When It's Dull and Wintery - Brighten Up Your Makeup!

*Old Photo*

I found this photo whilst going through my old files.  It's from about a year ago.  Not sure why I didn't post it as I quite like this look!

What do you think?

It's making me want to chop my hair again too - think it looks better shorter..?

Famous by Sue Moxley EOTD

I decided it was about time I did another "loud" EOTD. Especially after today was actually sunny! Novelty or what!

Now you will know that I have admitted to previously being a little colour shy when it comes to eyeshadow. However I am actively trying to combat that and find new ways to wear colour that are bright and beautiful without being totally unwearable. I think I may have found another new look today using this palette...

The beautiful Fesitval Palette
(taken without flash - the colours are so amazing!)

And here is the beautiful EOTD I created using the lime, pink and teal shades.

I absolutely love this combination and think it is just divine!

What do you think ladies? Do you like it?

EOTD - Blue and Purple - An Unlikely Combination?

So here's another EOTD post for you ladies. This time slightly more daring. Again making use out of my NYX Makeup Box.

I absolutely love this look!! So not something I would ordinarily go for but now that I have tried it I just think that it actually somehow works and I am no longer afraid to use bright blue eyeshadow!!

Apparently it's not only teenages that wear blue eyeshadow haha!

The shades I have used are of course the bright blue on the bottom row, purple on the top row under the eye and then the darker purple on the second row in the crease with the light pink from the top row all over the rest of the lid. I also used a little white to highlight.

What do you think? Yay or Nay??

EOTD - Golden Eye

This time I am playing with the (now famous) MUA Eyeshadow Heaven & Earth Palette.

And what a palette it is - if you haven't already got it - go out and buy it now. It is bargainous and has all the best colours!

I love this look. It's pretty, warm and sexy. I wanted to try a new look with the Palette as I am going on a break for a few days so I wanted to know what kind of evening looks I could do with this.

And here is the first one.

Do you like??

Any of you been creating similar looks?

I only wish that we had more sunshine so I could do all over bronze with gold shimmery lipgloss and bronzers. I fear it would be too OTT in this poor grey weather!!

EOTD - Monday Blues ♥

So here's another look I've created using the NYX Makeup Box. Slightly darker today... I named it Monday Blues because it's Monday and I've uesd the navy shade on the outside corner. Clever eh!? haha.

I'm really enjoying using this palette for other looks than my usual basic one shade look.

The shades I used today were the white on the top row, silver on the 3rd row down (2nd 3rd of the lid) and the navy on the 3rd row (outer corner and a little bit of the crease).

Oh, and I also lined the eyes on the bottom rim with the dark purple on the 2nd row down.

What do you think ladies??

EOTD - Purple Times ♥

Hi All,

Hope you are having a lovely weekend!

So here's a pretty simple look I wore on my eyes today that I wanted to share with you...

I don't know if any of you have the NYX Makeup Box but let me tell you - it's fab. There are so many fabulous, well pigmented colours you can choose for your eyes (as well as blush and lipgloss).

I used the top 3 colours on the palette from left to right.  Not in that order though.  I used white all over, then the pale pink on the outer 2/3's of the lid and then used the purple on the crease.

I think it's a really cute every day look that still has a little oomph without being too made up.  I like the burst of colour it creates, especially with my green eyes - the two seem to compliment each other.

Anyway, if you want to have a full look at the NYX makeup box you can here  - I've been loving using it since I picked it up at IMATs in London at the beginning of the year.  It costs £19.95 to purchase and is totally worth it.

Definitely going to try and use this box more adventourously as I tend to stick to same colours (does anyone else do this??) and I am therefore not making the most of it!!

Hope you like the look anyway!
