Gold & Bronze look

Hi there everyone, i just found a few photo of a post i was going to do but forgot all about so thought i would show you all.
I created this eye look by using pixie epoxy then dabbed on a lancome gold pigment which i never normally use then blended sleek DIRTY pigment into the crease.
Lined with urban decay 24/7 pencil and prestige my biggest lashes mascara.
It would of looked a lot better with falsies but i ran out of time .
This was a look i was practising for a night out but its not dramatic enough so i will have to try again maybe add some black to the outer corner & big lashes? What do you think?

Favourite Shampoo & Conditioner of the month



If you have fine hair which gets weighed down easily then this is the shampoo & Conditioner for you.
Organix Vanilla Silk . The smell is to die for, its a really creamy, naturally sweet but not synthetic vanilla smell.
I really feel like i'm pampering myself in the shower when i use this as the scent is so delicious. The smell is subtle once I've dried my hair and lasts for a few hrs.It leaves my hair really soft and shiny and full of bounce. Nicely cleansed feeling really clean at the roots but still nicely nourished at the ends.
If you like vanilla you will love this. The packaging is cute and easy to squeeze with a flip top lid and the price is just over £5 which i think is about average for a nice shampoo.
My hair is long quite dry on the ends slightly greasy at roots and very fine so i find it difficult to get a shampoo & conditioner to suit me. I am really pleased with this one and will definitely repurchase.
Next time you see this on the shelf open the top and take a long hard sniff it's irresistible.

SLEEK Palette looks


Hello fellow Bloggers. Yesterday i thought i would try out a few different looks with my 1st Sleek palette i ever got the Original one.
Because the last sleek look went down so well i thought i would try 2 different looks with this one. As you will see from my palette it is looking a bit messy but i love it to bits.
1st off my natural look with just 2 of the brown shades and the pale one as a highlighter.
This is not an unusual look for me but the sleek shadows seem to make an impact because of there gorgeous pigments and beautiful shimmer. Sorry it does not photograph great but you get the idea.



The second look is really out of my comfort zone as i don't usually wear so much colour but as the day went on i found myself really warming to this one.
It did help that my husband told me i looked gorgeous . (Bless him)
So i applied urban decay primer potion all over lids.
Then the purple over lids up to socket
bright blue inner corner
bright blue crease line
small amount of navy on top of blue in crease line
black outer corner
cream highlighter
Black liner in water line urban decay 24/7
the bright blue, purple and navy smudged under eyes
black mascara prestige biggest lashes & Natural falsies (phew )



Then i added a little flower just for fun.
I really like the way my skin looks in these photos it is a stila one which i had shoved to the back of a draw because it never had much coverage but my skin is looking so much better and applying it with a flat top brush made the world of difference.
Thanks for all your comments and please let me know if you would like any more sleek looks or are you getting bored of seeing my face lol. xx

Shopping trip bargains

Hi girlies, i thought i would share my bargains of the week with you all. I know we all love a bargain and this week i seem to have spotted a few nice little treats for myself.
Above PRIMARK goodies.
Grey leggings £3 (I had 1 pair already and love them they are so comfy and fit lovely)
Black sandals £8 they are so comfy i had to buy them
Leopard dress £5 thought it would be nice for summer



Scarf from accessorise £3 in sale. I have a bright pink coat and thought it would go nice with it. Also i have a plain black maxi dress so could wear this with it to jazz it up a little.

Bangles primark 50p a set so got 3 sets because the more the merrier with bangles

Necklace Accessorise sale £2

Primark ring £1.50

Then on to the beauty bits and pieces








BEEHIVE 17 lipstick
I have seen this on another blog and loved it. It is the most natural lipstick/gloss and really flattering £4.99 i think





Rimmel Foxy yes its so similar but only £2.50 on the market so i couldn't resist it is more matte than beehive as well











polishes from the market just a couple of pounds each

The one on the left SAFFRON was not for me so sent it in a swap already lol
The W7 one is gorgeous a lovely taupe shade which i am wearing at the moment






Altogether not bad for just over £35. But now i really must stop buying and use more of what i already have !!!!
