Product Rediscovery, and a little update! :-)

Hi Ladies,

Gosh its been a while! But I'm back with a product rediscovery and a little update for you all! :) Over Christmas I've been moving house, and during the move I sorted through my makeup and decided what I wanted to keep and what was definitely past its sell by date! One product which hopped straight out of my dusty makeup drawer and into my handbag was this Stila convertible colour in Petunia.

This was actually the first Stila product I ever purchased about four years ago (not the exact one I'm showing you -I promise I'm not still using makeup that old!). If you've been following my blog for a while, you'll know that I'm a big fan of Stila products, although they're not widely available in the UK any more I have seen occasional things pop up in stores like Tk Maxx so definitely look out for them!

The Convertible colours are cream blushes which can also be used as a lips tints. Petunia is a really pretty pink which I find adds just the right pinch of colour to my cheeks in these wintery months! Its really well pigmented so a little goes a long way, and its a great product for the handbag as not only is it a two in one product but it has a little mirror inside too! :)

In other news, I had a lovely Christmas and New Year and I hope you all did too :) I did get a few beauty produts as Christmas presents which I have been enjoying so I'll hopefully do a post on them soon. I've really been enjoying watching dvd's at the moment and have been picking up a few cheap ones over the sales, two of my best buys have been Britannia High episodes 1-4 for £1.99 - bargain! Did anyone else watch this while it was on? So cheesey but my and my friend absolutely loved it! and The devil wears prada for £3.00 what a fab film. If you have any recommendations let me know!

And thats all for now! Hope you're having a great week, its almost the weekend!

Product Rediscovery: Jelly Pong Pong Lip Orchid :)

Hi Ladies,

In the interest of saving some pennies for my upcoming holidays, I've been tightening those purse strings and using up makeup items from my collection instead of going out and buying new products. In doing this I have found some absolute gems! Golden oldies which I had completely forgotten about, and even a few products which I had never even used (why I do not know!) like jelly pong pong's lip orchid in bouquet :)

This is a gorgeous shimmery peachy/coral pink. It is much more like a balm than a gloss and does not feel at all sticky or drying. I have been using this both on its own for a natural touch of colour to my lips or over a nude lipstick like elf's natural numph to really brighten it up and give a really fresh, summery look :)

In the past I have been left a little underwhelmed by jelly pong pong products which I think is probably why I neglected this for so long. All I can say is I'm so glad I rediscovered it and it is now sat in pride of place on my dressing table, also how cute is that packaging?!

Have a fabulous weekend :)

Product Rediscovery : MAC Paint Pot Indianwood

Don't you just love it when you find something you had completely forgotten about in your makeup collection and fall in love with it all over again? I do! This has just happened to me and the product in question is my MAC paintpot in Indianwood.

This was actually the first paint pot I ever bought! I remember swatching them all at the counter and I instantly loved the rich bronzey colour of this one, but after wearing it religously for a few days (standard with every new product) I found myself reaching for more neutral/wearable paint pot alternatives and this sadly got pushed to the dusty realm of my ''not worn very often makeup box''. Recently bronze/gold/brown eye make up has been my flavour of the month and after a little tidy up i came across this paint pot and wondered if it would work as a base under this sort of look. I dusted it off, popped it on my chest of drawers and applied it the next morning before work. Needless to say I have been completely wowed by the result! I think when I bought this I didn't really understand how versitile paint pots can be, This gives my favourite bronze and brown eye shadows that extra pop i've always lusted after, aswell as keeping them on all day! I've also used it as a gel liner with a liner brush, a tiny amount as a brow filler and it creates a lovely quick and easy look if applied all over the lid with a bit of black eyeliner on the upper and lower lash line :-) I'm so glad I rediscovered it! Have you rediscovered any little gems lately?

Before I go I just wanted to say a massive thankyou to Victoria for mentioning me in her share the love post, I couldn't believe it when I nipped onto my blog when I finished work and saw that I had so many new followers! (hello! *waves!*) thankyou so so much! If you havn't seen Victoria's blog before (I'm sure you have!) definately have a look she is doing a great contest at the moment, and has the cutest dogs ever!

Thats all for now, let me know if there are any particular posts you would like to see!

Speak Soon,
