Today I Feel Like Cheeks.

Hey guys,

Benefit 10 was a Christmas present last year that is hands down the best highlighter I've ever used. The contour shade however, isn't. I love to use the both colours on its own or even mix them together as they are both super pigmented and both super shimmery. See my point now? Although the darker shade is a lovely bronzer, having shimmer in a contour colour isn't really practical. The whole warm colour, shimmer thing attracts light, a contour is supposed to be cool toned and matte in order to create depth.
Negativity aside- this set is a real winner as it packs a punch, pigment wise, that I have never experienced before... just don't use it to make those chubby cheeks vanish.
Hope this was helpful, probably wasn't.

Today I Feel Like a Comparison.

Hi guys,

Maybelline KohlExpress

Urban Decay 24/7

The saying 'you get what you pay for' seems to be relevant a lot of the time in the makeup industry. I thought I'd do a series on the high-end things I have vs high-street items. It's Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in the shade Zero and Maybelline Kohl Express Eyeliner Pencil in the shade Glam Black. The UD pencil comes out as a creamy, jet black line which I know will last me the whole day while the Maybelline comes out as a hard, grey/black which is pretty but not what it is designed to be. It lasts the whole day with a primer but I'm afraid I've never had a panda-free day when I've not used a base. The winner is clear but what are your experiences of these eyeliners?

Today I Feel Like Showing Off.

Hey guys,

Anyone tried these? The £5 off voucher at Boots was the only reason I bought these as they're quite steep for face wipes at £7 full price. Regardless of the price, they're actually fantastic wipes.

Today I Feel Like Skincare.

Hi guys,

Liz Earle is one of the best skincare brands that I've come across and I don't think that I would be able to function without their Gentle Face Exfoliator. I don't have particularly sensitive skin but I don't like the feeling of lots of big, scratchy granules on my cheeks- is it just me that feels like you're being shoved into a cheese grater when that happens? Liz Earle pride themselves on using 'naturally active' ingredients that don't do more harm than good like a lot of other skincare companies. Their exfoliator is the same consistency as Cleanse & Polish but with tiny little beads that gently exfoliate the skin. It really feels like you've had a facial when you rinse this off. I have the 50ml tube and it's lasted me well over a year. For £9.25, I think it's a definite must-have to have in your beauty cabinet.

Today I Feel Like Eyes.

Hi there!
Eye of The Day for you now, it's a bit different from what I'd normally do but I felt a bit of high-fashion running through me this morning. I just used a Rimmel kohl pencil and did a mega wing and faded it out as it reached highest part of my eyelid. My mascara is Bourjois Volume Fast Perfect Mascara. What do you think?

Today I Feel Like A Lipstick .

Hey guys,
I know I've been away but I'm back now and raring to go!

The colour pretty much looks like
this in real life and on
your lips, True Colour? Think so.

I'm sat watching the X Factor, it's really getting tense! On a more serious note, ever heard of this little brand called Sleek Makeup? If you've been hiding under a rock and don't know who they are, I suggest you check them out pronto. I have one of their True Colour lipsticks sat with me now in the shade Barely There, I was thinking of doing a lipstick series? It's a sheen finish and gives a natural flush of colour if you just put a little bit on and work it into your lips or if your feelin' a bit bolder then apply it properly and you have yourself a bright coral/nude shade!
