February Favorites 2013 and a fail................

How excited am I that Spring is on the way!!!

I really am pleased that its time for February Favorites as it means that Spring is nearly here.

I have had a complete skin care over haul this month, although I was seeing some improvements, it wasn't enough, so I got some advice and have started using Avene.

As well as lots of favorites, I do have one fail this month, maybe its something you can help me with?

What have you been loving this month???

A Golden eye with a neon lip, a look I've been loving.............

Happy Sunday everyone!! Hope you have all been having a fab weekend?! 

I wanted to share with you today a make up look that I have been wearing for just over a week now since picking up the The Top Shelf Bare Minerals READY palette  in a blog sale.

Its a super quick eye that packs a punch with a gorgeous neon lip.

If you would like to see how I did this look, including the neon lip, then take a look at the tutorial below.

Hope you enjoy the look!!

Thank you for watching!

Bare Minerals READY Eyeshadow 2.0..........

I love a good old blog sale, I really do. Especially when I find products that I have been dying to try.

I was so happy when I saw this Bare Minerals palette over on Alices blog (Bright town Girl, you must check her blog out!!)  it is something I have wanted to try for ages.

The READY Range from Bare Minerals is a collection of pressed products including eye shadows, skin veils, foundation, bronzer and blush.

The Top Shelf Palette

L To R

Mixologist and Cognac

These shadows are super pigmented and have really impressed me. They have an almost creamy texture, blend beautifully and last all day.

Mixologist and Cognac

I love the payoff from just one swipe of a finger or brush. Cognac is a beautiful antiqued gold shade, a color I have been loving recently.

The packaging is the rubberized compact that has become famous thanks to NARS. It also has a great sized mirror in the compact, making it ideal for travel.

The duo shadows normally cost £19.00, in my opinion a great price for the quality and pigment of the product.

I put a video together of a look I have been wearing featuring these beautiful shadows.

Have you tried the ready shadows from Bare Minerals? What colors do you recommend?

My first Bare Minerals and a new Buxom Gloss...................

As a dedicated lover of all things beauty and makeup related, I am a little embarrassed to admit that I have never tried anything from Bare Minerals.
When I was in Brighton a couple of months ago, I visited the Brighton Bare Minerals Boutique.
I initially went in to have a look at the 'Ready To Wear' Collection.

Although there were some beautiful colours in the collection, I settled on 2 of the original mineral powder shadows. I also picked up another of the Buxom Lip glosses.

Starting with the gloss, I choose the shade Tonya, a beautiful bright coral pink shade. 

I have one of the Buxom glosses already, and they are bar far one of my all time favourite lip glosses EVER!! lol, a bold statement I know, but I really do love these glosses. 

They offer a plumping action in addition to gorgeous colour pay off and long wear time.

Tonya

Next on to the shadows. I chose two shades, One the most popular shade that Bare Minerals make ( The lovely consultant told me this, lol) and the 2nd a beautiful summery colour that I couldn't resist

Nude Beach and Chameleon

Nude beach is such a pretty colour, I can totally see why its such a popular colour, its a lovely champagne beige shade with delicate shimmer. I can not believe the texture of the shadows, they are so soft to use and milled beautifully.

Next is Chameleon, a blue/green/gold shade. The name describes this colour perfectly. Its a real chameleon of a colour, it changes in both the light and varies depending what colours you pare it with. It really is a beautiful colour.

I have wore these eye shadows a couple of times and am enjoying experimenting with them. I find that they wear really nicely through the day and don't crease.

The shadows are £14 each, I think that this price is very reasonable as looking at the quantity of product you get, they are going to last for a long long time.

You can buy Bare Minerals at selected department stores, In Bare Minerals Boutiques and On line direct.

Do you have any recommendations for me from Bare Minerals?

What do you think I should try next?
