Monday Amusements 13

I had another fortnight of being obsessed with cosmetics! This IMATS recap at Do Not Refreeze is total eye candy. Colour and sparkle abounds.

Stay Beautiful features ‘How To: Create an Eye Look With One Eyeshadow‘. I used to do something very similar almost every day for years.

I’m drooling over these Kiko eyeshadows, featured at The London Beauty Review.< ‘A Guide to Buying Indie Cosmetics’ – essential reading for anyone who is feeling like dipping a tentative toe in the lovely, highly pigmented waters of indie make-up.

Lisa Eldridge features a heat-proof make-up tutorial, with some really helpful advice for everyone sweltering in the UK at the moment!

Yay! Sandal weather!

When it comes to lipstick, I only suit two colours. I don’t really mind though, as they’re the best two – bright pink and bright red. I prefer red in the winter, but now it’s summer and I’m all about the pink, so I loved Lipglossiping‘s Five head-turning pinks to get your lips looked at!

This look by Zoffe has me itching to wear more blue and green. Am I the only one that loves to match their make-up to their outfit? My clothes are often dictated by my nail varnish – I won’t wear something that clashes with my nails!

I also really liked Katie’s silver and black liner look. I’ve got a discontinued Bourjois liquid eyeshadow that looks similar to the Rimmel one featured, so I’m planning to try it with that.

I loved these Gay Pride Rainbow Nail Designs at Do Not Refreeze – and there’s an fantastic giveaway at the bottom of the post. For another amazing giveaway, check out another of my favourite blogs, Daisies and Dr Martens.

I’m going to a festival in a couple of weeks and have started planning what I’m going to be taking in my make-up bag. It was great to see another blogger’s choices at Cut-Throat Beauty and I will definitely be posting about the items I decide to take!

Anushka Tay’s review of Honest Burgers in Brixton made me feel really hungry. I’ve been meaning to go there for about a year but every time I’m in Brixton long enough to get dinner they’re closed!

Hope you’re having a good Monday! I’m off to listen to comedy cricket music. I know almost nothing about cricket, but I still manage to find it endlessly hilarious.
