Christmas Eve....it's been quite a busy day preparing for tomorrow but I thought I'd put makeup on before going for a walk with the kids to my Mum's house for mulled wine and a film 🙂 Tonight's makeup started with the PUR correcting primer that I received in my advent calendar, followed by Nars Sheer … Continue reading Christmas Eve Makeup
Day 23....Christmas Eve Eve!

December Makeup As I don't wear makeup every day, when December comes around and I have time off work and over the Christmas week when I don't need to rush around, I tend to take my time and have fun with makeup...using products I wouldn't use day to day such as glitters or intense colours. … Continue reading #MAKEUPMUSTHAVESCHALLENGE DAY 20
Top 3 under £5 1. Barry M Dazzle Dust Eye Shadow £4.59 (Boots) I have a couple of shades of these eye shadows as they are great for adding that extra sparkle to colours applied underneath.

Limited Edition! The limited edition product that I own is housed within the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette. Â I absolutely love this palette - it is great as a subtle day to day bit of colour/contour/highlight, or on top of full makeup to provide the intended 'filter' by hiding flaws and imperfections in the skin. It … Continue reading #MAKEUPMUSTHAVESCHALLENGE DAY 17

There is a time however when I have a massive beauty bag with me.....dance competition day! As … Continue reading #MAKEUPMUSTHAVESCHALLENGE DAY 16

15th December...pretty much half way through the month!  In box 15 was Rosie for Autograph's Lip Glossy in Supermodel Smile 🙂 It is a lovely dusky pink with a slight shimmer to it.  Although this is a lip gloss, it is more like a moisturising lip balm.  It isn't too sticky like some glosses … Continue reading 25 DAYS OF BLOGGING – COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS, DAY 15
