Illamasqua 'The Sacred Hour'

Happy Friday dolls, 
Last week I went to the launch of Illamasqua new collection called 'The Sacred Hour' exclusively at Selfridges.  This event last for 2 hours where we were given some yummy drinks, the chances to meet Alex Box - Illamasqua Creative Director where she told us the story behind their new collection, David Horne - Director of Product Development where he talked about their new Skin Based Lift Concealer and the chances to explore and tested their new products. 
So, what did I get from my redeemable £30, fufufu

From Top Clockwise:
  1. Reflection Palette 
  2. The Shard Lipstick
  3. Skin Based Lift Concealer No. 2
To be honest, this is by so far my most favourite collection from Illamasqua not because the other collections weren't great.  However, the theme behind this collection has the most impact towards my own personal life and how sometimes one can forget their own identity and the spiritual side of life due to the modern living and the influence of outsiders.  This collection is to tell us to embrace ourselves and to love ourselves for all we have been through and the imperfection that comes with it, because we are perfect as who we are.  
I completely fallen in love with this new collection especially their eyeshadow palette and the lipstick which was inspired by London current tallest building 'Shard' - a gorgeous red wine colour that suits any skin tone. 
The Look I created using the three items from above.
Eyes:  Mixture of Acute and Graphica on the eyelid and Precipice on the inner corner as a highlighter
Lips:  The Shard 
The texture of their new palette are pretty spongey and you can apply them only using your fingers from light to intense look and they are water resistant.  The lipstick never stop amazed me and this colour will definitely be in my make up staple (I even received loads of compliment for it ;)

 Hope you enjoy it and have a lovely weekend xoxo

October Purchased

Image
Can't believe that it's November already, Xmas is just around the corner and 2012 is nearly over.  So far October has been a fun and relaxing month for myself and I just want to share what I have bought and my current must have in my make up bag ^^  I have been wanting to try out Too Faced products and have been hearing the rave about it.  Don't get me wrong, I love my MAC, Coastal Scents and Bobbi Brown eyeshadows.  However, I felt that Too Faced Eye Palette is convenient if I am travelling or just going for a night out without having to bring so many different colours in one bag which is quite annoying sometimes.  So, my plan was only to buy one to try out but I ended up buying the whole range except the romantic look (arrghhh annoyed with myself sometimes).  I bought all palettes from Boots Piccadilly Circus apart from the Natural at Night range as it's sold out everywhere.  You can get them from Beautybay , beauty and hair website where you can get mostly every

One outfit + 3 different style of shoes

Day off and sun shines are something I couldn't asked for more.  I started off my day with a great workout at the gym, before heading out to meet up with a friend.  I decided to wear my new top that I bought from ZARA which is currently on sale.  I have never been a big fan of 'knitwear' because I always feel that knit material can look unflattering on me.  However, I decided to give it another try and to be very honest I am actually loving it.  The cut is flattering and I want to look very casual on my day off, therefore I mixed it with a pair of Jeans, flats and a hat that I received from my friend, Kate Michell.  I also decided to plait my hair because it was too hot and humid. Due to the unpredictable weather in London, I never forget to bring a cardigan just in case if it gets cold all of a sudden.  I love this outfit because I think it is very versatile as you can wear it from day to evening without looking too casual or too formal.  In addition, this outfit is
