Party Beauty Kit!

Hello Chickies!

I have a fair few beauty faves at the moment that over my birthday week (yes a week as I had soo much to do) I could not live without, celebrating my birthday meant night out went into overdrive, hot nightclubs, lot of dancing, and a lot less sleep than I am used to, equals dismal make up longevity, so these lovely little gems came in very handy. I think this little bunch of beauties have earned a mention here on The Prophecy Of Loveliness.

About three weeks ago my boyfriends mum and sister went to the big U S of A, stopping at Chicago and lots of other places. Whilst they were living it up and sight seeing in America, back home in drizzly old London town I celebrated my 21st birthday but they didn't forget me because as a present they brought me back a well sort after beauty product that is so extremely difficult to get here in the UK. I finally got my hands on the amazeballs Make Up Forever HD Foundation it arrived just in time for the final stretch of my birthday celebrations. Ever since I got it I have tried my hardest not to wear it everyday because I absolutely love it, it stays in my make up collection and only rears its head on the very special occasions. Honestly, I would be gutted if it run out. So on the occasions when I have worn this my make up takes on a new look, and that look is FLAWLESS!

The foundation feels so light and effortless that you would think it had no coverage at all but it does, in fact it is a good medium coverage with the ability to be built into full coverage without looking cakey or like I have smeared gravy all over my face. I think it must be the Micro-pigments and the HD Technology  that makes this foundation so unique, earning major make up brownie points with me.

Another product I have been loving is false eyelashes - I have used these before but only on very very special occasions because buying them at £5 a pop (I love the Cheryl Cole Eyelure Lashes) and usually loosing them after that very special occasions is just not something I am prepared to invest in. However I have found a cheaper alternative and in my opinion a slightly better alternative, I buy the £1 lashes from none other than Primark, I opt for the natural look lashes. I have started wearing falsies on a few more occasions like my thirsty Thursdays at my local bar or Friday night cocktails with the girls, I really like the way they make my eyes look a little less hooded and gives them that extra smokey boost, and at £1 a apir I don't mind buying them just to get me through this falsies phase that knowing me I will be over and done with shortly.

And yes that is a Harry Styles Sticker I am kissing.. Guilty Pleasure!

Spring 2013 Make-Up Trends!

Hey Chickies! 

As it is March Spring should be sprung, alas as I am sitting here typing this post at my desk and gaze out of the window expecting to see flowers, sunshine and blue skies, but that is not the case for this Monday evening, because I am look out onto snow flurries or should I say blizzard along with grey skies unfortunately. The odd weather conditions could be partnered with the oddly wonderful make up trends this spring 2013. 

I was browsing the wonderful Harpers Bazar website and discovered a page on the Spring Make-Up trends for 2013, I must say they are surprising but ever so interesting! 

Lets start with Lips, when I think of Spring lips I think of pale pinks, lilacs, and pale nudes you know all the colours of mini eggs, to be honest I am not a huge fan of the pale lips as I am very self aware of my teeth and pale colours are notorious for making our pearl whites not so white, but this spring there seems to be a spanner in the works, in the form of the Red Lip. The Spring Red Lip hit the make up scene with a bang, Burberry taking the bullet, having their models sporting a gorgeous scarlett red, then from there all other shades of beautiful red started appearing all over the catwalks. Oscar del a renta and Missoni using the pretty playful red/pink side of the red lip, then on the other hand we have the powerful classic mad men red all the way up to what I like to call the twilight red (dark vampy red). Proof of the true powder of a simple red lip all year round. Get those pouts out girlies!

Another trend hitting the Catwalks this spring is the demure eyeliner flick. The trend properly came about last year and ever since then it has become a make up must do. The devilishly defined look, has always been acosiated with dark dramatic looks that have previously been for the make-up daring however with making its appearance in such shows as the Chanel Spring 2013 collection it has now become fabulously on trend, I have been sporting this look recently, a huge jump from my usual look, I must admit a feel very much on trend, and fiercely fabulous. As I have said before I have never been a huge fan of winged liner until the other day, literally. I was browsing at a MAC store near work when one of the sales people came up to me and asked have I ever worn winged liner, and I replied saying how hooded my eyes are and how I can never do it right for my eye shape, then she pulled out a MAC 266 brush and showed me how to do the perfect liner for my eye shape and ever since then I have been sporting this look.

What do you think of the Spring 2013 trends? Will you be sporting any of these surprising looks?
