Pink a Pink any pink

Welcome to February everyone!! You've successfully made it through the doom and gloom of the first month of the year. I hope you've all managed to keep your resolutions I shall have to update you on mine later this week.

Recently I've become obsessed with lipsticks and managed to find a shade that:

a) Suits me
b) I can wear everyday
c) It didn't cost me an arm and a leg (hooray!)

Pastel shades are a S/S must have and I treated myself to a pastel pink. I chose Barry M as I've heard lots of fab reviews about them. I did also read that the colour doesn't pigment so well but this has done wonders for me and I'm a happy lady! It's shade 150 called Pink Suede.

For £4.50 you can't really complain the colour goes on easily, doesn't dry your lips out and looks great on warm toned skin. On my skin tone it comes up as a warm neutral pink...See for yourself!

What's your favourite lipstick shade?

Have you tried a Barry M lipsticks before?

I spy with my little eye.......

E.L.F- Eyes, Lips and Face which sounds all to familiar/similar to Makeup, Art, Cosmetics! Well done to whoever came up with the name because you must be a lover of all things M.A.C too!


After coming across E.L.F and how similiar their brand name is to M.A.C it was only right to check them out! It's probably fate that I did because they're giving away a free gift on all orders over £15*!!


Recently, I've decided that I enjoy working with make up so much that I am going to start doing more makeovers on my family & friends to get better at it and eventually maybe even take a make up course with my BFF!


So...for this reason I've been looking in to make up brushes to practise different techniques and for 15 whole pounds I realised I can get more than a few make up brushes as some are only priced at £1.50 each. Plus the fact you get a free gift which is supposedly worth £15 and not available in the UK yet. Although they may not be the M.A.C of make up brushes for perfecting my technique they are defo worth the money! I already have basic eye shadow brushes but I've never invested in fancy looking ones to create smoky eyes or colouring in the crease around your eye. 

So here is what I've ordered:

• Eyeshadow C Brush
• Small Smudge Brush
• Smudge Eye Sponge
• Eye Crease Brush
• Angled Contour Brush
• Blending Eye Brush
• Cream Eyeliner - which comes with an angled brush.

I paid a total of £18.50 with delivery! Plus I get a free gift worth £15, I hope it's not make up brushes.

I'll post photos of the pretty eyes I create with my new kit! 


*If anyone else is interested in taking up this free gift offer it's available until 28/11/11 and the codes are
