Dark Lip For Saturday Night!



Evening all! Thought I'd just do a quick face of the day post. I normally don't go for a dark lip, but after getting the Makeup Revolution Lip Kit in Integrity, I knew I had to give it a go! My reasons for avoiding them usually is because I can look quite drained, but happily this one seems to quite suite me.

To start with, after my usual skincare I applied my The Ordinary Coverage Foundation, this applies like a dream and is not heavy or cakey at all. The coverage is medium to full, which is especially good for my spotty red skin today. Then I applied my Makeup Revolution Conceal and Define Concealer which definitely covers a multitude of sins. I'd heard great things, but I've been shocked at how well it covers my horrible dark circles, spots and redness on my nose. I then topped off the places that had concealer with a light dusting of my Maybelline Fit Me powder.

Next was my contour, and for this I used my Makeup Revolution Contour stick which is a lovely creamy stick with a contour colour on one end and matte highlighter on the other. Again, this applies beautifully and blends out easily. My blush is the barbie pink from the Freedom Pro Blush Palette in Pink and Baked. I used my Makeup Revolution Strobe Highlighter in Lunar to give some nice glow to my highlighter. Then for the brows and that is the I Heart Makeup, I Tint My Brows. I'm informed that this is a dupe for a famous high end product, but as I don't have it I can't comment. I can say that it's done a great job of filling in my brows.

I've been really looking forward to using my Makeup Revolution Reloaded Palette in Iconic Fever. I LOVE This! The pigmentation is beautiful and the shadows are soft and buttery. Look out for a full review in the next couple of weeks as I adore it. The mascara is my trusty Maybelline Master Rocket Waterproof Mascara, which has been my go to mascara for years.

Obviously my lips are the Makeup Revolution Retro Luxe Gloss Lip Kit in Integrity. Expect to see a full review in this one and the other two in the Glossy range as I've been super impressed with this too.

So that's all folks! It's nice to be able to be back to Blogging again and I look forward to seeing what every one else is wearing this Saturday night. Byeeee xx

My First Experience Of Stamping...

Image
I was really eager to get stamping away when my new plates arrived so I waited until my little girl Gracie was in bed and got all my nail things out. I have to say that I did think I was going to get it straight away and I got very frustrated that it wasn't coming out perfect straight away until some other people told me that you just need to practice a few times. I wasn't sure whether I should post the pics as it was a massive fail, but actually it's good for other newbie stampers such as myself to see what my experience has been like. So to start off with I had a little lap tray with all the equipment I needed and covered it with some kitchen roll as I'd heard this can get quite messy. Then I picked out a stamping plate, the one I chose was BM210. Next was to decide which polish I wanted to stamp with, well that wasn't too much of a choice as I wanted to use one of my new Konad Special Polishes and I only had them in black or white, so I chose white. ...

I have to admit, I found it a little difficult lining up the design on t...

ANOTHER Haul? Oooohhhhh Yes!

Image
Yes I know I've already bought an unusually large amount of nail polish in the last couple of months, but I just can't seem to stop. Is it an illness? Do I really need all of these different colours? Well, those questions remain to be seen, but what I can say is that I really want all of them and as I don't smoke, drink or really spend my money on anything else for me, (most of my money is spent on my daughter) I feel like this is one little vice that isn't too bad. Left to right, Castello Blue, Capriccio Blue, Incantato Purple, Romanzo Pink. I'll start with the Borghese . You may be wondering why I've bought four more polishes from this brand when I wasn't too keen on Milano Taupe, but the truth is, I'd already ordered these before I had even tried it! Hmmm, well I hope these ones have a more manageable, softer brush.  Left to right, Pink Opal, Moon Beam, silver Metal, Wild Orchid, Cherry Bomb, Red Passion.  Lets move on to the Hedy...
