Fire Eyes.......

Hey girls I'm back with an eye look courtesy of MeMeMe Cosmetics.

MeMeMe have recently launched a number of quad and trio eye shadows for us to create the ultimate party looks aided by an easy step by step guide.....

For this look I will be using the fire quad and the eye sweep precision eye definer (liquid liner)

Left to right: Orange, Hot Pink, Rustic Red and Gold. I think the colours are really pretty and although they are subtle they have just the right amount of pigmentation to make a statement.

Oh and ladies if your like me and you only appreciate a true black liner I suggest you give this one a try, its so black!!!

Sadly as I'm not at home I'm without my make up brushes, but I'm not one to let something so minor stand in my way. Armed with my fingers, a cotton bud and my 4 step instructions I went to work.

Ant the finished look.....

Considering I used my fingers I was surprised at how lovely it looked, I cant wait to do it with a brush. The instructions are so simple there is no way you could go wrong.

MeMeMe Quads are priced at £6.50 , Trios are £5.50 and The liner £6.50

You can check out all the eye looks HERE where products are also available or you can head down to your local Superdrug store.

So what do you girlies think of my fire eyes?

30 Second Smokey Eye

I made this purchase after viewing THIS video on Glamours site. I am a sucker for a smokey eye, and to be honest I have probably already got an identical colour to this laying around gathering dust somewhere, but I couldn't help myself.

The shade 'Night Jewel' available from the Rimmel Glam eyes mono range, is perfect for the Christmas season as it has a touch of sparkle but not too much.

Swatched lightly with my finger, at first glance the colour pay off didn't really impress me. But when applied with a brush its a totally different story.
The colour is much deeper, and to be honest these pictures don't really do it justice. The deep metallic tone is perfect for those who may find black too harsh. I have slightly exaggerated the look so my annoying camera would pick it up,but when done subtly it gives such a nice definition to the eyes, especially if they are light in colour like mine.

How to achieve the look

1.Simply pat the eyeshadow all over the lid using an eyeshadow brush, the more you pack on the deeper the colour.

2. Then blend out the edges using a blending brush ( anything small and fluffy will do)

That's it, your done!

Collection 2000 Extreme 24 Hour Liners

If your a lover of a bargain, then this may just be another one to add to your list. Collection 2000 have jumped on the wagon of felt tip liners.

As well as your standard black, they have also added blue, purple and teal

The colours are bold, vibrant, fast drying and definitely have staying power.

Sadly the black isn't the blackest of black, but you can make the colour deeper by going over your liner twice.

I have been using the black shade for the past week and its safe to say it doesn't budge for a good few hours, and that's on my annoyingly oily lids. I actually quite love it! I'm too scared to try the others on my eyes, as when I tried to wash the swatches off my hand they left behind some lovely stains. So by that you can probably gather they are not going to budge either.

Oh and if you don't like the smell of felt tip, don't shove one under your nose like I did. The smell isn't prominent, but its there.

All round I think these are quite a bargain, you get what you pay for and I would definitely recommend the black just to carry around as a back up.

Ardell Fashion Lashes

When it comes to false lashes I always manage to look a tad draggish.(hands up if your with me)

I was sent these to try out,and I have done nothing with them as yet apart from have a little play around.

I had a bit of a play with the Demi Pixies.They look really nice on but from the side its rather obvious that those lashes are not mine.I really like the look of the Demi's,but I think the length is a bit to long for me.In saying that,I haven't actually applied them properly yet,and blended them with mascara (slaps wrist) Which I really need to do.I think the demi ones would look great with a full on smokey eye.

I haven't tried the fairies yet,but im planning to at the weekend.

Its not good enough to just sit in my room sticking them to my lids really,is it.

These lashes are 100% human hair and are priced at £3.56 they also come with a tube of adhesive.You can find the lashes HERE. Have any of you tried these lashes before?

Also.....

Can any of you give me any tips on the best way to make false lashes look more natural,obviously its kind of defeating the point of them being false,but Id rather a shorter fuller lash,than really full long ones.

I was thinking of trimming the length......is that a bad idea?

Elite Eyeshadow

I was kindly sent some Elite cosmetics from superdrug,so I thought I would do a quick post on one of the items which I have already used

Its a lovely 4 shade eyeshadow palette

The palette consists of a highlighter,a chocolatey brown shade,an icy iridescent gold,and a bronzy golden colour......

I have only used this once,but the colours are really pigmented and easy to blend,you can create subtle looks with this or a full on bold look

My favourite shade in this palette is the one I have numbered 3,as it can be used as a highlighter or a base,and has a really warm golden undertone,Im going to try using this on my cheekbones at Christmas,The thought of subtle highlighted dewy cheeks is sooo me

Il let you know how that goes.....

Have you used anything from the elite range before, what's your favourite eyeshadow?

4 Step Smokey Eye

Right ladies,Put your brushes to one side because all you need here is your fingers.Some of you may have seen this lovely look I created by luck....

I was asked to let you all know how I did it,so here goes...

1.pick a colour,any colour,as my look was created with only one

2.Rub whatever finger you are going to use in your colour of choice

3.apply the colour all over your lid,starting in the middle of your lid,as close to the lashline as possible

4.Blend outwards(cat like),as you do this the colour will naturally fade due to lack of product on your finger

Thats it,I told you it was really easy,and to prove my lazy way still works,ive just created these...

(storm palette)

wow my camera is really rubbish,I assure you im neither yellow or pink lol....

(graphite palette)

All colours are from the sleek palettes

Hope this has helped you all

L’Oréal Paris Lash Renewal Serum

(image by google)

Hey ladies,Just a quick post on the Loreal Lash serum,I have been using this for two weeks now

and I must say I am impressed

The tube contains a serum that by day,You wear under your mascara,and by night you wear on bare lashes and use the spongy applicator tip to treat the lash line

I do have a before picture,But like I said Iv only been using it for 2wks,so rather than have you squint at your computer trying to notice a difference,I thought Id wait until the 4 week mark

This serum claims to give you thicker bushier lashes after 3months of use,It does this by strengthening lashes,so they dont fall out,which obviously gives them the potential to grow as long as they can

I must say,after only 2 weeks of applying this stuff I have noticed a major difference.My lashes are definitely stronger,I havnt even had one fall out,Not even if I fiddle with them like I bloody do at times lol,Their glossier and i must say a tad bushier too

I cant wait until I reach the 3 month mark to see the results,if it keeps going as it is I think they will be amazing

This retails at £10 but when I got mine boots had knocked off £3,not sure if they are still doing it but you can check it out HERE

Have you tried this yet?

L'Oréal Paris Double Extension Renewal Serum Inside Mascara

I planned to get this a while back,but i just wanted to wait until it had done its rounds so I could get some feedback

Im planning on getting the serum too,but the boots i had gone into was so teeny,their make-up was practically non existant.This mascara has two sides.Step one is A serum enriched base coat with Arginine and Centella. Lashes feel fortified and nourished and step two An ultra-lengthening mascara for a lash extension effect. Up to 80% longer-looking lashes Spectacular lashes!

And in my eyes,I think the result equals amazing........

I promise to get a before picture up too,Its just that I wasnt planning on doing a post about this yet,But then I had to after I had used it

My lashes arnt stiff or crunchy and im loving the length this mascara has given me,I do believe the up to 80% lash lift has been delivered

And as an extra,the mascara has the serum inside so its actually treating my lashes,and making them look amazing all at once...

I love it,and i think my collosal will be taking a sideline for a little while

At the moment boots have knocked off £3 off the loreal serum and this mascara too,Every pound helps

Have you tried any of the new loreal lash products yet?

Psst guess what I heard

I was speaking to a lady today on a cosmetic counter, enquiring about lash growth products,and apparently there is no product that actually makes lashes grow.....

All the products do,is strengthen lashes so that they don't fall out,which obviously lets your lashes grow as they would normally would,But with extra strength from whatever product your using

I was so shocked to hear this......

I then went to purchase the new loreal lash serum,but then got distracted by all the make up that surrounded me,Next thing I knew,I had walked out the shop and forgot the serum

I hate it when that happens lol

Just thought id share that bit of info with you,i dont know how true it is,but if that is the case,we can all save a whole lot of ££££

Thicker lashes

So I was just sitting down fiddling with my lashes,and before I knew it I had pulled like 4 out,what the hell is wrong with me,If it isnt enough that some always come out when taking off my mascara,I then make matters worse by fiddling with them : (

My lashes are not really thick and long,Id say that their medium length and thickness,But I make sure I coat them in vaseline every night just to keep them healthy

All I really want is longer thicker lashes,Maybe im asking too much

If anyone has any tips,or tricks on how I can achieve this,please let me know

Maybelline pulse perfection

I was dieing to try this,as i was wondering if it would really would work.At the moment i am addicted to maybelline collosal,cant get enough,but it seems maybelline always steps up their game when they bring out a new mascara

So heres the before and after......

you can clearly see this is before lol

And after........

Its definately given me some serious flutter appeal,but it is one to get the hang of....

You control the vibration as you hold down the button to keep it on,and release to stop.Im not sure whether the vibration did anything apart from tickle my eye slightly,I dont think it helped seperate my lashes

I found its best to let the wand do the work,as the first time I attempted to join in, and my lashes stuck together : (

However,the second time I used it,I seemed to have got the nack (yay)

and I achieved nicer results

All in all I think its a nice mascara if you wish to achieve a longer fuller lash look

You just have to get used to the feeling of letting the wand do the work

I dont think it will replace my collosal though...

The pulse perfection retails at around £14

Have you tried this mascara yet? what do you think
