Extremely quick post to pass on the Debenhams Urban Decay NAKED2 Palette Link before it sells out.
UPDATE: Due to the link leak, Debenhams have released the link early.
Debenhams weren't due to post the link until midnight tonight, but someone must have either been very naughty, or made a little mistake, as the link is live!

Matte lipsticks have full-on colour and a give a unique finish, what's not to love?

or flaws on lips, not only that, but they can also be very drying on your lips.

You may remember from my Elf order that I was really excited to repurchase Elf Lipstick in Classy.
I'd had my old Classy for a while now, it had broke in the middle, and if I'm honest, it was looking a bit scabby.
So when Elf offered their Mystery Box Promotion, I decided to fork out the grand sum of £1.50 and replace my ole favourite, Classy.
Classy is the most perfect Maxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05563434331496304812noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6929324532186627021.post-30854772927351066882011-11-16T04:24:00.001+00:002011-11-16T04:53:04.178+00:00NOTD: Easy Tiger!
Couldn't resist a pun.
These nails were inspired by the extremely talented Emily and her Tiger Nails.
I love these nails, as they require very little effort or skill but have a huge wow factor. They're not exactly the most wintery nails, but they'd brighten up a drab outfit, and they even got the Boyfriend seal of approval!
You will need:
- Orange Nail Polish
- Yellow Nail Polish

Two different poses in two days - I really am spoiling you!
As part of my shake-up my make-up challenge, after I gave you retro look overload (see here, here and here), I decided to go back to Beauty School Basic's with a soft smokey eye.

I promised you I would shake up my FOTD's, and what better way than to step right out of my comfort zone?
Although not necessarily a risky look, I wouldn't normally wear my make-up like this.
I wanted a different twist on the lips, to brighten up the nude eye, so I slicked on L'oreal Crazy Fuschia, and then lightly dabbed MUA Eyeshadow in Shade 30 over the top.
