If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram you may already know but I graduated yesterday. I had such a lovely day with my family. I thought i'd share what make up I wore, here's a few photos from the day. I wore my YSL Fusion Ink Foundation as my base, it's my favourite foundation right now. It's so easy to apply and is a flawless finish. I used a mixture of Collection Lasting perfection concealer, Clarins Instant Light radiance boosting complexion base* and the Mememe Arch Angel* Highlighter, I used this to highlight areas and to conceal my dark circles. I'm wearing the NYX Blush I reviewed the other day . Rimmel Exaggerate eyes liquid eyeliner and kohl liner, i'm so happy with my liner, I did it first time and it was perfect so that made getting ready stress free! I used Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme mascara* which is great at multiplying lashes but also adding volume to lashes. I added Topshop highlighter in Crescent Moon to my cupid bow. I used my Urban Decay Naked 3 palette for my eyes, first of all I used my potion primer to prep and then the shade 'Buzz' All over, strange in the corner to brighten and Factory for a smokey eye. I used the Hi Impact Brows* palette for my brows and The Rimmel Brow This Way styling gel to set my brows. Finally I used Guerlian Lingerie De Peau* which is a powder foundation to set and Collection Gothic Glam lipstick to finish my look, my nails and shoes were Burgundy so this tied everything together.
REVIEW: AIRMOTION HAIRBRUSH
15 November 2014
AIRMOTION HAIRBRUSH - £11.95* - BUY HERE
The AirMotion Hairbrush is a revolutionary multi-use hairbrush. Invented and designed in the UK. I won mine at the #FabbBirmingham event, they are avaliable on the AirMotion website for £11.95
The brush is designed to smooth and straighten your hair as you brush it. It removes frizz and easily distributes product throughout the hair.
It's detangles the hair and doesn't hurt, its so gentle and easily brushes through all lengths.
It has a non-slip grip and is easy for both left and right handed people.
My favourite thing about the AirMotion Pro is how easily it detangles my hair, i'm so lazy and hate brushing my hair. It's dry and hurts so bad when I brush through it. Not anymore, the AirMotion Pro is so easy to use. It's kind to my hair, I think they would be perfect for kids.
I have a Tangle Teezer and they are similar, Tangle Teezers don't have the straightening or frizz free technology that the AirMotion has, also they long handle makes it easier and more precise when using.
REVIEW: NYX BLUSH
13 November 2014
NYX BLUSH - £6.00 - www.cocktailcosmetics.co.uk
I spotted an amazing shop within the custard factory a couple of weeks ago when I attended the #Fabbevents it was closed because it was sunday so whilst I was in town last week I made sure I popped in. The shop is called cocktail cosmetics and sells some amazing brands such as Lime Crime and Sigma.
They have a website which you can visit here COCKTAILCOSMETICS.CO.UK
This is my first NYX purchase and I also picked up a concealer. The colour is gorgeous a pink blusher which a gold shimmer to it. It's really pigmented you only need a small amount for a natural colour. I have been building it up a little but I love blusher so always go a little over the top.
I have to say I'm so impressed for £6 this is such a good product, it lasts all day and is so pigmented. It's a great product and i'm going to have to buy more shades. This particular shade is perfect for me! The packaging is sleek and simple great for the price. I'll be visiting Cocktail Cosmetics again and again!
NOVEMBER WISH LIST
12 November 2014
Olivia Burton Watch // Nars Virtual Domination Cheek Palette // F&F Roll Neck Jumper//
Topshop Check skirt with lace // Chunky Boots from Pretty Little Thing // Anastasia DipBrow
With Christmas just around the corner i've been doing a spot of window shopping, i'm loving these roll neck jumpers right now. These ones from F&F clothing at tesco are a bargain at £8 each and come in a few different colours. I love this skirt that Llymlrs recently mentioned on her blog. I'm after a pair of chunky boots, these ones from pretty little thing are a little too high, I want something similar but not as high. The Olivia Burton watch is at the top of my wish list, I have 2 already but they have now released silver face watches!! All of my jewellery is pretty much silver apart from my watches so it would be great to have a silver one. The Anastasia dip brow is a product i've wanted to try for a while, i'm tempted to wait until I go to America to buy it. I'm loving the Nars Holiday Collection especially this gorgeous blush palette which is such a great value for money
OUTFIT POST: CLINT'S FIRST OUTFIT POST FEATURING JACAMO
11 November 2014
COAT: JACAMO* // JUMPER: BLUE INC // JEANS: // BOOTS: TIMBERLAND
''The jacket is a quilted farmer style jacket, it has lots of pockets which is good. The jacket is a dark blue/ black colour with brown detailing on the collar and gold buttons and zips. I normally go for an XS however the smallest size was a S but this is a comfy fit and there's abit of room for my thick jumpers. It's thicker than I thought it was going to be so it's been great this week since its been freezing. The coat is a good quality material and has been made very well. I can see this coat lasting me years, they have gone to lots of effort with the detailing. I love the yellow check pattern inside and the corduroy brown detailing on the collar and inside.''
The jacket also comes in Khaki and is available in sizes S to 4XL it retails at £50 and is avaible here at Jacamo

Today has been a pretty chilled out day, I stayed in bed till about 12 and then got ready to pop to Tesco to get a few bits. I've just been responding to emails and trying to organise my Christmas Gift Guide so i've kept myself busy. I had to take some photos of Clint because he's been sent a gorgeous jacket and we're going to be featuring it on the blog this week so we took some outfit photos of Clint which was fun! I thought we'd share my photos first as it's abit easier lol.
Today i'm wearing a couple of new bracelets that I've been sent this week, first of all this gorgeous Michael Kors Bracelet Its a gorgeous silver tone studded buckle bracelet, Its like a bangle with such a lovely clasp kind of like a watch design which you lock into place. Theres two holes so you can adjust the size. I will feature this in a full review soon, but I just wanted to show it off today!
Next I've been sent this lovely Thomas Sabo Charm Bracelet which again I will feature in a full review, This charm carrier bracelet is gorgeous and comes with a clover charm to start you off. I think it's a lovely bracelet that you can where everyday or just on special occasions. The charms are great you can literally get a charm for everything. I also got a skull charm as it was halloween and I really liked the skull charm. I've already got my eye on the Hand of Fatima charm which is gorgeous.
REVIEW: MAKE UP REVOLUTION THE ONE BLUSH STICK
9 November 2014
THE ONE STICK - £5.00* - MAKE UP REVOLUTION
So here's the latest blogger hype from Make Up Revolution, the One Blush Stick. It's a really great idea, a cream blush in a stick, its easy to apply and such a highly pigmented product.
The sticks come in 4 matte shades and 4 bold shades, above I have swatched the matte pink and normal pink shade.
They are designed for multiple use both lips and cheeks and resemble Nars The Multiple which is a very similar product. I haven't tried the Nars version so I can't compare however the Make Up Revolution version retails at £5 compared to Nars retailing at £30. I know the quality of product is probably different but as I said I haven't tried the Nars Multiple so I can't really comment.
I really want to try this product in dream which is more of a highlight shade a much lighter shade.
I love how pigmented the colour is and I have to blend the product with a buffing brush for a more natural effect. I have heard that mixing the product with water creates a smoother finish so I can't wait to give this ago!
If you have used the Nars Multiple i'd love to hear your thoughts? Have you tried the Make Up Revolution version, what do you think?
