“Summer makeup must be breathable and not heavy.” I remember reading this somewhere, perhaps on another blog, a tweet or a magazine, can’t quite remember, but it stuck with me! I actually agree, summer makeup should be breathable! As the weather has become increasingly hotter over the past few days, i’ve just found it a lot easier to go with little or no makeup! A swipe of eyeliner, a tad of mascara and Carmex for my lips has been my routine!  I’m still on the hunt and testing out a few products, to come up with a good summer makeup routine,… Read More »

…and blue. 🙂 I’m sporting Sleek’s True Colour Lipstick in Fuchsia.  I just love this lipstick. The moisturising texture, beautiful pink shade and the way it looks on. My cheeks were adorned with a hint of Plum Foolery by MAC, and to add a bit of character to my wing, I swept a bit of a blue glitter eye liner on it (Sleek’s Carribean). Fuchsia Lippy – £3.69 Blue Glitter Liner – £3.69Plum Foolery Blush – £16.50 I didn’t feel like braving the cold bare chested today, so I wore a scarf …my blue Arabic scarf that I purchased on Oxford Street… Read More »

Coral Polish.

Coral Polish, Eyeko. (£3.50) Recently, I was approached by Eyeko, kindly asking if i’d like to try out some of their new products. I accepted to do so …what would I lose right? Coral Polish was one of the products I received. It’s darker than most other Corals i’ve seen. It is a lovely colour, however it was a bit of a mish applying it. I found that the formula was too thick (…probably why it took ages to dry!) and the brush was quite flimsy. I did soldier on and the result was good.  Here I applied Two coats… My Ratings: (5★… Read More »

Face of the Day/Night! :)

BEAUTY, PHOTO DIARY
May 12 2010

I opted for one of my usual everyday looks today! I kept my face fairly neutral. I applied my foundation all over my face with my stippling brush (MACs Studio Fix & 187), powdered it with MACs MSF in Dark and blended it in with a big Kabuki (Illamasqua’s Body Kabuki), then I brushed on a peach blush (MACs Peaches.) A pop of gold eyeshadow on my lids (MACs Goldmine), a tan eye shadow in the crease (MACs Texture) and on the outer corners, a dark Matte Brown eyeshadow (Sleek’s Storm palette). I followed by lining my upper lash line with a black liquid eye liner (L’Oreal’s Superliner), and… Read More »

oOoO! Such a Girlie colour! Hehe! Barbie Nailed Polish, Sleek Makeup. (£2.99) At the Sleek Makeup Event, I was instantly drawn to the Nail Varnishes they had on display, and I remember I and a few other bloggers went swatch-o-manic! Haha! The colours of the varnishes were very vibrant, and I was so happy to find that I recieved some in my Goody Bag! Barbie was one of them. I applied two coats of it today. The colour is beautiful, and it was easy to apply and at a bargain price of only 3 quid, you can’t go wrong! My… Read More »

I love my Madre. It’s so nice to be with her and talk about everything! I did her makeup today! All the colours on her eyes are from the Sleek Bohemian Palette. Her cheeks were lightly bronzed/blushed (MACs Format Blush) and her lips were coated with a soft shimmery lippy (17 Honey Blossom) and a Coral Lipgloss (MACs Lychee Luxe) over it! She looks Beautiful, don’t you agree? 😀 Would you like a tutorial for this look? 🙂 …xx
