FOTD - A Rushed Subtle Smoke

I had a day out with my godmother today - (purchases to come tomorrow ;))- it was an early start for me so I had to be super quick with my make up and I didn't have long to take pics but I hope you get the idea x

By Lauren Luke Face Kits :)

I said on Monday that QVC had dispatched 2 By Lauren Luke make up palettes that I had ordered before Christmas well they came yesterday and I am chuffed to bits with them

First of all I ordered the My Fierce Violets palette

From Left to Right - Top Row - Shadow Primer Nude Slip Dark and Light, Eye Shadow Crushed Lilac, Blush - Sepia Rose
Bottom Row - Cream Eyeliner Raven Black, EyeShadow Turkish Night, Eye Shadow Porcelain Dust, Lip Colour Sheer Berry and Cherry Whip

Swatches

You can't see too well in this picture but the Turkish Night shadow has a gorgeous glittery finish :) - apologies that you can't see the eye primers too clearly here either they tone in so well with my skin they are virtually invisible

With the QVC kits you also get a lipgloss My Glossy Lips - it's a gorgeous clear with a slight hint of pink - it is a good consistency not too thin and not too thick and it has a gorgeous tropical fruit taste - yummy




I also got the My Smokey Classics kit and so far this is my favourite :)

Kit shown as you get it from QVC


From Left to Right - Top Row - Shadow Primer Nude Slip Dark /Light, Eye Shadow Antique Pewter, Blush Peach Glow
Bottom Row - Cream Eyeliner Raven Black, Eyeshadow Twilight Ash and Cashmere Cream, and Lip Colour Plumberry and Cranberry Stain


Swatches


Again you can't see the glitter too well in Twilight Ash but I hope you can see the fab pigmentation in all the colours - I think I have possibly found my new favourite eyeshadow am loving Antique Pewter :) My only issue is that each kit comes with the same lipgloss tube so I have a spare -hmm what should I do with it ;)

I bought these two palettes from QVC and they were £22.65 each excluding postage - or you can buy them directly from By Lauren Luke for £23.99 each for the palettes and £6.50 for the lipgloss
If you have any questions or if you would like to see some swatches etc of the green palette I already have please let me know in the comments below - stay tuned for a FOTD with some of the Smokey Classics Kit xx

Birthday Goodies

Eek as you may know it was my birthday yesterday - eek I officially in my 30's now, not just plain old 30 :( Anyways I got some lovely pressies, so I thought I'd show you some of the best :)

From my mum I got some lovely bits including this gorgeous brass Daisy necklace by Peaches Geldof for Made

Some Marc Jacobs Daisy Blooms perfume which came with the cute stickers (which I have already used ;) ) and a free tote bag :)

A gorgeous OPI gift set :)

This super cute make up palette in luscious greens from By Lauren Luke - Lauren is popular you tube make up guru Panacea81, and she has just launched her own collection. This gorgeous palette contains everything you need to create a full look - eyeshadow, cream liner, blush, lipsticks and eye primer / concealer - the colours are gorgeous and so fresh and spring like -I am especially loving the blush and lip shades


I also got some other fashion and beauty bits including some nude ballet pumps from Primark, a gorgeous crystal anchor t-shirt from Zara and a Body Shop Shimmering Plum gift set (so, so happy about this - why do they always discontinue things I love) :)
