New hair FOTD

Hi all,

Thought I'd show you my new hair-do. I've had a trim and a lot of layers put in around my face so that I'll have a lot more of it down when I tie my hair back and she added to the fringe too. I'll be keeping my hair black though. I'm now lemming TiGi Bedhead stuff after she let me smell what she put on my hair lol Here are the pics I showed my stylist (same actress with it tied back and down):

Naughty Strawberry FOTD

Hi all,

Yep, back to purples but I went for pink on the lips and cheeks this time for a chance. I'm shocked at how different Naughty Strawberry looks over a black base. I got complimented in Specsavers on it in fact. Was discussing Sleek with the SA. Also, I'm shocked I'm about to say this but I think I prefer Bourjois Healthy Mix to LM Silk Creme. My skin loves it, a little white to mix and it's perfect and it still looks lovely after a long day (unlike Silk Creme sadly).

Products used:
Face:
-Usual primer
-Bourjois Healthy Mix in 51 with a little Makeup Revolution The Foundation in 1
-Usual concealers, powders and contour product and
-Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked blusher in One For Playing Games.
Eyes:
-UDPP
-Jordana eyeshadow pencil in the black shade
-L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadow in Naughty Strawberry (lid)
-MAC Fig 1 (crease)
-MAC Purple Haze (to blend)
-Rimmel Matte White (brow bone)
-Sleek Eau La La liner in Noir
-Essence waterproof eyeliner pen
-Maybelline Full & Soft mascara and
-Boots Natural Collection Water Guard mascara.
Lips:
-L'Oreal Colour Riche Serum lipstick in Freshly Rosy.

Death by Chocolate FOTD

Hi all,

First of my Chocolate palette looks and this one is from the Death By Chocolate palette. Quite frankly, I'm shocked at how smooth and pigmented the colours are if a little powdery. My new found blending skills come from the brush that came with the UD Naked 2 palette. I'm in love with it and need many back-ups!

Also, the area manager of Arbonne here wants me to work for her. She loves my look and says I'm very talented. I've turned down becoming a consultant for now as I can't really take on anything else with mum and all but I'll be doing an event with her where I'll do make-up on 2 models. Exciting!

Products used:
-Usual primer mix, foundation, concealers, powders and contour product
-MAC Dainty Mineralize blush and
-Laura Mercier Matte highlight in 01.
Eyes:
-UDPP
-Barry M Eyeshadow pencil in Purple
-From Makeup Revolution Death by Chocolate palette: Love You To Death (lid), One More Bar (crease and lower lashline), Break Me Up (transition), White Light (brow bone), Bring Down Angels (inner corner), All Is Lost (outer corner) and Devour Me (lower lashline).
-Essence waterproof eyeliner pen
-Holika Holika Jewel Light eyeliner pencil in 01
-Maybelline Full & Soft mascara and
-Boots Natural Collection Water Guard mascara.
Lips:
-ELF Mineral eyeshadow primer (yep, makes an awesome lip primer) and
-Revlon Just Enough Buff lipstick.

The New Brown FOTD

Hi all,

I build this look around Catrice eyeshadow in The New Brown. I have to say, it's amazing! Blue eye girls, you need this in your life. It make my eye colour so intense. I used Pixie Epoxy underneath as a lot of Catrice's newer shimmery shadows have a lot of fallout which solved that issue. Apologies if the pics aren't great. The weather is permanently gloomy here lately.

Products used:
Face:
-Usual primer mix, foundation, concealers, powders and contour product
-MAC Uncommon Blushcreme and
-Kryolan highlighter in Cashmere. I think I'm in love!.
Eyes:
-UDPP
-Milani ShadowEyez in Cafe Au Lait
-Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
-Catrice The New Brown (lid)
-Catrice Go Charlie Brown (crease)
-Mixture of peach and light brown from 28 Neutral palette (transition)
-Catrice Vanilla and Charles (brow bone and inner corner)
-MUG gel liner in Mobster
-Look Cosmetics Eye Brightener
-NYX Doll Eyes Volume mascara and
-Boots Natural Collection Water Guard mascara.
Lips:
-Maybelline clear lipliner and
-Morgana Cryptoria lipstick in Love Lies Bleeding.
