Adele Inspired Makeup Brit Awards 2011

I just saw Adele's Brit performance for the first time yesterday and immediately fell in love. Her makeup was gorgeous too, so I had a go at recreating it. I'm not completely happy with it, but hey ho!

You can see her performance video here...

Guilt Free Sweet Treats

There a few reasons as to why I won't be tucking into a plate that looks like this on Tuesday.. (I don't eat flour, wheat, gluten etc, I am on a strict diet blah blah blah)

(am actually drooling)

But the geniuses (or geni-i?) at Wahanda know how to keep us girls in sweet treats, without ruining our diets (unlike the girl at Starbucks on Wednesay who topped off my SKINNY White Cafe Mocha with Whipped Cream!) I digress...

I have just been catching up on my blogroll and I am loving this tag which is new to me: How Much is Your Face Worth?

See here and here for some inspiration...

I have a rough idea of how much my entire pro kit is worth if it had to be replaced, but I don't really keep an eye on my own personal makeup. I've chosen my favourite daytime look products, including skincare...

Rodial Glamtox Eyelight: £92

FACE Atelier Ultra Foundation: £34

If I take the Rodial Eye Cream out, as I didn't buy that myself, it takes it down to £245.79, but still!!

*goes for a lie down in a dark room and thinks of ways to prevent husband seeing this post*

I tag you all to do the same, comment here and leave me links to your posts so I can feel better about myself!

Glitter For Grown Ups

From a distance, this nail polish is bluffin' with it's muffin. Here, it's completely unassuming.

This is Bad Romance by Deborah Lippmann. Isn't it gorgeous?!

Inspired by (unsurprisingly!) by Lady Gaga, this is a black nail lacquer infused with fuschia/purple glitter. Unfortunately, I just couldn't quite capture it right actually painted on my nails and no matter which angle I tried, my camera wouldn't play ball, so I don't have any swatches for you, but the pay-off is pretty much like it looks here.

Although you can paint it over a naked nail and after 2 or 3 coats you will build up a solid black base, using more than 1 coat starts to 'blur' the glitter. So for application, I'd recommend doing your nails first with either a bright purple or black nail polish, then paint 1 coat of this over the top. Finish with a high shine top coat to keep the finish smooth & glossy.

This nail polish is available in other shades; I still have my eye on Ruby Red Slippers! Available exclusively from the House of Fraser Apothecary from £16.
