Sugar Pill Cosmetics Burning Heart Palette Review

 

Todays review is on Sugar Pills "Burning Heart" palette, I've been meaning to do this review for such a long time as its one of my favourite products in my kit. Its one of those makeup products that when am travelling is all I need in terms of eye colour and it suits summer brights.

 

Like the previous palette reviewed on here, the pigmentation is fantastic and the packaging is so cute!

 

In the palette you get Flame point which an intense orange, Butter cupcake which is such a vibrant yellow, Love+ which is the red and Poison Plum which is a bright purple. All excellent colours for the summer.

 

 

 

As you can see in the photograph above and below, the pigmentation of the colours are amazing. Its so bright and eye catching, I love it. And you can either create a nice sunset style eye makeup look or use the purples against the yellow for examples to create a more contrasting look, (photos of this are such to follow as its one of my favourite quick and easy eye catching styles) 

The product is extreme reasonable in cost for what you are getting. People from the Uk can buy this product via http://www.love-makeup.co.uk at the brilliant price of £24.99 or for World Wide shipping via the Sugar Pill home site  http://www.sugarpillshop.com for a mere $34.
Its totally worth the price as their are so many different looks you can achieve using this product, I even use it for my red eyebrows and I have used it in the past for extreme contouring of the face....works amazingly!

Above is a makeup look created using Poisen Plum and Love+, as you can see it works really well....Love+ also used on my eyebrows!

 

This is one of my more summer looks, using Butter Cupcake, Love+ and Flame Point. I love this look, especially during summer days.

 

So what are you guys waiting for, get out their and get creative with your eye shadows and don't be afraid to be bright!

Photographs from the Manchester Vintage Fair in May

About a month ago I took part in another of the wonder Manchester Vintage's vintage fairs in Ramsbottom, this one was part of a whole weekend devoted to all things vintage. I offered hairstyles, makeup and nail art/manicures and was working along side the fabulously talented Jenny Martin Photography who took a few snaps of my work (Check out more of here: https://www.facebook.com/JennyMartinPhotographyUK )

I had a brilliant time and met lots of lovely people, here are some of the shots Jenny took of my work;

 

I absolutely love this shot, I think its so beautiful.

 

I love doing the vintage fairs and I can't wait to work with Jenny again. Fun all round!

FaceLace by Phyllis Cohen Product Review

In this entry am going to be doing a quick review of one of the products I bought from IMATS which is Phyllis Cohen's FaceLace which I have been interested in for ages and after being booked to do a makeup for a mask ball immediately thought of this product.
The reason why I was so interested in this product was because of the interact designs that are on offer, there are several different styles to choose from. There are full masks, half masks, swirly styles, modern styles as well as designs that can be placed down the side of the face. They all look fantastic and quick and easy way to create detail to your makeup.

I bought two different "eye masks", Burlesque and Fleurty.

 

My client didn't want to wear a traditional mask to her mask ball due to the fact that mask commonly hurt your nose when you wear then for a long amount of time therefore Facelace was just the thing to avoid this problem.

 

After applying all her makeup and eye details, I started on applying the Facelace, Fleurty was the design picked. To be honest it was a little fiddly to remove from the backing paper but as long as you have tweezers on stand by and you don't rush...remember people the greatest things are create out of patience! It didn't take long to apply, the good thing was that if it was in wrong position you could gently lift it off and replace...I image you couldn't do this too many times however.

 

The result after applying was amazing, it added such class and style to the makeup and my client was over the moon with the results created. I did add some bling bling to the mask using small gems to match the jewellery she was wearing but honestly you could get away with not having them.

So the finished result...I think she looks absolutely beautiful. 

 

 

 

My honest opinion of this product is it is absolutely amazing. The lace lasted all night with no edges lifting and she didn't have any problems taking it off. It didn't leave any irritating residue and you can put it back on the backing paper for you to use another day.
 I am definitely going to be buying more in the future. Knowing me I'll end up with one of each style because I can't decide which ones I like more. I would recommend this product to everyone, makeup artists, makeup lovers or just anyone who wants to be centre attention at a party...I can guarantee that you will be!
