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 »

I came across this photo of Kimmie on her website and was instantly inspired to recreate the look. She writes on her website: Post Title ~ Gold Shadows are heavenly I am loving gold eye shadow right now! I think it can be perfect for the day time and then you can add some black eye liner and a darker shadow in the crease of the eye for a night time look. MAC has a great variety of golds! Goldmine eyeshadow is a true-gold color. It’s shimmery and frosty and everything I think gold should be… After reading that and seeing… 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 »

Hint: Click to enlarge! 🙂 I created this look using the eyeshadow quad that was part of the maybelline goody bag we got last week! I absolutely Love it! Smoky Indigo Surprisingly it was quite pigmented and easily blended! The step by step guide that is on the back of the palette is great for those who are not familiar with colour placement and or just starting out with makeup. Brushes used (All Mac) 239 ~ Lid217 ~ Crease & Outer corner275 ~ Brow bone219 ~ Line & deepen lower eye lid224 ~ Blending! I used the L’Oreal super liner, Gosh Blank Ink eye liner and… Read More »

Last Thursday, myself and a bunch of other beauty bloggers made our way down to the L’Oreal HQ in Hammersmith to attend the Maybelline event that was much anticipated by us all (…judging by all the posts, tweets and convos leading up to it! haha!) The afternoon began with me meeting up with Sophie and Zoe. We then went off to Selfridges. The girlies bought some stuff while i just looked around…(Mum and Dad don’t want to see another makeup purchase for a while, as i’m meant to be saving up for Uni!! :/). Anyhoo the window shopping and swatchomania… Read More »

The era of the Baggy off-the-Shoulder top, jumpsuits, leggings and Shoulder pads has rapidly crept into trends of the NOW. Well, I wasn’t alive in the 80’s but my mum was. Having looked through some old photographs of her during that decade…i have noticed many similarities, in the way she dressed, with what i’ve seen around recently. According to mama, that was a fun time for her. Care free and upbeat. She wasn’t afraid to take risks and experiment. I admire her for that. One of my favourite designers at the moment for A/W 2009 is the divine Balmain. The… Read More »

Those who know me, or have heard my rants about why my sister was blessed with the best lashes in the world, and not me, know I have tried almost every mascara under the sky…(I mean except for those ridiculously priced ones. Hey, I’m not rich…yet! ;)) …and so far I have found only a few that do it for my sad excuse of lashes! So i’m going to share these fab finds with you! I use all of them interchangebly (Whichever I grab first) and I don’t have an explicit fave out of the bunch, they all just seem… Read More »
