Hey beauties!
When it comes to eyeshadow, this shade isn't something I would usually go for. It became part of my collection thanks to it being part of a little pack of Dainty Doll items I picked up in TK Maxx a few months ago. It also contained a blush and lipstick, but with the packet being well sealed, it was difficult to figure out what the colours were before purchasing.
On first impression, I wasn't all too pleased with the shadow. Upon swatching it's seemed very chalky, but the pigmentation was pretty great. I had mixed feelings and it ended up just sitting in my stash barely used. Until Monday.
I felt like doing something a little different and reached for the brightest colour I own. You can see the look I created with it here.
The shadow is very soft and easily blendable. It also surprised me with very little fallout. As you can see in Monday's post, the colour is vibrant, just as it is in pan. It's so strong that it will not budge entirely unless you use a proper eye make-up remover. I discovered this after a 12 mile bike ride, and the blue was the only thing left on my face.
As with all Dainty Doll products, I like the sleek and simple packaging. It seems pretty hard wearing, but I can't help but feel that the lid was made to include a mirror. Does anyone feel that way?
As far as I'm aware, Dainty Doll is pretty tricky to get your hands on, so keep your eyes peeled in your local TK Maxx, or even on fragrancedirect.com. They had a few bits last time I had a gander.
I think I paid around the £8 mark for the three items, so if you can grab yourself a bargain, I definitely recommend it.
All in all, I like the overall performance of this shadow, I just wish I could come up with some other ways to wear it. Maybe the summer will bring out some crazy blue trends.
Do you have an Dainty Doll recommendations?

Wednesday Wishlist
barrym | beauty | blogger | cosmetics | gelly | lime crime | mac | makeup | nars | obessive compulsive | occ | wednesday wishlist | whenflowersfall
Lime Crime - Contessa Florencent, Chinchilla & Poisonberry // OCC lip tar - Digitalis & Grandma
MAC Temperature Rising Pro Longwear Bronzing Powder // NARS Laguna
Viva Glam Nicki 2 Lipstick // Barry M Gelly Polish - Papaya & Key Lime
Barry M Sequin Polish - Pink // Barry M Texture Polish - Atlantic Road
Just a few items I'm lusting over at the minute.
I'm always wanting to add to my Barry M nail paint collection, so there's just a few shades above that I don't already have.
I'm also going a little mad for lip products at the moment, and I haven't yet been lucky enough to get my hands on any OCC or Lime Crime lovelies. Also, something that as a beauty blogger, I feel ashamed to say, is that I don't actually own any MAC or NARS products!! Shock horror!
I've never really felt the urge, but recently I just want it all.
I guess, luckily I have no money to buy any of these things, but that isn't something new. Maybe I should called these Wednesday posts 'stuff I want, but cannot afford. Ever.'
Forever wishing I could find a job that would work for me and my anxiety.

I'm focussing this week on blog posts and videos, so if you have any requests or suggestions for either, please feel free to leave a comment below.
Make-up wise, I've really started to enjoying playing around with different styles and colours again. Even though I'm not doing much today, and probably not even leaving the house, I really wanted a use a pop of colour and this bright blue is just perfect! No doubt it will be dripping off of my face within the next couple of hours, it seems we are actually having some sort of Summer?! But if I'm honest, I'd trade a face of make-up for some hot, sunny days anyday.
Today I'm wearing...

NYX Jumbo Eyeshow Pencil - Gold

Hey Beauties!

Hey beauties!
I feel a little bit like a fraud today, as this make-up is actually what I was wearing yesterday.
I was filming my monthly favourites and empties videos, trying out a few new products I have recently been sent, felt a little sicky and figured I would take some snap shots in case I felt worse today. Which I do.
I feel like I'm always ill at the moment, so I'm going to invest in some vitamins on pay day.
I've not had my yearly dose of bad tonsillitis yet and I feel this may be the lovely beginnings of it.
Oh joy!
But, I'm just going to let it runs its course and hopefully I will be feeling better in a few days. Rest and general silence usually works wonders.
I will not be sick for the Leeds Fabb Event. It just will not happen!
I hope you are all well.

Hey beauties,
If you are subscribed to my Youtube channel, then you may have seen that my newest video is an office tour/quick look into my make-up storage.
As I was filming for this, I kind of had the idea to do a little room tour every so often, of each different room in my house, rather than a full on house tour video.
The current house I'm living in is rented, so we haven't yet put paint to wall and everything is still pretty simple. I am slowly building it up with character though, so it would be good to see how our rooms change.
The first room I decided to photograph was of course our bedroom. (It was the most tidiest at the time.)
Let me know if this is a post you guys would be interested in. I know I'm a nosy parker and absolutely love this kind of thing.
Just in case you did miss it, here's the office tour video!

Hey beauties,
I know it's getting late, I've had a bit of an odd day if I'm honest, but I still wanted to share this.
I really wanted to bring back a regular post I used to do way back when I started this blog. Each monday I will share the make-up look I have chosen to wear. Even on the Mondays I choose to wear nothing. It's kind of a weekly FOTD, except you'll know to always expect it on a Monday.
Today I didn't wear anything too heavy. I spent a lot of the day tidying the upstairs of my house and doing some filming. (Go check out my Youtube channel, I posted a new vid about an hour ago!) But, that being said, I really like this simple look.
I hope you all had a fabulous Monday.

Hi, my lovelies!
It seems I have taken to neglecting the bloggity in favour of the youtoobs this week. I filmed a total of five videos so far, I've already posted three, two of which you can find below, and two that I am saving for a rainy day. You will know about the other very shortly.
I'm totally feeling the buzz for it again and I really hope anyone reading this will take the time to pop over to my channel and maybe even subscribe? There's a ton of videos on there and if it all carries on like this, then there will plenty more to come.
I hope you enjoy what you see. Please don't forget to leave me any requests for tags videos etc. I'll do my best to do them all.
Love you all!

A few weeks ago, I received a tweet from The Body Shop asking if I would like to try out a couple of their veggie friendly products. At the time I wasn't eating meat and I felt it was an ideal time to try something new.
Their random act of kindness was part of #TBSGiveJoy, as something I hadn't heard of before, I did a little investigating and it seems The Body Shop will pick people to offer some goodies too. Another girl I spotted was offered some of their chocolate products to try.
After giving them my address, a few days later I signed for a package including the following products.
The carrot moisture cream is exactly that. The 50 ml tub is available to buy for £4, but is currently out of stock online.
This cream is amazing. I thought the scent would be a little odd, being carrot, but it smells really pleasant.
The cream itself is slightly more thick than the moisturiser I usually reach for, but that being said, it actually sinks into the skin a lot quicker.
Since using this, my skin hasn't at all felt dry. I tend to reach for this now, even when I don't really need it. It kind of feels like a treat when applying it.
I feel this tub is going to last a while, but as soon as it is all gone, I will most certainly be purchasing it.
The other product I received was the new watermelon lip gloss. Available to buy online for £7.00, here.
Apologises for the blurry photo.
This is a product I most definitely wouldn't have chosen for myself. In all honesty, I'm not a big lipgloss fan.
I tried this out and I'm in love with it. Something that always puts me off lipgloss is the stickiness, but this isn't sticky at all. It smells and tastes amazing, and gives amazing shine.
The tube gives you a good 12ml of product and is easy to apply.
The new range of lipglosses come in a huge variety of flavours. There's everything from strawberry and peach, to cocoa and lychee.
I love this product so much, that I am now dying to try out some of the others in the range.
Have you heard of #TBSGiveJoy before?

When I heard that Rimmel were bringing out a new range of Kate Moss lipsticks, I knew I had to have a couple. But, when I heard that the new range was entirely matte, I dashed to my nearest Boots right away.
Luckily for me there was a 3 for 2 offer on, so I ended up picking two of the new range and one shade from the older line. (I'll blog about that one soon.)
First, I picked up shade 101. Surprisingly enough, I don't actually have many soft pinks in my collection and this one caught my attention straight away.
I'd definitely describe this as a soft baby pink with blue undertones.
The second shade I picked up was 110, a really bold and daring orange red.
This colour is amazing, but something I wouldn't normally pick out in fear that it would hake my teeth look incredibly yellow. Which, you'll be pleased to know, it doesn't.
Both lipsticks are ridiculously long wearing. I actually wore shade 110 a lot whilst we were staying in Leeds and I found it even lasted throughout me eating a 3 course meal. It did need a teeny bit of touching up, but if I had left it back at the hotel, it wouldn't have been the end of the world.
I much prefer a matte lip for the A/W months, and an extra bonus to these lipsticks, is they don't dry out your lips at all. They're actually pretty moisturising.
For £5.49, you cannot go wrong with these lipsticks. I'm now constantly choosing these over any of my others in my pretty large stash. Hopefully I'll be able to get my mitts on the other three shades in the matte collection soon.
You can click here to head over to the Boots website.
Which shade do you like best?

Happy Monday, Lovelies!
Soooo, I haven't done one of these for 3 weeks!
Bad Sam!
After having an eventful weekend of wearing a full face of make-up, I thought I would give my skin a little rest and go lightly with it today.
I was over the moon to see the Murad Primer in the bottom of my goody bag from the #leedsbloggermeetup2012. I've tried a sample of the dewy finish primer and you can see the review for that here. This one applies very much the same, but I think I definitely prefer the matte finish.
Today seems to be turning into a rather lazy day. My insomnia is playing hell at the moment, so I think I'm going to spent the rest of the day relaxing, catching up on my blog reads and drinking tea.
Perfection.

Tutorial - Going For Gold

Hi my lovelies!
A couple of days ago I posted this tutorial on my youtube channel and I thought I would share it with you guys too!
I absolutely love this look and how it turned out, although I'm not one for bright yellow/gold eyes, I really think this works so, so well.
Below is the image I worked from and I think I got it as spot on as I could have done.
Image - Google
I'm sorry this is up super late, with all the Olympic ceremony fun last night and family visiting today, I had today forgotten that I was meant to get this post up.
Now I'm off to crawl into my pit with a huge food baby and a ridiculous headache.
Hope you guys are having a good weekend! I can't believe that this time next week it'll be August!
