FOTD featuring Sleek

Hiya!

Today I decided to play with my makeup palettes from Sleek, normally I stick to what I know and don't venture to far from that...today though I played with black and yellows! I have to say so myself I love it!

(and it was my school colours hehe)

Open eye close up

Closed eye close up (bottom left of this pic you can see all my nail polish storage!)

Open eyes full face. I didnt apply much other makeup as I wasn't going anywhere just light foundation and a gloss. 

The Sleek palettes I used were - The Original and Sparkle (the limited edition Christmas one)

I hope you like it, I think I am going to play more with the black and along with other colours to see what I come up with :D

NOTD featuring Cupcakes!

Hi my lovelies!

Todays mani was suggested by my good friend Sarah, she suggested a pink gradient with cupcakes and even named the BM plate I should use :D

Right hand with mini fail on ring finger, at least I tried to fix it though hehe!

The enigmatic left hand ;)

Close up arty shot and you can see the awesomeness of the glitter topcoat!

What I used...

•  Stargazer topcoat as base and top cos am a dunce!
• Poundland Starshine as the base colour (seriously the best fricking silver ever!)
• Then I sponged 17 Fairycake from about a 2/3's of the nail down to the tip
• Next I took 2True in Shade 1 and sponged that from the last 3rd to the tip
• Stamped cupcakes on ring fingers and thumb using BM13 and Konad Black
• Lastly coated every nail with the amazing WetnWild Kaleidoscope, I love this polish so sparkly and eyecatching :D

Thats it folks, thanks for all the lovely comments & new followers lately, I appreciate everysingle one of you! 

Until next time...

DIY...Hair Donut

Today I have something different for you all, a little easy DIY project!

This is so simple and you only need 2 things

1. Pair of old tights
2. Scissors

Step 1 - Cut the toes and crotch/waist part off leaving you with the two leg parts

Step 2 - Roll the tights in on themselves, I rolled about an inch thick, keep rolling until you can't roll no more, it will look like this...

And thats it! 1 hair donut from one leg of tights, so each pair will make 2, I know have 4 hehe!!! 

Here is what my hair looks like with it in, I like my hair to look a bit messy when its in buns etc so yes its supposed to look like this, you can obviously have yours very sleek if you wanted to :D

Hope you all enjoyed this little bit of different here on my bloggy wog :D

Tomorrows post will be nail related

Open Close Up

What I used

• Collection 2000 Natural Matt Foundation in "3-Natural Beige"

I purchased the 20 Sample Baggie Grab Bag which cost $22.50 roughly £14 and the shipping was reasonable.

WIth every Glamour Doll Eyes purchase you get 2 free samples so I was expecting 22 I got 23! The colours I got are all amazing expect more looks soon :D

My samples came in baggies, I depotted the 3 I wanted to use today in Jars. There is a lot in the baggies enough to use each shadow various times! Vee also sells sample jars too.

I will definitely be buying more and think I will buy the jars next time as it saves money in the long run :D
