Hey lovelies! Hope you are all well!?
I've had a very busy week this week so please excuse the lack of posts.
Also I'm trying to get used to wearing my hair natural again - what do you think?
The plan is no heat and straightening (apart from fringe) with the aim of it growing!
Fingers crossed the lack of heat will help with me obtaining luscious locks!...

So, what does it do?
According to Maybelline this.. smooths over skin for a retexurised feel and a poreless look
So what did I experience? Pretty much the above. I mean, don't get me wrong - it's not a miracle product - my pores didn't just disappear but they were visibly reduced as were the lines in my forehead. Result.
Here it is with MAC studio fix fluid.
I have also tried it with MUFE HD and L'oreal Studio Secrets - all with good results....

I think it's only right that I start this post by stating when I think of Georgio Armani makeup doesn't immediately spring to mind. I mean I think of jeans and the Armani She fragrance (which I never grow tired of).However recently I've read about a couple of their products which are influencing my view on the brand.Firstly, the spring 2011 collection it pretty stunning. Whilst I'm seeing lots of brights about at the moment Armani seem to w focusing...

I received this lovely little bundle from Montagne Jeunesse in the post recently. I felt very spoilt! I love a good lipbalm and immediately popped it open!
And very happy with it I was too. It smells delish! Very fruity. The scent is cranberry and Aloe Vera.
In terms of moisturising it's great. Very similar to the chap stick that I am currently using which is the best lipbalm for moisturising my lips without making them lipbalm dependent...

So I have a seriously bad relationship with my undereyes. It's not that I don't try, it's just well no matter what I do they always seem to remain shadowed.
Well not always... I've found a couple of products that assist me (providing that is that I have been getting some sleep and have ample amount of time for precise makeup application).
The Illamasqua Under-eye Concealer is one of these. I first bought this about 12 - 18months ago when chatting...

Hey Ladies,
I wanted to create another Valentines possible look for you girlies, whilst also showing you a look from using the NYX Makeup Box Palette only. (Aside from foundation obviously - which was MUFE Face and Body with HD over the top)
So here is the look I created from it...
I thought this look was a pretty one for Valentine's day as its super warming and pretty and romantic. It's an alternative to pinks! (Although I look those too!)
The...

So I have been using this powder for a while now but unfortunately my previous one did that annoying breaking thing, you know, where it ends up in bits in the tin. Joy. So I had to purchase another one
I buy shade Transparent 001 because all the others look orange on my skin (even though I'm not all that pale!). This goes on really light though so it just provides you with a smoothing mattifying effect. All good for £3.99!
What I would say...

Gosh I seriously have an infatuation with Bobbi Brown Products. I mean, I love lots of brands but nothing quite has the same effect on me as BB's colours. I've said it before and I will say it again - they are just the perfect colours for making the most of your features - rich without being too OTT. Perfect for any day or evening look.
So naturally I was excited to see this beautiful array of lippies.
The video on YouTube introducing these rightly...
I spotted these the other day when searching for eyeshadow kits and had to share with you.
I think they are a fabulous idea although I have no idea if they work as well as described - has anyone tried them??
They retail at around $30 for two applications, but I cannot find delivery details to the UK on their website - so I am guessing they ship to the US only! I might have a search on ebay - it would certainly speed up my makeup for night's...

After last year's buzz surrounding Gaga and Viva Glam I am not surprised MAC are doing a second one with her. But wait, no! What happened to last years divine marketing pictures and the pretty pink lippie!? I mean I know of course they aren't going to do the same colour, otherwise there would be no point brining out a Gaga II. That said, this colour just does not provide me with the same excitement at all. And I am really not keen on this whole...
Lusting after Celebrity Looks... Reading a book that actually stimulates my mind and takes more than a few train journeys to complete... (I had got a little too hooked on vampire books!) Clearing out unwanted "stuff"... Thinking of doing a blog sale but not sure whether to or not as a lot of it is clothing! What have you been doin...
I was very excited last week when I managed to pick up my unknown parcel delivery and found this beauty!!
I had heard about this fabulous perfume ring and really wanted to get my hands on one so that when I am on nights out I can keep topping up my perfume hehe!
Anyway, my wish came true and I put it on straight away. Here's what it looks like on...
It's so pretty! The ring itself is adjustable so that's always good if you have slim fingers...

I have lots of mascaras in my makeup drawer. I mean a SHEDload. And this is one of them. Most of us love a good MAC product but I never really notice their mascaras when I head to a store (I am too busy swatching all the fabulous lippies!).Anyway, I received this as part of a gift at Christmas and I have been meaning to review it since then. It retails for £13.50 normally.MAC says that this instant volume mascara power-lifts the lashes into length,...
See what I am loving right now!- Vera Wang Perfume £41.50 - £74.50 depending on size - Soap and Glory Body Smoothing Cream £7.50- Illamasqua Under Eye Concealer £13.00 - Bobbi Brown Corrector £17.00 - Urban Decay Eyeshadow Potion Primer £11.50 - Collection 2000 Felt Tip Eyeliner £2.99 - Coastal Scents 10 blush Palette $15...

As you know last week I attended London IMATs at Alexandra Palace.
It was a great experience from start to finish, but I definitely found it very tiring.
I travelled down with L from beautifullyaddictedto and we got there for 9.30am. We quickly got our wristbands and headed through the stalls to the room showing the YouTube Gurus talk/question and answer.
We listened to hints and tips about makeup and blogging and then we were off to go shopping!...
So I have finally had chance to have a look through all of the leaflets I picked up this time last week at the show that was IMATs.
Amongst all the makeup schools, makeup looks, training courses and makeup brushes I spotted within Sleek's info they are launching two new palettes. Always exciting!
One of them is called I-Divine Paraguaya (RRP £6.49) and is filled with warm browns and cool corals. (My perfect colours!) This will be in stores from...
