Butter London makes you up!

It was a welcome surprise, not just to be blessed with more beauty gems but to receive Butter London cosmetics, a brand I've always considered to be one of the Great British ones and I had a handful of there products to play with!

I will fill you in on my biggest loves, the apricot shades from the Cheeky Cream Blush in Honey Pie and  Lippy Tinted Balm of Apricot Sunray which are simply smooth and comfortable for my fussy face.  However, they get far more exciting than my comforting colours - they turn a party into a fiesta with an intense splash of colour with staying power; purely playful, see for yourselves.

WINK CREAM EYESHADOW IN INDIGO PUNK

BUTTER LONDON COSMETICS

I am itching to try the cream eyeshadow for a night out, I just love the subtle reflections and texture.  Better still I should give all try, why not?

I love the 80's and anything that conjures up those days is surely a good thing. What do you think, would you where Pistol Pink eyes?

Beauty Palette Alert!

Try stopping me declare my love for Sleek Make Up and you may get cut down with an unfriendly glare because these Sleek Beauty Geeks have done it again and no doubt always will; bringing affordable make up in high quality (yes, some of you BIG brands should be ashamed of yourselves) and richly pigmented too in luscious 'pro-esque' palettes, namely with their new collection (out next month), Vintage Romance 141 for eyes.

Sumptuous shades that would suit the masses with a spectrum that flow from day to night, yes, even brides with a divine mix of silk finishes in golden taupes, modern muted pink hues as well as deep midnight blues and shadows of sheeny grey.

TOP TIP: I suggest you put a reminder in your calenders girls for 6th September 2013 because the entire collection of soft, romantic blushers and more will be sold out before you know it!

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!!

Party Season Essentials: Brush on Party Eyes!

Aha!  So party season is almost upon us and 'what to wear?' will be swishing around our heads sooner than we think but how do we make life easier from work to working the dancefloor?  

L-R Deluxe Crease Brush, Base Shadow Brush, Accent Brush, Pixel-Point Eyeliner Brush, Brow Brush all sat in a Panoramic Case.

Real Techniques Starter Set is a revelation ladies if you want to transform your daytime eye make up to something stratospheric with ease as its even all good to go with a slimline case; makes a good present too, don't you think?

  The brushes themselves are as they say 'ultra plush taklon bristles' therefore can pack a punch for dramatic eyes and brows, BANG ON TREND this season!  In fact....

the Base Shadow Brush is ideal to apply New CID i-colour, Long Wear Eyeshadows.  No excuses, go PARTYYY!
