D.I.Y Clutch Purse

Hey guys
So yesterday in london It was snowing really bad and I ended up staying in most of the day which got my youtubeing D.I.Y's. I looked at a few when I came across cute duct tape purses. I didn't exactly copy to detail but heres a look at my attempt.

I decided to make mine a little different by adding a magazine cover and content page to the front of the clutch purse and then I added an advertisement on the inside for the card holder. 

It was really easy to make, Unfortunately I didn't take step by step pictures but if you youtube Duct tap Purses / Clutches you'll see some tutorials if your interested. I don't actually know if i'd wear it out but I do think it looks really cute, A few of my friends have already placed orders lol. 

Please escuse my chipped nail varnish x_x

Fearne Cotton - Shimmering Eyes Swatches

Hey guys
So I received this Shimmering Eyes set , by Fearne Cotton, for christmas from one of my cousins. It contains a eyeshadow base, brush, 2 glitters and 2 shimmering shadows.

Here are the swatches of the shadows, the two shadows are really pigmented. Although it is very loose and easy to pick up and work with. The glitters however were quit messy and a lot was needed to make these swatches. However I think the colours are really pretty and I'm looking forward to trying them out on a EOTD :)

I really like the eyeshadow base. It is very creamy and makes a really good base colour, I've tried it with other shadows and it helps colours stay on and blend well together, which will defiantly be good for when i try out the glitter. 

Has anyone else used glitter eye shadows before and are they easy to work with? 

I hope everyone has a great week, take care

My Christmas Dress

Hey guy's
Im so excited my christmas dress came in the post :), I didn't actually think it would come in time as I ordered it from ebay during the whole 'christmas rush'. I'm always so last minute and just hoped for the best. And lucky it came on the day excepted day. So Thank the seller FantasiaBoutique for such a great service and dispatch.

So heres a look at the dress

Plus postage it cost just under £19 from FantasiaBoutique, And it has a gorgeous gold detailing. My bad pictures and smudged mirror are not doing the dress any justice.

The dress comes in all the colours above. You can have a better look here.

This is just a quick post as i still have to go out and buy a few more presents. I hope everyone is enjoying there holidays

Sleek True colour Lipstick in Cherry (Review)

Hey Guys
So yesterday I brought a new lipstick. I was looking for something to wear to a christmas party I have coming up and wanted to sort out my look from now.

Swatch 

So as it is the festive season and warm colours are on trend, I wanted a warm colour that would go with my black & gold embellished dress. So as i was looking for a plum-red shade i was very pleased when I came across this Cherry 790 lipstick by Sleek in superdrugs. I love the colour and think it matched what i had in mind. And as its by sleek, its only £4.99 :)

My Review - Sleek True colour Cherry 790 (Sheen) 

So here's what I thought about it after wearing it all day today

Pros

• Long lasting colour, didn't really need to reapply not even after eating 
• The formula is very creamy which makes it very moisturising 
• Small and sleek tube easy to carry around in makeup bag
• Great price at only £4.99
• Unscented, so doesn't have that weird lipstick smell I have experienced with other cheaper brands 
• Great Pigmentation 

Cons

• I really don't have much to complain about

So overall I am very pleased with this purchased, I got a lot of compliments from friends which is an added bonus. And it held up during this cold weather. I had used sleek eyeshadow previously but didn't think to use their lipstick but now I'm glad i did :) Does anyone else use sleeks lipsticks or buy any other of the Sleek products?

I hope everyone is enjoying the christmas season, Take Care
