Yay at Prescriptives

I've just mastered the art of doing a brown smokey eye using my new Prescriptives make up pallette 'Custom color for eyes and cheeks' in cool which comes in a very sophisticated, hard wearing silver compact (ideal for travelling, putting in your bag to touch up throughout the day etc). I am soo happy i've finally cracked the brown look as i usually turn out looking like i've been in some cat fight when i've previously tried to do a brown smokey eye. It's a shame i haven't got my camera to show you some pictures of it :'( The pallette contains 4 natural highly pigmented, very wearable eyeshadows - chiffon (26) - shell (25) - sunbaked (32) - fig (35), a highlighter which looks more like a bronzer - cool dark (20) and a blush - petal (26).
I bought this from the CCO for around £19, i'm not so sure if this palette is still available to buy elsewhere :(

The most wonderful packaging

Dear readers,
I've found some time to start blogging again - during my free lessons at college eventhough I should be cracking on with work but nevermind. I visited the doctor this morning and he has finally found out what is wrong with me after I've been suffering from aches and pains caused by these lumps that have appeared on my legs. I have Erythema nodosum >.< Anyway moving on.. I love how companies are now getting creative with their packaging. I just came across these unique face powders by the brand: 'B Never Too Busy To Be' which I've never heard of before until I browsed on asos.com beauty section. These blushers and bronzers range from £10.75 to £18.60. I especially love Paul and Joe's make up packaging ♥





Better get back to work now Zzz..
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend
Lots of love
Lisa~

O.P.I and Nail Art

It's about time I posted something!





(Hawaiian Orchid - A06)
I decided to try this pearly finish nail varnish in the most gorgeous light pink with lots of shimmer running through it. I painted about 3 coats to get this result and dragged the nail art nail polish's to create the 'zebra' like design. I must admit I am going to stick with Matte polish's in future ;) I'm too much of a Matte girl



Please excuse the tatty cuticles!
Don't worry I applied some SolarOil after taking this picture...
If your all in for nails then you should get a bottle of this oil which contains Vitamin E. It is brillianttttt because:
  • Lasts a long time (you can get many uses out of the 15ml)
  • Smells of yummy almonds ^_^
  • Non greasy

Lots of love
xoxo
