First blog of December, happy holidays everyone! As usual I am nowhere near prepared for Christmas. I just about bought Lily an advent calender on time, that's how unprepared I am and I would of totally forgotten if they hadn't been on offer near the till.I haven't done a FOTD post for a while but feeling inspired by some new products I've purchased recently I thought I'd throw one together with a product rave. Please excuse the awful roots in the pics, I am having them done next week.
I had no plans today apart from cleaning up the house and nipping to the post office so I kept it simple.
What I used on the face:
- Nars Sheer Matte foundation
- Givenchy Sari Glow blusher
- Bobbi Brown bronzer
On my eyes I used one of my new NYX Runway palettes which I just love, they are really compact, great quality and have some beautiful colours.I've wanted some of these for a while but kept forgetting to order then when Laura (Lollipop26) mentioned hers recently I placed an order. They are such great quality for the money, I purchased these for $12 for any two from an EBay seller here.
They came within 10 days and I love them, well worth around£12 including shipping.
On the left is 04 Catwalk and on the right is 03 Champagne and Caviar.I've always loved NYX eyeshadows, I have some trios and think they are fantastic quality for the money, these palettes are just as good. The formulation is lovely, so soft to touch and most are have great colour payoff.
Champagne and Caviar swatch
A really gorgeous set of neutral colours with a few darker shades to create a great smokey eye which I hope to create this weekend.Today I kept it simple using the pale pink in between the darkest shades all over the lid then the reddy brown from the top row ( far right) in the crease.
Sorry, it is brighter in real life but my camera didn't pick it up very well.Along my upper eyelid I used my favourite YSL eyeliner Moire in number 6 with Revlon's new Double Twist mascara. Underneath I simply took the crease colour and smudged it along the bottom of my eye to connect both halves.

There are so many different possibilities to creating an amazing combo with these little palettes and I can't wait to find some more.Does anyone else have a Runway palette, which others are good?I want more...

-Peachy
so gorge....and that revlon mascara really seems to love you lol unfortunately not me so much :) beautiful!
That YSL eyeliner is gorgeous!
Ohhh, think I'm going to order some of these. I just don't know which are the best.. Some have said certain ones are hard/no pigment, and others are fabulous. I think the two you have are some good ones. Lollipop26,thecurrentcustom (Lorraine), and you have me interested. I won't order from Cherry Culture though. The Nonpareil Boutique ships much faster.
