Pink Haired Princess

A kinda lacklustre Inspiretty today-I really don't know how it got to this time and I haven't really done anything! I've been making new header banners for both blogs and it's so easy to waste hours playing around with pictures, colours and fonts! This dress popped into my inbox this morning, new in at River Island, very Easter like I thought!

I kinda missed the launch of the new 'Pop Romance' lipsticks from Lime Crime last month (oops). There are three in the collection, Mint To Be (mint obvi), New Yolk City (yellow and such a cute name) and this one, Coquette, the most luscious, creamy looking nude that definitely sets my pulse racing (nude lippies do that to me). I want it desperately and the good news is, it's available from Cocktail Cosmetics in the UK right now.

I've just had to install Google Chrome because an update to my computer this morning installed an upgrade from Internet Explorer 8 to 9 and then after that I couldn't get blogger to work (you can write posts but can't publish them, so beware of using IE9 if you blog)!! GC seems to have worked and also helped the spacing issue that's been going on for the past month with Blogger/IE and I've been able to go back over old posts and edit them so the spaces are sorted (to appease my blogger OCD and my blog is once more spacing perfect)! Good points are obviously that I can get blog posts to work and it's super quick plus I like the Cath Kidston floral theme I've picked for my browser! My only gripe is it keeps saying "'shockwave flash' plug in crash" all the time...which means flashplayer isn't working and as most sites use that (plus my blog videos), I can't see them or use them. I did a quick google search and someone suggested movin...

I've seen several images from the newest Illamasqua 'Toxic Nature' collection recently. However this is the first time I've seen this one and I was a little freaked out-that's my hair! Exact same colours and pretty much the same style...freaked out!!

The best thing about changing your hair colour is getting to wear different makeup shades. I've been leaning more towards keeping my eyes simple with a flick of black liner and playing up my lips with lilac and pink colours such as MAC's Blooming Lovely, Viva Glam Gaga and Pink Friday (which I've since misplaced-hope I haven't lost it after the bother I went through to buy it) and yesterday I wore NYX Strawberry Milk which almost never works for me but looked fab yesterday. Last Friday however, I decided it was time to play with eye colours and pulled out this old Pout palette called Masque de la Nuit which contains a trio of eyeshadows to create a peacocky eye. They aren't the most pigmented I've ever used in fact it's a pity as they are gorgeous rich shades in the pan but this doesn't reflect in a swatch or on the eye. I've been increasingly loving using coloured eye pencils underneath my powder eyeshadows though, to give them kick. Any poor pigmen...
