Xmas Day 2014 FOTD

Hi all,

Merry Xmas or whatever you celebrate. Posh lunch out was a great excuse for me to glam up. I bought the jewellery set for my mum's 60th birthday party (she turned 73 on December 15th) from Avon and it's still going strong. I rarely do gold eye make-up but thought why not? I think I need to admit that I'm in love with the Revlon eyeliner in Vixen and start hunting some down online. It makes my eyes look so blue and doesn't move an inch on my lower lashline which a huge thing for me as I haven't found any other eyeliner that does so.

Products used
Face:
-Usual primer, foundation mix, concealers, powders and contour product,
-Lancome Miel Glace blush and
-ELF Gotta Glo.
Eyes:
-UDPP
-Milani ShadowEyez in Champagne Toast
-Makeup Revolution I Heart Chocolate palette
-Revlon ColorStay eyeliner in Vixen
-NYX Doll Eyes Volume mascara and
-Boots Natural Collection Water Guard mascara.
Lips:
-Maybelline clear lipliner and
-Tarte Lust Lipsurgence.

Smoke & Melrose FOTD

Hi all,

Just a little shopping and visiting friends today but couldn't resist a red lip with a soft eye and glowing cheeks. I have to say, Makeup Revolution is fast becoming one of my favourite brands. Their Vivid Baked blushers are so glowy and pigmented. Definitely comparable to Milani Baked blushes and only £2.50 a pop! Please excuse the lighting, the weather is being weird again today.

Products used:
Face:
-Usual primer, foundation mix, concealers, powders and contour product and
-Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked blusher in Bang Bang You're Dead.
Eyes:
-UDPP
-Maybelline Pink Gold CT
-WnW Smoke & Melrose palette
-Revlon Matte eyeshadow in Pink Innocence
-Look Cosmetics Eye Brightener
-Mally Get The Last Lash mascara and
-Boots Natural Collection Water Guard mascara.
Lips:
-Maybelline clear lipliner and
-Maybelline SuperStay lip colour in Cherry Pie.

Smoky Plum Vixen FOTD

Hi all,

I'm trying to get back into posting FOTDs despite my health and stress levels still not being good. Keeping myself distracted definitely helps. Today I finally got to try the much coveted Clarins Smoky Plum eyeshadow and now I get why it was so hyped. I used it over a similar coloured cream eyeshadow and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy and it has to be the most multi-dimensional plum eyeshadow I've ever seen! The pics just do not do it justice. Absolutely gorgeous! And no, I'm not growing my fringe out. We've been having very strong winds here recently and it's just more practical for me to wear it like this.

Products used:
Face:
-Usual primer
-Bourjois Healthy Mix in 51 mixed with Makeup Revolution The Foundation in 1
-Tarte Creaseless concealer in Fair (under eyes)
-KA SSE in SX01 (blemishes)
-Usual powders and contour product and
-Sleek Antique blush.
Eyes:
-UDPP
-GOSH Forever eyeshadow stick in Plum
-Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
-Clarins Smoky Plum eyeshadow
-MAC Quarry eyeshadow
-Boots No 7 Stay Perfect eyeshadow in Innocence *HG highlight shade! Perfect satiny ivory)
-MAC Vex (inner corners)
-Revlon ColorStay eyeliner in Vixen *so ridiculously gorgeous. I'm going to be so upset when I finish this as it has been disconned*
-BE Flawless Definition mascara and
-Boots Natural Collection Water Guard mascara.
Lips:
-Maybelline clear lipliner
-Jordana Cabernet lipliner (to line and fill in) and
-Avon Vixen lipstick.
