Sinister  Sinister is a lustre lipstick from the Evil Queen Collection. It applies on quite sheer and I think it’s better used with a lip liner and a gloss on top, rather than on it’s own, however it is a lovely shade and seeing as plum lips are trending, it’ll be great for some of us that don’t want to go all out with a deeper plum! Zoom Fast Black Lash I LOVE this Mascara! Here I applied two coats.Easy application, doesn’t clump, and makes my lashes look a bit more volumised. I also really like the formula, it’s not… Read More »

I wanted to try out my new Makeup Store eyeshadow in Sunrise today. It’s probably my new favourite shadow (After MAC’s Amber Lights). It’s a shimmery pigmented Orange that applies very smoothly onto the lid. I have it on with a winged eyeliner and defined lashes (Some mascara and falsies). I also used it as a blush for my cheeks!  What I have on the rest of my face: MACs MSF Natural TBS Bronzer YSL’s Golden Gloss No. 30 While rummaging through my nail polish drawer, I found an old favourite of mine, Rimmel’s 60 Seconds Nail varnish in sunrise,… Read More »

Whenever I want to invest in a new hair product, I always look for products with moisturising agents, because I believe moisture is the key to keeping my hair healthy.
