This and that...

After seeing a recommendation I've just finished the first book in the Pretty Little Liars series by Sara Shepard was really good! I see there is a tv series coming here to the UK but to be honest I think I'll read the rest of the books first :D Friday tomorrow and then I'm off for a weeks holiday, I can't wait, will hopefully get lots of blogging fitted in for a change ;-)

Beauty Tip 6!

Lips! One of the most important things not just for make up but day to day, winter to summer we have to look after our lips. Always have a lip balm/conditioner to hand especially when it gets colder and lips can get dry and chapped (ouch). Before applying any lip colour you should apply lip balm to give lips some moisture, this will also help colour go on smoothly and stay on. The best way to find out what colours suit you is to discover if you have warm or cool skin tones. How can you tell? Well if you go through your make up bag and find two shades of make up (any make up will do blush,lipstick etc) find one that is slightly rusty/orangey in colouring then find another that has pinky/lavender tones. Rub one of each of the colours on both your cheeks and then compare both, one should look 'better' than the other..whichever works best will show your skin tone. Orangey/Rusty Colour = WARM TONES Pinky/Lavender Colour = COOL TONES This list below gives you an idea of lips

Review- Urban Decay

Urban Decay Ammo Palette I have been missing in action for a while, but I'm back. I'm slightly ashamed to say that this was my first urban decay purchase! I've heard how brilliant their stuff is obviously but never really managed to try any of it out. I have a voucher for a really good website http://www.lookfantastic.com/ so decided to go for this as the colours looked great. The packaging is really nice, very girly! As well as the 10 ahmazing colours you get, there is also a blending brush and their fabulous primer potion in this set as well. From the dark and sparkly oil slick, to the gorgeous and glowing midnight cowboy rides again, the colours are not only fantastic but the names are pretty cool too! This palette is fantastic, the colours are so variable and you can go from day to party in a sweep of a brush! The pigment is amazing, the only thing is that the colours are very very shimmery so if you are looking for something more matte I would maybe think about

Day off!

Am thinking of maybe doing some picture tutorials for my blog.. any news and updates to follow! Happy Friday! BF

Review MAC Mineralize Skinfinish - Petticoat

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish! Its taken me a while but I've finally gotten round to doing a review of this fab product.I had been desperate to get this when MAC had brought out there new colours recently but unfortunately like a lot of people I missed them and within a few days they were all sold out at my local MAC and online! :( So I had kindof gave up. I then had a look on ebay, I don't normally buy MAC or high end products on ebay to be honest because a lot of the time its fradulent etc. Anywho I decided to purchase this as they had my shade (petticoat) and I thought the cost was really reasonable £21.86 ($34.80 us dollars). This is actually cheaper than if I had bought it from MAC! I did have to wait a week or so for delivery but it was soooo worth it. The item was packaged really well and I was so happy when I opened it after a lot of inspection (lol) that it was 100% genuine. I used this on Saturday night for the first time, after applying my make up I just used a litt

Beauty Tip 4!

Instant Cheekbones! To make your face look a little more defined and gorgeous after applying your foundation as usual take a concealer two tones lighter than foundation and gently dab under each cheekbone. The effect is subtle but really works a good highlighter to make those cheeks a la catwalk :D
