Upcoming Reviews

So I have a few new products which I must find time to review and there'll be lots more where these are coming from because I've finally found a job! I'm working weekends collecting glasses in a pub and while it's not the most fun way I can think of spending my Saturday nights it's not bad at all especially now I'm getting used to it. Having a job means I'll be able to buy all those products I've been lusting over for the last year or two! First up I want to make a Fyrinnae order, I need to try out their Pixie Epoxy after reading so many rave reviews and they've got some new eyeshadows and lip lustres which I want to get. Next I want to order some OCC lip tars, again because everyone is raving about them and because they come in such nice and unusual colours. There's a few other brands I want to try out over the next few months too- Sleek; Shiro, I love the Pokémon theme; Sugarpill; Aromaleigh; Illamasqua and and I'm sure there's more I've forgotten.

I'll soon have a review on Body Shop Polynesia Monoi Miracle Oil.

It's currently sitting in my hair waiting to be washed out in the morning. So far I can tell you that it smells amazing and I'll see in the morning if it's made a difference to my hair.

I bought some Boots 17 products recently which I'm planning on reviewing, I was impressed with them especially since they were so cheap. I also have some nail polishes due for a review. Coming up next though will be a piece on Fyrinnae lip lustres.

Beyoncé inspired FOTD

Inspired by the makeup in Beyoncé's 'Why don't you love me' video. I saw the video and was amazed- it's fantastic! I was never a fan of Beyoncé until recently but some of her newer songs are really good and I'm very impressed by her latest style and makeup changes, she looks good!

im not calling you a liar

Grr still no camera access!

Let me see, what news do I have?
I cut my hair. No one noticed.
Oh oh, remember the Topshop Sailor Cardigan I blogged about back in April? Well I finally got my hands on it, for only €18 too :D
I bought a pair of red patent shoes from Penneys. They're amazing.

My interview for the fashion course is coming up next week and I'm trying to figure out what to wear for it.

You can probably expect a post with my outfit choices soon and I'll try to get those Fyrinnae swatches up too.

part two

Oil slick and Kiddie Pool come next. Oil slick is a slightly shimmery black, it's one of the best black eyeshadows I've tried. Kiddie Pool isn't really my kind of colour but it's pretty and it does get a little use.






Then on to Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, my favourite UD eyeshadow (I like it so much I have three) and Flash, a bright purple similar to MAC's Parfair Amour. These two look great together!






And there we go!

Coming up next: Fyrinnae Swatches, keep an eye out for them!

NEXT!

Next up we have the Sustainable Shadow Palette. It's full of Urban Deacy yummyness and all packed up in a pretty cool box. It also comes with... UDPP!!


Mmm, look at that UD goodness.

Also the eyeshadows are pretty near to being the size of full single UD shadows, which makes this palette very good value. I think the single e/s are 0.5g and these are 0.3g.

As usual, click the photos to see them bigger.












So on to the swatches, right?

Starting off with YDK and Flipside. YDK is gorgeous, a very wearable golden-brown. It's golden, but not too warm toned so it should suit most people. Flipside is maybe a little more tricky. It looks great as an eyeliner on the bottom lid with something a bit more neutral on top.




















Grifter and UZI next. UZI is a glitterbomb, but if you can see round that it's a great colour. Grifter is nice, but not all that wearable for me. It would probably suit someone with less yellow-toned skin.




















Twice baked, a warm gold, and half baked, a rich chocolate. No wait, the other way around.





Things are getting a little cramped in here, so the rest is going in a new post

does this mean that im not alone?

Yeah yeah yeah, Calvin Harris is still occupying a large bit of my brain. Or his music is anyway, it'd be a bit scary if he was actually in my brain, you know? Cause I'd probably be dead or something. It wouldn't be cool.

But enough of that!
While browsing my photobucket account I found some swatches I did a few weeks ago and forgot to share with ye.

Let's start off with a bit of Urban Decay, shall we?


Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner pencils. These things are amazing. Seriously. If you've not tried then yet (what rock have you been living under?) you need to. Like now. They go on smoothly and evenly and once these suckers dry, they're not budging for no one. I can't reccommend them highly enough, especially Bourbon and 1999.

Included on top are a couple of Urban Decay's Heavy Metal Glitter Liners, which also rock! Mullet is my favourite, because it works with anything but they're all pretty rad. Top row is a few coats applied on top of each other, bottom is just one swish of the wand.

Swatched over no base. On (obviously) quite pale skin, I'm a 71 in Bourjois foundation and Illusion in UD, maybe an NC 15 in MAC?

Top, l-r:
Spandex Glitter Liner; Mullet Glitter Liner; Midnight Cowboy Glitter Liner

Bottom, l-r:
24/7 liners
Yeyo; 1999; Bourbon; Stash; Dime; Honey; Zero
