I apologise, i've been such a bad blogger lately.. it's terrible. That does mean i can fill you in on all the gossip from whats happened in such a long time!
First of all, Christmas was great, and i hope everyone else's was too! The flu was going around that time, so most of my family had the sniffles until only a few weeks ago!
A few things i got for Christmas;
*Zebra hairdryer
*Zebra hairbrush
*MAC brush roll
*Urban Decay eyeshadows
*DKNY handbag
*Chanel phone case
*Year subscription to Vogue magazine
*Make-up trolley
I had a great New Years, i had a few friends round to play on the Wii and some silly drinking games. We had a good time.
January came, boyf's birthday, i decided to get him a mini fridge to go in his room, so he can fill it up with beer for when his friends come round. I was really happy with it, cost a lot, but he's worth it :)
This Saturday, I went to IMATS - International Makeup Artist Trade Show in London. I had a list ready the night before, and i knew exactly what stalls to go to first and what money to take!
I'd been looking at a few YouTube videos on palettes and what's the best way to go about them. I had a photoshoot the other day, used my new trolley and all my pigmented eyeshadows decided to break whilst in my car. So when i opened up my trolley ready to do my magic.. i was horrified!
I found some pretty cool palettes called Z Palettes, you can get them in Zebra, Pink, Black and Leopard print. They are fully magnetic and they can fit any size magnetic eyeshadow in them.
Unlike a MAC palette, you can only fit in 15? Eyeshadows and they all have to be a certain size to fit in them.
I got these -
2 of each. They are pretty heavy as the magnet is so strong in them, but overall it's a great product and i cannot stop touching them and looking at them. I want to buy more!
I also bought some Illamasqua blushes, the stall was selling 4 for £25 and the blushes alone were originally £15 EACH! So that there was a great bargain.
I also bought some new brushes for my own everyday make-up, i am just sick of using my brushes out of my kit and having to wash them every day so i can put them back into my brush roll.
So i decided the most sensible thing to do would be to purchase my own set.
They also had a stall called FERO where i purchased some eyeshadows for £2 each, they were the same shape as MAC and looked pretty nice to use. If they werent, i didn't lose much money! So i bought a few of them just to put in my new palettes to start them off until i burn and damage the rest of the eyeshadows i own so they can be nicely placed in the palette.
P.s - I believe the Z Palette holds up to 27/28 MAC eyeshadows, so if you have anything smaller than that, your a winner all around!
They were priced at £19.50 each but they also had 20% off at the stall. There is only 1 place in the UK that sell them.. but i'm not sure what the website is called. Just google it :)
OH! I've just painted my toenails! After almost 5 months of having them plain and boring.. They are now pretty in pink!
I will put photo's up soon! I promise that!
Focusing on my Facebook make-up page at the moment - check it out :)
