Look what dropped onto my doormat!...

If any of you lovelies follow me on Twitter, you'll know that I was the lucky winner of Jen's giveaway over at her blog 'allyouneedisloveandlipstick' :)

I was firstly super excited to have won as I never, and I mean ever win a thing hehe I must be the most unlucky soul on the planet.. But most importantly, the giveaway was to win a tube of the much raved about 'Cover Girl Lash Blast' mascara, amongst other fabby things! 

So, after opening my little parcel this was what I found! 

I received a lovely card from Jen (who has the most beautiful handwriting by the way!) along with my goodies! 

I haven't yet had the chance to use the mascara, but I shall be taking it for a rather excitable spin tomorrow! 

Along with the mascara was a gorgeous stick of strawberry Carmex; which again was a first as I've only ever used the original and the cherry, a pair of super summery earrings from Forever 21 and some rather scrummy fruit flavoured Jolly Ranchers! 

I just wanted to take the opportunity to say a massive thanks to Jen, if you don't already follow her then take  you should take a hop skip and a jump over to her lovely blog by clicking here!

I'll try and do a FOTD or Review of the Lash Blash Mascara for you all by the end of the week :) 

Hope you all had a great weekend!

FOTN - Little Sister's Art & Design Final Show

So last night, we as a family were celebrating my little sisters completion of her Foundation Diploma in Art & Design. She had, not only completed 3 final pieces of work to be exhibited, but actually organised and rounded up the troops to actually get the show on the road! Consequently we were extremely proud and went along to support not only her but some of her lovely friends :) 

I thought I'd do a quick FOTN to show you how I wore my makeup, I pretty much stuck to my Sleek Storm Palette for my eyes, making them super shimmery which I thought was a nice, pretty take on my normal 'smokey' eye!

Here's what I used: 

MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC20

MAC Studio Fix Concealer NC15 

Benefit 'Big Beautiful Eyes Kit' - Brown Shadow for Eyebrows

MAC Soft Ochre Paintpot over lids

Sleek Storm Palette: 

- Darker Gold All Over Lid

- Shimmery Bronze/Brown In Crease

- Shimmer Champagne to Blend 

- Lighter Gold Under Eye (From Inner to Centre Of Eye)

- Bronze/Brown Under Eye (From Centre to Outer Corner)

Rimmel 3 Looks Mascara

Rimmel Glam Eyes Liquid Liner

MAC Blush Baby on Cheeks

Carmex on Lippies to Moisturise!

MAC Hue Lipstick

Hope you like the look, I know it's not very far out of my 'comfort zone', I think I need to have a bit of a play about with some colour and create a different look for you lovelies, you must be sick of similar looking makeup from me! Sheeesh talk about being boring hehe

I also thought I'd post up a photo of my sister Helen from last night... 

You may be curious as to what she is wearing, it's actually a dress one of her friends created and she was sort of a 'live' exhibit within the show! 

Hope you've enjoyed reading :) 

Have a *Fabulous Friday* my little peaches!

Summer Inspired FOTD - Using My New Stila Shadows

Evening lovelies :)

The sun once again had it's hat on and most defiantely came out to play today, which in my case meant; A summery dress, ice cream and less makeup! 

I recently purchased some Stila eyeshadows after reading a post by Hannah over at Baby Blonde

The site Cheap Smells are currently selling the shadow pans from as little as £3.45. 

Having previously not tried any of the products at all, I thought it would be rude to pass up the chance, at this price too it was a fab offer! - I ended up ordering; Espresso (Matte Brown), Twig (Shimmery Coppery Brown), Lemon (Shimmering Yellow) & also Pointille (Shimmery Pale Pink)

I also ordered the Quad Palette to hold the pans, as they're bigger than MAC's and would not fit in a Pro Palette

So to get down to business, I thought I'd create a more summer friendly look using, in the end, 3 of the shadows :) 

*Hello Frecklesss....*

So here's what I used to achieve this look...

- Dior Skin Pure Light Foundation in 100

- MAC Studio Fix Concealer NC15

- MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre

- Benefit Eye Bright on Brow Bone and Inner Corners

- Stila Lemon all over Lid

- Stila Pointille on Brow Bone/Inner Corners 

- Stila Espresso to fill in Brows and also a tiny bit in outer corner, blended into the crease

- Rimmel 3 Looks Mascara (Used on number 2 for not such a dramatic look)

- Topshop Creme Blush in Flush

- Rimmel Natural Bronzer in 022 Sun Bronze

- Carmex to moisturise Lips

- MAC Myself Lipstick

I really hope you all like this look and I really recommend the Stila shadows, they're really incredibly pigmented, colour pay off is great and they're so easy to work with and blend! 

How have you all been wearing your makeup now the warmer weather is upon us?

Hope you're all fabulousss

Love Moi! Xxx
