Megan Fox inspired burgundy/plum lip!



Couldn't QUITE get her gorgeous bronzed skin.. There is only so much Hoola can do.

Lips

The colour came out totally wrong on the photos, in real life it's much more
purpley and more like Megan's.
PLEASE excuse the planet sized spot on my chin, as you know
I've been under a lot of stress recently and that always makes me brake out..
Yeah cheers for that universe.
Megan's top lip it quite rounded where as mine is like two pointy triangles so I just smoothed it over my cupids bow.

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
and Carmex lip balm
added some Girls Aloud sarah lashes
Et voila!

I <3 Marrakesh

Meet the Stila Eye Shadow Quad in Marrakesh and Nars lipgloss in Frisky Summer.

I LOVE the chocolate colour on the bottom right, it's gorgeous.


Frisky summer!
Flash

No flash
I'd say the colour was closer to the non flash photo, but a little less dark.

Brow set in Show off


209 Brush + Fluidline = Amazing!
As I wear black eyeliner everyday and have so far been very loyal to my
Rimmel Exaggerate liquid liner and not found anything that I like using as much
I decided that I must move with the times and get funky with gel.
I did and I love it!


I was very tempted by Henna, Femme fi, Knight, Top knot and 100 Strokes
but they all looked like some Urban Decay ones I already have so I didn't bother.

Attack of the Stila Lip Glaze

Confession.

I have a lipgloss.
I love this lipgloss.
This lipgloss has to be my secret friend..

This lipgloss is a complete embarrassment.


Meet Stila LipPolish in Glimmer.
I have had this gloss for many years and it should most definitely be in the bin.
It's been completely chewed up by my dog when she was teething, all its original packaging and labeling is long gone and I'm pretty sure it passed it's sell by date 80 years ago but I just can't bring myself to get rid!
Mainly because Stila no longer does this colour and it's an outrage.
So I refuse to bin and sneakily apply when no one is watching so I don't get horrified "What on earth is that grimey stick you are rubbing on yourself!?" looks from the general public and just "why is she sticking her whole head in her handbag?" ones that I can deal with.

Bad, Bad dog!


I did try and solve this problem a week or so ago when I found I had not spent all of my Christmas money. Hurrah!
I decided that I would get some more Stila lip products as I'm a sucker for the packaging.
I ended up not being able to decide what to get but was saved by The Gift Of Glaze gift set which was on sale for 18 of your english squddlies.

Behold the mini miracles!
L-R: Gumdrop, Grape Fruit, Apricot, Vanilla, Raisin and Brown Sugar.

What I love so much about these mini glazes is not only are they perfect for someone who over stuffs their make up bag and therefore handbag with everything they could possibly ever need in any situation "Just in case" and ends up with sholder ache and having to hear many hilarious "You carrying bricks around in that thing?" jokes like me..But they smell delicious too!
Each one smells of it's name.
My fave is Grape Fruit. YUM.


Very Top: Banana. Please ignore..will come to this one in a second.
L-R: Gumdrop, Grape Fruit, Apricot, Vanilla,
L-R Bottom: Raisin and Brown Sugar.
Enlarge for sparkle.



I Also brought this full size Lip Glaze in Banana.
Smells extreamly bananaish and looks the colour of mashed banana that has been left too long and has gone a bit browny.. which sounds absolutly disgusting but is actually really lovely!
Very pinky nude and vair naicee.




Hooray for lip gloss! Hooray for gift sets!

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
