i spy with my little eye . . . .

Hello :)

Did you like the title of this post?! Who else used to play 'I Spy' on reaaaally long car journeys when they were younger?! haha....

Thought i'd do a post today on my favourite eye products at the moment.

1. Urban Decay Naked Palette
A must have for beauty lovers, this palette never vacates my dressing table. From the Frosty Champagne Pink 'Sin' to the Sultry 'Smog' there is a colour for every occasion in this palette.
My favourite shades at the moment are, Virgin, Half Baked and Buck.



2. Urban Decay Primer Potion
Unfortunately i suffer from oily eyelids, so an eye primer is a must have for me. A quick dab of this on my eyelids and i feel reassured that i will have crease-free eyeshadow for the day. I also have the UD Primer Potion in the colour 'Sin', however when i use it, my eyeshadow still creases! So i'd suggest staying away from the 'Sin' version and sticking with the original.



3. Rimmel Glam Eyes Liquid Liner
I've always been rather anxious about using liquid eyeliner as i don't have the steadiest hand in the world. However, i found this liquid liner loitering in the bottom of my make up draw and decided to try my hand at applying it...
I'll admit my first time using this was not perfect, however after a few attempts i was flicking my liner out like a pro! I love the thin brush on this liner, which helps with precision and i've not found it to smudge either. (Note; I do use Urban Decay Primer Potion underneath my liner first.)



4. Loreal Lash Architect 4D Mascara
When i first bought this mascara we did not get on, to be frank it was a gloopy mess. However 2 weeks later and the mascara has dried out slightly, which makes it a lot easier to work with and leaves me with long luscious voluminous lashes. WIN!



Hope you enjoyed a quick sneek peek into some current favourites of mine.

If you'd like any reviews on any of the products then drop me a comment and i'll whip one up asap. :)

Have a wonderful weekend!

Urban Decay - Smoke Out Kit

Hey lovelies :)

It was my birthday earlier this month (2nd Jan) but with it being just after Christmas i always struggle to tell my parents what gift i would like. So on a post-christmas/pre-birthday trip into town i sauntered over the the Urban Decay stand and spotted the Urban Decay Smoke Out Kits. I've always been a bit anxious about purchasing Urban Decay products as i like to keep my eye make-up quite neutral, whereas most of the Urban Decay palletes are all bright, vivid colours.

However after examining the "Smoke Out Kits" i discovered that they were made up of 4 neutral colours . . . SOLD! Yup, forever a sucker for snazzy packaging i quickly became the proud owner of one of these gems. :)

The Breakdown

Urban Decay describe this kit as *an amazing smoke-and-mirrors kit which unveils the secret the the elusive smokey eye*.

• 4 Colour Co-ordinated Colours.


• Foolproof Instructions


• 24/7 Eye Pencil in Zero


• Skyscraper Mascara
  
• Mirror

I chose the *Sweet Lucy* kit. This included 4 colours to achieve a gray/black smokey eye. There are 2 other Smoke Out kits with different colour schemes - Green and Brown, if you don't want the colour to be too intense. Anywho, i wanted the dramatic look, so opted for Sweet Lucy.
The kit itself is structured in a layered fashion. Each layer holds one or more products from the list above. All the layers are held together by a nail/screw/stud (yeah, i've never been good at describing DIY type things! hehe) well whatever it is, it lets all the layers swivel/move freely. The mirror is attached to another swivelly screw which allows the mirror to be moved to a different angle so you are able to see your pretty peepers easily. The packaging also has a smokey look both inside and out, obviously keeping in with the theme of the product!

I love this kit as you can create daytime looks, then simply vamp it up in the evening. Also with the kit being super dinky its really convinient if your going somewhere overnight and don't want to cart around a load of eye products with you.

So yup, this super stylish kit gets a big thumbs up from me. :)
RRP £22.00

Lots more posts coming up over the next few days!

FYI - Blogger is being its usual awkward self and changing the layout/picture placement of this post, so if theres random spaces everywhere then thats why. ;) Oooh and if anyone knows how to get clickable pictures, so that when the post has been pubished people can click on the images and they will appear bigger then please let me know! Thanks.

Christmas look

Hey guys!

On the spur of the moment i decided to create a glittery smokey eye using colours from my sisters Urban Decay palette (which she doesn't know i used . . . thanks/sorry Nic, if you're reading this >.<) anywho, i've took some pictures of the look, which you can find below. Apologies for the rubbish quality of the pictures - i took them quickly on my webcam.

As you all know, blogger is useless for uploading pictures on, so if the picture above comes up teeny then i apologize!

I may make a YouTube tutorial on this tomorow, if i have enough time; gotta go into town and finish my xmas shopping first, eeek! I'll most likely film the tutorial on my camera, so the quality will be a lot better than the pictures. :)

Let me know what you think,
