BEAUTY

So i’ve finally given in and tried out my Make-up brushes that I recieved as a gift from my lovely housemate!  Would you believe me if I told you, I stared at the beautiful white bristles for ages before i took the plunge, and used it?? Haha, Sad I know! I did a little research and discovered that they were actually part of the Holiday Gift Range that Tesco brought out late last year, and they were on sale for only £6! Now that is awesome, given that these brushes are of very good quality! The set comes with Six… Read More »

One of my favourite bloggers Zoe recently hit the 2000 follower mark. Congratulations girlie! 😀 To celebrate she is having a Diamond themed contest and this is my entry for it. I find diamonds to be very glamourous and when I think of them , I think Sparkly and girly, so I created this look based on that. Make-up Breakdown Eyes I primed my eyes with Too Face Shadow Insurance as usual. I then followed by basing the lid with a greyish/black shadestick (MACs Sharksin). Using a flat shading brush, a matte purple eyeshadow (MACs Shadow lady) was applied all… Read More »

I was inspired by Rai’s gorgeous Holiday Inspired Look and so I wanted to re-create it using products I have. (…but honestly, i would love to get my hands on some Nyx! lol.) I used my sleek sunset palette to do just that. 😀 The gold from the pallette was swept across the lid and the cranberry red was blended into the crease. My upper eye-lid was lined with a black liquid liner and using a black kohl pencil, i lined and tight-lined my eyes, popped some falsies (£land falsies!) to finish off the look. I’m so happy with the… Read More »

Ever since I saw her rocking this eye makeup look (Bright eye liner or Shadow on the lower lash line) i’d wanted to try it out. I think it’s a cool way of doing your eye-makeup and it doesn’t require any special skill whatsoever! Here she is with a blueey green. Here she took it to another level with the hot pink. The red here is a lot edgier but still elegant. In all the photo’s i’ve come across of her, she usually has a nude or soft orangey-gold eye lid and a very thin line of black liquid liner.… Read More »

After posting the Beauty Babble ~ MK Signature Eye Primer Video, I got quite a few comments and messages from people saying they really liked my make up look.   So, I re-created it today. It is a very rich mossy green look that can be easily emulated, just find some greens you have and play around with them.   It’s a great look for Autumn. 🙂     Here’s a list of products i used: Eyes Too Faced Shadow Insurance MAC e/s in Humid Barry M Dazzle Dust 79 L’Oreal Super Liner Maybelline Colossal Mascara Gosh eye kohl in Black Ink… Read More »

Edit: 3 days later…chip chip chippidy chip! Oh Em Gee! I love this nail varnish! It’s the Maybelline Forever Strong in Midngiht blue! More Blue! hehe Base Coat & Top Coat ~ Wet’n’Wild One Coat of midnight blue  I find that this colour is not as rude as black nail varnish. It is still as edgy, but with a bit more class, i think. Apart from the strikingly beautiful colour, the texture is also very brilliant! I was able to apply it very easily, no mess no fuss. It does say on the packaging that it lasts up to 7… Read More »
