"Smells Like Teen Spirit" - Impulse Vanilla Kisses

I've been kinderwhoring this weekend, yeah. Taking that inspiration from Courtney Love who mainstreamed the look in the 90s BUT I decided to twist the look and instead of doing that heavy grunge, slept in make-up look and I've not washed my face since my mum did it for me vibe, I went for a cleaner face so to speak and even though I kept it matte, I made it more now by using a highlighter on the top of my cheekbones for a subtle glow.

The babydoll / camisole dresses that the kinderwhore trend revolved around also came into effect but so did the Impulse - Vanilla Kisses bodyspray!!! Body spray was found in nearly every tween/teens bag in the 90s and Impulse was one of the top brands to go for, with such an iconic scent as Vanilla Kisses. I spray it and I'm instantly taken back to the days of spraying the cans in the shop aisle.

You were my perfume before I was even allowed to wear it (not that it stopped me!) Chupa Chups strawberry and cream, anyone?

After a wtf do I do with my hair, it's quite greasy at the moment and in need of a dunk, I took some modern inspiration from Gwen Stefani and did a front twist into one bun and also did a bun at the bottom, it's not a structured bun, more of a loop.

So onto the make-up, up close + personal, I kept some elements of the 90s, the matte face, the taupe and browns. So, here's how you can recreate the look, throw on a choker, your thumb & midi rings and camisoles. Here's a rundown.
