Gorgeous Swarovski elements!

Hiiii! Sorry for the delay in posts! Been super busy O.o
I'm heading for a distinction star in my coursework although im pooing my pants for the practical... where I have to act as a transfer rep and do a big speech and role play in front of the class and teachers... (just a little secret - I stutter, forget what to say then laugh my head off and usually end up facing the wall doing a presentation).. Yet I can catwalk in front of many people :s I guess its because I don't have to speak there, I usually get told to zip it... :P

I went on a business trip last week to an airport for a conference and to meet different departments and see some of the equipment they use. I wore a red dress with a loose blazer over the top and black tights. If your from England, we all know its been pretty windy! That dress went straight up to my armpits while I was at the bus stop! D: I practically ran from the bus station to college attempting to hold my dress down. -.-
(sorry for the bad quality image, i didn't use my good camera)

Below is a picture of the a piece of security equipment airports use:
I don't no if 'scanner' was suppose to be spelled as 'scanna' but moving on....

we also had a really nice day out at center parcs with my family and cousins
we went bowling, then off to the boathouse and I asked for 'the two canoe things joint together', they knew what I meant ahaha :D When I was trying to get into it I stepped back and stepped in a deep puddle thing that someone had dug right near the the lake -.- resulting in me emptying my shoes on the boat, we didn't no how to go forwards or turn. It would be safe to say people found it very funny, I mean is is that funny seeing someone empty all the water of their shoes? Okay maybe it is ;) it was probably like watching an episode of Chuckle Brothers or something! Then we walked up to the foresters in and had dinner, went back to the boat house and me and my cousin got a pedalo :) Then we went to the swimming pool, must be just my luck I got squashed between a few 'very large' hairy men on the rapids -.-  I couldn't breath and had to get out for a while. 

So this post is mainly about a piece of jewellery I was sent, I chose this one because its so simple and most of my jewellery is weird, in your face or really big. So I picked something minimal but beautiful and eye catching.
The item came really nicely gift wrapped - this is perfect if your looking for a present for that special someone, whatever the occasion! Inside is a black leather looking box with a plain card sleeve. the pendant is wrapped in black tissue paper to prevent it getting damaged in the post.



This is not my usual jewellery as I said before, but when it comes to dressing up I don't no what jewellery to wear so this will definitely come in handy! 
The necklace pendant can be easily worked into daytime outfits, evening and occasions but this piece really sets it apart from others. This has a beautiful glow  from the unique yellow diamond tone Swarovski Crystal Element. It has a big Swarovski yellow diamond tone crystal element which is circled by a 14 carat gold plated ring which has 30 white diamond tone Preciosa Czech crystal elements! Each of these has been hand set in a single course. The chain is also very pretty, I haven't had one with that sort of chain before, its very thin and sparkles with a lovely glow.
- free delivery world wide
- arrives to you in presentation box and gift wrapped

You can get this necklace here for £22!

What do you think of this jewellery? Would you wear it? Think its even great for mothers day?

Aces Laces #1

Hii! sorry ive not posted for a week or so, I've been so ill! Literally only got out of bed to go to the toilet or to get a drink for about 4 days! missed 2 days at college and a day at work... Now my dads ill! -.-
As you may no already, I did enter the competition to win the ipad mini last month and did pretty well and suppose to be entering this month too... But I'm SO impatient D: it hasnt come yet and the competition closes at the end of the month and I can't enter until my box arrives; so yeah ... Come onnnn box!!! Get your giddy up! :D
So got some catching up to do ahaha

I was sent a little package from Aces Laces 

containing 3 packets which were opaque and had surprise shoelace designs in. Aces Laces have series of shoes laces which people order and have no idea what design they have until they open them
The idea of the packets being opaque is that people collect, swap and share them. You could use them in your shoes, football boots, ice skates, I have friends that turn them into bracelets etc.

I opened the first packet to find a white sparkly pair, these are super cute! I'm not sure whether to put them on a pair of my boots, or even my new pair of sparkly converse shoe things - because... A girl can never have too much sparkles ;P I saw these shoes on sale and I thought they looked weird, took a closer look and though I'd actually wear them in the summer :D

Social Links:

Have you seen these products before? what do you think of this pair? would you wear them?

Please could you do me a favor? :) Please watch this YouTube video and 'like' and comment on it - on the actual link under the video. It's for a competition that ends at the end of the month, please help me out (share it on your social media platforms etc) and I will be more than happy to return the favour! :D

Mehron and Sarah G cosmetics makeup look!

Hi!!!
guess what?! I made dinner today for my family... yes that's a big deal because I can't cook, but I can cook some Italian dishes so that's what I did :) I can bake pretty good too so I did a rocky road cake for dessert #yummy :) I don't think i poisoned anyone either so its all good, accept for burning my finger - which ive got in a glass of icy water as I'm writing this post!! :P

Just a quick update too... I didn't win the 'box of omg competition' but I got messaged from them saying it was a close one though, which makes me feel a little better I guess ahaha. I will be entering again though when I get he next box so please help me out again, I'm very grateful to each and every one of you who 'liked, shared and commented' the the video entry! :D

To the post! I have created this eye makeup look which I think is pretty simple and easy for you all to do. I've done a picture tutorial for now but I will be filming tutorials too which I will upload to my youtube channel. I have a few nail art tutorials already up and I'll also be doing special effects ones so if any of that sounds good to you, please subscribe to it :)

This is a combination of Mehron's velvety smooth E.Y.E powder eye shadows and Cheek powders. They never cake or crease! They blend really nicely and super evenly so you can create dynamic eyes and vibrant cheeks goon enough for the red carpet, on screen and stage - these products are actually used for that so you know that if this stuff is worn by people who are super concious of their looks, they can't have it fading, creasing or looking cakey, then you will look amazing too! This product came with a brush which I love because it's so soft and flexible. I got this from Treasure house of makeup.

This is the Precious Jewels eye palette from Sarah G, it has a mix of rich jewel colours which are super blendable and pigmented. You could wear a single colour or create your own look! It came with a tool which has a brush one end and a smudger on the other so basically you have everything you need to use this pallet!

I started off by using the lightest shade from Mehron's eye/cheek pallet and I brushed that across the whole of the eyelid. I then used the white from the Beauties Factory pallet to apply to the inner part of the eye and a little underneath - this also helps your eyes look more awake! Then I used the purple shade from Sarah G and applied to the crease, then applying a thin line under the eye with the blue from Sarah G pallet too. I din't apply too much of any of these products I wanted to add a more glamorous look with some more products without looking caked in makeup.

I struggle to use the brush which comes with the eyeliners so I used the one above and dabbed a little of eyeliner fluid onto it. I applied that above and into my lash-line, following my bottom eye line up to do the 'wing', I didn't want that to be too dramatic so I didn't bring the 'wing' out to far. I then used a Mehron Kohl eye liner to line the water line. I got out my Precious Gems powders (which I love!), applied the Opal one to the inner corner of my eye to the center - it has a lovely sparkle, but not too much. Then I applied the Amethyst shade into the crease and towards the wing and blended it in. Finishing off the look with Max Factor WILD MEGA VOLUME mascara.

I now aplologize as my camera battery died so I had to switch to using my iPod camera
I did this look right before going to bed so I only had enough time to do one eye ahaha! However I think you can see how much bigger this eye makeup look makes your eyes look! It's nothing too dark and it's super easy to do! :D

If you want to get any of the products from above you can get them here:
Beauties Factory eye pallet - £25.99 (comes with pieces leopard brush set)
Mehron's precious gems powders - £6.85 each. (previous review here)
Each product I listed I really like, they are all long lasting, bright and pigmented colours which can be used to create endless makeup looks. :)

Social links:

 
I could have pulled a pretty face but ohh well :P Oh and if you like the lip colour it's a Mehron one from TreasureHouseOfMakeup :)


Do you have any of these products? What do you think of this makeup look? Do you like this makeup?

you can take the girl out of the country but you can't take the country out of the girl!

Hiii! So I'm trying to get the blog back on track, what with me starting at my new job and aiming for a distinction at college. Its half term holidays now though :D ... still gotta work a couple days but oh welllllll O.o But my mum said shell take me to the shops so I can spend my first months wages when I get them >.< I'm going to get a phone on contract - mine is literally ready to retire, I've dropped it sooo many times yet the screen has never cracked, the sound is fine... But the camera has fell off?! whut?! and it keeps ringing people too, like ill be at college talking then go to check the time on my phone to see its been on call for like 5 minutes -.- #embarrassing so yeahh it needs replacing now ahaha. I want to get my parents a little present too, or take them out for a meal or something :)

I was going to write this post tomorrow but I'm going to be busy then so I'm writing it now before I go off to bed. I think from now on I will be blogging at weekends, or maybe Tuesday afternoons but don't worry I wont stop blogging :D










Country Girl is a brand that I had been interested in for quite some time now, at college everyone is from towns or cities and they say I'm a country girl because I live in a teeny weeny village in the countryside. Well 'you can take the girl out of the country but you can't take the country out of the girl' . There are lots of products I love the look of on this site from hoodys to t-shirts to personalized apparel and they all have a 'country' theme running through them. Country Girl is now a sponsor / collaboration of FashionFixHunter's - as you can see their widget on the blogs side bar :)

I received some products from Country Girl, including this perfume. I am one for fancy bottles, and the boxes too, often not wanting to throw the boxes away! The bottle is heart shaped with golden writing on and rose tinted liquid. Its just a really simple but pretty bottle. The perfume it's self isn't my usual go to - I usually opt for fruity, sweet perfumes. This one however is quite subtle, just enough scent to be noticeable but not to much to be all up in everyone's nose holes!

Here is the parcel and what came in it, I'm going to save a couple of things for another post :)

I got a pink hoody with angel wings on the back, believe me I am stocking up on my hoodys! It is sooo cold! The hoody is super soft, it has a double sided pocket on the front to keep your hands nice and warm >.< I love angel/ kind of spiritual things so when I saw this hoody, I loved it! :) The wings are printed on the back, but they do similar angel wing products where the wings are covered in rhinestones etc.

If you like the look of the perfume you can get it here for $45.95 now $19.95!

I have tried to find the link for this exact hoody on the site but struggling to do so, but there is one in black here, for $36.95. I will post the pink ones link if I manage to find it :)

Country Girls Website
Country Girls Twitter

Do you like this hoody? Do you have anything from Country Girl? What do you think of the Country Girl products?

P.S.

Please could you do me a favor? :) Please watch this YouTube video and 'like' and comment on it - on the actual link. It's for a competition that ends in a couple of days, please help me out (share it on your social media platforms etc) and I will be more than happy to return the favour! :D

University of socialites


Heyy! I'm going to start off by apologizing for the little delay of posts, I'm aiming for a distinction star at college and I have just started at my new job so it's been pretty hectic! I mean, my nails have been naked for about 2 weeks now!!! :O I haven't had them naked for that long since I was about 14! I will be painting them tomorrow though as I can't get into college so I will do some coursework and record a new nail art tutorial for one of my YouTube channels ( - I'm new to all that stuff on YouTube so I'm getting use to it aha :P The last nail art tutorial I did was a simple and basic snow leopard print one. )

I have been meaning to put this post up for the last couple of days but hadn't had enough time - I don't like to rush any post if it about someone, a brand or something I like etc :)

I got this parcel from 4ItGirls - I love many of their items for sale, celebs wear them (like Katie Price!, Caggie and Gemma)  and they are just lovely, I'm sure you will see why!

The first item was a beanie hat which is nice and soft - no itchy material. The inside is pink and the outside is a bluey black with a big pink pompom. I like this hat because you can wear it on properly or it works as a slouch beanie too - Which is how I wear it. I have actually wore this to college, which I have never wore a hat to college before, I just don't really like them in general to be honest :/ but omg! I really like this one and the best thing about wearing a beanie like this is when lorries drive past, my hair can't all go up in the air!!! :D

Yeah.. There's me and the beanie ahaa
For some reason I was channeling a Miley vibe and wanting to stick my tongue out :s

The second product was this blue hoody, I loveeeeeeeeee it :D
On the back it has the 'University Of Socialites' along with two studded hearts. The front has 'It Girl' printed on it. I love the arm of this hoody too, which has a sequin 4. The hood has a silk lining and the hoody its-self is fleece lined so it all cosy and warm >.< 
I would have said the hoody is quite long, but I have a shorter body and daddy long legs which make up my height - so I think maybe its a normal length.. Oh and I know this is a pretty random thing to comment on, but the lace tie things on the neck have metal tubes on them - I much prefer these than others as they tend to fall off and then the laces start fraying.  
This hoody will come in handy for the Easter holidays when I am going away to a VERY windy place! Layers and jumpers are a must. I'd pair this with a pair of skinnies and high tops... I'm wearing my tartan pajama bottoms at the moment but I thought they looked funky anyway ahaha 

If you like this hoody you can get it here for £48 now £38.40!!

Do you like this hoody? Do you have anything from 4ItGirls? 

P.S.

Please could you do me a favor? :) Please watch this YouTube video and 'like' and comment on it. It's for a competition that ends on the 12th February, please help me out (share it on your social media platforms etc) and I will be more than happy to return the favour! :D

Take a walk on the wild side...

Hiiii! How are you all? Just a quick update on the last post where I said I had an interview... I got the job :D It's somewhere super nice - a woodland holiday destination, and its a lovely place to take photos and I just love it there :)

back to the post, I am loving animal prints at the moment.. Well actually I always love animal prints. I often find myself wearing animal prints and not even noticing, like at college a use a Dalmatian print bag, shoes with leopard print on, tops with leopards or tigers on, my new edition was the lion leggings and now....I got these lovely shoes from SkyScraperHeels

These shoes have leopard print faux suede material. They have the zips on the inside, which I much prefer them there than on the back of the shoe.
 I love studs and spikes and the back of the shoe has lots of gold ones! 

You can dress these shoes up, I think they would look gorj with a black dress, or you can dress them down with a nice pair of skinny jeans! The platform blends into the rest of the shoe and I find them comfy and super easy to walk in so if your not so keen on heels then try these! 

The big cats are making a comeback in fashion, or did they ever actually go out?
I don't think they ever will go out of fashion because they are so versatile, they can look sweet, edgy, sophisticated or glamorous - it's how you wear it that makes the difference!

Now, you can wear it without looking like you are crazy, I'm not going to name and shame any celebrities right now but believe me. There are plenty.

A good way without being OTT is to go for accessories, sunglasses, handbags, shoes to spice up an outfit. Rosie Huntington Whitley is rocking that bag, Kelly Rowland has a basic dress with leopard wedges to give her look an edge and I love Fergie's outfit too!

If you like these shoes you can get them here for £24.99 now £17.99!! *in sizes 3-8*

What do you think of these shoes? Would you wear them? Have you got a pair like this?


P.S.

Please could you do me a favor? :) Please watch this YouTube video and 'like' and comment on it. It's for a competition, please help me out and I will be more than happy to return the favour! :D

Your gonna' hear me Roaaaaaar!

Heyy! Hope your all well! I don't usually put a post up on Wednesday's as I'm usually at college but I didn't go today as I had a job interview. Oh my god. I get sooo nervous for interviews it's unbelievable! On the way there I felt sick one minute and my head was hurting the next and then when I was in the interview I felt so lightheaded! I actually don't no why though, because I catwalk in front of audiences, and interviews are just me and them? Oh well :s

Ive had lots of exciting parcels I will be posting about so keep an eye out! One of them was this...
Can you guess what it is? :D 
The clue is in the title...
Well, it's from Mr.GUGU & Miss GO.
I came across this clothing company on the internet and was very intrigued as they sell many unique products that I hadn't saw before.
'So… Mr. Gugu makes you a dream candidate for the future we dream about. He makes you the cutest child of the age to come. And Miss. Go rules over him just as every beautiful woman rules over her brilliant husband. They both will show you what is worth wearing not only today, and not only tonight, but tomorrow and the age after tomorrow.'
The times have changed, we've often rewound the clock since our grandparents got a shock when they listened to the rock. In olden days a glimpse of inscription on a t-shirt was looked on as something shocking; but now, it seems, anything goes. Designers no now that only using the simplest ideas can make you look stupidly the same. 'The world has gone mad today, and good is bad today, and black is white today, and day is night today.' Personally I think the designs are so crazy, they're cool.

The material on the product is quite thin but very strong and flexible. 


Did you guess it right? They are Lion Leggings! :D
Now I hate disco pants, when I see girls in them I think they look a little horsey -.- 
And I'd saw printed leggings on the internet or on shop shelves and just thought, 'they are well weird'. Like I saw a blue pair with silver chains printed all over them, but then I saw them on my friend and I thought they were actually really nice! :) Then I thought I would try out some printed leggings, I am a fan of animal prints etc so I picked the lion pair. When I took them out of the bag, again I was a little stunned because they are so in your face. 

I went and tried them on and I really really like them! Behold, the full length sparrow legs...
I paired the leggings with some black wedge trainers with a faux fur trim. The leggings have so much going on, I think they look best with minimal detail else where, like black shoes and a plain top. I also have a lion bracelet from hottt.com that goes nicely with these! You can see it here.
I also got some of these Mr GUGU & Miss GO badges :D

If you like these leggings, you can get them here for only 29Euros

What do you think of these leggings? Have you got a pair like these? Would you wear them?


P.S.

Please could you do me a favor? :) Please watch this YouTube video and 'like' and comment on it. It's for a competition, please help me out and I will be more than happy to return the favour! :D

bobble hat, bobble bobble bobble hat

Heyallll! Hope your all okay :D I was back at college last week after the Christmas holidays, Guess what?! It was like the first time I haven't been told off on the Tuesday >.< ... Instead another girl got told off and she ended up walking out and going home, If only I lived near college I could do that when the teacher won't leave me alone ;) Oh and I said to one of my friends that a guy in the cafeteria has nice hair, that's all I said! Then she said when we was going up to class that she thinks he's in the class a couple of doors down. Only he was stood outside our class looking out the window on his phone. Then the rest of the girls decided to be stupid when we was in class, they ran out and asked him what his name was. Then staring at him through the glass on the door... He ended up sticking his head through into the class and asked if he was in trouble?! And then all the girls started being even more stupid. Like what the hell, I simply said he had nice hair and they all start being goons. Thanks -.- That was the first embarrassing thing that happened when I was back at college, I seem to be prone to being clumsy, doing stupid things and being embarrassed -.-

Well I will get onto the post now instead of babbling on..

BritFash is a new online destination for established and also emerging British fashion brands.

All of their brands have been handpicked by their skilful curators allowing you, the customer, to interact with some of Britain’s most talented and dedicated designers. Our quality checks ensure that you will always receive nothing but the best in British design and innovation.

I received this Laguna purple bobble hat from BritFash...
The hat was a little different to how I imagined it to be... On the website the hat looks quite big and it wasn't actually that big - which is a good thing! I noticed the quality of the hat straight away. 
I mean if I compare this to a standard bobble hat I had like the one below

This bobble hat looks nice, but the wool is pretty hard and not as flexible. The hat is very thin so its not the best protection from the harsh winters! I had resulted in not wearing knitted hats because I find them itchy (this was was particularly itchy).

Whereas the Laguna purple bobble hat is super soft, made from laguna yarn with cable detailing. I added a picture to the collage above of a closeup of the hat - 
The hat has been finished off with the Stone Union Logo at the front.

The spotlights in my room are a little bright but there is the hat on. I love it! But I decided to give this to M as shes has chemotherapy and now radiotherapy so obviously she has lost her hair and this is a great gift for her as it's so soft and everything she would really appreciate it (M say's thank you to BritFash too) :) If I was going to wear a bobble hat, I would wear this one! 
BritFash stock these in a range of colours like: Black, white, blue, berry, grey and oatmeal.

You can get this hat here for £49.99 now £24.99
If you are in Britain then the worst of winter has yet to come, hurry up and get an amazing quality hat that will actually keep you warm!

What do you think of the hat? Do you like it?

P.S.
Please could you do me a favor? :) Please watch this YouTube video and 'like' and comment on it. It's for a competition, please help me out and I will be more than happy to return the favour! :D

Yellow Polka Dot nail tutorial with optional bows

Heyy! :D
I'm back at college tomorrow *boooo* I actually don't mind college I just don't like that days teacher... I constantly get told off. I mean I know I'm a bit immature, I like to have a laugh but I always do my work, the other teachers let us talk while we work - but nooo this one wants us to be silent. All day. -.- Me? Silent? ahaaa I'm only quiet when I'm around people I don't no :s

Because it's new year, sooo many people have made new years resolutions. Most people probably won't even keep them. Apparently this time of year, gyms see the most people signing up, but people drop out after a little while. People say they will go on a diet, not eat chocolate, not drink wine etc. Why make a big sacrifice like that when you won't keep it? I sure as hell wouldn't be able to cut out chocolate completely! O.o Just be healthier and have less, I no it can be easier said than done, but it's easier than having none! Why don't we make resolutions that make us a better person? Like helping more people, to try and make at least one person smile a day, to give without a reason, to give a cup of tea to a homeless person?

Any way I have been promising to film nail art tutorials for a while, instead just showing you the pictures. I told you I've got a little tripod for Christmas and so... I've recorded a nail art tutorial. I have started off with something super simple, as I wasn't sure on how to record the angles and how to film the tutorial in general. I was also nervous with it being my first tutorial so my voice sounds weird :S I will make sure to improve in videos to come! :) I won't be doing as many voice over the videos, I will be speaking on the camera to you, but I am starting off simple :)

This is the basics of this tutorial, I hadn't cleaned up around the edges at this point as I hadn't finished the tutorial. You could wear yours like this if you don't want to do the bows - that's optional. Just make sure to give it a glossy top coat to stop the acrylic paints from coming off and the nail varnish from chipping.

This is the finished polka dot nail art look. I used crystals for the centre of the bows, however if you don't have those then you could use silver nail polish and/or a glitter polish. Like I said, the bows are optional so you could just do the polka dots.

The main nail varnish I used was a 'one coat' By Nella. You can get this from MoYouNails here for £7.99 now £5.49.

Want to see how to create this nail art look? 
I have changed my YouTube name to:
' and that is where I will be uploading my nail art tutorials, tips, tricks etc. Please subscribe to my channel :)

The link to this video is here you can find out where I got all the tools and polishes from there too :) Please like the video and subscribe to my channel, there are lots of faboo tings to come! :D

What do you think of this nail art look? Would you wear this? Do you like the tutorial?

My Christmas Makeup and ffh's new badge!


I hope you all had an amazing Christmas! What was your favourite presents? :D
Its been pretty busy over here, we've been going to the hospital with M for her radio therapy sessions which is obviously not an enjoyable thing, but its making her better so that's good :)

I have gotten lots over products over the holiday which I will be uploading to here and lots of exciting things coming up too! I have now got a mini tripod so I can film nail art tutorials which I will be uploading to my YouTube channel - I have changed the channels name from my name to a nail art one so its easier to find :) please subscribe to it :) I will also be doing special effects makeup tutorials and looks and posting pictures on here and tutorials over there! :D

I received this present parcel from Treasure House Of Makeup who supply Mehron UK makeup and special effects makeup too. If you've read my previous posts I always review the products right down to the packaging, I think if that is presented nicely then the company has spent a little extra time to make you feel special :) Some companies use little organza bags for jewellery, little gift boxes, some put their product in a fancy metallic parcel bag and I've ad some which have just come in a plain parcel bag and the products are loose inside - Not good as sometimes the product breaks and to be honest its just boring. 
Treasure House Of Makeup sent me this beaut of a parcel in a bigger box with all what looks like polystyrene wotsits to keep the parcel inside nice and safe. The parcel its self is a box with a lovely covering and a little note from them too :D Mehron, as you might already know - is a professional stage makeup company. This means their products are SERIOUS. I mean people would wear this stuff when they're doing a Broadway show or an America's Next Top Model Photo shoot, so by celebrities!

I received four pots of precious gem powders. These were in Black Onyx, Amethyst, Topaz and Opal. They are powders made with soft silky powder which can have many uses. It can be applied from head to toe for any occasion. You can add a shimmer to your skin for parties, dinners of look faboo at professional performances etc. There are 13 colours in total which you can choose from and are based on birthstone colours. The fist thing I noticed with these powders is that they all sparkle like mad, the opal has a metallic look which almost changes from white to baby pink depending on how you look at it. You only need to use a little bit of these as they are highly pigmented. I have read some reviews saying they are way to pigmented, but I think the main point is that a little goes a long way. Also the drop cloth technique should be used when applying as eye shadow as the sparkles get everywhere aha :P
Mac do a similar product to this which costs £17 each, I'm not brand mad so I don't particularly care about getting the the designer brands, I'll use whats good and works for me. The Mac range is known to be good quality however the price is obviously expensive. They do have more colours to choose from if you want to build your collection, but I would much rather get Mehron's because the quality is soo good, it's used by professionals (so is MAC) but I find that Mehron works well with my skin.
These cost £6.40 each and you can get them here

I have done a colour swatch above going from left - right: Black onyx, Amethyst, Opal, Topaz.
As you can see, the colour is very intense in the centre where I've applied more, and lighter around the edges where I've used less.

I used the Topaz powder on the inner half of my eye and then used the Amethyst on the outer half of my eye. As you can see, I should have used the drop cloth technique as the sparkles just go everywhere :)  
I blended the colours in and then I used an eye liner and a brush from Beauties Factory to do the eye liner. Finishing off the look with some Rimmel London Wild Mega Volume Mascara. You can get the brush set here for only £9.99 and the eye liner here for £5.99!... Can anyone tell me what the brush is on the top second from the right?

I usually have a makeup artist do my makeup for photoshoots and catwalks so I am developing my skills of doing my own makeup.

As you may of seen already FashionFixhunter's new Badge was thanks to Treasure House Of Makeup. The badge is at the top left of the blog, if you haven't saw - 
I am wearing the eye makeup which I just shown you. I'm also wearing the Velvet Finish Primer Serum - I tend to get really dry skin from exma on my nose so I moisturize and then use a primer, although sometimes that's not even good enough. 
I've tried lots of different brands, of moisturizers and primers and most are just no use to me. This primer is super thick compared to others I've tried and it gives a super smooth base for the foundation. I only wear a little of tinted serum on my nose and chin because they are slightly pinker than the rest of my face, my skin is alright apart from that :) You can get that here for £18.23
I applied a little bit of the Glosstone 'Red Kiss' which I was a little weary about as I never really wear red lipstick or gloss, I'm not that brave aha :P
Actually, I quite liked it - it was smooth and wasn't sticky what so ever yet it looked glossy and healthy. You can get this here for £6.02.

There will be more makeup posts coming up featuring Mehron products, including tutorials, moodboards/pinboards, trends and get the celeb look, and also Special Effects Tutorials!! I will be using these products incorporated with special effects to create some awesome looks you can follow and do yourself :) This post was basically just to introduce you to the Mehron brand and Treasure House Of Makeup and show you the blogs new badge :D


What do you think of the Mehron products? Have you ever tried them? Are you excited to see some special effects? What do you think of the blogs new badge? :)
