Thank you Eyeko :)

Last week I was lucky enough to win an Eyeko giveaway on Twitter. My prize arrived today (very quick!) and I'm very impressed - so thank you Eyeko!


I received two liparazzi lipsticks (in Rehab and A-Lister), a magic mascara, a black graffiti eyeliner, a line and shine pencil in black glitter and silver, a pastel nail polish, a beauty rehab lipbalm and some face wipes. Phew, just a bit!

So I'll spend the next week reviewing these items - let me know if there's anything you want to see straight away and I'll get right on it :)

In the meantime, I've recently signed up as an Eyeko Embassador, which means if you enter this code - E8131 - at the checkout you'll get a free gift with your purchase. So go check out these items for yourselves :)

Top 5 beauty products...right now.

So I've shown you my favourite 5 items in my wardrobe, so I thought I'd branch out a bit and show you my top 5 beauty products...right now. Yes, I am just as fickle with my make up as I am with my clothes, so once again these are bound to change.


Mac Blush Ombre in Azalea Blossom. I only got this very recently but it has already found it's way into my daily make-up routine. I know Ripe Peach was the "one" to get, but after seeing swatches of both, I decided to go pink :) It's a lovely sheer colour and not as cool as it seems - very easy to layer up until you get the colour you need. Love it.


Maybelline Dream Satin foundation. This is another new addition to my collection and a pretty unexpected one. I've actually been waiting for Revlon Photoready foundation to hit the shops, but to no avail, as I have no idea when I'll ever see it! However I was in dire need of foundation and saw this on offer in Boots the other day. It was between this and Bourjois' healthy mix and I'm actually glad I went for the cheaper option. The consistency is lovely and the coverage is just what I needed - very easily blended and buildable.


Mac eyeshadow in Star Violet. This is my favourite eyeshadow of all time. It's a gorgeous shade - a deep reddy purple - goes with everything and really brings out my green eyes.


Mac lipstick in Snob. Following on from my favourite eyeshadow - my favourite lipstick...until I finally get my hands on Viva Glam Gaga!


Last but definitely not least - my beloved Ardell lashes and Duo glue - the ultimate night out accessory :)

So...what are your make-up bag essentials right now?? If you want any more in depth reviews of any of these just let me know :)
