February FOTD

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

Those of you who watch my videos may well have noticed that I have been sporting the same sort of look of late. I have found a look that I find quick, easy and suitable for day/night/the lot.

On Saturday morning, before leaving for the IMATS, I snapped a few quick shots. I never know quite how to pose for facey shots, I know there is a certain blog style but having tried them, I look like a total goon, so I just tried to show you the products like a noooormal person.

Face

Moisturiser- I'm currently trying out a few, reviews to come.

MAC Select Moisturecover Concealer, NW15.

Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint Foundation, 02 Beige.

MAC MSF, Soft and Gentle.

2True Face and Body Bronzer.

Lips

Boots own brand Strawberry Lip Balm.

Topshop Lipstick, Brighten Rock.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss, Pink Pop.

Eyes

HD Brow Kit, Vamp.

Illamasqua Pure Pigment, Beguile.

Topshop Eyeliner, Coal. (Smudged with a pencil brush)

L'Oreal False Lash Telescopic Mascara (loving this at the moment, review to come).

Hmmm, reading that back it sounds like an awful lot of items but in the mornings, it doesn't feel like it. I can do this entire look in about 10 minutes. If I want to make it a bit more 'night time', I would use more eyeliner and spend longer on my lashes and also use a lipliner to do better lips, but seeing as this was at 7.30am, I was pleased.

Do you have a look that you find yourself going back to again and again?

Toodlepip!

London IMATS 2012

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

As you will know, unless you live under a rock, this weekend was the annual London International Makeup Artist Tradeshow (IMATS) and just like last year, I went, I saw, I shopped!

This year was a million squillion times better than last, for a variety of reasons. One, I wasn't 8 months pregnant and waddling about like a beached whale and two, I mooched about with some spiffing gals and meet tonnes of Sprinklerinos!!

I didn't actually take my big camera because I wanted to just relax and not worry too much, but I did take my camcorder and filmed bippits and boppits. All the videos (there are three) are on my YouTube Channel so you might have seen them, but for those of you who are strictly Blog folk, enjoy:

I appreciate this is a bit of a naughty post because it's all video content, but fear not, I had a bit of a product photoshoot yesterday so I have plenty to blog about in the upcoming days!

Any requests?

Toodlepip!

I heart Glitterworld

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

I have just spent over an hour writing a post and uploading a zillion pictures of a a few bits I picked up last week but as I was writing it, I was finding it more and more laborious. I promised myself when I started this blog that I would only ever write for the joy of it, and so that post was quickly sent to drafts and I decided to talk about something much more fun.

This week has been another good one and I couldn't be more grateful- mostly to you fabulous Sprinklerinos!

♥ My lovely chum Zoe came to stay. We laughed our socks off, mooched round cute shops in a local village, ate our weight in pizza hut and put the world to rights. Once she was home, she wrote a really unexpected and beautiful post and I felt really rather emotional. I shan't go on because I don't want to sound like Mrs Feelings, but it really did mean a lot.

♥ Baby Glitter has been an absolute joy this week. She's always my little treasure, but this week she seems to have been more brilliant than usual. My friend Charly and I had some retail therapy today and Baby Glitter was sooo well behaved. She cooed and giggled and clapped like a pro. OOhhhhh I could just squish her to bits...but I won't...that would be frowned upon somewhat.

♥ Whilst shopping today I picked up 2 more Topshop lipsticks- yay! More on those to come.

♥ It's the IMATS tomorrow!! I cannae wait!! Matt is dropping me off and collecting me so I'll enjoy chitchatting to him in the car and then he and Baby Glitter will be spending the day together with a friend in London. I absolutely loved the IMATS last year and this year will be even better because I won't be 8 months pregnant and waddling- hooray. If you see me, come over and say, 'Howdy Doody' please :)

♥ Best, best, best thing about this week- I won 'Highly Commended' in the Marie Claire Beauty Blog of the Year Awards. I literally could not believe it. Really, I couldn't. It has just been a huge boost to me to know that so many of you voted and makes me love GlitterWorld a trillion times more that I already did, which was A LOT! I could gabble on and on about how grateful I am but you're eyes would get very tired indeed. Just, thank you. I heart you. Yes, you.

What good things have happened for you this week?

Toodlepip!
