VSL Rouge Volupte #30 Faubourg Peach ♥

 Being treat to these beautiful summery days of late, I have found myself wanting to reach for a brighter more 'sun appropriate' lip colour...

I have been totally in LOVE with this one in particular from YSL; aptly named Faubourg Peach, this beautiful shade of corally peach instantly brightens up your face :)

The famous formulation of the Rouge Volupte lipsticks is just a dream to work with; Creamy, moisturising and they also have such a delicious fruity scent! Numbers currently in my collection include; 2, 7, 8, 24 & of course this one, number 30!

Have you found yourself reaching for brighter colours when doing your makeup recently? Do you have any further YSL recommendations for me to try out?

Brightening up the Bronze Age...

Evening Sweet Peas!

I was lucky enough to get quite a considerable amount of makeup for Christmas, in fact apart from beauty items there wasn't much else I'd asked for! 

My MAC Shadow Palette is now completed and the attachment I feel to it is rather absurd! hehe .. Here is how I wore my makeup yesterday, featuring a few new products :) 

Face

MAC Studio Fix Fluid NW25 & MAC Pro-Longwear NC20 (mixed)

I've recently been applying my foundation with a new brush I received as part of a set; The Sigma F84 is a angled synthetic kabuki [Obviously made by Sigma Makeup] .. The brush is amazing, buffs foundation in perfectly and really gives a totally flawless finish, well at least I think so.. I really can't wait to try some more brushes from Sigma, have any of you had much experience with Sigma?..What are your thoughts? 

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Deep Dark

Another brush which I received as a present was the Sigma F25 or the Tapered Face Brush.. This has been the most ideal brush in gently applying a contour shade and working it in under my cheek bones. The brush is super soft and again gives such an amazing finish...

NARS Orgasm Blush

I featured this blush in my New Years FOTD and I'm even more in love with it than I was then.. Such a gorgeous coral shade with just the right amount of shimmer, not a hunt of chunky glitter as it's so finely milled.. You only need a touch on your blush brush, I use a MAC 116 and it applies it perfectly :)

Eyes

UDPP in Sin 

Obviously used to prime my eyes; it offers up just the right amount of shimmer and looks so beautiful when on the wand! Keeps my shadows on so well, so much so they look exactly the same when I come to take my makeup off on a night.. You can ask much more than that can you? .. I'm definitely a convert from MAC's Paint Pots which I used to swear by..

MAC Shadows in Nylon and Bronze

Nylon in the inner corner and up on the brow bone

Bronze on the lid

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Gold Deposit

I used this on a MAC 222 to blend out the Bronze shadow; again receiving this for Christmas I've really been enjoying it's many uses! 

Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara 

MAC Smoulder Eye Khol

Lips

As the title of this post suggests, I wanted to brighten up an otherwise everyday bronzey eye... 

I used my YSL Rouge Volupte in shade No 7 - Lingerie Pink 

I hope you all like this post and don't find it borrrrrringgggg...

I kind of got out of the habit of doing 'FOTD' posts with me being so busy recently, but as long as you lovelies enjoy them then I shall keep them coming :) 

Hope you're all having a lovely night... One of my besties is currently on BBC 1 as her Mum got chosen to be in Dale Wintons 'In It To Win It'! .. Check it out! 

Lots of Love Xx

Love for Lashes ♥

False eyelashes that is! 

As some of you may know, myself and a few other girlies from Uni have set up a small company as part of our Business Enterprise module selling False Eye lashes. In my last FOTD post 'Shear Glamour' which you can see by clicking here I was sporting a set of the more dramatic lashes. I've gotten a fair few compliments on these lashes, but I do realise that not everyone like the 'over the top' full style lash and may actually prefer a more natural style which will thicken up their own lashes and add a touch of definition. 

The lashes in the above photo are just that; natural, easy to wear & just give your natural lashes a little oomph!

I donned them last week for an impromptu shopping trip with the bestie. They opened up my eyes and drew attention to them, but in no way did I feel that they were over the top. 

Teamed with a neutral smokey eye [my speciality hehe] and a bright pink lip, namely YSL's Rouge Volupte in Lingerie Pink I was ready to shop till I dropped!

As for our company, we shall be up and running just as soon as we take delivery of our stock.. I realise this is a bit of a teaser, but hopefully through my wearing them you'll see a style that will suit you and you may, when we go online buy a box to try for yourselves! 

Much love xx
