Face of the Day: November 2011

This is THE make up look of choice recently peeps... 

What do you think??? I wish i had the inclination to wear falsies everyday.... because i LOVE the wide eyed result... but who does that everyday at the crack of dawn???? NOT me!!!







Face:
MAC Strobe Liquid, Maybelline Dream Creamy Foundation in Sun Beige, MAC studio finish concealer NW25 + NC35, Sleek Luminous Pressed Powder, MAC Harmony powder, MAC e/s Quite Spoiled on cheeks, Dior Amber Diamond to highlight. 

Eyes: MAC painterley paint pot, MAC e/s in Courtly all over the lid, MAC e/s Carbon on upper lash line, Ardell demi wispie false lashes (best lashes EVER!)

Brows: MAC brow marker and MAC e/s in charcoal brown to set

Lips: Estee Lauder lipstick in Bois De Rose and Plum Divine lipgloss over top

HOW NICE is that Sleek luminous powder??? It makes my skin looks flawless... and TRUST me it is far from perfect ;)

You like??

Chanel Eyeshadow Duo 17

My One and Only.... Chanel Eyeshadow that is! 



How REEM is this khaki/ discreet eyeshadow duo??? I am in love... Gorgeously smooth, satin finish shadows, which blend like an absolute dream.


 This colour is amazing on any eye/ hair colour combination. The only negative about this shadow is the payoff- a deep toned paint pot/ eyeshadow base is required in order for this shadow to pop! 



I wear mine with MAC stubborn brown powerpoint pencil in water and upper lash line with lashings of mascara and bronzed skin. 



How do you wear yours?

Lots of CHANEL Love,

Got My Nails Did!

Hi Girlssss!

I got my nails did today! Yippeeeeee :)

All be it just a varnish... a little (well- teeny tiny!) bit of pampering can go along way!

I wanted to share with you the new Magnetic Attraction range from Nails Inc!

I have a Nails Inc bar in the department store for whom I work my little butt off for, so I sauntered down there in my lucnh break to test out the new (and SOLD OUT :() range of varnishes!

Feast your eyes on the results!

The varnish contains iron powder and when the magnetic cap, containing a pattern is held over the nail the iron powder clusters to form this unique pattern! How cool is that!


My Nails were painted with-
1. Kensington Caviar Base Coat
2. 'Houses of Parliament' Magnetic polish
3. Kensington Caviar 45 second Top Coat


And....

If that wasn't enough... £1 of every bottle of Magnetic Polish sold goes to The Prince's Trust

Houses of Parliament' Magnetic polish RRP £13.00 

So will you be magnetized????? (CRINGE!)

Sleek Au Naturel 601 Eyeshadow Palette!

This post has been the hardest one to post everrrrrrr.....

Firstly.. I am very sorry for  my lack of posts, You Tube videos and general social media vanishment! My Macbook was poorly and needed to be repaired, and this was expensive....

But I am back! and the moment i was about to post this rave review of the Sleek Au Natural palette... I managed to somehow delete it all!!! Genius ehhh!

So here goes....

Wellll I missed out on the whole natural e/s palette craze that took of by storm, probably due to the critically acclaimed Urban Decay make up palette... I do not own any of the UD palettes or products (except for UDPP, duh!)... so i passed.... ive never been much of an e/s but i am trying!  And i have accumulated quite a collection in a short period of time i'll have you know (can thank YT guru's and tutorials for that!)...

So i thought when the MUA Heaven and Earth palette came around, that it was and still is a no brainer, matte and shimmer neutral shades for a great price.... but i could not find it at my local superdrug... and i like to try before i buy... so an online purchase was not ann option....

Then came my neutral e/s palette savour! The Sleek Au Natural Palette! 12 gorgeous shades varying in colour, depth and finish... all made to a high standard and lotssss of pigment (esp the black OMG!)... all for £5.99... You really cant go wrong.... 

I have literally worn this palette on my eyes and brows everyday since i got it (1st Sept)! It can carry you from day to night and the e/s looks are endless.. I definitely recommend everyone of you go and see this palette!

Enough chat... onto the pictures!









Hope you enjoyed that long awaited post peeps!!!

Nail Galactic!

Good evening readers!

Tonight's post.... Nail art!

I decided to give the galaxy nail design a whirl.... I was inspired after watching Andrea Choice's Vid on You Tube, and seeing LLYMLRS blog post on the beauties!!!

So I watched this You Tube tutorial by CutePolish and then quickly...(it literally took 10 mins!) created this look on my talons before going out to a friends housewarming/ bbq on saturday night!

Enjoy!



You will need-

Nail Dotting Tool
Tweezers
A corner of a make up/ cleaning sponge
Base/ Top Coat
Black varnish
White varnish
Yellow varnish
Peach/ Orange varnish
Navy Varnish
Glitter varnish- a varnish with varying sized chunks of glitter is preferable but not essential!

Now we paint!
1. apply a Base Coat to create a smooth surface and prevent nail staining. 
2. One coat of black (or two or three, whatever your heart desires!)
3. Pick up a schmidgen of white varnish on the sponge, holding the sponge in your tweezers and sponge on the nail in a random/ hap- hazard stripe to resemble a nebula.
4. Build on the nebula type design using the yellow, peach and navy....
5. You can use the dotting tool and the white varnish to carefully dot the varnish  in a random design to resemble larger stars
6. Apply a coat of glitter varnish
7. Finish off with your fave top coat to seal in the colour!

Eh Voila!



Good luck ladies!

Let me know if you try this nail look!

Lots of love,

Liz xxxx
