Eye of the Day!

Hey Beauties!

I have basically decided to re-brand my 'Look of the day''s as 'Eye of the Day''s ...as I think this is a more accurate description for what I am providing.

Who knows, maybe one day I can suck it up and photograph my whole face, but for now I'm just not ready for that.

So today I did a bit more work shopping, nothing special, but it was successful. Even came back with some lovely black high heel peep toe shoes... definitely for work (or at least that's what I'm telling myself).
But I thought I would share my make up choice.

I'm really into browns at the minute and I have rediscovered the Revlon Colourstay pallet I used in my Everyday Brow blog. It has really lovely shades and they seem to be so compatible with so many other eyeshadows I have. These shades worked really well with the gold (I am definitely a brown/gold aholic these days) 

I did regret one choice however - after I used my eyeshadow primer I then applied a creamy base in a burnished bronze shade (a really old Avon product I came across) - this seemed to counteract any staying power any eyeshadow had or indeed the power of my primer. I may be a little over dramatic, it wasn't sliding down my face or anything, its just creased and blended on its own accord, so my lovely eye makeup kind of did its own thing after a while. 

Will NOT be using that again! 

Anywhoo - hope you like it and hope you are all having a lovely weekend!

Emma Watson American Vogue Cover - Lip Look

Hey guys :)

First off I have to apologize for not posting in a while, my life has been pretty hectic moving around and seeing my friends (finally) after moving back home for summer.

On to the actual blog then. I was trailing around Boots the other day looking for lipstick, when I came across the Revlon counter. I suddenly remembered back to last months American Vogue shoot by Mario Testino with Emma Watson. The pale skin with that luscious dark glossy lip. The shoot featured various lip colours, but the one that stuck the most with me was the really dark plum/ cherry colour that I fell in love with. As it turns out Revlon have an amazing dark purple/red lipstick called 'Black Cherry' for creating this look (incidentally this lipstick is a perfect dupe for the new Estee Lauder pure colour lipstick in 'plum couture' which is £10 more expensive and far less pigmented.

To complete this lip look I first line the lips with a plum lip liner; I use Barry M's lip liner in 'plum' and then apply the Revlon lipstick and then top off with a thick layer of Revlons colourburst lip gloss in 'Bordeaux'.

To really be able to wear this look I suggest a pale skin, heavy brow and just mascara (if not with a nude brown shade on the eyelid just to warm it up a tad).

This look will be amazing in the coming Autumn and Winter Months and really suits us paler girls. Its right on trend and also wont break the bank.
