Experimental FOTD

So today I watched XSparkages new video which is loosely based on a Katy Perry make up look, so seeing as I had the day off today and didn't have to go out in public I decided to do a look loosely based on Katy Perry and Xsparkage, here is how it turned out:

I love how flawless my skin looks in these pictures, because in reality its blemishes galore! Anyway onto the products I used. Eyes: A mixture of Inglot shadows Illamasqua Precision Ink in Abyss I was clever enough to forget mascara :( MAC Feline Kohl For the brown dots, MAC Teddy Kohl Face: YSL Teint Radiance (I got it wrong the other day, sorry!) Foundation in Opal MAC Moisture Select Concealer in NW20 MAC Ripe Peach Blush Ombre (just the pink part) MAC Wedge as a contour colour Lips: MAC Stone Lipliner MAC Myth Lipstick


I had quite a lot of fun with this look and really enjoyed the results of the eyeliner, but I think even if I toned it down it would still be quite unwearable. Anyway if you haven't checked out Xsparkages latest tutorial I recommend you do!

Small Boots Haul

So I wanted a couple of things from boots, but when I get there I discover a £20 gift card in my purse! I was quite pleased because there was some more bits that I wanted to get. Its silly how much this small haul excites me, but its pretty much all inspired by beauty blogs so I'm hoping it all lives up to the hype! Here is what I got:

First up we have Oilatum. This has been recommended by Pixiwoo which is the main reason I got it. I have also ran out of my Eve Lom products so it was good timing. This is supposed to be quite a heavy cream, which is good for me because since I changed contraception my skin has been very dry, so lets see if this works!
Next up is a Barry M fine glitter dust. It is in number 15. It is just a white with lots of gold glitter in it. I got this so that I can recreate Xsparkages latest tutorial (the white swan). If you haven't checked out the tutorial I would really recommend it!
Then we have the Barry M Nail Effects. This has been sold out for soooo long that I had given up hope on it, but when I popped into Boots and they had it I know I had to snap it up. For those who don't know, it is one of those crackle polishes that shrink when you put it on top of another colour.
The last thing I got was a white nail polish. This is from 17 and is called Mini Skirt. I wanted a white polish to do my valentines day manicure. I would've got one from Barry M but they didn't have any on the stand so I settled for this one. Lets hope its not thin and streaky!
So that's the end of my haul. I can't wait to try it all out. Any of the latest 'must haves' tempting you?
