in regards to your struggle with mental illnesses (not that I do not see and recognise the immense strength and fight that takes) but in regards to your personality beyond your illness. I have rarely seen an individual who acts out of so much love for people in general, who spends hours answering questions for the sole sake of helping, and who is so inviting to all those who feels lost. You are truly an inspiration to what kind of person I continuously aspire to be, and I am thankful for you being one of the “rocks” who keeps my faith in the goodness of humanity. Thank you, you crazy, sarcastic, wonderful person!

Asked by Laerke

Wow, I am beyond humbled. This genuinely made my heart swell and sent a little pulse of emotion through me, which is rare when it comes to messages, given the amount I receive. I have nothing but the sincerest appreciation for my followers and those who support me, especially those like yourself who have done so for such a long period of time. Thank you, so much, you amazing, lovely, thoughtful person! If I could give you a hug right now, I most certainly would. I hope you’re having a wonderful day.
