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…

Irresistible New Range of Eyeliners from Boots 17 – Buy One Get One Half Price

There’s probably not much I love more in my make-up bag than a great, reliable black liquid eyeliner. Of all my cosmetics, I think black eyeliners get used up fastest so I  suppose I shop for them more often than any other thing. Imagine my delight when I spotted that Boots 17 have brought out a whole new range of black eyeliners! Not one eyeliner in several colours, oh no, a suite of black liquid or gel liners, in different formulations for different lining needs. I WANT THEM ALL!! Lucky for me and my wallet, they’re all priced between £3.99 and £4.99 and they’re part of a Buy One Get One Half Price offer on 17 cosmetics at the moment. I wasn’t sure if I was being impulsive or restrained, but I bought two! I might go back for the others… Above – 17 Lacquer Liner, Wet Look Finish Aaargh!…

MUA Offer!

OFFER

Hey guys, I’ve just seen this on the MUA site, they have £1 off two of their best palettes (making them £3 each!) and their gel eyeliner and Every Lash mascara (making them just £2 each) until 28th August. I’m very tempted to cave and purchase the Undressed palette, which is  a shade-for-shade dupe of the Urban Decay Naked palette. I’ve liked the look of Naked and Naked2 but I prefer to spend money on brighter colours and the UD Nakeds seem expensive to me for subtle shades, just £3 for incredibly similar shades is an amazing deal though! Gel eyeliners are excellent products, part way between a pencil and a liquid liner. At £2 each, if you’ve been wanting to try one, this is a brilliant price. This post isn’t sponsored or affiliated, I just like MUA and wanted to give you the heads up! Do you own any…

I usually update every day, so it seems like ages since I posted anything (it was Wednesday!). Despite the not-so-long absence I’m going to explain myself anyway. I’ve been working on future posts! Not blogging because I’m too busy blogging you see? I’m really excited about the upcoming guest post from my talented and beautiful friend Jo. I just finished working on the photos for it, I hope she doesn’t mind if I share this gorgeous out-take with you all We’ll be bringing you her make-up story in the next few weeks. Meanwhile, it’s grayscale so as to avoid any spoilers! Jo is an absolute joy to work with, I’m really looking forward to her post. Apart from that excitement… I went to Superdrug (thrills!) ahh, I love make up shopping. It will probably be my last shopping trip for a while as we’re planning on doing an Austerity Thing at Togetherness…

If I only wrote one thing in this blog, it would be this:

Everyone can do all beauty things! You own your looks, they don’t own you.   I’ve been wondering what it is that has kept me blogging almost daily for the three-and-a-bit months that I have been at this and today I realised, it’s probably this. I got asked if I was over 18 while buying a pedicure knife today (thanks ma’am!) and it got me thinking, it probably is wise that we are old enough to vote before we are allowed to purchase for ourselves the means to cut off offensive parts of our feet, right? Then I got to thinking how nice my feet are, and how bad they are when not properly pedicured, and I realised, my happiness with my feet stems from my willingness and confidence to cut parts of them off. I have been born with feet that have a tendency to become torturous and unattractive,…

Unmissable Eyeliner Alert!

liner win 043

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…

Contoured Eye: Work day version

Hi everyone! If you read my Step-by-step Simple Contoured Eye  that I posted on Saturday you would have seen that it’s not really work-appropriate with the colours I’ve used. Like I did previously for the Colour-Pop look when I posted a more subtle version , I took a few pics of a work-day interpretation of the simple contoured look too. For the eye make up I’ve used the Boots 17 Eyeshadow Trio in Metallic Toffee . Once again I’m going to Bang On about Boots 17 eyeshadows because for their price they really are head and shoulders above the competition. I’ve used Collection 2000 Fast Stroke Liquid Eyeliner in Brown  which is a dense, matte brown. My eyebrows are pencilled in with L’Oreal Contour Kohl in Chrome Brown, but I haven’t gone super-overboard with it (boo…!) Other products used: Clarins Everlasting Foundation in 109 Wheat , Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer in Light , a light touch…

Simple Eye Make Up Step by Step 2: Simple Contoured Eye

10 finished close up

Hi guys! It’s the weekend again and I’m in quite a celebratory mood. I’ve decided to be brave and bring you the second installment in my step-by-step eye make up series. If you read my previous post on this subject “Colour pop” you’ll know that these posts aren’t tutorials, they’re just about how I put on my eye make up. I don’t think there’s a right or wrong way to apply eye make up, but my readers have asked me to explain how I do it. I haven’t got great eyes for eye make up, them being quite small and deep set. I just do what I like them to look like. If you’d like to try this, feel free! This time I’m going to go through the steps I use for a simple contoured look. This is where I shade certain areas with a darker colour (generally the crease)…

Superdrug 2True Range 3-for-£5 Review

February 27, 2012

tutorial etc 064

Superdrug has had the 2True range in their stores for, oh, years now. They’re a budget beauty brand on a little stand usually tucked away at the back. All items in the range are priced at the same £1.99 each and they’re permanently on a 3-for-£5 multibuy promotion. I have had good success in the past with all the 2True products I’ve bought. I like the nail varnish, particularly shade 42, I really rate the waterproof liquid liner, and the plumping lip gloss and the concealer are good subs for more expensive versions. For the price of one Collection 2000 item you can get 2 or 3 of these and they represent comparable quality – good news. Feeling up for a challenge, I took my 5 pound coins along to Superdrug  to try something new.   From L-R (above) I picked up 2True Colour Drench Lipstick in Shade 1, 2True Crystal…
