Dripping

Get the violins out, I am still feeling rubbish.  So here is a nail related post.  This is the second time I have tried this look, after looking at Sophy Robson blog.  I used Belgrave Place by Nails Inc, and then a top coat.  I haven't photographed my right hand because its no where near as good as my left.  So I better get practising. 

pretty rubbish

Sorry for lack of posts, got a bad cold and the posts I had planned involved photos.  Not looking the best so will save them for a later date.

I did however, go to work without any mascara for the first time today.  I knew there was going to be a lot of eye rubbing so thought whats the point.  Not one person noticed, or maybe they were too polite to mention the fact that I looked like Vic and Bob in this video.

Blog soon x

Red Head

Here is a pic of me with my new redder hair, I love it.  I am obviously really stingy when I put my eyeshadow on because you can barely see it, but I am still bothering with my eyeshadow I promise.  Plus I am loving Benefits Dandelion blusher at the mo'.

Had a lovely day a short walk round the art gallery and finished off with fennel tea and a slice of dime bar cake.

Tuesday

Here is my look for Tuesday.  Don't I look pleased with myself?

I used pretty much the same products I did on Monday (how lazy)

*Laura Mercier - tinted moisturiser
*Laura Mercier - secret camouflage
*Bobbi Brown - colour corrector concealer
*Laura Mercier - secret brightening powder
*LOreal - waterproof grey eyeshadow
*Elizabeth Arden - grey sparkly eyeshadow (sorry I don't know the actual name)
*Benefit - Dandelion blusher
*Maybeline - Colossal mascara
*Nars - gloss in a beige/pinky colour (I have had it so long the name has worn off)

Monday

I am a bit behind on my posts this week, working out on Monday (whoo yeah), book club Tuesday (geek), hair do on Wednesday (pics to come).  Anyway here is the look I wore to work on Monday. 

I recently read in a magazine that if you are feeling and looking a bit tired to wear a lilac eyeshadow, so because I hadn't had the best night sleep I decided to give it a whirl. 

I used:

*Laura Mercier - tinted moisturiser

*Laura Mercier - secret camouflage

*Bobbi Brown - colour corrector concealer

*Laura Mercier - secret brightening powder

*Elizabeth Arden - lilac shadow

*Benefit - Dandelion blusher

*Maybeline - Colossal mascara

*Blistex - soothing splash (post to come)

Quite quick to do, but I feel I look better than I felt.  Think I might be a purple eyeshadow convert!! 

Iman

Today while on my lunch break, I was flicking through the pictures of the Golden Globes on the Daily Mail website, (my guilty pleasure) and especially loved Angelina Jolie's beautiful green dress, it pains me to say this because she is not my favourite celeb. 

Here are a few others that drew my attention, for good and bad reasons.

I just love the fact that Helena Bonham Carter has her own thing, and really doesn't care.  Look at her shoes, ha! Her face is stunning though.

I love velvet, I love navy, I love Tina Fey.

Love her hair, and make up, don't really get the dress. 

While I was browsing the DM, I found an article on Iman.  She is just so stunning, and completely in a league of her own (for want of a better less cringeworthy expression).  I hope I look as good when i'm in my mid 50's.

Belle and Galaxy

Check out my bling nails, picked these two up from what I call a "cheapy" shop in my local town centre, they only cost £1.39 each.  Both by Revlon, and designed to be a top coat.  I have just used them on their own.

My little finger has Barry M Grey painted on it, with the Galaxy on top just to see what it looks like.

The darker one is called Galaxy, the silver one is called Belle.  I popped into my local Boots and they didn't have it there, so it must be limited edition or something.  Just googled it and there are loads of american blogs loving it.  

I'm not looking forward to tackling the glitter with a polish remover.  I'm sure it will still be there in three weeks time.
