New Sunglasses!

Ok, only a short post today as the 't' button on my Mac's keyboard has stopped working for no reason at all and I am currently copy&pasting the letter everytime I need to use it! Annoying!

So, with my new haircut I needed a new accessory to compliment the shape of the fringe and found these beauties on ASOS.com:

I've seen pairs like this on Gaga and Gwen Stefani - sooo of course I had to have them!

Sorry again for the short post, I'm going to try and sort this keyboard and you can expect a longer post from me tomorrow!

Bourjois Lovely Brille Lipshine - Review and Swatches.

First of all I think this lipstick is no longer stocked in stores BUT I bought mine online (from cheapsmells.com) for £1.99 each - which seeing as I usually pay anything from £5 upwards for lipstick, is a BARGAIN!

The only downside to online shopping is you can't test it on your skin, but at £1.99 I wasn't too fussed so long as the colour looked good to begin with, plus thats where I come in (for 2 shades at least!).

First up: 04 Rose Croisette

First of all I just have to point out what an amazing idea it is to have a mirror on the lid - genius!

The picture actually doesn't do this justice, it's quite a bright rose-pink that is shimmery in the light.

As you can see it comes out on the hand very light and quite sheer, so depending on how bright you like it you'd need to add a couple of layer to this.

However on the lips it actually brightens up and blends in well with the natural lip colour, also the shimmering come out giving it a nice gloss effect.

I'd actually compare this to a lighter, less thicker version of my favorite lipstick - the MAC Viva Glam Lady Gaga.

Next up: 05 Corail des mers

A nice bright red shade, this one does have that shimmery effect in it but you can only really see it in the light.

Shows up nice and bright on the hand but again if you want it brighter you going to have to layer up, which is great for a day to night look.

This one actually shows up great, it is a bright red however it's subtle enough for work or school and other daytime uses. I love my red bright but this is perfect for summer.

Phew!

That's all today, thankyou to all my new followers I really appreciate you taking the time to read my blog!

Also I've only just worked out how to get email notifications for comments so I'll be able to reply faster and easier now :)

Nyx Cosmetics - Foundation Review.

Nyx Cosmetics are the official sponsors of RuPaul's Drag Race season 2 - which automatically makes me a fan. I've been in need of a new foundation seeing as the humidity and occasional sunshine here make my make up just slide straight down my face - not a good look!

So being a huge fan of the flawless make-up and perfection seen on Ru Paul, all the contestants and drag queens in general I decided to give the Nyx Liquid Foundation a go:

First of all the bottle is plastic which is great for carrying around all day and on travels so no breakages occur.

Also I just love the pattern!

I purchased the colour 03 Buff.

I have very fair skin so I needed something very natural, it is also SPF 15 which fit perfectly for the summer.

Ok this is the half side of my face I DIDNT put the Liquid Foundation on, but you can kinda see it creeping up from the side I did put it on - already a difference.

Here is the side I DID put it on.

As you can see there is a warm glowing tone to it but still very natural.

The texture was almost mouse like which is great because you don't need a lot and it goes a long way.

It's very light and fresh which makes it long lasting and also perfect for any skin type.

The only thing that may bother some people i that it has a slight scent to it, you can't smell it once applied but can whilst applying (altho this doesn't bother me).

The Liquid Make-up foundation can be purchased from www.Nyxcosmetics.com and comes in a variety of 16 shades.

Today foundation - tomorrow - LIPSTICK!

Have great day!

New shoes!

So despite being broke (again!) I couldn't help but spend my hard earned wage on these AMAZING shoes in the River Island sale:

I love every little ounce of them! Infact I don't ever want to take them off.

Studs, stripes and a bow - what else do I need?!

I'm not a fan or sandals at all, not one bit, so these sling back mini-kitten heels are just perfect for summer time.

They were £15 down from £25.

Hope you all have had a great weekend, stay tuned for a beauty review post tomorrow!
