FOTD And Some Products I Have Been Loving Lately

I live I haven't been as fighting on my blog as usual so apologies for that! I have been involved in an exciting new business venture which is currently taking up a great balance of my time.all will be revealed in the close future!

I decided torevisit a favourite go-to see a pair of years ago which was originally inspired by Kylie Minogue's makeup in the 'All The Lovers' music video.

I know this eyeshadow combination for a night-time look because the shades really glisten and get so illuminated in darker conditions (if that makes sense). Sorry the pics are a wee bit hazy, they weren't meant to be like that but my camera decided to act up!

My all time favourite lashes are the Ardell 109 or 110 ones because they are precisely so soft to practice and pretty much fuss free but I do ALWAYS use Revlon lash glue because it's the most reliable for me. I personally much prefer false lashes that feel as rude as possible and merely add that extra bit of mass and fullness. I'm not into drag queen-esque ones with diamantes, feathersand lace hanging off them! I have tried some of the Revlon Fantasy Lengths lashes before and was impressed with them as a more affordable option (they are just 4.65 each in Boots). My faves are the 'Flirty' style as they get your lashes look fluttery without looking fake. The ring on them is really lean and although it comes out of the packaging quite true in shape, it can easily be manipulated to fit your eye shape.

I know any product that can add super shine to my hair but many shine sprays can give your hair a bit heavy or even greasy. I recently started using the Tigi Catwalk Volume Collection Your Highness Weightless Shine Spray.yeah it's a mouthful isn't it! It claims "the finishing touch for any voluminous style is healthy shine. This practically weightless spray eliminates frizz while adding luminous shine". Firstly, this stuff smells amazing.I mean it reminds me a bit of Armani Code perfume. It basically smells gorgeous and I'm up for anything that makes my hair smell amazing whilst adding shine. The spray also has heat protectant qualitiesso you can use it before you blowdry or after. It actually is weightless and leaves no oily/greasy residue on your hair...

My hair was left feeling fresh, light and very natural. It left my hair with illuminating shine and the fragrance lasted all night. It helped to shine down flyaway hairs too leaving my hair looking really healthy. Because I have fine hair, I hold to be extra careful which products I use so as not to consider my barnet down but this material is now my new favourite shine spray!

I also like the fact that it has a fine spray nozzle so entirely the slightest mist comes out to delicately coat your hair with shine. The black, purple and silver packaging is also really pretty!

You can getthe 200ml can from FeelUnique here for just 10.35 with free delivery!

Another production that has all off my thought has been Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara which I first heard of on The Yummy Mummy's Beauty Blog and also Tanya Burr's YT channel. Now I have never worn mascara on my bottom lash line because:

a) I have deep set eyes so I'm prone to dark circles

b) I have never been capable to get a mascara that doesn't smudge or flake on lower lashes

c) Normal mascara wands always made it incredibly hard to use it without making a mess

It's like you take a totally different pattern of mascara to go on your lower lashes and until now, I avoided applying it there altogether. Because of the drier formula and teeny brush wand of this specially designed Clinique mascara, you can have lightly defined lower lashes without the mess!

I don't wish to get heavy mascara on my bottom lashes but sometimes it's decent to set them for night-time looks. The final thing I desire is clumpy, thick lower lashes which would just accentuate my dark circles! So this mascara is complete for me and the little brush makes the job SO much easier. I was simply left with a clean, smudge free lower lashline with no splodges on my skin.

I don't know why it has interpreted this long for a mark to get on to this idea. By lightly coating my lower lashes, my eyes actually appear larger and that's the feeling I was leaving for. You can also get this mascara in Brown for a more subtle daytime look. I know this Clinique mascara and I know the fact that it has enabled me to try something out that I would otherwise have avoided. Thumbs up!

I only had to admit this funny pic of little Wolfey. I gave him a little attic and he somehow got it stuck on his head! Tt took him perpetually to firstly realise he had a dome on his head and then even longer to get it off! You can really see the frustration on his face! ha ha. Damn you noodle!

I was watching Later With Jools Holland as usual last night and I was astonished by this British guy's performance. He definitely falls into the family of unexpected. I think he looks like an indie Prince Harry but he sings like a soulfulangel! It only shows you can never try a word by it's cover! What's even more impressive is that he is just 20 years old and he performed this song using only his own voice recorded and played second on the place to create harmonies and beats. Impressive stuff!
