In the Navy

When I was around 15/16 and we could finally wear make-up at school (although, I'd been doing it for years by then) I used to ring navy blue eyeliner around my eyes. I used a colour from a Front Cover kit and their shadow line which turned any eye shadow into a liner. And actually worked quite well.

I'm usually seen with a more neutral lid going on, but occasionally I like to wear a pop of colour. But this time the brand of choice is Sleek.

What's in my hand luggage?

This week I’m off to the Shetland Islands to visit my boyfriend. I’m flying with hand luggage only so thought I would do a quick post showing what I’m taking. I’ve come to realise that compacting your make-up and skin care life down into 100ml and the correct size of plastic bag is near on impossible. I’ve had to leave out some basics that I’ll beg, borrow or steal once I get there (deodorant and anything needed in the shower). 

Review: Maybelline Colour Tattoo – On and On Bronze

I have two other colours of these so I knew I loved them before I decided to add to my collection. I have Eternal Gold and Permanent Taupe, which I love and I’ve hit the bottom of Eternal Gold.

On and On Bronze, however might be my favourite of the lot, it’s the perfect bronze colour and looks gorgeous when it’s on and (as recommended by EssieButton) with a Champagne colour over, the example below is Sin from the Urban Decay Naked palette. I have basically worn this everyday since I got it, I’ve not tried combining the three together but I imagine it could be done. They go on with a creamy consistency but once dry won’t budge. I’m not sure they last 24hours, but they certainly last 8 at least on me without a primer. They make amazing bases for eye shadow and I think everyone should have one, at least. I still haven't fully conviced myself I could pull off Turquoise though...
