Glitter alive glinting
Stars shimmering 
Making perfume containers

Hearts shining 
Butterflies flying

I hope to show off the rest of my collection in this manner as I prepare a Perfume page for fragrance reviews.  This will take time but it is going to happen!

I Got Mail

This week I have been really ill with a cold, and the puffiness and dry skin around the nose is still hanging around but today I felt better; not much but at least I could do things.

Lunchtime came and went and an hours ironing later I still did not feel good in myself and I had to have a bath as we were expecting visitors.

Anyway, the postman knocked on the door and I turned around and my mum stood there holding a brown box and thought: What has she ordered now?

Then she passed me the box and I was even more mystified as I was not aware I had ordered anything that warranted a laptop size box.

Then my eyes fell upon the post label and on it was written the words: BH Cosmetics - suddenly it all made sense ...


At the start of this month I had won a you tube competition to gain a set of these brushes and I had not heard anything since.



Until today I opened the lovely real leather bag and felt the softness of the brushes.  I loved the feel and weight of the handles which I shall have to label their function as there are two I am not quite clear on.

Ironically, my other item of mail was a lovely BOOTS emblazoned envelope which contained more vouchers to spend before January 4th.

I think I may be able to see my way to that ...

... somehow!

Happy Chat


So, here is what I did this afternoon... ebay here I come!

Welcome to MAC Cosmetics Online. Your personal Makeup Artist will be with you shortly.

Hello. Thank you for your interest in MAC Cosmetics. My name is Lavinia. How may I assist you?

Lavinia: Hi Lizzie how may I help you?

Lavinia: Are you there Lizzie?

Lizzie: Hello Lavinia I had a conversation cut off with Fabienne, who gave me great contouring and eyeshadow tips but I had internet outtage when I asked about lipstick... We came to the conclusion for contouring with NW25 and for my hooded eyes to use Haux and Folie eyeshadows, do you have advice about lipstick and any other products and colours to suggest?

Lavinia: Would you like me to transfer you back to Fabienne? Or would you like me to help you?

Lizzie: I would like to hear your suggestions x

Lavinia: Sure!

Lavinia: what kind of lipstick are you looking for shade/texture wise?

Lizzie: I would like a moisterising lipstick that has a bit of drama and is longwearing.

Lavinia: Sounds great!can you desrcies what drama is to you? For me it's quite bright impactful

Lavinia: Describe*

Lizzie: Passion, forbidden love, temptation, desire ... Victoriana Gothic like Dracula ...

Lavinia: I mean colour wise

Lavinia: So dark ?

Lavinia: Like dark reds and purples for example?

Lizzie: Purples, reds ...

Lavinia: Great!

Lavinia: I'd have a looked at CYBER

Lavinia: This is your classic gothic deep vampy purple

Lavinia: For a dark red try MEDIA currant berry shade.

Lavinia: What are your thoughts?

Lizzie: Cyber is the colour I have been looking for ALL my life!

Lavinia: It's absolutely stunning!

Lizzie: Beautiful and marries to the eyeshadow shades as well.

Lavinia: You're so right. Really gorgeous colours all together! I especially love these colours for autumn/winter.

Lavinia: So chic and fashion forward.

Lizzie: Any other eyeshadows, products? I have roseacea, do you have anything to suggest there?

Lavinia: I love the eye shadows Sketch and Shadowy Lady for crease colours that are more smokey. These Burgundy purples really bring out green eyes!

Lavinia: For roseacea I love the PREP AND PRIME BB compact SPF35.

Lavinia: Click here!

Lavinia: It covers so well for a BB cream but you can also wear it as a primer underneath your regular foundation/concealer.

Lizzie: What is your absolute must have brush/blush/highlight?

Lavinia: What did you think about the eye shadow colours I suggested or the BB cream Lizzie?

Lizzie: What shade Bb cream, looks smooth, looking up the eyeshadows now.

Lavinia: Lovely!

Lizzie: I have only heard of MAC in the last few months but am considering saving up for products now

Lavinia: Great!

Lavinia: Can you describe your skin tone?

Lavinia: Or think of a celebrity with a similar skin tone?
