Pro essentials: La Vaque Cufflette.

I have an eye for accessories, usually in the form of jewellery though I am super excited with this Pro palette in the form of a cuff.  It's not a sci-fi communicator, it does not 'beam me up' though La Vaque Professional Cufflette Palette shiny surface does allow for mixing hues to perfection and more importantly a good way to reduce cross contamination plus preventing my constant bugbear of smears on the back of my hand and clothes at the end of the day!

I haven't been wearing the cufflette but I tend to hold it as one would an artists' palette.

A decent size for mixing lip colours, foundations, concealers etc about the size of two credit cards.  

And it's not only a new addition to my kit but one of the many new products from my make up chums at www.cocktailcosmetics.co.uk 

Party Season Essentials: Glitter On!

I wouldn't say I was a 'glitter' kinda girl but when these popped up the other day I instantly thought I want to try this nail duo from Ted Baker Beauty; a wearable gold called Golden Girl topped off with a glitter fest, Totally Twinkie.

I applied one coat of the Golden Girl shade, which was quick drying and although maybe I should have applied an additional coat I quite liked the effect and would happily wear this one it own.

Then two speedy coats of Totally Twinkie with fast drying results; perfect if you've very little time to create impact to your LBD or as a gift idea or 

if like me you prefer accents of glitter rather than the whole shabbang then this is for you; a flash of sparkle!!
