The Sunday Edit #6

I'm well aware I haven't exactly been doing this on a weekly basis as promised but really, I had nothing to even blog about... unless you count lazing around and shopping somewhat interesting. I didn't really fancy turning your brains to mush with the lack of activity in my current routine. However, since its been a few weeks, I thought this post was due for an update. 

Lets Talk Nail Care

Nail polish has to be the very first beauty product I fell in love with, essentially introducing me to the world that is beauty. Now, I have slight confession to make... I used to bite my nails. Yep, ever heard of a nail addict that used to vigorously tear at her poor nails ... that was me. This was until I discovered nail art and all the wondrous colours that could adorn my fingers. Since then, I would say I keep my nails in quite a healthy condition and will always, and I mean always have polish on. 

Eyes Of The Day #3 : Smoked Taupe

A fairly simple look with the ever brilliant Naked Palette. It isn't necessarily for a special occasion but I fancied something a little more on the smokier side today. Using Maybelline Colour Tattoo in 'On and on Bronze' as a base, I lightly washed 'Sidecar' over the top to create a more taupe-y lid. I then blended out any potential harsh lines on the upper lid using 'Naked' and deepened the crease/outer V using a mix of 'Smog' and 'Dark Horse'. I finally topped it off with lashings of mascara and my trusty lashes from Eylure in '020'.

Hope you all have a lovely friday! 

The Brows.

To me, brows make the face. They add structure, an extra dimension and if done right, can change the entire look. I'm sure you've seen images of celebrities photoshopped without eyebrows... not a pretty sight, right? Even the stunningly beautiful Mila Kunis looks a tad odd. That alone puts the brows at top priority and of high importance. If you ever have the misfortune of witnessing me make up free, I'm most certain the brows will still be in place. 

MONTHLY FAVOURITES: November

Cozying up on the couch with a lovingly warm cranberry and raspberry cuppa; racking my brain on how to introduce this post, I'm wondering how this year has flown by so quickly. It seems most unreal that the next time I'll be contemplating on how to start a monthly favourites post, christmas will have already been and gone. Crazy, I know. 

Right, enough with the deep thoughts. This month has been somewhat uneventful; a few shopping trips and the usual dinners out but nothing too extravagant. In terms of make up, I've been chopping and changing on a daily basis, desiring the vamped lip one day but a smoked eye the next.
