Snowy Sunday light look and new thoughts

Happy Sunday my Sparkles. 

It's day 11 of none stop snow here in Norway, so this morning me and my boys (3 huskys) went out with the dog sledge and had loads of fun. Came home to a nice hot coffee and some skin loving time , 

After a nice face mask cleanse and tone I desided I really didn't want to put a full coverage foundation on today. I mean I only plan on staying in, crocheting and using social media, so I opted to try my wetnwild bb cream again. 

For those of you who have read my blog posts or watch my YouTube videos for a bit you will know I was not overly impressed with the bb cream. But in the interest of giving things a chance I used it again. This time I'm pretty happy with it. I put some concealer on first under my eyes and the red spots round my nose and mouth which are pretty bad ATM due to being hormonal. 

After using the bb cream I used a little powder and mascara and was good to go. I think using the concealer under the bb cream has made a big difference in how I feel about it. Today I'm happy with my skin tone using it. I think I may have to give it another go this week and see if this opinion stays or if I revert back to the not so happy camp. 

On that note I am off to curl up with my crocheting on the sofa infringing of the wood fire 

Hope you are all having a great day. 

Love and sparkles

Im putting it down to being distracted with my new NYX goodies Im waiting on lol do ya believe me is it working?

NYX Cosmetics UK and Geek Sheek and an interesting read from MyBeautyBunny

Good Morning and Happy Friday my Sparkles, 

Hope you are all doing well and looking forward to the weekend. it is still snowing here in Norway, I think we are on day 6 of constant snow. whats your weather like? 

I have a few things to talk with you about today so I hope you have got your coffee with ya. 

As some of you may know I am now on TWITTER. I have been following Jen from my beautybunny who has put up a very interesting blog post about why why-i-got-plastic-surgery/ . It made a very good read and personally I found it interesting as I am waiting to have cosmetic surgery myself . . .  Maybe a future blog post eh, what do you guys think? 

You know as much as I love living in Norway, sometimes it is just down right a pain in the butt. We don't get alot of known brands like the UK and USA and when we do the price is soo high compared its outrages. Thank god for online stores and friends and family back home in good old Blighty eh lol. (and dont even get me started on cheese, gravy and stuffing lol)

I ordered from .nyxcosmeticsstore Uk and it has arrived with my bestie in Scotland. I cannot wait for it to get to me so I can have a good old play.

The Eye shadow Palette's where on sale at 5.50 and I got them in
I dream of Jamaica
I dream of Aruba and
I dream of  St John.

The lip glosses are a set called Love Anthems and are only 10 pound..

I also got various lipsticks and some nail varnish and once I have them I will let you know coloours etc and do swatches so watch this space in the not tooo distant future.

As I sit and write this to you all I have gone for the plain geek sheek look. Ive not done my hair or makeup today, just washed put on fresh pj's lit my jasmin candle and got own to it. Im on a role and dont wanna stop lol. What about you, what are you up2?

I was chatting to a friend yesterday who, like me has very curly hair. Which can be the bane of my life at times. But I have a new item to add to my wish list to try. A curling wand. Do any of you have one? What do you think? She used one yesterday and says it is amazing on her hair. Instead of the many tight curls we both have she was able to make loose ringlets. Which let me tell you is no easy task. Unless you have hair that is curly and prone to frizz with the slightest hint of dampness you will not understand how much time money and energy is spent on products and new gadgets that are meant to help lol. Although I cant go wrong with moroccan oil and my straightners lol. whats your fav hair tool and worst hair nightmare? 

well folks on that question I am going to sign off and get myself ready to do a room tour video. 

Hope you all have a great day and dont forget to sparkle. 

Stay warm have fun 

love and fairy dust

Wish List Products

Hello Sparkles,

You know one of the things I love about social media is connecting with you all. Receiving your comments and ideas and sharing our hints and tips. Saying that today's post is more of a request than me sharing anything.

I have a few products I really want to try but I don't know which brand to buy. So this is where you guys come in. I would like to know which brands you recommend and why.

Ok first on the list is a dry shampoo. Now things to take into consideration are the fact I have really naturally curly hair so this pref has to be anti fizz or conditioning. If it even comes with theses options lol.

Second is a Gel or Liquid liner. I do not normal get on with these however I feel its about time I really tried to get the feel for them lol.

So what do you guys want to try over the coming month?

I have seriously been spending to much money recently but hey a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do right, Ive bought some NYX makeup and a new camera to hopefully shoot better quality videos and pictures. Im still having issues editing and I swear I am going to end up pulling my hair out lol.

Whats everyone got planned for today? I think I am going to chat to my bestie in Scotland on skype and have a skin pamper day.

Be careful and stay warm and dont forget to sparkle.

Love and Mascara

Wet n wild Spoiled Brat

Happy Sunday All, 

Well today's makeup is brought to you mainly using Wet N Wild products. I fell in love with the Spoiled Brat eye shadow trio when I seen it and just had to buy it. The colour's are so bright and shimmer so nicely. Not only have I used the spoiled brat eye shadow trio but I also used

 Wet N Wild's mega length mascara and

 Colour icon eye and brow pencil in taupe. 

I love all these products and the colour icon pencil is my fav to fill in my brows. 

The rest of my face was done with the following products

L'Oreal True Match foundation in Golden Beige. 

Revlon Age Defying concealer. 

Nyx Butter Gloss in Merengue

Here is my finished look.




I have got a video to upload and my only issue was for a day time look I wasnt happy with the silver for me it was a little to much so I ended up blending it off my brow bone and using more mutted colour. but for an evening look it was great. I am happy with how it turned out minus the silver though I did leave it as an accent on the corner of my inner eye. That aspect would be down to person taste and nothing to do with the quality of the eye shadows, which are A1.

Well I am off to try and edit the video now lol I am not having much look with finding an easy to use editing program though arrrggghhh.

Stay warm and sparkle.

Love and foundation
