I like to keep my eye makeup simple most of the time and the Wet n Wild Comfort Zone palette is perfect for it! I created this simple look, using three shades from the palette and it took me a couple of minutes.
Review: Liz Earle Signature Eye Colour in shade 14- Chestnut
Liz Earle Signature Eye Colour - Chestnut £13.50
"Create strikingly beautiful eyes. Our lightweight formula has a natural skin affinity, making it easy to blend for a smooth, even finish that stays true and lasts. Enriched with our own natural source vitamin E. Available in 20 shades."
I got this gorgeous eye shadow with my Glamour magazine subscription. Well... I got the subscription, especially to get two Liz Earle products :) It was such a bargain. You know how much I love Liz Earle skincare and makeup.
Etude House Princess Etoinette Crystal Shine Lipstick
Etude House Princess Etoinette Crystal Shine Lipstick in shade PPK002 £14.00
"This smooth and creamy lips tick delivers a surge of moisture and a soft shimmering flush,
giving your lips a gorgeous, healthy look"
This lipstick is officially the most beautiful one in my collection! Forget YSL Rouge Volupte. The Etude House Etoinette Crystal Shine Lipstick is just gorgeous. It is a Korean product and it is available to buy from yesstyle.com or ebay. I got mine as a present for Valentine's Day and I am in love with it. I also got the Etoinette blusher and I will be reviewing it soon too.
Urban Decay Naked Skin Beauty Balm Review
I've never tried an Urban Decay base, so I was very excited to give the Naked Skin Beauty Balm a go. I like the packaging and it reminds me of the Naked Basics palette. It comes in a 35ml tube and it is easy to use. It is designed for "zero rub-off" and to create an illusion of being invisible on the skin. It also claims to "give you a natural naked-looking skin that keeps getting better every week". I am not sure about that yet, because I have been using it for just over a week.
FOTD: Full Coverage and minimal eye makeup
I know, I know... Another neutral look... I apologize, but I really wanted to mention my Holy Grail Full Coverage Foundation. I can't imagine my life without it! It is the amazing Vichy Dermablend!!! I have been using it for over 6 years and it always saves me when I have problems with nasty breakouts. It gives the best coverage I could ask for and it is just incredible. I will dedicate a full review to it soon (and the Vichy Dermablend powder), but today you can see a little preview of the product on my face. Due to lots of stress, I got a new wave of breakouts on my neck and jawline again and it is driving me crazy!!! Without this corrective foundation I wouldn't be able to go out of the house. If you suffer from acne- you will LOVE it and it will change your life. It covers everything, without clogging your pores and looking cakey!
Korres Lip Butters: Wild Rose, Guava and Mango
Korres Lip Butters / Wild Rose, Mango, Guava £6-£7 via www.feelunique.com
"A buttery lip balm that melts on the lips and offers a shiny, tinted finish. The combination of Shea butter and Rice wax offers deep hydration and softness. Ideal for chapped lips."
I adore Korres lip butters and they quickly became my favourite lip balms. I love everything about them!
I actually reviewed the Mango one previously, but I wanted to share my little "collection" with you and swatched them all as well :) Let's start with the packaging. It is very simple and every pot has a different lid colour to match the shade of the lip butter inside :) It really helps if you have more than one.

The easiest way of removing glitter nail polish - Innisfree Peel Off Base Coat Review
I love glitter on my nails, but I really can't be bothered with removing it. It is so much hassle! I actually stopped using glitter nail polishes, until I read Amelia's post about the Innisfree Peel Off Base Coat. She has a little shop (here) with loads of Korean Beauty products and stunning jewellery and that's where I bought the Innisfree Base Coat from. It arrived really quickly, wrapped in gorgeous paper, with a cute note inside :) I also have to mention, that Amelia has a fabulous blog and if you are not following it already, you will fall in love! I promise!
Photo diary: Valentine's Day Pretties :)
Hi everyone! It is never to late to share some pretty pictures. I took all of them on Valentine's Day.
You might have seen some snaps of all the gorgeous presents I received on Instagram and Vine.
It was a lovely day. I got beautiful flowers, chocolates and loads of makeup I have been dreaming about, including a Chanel blusher, Etude House blusher and lipstick and a YSL lipstick.
Nude and elegant :)
I wasn't sure about the title of this post, but I might get some serious traffic thanks to it :) haha. I love nude nail polish, I love nude shoes and accessories and I am always trying to add more nude pieces to my wardrobe.
It is such an elegant colour and perfect for any occasion.

Hi everyone.
I hope you are having a great weekend. I promised to add more OOTD posts and to be honest, I really enjoy preparing them. Let me know if you want it to become a regular weekend thing :)
I based the outfit around the red Smile Tote bag* from www.bagbooth.co.uk.
It is a bargain-only £25! Obviously, I wish I could own the Celine Smile Tote, but it ain't gonna happen :)
