Make Up Monday - Vamp it up!

This weeks Make Up Monday is a look that is a key make up trend for the festive season! Vamp is back, dark smoldering eyes and deep red lips are all the rage, add some red nails and you will be seriously glammed up and ready to turn some heads!



I got this look using the Berry Collection from Sleek cosmetics along with a few other make up bag items. This look could be toned down slightly to wear in the day or vamped up as much as you like for the evening!

To see how I got the Vamped up look take a peek at my tutorial video....


I hope you like this look.

Stay Gorgeous

Make Up Monday - Collection 2000 Glam Crystals

These little beauties are perfect for glitzing up your make up look over the festive season! Glam Crystals Eyeliner from Collection 2000 come in 6 different colours, they are so sparkly and are very easy to apply!
 Hustle (top) Le Freak (bottom)
This photo really doesnt show just how sparkly they are but trust me, for all those glitter lovers out there you must go to boots and buy them now!

I purchased mine in boots and at the moment they have a 2 for £5.00 offer on Collection 2000 (I didn't notice if it was everything or selected items!), so now would be the perfect time to stock up! These would also make great secret santa pressies or stocking fillers!

I already have some Make Up Monday tutorials planned for these babies!!

Fashion Friday

Seeing as the temperature seems to have plummeted in the last couple of days I feel the need to pop to the shops (any excuse!) and stock up on some winter woolies, but one thing in particular I maybe interested in is the hooded scarf!
I have seen a few in the magazines and I really want one but I am wondering if its a look I can pull off?

 This one is from Boohoo and costs £15.00, obviously I will look just like the model as soon as I put it on! 
I want a really chunky knit one, with fur around the hood! So my question to you is what do you think of these? And have you seen any nice ones I should check out at the weekend?

Stay Gorgeous

Confidence Booster - Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj may not be everyone's cup of tea but one thing is for sure she oozes confidence and isn't afraid to show off her unique style! Something we can all learn from her is to embrace your own style and be confident doing it!

Stay Gorgeous and Confident

OPI Rainbow Connection

I wanted to share with you my new favourite bit of sparkle!! It's Rainbow Connection from OPI's Muppets Collection that has been launched ready for Christmas!
 GORGEOUS!!!
This is great on its own or you wear it over your favourite colour! It would also make a great stocking filler!
I do have other colours from the Muppets Collection, let me know if you want to see swatches and I will do a post on them.

Stay Gorgeous

Make Up Monday - Golden Eye!

This weeks Make Up Monday is using one of my current favourite products, Molten Metal in gold!

With the festive season fast approaching I thought I would create a look that will be perfect for any Christmas parties you might be going too!



For this look I have started with a Cream over the whole lid and then Navy Blue eye shadow in the socket line and then blended it inwards leaving a gap in the very middle of the lid (I have used the Monaco Palette from sleek for these two colours), then using the Molten Metal gold cream to pack on the colour to fill in the rest of the lid. Use the gold cream under the bottom lashes but keep it close to the lash line so that the blue shows as if its blended out.

To see exactly how I got this look, take a peek at my video tutorial....

Happy Make Up Monday

Stay Gorgeous
