In and out 2 :-)

Hi all! I've got quite a few posts to do (I went shopping yesterday whoop!) but I thought I'd start off with my second round of ins and outs (I love these!)

In

Zara, I love this shop I've got my eye on some gorgeous long chunky cardigans they've just got in for the colder months to come!

Garnier skin naturals essential day cream - lovely stuff definitely comparable to cliniques moisturisers and there's no hefty price tag!

The sunshine! - Finally we're getting some summer weather!

The fame remake coming out at the cinema soon - very excited!

Out

Cheryl Cole's single, anyone else hear it on radio 1? Not sure I'm loving it right now but maybe its a grower.

My nails breaking - whyyyyyyy!

Desperately needing to tidy my room - I actually can't see for floor for clothes - bad times.

Sleeks dramatic eyes mascara, review to come, not impressed at all! (but I still love the eye palettes!)

Let me know if you've done your ins and outs I love reading them!

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!

Ebay treat - A NYX eyeshadow trio!

Hi ladies! I can't believe its sunday night already! Where did the weekend go?! This week I ordered myself a NYX eyeshadow trio from ebay as I wanted to get a few autumn coloured eyeshadows, It came yesterday and I am really pleased with it! I think it cost me around £6.50 with postage so not too pricey at all! Here is is pictured below, the shadows from left to right are frosted flake, slate and iced mocha.


I'm really impressed with these shadows and have worn them all weekend! iced mocha is great for the outer corner during the daytime, its dark enough to provide definition but has a lovely bronze/gold shimmer to it which doesn't make it overpowering. Slate is great for the crease and frosted flake is a gorgeous icey pink/cream with the slightest violet undertones. All eyeshadows are shimmer ones, they're quite similar to a few I've seen in the sleek palletes and of the same kindof quality, overall I'm very impressed :-)
Has anyone else tried any nyx products? I wish they were more widely available in the UK!
I have a couple more posts I'm hoping to do before I go to bed or tomorrow evening, one is a product rave the other is an blog award from the lovely Lucy at http://lucyxann.blogspot.com/ which I'm so chuffed to recieve!
Speak to you all soon!

Current fave lipstick/lipgloss combo!

Hi ladies! Hope you're all having a lovely friday evening! anyone else watching the big brother finale? (Sophie to win!) Anyways, I thought I'd show you a lip combo which I am completely loving at the moment, and it is MAC creme d'nude lipstick with boots number 7 liplicious lipgloss in marshmallow, Here they are pictured below

I've never really been a massive fan of lipgloss, i've always found the stickiness an issue (*cough Bobbi brown!*) and hate it when you get your lipgloss in your hair, ooo and when you're constantly licking it off your lips and it tastes like plasticine (ok enough lipgloss hating now!) However, I love the extra sheen certain glosses can give your lipstick, this particular number 7 one is a lovely pearly pink and gives creme d'nude a little extra pinkiness which I absolutely adore. The applicator is also really good as it doesn't rub your lipstick off when applying which I find the brush applicators can do, and it is no where near as sticky as other glosses I've tried (although it is still sticky - does anyone know a completely non sticky gloss? let me know!). Creme d'nude...what can I say, who doesn't love this lipstick! Its the perfect natural nude, not too light with the slightest warm peach undertones. Here are the two together on my lips, sorry for the poor picture quality.

Boots are doing their £5 off number 7 vouchers at the moment, so I've picked up quite a few things - Including this lipgloss and their eye base (I didn't know they did one!) which I will let you know how I get one with. I'm on the look out for drugstore nude lipsticks, can anyone recommend any? I don't want to run out of creme d'nude!

Have a lovely weekend!

Quick product rave - GOSH liquid eyeliner pen

Hi Ladies! This is a super quick product rave about the GOSH liquid eyeliner pen which I am absolutely loving at the moment! Here is is below

I am so so so impressed with this and dare I say it.....go on then I will I prefer it to its MAC counterpart, the MAC liquid eye liner! It has that great felt tip style applicator which I find the easiest to use, glides on well, dries super fast and literally stays put all day, untill you decide to take it off. I currently only have it in black but I am pretty sure GOSH do other colours and I'm definitely going to check those out! I think it costs just over £5, I got it on a recent GOSH 3 for 2 offer which you should keep your eyes peeled for as superdrug do them quite often! Overall, If you're looking for a great liquid liner that won't break the bank I can highly recommend this product.

Only 2 days untill X factor whoop whoop!

REVIEW - Illamasqua false eye lashes

Hiyaa!

So, I mentioned in my ins and out how I was loving the illamasqua false eyelashes at the moment, I'm actually loving them so much I decided to dedicate an entire post to them! I actually got these quite a few months ago when I had my eye makeup done by illamasqua and the lashes put on for a ball at uni. The illamasqua MA did a fab job, however these lashes have been rattling around in my makeup basket collecting dust ever since. Last weekend I decided to crack them out for a meal and drinks out with some friends and was reminded of how utterly fabulous they are! So, here they are in the box (please excuse the dust/makeup all over the outside of the box!)



I got number 019, which are one of the more natural looking lashes. Illamasqua have some fantastic big fancy statement lashes too, and there is a huge selection. Below is a closeup of my eye with the lashes on (it looks a little strange - I was literally looking out of the corner of my eye lol!)

I have naturally quite thick curly lashes and these falsies provided me with just enough extra definition. They feel comfortable and stayed put all night, and as yet *touch wood!* no lashes have fallen off them. Fab fab fab quality and I can highly reccomend these lashes specifically for anyone looking for a very natural but still eye catching pair of falsies. However they did cost £11.00 and are a little on the pricey side. Because of this, I am taking extremely good care of them and reserving them for special occasions not the kind of nights when halfway through i decide to peel of my lashes and drop them on the dancefloor (does anyone else do this?!).

Thats all for now folks!

Speak soon,
