it's been a while....Chanel Khaki Vert and Kitty cat

It's been a long while since i blogged and i'm not entirely sure why...Anyway, this was my makeup for halloween. I was, of course, a cat!!

This look was done using mainly my Maybelline black liquid eyenier and the black and grey eyeshadows from my 88 neutral palette. That is a hair clip round my neck, which i clipped onto an elastic type hairband thing.
I backcomed my hair and used a good deal of hairspray. Then scraped it up into a high bun.

Me and the kids went to my friends halloween party and we had a great time. I did my daughter Annalise's make up, but my littes, Madison, refused to wear anything remotely halloweenish until the end of the night, when she donned a witches hat.
This was Annie - she was kind of like Mona The Vampire, and won the competiotion for best outfit!!!
And this is the highly sought after Chanel Khaki Vert nail polish. It is VERY special to me and i am afraid to use it! but i'm getting my nails done on friday, so shall wear it then, as we all know nail polish lasts so much longer when you have fake nails on!

i shall do another post quickly, showing my outfit and my daughters' outfits on halloween....so more pics to follow!!!

Until next time

Halloween make up ideas

A trial run of my cat make up. It's not the cat look i am going with, i shall do a post on that one on Halloween!
My cousin asked me if i had any tips for a Horror Burlesque type look, so i came up with this one..
And the one directly above is your standard burlesque look, obvs.

AT LAST!!!

Wow, it's been so so long since i've blogged, and i'm not even sure why. I've had quite a lot going on recently and just haven't been able to find the time, nor have i found anything i particularly want to blog about
BUT! i have, at last, after years of searching, found a decent Nude lipliner. EVERY lip liner that has ever professed to being 'nude' or 'pinky brown' or one which would go great with nude lipsticks, has always been a massive dissapointment. I have found 90% of them to be pretty dark in all honesty, and mostly with a reddish tone. However, whilst in Superdrug the other day i happened by complete chance , upon this little beauty

Max Factor Lip Pencil in Blush. (picture above. Stock photo, cos i haven't taken a pic of my one)

This is a FAB nude lipliner, it rivals all the great nude lipsticks, but obviously with all the staying power of a lipliner. It is smooooooth and creamy to apply and i love it!!!
I will post a picture of me wearing it later!!

Until next time
XOXO

Favourite Nude lipstick

So after purchasing MANY nude lipsticks, such as

Mac Hue
Revlon Nude Attitude
Natural Collection Apple Blossom
Barry M 101 Marshmallow
Elf Natural Nymph
Rimmel Airy Fairy
Rimmel Nude Delight

To name but a few....But today i finally decided that my absolute fave nude is L'Oreal Color Riche in Almond Creme (creme d' amande) number457

It's a lovely beigey nude, with no orange undertones (like Revlon Nude Attitude and Rimmel Nude Delight). It is creamy and applies really well. It's not super light, like Barry M 101, nor is it waxy (again, like Barry M).
I've had it a while now, and bought it off ebay, just going by the name, hoping i would like it. And i did!
I just re-found it in my drawer today and thought 'wow, i bloody love this!'
The packaging also looks really posh - all gold and sleek!
And the good thing is, this lipstick is pretty cheap, i think i paid about £3-£4 for mine, so it's an absolute bargain.
Yep, definately my fave!!
My second favourite would be my Mac Hue.
Sorry, no swatches at this present time, as it's 3.15 am, and therfore too dark to get a proper idea of the colour!

Until next time
