Mamma knows best...

So there I was.. strolling.. (I mean sneaking) around my mum's bedroom and alas... I came across a delightful sight.... her make-up collection. *que angels singing*.

There comes a time in a girl's life where we all need to fess up that mamma's do, infact, know best. So I digress... Let's take a look into my mum's perfectly organised make-up collection, and find out what the old gal has to offer!



My mum is a b-e-a-utiful, no make-up kind of gal, yet she has some glories worth sharing. I asked her her top three must haves and here they are:

1) Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipsticks - 'I like these because they are matte, yet they aren't drying on my lips. They also stay on really well and don't bleed'. 




2) Laura Mercier Secret Concealer - 'I like this because it has a creamy texture which is great for under my eyes as it isn't drying, and the pink tones in it counteract any bags really well'.

3) Rimmel Sun Shimmer Bronzer - 'It does just what it says. I like the bronze with a subtle sparkle to reflect the light... and there's not too much shimmer to make me look like i'm going clubbing!'.

I always find it really interesting (because i'm nosey) to rummage through other people's makeup, and I thought this would be a really nice and quick sneak peak blog! I love you mama! 

Enjoy!

The Wonders of Being a Master.

Afternoon.. 
Since I went all money bags on you last post... I decided I would back it up a little and write about something relatively affordable. Now. This might seem like a bit of a boring, onto the next type of product.... but wait until you try it...


The Maybelline Master Drama Cream eyeliner will be your new B.F.F. Seriously! I'm not an eyeliner kind of gal... but this thing is seriously great. First thing to mention is its £4.49 at Boots. Did someone say bargain?! Secondly.. This thing glides on. Over anything. We're talking eyeshadows from matte to glitter, you name it - it does it. The pencil is really great because it stays all day, and is also smudgeable! There is nothing worse than dragging a pencil over your oh - so - delicate eye and finding you get nothing but a watery eye and a blunt end! The pencil lasts on your waterline ALL day, and as a contact lense wearer, this baby is irritant free!

I wear the brown colour because it suits my eye colour more, but these babies are available in 4 different colours. I know this might seem a bit ridiculous.. all this fuss over a pencil.. but try it. Then get back to me ;)

Enjoy!

Lots of Love!
