We both opted for brow threading. Now, when I say I'm low maintenance on eyebrow hair management I mean I let them do what they like; this is because they are so blonde I assume the strays can't be seen. As I've since realised that light illuminates all my blonde hairs I thought this would be a good opportunity to get them sorted and I'm glad I did. Considering it was my first professional eyebrow threading experience I didn't do too badly with the pain and the therapist was super quick and very friendly. </div><div>As an introductory offer the store is offering free mini treatments throughout April so you better be quick.</div><div>As well as waxing they offer tinting and lash extensions too. </div><div>The shop has a really nice feel to it and the staff made the event a really nice experience so I highly recommend. </div><div><br></div><div><i>(I need a new memory card for my camera so the quick snaps on my iPhone were all I could manage) </i></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13408560203711717807noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304371857117521471.post-67613672077307871162015-03-29T11:59:00.001-07:002015-03-29T11:59:41.272-07:00Getting Lippy<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_BPKlJ1pvVtFkdqh3Ks0p9d8abe-uAjgF17l2dB1_uBU8IgUk3KDDb3Q9mIgz8pGn-v9K4vPS0fOqqY6lJKRfX2Dsm9MJijPc0gWa0rcp6h8JD6-M4dvmppLZlznwuUnv006jqS9kPw/s640/blogger-image--154354096.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Cw0y1nUcIwreLUYwJPjnC2kfQSJaNNG-f8RrYb9m-kfFFjiMbrnjMI8_h9vZU2gnX2q0LqB75nzKxyJPgxTrqXlQbyZy-8H6lYU2nT2fdbQzH88N-dpfSaeqfgZA-bMO5zqyy7fkzA/s640/blogger-image--1912849043.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Cw0y1nUcIwreLUYwJPjnC2kfQSJaNNG-f8RrYb9m-kfFFjiMbrnjMI8_h9vZU2gnX2q0LqB75nzKxyJPgxTrqXlQbyZy-8H6lYU2nT2fdbQzH88N-dpfSaeqfgZA-bMO5zqyy7fkzA/s640/blogger-image--1912849043.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIZDLWmDraNRtoLI4YSgWD9HErMjWKsJ_MxoGfevwQcGnB3xpdIndNg4iRv594cO1FUZDN-EYNfRE_PevAI2DGsUJqYhs_UPFDt4efhqMPpRMEy6Ek2K87QozjBi5cT_Er1B12UXjoYw/s640/blogger-image-580955640.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIZDLWmDraNRtoLI4YSgWD9HErMjWKsJ_MxoGfevwQcGnB3xpdIndNg4iRv594cO1FUZDN-EYNfRE_PevAI2DGsUJqYhs_UPFDt4efhqMPpRMEy6Ek2K87QozjBi5cT_Er1B12UXjoYw/s640/blogger-image-580955640.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEeBc_TMDVGY6RASehGVcPAyBrhBMnPSPJNjtp9rtI6JrdvpsFoXYoXM50LM26t85QFjhSo9xIYYF478W_TiFz-TcDXlt_KEviS0jgoN3XdzdFQ5KgcJ-TqfFuwgDh1Wagm5GrgK6JMQ/s640/blogger-image--1826645792.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEeBc_TMDVGY6RASehGVcPAyBrhBMnPSPJNjtp9rtI6JrdvpsFoXYoXM50LM26t85QFjhSo9xIYYF478W_TiFz-TcDXlt_KEviS0jgoN3XdzdFQ5KgcJ-TqfFuwgDh1Wagm5GrgK6JMQ/s640/blogger-image--1826645792.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This is a lip combo I've been enjoying lately. I've been pairing it with a brown smokey eye and some light contouring on the skin. I use the pencil all over the lips as a base and put the lighter nude lipstick over the top to make a more natural colour as I find the Pure Zen lipstick on its own can look a little too light for my skin. KIKO is a brand that has had a store in Leeds for a little while now and I've noticed they're launching a store in the Victoria Centre in Nottingham (for you Nottingham dwellers). It's really affordable and has a huge range of products! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Lip liner: KIKO Lip Pencil in 310.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Lipstick: MAC Pure Zen. </div><br></div><br></div><br></div><br></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13408560203711717807noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304371857117521471.post-25884411098575250842015-01-06T10:29:00.001-08:002015-01-06T10:29:42.301-08:00Being Organised<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiELgEn0FXjvsN2VyJghMGmbwEYtDGVxCtk4OJAp-4jjcuCOLowpUxT1SzTvQUvAruW-oY7ZiqE_n8JMOQAO3jlS-XXtdJLEN5xAORVkIautn_NlpatUU6MN44CAixQ15LE2a5u8KLgIA/s640/blogger-image-325177037.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiELgEn0FXjvsN2VyJghMGmbwEYtDGVxCtk4OJAp-4jjcuCOLowpUxT1SzTvQUvAruW-oY7ZiqE_n8JMOQAO3jlS-XXtdJLEN5xAORVkIautn_NlpatUU6MN44CAixQ15LE2a5u8KLgIA/s640/blogger-image-325177037.jpg"></a></div>I received these makeup organisers for Christmas from my mum (thanks mum). They're clear so you can see all your makeup, which is hopefully going to make me use items that I haven't bothered with for a while.

Whoopsie! I thought I should get back on the blogging bandwagon, so, here is my first post in forever. <div><br><div>On a huge whim I decided to dye my hair pink. The Bleach London display in Boots immediately caught my eye and the Rosé colour looked perfect. </div><div><br></div><div>I used gloves to apply (pink hands aren't a good look) and just randomly slapped it on my hair, making sure I massaged it in well. I have quite long hair so I used (pretty much) the whole bottle. Then fifteen minutes later I rinsed it out. My hair was natural blonde before dying it and I have a feeling the colour would work better on bleached hair. It did, however, leave a definite pink wash and I LOVE it! I now want pink hair forever and Bleach London allowed me to try it out before going for something more permanent, as it washes out within 2-10 washes. I would say, be careful to apply it evenly and some parts didn't colour quite as well as others. (I'll know for next time to maybe section my hair properly).</div><div><br></div><div>I'd highly recommend Bleach London hair colours as they are fun for when you're feeling experimental. At £5 it's well worth it and there are so many pretty shades to choose from. Have fun bleaching! </div></div><div><br></div><div>Have you tried any other brands of pretty, colourful hair colours?

I absolutely loved it! <br />
The star product I used were definitely the eye lashes, which were only £2.50 from eBay! Amazing! They're called 'Amazing Shine' and I highly recommend them... Super easy to apply and still looked quite natural!<br />
For the rest of the face I used NARS Sheer Glow foundation, Sleek Au Naturel eyeshadow palette, YSL Touché Éclat, Bourjois Kajal eyeliner, NARS Laguna Bronzer, Illamasqua Gleam and for the lips, MAC Ruby Woo which stayed on all night with only one reapplication! <br />
<br />
It felt quite Hollywood glamour... Hope you liked it! Hope you're having a good weekend, my night is being spent watching The Voice and eating crap! Bikini bodies are overrated anyway...

This is my Grandma's perfume atomiser which still has some of my Grandma's favourite perfume in it, the classic, Chanel No 5.<br />

Here were my favourite products in the month of March, note that one of them is fake tan (well if the sun isn't being kind to us we can at least fake it, right?)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv9y7Rl2KzGkSL9pSAOnDPzEGT-JaooVT97PjrNqxBBw896tGckbYD_OmMmMHI26pL3zTXXdPG_uHrDtWr8nTXhyphenhyphenRSSkTqtLAWddUmct7kyD87e65tpNuF_XY0pyNqri1D7TOKxU1Eow/s1600/IMG_0755.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv9y7Rl2KzGkSL9pSAOnDPzEGT-JaooVT97PjrNqxBBw896tGckbYD_OmMmMHI26pL3zTXXdPG_uHrDtWr8nTXhyphenhyphenRSSkTqtLAWddUmct7kyD87e65tpNuF_XY0pyNqri1D7TOKxU1Eow/s1600/IMG_0755.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u> Eyes:</u></b></div>
<b>Sleek Palette (Storm)</b> - The selection of shades is so versatile for day or night! Been packing this alone for my weekends down in Notts when I stay with friends!<br />
<br />
<b>MAC Eyeshadow (Mulch)</b> - This slight shimmery brown shade is amazing on its own or incorporated into a smokey look over the lid. It can be used to create definition or a sultry soft shimmer. Love.<br />
<br />
<b>L'Oreal False Lash Flutter (Black)</b> - I reviewed this mascara (<a href="http://www.theprettybeautiful.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/loreal-false-lash-flutter.html" target="_blank">here</a>) and fell in love! It separates the lashes perfectly and adds length with no clumps or running! Can't ask for much more in a mascara.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWfS9ubTVuhlZNA7zHGcIQQ-RZ80kO88tL05oMBs1i4D2KnYtfs0jYevvikkqOxe-Zsn6Z71ZZ3X5lWzpYHGWbBKRikJb0Ip8h678scBuzIGcvaLjEtafmPzSGTH3tAT7XzPWeLxOplQ/s1600/IMG_0756.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWfS9ubTVuhlZNA7zHGcIQQ-RZ80kO88tL05oMBs1i4D2KnYtfs0jYevvikkqOxe-Zsn6Z71ZZ3X5lWzpYHGWbBKRikJb0Ip8h678scBuzIGcvaLjEtafmPzSGTH3tAT7XzPWeLxOplQ/s1600/IMG_0756.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Foundation </u></b></div>
<b>No7 Beautifully Matte (Porcelain)</b> - This foundation is perfect for oily skin. I use it more along the centre of the face to mattify my t-zone and leave the rest bare or with some mixed with a moisuriser.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Brows</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Benefit Browzings (Light)</b> - I have had this for nearly a year now and it barely has a dent in it! The combination of the sturdy wax and soft blending powder is perfect for defining brows without the dreaded "scouse brow" effect. I also love the handy tools it comes with; perfect for travelling.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUVFwSYyD_2wCsG-9IMmRWQSTSpu27w6dSOwCgJqV_a1lDdWvctOU1eF5FTgwEl7FMAdaAf6ZvF_87AylV9Yj7JW6cn5J4OanNSOJesggAHSb3TKbGQAbNov3-fl2AYEYYluRmO0AhsQ/s1600/IMG_0757.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUVFwSYyD_2wCsG-9IMmRWQSTSpu27w6dSOwCgJqV_a1lDdWvctOU1eF5FTgwEl7FMAdaAf6ZvF_87AylV9Yj7JW6cn5J4OanNSOJesggAHSb3TKbGQAbNov3-fl2AYEYYluRmO0AhsQ/s1600/IMG_0757.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Countouring</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>NARS Laguna Bronzer</b> - Perfect matte bronzer which is definitely worth its cult status. Beautiful blendable shade for contouring under the cheek bones, temples and sides of the nose (for that extra oomf). Only downside is it is easily smashable (cry).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Illamasqua Highlighter (Gleam)</b> - Again, a popular product, especially amongst bloggers but this cream highlighter blends like a dream and has the perfect shades of sparkle to look gorgeous in any light! Want glowy skin? This is for you!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Illamasqua Under Eye Concealer (White) </b>- I use this under eye concealer for down my nose (so it appears smaller) I only do this really on nights out or for photographs but this product is perfect for this.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Collection Under Eye Concealer (Lightest) </b>- If you don't want to spend half a days wages on a YSL Touche Eclat but still want the effects of it this is your perfect dupe product. At a quarter of the price it is just as good for concealing dark circles.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="text-align: center;"><u>Lips</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Topshop Lipstick (Innocent) </b>- The creamist texture and prettiest nude pinky shade (reviewed <a href="http://www.theprettybeautiful.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/two-topshop-lippies-added-to-collection.html" target="_blank">here</a>). I couldn't love Topshop lipstick more if I tried. I have worn this so much either for a natural day look or for a nude lip with a smokey eye at night.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>MUA Lipstick (Shade 3) </b>- For £1 this pink shade can do no wrong! Long lasting and beautifully pigmented. Products like this make me wonder why some brands can charge SO much for their products!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQO5tcjb6St_j4DrRbkvhVyZxAz8aRwdqO_bJ9a7Uffoqm3eX8AB2AQ29aofkIUFAoBJTkVDSutnAv3q6J2YOiQYUC-hjwVPoG5mIUX6m5217D4mBKLFe2cHi-Ho25ktKkEpEk9A1rHQ/s1600/IMG_0759.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQO5tcjb6St_j4DrRbkvhVyZxAz8aRwdqO_bJ9a7Uffoqm3eX8AB2AQ29aofkIUFAoBJTkVDSutnAv3q6J2YOiQYUC-hjwVPoG5mIUX6m5217D4mBKLFe2cHi-Ho25ktKkEpEk9A1rHQ/s1600/IMG_0759.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Brush</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Real Techniques Buffing Brush (Part of a set also)</b> - I am SUCH a fan of Real Techniques but this has to be my favourite foundation brush recently! It buffs and blends amazingly and feels so soft!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Fragrance</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb</b> - Never mind a March favourite, this perfume is my all time favourite. Try it. I promise you you'll wear nothing but forever.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Tan</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>XEN Tan Gradual Moisturiser Tan (Light/Medium) </b>- A little pricey but smells amazing (vanilla) and gives an amazing colour after just one application even though it is classed as gradual tan.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Tool</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Style IQ Nipple Daisies </b>- I had to include this little helpers. They have saved me from many embarrassing moments with some bra-less clothing in the past chilly month! Try them they are fab!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There you go... my March favourites! A lot of them are my all-year favourites to be honest, I've tried not to ramble too much but hope you enjoy!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Do any of these fall into your March favourites List? Would love to see your thoughts!<br />

Illamasqua rain drops!I have been umming and ahhing over purchasing Illamasqua's "Raindrops" Nail varnish since it first hit the shelves in it's original blue shade.<br />
I finally took the plunge but went for the new "Pink Raindrops" shade as I love a good pink (typical girl).<br />
<br />
My verdict? I LOVE this nail polish so much! At £13.50 it is a tad on the pricey side but it is worth the splurge!!! It is super hard to chip it and has a beautiful almost professional looking finish and the actual shade is the prettiest most beautiful nude pink with a slight shimmer!<br />

I don't know about you but I can't resist a Topshop Lippy!! I love their shades, I think they have some of the best on-trend colours on the cosmetics market!<br />
Here are 2 more I added to my lipstick collection... the packaging isn't as pretty as my Great Grandma's lipstick from the 30s (read blog post <a href="http://www.theprettybeautiful.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/a-little-piece-of-lipstick-history.html" target="_blank">here</a>) but it's still pretty cute!<br />

Uh-oh! Bye pay cheque! One of my purchases was this foundation that I have been intrigued by and have seen many a blog post about....<br />
<br />
This is a gel foundation which promises to give a "flawless complexion and undetectable coverage". I am going to be honest in my review as always and I'm afraid my verdict is a negative one (unlike most blog reviews I have read).<br />
<br />
For me, the coverage wasn't very good, and I found it mostly wore off on my commute to work (albeit it's harsh weather conditions at the minute I still think this foundation falls short especially as it promises to stay on for 16 hours!). As the day progressed the coverage became patchy and quite oily in texture.<br />
<br />
I think this foundation is definitely more suited to dryer skin, as I think the gel/serum base just enhances the pre-existing moisture in the skin.<br />

<br />
This is my Great Grandma's red lipstick that I now amazingly have in my possession! <br />
<br />
The case is some kind of metal and at the top is a gorgeous little jewelled flower! The lipstick comes up by sliding a little lever up and down instead of the modern twist motion! <br />
<br />
The actual lipstick itself is the most beautiful red and I can just imagine my Great Grandma wearing it in around 1930s!<br />
<br />
I don't know the exact history of this lippy as there's no one to ask who would know now! But I thought I'd show you all as I just think it's so beautiful! <br />
<br />
Can you imagine if they made lipsticks like this now?! <br />

<br />
Hope you are all treating your Mummys like Queens today! Just thought I'd do a quick post on what my sister and I got for our Mummy! As well as a ring from Azendi we thought we'd get our Mummy something from Lush (she loves a good relaxing bath when she has time).<br />
<br />
After much deliberation looking at all the choices on the display we decided the <b>Mum Tulip</b> was the perfect purchase for our Mum - it looks so cute in its flower shape. Its meant to be chocolate orange scented however I think its more of a sweet smelling orange scent (can't really identify the chocolate smell in it but nevertheless it is gorgeous!)<br />
<br />
You hold it under the running tap and you can save some for another bath! My Mum has just run her relaxing Mother's Day bath and the smell is amazing, there are lots of bubbles and lots of the tulip left!<br />
<br />
I was so impressed with my shopping experience in Lush. As the queue was quite long, as it was the day before Mother's Day (last minute I know - oops), the lovely bubbly customer assistant shouted to the queue thanking everybody for waiting and also gave us a little freebie!<br />
<br />
<b>Lush Mum Tulip - £5.25</b>.<br />

I found this brush brand on line last week and after seeing the price I did not hesitate to make an order. <b>Crown Brush </b>do lots of sets of brushes but I felt I would benefit better from choosing individual brushes that I lack in my kit. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
These are the brushes I chose. Collectively they cost me £23 including P+P and for seven brushes that is super duper cheap and they took two days to get to me (amazing)!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Overall these brushes are quite good. I'm especially impressed with the <b>Round Angle Blender</b> as it is a good dupe for the Nars one. The <b>Blending Fluff</b> is also a good dupe for the MAC 217. The quality is not as great as the more expensive brands however they are excellent value and are good to have in your kit!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All in all I would recommend you to take a look at their website. </div>

This is my look for a recent night out in Nottingham! I did a Golden Smokey eye and a Nude Lip. I kept the skin fresh and dewy looking with the amazing foundation. I reviewed the foundation, mascara and lipstick in recent posts too so be sure to check them out. I loved this look, I hope you do too!</div>

Just a quick post to tell you guys how thoroughly impressed I was at this face mask from <b>Lush</b>! It has been a long time since I used a face mask (naughty Fi) and my friend Bridie had this one for our super crazy Saturday night (in). It is a powder you mix with water and turns in to a paste. This particular mask promised to exfoliate (which it does when you rub it to wash it off) and to combat oily skin. It absorbs the oil in your skin but to my surprise doesn't leave it dry at all! After following with a light moisturiser from <b>Simple </b>my skin looked and felt radiant and super soft! I would definitely recommend this one girls (and boys).<br />
<br />

I've been hunting a new nude lippy for a while now and I've just come across this beauty from Maybelline. This shade of lippy and lip liner (<b>Color Sensational - Sweet Pink 132</b>) are a perfect shade of pinky nude. Like all Maybelline lipsticks it is lovely to wear as it's moisturising and sheer. The liner and lipstick match together perfectly and I love to use a liner as it helps it last and stops the colour from bleeding. Good one Maybelline, see you again soon for another lippy purchase!<br />
<br />
What do you think? Have you got a fave nude lippy?<br />

This new <b>Pro-base Complexion kit (Ivory)</b> is a 3 in 1 palette containing foundation, concealer and highlighter. They apply smoothly and is a super handy palette to have in your make up kit without having three separate products to store. It comes with a brush and a make up sponge however I wouldn't use them but are good if you're on the go and don't want to have to take all of your brushes with you.</div>

This MUA eye shadow palette in <b>Glitter Ball</b> caught my eye mainly because of the vast variety of colours in it. The MUA eye shadows are always really pigmented and at a very low price you really can't go wrong.<br />

I was excited about this mascara after I saw the new TV advertisement and I wasn't disappointed. The wand is a wing shape which tapers into a fine tip and has fine plastic bristles. It is great at separating and defining the lashes as well as lengthening them. The thinner top of the wand really helps to get in the inner corner of the lashes which great and the wider base ensures the full length of the lash is coated.<br />
I only applied one layer to my lashes (pictured above) but you can build up the coats to add thickness and drama.<br />
This is the first mascara by L'Oreal I have ever purchased but I would definitely buy it again as I can't see anything wrong with it.<br />
<br />

I decided to try out two foundations (I needed a new one anyway so why not get two?) and a BB cream as I've been looking to try one of these hyped up little 'miracle products' since they first hit back on the market.</div>

I was really eager to try this BB cream as it promises to do so much (9 in 1) but I won't be repurchasing it. It is a very thick consistency and takes a lot of effort to work in to the skin. When it is on the skin it feels rather sticky (I think it is the primer element that does this).<br />

It does make you look more natural but in my opinion a BB cream is full of disappointments as you can get beautiful light coverage from a number of foundations on the market now. It also seems to clog to pores and doesn't mattify as promised (I don't know if you can tell from the above swatch on my hand).<br />

Although this foundation is the same shade as the Match Perfection (Ivory) it looks a lot darker in the bottle. Once it is on the skin however it blends beautifully. It is medium thickness for a foundation and the light reflecting particles give a lovely finish.<br />

Match Perfection promises to blend perfectly and to merge to your skin tone. When squeezed on my hand it was a very runny consistency which worried me as I thought the coverage wouldn't be very good.</div>

<br />
When I rubbed it into my hand it did exactly what I had hoped. It matched to my skin perfectly (I guess in this instance you should trust the name) and also gave a lovely soft finish.<br />
<br />
Overall I am really pleased with my purchases. Although the BB cream is not for me I would be open to suggestions of ones that you all like (put any suggestions in a comment below :)) I am really looking forward to using my new foundations more and I'll try to use them in some future posts so you can see them on the face.<br />
<br />
Is Rimmel your go- to drugstore brand for foundation? Let me know!<br />

<br />
We decided to get glittered! Just thought I'd show you how we did our make up! I used the little sequins I got for £1 in the Louise Gray sale items post! They looked so cute! Barry M dazzle dust was also a must! I also did a green/blue smokey eye using Sleek Storm palette and Illamasqua Liquid Metal in Stoic which I also featured in a previous post.<br />
The lipstick is my new fave: Topshop in 'Tease' its the prettiest pink colour. <br />
What do you guys think of this look? PS apologies for the rubbish quality of the pictures and my friend Tamsin and I's glorious funny faces. <br />

I've realised that you probably don't know a lot about me. I think I should change that right now seeing as you read my ramblings!<br />
<br />
Here are some little facts about moi...<br />
<br />
-- Everyone (apart from my mother and weirdly, boyfriends) call me Fi! I like this shorter version of my name, don't know why, just do.<br />
<br />
-- I am a natural blonde and love it (blondes have more fun).<br />
<br />
-- Born and raised in Leeds (go Yorkshire) but lived in Nottingham for a couple of years whilst I attempted uni.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

-- I attempted uni - but have since deferred studies to pursue a career in make up. I went to Nottingham Trent to study Fashion communication and promotion then after a week switched to Law (I know, big leap) then after a year failing that I switched to Psychology and Criminology and that's what I have on hold.<br />
<br />
-- I'm guessing you've twigged that I am REALLY indecisive; I would say that's my biggest character flaw.<br />
<br />
-- Watching Legally Blonde made me want to be a lawyer. (Fickle I know but Elle Woods is amazing).<br />
<br />
-- My Doggy Buster is the cutest thing ever.. he's a little bit chubby but hey he likes his food... who doesn't!?<br />
<br />
-- I think puppies are cuter than babies.<br />
<br />

It DOES taste different (and crap).<br />
<br />
-- I HATE cheese. Have done since I was little. I only like mozzarella when melted on pizza or nachos, oh and I don't mind halloumi, because it's cheese that doesn't taste cheesey.<br />
<br />
-- If I was on death row and had to have a last meal, it would be my fave curry from the take away down the road. (I've given this a lot of thought - not that I'd ever be on death row.. purely hypothetical) I'd have all the trimmings - poppadums, mango chutney, onion bhajis, garlic naan, rice, everything!! Oh now I'm craving this... great.<br />
<br />
-- I love Taylor Swift and her new album RED. I think if we ever met, we could be BFFs.<br />
<br />
-- If I could be anyone for a day it'd be Beyonce! To see what it's like to be an amazing singer and performer and all around babe - not to be married to Jay Z and have a screaming baby.<br />
<br />
-- I like dipable foods. I.e.Doritos and dip, chips and dip, bread sticks and dip...<br />
<br />
-- My favourite ever TV show is 'Charmed' (definitely wanted to be a Witch when I was younger).<br />
<br />
That's a nice round 15 facts! Hope you feel you know me a bit better :)<br />

My mum got this little beauty from Avon and I just had to share it with all you nail polish addicts! You spray it on your nails after they've pretty much set. It's a greasy formula but somehow it sets your nails with a beautiful glossy finish!<br />
<br />
Have you tried this? What you thinkin'?<br />

Yep - you read right! £1!! I thought they had been labelled wrong when I first saw but nope, Topshop Leeds decided these babies had to be reduced. I kinda felt as if I was robbing Louise Gray!<br />
<br />
So I got this lovely palette, the cream eye shadows and the multi-use sequins all for £2.70 (used my student discount as well... extra bargains).<br />
<br />

<br />
From left to right - the cream eye shadow then the palette! I must say the cream eye shadows go on so perfectly with your finger... although they do crease quite easily.. I tried them out in a natural look..<br />

Here are the products I used for this day look. I like the light pastel colour of the cream shadows although you can build them up for a deeper colour. I used my new Illamasqua lip gloss in the look which I bought for a steal in the online sale (See previous post). I love bargain make up!<br />
<br />
Have you got any make up bargains recently?<br />
<br />
PS. Check out my Instagram account (@fionabarbs) for up to the minute beauty pics! I also have this new Vine App but have no idea what to do with it... I'll get to grips with it sooner or later!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13408560203711717807noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304371857117521471.post-82191662299938164632013-01-28T18:01:00.001-08:002013-01-30T11:52:40.627-08:00ILLAMASQUA Online Sale HaulAs the Illamasqua online sale comes to an end today I thought I'd better speedily write my reviews up so you guys can see what an amazing sale they have! <br />
<br />
I have never bought anything from Illamasqua before but as their sale looked so fantastic I thought it'd be rude not to, right? <br />
<br />
Firstly I love Illamasqua's brand and packaging! Their ethos 'Make Up for your alter ego' is so unique it makes you want to experiment with colour more!<br />
<br />
So I'll tell you what I got (with so many items it was difficult to decide) and do a quick review!<br />
<br />
Blending Brush #2 - £10 - This brush is my new fave! It is the perfect size for blending eyeshadow, concealer or cheek products! It is lovely and soft and feels amazing on the skin!<br />
<br />
Under eye Concealer in 105 - £5 -This is a white concealer with pink undertones, I am quite pale so this is perfect for me even though it looks bright! It blends perfectly and I'll probably mix it with foundation if I've hit the fake tan! They do lots of other shades and its a lovely texture! <br />
<br />
Lipgloss in Artifice - £5 - I'm very impressed with this! It's a pretty beautiful nude pink colour and lasts on the lips for ages! The swatch doesn't do it justice! <br />
<br />
Liquid Metal in Stoic - £5 - This is a cream pigment which blends amazingly! Can apply easily with a finger on its own or with a brush with other shades! You can build up the intensity as well for a more dramatic look!<br />
<br />
Nail Varnish in Stagnate - £5 - I've found my new favourite nail brand! This grey mushroom colour looks great for a simple flash of sophistication to your look! Very wearable and lasts for days!<br />
<br />
All in all I love my purchases! They were all half price or even less so it really is a steal!! With free delivery on orders over £35 as well you can't go wrong!! I also ordered a loose pigment to make it up to the £35 but that hasn't come yet.<br />
<br />
Illamasqua I love you! Have you tried any of their products? What's your favourite? <br />
