In and out 2

Again I actually have something to put into an in and out post.

IN
Embryolisse cream!
Love this!
I have never liked moisturising my face,i always felt it made my face feel grim and greasy,which was probably a knock on effect of not moisturising it .
I don't have especially dry skin,its more combination with my previous lack of moisturising not helping my skin at all.So I use it both morning and night, and my skin feels smoother and softer and I will defiantly buy this again!



Second products is a blush I've had for about a month.
Its Sleeks Pixie Pink,Love this too!

I use it over MAC well dressed to give my blush alittle more of a pink pop,very pigmented and a really gorgeous colour (doesn't it look abit like NARS~Desire?)

Wow blurry MAC on the left and Sleek on the right

OUT

The snow!
As pretty as it is and awesome that the kids get school off ,it's just caused me havoc and made me very late for work!Where's my snow day!
I'd also like to wear shoes that aren't weather specific and be able to walk without the fear of slipping!

Dupes and Make up products easily available to Uk gyaru:)

Ahh it was nearly a month ago I created this post:O
DISCLAIMER:This is just a collection of my thoughts and opinion,intended to inform not persuade:)I've tried to included links to sites I've brought from before but still be wary as I've included one or two sites I've not brought from just to show the products.

After reading Milichi's awesome nude lip tutorial ,I thought about making a post about products for getting nude lips that were easily avalible in the UK.
I then decided to make a whole post about products that were readily available in the UK for gyaru make upXD


Products that I've found while looking for similar things that I've seen in gyaru magazines
For lips:
Base~Either foundation ,concealer (I don't really use those two but their options)
I use Barry-m 101 Lip paint or MAC painterly paint pot

Followed by..
Glosses~Lancome strawberry sorbet,MAC oyster girl or c thru MAC Pink fish lip conditioner NYX and recently YSL Lingerie PinkXD


Products that are in gyaru mags that are available abroad

I see alot of Revlon, Boujois, l'oreal, Maybelline,The body shop,MAC and NARS products in model's make up bags and in tutorials in mags with Bobbi Brown cropping up recently.Their collections seem to be made up of drugstore brands ,some higher end brands and then Japanese brands such as Canmake,co&lu,Kate,Cezanne,Visee,AC, Charcott, Candydoll,RMK and a few others.
Some of which can be purchased from this website http://ichibankao.com/default.aspx ~I have brought from them before and intend to buy again.

Scans from Jelly(Not by me)



Scans from Ranzuki (Not scanned by me)

Scans from Egg beauty 09 (Not scanned by me)





(all scans from Livejournal.I did not scan these)

Embryolisse Creme


I got mine from Screenface in London for about £14/15
I wanted to get this as I noticed it was being used a primer in most of the tutorials I saw it in.
I am really happy with it,I don't like moisterising my face(terrible I know) because it makes my skin feel greasy and grim(at least it does to me) with this my skin feels hydrated!I put it on a night and before my make up and the difference in my skin is lovely,its make it feel even and softXD




I also keep seeing NYX products croping up in some of the mags as well ,most recently a page spread in JELLY(which I can't seem to find at the moment) I recently brougt 2 palettes and a concealer from this seller they've not arrived yet but the seller has 100% feedback.

Dupes

Eylure at the top and MAC #7 at the bottom


Dupe for MAC#7 lash=Eylure:Miss eylure Ava (avalible from Superdrugs or Boots)
These are what I used before I got some #7's.They look alot like to me tbh,placing them together you notice their differences in size and quality but their good for a cheap alternative.Only downside I can say is the fact they come pre glued(yuk) and it's abit of a pain to remove the glue,so I stick them to something to make the glue tacky and then remove it.
Eylure with MAC #33

MAC #7 and #33




Gosh ~Darling is allegedly a dupe for MAC myth.Personaly I don't know as I've never tried either as I feel MAC myth is too dark for my skin tone,but I intend to try gosh's Darling as its relatively inexpensive(in comparison)and Superdrugs often have a 3 for 2 offer on Gosh productsXD



Lower lashes~I get mine from Screenface in London,red cherry also sell lower lash and there are lots of ebay sellers now who are selling them!Just type in "lower lashes"
Top two sets are from Screenface and the bottom set are from ebay.

Sleek have some good quality shadows and blushes,I'm liking the pixie pink one recently,looks alot like some of the ones featured in the mags.(like Canmake and NARS)

Here it is compared with MAC Well dressed and Barry M (can't remember the name:O)




Glitter Liners~Collection 2000
I love these liners,I've not tried the urban decays ones but I have swatched them and these ones seem more packed with glitter imo:)


Hope this post was of use to someone:D
Questions and feedback are welcome.

I'll proberly continue to add to this as Im not 100% happy with it but I just wanted to finally post it up.

Hope everyone had a good Xmas and New YearXD

I've been abit busy recently with xmas and friends coming to visit,so I've not really found much time to be online.hence my lack of comments,I will catch up:)

Photo Post!!

Snow from before xmas, early morning snow is the best:)





The weekend Before Xmas I went down to London to visit people and see the bf.
We went to the Westfield centre,were we did some shopping and ate Vietnamese food,it was very tastyXD
Westfield ceiling,very festiveXD

Purchases


The nest day we went to Bluewater for a friends birthday meal at TGI Fridays and I caved in at John Lewis as they had 10% of make up that day.......and got my first YSL product!!Love it!

From earlier in the month~both MAC I think
Curling my old extensions and finally getting them to look good!!
Brought criss cross lashes from ebay~I love them!

Wearing the above lashes!(I trimed my eyebrows abit more here too,what do u think?)Few hair products I brought to try out
Yay for deals,Fat hair was 2 for £7 and the dove was £1 and the Tresemme was about £1.50XD


Boxing day purchases,the shops where largely dissapointing but I did get 2 items from River island.New skinnys and a checked shirt/dressXD
The shirt is sooo soft,and the detailling is gorgeous!

Xmas eve make up,I'm loving my MAC #33 and those Criss cross lashes
Outfit shot for Boxing day night(?that reads weird) I worn the shirt with more opaque tights later in the week which worked better then leggings.
Make up for the night

My other heart quilt bag is slowly breaking so i got another one on sale,bit different from mine but still cute:) £5 I seem to be quite the bargin hunter this month.




and finally I purchased this yesterday!!!I was debating it for about 3 weeks,since my old ipod only lasts a hour which is very fustrating as I'm usually left with nothing to do on my return journey but twiddle my thumbs....blah.Got it at work for £90 since it was an obsolete product on our files.
So far I love it!Just wish my itunes wasn't being bloody awkward and would let me remove dead/broken tracks.

I forgot I saw Sherlock Holmes yesterday,it was surprisingly good:)

A piece of me ... in January 2010!

This month....
I like: the fact its a new year thus new resolutions and new beginnings.....



I don't like:that I've been a utterly rubbish blogger recently,with entries and comments:O

I want you to know: Im excited about the new year!:)year of the tiger

I've planned: aim to achieve my goals ...and be more productive when Im online so I can comment everyone:D

I want to say to someone special: to the bf:DThank you for being wonderful!
