Fyrinnae's shadows are always gorgeous, so I was really please when their newest collection, Dia De Los Muertos, was released. I picked up some of the new colours as well as a couple that I'd been meaning to try for a while.

I'm finally back (and this time I've even queued some posts so there won't be such a big gap)! I placed a few make up orders at the beginning of the month and the first one to arrive was my order from Meow. I took advantage of one of their free shipping offers (they've got another running right now) to pick up some full sizes and some samples from their new autumn collections and their

My posting has been a bit erratic lately with various holidays and work trips. Hopefully it will calm down now and I'll be able to get back to more frequent posts.  My latest overseas excursion was to Strasbourg for work so I decided to do a tricolore inspired look but with different colours rather than the traditional red, white and blue. A few of the colours are ones

So it turns out that I only did my makeup twice in the week I was on holiday and because I'm still trying to learn how to use my camera the pictures were a bit hit and miss. The only look I have semi-decent pictures for is this one, using a mix of Fyrinnae and Morgana products. I hadn't used any of my Morgana stuff for a while and this reminded me how great it is. I'm now very excited

There have been no posts for a while because I've been enjoying the Cornish coast with some friends. I have a couple of looks from my holiday but not many because I spent most of the week slobbing around the house we'd rented or chilling out on the beach sans makeup. Before I put up the looks, though, I wanted to share the swatches I did this morning of my Persephone Minerals sample.&

I've not really used my Aromaleigh Lost in Faerie samples over the summer, which is a shame because they're gorgeous.

I wanted to try a smoky eye toady, seeing as I din't have to be in work and so it didn't matter if it went wrong. I've also been wanting to use Changeling, the free sample I got with my last Fyrinnae order, ever since I swatched it.  What I used Face Meow Equilibrium primer Meow Pampered Puss (mix of Frisky Sphynx and Naughty Mau) Meow Camo-Cat yellow

As much as I love playing with bright, colourful makeup, sometimes I need a simple look I can do in no time at all. I had one of those times today when I realised, as I was getting ready, that I should have left my flat about 10 minutes earlier.

I left work a bit later than usual yesterday, so I had my first walk home in the dark since the spring.

I've been meaning to post for several days now but have been slightly scuppered by the fact I've been trying to use my new Fyrinnae shadows. Immortality and Delvian, in particular, are gorgeous but need more careful application than my normal 'slap it on and see' approach. I decided to use Immortality again today. As well as trying to be more precise with my application, I decided to follow the

I'm a bit behind on posting and reading blogs - I was in Canterbury for a couple of days and then I got food poisoning :( I'm still a feeling a bit uninspired makeup wise but my latest Fyrinnae order arrived today so I decided to swatch that.  (From left to right, over Pixie Epoxy: Kurisumasu!, Kimchi, Demon's Tail, Delvian, Changeling, Medieval Haunting, Immortality)

Every time I see an EOTD from Fashionedinfinland I think how nice the colour placement she uses is. I decided to try it out myself today and even without her blending skills I think it worked quite well.

My Fyrinnae order arrived a couple of days ago and I was excited (above and beyond normal new makeup excitement) because it contained a full size of Rapunzel Had Extensions.  I've seen a few people do looks using this colour and it always looks really pretty but it's even prettier in real life. I also got a full size of Painted Roses and a sample of Velvet Vampire so I decided

After swatching them a couple of days ago I finally got round to using some of my new Evil Shades makeup.

First, apologies to anyone who commented in the past few days. I did reply but then managed, almost immediately, to delete all the comments for the past few weeks thus proving, yet again, that I can't really be trusted with technology and will sometimes press buttons when I really shouldn't.  Now, onto the last of my holiday looks. They're both quite yellow; it must have be the (lack of)

I was very please when I got back from holiday to find my Evil Shades order waiting for me at home. I'd heard good things about the company and was excited about trying them out. I really like the items I ordered. I got seven lipstick samples and four full size eyeshadows. My order came with two free samples - an eyeshadow and a sample of one of Evil Shades' new Stars glitter. Colour

I was obviously in a purple and yellow mood when I was on holiday; I did two yellow looks and two purple looks. I've decided to group them together and today I'm posting the purple looks. Fewer photos that usual (and even worse than they normally are) because I was, without fail, always the last one ready and hurrying to get out of the door.  The first look is purpley-taupe.

I've been enjoying a lovely week in Kent with my mum, nana and aunt so I haven't been posting. I have been playing around with my makeup, though, so I have a backlog of looks to post. The first one was my second attempt to use Adam and Steve's. It still doesn't capture how vibrant and pretty the colour is but it comes closer than my last attempt.  What I used FaceMeow Pampered Puss in

I decided to play around with some of my Morgana Minerals lipsticks today. I have two full sizes, Azalea and Shrieking Violet, the rest are samples. It wasn't until I started swatching that I realised how many purples I had.  All the lipsticks were applied directly onto bare lips (and just in case anyone wanted to know, this is what my bare lips look like).
