Sparkly Green and Purple Party Eyes! :-)

Hi ladies,

Its been so long since I did a make up look, and I'm going out for a meal and drinks with some friends from uni tonight so I thought I'd be a little more adventurous with my makeup and share it with you all! :-)

I am going to wear a purple dress so I went for a sparkly purple and green smokey look. I think purple and green are two colour which can look really fab together especially if the green is a really vibrant emerald colour.



I'm really pleased with how this turned out, its colourful and eye catching but not too over the top :-)

To create this look I used :

  • Number 7 stay perfect eye base

  • BarryM fine glitter dust in number 9

  • Purple and green eye shadows from the original sleek palette

  • Number 7 metallic eye pencil in purple (upper and lower lash line)

  • Loreal voluminous mascara

  • Mac all that glitters eye shadow (tiny bit in the inner corner)

I've been using the purple eye liner from number 7 quite a bit lately, Its alot softer than the dark brown and black eye liners I normally use and that extra bit of colour seems to make my eyes look brighter and more awake!

Speak Soon!

Product Rave : Number 7 Smoothing and Brightening Eye Base

So, as I mentioned in a previous post, boots are doing their £5 off number 7 vouchers at the moment when you spend £5 or more in store (I'm not sure how much longer this is going on for!) and with one of my vouchers I picked up the number 7 stay perfect smoothing and brightening eye base. I think it normally costs about £7.50 so with my voucher I got it for £2.50 - Bargain! I had no idea number 7 did an eye base, I didn't used to like their products that much (i'm still not a fan of their eye shadows). However recently I have been pretty impressed with their liners, glosses and now this! Here is the eye base pictured below :


Initially I was a little dubious. the colour is a quite pinkish and I tend to prefer the more lemon coloured eye bases to even out any pink/red on my lids. However the base goes on a very light pearlescent pink which is actually very flattering! It is very creamy in consistancy, and blends easily. I have used this both to fix eye shadow (which it has done brilliantly - literally all day) and also to create a natural day to day look when I put this all over my lids then use an eye shadow brush (such as the MAC 213) to apply my MAC mineralise skinfinish natural to my lids asif it were a shadow. This is great for evening out the skintone on my lids and leaves me with that fab ''no makeup makeup look!"

I much prefer solid cream eye shadow bases and have never been able to get to grips with urban decays primer potion, or two faced shadow insurance. I can highly recommend this to anyone wanting to try an eye base for the first time, or just looking to try something new! its kindof tucked away within the number 7 counter so you may need to look quite hard for it!

Speak to you all soon!
