Everything That Glitters Isn't Always Gold..

I got home from gym today and was actually in the mood to play around with some makeup before I had a shower. I washed my face, applied foundation to half my face and grabbed the closest bright eyeshadow which was a Mac pigment pot in the shade Bright Fuchsia. 

It's a very dramatic and daring colour, perfect for summer. 

After rummaging around in my makeup drawer I found a matching Glitter Eye Creme by BYS in the colour Cherry Bloom. It reminded me of a tutorial I watched on YouTube called "How To Get Fairy Eyes" (or something along those lines).

Here is my inspiration photo..

And here is my two minute replica:

You can tell it's a rushed job but I found it fun to experiment with such a bold colour and glitter is never "safe" so the combination of the two was so daring. I may just wear this look clubbing on the weekend.

What I Used

In my crease: Mac pigment Bright Fuchsia

On my lid: BYS Glitter Creme in Cherry Bloom

My liner: Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Liner in Blackest Black

On my waterline: NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk

Bargain Makeup Finds..

Today the postman delivered :

Bobbi Brown Flat Top Bronzer Brush

Ed Pinaud Paris Eyeshadow Quad: No 6

NYX Eyeshadow: Dolly Pink

NYX 'Golden' Cream Blush Review + Swatch.

I'm not sure if I love this blush or hate it.

I love cream blushes for a start and this is a peachy/nude blush with a golden shimmer through it but now that I own it, I wish I ordered the actual cream bronzer.

It's an in between colour that I don't think can be worn alone. I think it would just blend into your foundation and add a little sparkle.

Maybe my skin tone is just too naturally olive/tanned to wear this colour.

I think it would be best on girls with a really fair/pale complexion.

I'll make sure to wear it a few times over the next week and give a proper review on this item but for now, it is taking a back seat to all of my other blushes and bronzers.

NYX Bronze.

This summer I am really interested in bronze, gold and warm shimmer tones.

Does anyone own the NYX Bronze Goddess palette or NYX Bronze Smokey Eye palette?

If so, which would you recommend?

My NYX Lipstick Swatch.

These were taken after I wiped off the lipstick.
As you can see, this lipstick leaves your lips with a lovely shine.

Wanna Sell Or Trade Me Your Elf, NYX, Eyeko Or Models Own Cosmetics?

I'm just letting all of you know that I'm officially obsessed with Models Own and Eyeko products.

I'm interested in buying as many items from these brands as possible.

I also want to buy the Elf Beauty Encyclopedias and NYX Narcissus round lipstick.

I don't even need to mention that if you have designer cosmetics I'm keen as mustard on those too haha.

If anyone has any of these items (or others similar) and wants to do a swap or sell them, please comment this post or email me so we can get the ball rolling.

Thanks chickas.
