Palette focus...

4 comments

I've had this leopard print Z palette for over two years now and it still looks like new. I've recently rearranged/decluttered my makeup and realised just how perfect the Z palette is to mix and match what I like to use on a regular basis.  I then decided to get rid of my MAC 15 eyeshadow palette and replace it with this lovely large white Z palette, it's far more practical as I can fit various sizes of eye shadows and blushers into it. 


I depotted my Benefit cheeky sweet spot box o' blushes set, I use this now to store some small blushers as it is too nice to throw away. In this lovely small z palette I have the four benefit products I use the most ~Hoola~dandelion~balla bamba~coralista 



I was able to fit 23 items into this large Z palette.  I prefer this to my old MAC palette(solid black lid), the reason being this one is transparent therefore I feel I use my eye shadows more, before I would forget what products I had and kept using the same ones everyday.

From top left I have MAC bisque, Natural Collection in shroom, MAC concrete, soap and glory aubersheen, MAC Satin Taupe, MAC blackberry, soap & glory dandy plum, MAC scene, MAC smut, soap & glory smokin, MAC nehru, revlon (not sure what colour), benefit rockateur blush, MAC carbon, loreal solo eye shadow (not sure of name), Stila jezebel, Stila illiamani, Stila kalahoo, benefit sugarbomb, the 4 small eye shadows are from an estee lauder travel set.

Do you like to depot eye shadows or prefer to keep them in their packaging?

8 Shades of copper...

8 comments


I have recently been loving copper coloured eyeshadows as they make my blue eyes stand out. I bought the NYX eyeshadow as I thought I didn't have any copper colours and of course being a makeup addict I had already got some lovely copper shades.

Fearne Cotton eye shadow palette - this is one of Fearne's palettes from her Christmas line in Boots.


GOSH pigment - I think these must be discontinued as I can't find them online


PURE eye shadow cube - again I think this is discontinued:(





Too Faced Mocha Meteor - this is a baked eye shadow which has shades of rich brown, copper and an almost champagne colour.  I think this must be discontinued as I can't find it being sold online.


Jemma Kidd eye shadow from the Backstage kit


What's your current favourite eyeshadow colour?

Healthy homemade cinnamon popcorn...

Leave a Comment

Homemade popcorn is so simple, I was addicted to the sweet & salty flavoured popcorn so I made myself stop buying it and start making my own at home.

Ingredients - Coconut Oil - cinnamon - popcorn kernals

~Melt a few tablespons of coconut oil in a large saucepan, covering with a lid

~Once melted shake in some cinnamon and mix

~Add the popcorn kernels and stir to coat the kernels in the mixture

~Keep on a lower heat and cover

~You will then start to hear that wonderful sound of the kernels popping 

~Once you hear the last of the kernels pop, remove from the heat

*Warning you need to keep an eye on it as it can burn easily, but nothing a dishwasher or overnight steep can't fix.  Also be careful as the coconut oil does splash when hot*

Recipes usually say to cook the popcorn then add the desired flavours but I find this way creates the best flavour and coats the popcorn better.

NUXE love...

In this beautiful set you will find:

50ml Huile Prodigieuse Dry Oil which can be used on your face, body and hair

Huile Prodigieuse Dry Oil Golden Shimmer, this can be used on your face, neck and can also be applied to your hair

40ml Prodigieuse Cream Antioxidant Facial Moisturiser - I have dry/combination skin, this cream is really rich and sinks straight into my skin

•Candle Bougie Prodigieuse - this candle is not only nice to look at but also has a spa like smell to it.

I got this amazing set during the boxing day sale for £20 on the Marks and Spencers website.  You all need to go and check out the Marks & Spencers beauty section as they are selling a lot of the 'cult' beauty products. This NUXE set was such an amazing deal as the 50ml oil to buy is £17 and the face cream is £21.  I wish I has bought two of these now:(

I have been using the face oil every night and the face cream every morning and I am in love with them, they feel so luxurious.  I have really dry skin around my nose and this has been the only thing that has helped with this. I haven't tried the oils on my hair or body yet but so far I can say I will definitely be repurchasing this once its all used up:)

Have you tried any NUXE products, if so what are your favourites?
