Friday Favourite

This Fridays favourite is something I own and truly love!
Ok so I know my last few lists are all Kiko but I can't stop raving about these amazing beauties. I wore this shadow as soon as I bought it in Spain. Photo below.




Ok how I did this:
All usual make up applied.
1. Used bobbi brown eyeshadow in banana all over lid for even colour right upto brow bone.
2. Applied Urban Decay half baked on lid.
3. Used Urban Decay smog in crease and top of lid.
4. Used Kiko shadow in crease at outer corner to give the darker effect you can see.
5. Also used Kiko shadow under eyes, just smudged a little under eye for a soft smokey look.
6. Eyeliner at top slightly winged - collection 2000 (liquid).
7. Kohl liner on lower lash line Kiko glamourous eye pencil.
8. Mascara - Lancome Doll Eyes.

I can see myself using this eyeshadow for a long time x

KIKO Cosmetics

Ok ok I went to the sunny Costa Del Sol for some sun sea and sand....and only I could stumble across this shop and find myself in beauty heaven!!
Rows and rows of pretty little polishes, eyeshadows, lipstick, blushers...everything!



You name it they had it! Here above is a picture of my haul and boy am I impressed with not only the quality but the prices too. The most expensive item was the mineral blush about 14 euros and the rest all under 10, polishes only 2.50 euros. Bargain!!
I picked 2 beautiful brown eye shadows, one very smooth and shimmery and the other packed with glitter particles that are just the right size...not too big so that you look like you have raided a little girls make up box. I actually wore that one straight away that evening along with the black shimmery glam eye pencil and was very impressed.
Other items include a lipliner, mineral blush which very much reminds me of a Nars style product with their finish, a mascara which I'm told is "blacker than black" I'll have to let you know about that:), black kohl pencil and some pretty nail colours perfect for me to embrace autumn upon my return!
All in all I very much enjoyed my holiday, feel relaxed and ready for autumn/winter and my new purchases will help me along the way:)x

Duty Free Diva!

Well a holiday wouldn't be a holiday without a little duty free indulgence right:)?!
The following items were bought from UK side duty free and a day trip to Gibraltar. The gorgeous DKNY White watch is me clinging on to that last bit of summer, the other bits...make up of course...lippies and eyeliner. Its my first Chanel lipstick so here goes! Reviews to follow.x

Perfect French

Nails nails nails! I'm mad on them as are most girls:) I get mine done regularly from a local chinese salon and love them. Mine are gel nails and i mostly get them done as a french manicure. I like how having them automatically makes you feel more glam not to mention well groomed. FYI I hate chipped nails be them French or colours!!!
I like having French in the summer or before a holiday as they never clash with any outfits:)
What's your favourite nail look?x

What the blush?!-Deep Throat!

Ok clearly I have a Space.NK addiction and you know what...I dont want to cure it:) Another weekend...another blusher. As you all know from a previous post my favourite blusher is Nars Orgasm...however with my new Chanel eyeshadow smokey and pink cheeks just wasn't working! I needed a whole peachy vibe...off I trotted and tried on this beautiful blush called "Deep Throat". Its a gorgeous peach with a hint on pink so all in all a beautiful fresh look. Nars blushers all give great colour payoff and give that flawless "look at my beautiful skin" finish! Colour swatch below.

Chanel paradoxal dupe!

As soon as I heard about this Chanel dupe (which has been around for a while...I was clearly slow off the mark:) ) I rushed out to buy it. It's a nail paint by Barry M called 'Dusky Mauve'. It's a beautiful purpley grey kind of colour. And shines different shades in different lights. For me it's the perfect autumn colour not too light not too dark! And best of all a steal at only £2.99. Applies very nicely and I found great coverage with just one coat, I still did 2 though out if habit! A definite "need" for every girl who loves nail colours x












How different it looks with different background colours and lights.

Lazy blogger

Lazy blogger...that's moi! I'm afraid I've been super busy and excited about an upcoming holiday hence the above photo! The was taken on a beautiful evening in Italy earlier in the year. Just because I've been busy doesn't mean I havent been buying lots of make up:) I just haven't haven't had chance to blog about it...but I will!
I'll be doing a few posts on holiday make up essentials, great travel products and "what's in my beach bag" so be sure to look out for those! And tomorrow the perfect Autumn nail colour a Chanel dupe!!!x
