<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hello there my lovelies well it was my birthday on Thursday and I'm now 23 OMG I do feel old lol, and I was taken to Amsterdam as a surprise by one of my closest friends. I have to say Amsterdam is one of the most culturally beautiful places and has some amazing architecture. I had an amazing time and ended my birthday celebrations with a lovely spa day courtesy of the bf. </span></div>

York is such a beautiful city, with lots going on and and is the perfect place to catch up with friends. We went shopping during the day and I picked up lots of lovely items which I will show you in a separate post and then on to one of my favourite places of any city, Nando's. Later on the evening we headed into town for cocktails, one in particular we loved which was called a zombie which you set on fire to make the alcohol stronger and does pretty much what it says on the tin, turns you into a zombie lol. Really was the perfect weekend and I'm now onto my final week at work and the big move next month, extremely happy with life at the moment, what did you guys get up to at the weekend? xoxo</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sorry I've been vacant from the blogosphere recently, I've been super busy with the new move but finally got my apartment sorted and <i><b>WOW</b></i> I have fallen in love with the place, after all the stress it's caused I'm so excited to have somewhere to call home again, i'll upload pics for you guys soon. Plus, to make me smile even more, only ten more days at my old job and i'm so happy to be leaving and moving on to bigger and better things. This in turn, also means my blogging will be back on track very soon, it's so lovely to come online and read all your lovely comments they really make my day :) Now with it been the Queen's Jubilee on Tuesday and my last day at work tomorrow so an extra long weekend for most of us *insert beaming smile*, I decided to get in the patriotic spirit and paints my nails red, white and blue lol, using all models own nail polishes (yes I do have an obsession with models own polish).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hello beauties, now one of my favourite posts to read or watch on youtube are peoples lipstick collections, being quite the lipstick junkie myself there is just something about a shiny new lipstick that just puts a smile on my face, the lovely packaging and beautiful colours, and even the smell, hello YSL rouge volupte, yum! So I thought i'd share my collection with you, now instead of going through all my lipsticks as I own quite a few, I thought i'd start with my Mac lipstick collection. Now I currently own 14 of these little beauties all various shades and formulas but I would say nudes/pinks are my most go to shades and I love the cremesheen and amplified formulas as I find they don't tend to be as drying and are alot creamier than some other formula's. Now I know some of you may think 14 is alot and to others 14 may not seem many, but to me I just love the option of a different colour on a morning, and tend to change my lipstick according to mood/outfit, yes I did say mood, the brighter the lipstick generally the more chirpy i'm feeling that day, the whole you cant wear a bright lip rule during the day does not apply to me and I will wear any colour I feel appropriate to my attire or ever fluctuating mood lol. Now on to my collection :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hello beautifuls, seen as though the weather is currently scorching, I felt the nails definitely need brightening up. I was going to go for an orange/peach but instead I found an old gem in my nail polish collection in the form of jade stone from the Models Own collection, I decided to add a little glitter to the polish so added Models Own emerald city to the ring finger. I do love the models own polishes, they give a nice opaque colour and stay chip free for a good 5 days (using a top coat of course) and are fairly cheap at £5 a pop. However, boots and the models own website regularly have offers on where you can get them cheaper if you buy a few at a time. I would definitely recommend you try them out, I actually have quite the collection of these polishes now so if you would like me to do a post on these polishes just ask :)</span></div>

Just thought I'd share a few pictures with you lovely ladies (and guys). We were very lucky the sun shone for most of the day and no rain what so ever and so I've been told the weather is staying this way, which gets me very excited for summer. Think bbq's, icecream, sandles, picnics beaches and golden tans, wow excitement :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hello there my lovelies sorry I haven't blogged all week, been super busy at work and getting every thing ready for the big move next month. However, I did have a chance to pop to debenhams after work and pick up some amazing products which I will review for all my gorgeous followers. This is most definitely a product rave, as I am always searching for the perfect lipstick, the perfect nude, pink, red and so on and I have most definitely found my number one nude. I must own around 12 nude lipsticks and in my time I wouldn't like to count how many I've tried, but of them all this is my absolute favourite. Rouge volupte lipsticks by YSL are amazing, they are the most moisturising lipsticks I have ever used and glide on your lips like butter, they smell like watermelon and come in the most beautiful packaging of any lipstick I have come across, it's so amazing I'm reluctant to throw away the empty stick when I'm finished with it lol. I currently own 3 of these lipsticks number 7, 9 and 13 but this is my all time favourite. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: center;">Sensual Silk is a beautiful creamy nude with a slight pinkish tone, it really is the perfect combination of colours not too nude that you look like you belong in a morgue, or you've got concealer lips yak, but nude enough to stay out of the pink zone. It is extremely pigmented and will give even the most pigmented lips an opaque colour in just one swipe, as for staying power it does not stay on a lengthy period of time but I enjoy reapplying this lipstick that much its no task to me at all. The only downside to the product is the price, £23 is expensive for a lippie but for this little beauty I'd certainly pay it again. xoxo</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hello ladies you all have a good weekend? Well I got home from work today to find a huge parcel awaiting my arrival, in the form of the clear cube that I had purchased on Wednesday, so super fast delivery which I was very impressed with. All last week I have rushed home from work to see if my parcel had arrived, impatient much? lol, but this was definitely worth the wait. I fell in love with this makeup organiser when I watched the Kardashians and seen Kims beautiful make up storage sat all neatly in her bathroom and I knew I needed this in my life. I have ponded over this for quite some time as it is a luxury item and not something I really need but really really wanted and I finally caved and decided to purchase it. Its actually bigger than I thought and although expensive you can tell the acrylic is of a high standard and is an item that will last the test of time. I also received 4 free dividers with my purchase 2 x dividers and 2 grid dividers, If anyone would like the link to where I purchased this just send me an email :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now I am a huge fan of Urban decay 24/7 pencils and have a few that I love, but I am reluctant to go on a major splurge and get them in every colour, it's not that I wouldn't want to as they have the most beautiful colour range, it's just I find them expensive. Dont get me wrong a staple black eyeliner I will buy expensive as I will use this almost everyday but coloured eyeliners for me are something I only use on occasion, and I refuse to pay £14 a pop for something that I will hardly use. This little set contains some staple shades that can be mixed with any look, one black colour perversion which really is the blackest of all black eyeliners and 4 gorgeous metallic colours. I would honestly say these are some of the best eye pencils I have used and for £17.99 for this set you can't go wrong. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">These really are the most amazing eye pencils, they are so creamy and really do glide onto your eyes, dont tug or pull, are are waterproof. Now i'm not sure if they stay on 24 hours as I wash my makeup off before bed, but they do stay put all day, and for the amazing cheap price tag it gives you the perfect opportunity to get experimental with your bright shades for the summer without breaking the bank :) xoxo</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hello dolls, just thought i'd share with you this night time makeup look, I tend to keep my eye make up minimal on a day to day basis and swear by benefits eyebright pencil and a few coats of mascara. Eyebright is really an amazing product and with being abit of a nightowl and not getting to sleep till very late, and then being back up at the crack of dawn every morning, anything that can make me look more awake and less like the living dead is a god send lol. I decided to go for a classic heavy smoked eye and nude lip, I also skipped on any bright blush and stuck to contoured cheekbones with a highlight, </span><span style="font-size: large;">making the eyes the statement of the face.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now I know this foundation has been blogged to death but thought i'd give my two cents anyway. Foundation is a product I will only ever purchase by high end companys due to my sensitive skin and I haven't actually tried a drugstore foundation for a long long time, but with the hype surrounding this foundation and it been on offer in asda for around £5 I thought I would give it a go. Now I don't particularly have bad skin I very rarely have any kind of breakouts, I do have dark circles buts that's nothing my trusty Touche Eclat cant hide, yet I do tend to go for medium to heavy coverage foundations as I like the flawless finish it gives. However for work I feel my foundation is a little heavy and I have been looking for something a little more dewy and natural. I have been swayed towards Chanel vitalumiere aqua, and was going to Selfridges be colour matched this weekend and now i'm really happy I never as this foundation is amazing and well £5 compared to £31 for chanel an absolute bargain. I have used this foundation for around a week, and I can say I love it, it smells lovely, really fresh and fruity and gives just enough coverage so my skin looks flawless but it actually feels as if I have no makeup on, which is amazing. I love the finish of this foundation and </span><span style="font-size: large;">the slight </span><span style="font-size: large;">iridescence really makes your face glow, but not in a shimmery glitterball way, it isnt really noticeable on the skin it really is the tiniest flecks ever but It just helps give you that fresh faced dewy glow.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> I put this foundation on at 7.00 am and at 6pm when I finish work it's still there, perfectly in place, I do set my foundation with a powder but this has still lasted the test of time. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Combined with SPF 15 and pump applicator it's </span><span style="font-size: large;">definitely</span><span style="font-size: large;"> a massive thumps up to Rimmel on producing this little beauty.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> I do have dry skin and this is the perfect foundation for me, if you have oily skin this may not be the case, if anyone with oily skin has tried this foundation please comment below, it would be interesting to see how it has worked for you. Just for reference i'm a NC30 in Mac and I chose the shade 200 soft beige and its the perfect colour, however the next shade up is very dark compared to this so when im tanned I may have to buy both shades and mix them. Overall a great product for the price and I think this may just be my new go to foundation for daily casual use xoxo</span></span></div>Vanessa-Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09391713767213292446noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4857427389394656924.post-11895639513340152332012-05-06T13:57:00.003-07:002012-05-21T11:13:36.243-07:00OOTN<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hello ladies you got any exciting plans for this long bank holiday weekend? I just thought I'd do a quick outfit of the day post and show you what I wore today. I had originally just wore the dress and jacket, but I thought it felt too girlie and I wanted to make it a little more edgy so added long socks and military style boots. Now I love pretty feminine looks and Audrey Hepburn is one of my style icons, but I also love mixing different looks together and creating my own style. I like anything from boho to biker, taking inspiration from all genres, I think as long as you feel confident in what your wearing that's all that matters. I added a bright pink lip for extra effect with my favourite bright lipstick ever girl about town by Mac. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hello there dolls, FINALLY April is over and hopefully we can kiss goodbye to that awful weather. Don't get me wrong I love a rainy day when I can stay in my nice warm bed and laze about in my pj's watching a soppy chickflick with a hot chocolate, bliss! But unfortunately as I am working crazy hours at the moment and in the process of moving, I do not have the time for these kinds of days and instead need to brave the rain and cold and just hope that the sunshine will be back very soon. (Sorry girls I'm off on a tangent again, back on to the topic, YSL.) </span><span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">Now I think I can speak for all girls when I say I'm in love with YSL. Now it tends to just be one or two items that really catch my eye, but they always tend to be holygrail items that I cant live without, hello Touche Eclat. Now I have been wanting to try the Rouge Volupte lipsticks forever, so on my usual daily browse for new items I ended up on YSL website and decided to place a small order. Whilst searching for which colour lipstick to order I spotted a deal where if you spend £50 you receive a free YSL vanity case, as I tend to travel alot and am in need of a new travel case for my makeup, this was the perfect excuse to try another new product so I decided to try the blush radiance, I had already swatched this at a YSL counter a few weeks ago so I new which shade to go for, so the items I purchased are;</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hello ladies hope you all had a lovely weekend :) now I thought I would ask for your expert advice before I went ahead and bought these. I'm not sure if you are aware but the <a href="http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/_en/_gb/affiliates/ppc1.aspx?cm_mmc=LabeliumSearch-_-Google-_-TBSBrand-_-the%20body%20shop&tmcampid=4&tmad=c">Bodyshop</a> are having the most amazing sale at the moment, buy 10 items and get 50% off, thats correct 50% WOW. Now I have always been a fan of bodyshop products and find them of a high quality and although I have neglected their make up in recent years, their coconut bodybutter is a staple in my skin routine and the new chocolate one looks and smells AMAZING. I have a collection of Bobbi Brown and Mac make up brushes but I really want another set of lower priced but quality brushes to use while my brushes are being deep cleaned or as a back up set and I thought this deal would be the perfect opportunity to give these a try, but before doing that I thought I would ask you lovely ladies your opinions.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">Hello you gorgeous ladies as promised here is my Mac haul. Well I actually purchased these at </span><a href="http://www.debenhams.com/beauty/mac-cosmetics" style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">Debenhams</a><span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">, as they are having a 10% sale on all their beauty club award winners at the moment, which included my Mac lipsticks and blush :) there are however lots of other amazing brands included in this offer, including YSL and Bobbi Brown so its definatley worth checking out, I also picked up some non Mac items which I will show you all in another post. I thought I would start my haul with my favourite Mac product the lipsticks.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">The first lipstick I picked up is Shygirl. I would describe this shade as a peachy pale nude with a slight pink undertone. Shygirl is a cremesheen formulation so glides on the lips easily and even gives a slight glossy effect, I would also say it has a decent amount of pigmentation but two coats gets the perfect colour pay off. I definitely think shade will really compliment any one with a tan I'm a NC30/40 and I love this colour on my lips.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;">The second lipstick I purchased is Sandy b. I would describe this shade as a peachy/pink colour with a golden shimm</span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">er. It reminds me of my favourite blush of all time Nars Orgasm, but in a lipstick form. Sandy b is a frost finish, and really compliments tanned skin, its a lovely alternative with its frosty sheen to a conventional peachy shade and perfect for summer.</span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">I have saved the best till last, as you can see I'm very much into my peachy coral shades for summer, and the brighter the better so my favourite of the three was the shade Costa Chic. I would describe this shade as a bright coral, there is a slight pink undertone but its definitely alot more coral than pink. Costa chic is a frost finish but to be honest it does not seem like a frost at all I find it alot more pigmented and there is no frosty shimmer at all compared to what you get with sandy b. I know alot say this is drying and I have dry lips naturally but this does not dry my lips out at all, I think this would suit any skintone but with a tan its delicious, I think this will be my go to shade for summer.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 19px;">Eye shadow</span><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 19px;"> in Mystery. Now I picked this shade up purely as a eyebrow filler as my much loved Smashbox quad is on it's last legs and as I like my eyebrows darker than my hair colour and quite defined, the MUA recommended this shade. I would describe mystery as </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">a dark brown that has a mauve base, with absolutely zero warmth</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large; line-height: 19px;">.</span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"> It is a very cool toned shade which compliments eyebrows perfectly,as I had previously tried espresso as a brow filler and the reddish undertones shone through and looked very unnatural. Its a satin finish and is very buildable and blendable and boosts no shimmer at all. I think this could be great as a crease colour but for me it's purely for a brow filler and I would definitely recommend. </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Pan eyeshadow in Patina. Patina is a </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">cool-toned light brown with a multidimensional shimmer, it reflects an array of shades under different lighting, main being gold. Patina is a frost finish and is very blendable and buildable, I think it looks amazing as a lid colour with satin taupe in the crease but this can even be worn on its own as its such a beautiful shade and very versatile, in my opinion a staple shade.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Pan eyeshadow in Contrast. Contrast is a blackened metallic blue with a slight shimmer, it is a velvet finish. As I stated in my last Mac haul,I have filled my 15 neutral pro pallet and am working on a smokey pallete and this is the perfect smokey eyeshadow, it reminds me of a night sky. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large; line-height: 20px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">The pigmentation I would say is medium to buildable, and as its a velvet finish it blends well. This is the perfect crease colour for a more dramatic smokey eye or you can even use all over the lid, this is the perfect alternative to black or grey and will compliment any skintone.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Powder Blush in Well Dressed. As I am not a fan of majorly pigmented blush and overdone cheeks, so this is the perfect colour for me. Well Dressed is a soft pale pink with shimmer and is buildable if you want more colour, but I love the subtle glow it gives and it really brightens up your complexion.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">The Satin texture is very silky and blendable. I do feel this would look better on fair skinned girls as the colour will show up more but if you are like me and just like a subtle sheen then this would be perfect.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 19px;">Mac Eye Kohl in Smoulder. Now this is about my 7th purchase of this eyeliner and it is definitely my holy grail eyeliner. Smoulder is a very intense black colour, that is so creamy smooth it just glides on and gives the perfect colour payoff with just one stroke, its very blendable if you want to smoke it out and stays put all night. A beauty must have for everyone.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Tassle Skirt - on sale for £18 - This was a very random buy I seen it on the sale rack and was very unsure but when I tried it on it actually looks amazing these pictures do not do it justice and paired with a black cropped top I think it would look gorgeous, a very unique piece.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Foil Effect Skirt -£30 (i think as price part has come off tag) This item was another where once I had tried it on I was in love, this is very flattering on and the floaty design hides a multitude of sins.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Stripped Blouse - £10 - I have abit of an obsession with blouses atm and I loved this little number and for only £10, I would match this with some leggings and a blazer for a smart casual look.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Leopard print sleeveless blouse £10- I love the leopard print design on this blouse, just enough to be different but not enough to scream Bet Lynch lol!

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">White blouse with pink detailing £10 - Yet another blouse lol, I think I got abit excited with the £10 price tag but I love the simple design of this I think I would wear this with a black blazer and leggings and add some pink accessories to really brighten the outfit up or if i'm feeling particularly adventurous some pink jeans.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hello there girlies, I was doing a little bit of an experiment with my nails last night, me and a few of my beautiful friends met up for food and drinks and I was feeling particularly adventurous, so I created this look. I used Models Own Slate Grey and Topshops heart of gold (my new favourite gold) nail polish. I alternated the base colour on each nail and used a transfer to lap the second colour over the top at different positions on the nail creating this funky effect. I then decided to add a few gems on to each nail at the dividing point between each of the two colours, yes I know it is slightly tacky but I love them lol, at work I can barely get away with nude nails so when I am let loose and free to have my nails how I want, I like them as tacky as possible gems, glitter and lots of colour. Hope you like them :) xoxo</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Topshop describe this nail varnish as;</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"> <i><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;">Fast drying, extra long wear
with lasting glossy metallic finish and perfect coverage. Apply base coat,
apply two coats of colour and finish with glossy topcoat. For best results,
always follow these three steps.</span></i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have to agree, this
is definitely one of the best metallic gold nail
varnishes I have come by, it has a very crisp gold colour which
looks classy unlike some brassy/yellow golds you tend to get with cheaper nail polish,
hello Models Own 25 Carat gold. I love the quirky packaging and this stays on the nails for 3-4 days without
chipping which keeps a smile on my face and 2 coats gives an amazing
colour pay off, highly recommended. 9/10</span></div>

I have used two separate polishes to create this look,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">OPI Austin-Tatious Turquoise (Texas Collection)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">OPI - Gone Gonzo (Muppets Collection)</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Firstly I used two coats of OPI Austin-Tatious Turquoise, which is a blue/green shimmer with a purple undertone. This is quite a translucent and takes upto 4 coats for the perfect opaque colour, however as we are putting a glitter overcoat three coats is enough for a base colour. Below is with two coats. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Below is with three coats.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I then painted my nails with two coats of </span><span style="font-size: large;">OPI - Gone Gonzo, which is a translucent polish with a fine metalic blue glitter </span></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">mixed with large silver hexagonal glitter.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> </span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">The finished result :) Honestly the pictures do not do these colours justice the fine blue glitter really sparkles in real life which isn't showing up on my camera :( Whats your favourite OPI shades ? xoxo</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hello there my lovelies, hope you all had a lovely long weekend, I know I did, I have some outfit of the day posts to show you later too :) Well the postman has been this morning with a few little items I have ordered from Mac, I actually ordered these from <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/beauty/mac-cosmetics">Debenhams</a>, as over the Easter weekend they had a 10% off sale which made me a very happy girl.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sYhMVbnjfkc/T4WhsNOa1UI/AAAAAAAAAFs/pAgOcI1xq6I/s1600/SAM_2524.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="417" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sYhMVbnjfkc/T4WhsNOa1UI/AAAAAAAAAFs/pAgOcI1xq6I/s640/SAM_2524.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I saw this little mirror and thought this would be perfect item to pop in my handbag for touch ups, its actually a hardened metal not glass so wont break and has a cute little pouch to keep it in, and for around £4 which I paid I love it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vEJHmG7oWdI/T4V8xGvpYxI/AAAAAAAAAEY/5UwWZXyWma8/s1600/SAM_2488.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vEJHmG7oWdI/T4V8xGvpYxI/AAAAAAAAAEY/5UwWZXyWma8/s640/SAM_2488.JPG" width="434" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Lipstick in the ever famous Hue. Hue is a pinky nude shade, in a glaze formulation, so it takes a few coats to get alot of pigmentation, but this is the perfect everyday shade and I think this would suit any skin tone<span style="color: #888888;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">.</span></span></span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yLsExH3GDd8/T4V9nGJknRI/AAAAAAAAAEg/1CGKxhLJ0ic/s1600/SAM_2490.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yLsExH3GDd8/T4V9nGJknRI/AAAAAAAAAEg/1CGKxhLJ0ic/s640/SAM_2490.JPG" width="396" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">My second purchase was another lipstick in the shade Blankety. I would describe this shade as a beige, with a slight pink undertone. Blankety is an amplified creme formulation so is very pigmented but still has a lovely creamy sheen and although blankety is still in the nude family it is alot darker than the conventional nude shade so if you are not a fan of pale nudes which can wash some people out, this would be your perfect go to shade.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">The final but probably my favourite purchase was this beautiful lipstick in the shade Girl About Town. This <span style="background-color: #fefbf4;">is a vibrant shade of darkened, bright fuchsia pink, and an amplified creme finish, giving lots of pigmentation but also a nice creamy sheen. </span><span style="background-color: #fefbf4;"> </span> This is the perfect night time shade and for the braver among us a gorgeous summer shade, I will definitely be testing this one out during the day with a nice summer dress .</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"> icy shimmer.

This would suit most skin tones but I definitely think this looks better on those with a darker skin tone.</span></span></span></div>

Woodwinked is a veluxe pearl, it looks alot more bronze in the pan but upon application its a warm toned gold, without any of the usual yellow undertones you get with gold shadows. L<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">ooks lovely either all over the lid or in the outer corner blended into the crease.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">Pan eyeshadow in mulch. Mulch is a velvet finish and is a gorgeous brown bronze, it is known to have a slight red undertone however this does not show on my complexion. As this is a velvet so not overly shimmery makes a great crease colour for a smoky eye.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have now converted to my eyeshadows in pan form, I have a 15 shadow pallet which I love instead of having single shadows everywhere and also a quad which I find sooo handy to pop in my four favourite eyeshadows to suit any look. I have now filled my neutral pallet so am going to work on a bright/smoky pallet do any of you gorgeous ladies have any must have colours in mind? xoxo</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter :) Now I thought I'd share with you a few of the Model's Own Glitter Nail Polishes I purchased just after Xmas, now I've never actually had a chance to wear these, I've been so busy with work and other boring mundane tasks that my nails have been nude or darker nude or grey and other even more boring sequences of that, now don't get me wrong I love a natural nude nail, but there is something about bright colours and glitter polishes that makes me smile :) The shades I have are:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">All of these colours need 2 coats to get a a nice opaque colour, this picture really does not do them justice (I am working on getting a new camera I promise) they are beautiful colours and the glitter is very fine so they apply really easily and even. I would have to say emerald city and juicy jules are my favourite and you can also use them to create glitter tips. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Has anyone else tried any glitter nail polishes from the Models Own Range? Or has a beautiful glitter polish they would recommend? xoxo</span></div>
