Lime Crime review and upcoming vintage fair.

Busy week as usual.
I have been organising my media make-up level 2 and 3 students in their body art and face art competitions and oh my goodness was it stressful. Models not turning up, students getting all flustered and saying they can't do it, usual things really. But they all did so so well, I had to quickly rush out at the end due to a doctors appointment so I missed the winners of the body art but big well done and fab job to Alex, Peggie and Julia who did amazingly and received prizes....next stop Blackpool AHT competition for them!! I find out the winners of the body art tomorrow!

And now my review on the fabulous Lime Crime, eyeshadow helper. Now I was first introduced to this product by a fellow rockabilly enthusiastic make-up artist and I thought I would give it a go, my only problem was choosing which site to buy it from...I settled on Cosmetic Cocktail.co.uk as I also purchased a few other  bits and pieces (OOC airbrush foundations, review to come soon, my Level 3 students have their first airbrush lesson with me tomorrow so photos and reactions will be included!)

Its not priced too expensive and when it arrive it came in the cutest packaging.
The great thing about this product is a little does go a long way and the texture and thickness isn't too much that you feel like your eyes are weighted down. It glides on easily and I found the best way to apply is using your ring finger rather than a brush ,then the product gets a chance to warm up.
Its smooth finish and once you apply the eyeshadow over the top it enhances the pigmentation and just gives a really nice even base.  The lasting power of this little wonder is amazing, it will last you a full day with absolutely no creasing or smudging. With my days teaching or doing my freelance work am constantly running about trying to sorting things out and even a full day of that doesn't affect my eyeshadow where as before I could bet that usually by mid-afternoon there would be some creasing. Its waterproof, sweat proof and works wonders on even oily lids. I would recommend this product to everyone, its the best eyeshadow primer that I have used and am pretty sure that my next wage is going on the Lime Crime eye shadows as am sure those will be just as good a product as this one.

Even works wonders for gluing my shiny shiny bling bling eye shadows!!


So my next news of the week is my up coming appearance at the lovely Victoria Claire's Vintage and retro craft fair with my pop up retro and vintage salon. Just like at Betty & Co vintage fair, I will be offering nail, hair and make-up treatments so come along, its going to a fab day. I have added a few more hairstyles to my booklet, sneak peak here.....

Rockabilly Gypsy Rose Lee.

Betty and Co Vintage Fair

It has been such a long time since I've last updated my blog and that's mainly because am working almost none stop which is a nice feeling!
So where to start I suppose I should start at my first vintage fair doing hair and make-up at the lovely Betty & Co. It was amazing! I had such a good time and talked to a lot of lovely people and the fabulously rockabilly organise Leanne who is a shining star for giving me this opportunity!

It was such a good experience for me and now am booked for another vintage fair in Wigan with Vibrant Vintage as well as Betty & Co's Christmas vintage fair so its all taking off and going well!

I also made some rockabilly hair scarves and bandannas which seem to fit nicely with what I was doing.

Me and my lovely sister, Frances who was a bit help to me on the day being my paparazzi and resident cake maker! Also big thanks to Charlene even though she almost bought almost everything at the fair!!! And the biggest thanks ever to my lovely partner Karlos for putting up with my stresses, driving to the event and talking to clients when I was working.

So new dates and hopefully some leaflets to follow about 18th Nov Haigh Hall Vintage and Retro Craft Fair as well as Betty & Co's Christmas Fair 15th Dec at the Moor Suite, Heaton Moor.

So in my next blog I shall be putting a review up of lime crime eye shadow primer and also a lovely item I bought from Betty & Co!
