No Make-up Make-up

Today, I was a little short of time, and wanted a really quick makeup look for myself, so I decided to have a first-attempt at 'No Make-up Make-up'.

This was the result I got:

Face: 17 Foundation in 'Natural'
Eyes: Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer Kit in 'Ivory'
Cheeks: Clarins 'Mosaique' Bronzer
Lips: Avon Glazewear lipgloss in 'Clear' with SPF15

However, in my opinion the queen of 'No Make-up Make-up is Lisa Eldridge: Check this video out:


Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this blog post, and here's another picture for the road :)

SEX AND THE CITY: LASHES!!

While I was browsing the shelves at Boots last weekend I happened to come across these babies and decided that as I was attending a hen party on Friday, it would be a great idea to finally try out some false eyelashes!
Yes... I was a false eyelash virgin!

They had quite a few styles to choose from such as the other girls from Sex and the City, Girls Aloud and Naturalites. Most of the styles available though were WAY too adventurous for me to even consider trying as a first time user.
I eventually decided (after 10 minutes of evaluating the different styles) to try the Sex and the City: Miranda lashes, which are quite a natural lash with added glamour, by making the lashes thicker on the outer edge. Not outrageous- but still had a little bit of oomph! Just what I wanted.

Before even attempting to apply them, I decided to scour YouTube (my fountain of knowledge) to find a video on how to apply my lashes. I decided on watching xsparkage's video:

Super informative.

The overall lash application was pretty easy- apart from the fact that I got glue EVERYWHERE... I really need to work on that- or Eylure need to work on the packaging of LashFix- it drips everywhere...
After I applied them and added another quick coat of mascara, I was so happy with the results- they looked super natural and I got a ton of compliments!!
They ended up lasting me 2 uses, which I thought was good considering how thin they are!

Me with the lashes in :)

Overall, I would definitely buy this style again, and now that I am addicted to false lashes I am dying to try more styles, so if anyone can recommend any amazing styles, comment below!

Next I'm trying the Girls Aloud:Kimberley style- expect a post on Sunday or Monday!!
