After posting the Video, I got quite a few comments and messages from people saying they really liked my make up look. 

 So, I re-created it today.

It is a very rich mossy green look that can be easily emulated, just find some greens you have and play around with them. 

 It's a great look for Autumn. :)

The lovely Kate (who made it) and Leanne nominated me for this award.

 How sweet is that? 

 I'm so glad i make you smile!

I'm definately going to be passing this one out.

- You have to put a song that makes you happy :)

- You can tag as many people as you want, there is no limit :) 

- Say at least one thing about each blog you tag, that will make them smile, something nice about their blog that makes you smile when you read it! :)

And thats it, pretty simple. 

The song that brings sunshine into my world every time i play it is

Keyshia Cole ~ Please Don't Stop.

I love this song so much...the acoustics, melody and ofcourse her voice. I just want to get up and dance when i hear it! Simply Amazing.

 Now here are my Sweet Sunshines...

kandee the make-up artist 
I absolutely love this Kind-hearted soul to bits!

Suzannah is such a beautiful girl, with an even more beautiful heart.

I came across this photo of Kimmie on her website and was instantly inspired to recreate the look. 

She writes on her website:

After reading that and seeing the photograph, i just had to recreate the look!

Oh Em Gee!

I love this nail varnish!

It's the Maybelline Forever Strong in Midngiht blue!

More Blue! hehe

One Coat of midnight blue

 I find that this colour is not as rude as black nail varnish. It is still as edgy, but with a bit more class, i think.

Apart from the strikingly beautiful colour, the texture is also very brilliant! I was able to apply it very easily, no mess no fuss.

It does say on the packaging that it lasts up to 7 days, so i'll update this post with more on that!

If you've ever tried it, what are your thoughts??
Or can you recommend a similar product/brand??

I'm now of to enjoy it and possibly record a video of stuff i've purchased recently! :D

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Kisses,

Shirley

I created this look using the eyeshadow quad that was part of the maybelline goody bag we got last week!
 I absolutely Love it!

Smoky Indigo

Surprisingly it was quite pigmented and easily blended!

The step by step guide that is on the back of the palette is great for those who are not familiar with colour placement and or just starting out with makeup.

Brushes used (All Mac)

239 ~ Lid
217 ~ Crease & Outer corner
275 ~ Brow bone
219 ~ Line & deepen lower eye lid
224 ~ Blending!

I used the L'Oreal super liner, Gosh Blank Ink eye liner and the Collosal mascara.

I wore the Ambre Rose lipstick that i've been going on about since the day (..part of the new Colour Sensationel range of lipsticks) and glossed it over with the WaterShineGloss in Crystal Rocks!

Ambre Rose

Crystal Rocks

My face was the usual...MACs MSF foundation and Format blush! :)

I would definately recommend the eyeshadow quad and the Lippy!

Kisses,

Shirley

Last Thursday, myself and a bunch of other beauty bloggers made our way down to the L'Oreal HQ in Hammersmith to attend the Maybelline event that was much anticipated by us all (...judging by all the posts, tweets and convos leading up to it! haha!)

Here's a pic i took of them with the Manager of the Illa Counter...

Illamasqua's New Collection Preview Event

So i'm sure you've already come across a few posts about the above subject!

Yes...! Last Thursday an event was held by Illamasqua to unveil their new collection Dystopia! Now when i tell you that I absolutely Love this collection...I'm being serious!

Just waiting for Pay day...then i'm off to treat myself to a few things!

I need in my Life:-

~ Shadow Palette in Purple

~ Android Pigment

That evening I met up with a few beauty bloggers at Leicester Square, where we began our journey to the Restaurant/Hotel/Bar in Soho, where the event was held!

We were kindly welcomed by Alex Cummins (Who I have to thank a great deal for putting the event together) and were served some drinks and appetisers at the reception.

Nic & Sam (Pixiwoo) and I

Tali and I.

The wonderful Artistic Director Alex Box showed us some magic as she did a demo on Lydia.

It was brilliant!

She is extremely talented!

During the Demo she explained the concept behind the collection...

Where the dark meets the light. Monochrome shades build and blend, brought alive by flashes of intense pink and lurid purple, while dazzling pigments, metallic textures and iridescent finishes all add to the drama of this strikingly uncompromising look. As the nights grow longer, bring your alter ego out of the shadows and illuminate your individuality.

We were able to swatch a few of the products in the new collection and they kindly gave us Two items of our own (...although, some people deemed it neccessary to nick stuff...! Didn't your mama teach you better?? The Drama on Twitter was oh so hilarious!) and an envelope with £20 to cover all travel costs. How generous!

Anyway, I got the Static Pigment and a black eyeshadow that Nic (Pixiwoo) kindly agreed to swap for a Pink Lippy (..that I had tried on earlier and was wishing would be in my goody bag! lol)

Afterwards Richie, Pixiwoo, Gale, Pandalovesmakeup and I headed for drinks! That was fun...Richie has some footage in his vid!

We then made a last minute stop at Westfield and did a little bit of shopping...haul soonly!

All in all, the event was fab and i totally enjoyed myself. I was able to put voices to tweets and also meet the fabulous bloggers i've been following for ages!

Met new ones too! :)

Here's My Vlog...

Hope everyone had a great time regardless, and a great Big Thank you to team at Illamasqua for holding this event and to Mizz Worthy for letting us all know about it on Twitter!

Feel free to take the pictures...but i'm sure you already know to credit the owner...right? good!

xoxo,
Shirley
