Cream Eyeshadow Addiction

For ages now I've wanted to get some nice cream eye shadows as I think they look gorgeous and are far nicer than how powder shadows look.

I saw Lisa Eldridge mention the Rimmel 8 Hour Shadow Mousses in one of her videos and so I decided to check them out next time I was in the shops because the colour she had looked gorgeous.

I went in and spent ages swatching them. They have about six colours and I only came in expecting to get one shadow but came out with four because they were so lovely. They are fantastic wearable colours and apply so nicely. At £4.99 each they are definitely cheaper than other cream shadows out there but the colours and formulas are just as good.

Rimmel Colour Mousse in Get Fresh. This is a lovely salmon pink shimmery colour.

Rimmel Colour Mousse in Galaxy. All these shadows are shimmery without being horrible and glittery. This is a lovely vivid purple and can't wait to wear this!

Rimmel Colour Mousse in Glitz. A gorgeous gold!

(left swatch) Rimmel Colour Mousse in Sassy. This is the colour Lisa Eldridge talked about, it's a lovely taupe.

A nice little high street find - for once I didn't have to go to MAC for some good eye shadows!

Just a little note to let you ladies know that I'm going on holiday for two weeks, so I will be back blogging from the beginning of May xxxx

False Eyelashes Haul

The other day I was in Boots with my friend, looking at the false lashes they had.

I haven't yet worn false lashes out, but have been applying them at home trying to get used to them, and I think I have finally mastered it! 

I think false lashes really polish off a make up look, especially for going on a night out.

Lately I have been buying a few sets of lashes, so I thought I'd share my collection so far!

Nicola Girls Aloud Lashes- These are quite full but natural, and flick out at the ends. I think these are my favourites!

NYC Lashes- These were the first lashes I bought, they are a bit cheap and nasty..and come ''ready to wear'' without any glue- although they aren't very sticky...I have also cut one of the lashes just incase you were wondering!

Eylure Naturalites- Lengthening lashes, these are very long but also quite natural looking. They're weightless and easy to apply

Boots Get Lashed lashes- I really like these and would wear them with 60's style make up

Eylure Individual Lashes- These are great for filling in gaps and creating a natural look ... You can wear these for up to 4 weeks so they're good for going on holiday or the summer. You have to be careful not to use any oils or creams near them though so they could get rather annoying!

NYC Lashes- I bought these along with my other NYC lashes and they are also ''ready to wear''. I would still use glue with these though. They are similar to the Boots Get Lashed ones apart from these are slightly shorter.

So that's my collection, what are your favourite lashes?
