A Study in Purple: Eyebrows

October 23, 2012

As a beauty enthusiast, finding a new place to colour in is always pretty great. Discovering that colour can go on lips, nails, eyelids, cheeks, lashes, skin, lashline, waterline, browbone, highlight, has all been accompanied with the fun of discovery and trial and error. It was with great excitement I discovered that yes – there is yet another thing I can colour in! Not limited to the shades of nature, eyebrows can also rock exciting colour! I can’t believe I haven’t tried this before This little task is yet another job for the brilliant Collection 2000 Extreme Waterproof Eyeliner Pen which is already one of my favourite eye products. I applied it as I would a pencil, smudging a little with a cotton bud to blend any lines in. My first experiment with it, I went for using the purple on both eyeliner and eyebrow as follows:  Too Purple But I…

Face Of The Day: How Much Is That Blogger In The Window?

Hello everyone! The title of this post could have been more accurately “How Much Is The Combined Value Of All The Cosmetic Products On The Face Of This Bloger If She Were To Repurchase Them All Today?” but obviously, that wouldn’t fit! I’ve been watching the brilliant, inspiring videos by make-up artist duo Pixiwoo. If you haven’t seen any of their videos, I urge you to click and watch a few. They’re so brilliant at demonstrating how to apply make-up looks and how to use specific products, amazing. Anyway, the video below really caught my attention     The object of the challenge is to buy a full-face of make up for £2o. Sam doesn’t quite manage it and goes over budget slightly. Her choices are nice though and she looks great, so it’s useful information if you’re looking for decent products on a very restricted budget. It got me…

Face of the Day: Best Ever Eye Palette

July 7, 2012

Eye palettes are having their big moment lately. They’ve always existed but they arrived with the Urban Decay Naked Palette and it is a thing which is just running and running. Personally, I love them! I’m adventurous, nay, foolhardy with the variety of bright eye shadow colours I like to use and switch between each day, so having a big selection of shades to choose from with pre-selected complimentary shades is great for me. Palettes in general can be a bit hit-and-miss though. They work out pretty cheaply per-eyeshadow, but if you only end up using a couple of shades they’re quite pricey, and there’s also no point having a set of beautiful colours that you can’t use because the formula isn’t up to much. So, to be a really great eye palette, the products need to have a great formula and pigmentation, with colours you’ll actually love and use. Given this,…

Face of the Day: Dark Tulip

This weekend I dyed my hair with my favourite La Riche Directions shade “Dark Tulip”. Adding the deep purple rinse to my hair colour calls for a switching up of my make up shades to compliment the new tones in my hair. Once again I’ve gone for Collection 2000 shades on my eyes, I’ve used the Angelic Palette. I’m so impressed with these Collection 2000 palettes sent to me by my friend Katie from Snugglebubby.com - such a lovely gift thank you! This time I’ve used the green shade on the lid, the silver shade on the browbone and the blue near the lashline. The eyeliner is Collection 2000 Extreme 24h felt tip liner in Teal. There are three Collection 2000 eyeshadow palettes available, each with nine shades, at £4.19 each they’re an absolute steal! That’s less than 47p per shade. OK, you have to build them up a bit, but the…

Face Of The Day: Inspired by my Summer Mama

Above: Quizzical Direct Stare by Genetics, Eyeliner by Collection 2000 I’m very lucky in a way that both my parents are much cooler and better-looking than I’ll ever be. Why? Rebelling against coolness and vivaciousness offers so many more dimensions of expression, while giving you a grounding knowledge that people who appear far-out and stunning are really just people like me. My mum’s make-up, her style and her appearance in general has always been an inspiration to me. We are similar looking except I have pale skin and dark hair, a “Winter colouring” (in the old fashioned parlance of Colour Me Beautiful ) and she has ash-blonde hair and slightly less pale skin, a “Summer Colouring”. Like most cool, beautiful people, she can rock any headgear and revels in doing so. She prefers natural-feeling clothes in soft shades. When I’m looking for inspiration and want to mix things up a bit, I…

Unmissable Eyeliner Alert!

I read a lot of beauty blogs and I get all the best information from them – I don’t trust brands half as much as I trust bloggers. When a product is going to be really good, I kind of expect to read a rush of posts raving about it. This is part of the reason why I’m completely blown away by this product. I know it has been reviewed but nothing stuck in my memory as being “OMG BUY IT NOW” so when I saw it in store I was all *shrug*… alright then. Since I have tried it I honestly don’t know why beauty bloggers are not raving like angry cats about it! This £2.99 liquid liner is insanely brilliant! Image taken from http://www.collectioncosmetics.co.uk Collection 2000 Extreme 24 hour felt tip liner is brilliant. I’ve used felt-tip pen liquid liners before and been disappointed. The colour is usually too…

Monday Mountain and Photo Fails

As the lovely Alex pointed out just after midday today – Monday Morning is officially over! How was it for you guys? Mine was… well, put it this way, I’m glad there’s only one every week. I had a mountain of work to plough through today, so I was totally stoked to get away for a few minutes at lunchtime and grab a couple of the much-hyped-on-this-very-blog Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation from Superdrug  before they go up to their regular price on Wednesday. Two bottles? That’s loads… I know. I tested the shades and I’m between the palest and the sample shade so I figured I could customise it with mixing both and make the most of it being only £5.99.  I tested it on my hand have spent the whole day making moon-eyes at my hand “oh so pretty, are you even my hand?” Ha ha It has to…
