Urban Decay Smoked 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil Set

Hi everyone

My obsession with Urban Decay continues and I recently purchased the Smoked set of six travel sized eyeliners to compliment my Smoked Palette. These eyeliners are highly pigmented with great colour pay off and they are really long wearing - on me they lasted all day without ending up half way down my face, they are also buildable so you can wear a subtle look for through the day or build up some colour for something more dramatic in the evening.

From left to right we have Uzi a browny/grey with sparkle, Zero a matte black, Demolition a matte dark brown, Smog a pearly bronze, Empire a dark purple and Mainline a dark teal colour. I think that this is a great little set which would make a fantastic Christmas present. You can purchase yours from BeautyBay.com for £26.00.

Ciate Candy Shop Caviar Pearls

Hi everyone

Todays little surprise are Ciate's Caviar pearls in Candy Shop. My husband made me laugh because he asked what are all those little balls lying about on your dressing table ? Id had a little accident with the bottle !  I told him they are caviar pearls for your nails, he replied I dont understand why you would want to stick little balls all over your nails. Thats a good question which to be honest I couldnt really answer, em its in fashion I replied but honestly I dont really want to stick little balls all over my nails so there you go, the lengths us woman will go to.  I still aint feeling the love for the caviar mani, it seems to be a really popular craze, and I have to think, will we one day laugh at how we used to stick little balls to our nails in the olden days ha ha - does anyone have any solutions as to how to a caviar mani so it doesnt annoy the heck out of you???

Please share.

Glossy Box December

This months Glossy box was the Bejewelled Christmas edition which Im happily impressed with. The silver Glossy Box boasted a full size Seche Vite nail polish which retails at £9.95 on its own, a generous 70ml sized tube of Rituals Magic Touch body cream, a full size lipstick by Sleek which retails at £4.99, a Kryolan for Glossy Box blusher which is really highly pigmented, a sample of Mary Greenwell's Lemon perfume which I expected to hate because I dont like Lemons and two sachets of Argentum Apothecary's La Potion Infinie which I wish I could bathe in because Ive only used it once and love it already!

Ciate Power Dressing

Hi everyone

 

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. So whats behind door number seventeen ?? Its Power Dressing the most gorgeous deep blue nail polish I think I have ever seen. Power Dressing is amazing to apply and highly pigmented meaning this only needed two coats, it seems to dry in seconds which for someone like myself who seems to be perpetually in a hurry is just a god send ! I have recently purchased some of Ciate's Speed Coat which is their version of a fast drying top coat so keep your eyes peeled for a review on that coming soon.

 

A full size bottle of Ciate Power Dressing can be purchased from Ciate for £9.

Ciate Big Yellow Taxi

Hi everyone

 

I hope that you are all enjoying your weekend. Its day sixteen of my Ciate calendar and I feel I should issue a warning !! You may need your sunglasses to view the following pictures because todays colour is Big Yellow Taxi - Im a little lost for words and cant quite decide if I like this or not - it certainly makes a statement ! It took four coats to get a decent sort of coverage with this and then I decided to mix it up a bit with yesterdays colour Head Liner and Im still not sure !! I will let you guys be the judge.

 

If you love the yellow then you can purchase Big Yellow Taxi from Ciate for £9.

Ciate Headliner

Good morning everyone

 

Happy Saturday to you all.

Well its day 15 and disaster struck when I was painting my nails !! Yes I smudged !! Nothing too drastic but it means a bit of a tidy up which didnt take place before I took my pics today - yes ladies Im in a hurry so its just a quick post this morning to show you todays colour which is Headliner a gorgeous Turquoise shade which I think is pretty unusual looking and not really like anything else in my collection. My apologies for the shoddy paint work !!  I almost didnt get this post up today as Im literally rushing out the door but Im determined to keep my posts up to date !! Have a good day everyone.

 

Ciate Headliner can be purchased from Ciate for £9.

Lipstick Fridays Revlon Just Bitten

Im not usually a matchy, matchy type of girl and sometimes there's nothing better than to get a good colour clash going on but since the emphasis is on my lovely bright nails today I felt I should go for something with a hint of colour - but not too much, so Im wearing Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Rendezvous which is a gorgeous coral/orange tinted balm. These chubby crayon style lip pencils are easy to apply, glide softly across the lips and are quite pigmented. They are just the right mix of lipstick and gloss and I love the peppermint scent, and although they are quite glossy they last a fair few hours and wear evenly without any signs of flaking. I know that some people have found them quite drying but I havent found that at all - different strokes for different folks as they say and I seem to have eternally dry lips !!

What do you guys think of the Revlon Balms? Do you have any good colour recommendations?

 

Revlon is on 3 for 2 at Superdrug at the moment and the Just Bitten Balms can be purchased for £7.99.
