Face of the day

I can't believe what a lovely day its been today! I thought Wednesday was supposed to be the last day of summer for us here in London but today has been lovely and sunny!
I went out for dinner with my family this evening and this was the make up I decided on! I used Mac Style Snob eyeshadow again, I honestly love this colour, its just gorgeous, if you like brown shades I highly recommend getting this one before its gone!

Again please ignore the eyebrows, they are being tamed next Saturday!

Eye of the day, more love that look!

Like I knew I would I gave in and went and bought Strike a pose. Thankfully I can say I now have everything I want from this collection and can now stay away from MAC for awhile lol! But I am waiting for a couple of things to arrive from Illamasqua, I ordered a lip palette as its unavailable in stores and an eyeliner cake. I am hoping that the sealing gel comes with it as I have read on a few blogs that it does but it didn't say anything on the site.
Anyway on with the EOTD, I am having a bad hair today so no head shots!

I took the inspiration for this from DRBrooklyn730 video on youtube, I used Shroom on the inner corner & brow bone, Fashion on the lid, Strike A Pose in the crease, outer corner and under lower lashes and Fly by blu liner. I am shocked by how green my eyes look, I swear they change colour between blue, grey & green!
This picture is just showing my love for Nars orgasm blush, it gives such a nice glow! It is shimmery but if you tap the brush off and then really buff it in then I don't think its too over the noticable.

I am loving these starflash eyeshadows, they are so creamy and blend together so well, MAC really should make this formula permanent!

Love that Look eye of the day

Hey!

Hope averyone has had a great weekend! It has been so hot this weekend in London that i really wasn't wearing much make up but I wanted to do a look with my new starflash shadows, so here is my eye of the day!

Products Used:

Butternutty Shadestick as a base

MAC Hey eyeshadow inner third (Fafi quad)

MAC Style Snob rest of lid & Crease

MAC Smoke & Diamonds in Crease and outer corner

MAC Vanilla as highlight

Black Russian Pearlglide Liner upper lashline

Black Kohl pencil on Waterline

Loreal Telescopic Mascara

I really hope you like it! Honestly these shadows are gorgeous, they have such a nice finish and they blend together beautifuly. I have to admit I think I am going to go back and buy Strike A Pose tomorrow, I know I will just wish I had otherwise! Sometimes I hate working 5 minutes away from Selfridges, its just to easy to nip to MAC at lunch time!!

I was bad...my Love That Look Haul!

Did I say I was only going to pick up two things, really? I really should know myself better than that! I was won over by the display of pretty sparkly eyeshadow and had to get a few more! 6 items to be exact!! Thankfully there wasn't anything I wanted from Graphic Gardens or Baby Bloom and I already have a couple of things from Euristocrats 2 as the lipsticks are permanent in Europe.

So firstly the eyeshadows, I knew I was going to pick up Smoke & Diamonds and it really didn't dissapoint, colourwise it is similar to Sweet Sienna pigment and the taupe in the Earthly Riches duo but is different enough that I am happy to have it.

Next is Style Snob, this one really surprised me, I have heard it described as a pink/brown and I really didn't expect to like it but when I swatched it I fell in love! It's like a lighter version of Sable.

Lastly Fashion, I liked 3 blue/green shades but this one really stood out when I swatched it and I'm sure I will get the most use out of it. Strike A Pose is a gorgeous colour but I just don't think I would use it that much.

Then I picked up 3 of the Pearlglide Liners, I only intended to get Black Russian but when I swatched them I knew I had to get Rave & Fly By Blu as well! I really cannot praise these enough, they are gorgeous! I think everyone needs at least one in their collection!

Rave, Black Russian, Fly By Blu

So that was my haul and I am now going on an eyeshadow ban! Seriously my collection is out of control! I might do a blog sale at some point as I have so many barely used things that I am neglecting.
