Urban Decay; Vice 4 Palette Review and Swatches.

Palette sent as press sample for consideration.

Urban Decays newest Vice offering, their 4th, is absolutely stunning. There, I said it. Quite the opening statement, but it has been designed beautifully, package n' all.

Inspired by the "dimensional hues of an oil slick" and one of their "vintage shades" of the same name 'Oil Slick', this contains a mixture of stunning brights and smoked neutrals for a really balanced collection of eyeshadows.

Roger & Gallet 'Fleur de Figuier' Eau de Parfum

So it turns out that my favourite perfumes are ones that smell floral or fruity, or both. Anything too overly musky is a bit of an assault on my throat and in gereral too much perfume on anyone can tend to make me gag!

Coastal Scents 'Revealed 2' EyeShadow Palette.

Last week Coastal Scents released their 'Revealed 2' eyeshadow palette, the follow up to the original,  hugely popular 'Revealed' palette. It is a 20 colour palette with a mixture of mattes and shimmers with a predominantly pink undertone running throughout, so lovers of the Urban Decay 'Naked 3' palette will be impressed. I have been told that the original 'Revealed' is a mix of both the first and second Naked palettes.

Birthday Haul with New Makeup & Beauty Goodies :)

I had to re-record this video due to technical issues and forgot to show the Aussie treatments and the Catrice lace eyeliner.  I will be posting a piece about the treatments this evening though and will most definitely use the lace patches soon in a video!

Hey Guys:)

Even though I'm technically on a spending ban this month (due to being broke from my holiday and upgrading some tech stuff like camera etc) I still allowed myself to pick up a few bits from boots that I needed like skincare etc and luckily they were on a 3 for 2 when I went in which meant a free third item for every 2 bits I got! Woo hoo, absolute heaven to my eyes :)

I have also been sent some lovely products recently, the best of which I share here also.

MAC 'Viva Glamorous' Makeup Tutorial & MAC AIDS Fund.

Each year MAC bring out a Viva Glam set along with the rest of their Christmas holiday sets and this year's is the 'Stroke of Midnight, Viva Glamorous' set featuring Viva Glam 1 lipstick and gloss with a makeup bag.

Statement Necklaces; My newest crush.

Some of the lovelies available from TopShop.

Now I know that I have a new crush on a weekly basis but in my defense, there are so many pretty neck-things in the shops lately!!!!

One of the 'hazards' of working in the city is the temptation that you're faced with on your lunch hour while wandering about "window shopping".... There are so many beautiful and seductive statement jewelry pieces in stock at the moment in my favourite stores, Newlook, TopShop, River Island, Penneys etc. 

The bigger jewelry pieces literally transform an otherwise 'dull' outfit into a striking ensemble and the costume jewelry won't cost you a bundle either.

Mega Makeup Haul!! .....with some clothes & shoes too :)

Hey Guys :)
After a lovely long weekend away to London I 'm back with loads of goodies to share with ye all :)  Most of these will feature heavily in upcoming videos and blog posts in the near future of course but in the mean time, get yeerselves comfy and sit down with a nice hot drink to watch the haul video!

(I was shocked I was able to get it down to under half an hour!! ha ha )
