FOTD & Red hair = What eyebrows?

Morning everyone. I thought id do a FOTD as the lovely Jude requested to see the stila eyeshadows on the eyes.
I also did something a bit different as my dark brown eyebrows were looking too harsh against my red hair so instead of filling them in dark brown i used my stila Twig eyeshadow as a bit of an experiment and i really like the way it turned out. Giving a hint of red to my brows.

FOTD

Eyeshadows Barefoot Contesa, Jezebel, Champara & Espresso

 What do you think of the eyebrows? Yay or Nay?

 Mac Face & Body foundation, Mac Gingerly blusher & OCC lip tar in Hush Hush

I really like the way Mac Face & Body photographs it's one of my favourites. Any other recommendations for eyebrows with this colour hair? I'd love to know your thoughts girls xx

Stila Swatches !

At last my empty palette arrived from Ebay which i purchased to house my Stila eyeshadows that i brought in the crazy sale from M & M direct when they were just £1 each :)


So heres how they look now.

Swatches Top Row

Swatches Bottom Row

The shadows were swatched on bare skin.
Quality wise some are gorgeous and some are a bit chalky still for £1 each im certainly not complaining.
I'm looking forward to using these a lot more now they are all nice and neat in a palette. Although the pans are a tiny bit loose as its not magnetised.
I couldnt justify spending a lot of money on another z palette when they fit in this one and it cost only £7.50 including postage.
I love my neutrals xx

I find the eyeshadows buttery soft and so easy to blend. I cant wait for these to arrive.

This is the bargain of the month for sure buy them quick before they sell out here

Natural Looking skin & Stila

Today i thought I'd try out a few of my Stila Bargain buys that i brought from TK Max which i recently posted about. I'm really pleased with the results. I think this look is perfect for everyday and i don't think i look particularly made up but my skin looks nice and healthy without tonnes of product which is a nice change.

So on my skin i have stila illuminating tinted moisturiser with Laura Mercier concealer under the eyes.
 Mac Skin finish powder and a dusting of Mac Soft & Gentle on the cheek bones.

 I've tried out my new Stila Pencil on the inner eyes and just above the cupids bow on my lips. It really is a great pencil, so soft and creamy and it opens up my eyes without it being too obvious which sometimes can happen if i use white.

My favourite so far out of my purchases though is the shadow on the right Shade Sparkle. I wore it today and it's such a pretty colour and blends like a dream.

Stila Sale Bargain Buy!

Oooh i found a brilliant bargain today while shopping at TK Max. I found 2 sets of 3 stila products reduced down to just £5 a set. The products were sealed so i couldn't test or really see the colours but for £10 for 6 items i thought I'd chance it.
This has to be my best buy so far for 2011 ha.
For £10 i managed to bag myself all these :

SPF 30 Oil Free Tinted Moisturiser in medium 01
SPF15 Illuminating Tinted Moisturiser shade 02

 Matte Eyeshadow in Batura a dark purple/ brown colour.
Eyeshadow in Sparkle a golden taupe

SPF 20 Shine Lip Colour in Tina 07 a bronze/red sheer lipstick

Kajal eyeliner in Topaz which is a peach/pink soft liner which works on the inner rim instead of a white for an open eyed look.

I popped the shadows straight into my Z palette

First impressions of the shadows are brilliant. The pigmentation is beautiful and they feel buttery soft.
Do you girls have any stila products? I have only tried a handful of stila products before so i can't wait to try this little lot out.
