Parcel time!

I got a PARCEL today! I love getting parcels. Even if the contents are rather mundane, there is nothing better than getting an exciting parcel to open!

I had my Glorious Face and Eye Primer on back order, and it arrived today. Neatly nestled in purple tissue paper, I opened it to reveal some super duper cute packaging. I really thought the box was amazing! I've saved it to put in the special bag that Gee gave me <3

I've approached a super sweet friend who is an illustrator about logos and such for this blog et al. Can't wait! She's so clever, I'm sure she'll come up with something amazing!

 In the meantime, I've finally got a "new" phone (aka, my dear heart gave me his old phone when he upgraded - much better than my battered old S4!) which means better video/photo capabilities, and in conjunction with the cool ring light and tripod adaptor, I'm good to go! I'm already super pleased with how my photos turned out, and I haven't edited them or anything yet!

This afternoon I videoed myself doing my face, hoping to make a nice video ^_^ I'm no expert, but I would love to share makeup love with everyone! It's taken an age to upload, and I'm hoping to do one a week (that's my aim!) so keep your eyes peeled! <3

Since having the new phone, I finally managed to get Pic Collage installed. Blinking love the thing! Gee said I would - and she was right! Plenty of cute backgrounds and stickers, and it's so easy to use. Total win.

Well, I suppose I better get on with this video editing! Speak soon!

Try Out Time! Nyx liquid lipsticks

Love them! Well pigmented, easy to apply, soooo soft, and I love the colours. I prefer the feel of the Soft Matte Lip Creams over the Liquid Suedes, but only just!

The Soft Matte Lip Cream in Cannes will get a lot of use, and I think Amsterdam is a super happy red lip to have around! Stone Fox is certainly not a shade I would usually pick, but I think it looks pretty "arty" in the pictures.

NYX has hit Boots!!

I feel like I've been waiting SO LONG for this to happen!!! Nyx finally has a counter at the big Boots in town! SO EXCITE! I tried to have a look this afternoon, but it was bombed out, so instead I just went for the products I knew I wanted. I'll have a proper long browse another day!

I went for three Liquid Suedes, and three Soft Matte Lip Creams, a felt tip eyeliner, and a matt fixing spray.

Obviously! Did some swatches! First three are the Soft Matte Lip Creams, the last three are the Liquid Suedes <3 Can't wait to try them out properly! Try Out Time coming very soon!

Beauty Tips #1

I asked the lovely gals in the Pin-Up Perfect VIP Lounge to share their beauty tips (and of course I shared one of mine!). I thought it would be nice to share them on the blog, too!

Thank you, Hannah and Jade!

My tip:

Hannah's tip:

Jade's tip:

Nail Time - Model's Own Diamond Luxe

I really like this polish - it's SUPER shiny and sparkly! This one is Heart Red and is a really bold, bright red and full of glittery bits. The brush is great and really helps the polish go on smoothly and evenly, and the formula itself is quite thin and liquid, so goes on well.

The colour is extremely bright - make sure that you use a base coat! It stains your nails somewhat, and is much harder to cover up because it's so bright! I usually use Nails Inc Kensington Caviar base coat, but I keep seeing peel-off base coats online and they seem like a fantastic idea!

I topped this with my Nails Inc Kensington Caviar 45 Second Top Coat. This is definitely the most durable one I have tried so far, plus it's super glossy and dries quickly.

The July Kudos from Younique is a fantastic value bundle of summer themed beauties!

I've also got the amazing June Kudos set on its way to me!


It contains the Touch Mineral Liquid Foundation, Touch Mineral Skin Perfecting Concealer, Glorious Face and Eye Primer, and the Liquid Foundation Brush - everything you need to perfect your skin. My shade is the palest shade, Scarlet (definitely a vampy enough colour name for me), and it's a really great match. If you would like to find out which shade suits you, Gee found a totally radical questionnaire to help you - it certainly helped me!
