Day Friendly Romantic-Goth Makeup Tutorial.

Hey Everyone ^_^

This is the look I was sporting (La de da!) in my recent 'Inglot etc Haul' video which received a load of requests straight after. As this is definitely a signature look of mine, I thought it appropriate to film as my first tutorial of 2012!

Inglot Haul ^_^

Hello All!!

I was delighted to discover recently that my beloved Inglot has arrived in Limerick, at The Crescent Shopping Centre which is about an hour and a half away from where I live in Galway, much better that the trip to Dublin on the other side of the Island! So saddled with all my Christmas pennies, I travelled down, the morning after a dream I'd had in which I went to the Inglot store to buy palettes, aww the powder of the subconscious!!

Here are some of the goodies I purchased on my trip.....

'Perfect Clean' Skin?.....L'Oreal Foaming Gel Face Wash. (Product of the week)

A self confessed aqua-phobe while not in the bath/shower concerning my face, I generally use wipe off milk/cream cleansers which for the most part I am very happy with. Something about the water running down my neck/elbows that I just can't handle over the sink, and I always soak the floor. No exceptions >_<
Anyhu's, despite said preference, I decided to purchase a foaming facial wash to use in the shower/bath as I was getting a little bored of using 'Dove' Soap and had even been using a 'not for face' body exfoliant to finish it up. Probably mot my finest idea.
