FOTN: Style Warriors







Just a quick FOTN from tonight done because I'm bored and wondered if it was possible to use all of the e/s's together and for it to not look stupid. I haven't put on before makeup as I took these at midnight and don't want panda eyes in the morning.


Thought that my favourite e/s would be Vibrant Grape but isn't, surprisingly I prefer Tempting which is just gorgeous.

Barbara Daly concealer (Fair) as a base
MAC e/s Soft Force all over lid, then as a highlight after Tempting
MAC e/s Bright Future inner corner
MAC e/s Vibrant Grape outer corner
MAC e/s Night Manoevers crease, lower lashline and as a brow powder
MAC e/s Tempting over N.M
MAC f/l Blacktrack upper lashline
MAC ccb Luna under brow and over Scatterays
Benefit high brow on waterline
Too Faced bronzer Sun Bunny on cheeks
MAC Solar bits in Scatterays above S.B (as a cheek highlighter)
MAC CCb Luna over Scatterays
MAC l/s Morange
MAC d/g Utterly Posh

MAC Fall Collections

Been on Specktra and Temptalia have come to the terrifying conclusion that I need to have at least £272.12 for the items I really, really want the most this Autumn. Thankfully, there is only 1 or 2 things I've seen after Style Warriors and Naked Honey leaving me to try and keep my cash aside for the days these are released. I have been drooling over the eyeshadows due to be released, it's just a pain that the majority of it will be out in the Makeup Art Cosmetics Collection in September rather than staggered over 3 or 4 collections where I could buy without making myself quite poor.

Vanity Post

Yet another post not entirely to do with makeup.  I would do a FOTD, but my eyes are very sore as a result of having had virtually no sleep and not needing to go anywhere, have decided not to try and force it. Hoping to make it into town to do some shopping tomorrow (want to grab one of those sleek Acid pallets and something from style warriors). Am supposed to be going to Glasgow to visit relatives and friends but my exam results are due the day were meant to be there and I really want to be able to access my results online  so that I know whether or not I will have any sort of a summer. On the other hand Glasgow shopping is amazing and I'm a bit homesick even after all this time. 

It is far too hot and my room is like a sauna, the cat is not impressed and has been stretching herself out taking up as much space as one small cat can manage.  She is just so lucky she is so cute and I don't want to go to sleep just now, or I'd be forced to kick her off the bed.

On the plus side,  I have managed to get my hands on MACs Gladiola lipstick.  I went to buy it  shortly after it came out and they'd sold out but someone was selling one for $10 shipped to the UK and used once which I just had to have.  Went to try and order Purple Rite last night of the website but it has sold out so I need to make a trip into town to see if they have it but I'm not very hopeful. I also LOVE the e/s's for style warriors so might get those when I'm in or just wait until we go up to Glasgow, but again I'm not holding out much hope of finding it.

Ipod drama no. 2

Apple restored access to the songs we'd bought on itunes and after putting them onto the ipod (and backing them up onto a CD) and uploading my CDs (about half of them anyway) I discovered that I had too much music for my ancient ipod to hold and now have to upload songs one by one, removing songs I rarely listen to in favour of my newest purchases (buying music at the click of a button is dangerously easy and costly, but on the plus I now just have songs I like and not just one or two and 10 others so I actually save in the long run plus I lack the storage space for many more discs I have about 100+ CDs and then a few double and treble CD compliations in my bedroom alone and a load more in storage and many have gone to that great CD graveyard known as my brothers room...). Hoping to upgrade my nano to one of those 16gb ipods that can hold thousands of songs but they cost about £200 and I'd want to buy a few new songs to go on it.

Anyway I should be going to bed, I got less than 2 hours sleep last night and I need to go up to Leeds in the morning.  I just never realised that I literally thought I would die, if I didn't have hundreds of songs at my fingertips at any given time.
