Makeup Video: Sidecar'd By Sam

Everyone knows about the blog wife, Sam, so there is really no need to introduce her (again anyway) so  I'll skip that lool.

I've been meaning to do a Youtube video for a very long time but I've really not been feeling well lately  so never got round to it. I finally gave myself a big push today and got round to filming a video response to Sam's New Year Eve Glittery Tutorial which was a super easy holiday look using Sidecar for the Urban Decay Naked Palette, that I really wanted to try out.

I am using my brand new camera to do this video and I haven't even taken any pictures with it yet but decided to just dive in and do a video, so the colour settings are not the greatest (as I had no clue what I was doing).

FOTD:- Cute as a Button

I've spent a lot of this week jamming around in my house, eating my weight in chocolate digestive, watching an obscene amount of TV and generally acting like a big kid. This is just a little FOTD dedicated to how I'm feeling right now (bloody comfy).

 I think I look ridiculously younger in this FOTD . . . who knows, maybe chocolate digestives are the key to the fountain of youth.

Foundation - MAC Studio Fix in NW45

Eyebrows - MAC Pencil in Stud

Concealer - MAC Studio Finish in NW40

Eyeshadow Base - Illamasqua Cream Eyeshadow in Linger

Highlight on Eyebrow - Urban Decay Buck (Naked Palette)

So what do you think?? How old do I look in this FOTD??

Goodies from a Blog Sale

Early last week, Maria Sparkle had a blog sale and I picked up a few things that I really liked. Apart from the 2 O.P.I Nail polishes in Pearls Night Out and Text me, text you and I also picked up  . . .

URBAN DECAY'S NAKED PALETTE!!!!

 The colours don't really look used, but you can tell sin, sidecare, half baked, virgin have been used a little more than the other palette colours but I really don't mind in the slightest.

Since I have got my sticky fingers on this velvet cased beauty, I will be doing a sanitary post showing you how I sanitize eyeshadows (not that there's anything wrong with Maria of course) but it really is something that is worth making a post about.
