January 2011- The review

  
Hey gorgeous peeps!




New year for me brings lots of promise-A new me, a new body, a chance to right the wrongs from 2010...  

 I was doing so well until the lead from my camera broke on day 23. I was in the recording groove and had loads of ideas left to do but I couldn't do them-aaarrrrggghhhh!

 I immediately ordered a new lead and 5 days later it arrived and the race was on the finish my 31 days of videos. I completed it today with my Jan faves video

 My faves are:

 Mac strobe cream

 Mac Boy bait cremesheen gloss

 Rimmel stay matte powder translucent

 Sleek pout polish in Scandal

 NYX false lashes no. 129

My undecided: The eraser foundation by Maybelline in Ivory

My worst: Divine lip tar by OCC. Just for the colour mind....!

 My highlight of Jan 2011: Talking with Eve Pearl at IMATS

 My low of Jan 2011: Breaking my camera cable!

 My monthly resolution for Feb 2011: Research new skincare regime as I'm breaking out every where!

I hope you liked my January review and stay tuned to my blog for loads more coming up.

Jessie J 'Price tag' inspired video

For my new  VIDEO I was inspired by another of Jessie J's looks. She is fast becoming my new style icon. I love how she is more refined than lady gaga and just as experimental. This is the look I chose to recreate.

 I used Eve Pearl HD foundation, MAC's studio sculpt concealer in NW20, Sleek make up's safari palette, l'oreal super liner in carbon gloss, Max factor false lash effect mascara, Eyelure natralites eyelashes and duo glue, MAC's strobe cream and MAC's boy bait cremesheen gloss.

 I like that it's pretty but glam. This is my pic of it.

Hope you like it!

Hey guys,

 When you head out to Mac for the very first time then it is very daunting....and expensive!

 These are my recommendations for a first time Mac buyer in my latest video

Mac Face and body foundation

Fix plus

Vanilla eyeshadow 

Patina eyeshadow 

carbon eyeshadow 

Phloof! eyeshadow 

Painterly paint pot

Fluid line eyeliner in Black track

266 Brush

217 Brush

239 Brush

Let me know what you think but as ever check out what you like and speak with the MUA's they are all great.

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
