Velvet Lashes

The next shade I tried was the Metallic Pomegranate, seen here on the left. This shade reminded me of the MAC Cranberry eyeshadow, it had a cranberry tone with a metallic shade, truly beautiful! As above this was used under an eyeshadow, it glistened through and lasted all day without creasing. I was so impressed that I now have a wishlist to get more colours!


Have you tried these? If so what did you think? I am hooked!

MAC Swiss Chocolate Eyeshadow

Hey Loveys!

Heres a quick 10 minute tutorial for an Easter makeup look.

Step 1:

I applied Rimmel Wake Me up Foundation with my Real Techniques Stippling brush. MAC Select Cover Up for blemishes and as my eye base and bags!

Step 2:

Using my Vivo Unprotected palette, I used Forever as the base, with my MUA Shade 30- Pearl in my crease and in the centre of my lid. Finally from the Vivo palette I used Free on the edge an crease. As a highlighter on my brow bone I used my MAC Belightful Pressed Powder.

Step 3:

I used my Maybelline Gel Liner on my upper and lower lash line smudging it with my finger to create a smokey look on my lower lash line.

Step 4:

For lushcious lashes I used MeMeMe Fatcat mascara as a base and then Benefit They're Real mascara to add final va va voom!

Step 5:

For my eyebrows I used my Benefit Browzings. Filling in any gaps and defining them.

Step 6:

For contouring and bronzer I used my Sleek Face Form Palette, will do a review asap! For a flush of colour I used my N07 Natural Blush in Candy Pink.

Step 7:

For my lips I pressed on my cupids bow some of my MAC Belightful Pressed Powder to highlight with some Balmi Lipbalm for a natural lip.

Hope you like the look!

Hello Loveys!

I was invited to attend the Benefit Bloggers Event! How excited was I?! I attended with some gorgeous bloggers I knew from the bbmeet and was so excited to see what Benefit had to offer and to catch up with the lovely ladies!
We arrived at 6pm and was greeted with a gorgeous table full of treats, pink decorations and a glass of pink lemonade! I felt like I was at a princess party! Loved it! The Benefit ladies were so lovely and showed us a demonstration on the new palettes "World Famous Neutrals!" They are so pretty, each beautifully packaged box contains four matte eyeshadows and two cream eyeshadows. The box also has a mirror and how to style fold out leaflet! They come in three various shades "Easiest nudes ever soft flattering eyeshadows", "Sexiest nudes ever dramatic, daring eyeshadows" and "Most glamorous nudes ever, rich, illuminating eyeshadows". They are well pigmented and are such pretty shades that would look great day or night. Each palette kit is £23.50.

We then had a quiz, where I learnt that Benetit was the first product launched because a lady who was a dancer wanted colour for her nipples!we won a lipgloss each, I won Coralista! A peachy shade. We then had a raffle where Sasha won a bag of treats and then were treated to a nose around Boots! I loved this event, it was laid back, informative and exciting!! Thanks for the invite ladies!

Hello Loveys! So christmas is round the corner and then bam its new year! The end of 2012! What a year it has been for me, I will do a seperate post on my year, but in the meantime here is a makeup look that would be great for the new year!

1. Apply your moisturiser, foundation and concealor. I used Aldi Lacura Moisturiser, Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation and MAC Select Cover Up to cover blemishes and for my eye area.
2. Apply a purple shade such as the purple shade in my Sleek Dar Mattes Palette all over and the at a V shape towards the edge of your eye area, then taking a turquoise shade like the one in the Sleek palette apply a line on your lower lash line and blend.
3. Apply eye liner on your lid, I used Maybelline gel liner.
4. Apply a turquoise glitter eye liner such as MAC Peacock liner on your lower lash line.
5. Apply lashings of mascara.
6. Apply a highlighter such as MAC Belightful Pressed Powder to the brow bone.
7. Finish with a pink lipgloss.

What do you all think? Its a shame that my camera didnt pick up the glitter or intensity of the colours as it is a bright colourful look.

Happy christmas!!! Xxxx

As the days become chilly so is the time passing closer to christmas day! We frantically hurry to prepare for the big day, buying presents, wrapping the goodies and drinking mulled wine by the gallon! I love the sparkle of christmas day, dressing up and having glamourous makeup! I thought I would share my look with you all. I will be teaming gold smokey eyes with glossy red lips, so here is how to achieve this look.

1. Apply your moisturiser and using a foundation brush, I used Real Techniques Stippling Brush, apply the foundation.
2. Then my MAC Select Cover Up was dotted all over my eyelids,under my eye area and on any blemishes and blended.
3. I applied a dusting of the Barry M Dust in shade Gold all over my lid and crease area. Then with a smaller brush I applied "Free" a VIVO shade from the Unprotected Palette which is a stunning palette available online or from Tesco, this palette has been named as the dupe for the famous Urban Decay Naked Palette. This shade was applied in my crease line and to the edge of my eye area and then blended.
