Pink Haired Princess

Hola! I'm feeling very sluggish (too much Easter chocolate and all my activity last week catching up with me), so I had zero motivation to post this yesterday and I'm not feeling much better today. However, I got to try out a different eyeliner technique and I totally failed matching the lip colour, booo! So it's worth reading for those two alone! This week, my doll is Cleo de Nile, now I'm not a collector of Cleo (there's only ever been one doll I really liked of her and it's not this one), but I got her in a multi-pack and kept her at the time. Cleo started off as a main character and although technically she was in 'the gang' she was the bitchy one that just used Ghoulia as her sidekick, so I never really warmed to her. MH then introduced her sister Nefera (who kinda put Cleo in her place to be honest) and with the addition of the cat trio as the more 'catty' characters (no pun intended), they became the nemesis of the main MH girls and ...

The final installment of the dark lipstick swatches, you'll find part 1 here and part 2 here . These are probably some of the darkest of the bunch. In all of these posts, I've tried to take photos of the lipsticks in a light that you can see roughly what colour they are, but if I were to show you an image like the one below, you can see just how dark they really are. Versace Hydrating Lipstick in V2010-C (discontinued I think), very pigmented, opaque, plum purple. Pout Two Timer (discontinued) this is a lighter, brighter purple with pink undertones and a shimmery metallic quality. Urban Decay Vinyl , looks dark purple in the tube, but is actually quite sheer with rosy tan undertones and sporadic shimmer. I hate the scent of UD lipsticks, it's liquorice and stinks! What's worse is if you lick your lips, never, ever do that, it's disgusting! Playboy Stiletto Lipstick 61 Exposed , this particular lipstick is supposed to be sheer, it's a browny wine shade. MeMeM...

Here's a selection of swatches from my Boots haul (see that post for more details). The top row are all Soap & Glory (click to enlarge). Starting with the double ended Arch de Triumph pencil containing a pink white highlighter and taupe coloured brow shaper . Next is Marvelips , another pencil duo with an iridescent highlighter and dark rust lipliner . Trick & Treat is a yellow undereye concealer, there's a very faint golden sheen to this and maybe even sporadic shimmer. I tried to blend it a little at the top of the swatch to show how it would really look when applied. Finally I got two of the Sexy Mother Pucker lip plumpers in Pink Apricot (LE Christmas shade) and they are both completely different! You can see in one that it is much lighter, but the underside of the tube is darker apricot coloured like the other gloss. Perhaps it's just the way it's been sitting in the box (it's not like it has separated, it just needs mixed I think). I hope you can s...

Are you ready for a mucho mahoosive haul post? Here's my cool Boots goodies. I can't stress enough how amazing these Christmas events are. If you don't know, you get £12 worth of points for every £50 you spend. Plus I had a voucher from last time to get an extra £5 worth of points and I have another one for the next event at the end of November. Not only that, most of the gifts are 3 for 2 (and indeed most things instore currently), so you're always getting a bargain anyway. If you can't get to a larger Boots store that are running these events, you can normally shop online for 2 days and qualify for the £12 points deal. So here's the Soap & Glory gift sets: Wait On Hand And Foot £15, Lock, Stock & Bubble £18, Double Glammy £12 (free), Glow Maintenance £25, Spa Rush! Shower! £25 Glam Packed £20 (free) Soap & Glory skincare was also 3 for 2 and I got a few things last time that I liked, so bought another Night In Shining Armour Cream £12, then got H...
