YaY, I Won!

I was lucky enough to win, the lovely Charlotte's (Carlottas Beauty Spot) blog giveaway.

Her blog is full of great posts and product reviews. I love the photography on her blog, her pictures are also so well lit and clear! I highly recommend checking it it out here.

So i bet you're all dying to see what i won, I'm SO excited about it....

 

So, my prize included; Maybelline Illegal Length Fibre Extension Mascara. This mascara claims to give an instant lash extension effect with no flakes. I cant wait to try it! and one of my best friends has come down on holiday today, so I'm sure it'll get plenty of use this week!

I also got, not one but TWO Revlon lip butters, you may know from previous posts i am in love with Revlon lip butters, they're fast becoming my go to lip product, and if i remember rightly from the competition post these colours aren't available in the UK? (please correct me if I'm wrong) the shades i got are, 001 Pink Truffle & 085 Sugar Plum. I love the colours, and i think these products will also get a lot of use this week!

My final part of the prize was something I've had my eye on since it came out. Sleek, I-Divine Ultra Mattes Palette, there is two versions of this palette a darks and a brights. I got the darks, which I'm really pleased with as i think the colours in this palette are a lot more wearable than those in the brights. I love sleek palettes, and I'm beginning to get a little collection. The colours are so pigmented and they blend like a dream. They are velvety smooth, I also love the packaging, its really 'sleek' and reminds of the MAC 'build your own' palettes.

Charlotte was also kind enough to slip in a little card congratulating me on my win, which i think was a lovely gesture, as it makes the win a lot more personal and shows she had really put a lot of effort in to the prize.

I couldn't be happier with my prize, products I love, products I've been lusting after and a new product to try. I cant wait.

I'll try and do a FOTD or at least review the mascara etc.

A massive THANK YOU to Charlotte for such a generous prize! And make sure you head over to her blog (link at the top) and say hi!

Have you won any blog giveaways recently?

Lots of Love

For my nail of the day, I've attempted graduate glitter. I'm was surprisingly pleased with the results, but couldn't manage to get a photo that did it justice!

To create the look i used,

Maybelline, Express Finish, 40second Polish In Turquoise and L.A Colours glitter polish

I found the Express Finish, a really watery consistency, and it painted on quite streaky, two coast was sufficient. But i really had to be careful no to go over the same patch.

The glitter pay off in the LA colours isn't amazing, but it was good for the effect i wanted.

Is started by painting a tin coat over the whole nail, i then gradually added more coats, but starting from further up the nail each time, so it gave the graduated effect.

 I didn't notice till after I'd painted my nails but the LA colours glitter is actually gorgeous, I thought it was just turquoise glitter, but it also has bits of green in there as well, it looks really good!

This was the finished look....

Have you tried any different nail looks this week?

Lots of Love
