March Favorites 2013......

Happy Easter everyone!!

I hope that you all had a lovely time with your families.

March is one of my favorite months of the year and I am always sad to see it gone. 

That said, this March really hasn't been like most what with all the snow and strange weather that we have had in the UK. Where has Spring gone??

I had some gorgeous beauty favorites this month, I have enjoyed popping a little bit of colour into my daily look. 

I have rediscovered some old favorites as well as some new ones.

What have you loved this month?

Naked 2 and Wet n Wild smoky purple eye........

Happy Tuesday everyone!!

Hope you are all having a fab week?!

I have for you today part two of the tutorial I filmed the other day, this is eyes and lips. 

I wanted a mauve silver look and this is what I can up with.......

I used the Urban Decay Naked2 Paltte and my Wet'N'Wild Petal Pusher palette. I really like this look and have worn it to work a few times. To see how I achieved the look, watch below...

Something new, Face of the week and shopping my stash.....

Hi everyone, hope you all had a fab weekend!!! Do you have snow where you are? Thank fully it isn't settling here :)

I have decided thast I wanted to share a weekly post with you all. I got thinking and I have come up with a face of the week that is partly shopping my stash. 

Im planning on shopping my stash once a week to create a FOTW that I will share with you on a Sunday or Monday :))

I have 2 days off a week and these are the days that I get to wear what ever I please, the rest of the week, I will stick to my products that I have chosen for the week. 

I am hoping that it will help me rotate my collection, and rediscover some old favorites.

Here are this weeks products :))

And this is what happened....... lol

What do you think of this idea??

Let me know!!

Olay Aqua Physics Serum

I have been using this for a few months mow and this is my 2nd bottle, I love it. Super light, a thirst quenching hydration boost for the skin. Helps keep skin plump and smooth.

Miracle by Lancome

One of my favourite fragrances of all time, lasts really well on the skin, beautiful fragrance.

The official description is...

 

You Make It Happen. A vibrant, sparkling fragrance that opens like the dawning of a new day with fresh, dewy notes of Lychee and Freesia. Its spicy heart echoes with notes of Magnolia, Jasmine, Ginger and Pepper as its warm base notes envelop you in the sensual splendor of Amber and Musk. A fresh start: A fruity floral accord that combines juicy Lychee with the sparkling accents of Freesia. An ardent, floral-spicy heart: Delicate Magnolia pairs with passionate notes of Bourbon Pepper and Ginger. A rich, radiant base: The deep glow of Absolute Jasmine kindled by the warm, sensuous notes of Musk and Amber

This is my go to gel liner, its long lasting, stays on the water line and a true deep black.

Mac Plush Glass in Posh It Up

This is one of Macs plumping glosses. Does give a slight tingle but nothing major. Love this for the colour.

And lastly

Me Me Me lip creme in Celine

I am a great fan of Me Me Me products and this is no exception, i have done a full review. For more info click HERE

The reason these two lip products are in my favs is because they look great layered.

Urban Decay Naked Palette back in stock..........

I am not going to bore you with yet another blog post on the much coveted Naked Palette...

This is simply to tell you all that it is back in stock with House of Fraser on line, I just got a backup as my original is running very low on a couple of the shades ( Side car and virgin being two of them)

And here it is....

Unlike the original, it now comes with a brush instead of the double ended liner. I'm both happy and sad that the liner is no more as i loved the double ended liner, the brush though is great and fab quality.

So if you missed out or just need a spare, head over to H of F now, the direct link is
