I blended Rimmel matte white e/s all over the lid and up to brow with a 239 MAC brush,

then I used Rimmel matt black e/s to cut the crease using a GOSH dupe of the 219 and blended it out with my 217.

Winged out Rimmel black exaggerate liquid liner.

Rimmel white eyeliner on waterline.

lashings of Loreal Voluminous mascara

and finished with a slick of Barry M 101 (Marshmallow) lipstick

Mac Mineralize Eye Shadow - Illusionary Burning Ambition

One word to sum this up?
Gorgeous!
It's huge as well..
The same size as the Grand Duo blushes (of which I brought three, but thats another post!)
I Used it today and I really like how it came out.




I Used MAC Painterly paint pot as a base, Loreal Voluminous mascara, which I'm not
actually that keen on to be honest, and a tiny bit of Rimmel liquid eyeliner.
I Should have spent more time on the eyeliner but I wanted a really quick look
and I didn't really want the shadow to be swamped by tons of black eyeliner.
I'm a huge fan of winged eyeliner and wear it everyday, but I liked the shadow so much
I thought I would take it easy for once.
Underneath the eye I just smudged a bit of MAC Teddy eye kohl with my finger.


pretty pretty!

Everyday Make Up

As I am such a kind and thoughtful person I Thought I would show you lovely lot how I wear my make up everyday!
what a fabulous treat for you all. :P

Regarde...

My everyday make up when I only have about 15 mins to get my face on.
I like to have 40 minutes to do my make up but this is not always practical apparently.

Sorry these pics are not very ..er facey
but I was taking some for facebook and thought I would pop them on here.

Eye eye! Har har! Why yes of course these are my real lashes.
*cough cough splutter*
ahem.

The ultra observant among you may have noticed that I always have a block fringe (had this babbeh for 4 years aint nothing coming 'tween us ya'll) and in the above photos I don't.
Well, I've been wearing extensions for years and have loads of old ones lying about so I decided to clip some into my fringe et voi la! A whole new look.
what do you think?

Full list of what I am wearing can be done if you wish but it's 4:36 am and I should be in bed snoozing instead of up, wearing false lashes and taking photos of myself.

I might edit this tomorrow night and put what I'm wearing.

So long, fair well, goodnight.

I was in Asda the other day picking up the household essentials when the Shampoo and Cosmetics isle got me in its tractor beam and dragged me in against my will.

Ahem.

As I am saving up for lots of lovely faux French Regency style furniture (much to the bfs horror) for when we find a nice flat I am trying not to buy anything that I have not convinced myself I absolutely have to have..

I was looking at the stick on false nails because I prefer them to acrylics as they make my nails die and I have realllyyy weak nails and I like that my real nails can grow under falsies...
Anyway I digress from le point, which is I saw this underneath them.


I only noticed it because of the huge £1 sticker on it. ONE POUND!
So I thought to myself well, if it's rubbish It's only a squid and I can have some fun playing around with it the chuck it, But it's actually really nice!


The three grey colours match really nicely and the eyeshadow is very pigmented and soft and it blends really well too! The berry colour does not go with the others at all, but it's a lovely colour and I think I will try and do some looks with it. Well worth a pound!
I used the three grays, lightest in inner corner, middle in er the middle and the darkest one on the outer corner and along the crease with no base and used my GOSH round eyeshadow brush.

Et voila! Smokey eye in seconds!

Finally!

It's 5:51 am and as an extreme insomniac I have decided that NOW is the time to do this haul.
I have had bugger all to do for days then as soon as I decide to start a blog I become insanely busy.
Always the way eh?

Lets get to the good stuffs :)





OPI Nail polish in Elephantastic pink. This was part of the India collection that came out in summer 2008, I realized I needed it as soon as I saw it but never actually got round to getting it. Until now! Thank you ASOS! I was expecting it to be a bubble gum pink and it's actually got a more of and orangey feel to it.. almost coral but not quite. It's really bright, very pretty and goes really well with my new gold bangles!




Barry M Dazzle Dusts. I have not touched anything by Barry M since I was about 13 but I saw these two beauts and could not resist. The one on the left is Fawn 49 and Right is Old Gold 24.
Old gold is a nice MAC Refelcts Glitter Antique gold copy but a lot more subtle with less glitter which is brilliant as I love and wear Antique Gold a bit too much and it will be nice to be able to save it for special occasions.

Fawn on top and Old Gold on bottom.

Barry M Lipstick in 101 Marshmallow. I saw this on the internet took a leap of faith and ordered it before I had seen any swatches/reviews. SO glad I did!
After I had orderd I saw We Are Glitter had said that this is her everyday lippie so I knew once it came I would love it as I have a very similar make up look to hers. Before 101 I was wearing MAC Heatherette lipstick in Fleshpot which is nice but comes out quite orangey which just did not go with my skintone at all.

Urban Decay Afterglow Blush in Quickie.
Love it love it love it. I'm very pale and this is very pink and gives a lovely china doll look.
It's very pigmented but really wearable and flattering.





I am a false lash feind and have ruined my natural lashes by wearing them every day so one of my new years resolutions was to stop wearing falsies and grow my own back out as they are good lashes and I am mean too them.
So this is me cheating at my new years resolution and telling myself that if I only wore one or two at the edge of my lashes it wouldn't count.
Well the glue does not work and it serves me right! I must stay away from the Eyelure ones because I know they will work and I must. not. cheat.




Fawn in inner eye corner and Old gold from half way out with a tiny bit of NARS Ondine in the crease. 101 lipstick. I have worn this every day since I got them, which is nice because I usually go for a much more dramatic eye and this look is so much easier but still pretty.
Please excuse my terrible eye bags but like I said I am a huge insomniac and only ever get around 3/4 hours a night!

It's now 7 am so I'm off to read The Tales Of Beedle The Bard by J.K. Rowling which I got today for £3 something in Asda!

Thank you to my very first follower Kerry1487
