French Manicure Tutorial

Hi everyone,  I hope you have had a lovely Christmas!

One of my presents this year was a french manicure kit... And so on Christmas Day I gave my mum a manicure, taking a few pictures along the way.

I thought I'd make a little tutorial for you!

1- Apply a base coat and one or two coats of polish, leaving to dry.

2- Once nails are dry, put the manicure stickers on the end of the nails, leaving about 5mm for the white tip.

3- Apply the white polish on the tip of the nails, and leave to dry. Don't remove the stickers yet!

 4- Once nails are dry, remove the stickers and apply a clear top coat all over the nails.

And voila! There is your french manicure...

Hope you've enjoyed!

Plum Lips

The other day I bought a plum lipstick. I have been seeing a lot of plum make up looks lately and I think it's a really nice look especially for Christmas/New Year parties.

So I played around with a bit of make up today and here's what I ended up with!

I have sort of ended up with a Daisy Lowe/Vamp look... But I quite like it!

Products I Used...

• Lily Lolo Foundation & Bronzer
• MAC Prep+Prime Finishing Powder
• Clinique Gel Liner
• Clinique Airbrush Concealer
• Clinique High Impact Mascara (wow I'm using a lot of Clinique at the moment!)
• Max Factor Lipstick in 701
• Rimmel Nude Lipliner
• Collection 2000 Kohl Pencil in Brown (in crease)
• Beauty UK Palette- Shadows Used- two brown colours on top row & the black.

So there's my plum make up look!

Do you like the plum/vamp make up that's around at the moment?

It's Christmas!

Hi everyone, this is just a quick post! 

Yesterday my mum and I went and bought our Christmas tree. We always get a real tree because to me without the smell of a Christmas tree, it's not Christmas! 

I love decorating the tree, it's probably my favourite part of Christmas. We have so many decorations now, some which are older than me, and some only a couple of years old! 

I also bought some tinsel for my room and some fairy lights which I will be putting up tonight, so I will take a couple of pictures when it's all done.

For now I will leave you with a picture of the tree!

Face of The Day- Getting in the Mood for Christmas

 Today I decided to start getting in the mood for Christmas! At the weekend we are going to go and choose our tree and then decorate it, which is probably my favourite part of Christmas!

This is my first face of the day, and I've done a warm bronze eye with a sheer red lip. The camera hasn't really picked up the make up as much as I'd like it to, because the eyeshadow is quite a bit darker in real life- the second picture of the shadow shows it better! 

Products used:

Eyes-

• MAC shadows: Brule all over lid; Cork all over lid up to the crease; Bronze in outer corners of lid and blended into socket; Brown Down as a liner along top and bottom lashes. 
• Estee Lauder Projectionist Mascara in Brown
• Clinique Airbrush Concealer in fair
• MAC Brow Set in Beguile

Face-

• Lily Lolo mineral foundation in Blondie
• Lily Lolo mineral Blondie Cover Up concealer
• Lily Lolo mineral blusher in Clementine
• Lily Lolo mineral bronzer in South Beach

Lips-

• MAC Charismatic Lipstick put on straight from lipstick.

Hope you enjoyed my first FOTD! xxx

PS: Apoligies for my hair, I need it cut!
