Video 18 of 31: Bronze goddess

 Hey guys,

 I thought I'd show you this bronze eye I created from the Sleek The Original palette in this video. I already completed my foundation with my Eve Pearl HD foundation before I started the eye. Once the eyeshadows were in place I used Molten sol liquid last eyeliner from Mac which is a lovely gold on the upper lash line and then Collection 2000 big fake mascara on the upper and lower lashes.

 To finish off i used Cheeky Bronze mineralised skinfinish natural on my cheeks and light and easy shimmering highlighter powder by Barbara Daly on the bridge of my nose, cheekbones and cupids bow. For the lips I used a slick of Maybellines coloursensational gloss in Naked star. 

 I hope you liked it. Just playing around on a tuesday evening....

 Big hugs

Video 13 of 31: Jessie J inspired make up

 Hey guys,

 If you have been in hibernation over the past month then chances are you have not heard about the next big thing in music. Jessie J hails from Essex and is a proud essex girl like myself. She has topped lots of 'ones to watch in 2011' and is currently steaming up the charts with her debut track 'Do it like a dude'. 

 My make up inspiration for this video  is from this music video which has a glam goth edge. I love unique make up looks so i had to put my stamp on it. 

 I have seen quite a few pics of jessie J now and I have serious make up envy. This girl has this seasons neon lips down to a t. She is definitely my biggest style icon at the moment.

 To get this look I used Face atelier ultra foundation in porcelain,Derma colour concealer,Barbara Daly shimmering highlighting powder, Avon supershock gel liner in black, L'oreal super liner carbon gloss, Avon lipstick in divine wine, Max factor false lash effect mascara,Eylure natralites eyelashes (trimmed and spiked) for the bottom and NYX lashes in 'side swept' on the top.

 You will certainly see a lot of JJ inspired looks in the future.

 Enjoy!

Video 12 of 31 : Paloma faith inspired

I love Paloma Faith. She is such an individual with her own eccentric, quirky style that makes her an icon. Her trademark liquid liner and red lips is quite traditional but with her straight,bushy brows and jet black beauty spots she makes it fresh and unique.

 I saw the headshot of this picture in cosmo and knew I had to give it a go.

 I used my trusty Eve Pearl HD foundation and concealer,L'oreal super liner carbon gloss in black, Mac's vanilla eyeshadow,Collection 2000 big fake mascara,Benefits eye bright, Avon super shock eyeliner in black,benefits Hoola bronzer, Rimmel 1000 kisses lip liner in red dynamite, Macs russian red lipstick and a red gloss by Primark.

 phew....

This is not a look you'd wear to work but if you want to stand out then this is the look for you. To see how it's done click  Here!

As always guys

Big hugs!

Video 10 of 31: My worst products of 2010

To accompany the best products of 2010 I see it fitting to talk about the worst.

 You will have to check out the vid to see my reasons for not liking the products.

 I talk about the Sigma F80-flat top synthetic kabuki, Maybelline falsies mascara, Make up forever aqua smokey lash mascara, Collection 2000 fast stroke waterproof liquid liner, Make up forever aqua eyes eyeliner and the Tweezerman eyelash curlers.

 These products are not right for me but I am sure that if you've tried them then they may work for you.

 Everyone in life is different-It would be such a boring place if we were!

 Big hugs

Video 9 of 31: My Make up room tour

Hey guys,

 Last September my husband and I moved out from our flat (with the lovely wall paper...) into a house. When picking our house I said I didn't mind what we had as long as I had a bath and a make up room. My husband delivered on both! 

 Sadly just as I was getting settled in we have to move again in March :-( so I will be on the hunt for another home with a make up room and of course I will show you when I do. Until then enjoy my little room of heaven here.

31 videos...

This weeks video stats : 20 lovely subscribers, 1 weirdo and 0 haters.

 Happy with that!

 Hey guys,

 You may be aware that last year I did the same series to kick off the new year. I decided to film and upload a video a day for the 31 days of January to give me a challenge and achieve something big in the new year. Well I did it and really enjoyed myself. I ended the month with what I purchased at IMATS and I will be doing the same this year.

 I didn't take the decision to do it again this year lightly as it is A LOT of hard work, rewarding but hard! Inspiration has flowed a little easier than last year and these are the videos I have done so far;

One- My favourite products of 2010
Two-  The Eve Pearl method
Three- Where do I put my eyeshadow/eyeliner again?
Four- Make up expiry dates
Five-Frankie Sandford 'Higher' inspired make up
Six-Frankie Sandford inspired hair
Seven- My favourite blushers
Eight-My neutral eye
Nine- My make up room tour
