I've been stuck in a makeup rut for a while, just wearing the same old neutrals. My friend convinced me to start a blog, and it's given me the motivation into doing more interesting looks again. Here's a couple of my favourites! Face Clinique City Block YSL Le Teint...

I'm looking for a nice non-matte dark red lipstick that's comfortable to wear. It doesn't have to be MAC, but I do live in the UK, so brands are a little more limited for me!

Alex Box is giving a couple of masterclasses with Illasmasqua in Manchester on Monday. Has anybody been to one of her classes before? Is it worth it? I'm really tempted to go, but would have to go on my own. Traveling to and from Manchester on my own at night isn't my favourite thing to do...

I work in a busy resterant, and usually get stuck stood in front of a hot window in the kitchen for hours at a time. I kinda expect my makeup to slide off my face a little, but I cannot stand how, by the end of the night, my eyebrows have all but dissapeared! I've been alternating between...

Wasn't quite sure where this post should go As I am, once again, snowed in, I'm interested in entering some makeup competitions. I see FOTDs fairly often where people have done looks for competitions, but I rarely seem to stumble across these blogs. The only one I really know about is Makeup...

I'm off to a goth night on Saturday. I did the goth thing many years ago, and feel like rocking it again, but I'm completely stumped on the makeup thing. I don't want to look like a teenage goth. I want something a little more....sophisticated and grown up. Does anyone have any ideas or...

After seeing Nine Inch Nails, that something (or someone) is Mr Trent Renzor Unfortunately, since seeing them at Sonisphere my ME has been playing up something chronic (no pun intended), so my skin hates me. Cos of this, these pics are a little photo-shopped. I got rid of that horrible...

I was running late, so only had time to take pics of the eye makeup. I wore Alpha Girl b/p (Heatherette), and Pretty Please l/s with Melt in Your Mouth cremesheen gloss. Please excuse the badly applied falsies. The got a little bent out of shape, and didn't wanna stick properly. I used...

Over the past couple of months I've been mega stressed out with uni work, so haven't had much time to play with makeup. Now that I've finished my degree, the makeup has come back out, and I can hopefully start working towards a career as a makeup artist. The usual face stuff I use in all of...

I'm planning on wearing a bright orange/red lip (coral polyp with cult of cherry l/g) for a night out, but I'm at a loss as to what sort of blush to wear. Does anyone have any ideas? I'll be wearing a neutral eye, and I'm paler than NW15. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I'm doing a report on makeup artistry for uni, and my lecturer has suggested that I chose a couple of makeup artists to write small profiles on. However, I'm struggling to narrow my search down. So who's your favourite professional makeup artist? And are there any looks that they have...

Went into town planning to just look at Dame Edna and Chill. Unfortunately I can't seem to look without buying Face NARS mount blanc foundation Benefit Boi-ing concealer No 7 Instant Radiance concealer Blot Poweder (light) True Romantic beauty powder blush Benefit High Beam Eyes UDPP White...

I have two slots left to fill in my neutral palette, and I'm stuck as to which ones to get. So far I have: Carbon Espresso Satin Taupe Woodwinked Era All That Glitters Naked Lunch Shroom Retrospeck Ricepaper Goldmine Nylon White Frost I'm tempted by Smoke and Diamonds after hearing people...

So I caved and bought the Spiced Chocolate quad and Blooming blush. I'm so glad I did! So what if it means I have to buy the cheapest train ticket, meaning it'll take 4 hours and a rail replacement bus to get home on Sunday. At least I'll look pretty whilst making the journey! Please excuse...

I'd forgotten how much I love bright lips This one was inspired by Leena's http://specktra.net/f183/arabic-make...stions-111517/ Face Select SPF Foundation (NW15) Benefit Boi-ing concealer No 7 Instant Radiance concealer Blot Poweder (light) Benefit Dandelion Powder Fashion Frenzy Blush...

And trying to convince myself that I don't need the whole collection! I tried to recreate the Tempting quad with eye shadows I already had. Then I tried out dark lips. The pics don't really show the colour very well, it's a lot bolder in real life. I don't think I've had lips this dark since my...

As my MAC collection just seems to keep growing, I'm thinking about de-potting my eye shadows and blushes. Where do you UK ladies get your empty pallets from? I don't live anywhere near London so any of the stores there are out of the question. I can get to Liverpool and Manchester fairly...

I've lived in baggy jeans for as long as I can remember, partly because I've never found a regular pair of jeans that I like. Recently I've invested in my first pair of heels (Faith) and I'd quite like a nice pair of trousers to go with them. I'm a fairly small but rather curvy girl, with huge...
