It's Christmas when the glitter comes out...♥

Hello gorgeous girlies! Glitter is not just for the small people. It can look fabulous on us too! Reading this weeks “Look” magazine I came across the article on “Glitter for Grown-Ups”. Showing the suggestion of glitter on the lips, eye lids, and the corner of the eye, can be a sophisticated and glamouros image. As seen both on the catwalk and on celebrities AKA the new Mrs Brand.

Here is Dior on the catwalk showing glitter ,when used properly, can be stylised and aluring.

Now today I have gone for a party look ideal for your work's Christmas party.  The stars of the show are: Natural Collection Moonshine eyeshadow (look's like pressed silver glitter), BARRY M's silver Eyeliner in the corner and under my bottom lid, BARRY M's Glitter Dust in denim, and Lancome's Juicy Jibes lip gloss. All these have glitter in, so I shimmer as I glide through the street, hehe!

Here is me!

I hope you like my post, love Hannah x

Claudia Winklemen clone? ♥

Who's your unusual inspiration?

Today I am writing about someones face I wish I had. Claudia Winklemen. Claudia is 38 years old, an English television presenter, radio personality and journalist. Currently she is one of the presenters of “Strictly Come Dancing”. She has stunning fashion sense too. I have opted for a Claudia makeover!

My procedure:

·        I have cut my fringe.

·        I went to see my Mummy & I had a St.Tropez tan all over.

·        I used Clinique’s really black Kohl pencil around my eye and smudged it.

·        Next Maybelline Falsies Express Mascara to enlarge my lashes.

·        I have super sore lips, so just Vaseline on the lippies.

·        I penciled in my eyebrows.

·        To conclude with Clarin’s Raspberry blush.

·        Oh and a bit of concelor in a medium colour, on any spottiness!

·        I then used my red Dior nail varnish (842) with Barry M’s nail effects for some uber cool nails.

Things I bought for my makeover are:

• Maybelline's Falsies Mascara- I adore it!!!
• Maxfactor eyebrow pencil- a little hard, but a perfect shade for me.
• Barry M Nail effects- finally got hold of one! I think it's uber funky monkey!

So watch out Claudia! What do you think of my mini makeover? So who's your unusual inspiration and why? I would love to know. ♥

Simply Feare, Fearne Cotton's new makeup range. ♥

Hello ladies, the gorgeous TV presenter and professional rock chick Fearne Cotton has taken her first step into the world of beauty, launching a new make-up range, called simply 'Fearne', for Boots.

Some may think “yeah, yeah”, another celebrity endorsement. But I have to say it’s really decent. I saw an interview about her new adventure and she claimed she always does her own makeup, as she just loves the stuff, but people always assume she has a makeup artist. She studied art and design so it was a great oppourtunity to bring her passion into her work. She has been working on it for years! The range was a natural step as she is a make-up junkie and even though it's a collaboration, she was given free reign over the design.

I went in to Boots to find her and had a bit of a makeup fiddle and have to say I am really impressed by it, and I now want it!

My favourites are “Made you look made you stare” eyeshadow palette... the colours are funky monkey and the pigmentation is great. My second is her “Shimmer dusk dust” perfect for a night of cocktails with the ladies, adds extra glam to the face.

Why I like her range:

• It’s handbag friendly.
• It has fabulous colours.
• The package design is chic also.

I don’t care what Keith Lemon says, Fearne Cotton is gorgeous, haha! Now... don’t be a DINGBAT and buy this box ASAP, it’s a Christmas set for £19.00, but Friday it will go back to being £40.00! Or grab your boyfriend, point to the screen and say slowly Christmas Present!  If you can’t get to town, order it online.

I have written about Nicola Roberts makeup range http://madeupbyhannah.blogspot.com/2010/10/pretty-in-pale.html but I am not aware of any other celebrity makeup ranges. I know Girls Aloud have their fabulous eyelashes though. Anyone tried Fearne's range yet? Are you a fan of her makeup style anyway?

Before I go

Have you got an Iphone? There is a free BARRY M  Iphone application and it's lush. It has uber lots of videos to get different makeup looks. It's a super App!

My bootiful boots haul. ♥

I love boots. It's got Chanel and Barry M. Rimmel and Clarins. They have got the rich with the poor.  If your having a shit day, you can go to boots in your lunch hour and buy 3 decent products with out making the scary boyfriend angry. Then buy doing this purchasing act, you then look forward to going home and trying these products. Once wearing your fabulous new products your boyfriend will give you lots of kisses.

3 for 2 at Boots at the moment, so get in there quick!

Barry M Silver eyeliner

Love it! A waterproof, long wear formulation in a retractable pack for easy use. This photograph is not of me, it's from bubblegarm.blogspot.com as my camera photo's were rubbish! I own the pink, and once I saw her post, I felt the silver was a festive season must.

Barry M Fine Glitter Dust Denim

It's loose pearl colour that have been cleverly blended with ultra fine, diamond like glitter flecks to dazzle.  I chose the dark denim and it's really the colour in the photo, it's uber pigmentated. I previously bought the yellow gold version and I adored it. I decided to try over 20 colours in boots and got into a right mess! Ideal to experiment with for the wilder, more adventurous make-up fans.Try on the cheeks, lips and body to create a stunning glitzy look!!!

Eylure Naturalites Eyelashes

As you can probably  tell I have bought a dramatic eye look. Through experience with clients and myself, I know the difference between drag makeup and fabulous makeup. When doing an amazing dramatic eye style, don't always think over the top quirky  lashes will always work, you may end up looking like a drag artist. So today I went for a natural set to add volume and fullness, but still allows my eyes to be sophisticated and sexy.
