EOTD: the Lolita Por Vida eyeshadow palette, by Kat Von D Beauty.

Today I'm doing another "making the most out of the fact that my new-favourite eyeshadow palette is still for sale by sharing an EOTD look" post for the Lolita Por Vida palette. My last post with this palette showed a lighter look that's appropriate for more conservative settings, so I wanted to feature the palette in a post when I was feeling more experimental with my look, rather than repeat the same style with different shades. 

I'd been watching YouTube through my TV whilst doing my makeup and BeautBean did another one of her 'reverse smoky eye looks' and made it look so easy to do, that I wiped off my spotlight eye and immediately tried to recreate the technique she had just used...

Sweet dreams or a (not so) beautiful Nightmare? [Reviewing Urban Dream Cover foundation, by Maybelline]

The big draw for me with this foundation is that here in the UK Dream Urban Cover is sold as being a lightweight full-coverage product specified for dry skin, so I was excited since all of the big foundation and concealer releases for the past few years have been suitable for every skin-type except those of us with dry skin. 

So will this foundation last though festive work stress, shopping for 'the perfect gift' for family & friends, and parties & other events?

EOTD: the Lolita Por Vida eyeshadow palette, by Kat Von D Beauty.

This is a simple 'everyday' look with my new-favourite eyeshadow palette. I use my KvD eyeshadows regularly, but very rarely share look ideas as the palettes are now-unavailable limited edition ones, so I'm making the most out of the time that Lolita Por Vida is still for sale by sharing.

True; there's nothing that's exciting/intricate about today's look, but I want to show how easily this palette fits in with your 'regular day to day' situations,  eg work, visiting relatives, attending church or other more formal events,  when you want to be polished,  but don't feel comfortable with something more bold/louder. 

Playing around again [reviewing Toy 2 edp, by Moschino]...

I bought the first Toy fragrance purely for the sake of owning the bottle and ended up really enjoying the actual fragrance too.

So Toy 2 had a lot to live up to when it was released earlier this year, other than just having a cute bottle. So after six months of wearing it in different seasons/weather conditions, it's time to find out if I think Toy 2 is worth placing underneath the Christmas trees of loved ones, or if you may just want to skip pass this fragrance...

EOTD: the Haunted House eyeshadow palette, by Revolution.

For my final EOTD post this month (I don't wear makeup more often than I do) we're revisiting the only Halloween 2019 eyeshadow palette that I picked up - the Haunted House palette. 

This look is great for those of us who want to join in with the festivities, but need something that is toned-down enough to wear out without a costume & in the general public during the day and/or work...
