Hi everyone!</h4>
<br />
First of all I want to say sorry for the lack of posting this week, I now work in a bar a couple of nights a week and it totally threw my blogging rota out this week. But anyway I am back! basically I have been shopping and here is the very exciting result!<br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>Some really exciting news for you all!!</u></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
To all of my lovely readers and Benefit fans, Benefit released a very exciting new product yesterday and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it, and today it made its way into my bag. It is called "Fine One One" and is a highlighter, blush and contour all in one!! this is the first product I have seen like this which was the reason I was so desperate to get my hands on it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

At the moment they only have one colour which the mix of pink champagne, sheer watermelon and soft coral, I spoke to several girls who work on separate benefit counters who have been testing this product on lots of ladies over the last few days, and they are yet to find someone it doesn't look lovely on. I did ask the girls if they knew if other colours would be bought out soon, at the moment they aren't sure, but I really hope they do!</div>

<u>The Test</u></h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The lady at the first benefit counter tested it on me and it has a lovely texture, very creamy and feels very light on the skin. With it being in the form of a stick, I was very worried about it feeling heavy and oily, but trust me its the complete opposite. after putting it on she lightly blended it in with her fingers, it blends really easily onto the skin and looks very natural. I brightens up your face and give you that wide awake look. For me this is a great product as I spend a lot of time using separate blushers, highlighters and contouring powders so this should cut the time it takes to do my day to day makeup down by rather a lot. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is a quick swatch so you can see how subtle it is, but don't let the subtlety put you off as its very easy to build up if you prefer a slightly more obvious look.</div>

Anyway that is all for today, I have a few lovely products on their way to me in the post as we speak so I may be a bit review heavy for a while, I will get back to doing looks soon I promise! Have any of you had the chance to try "Fine One One"? What did you all think of it?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have a lovely rest of your evening and I will talk to you all soon!</div>

<br />
I hope you all had a really lovely weekend, and for those of you who got the snow I hope you all made the most of it! Snow is possibly one of my favourite things, it just makes me feel so calm, a bit like rain does, but lots better, which means I have had a lovely and much needed relaxed weekend. I also managed to get myself a bar job over the weekend in order to pay for my holiday this year, I will tell you all more about this closer to the time.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<u>A Little Bit of News</u></h4>
Before I get into my post, a little bit of news, it was IMATS in LA this weekend, and this was where sugarpill released their new pallet "Cold Chemistry" hopefully it will be available to the public soon, and as soon as it is I will be purchasing it to do a review so keep an eye out! <br />
<br />
Limecrime also released their upgraded eye primer and a product called "glitter helper" these are another 2 products I will be purchasing as soon as they are available to the public to review, I have heard fantastic things about their previous eye primer so I am really looking forward to testing this one.<br />
<h4>
</h4>
<h4>
<u>The Look</u></h4>
Anyway, back onto the subject of this post, it is the 3rd instalment of my bi-weekly make up tag with the lovely <a href="http://goodmorningangel.blogspot.co.uk/">Elle</a> and <a href="http://theghostofdragonspast.blogspot.co.uk/">Bekki</a>, pop over to their pages and take a look at what they have come up with if you get a second, they are both incredibly talented ladies. <br />
<br />
We have decided to do a Hunger Games people of the capitol inspired look, I have been very excited about this one as I am a tad obsessed with the books and the first film, I cant wait until the next film comes out later on this year! <br />
<br />
Well here are the looks I hope you enjoy.<br />

<h2>
Sugarpill.</h2>
<br />
Hi everyone, I have finally managed to get round to putting this post together, I have been wanting to do this one for ages, as Sugarpill are such and incredible brand and I think that everyone should know about them! <br />
<br />
Sugarpill are an American brand, most of their makeup is Vegan and all of it is incredibly highly pigmented and colourful. I was introduced to Sugarpill some time around July, and from the first time I went on the website I was hooked, all I knew was I wanted all of it, and I wanted it all now.... I am still working on getting there... but I think I'm doing pretty well. I bought my first 2 products (Tiara and Stella) from Cyberdog in Brighton, this only made my need for more worse and a few short months later America had an amazing day called black Friday. Black Friday also happened to be the same day that I got paid, sooo I clicked on all three palettes and proceeded to the checkout, before I gave myself time to think about all the other things I actually needed to buy this month. Possibly not the smartest choice I have ever made, but I have no regrets at all! <br />
<br />
I will now show you a few pictures of swatches and the products, please bear in mind that these are rather well loved and used products, so they don't exactly look brand new, but still they should give you all a good idea of the colours, and hopefully explain my slight addiction.<br />
<br />
All of the swatches are done over an Illamasqua cream base, I will definately recomend using a primer with these as it enhances the colour brilliantly. <br />

<br />
I hope you all had a lovely week. Today I am going to share with you my 2013 beauty resolutions, I know its a bit late but I'm normally so terrible at new years resolutions that I don't really make them, however in the last few weeks I made a few decisions about changes I will be making to my beauty routine, that I guess they would count as new year resolutions. Anyway here they are I hope you enjoy.<br />
<br />
<h3>
The List!</h3>
1) No more face wipes or soap!- OK bear with me on this one, I have decided to start with oil cleansing instead. I actually started this a few weeks ago, basically my skin has never felt better, I hardly ever need to moisturise any more and the condition of my skin is probably the best its been since I was about 10. <br />
<br />
2) Find the perfect eyeliner brush- This sounds so simple, but I just cant find the right one for me I have now tried about 6, if anyone has any recommendations please let me know!<br />
<br />
3) Drink more water- Its the best way to good skin and so easy so I have no idea why I struggle with drinking water, but this WILL change.<br />
<br />
4) Spend more time on my nails- My more nails have become rather neglected in recent weeks and as 2013 is going to be huge for nail varnish (check out MUA's new nail effects, fluffy nails and nail constellations, I am in love with them both) its about time I started taking a tad more care with them. <br />
<br />
5) Spend more time on this blog- I love writing on here and I want to do more, so hopefully there will be posts more regularly on here.<br />
<br />
6) Go to IMATS London- Words can't describe how excited about IMATS I am, its a make up show that is hosted in various places across the world at different times throughout the year, and for the first time I will be going! <br />
<br />
Anyway that is it for today, sorry for the short post, this week has been so busy for me but all will be back to normal next time. I hope you all have a lovely week and I will speak to you all soon.<br />

Hi Everyone,</h2>
I hope you are all having a good week! A few weeks ago I mentioned that me and couple of friends <a href="http://theghostofdragonspast.blogspot.co.uk/">Bekki </a>and <a href="http://goodmorningangel.blogspot.co.uk/">Elle</a> were doing a bi- weekly makeup look, (please click the links on their names to check out their blogs and see what they came up with for this). Well it has now been 2 weeks, and the look we are all doing today is a Fire and Ice look. Originally I thought this would be so easy, and I was soooo wrong! I really struggled to come up with a look I was happy with, eventually I just sat in front of my bedroom mirror for hours until I found a look that worked for me. <br />
<br />
I also used Snazaroo for the first time (the face paint company) for this look, it was really fun trying out a completely new product. I had been avoiding using their stuff as I don't want to create looks that are too face painty, however I really wanted to experiment with whiting out my face to see if it makes much of a difference to the brightness of the colours that I use. Well it does, it made a huge difference to the colour quality and vibrancy which I was really happy with. It was also slightly tacky so eyeshadow sticks to its that it doesn't budge, and at £4.99 a pot it is certainly a product I will buy again. <br />
<div style="border: currentColor;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
Another thing I tried with this look was face gems, I have seen lots of make up artists using them recently and I thought they could have the potential to really add to this look, personally I think they did, I looked into getting some of the ones that are available in boots now, but its such a long month I'm a tad skint so I thought I would look elsewhere and found sheets of 100 small gems in hobby craft on sale for £1, so if this is something you were thinking of trying I would head down there and see what they have available.<br />

Hi everyone! </h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
Welcome to 2013, and welcome back to my blog! So as promised, today I will be showing you a few looks that I have created inspired by some of the rather beautiful birds that can be found in the UK, I enjoyed doing this so much that I am considering doing a more tropical version of this theme later on. I decided that today I am going to show you a Kingfisher, spotted woodpecker and a blue tit for look. with these I just kind of want to show that inspiration for some really striking looks can be found just about anywhere. I also did my first ever face charts to go with these looks, I did these for 2 reasons, 1) I have desperately wanted to try them for ages and just hadn't got around to it. 2) I am currently recovering from a stinking cold, therefore my nose currently looks like Rudolf's, so I was putting off testing the makeup on my face for as long as possible! Anyway, here are the looks, let me know what you think :-)<br />
<br />

Hi Everyone, </h3>
<br />
Welcome back, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and are looking forward to all of the new years celebrations tonight! <br />
<br />
This weeks post originally started as a collection of brands that I have discovered in the last year, however, there are so many brands that I love right now, so I have decided to split this into several posts over the next few days/ weeks. So the first brand I'm going to show you is Sleek, I hope you enjoy. <br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
I discovered Sleek a few months ago through the recommendations of my friends <a href="http://goodmorningangel.blogspot.co.uk/">Elle</a> and <a href="http://theghostofdragonspast.blogspot.co.uk/">Bekki</a> (they actually recommended all of the brands I will be showing you in the next few weeks, to be completely honest with you) Sleek is a great brand that is available from Superdrug at really affordable prices, they sell some really unique colours and products that so far I haven't seen in any other shop bought brands, however if any of you have seen similar products to these elsewhere please let me know as I would really like to try them.</div>

Sleek's Pout Paints are unlike any other lip colour product I have seen before, they are made to be mixed and not used as they come, which I think is great as it opens up a whole world of lip colour creations. You have to use them with a brush as they don't have an applicator nozzle on them, you will also need to find something to mix them on, I used an old plastic box lid, I recommend using something white so that you have a really good idea of what colour you have mixed. They are very highly pigmented so you hardly need to use any of the product at all. I have done several different colour mixes and the products blend really easily together, they also last well, and fade nicely. </div>

I have 4 of their eye shadow pallets and I love all of them, they are highly pigmented and last for ages when used over an eye shadow primer, I used Illamasqua's cream base under the swatches here. All of these are available from Superdrug for £7.99. My favourite pallet at the moment is Sparkle 2, I really love that although they are glittery, its not too much. I really love the turquoise and the red in the top row of this pallet, and I am currently trying to find a look that will give me a chance to show these off as well as possible.</div>

That's all for today, I hope you found something here that you liked the look of. My next post will be a look post inspired by birds, there will be a few different ones, at the moment I plan on doing a Kingfisher, Woodpecker and a Blue tit look, I know that all sounds a bit odd but its something I'm very much looking forward to doing and showing you all. I will then be doing another favourite products post about Sugarpill cosmetics. Anyway, I hope you all have a lovely New year, and I will write to you all in 2013! </div>

<br />
<br />
<h2>
Alternative Elf</h2>
<br />
Hello again! <br />
<br />
So me and 2 of my lovely friends have decided it would be a really fun idea to bi weekly do a makeup challenge, the rules are pretty simple, every other week one of us decides on a theme and we all create a look from that. We all felt that it would make sense to use Christmas this week which was rather exciting as there are so many things you can do with this. I had so many ideas for this and really struggled to settle for one. <br />
<br />
Here is my first idea, I tried snowflakes for a Christmas night out, it turns out people like snowflakes, and I ended up doing them on all the girls I was out with that night! It was so lovely to be able to practise on other people, and then get such good feedback from them, it definitely made my night. <br />
<br />
Please excuse the terrible lighting on this picture, it was taken rather late at night and there was no good lighting to be found anywhere. <br />

Even though I loved the snowflake makeup I really wanted to try something else, and decided that I would do an alternative Christmas elf, when I was at the Christmas party where I wore the snowflake makeup, every other person was dressed as an elf, all done exactly the same! Bright pink circle cheeks and loads of glitter, this was when I decided i needed to try and do a fairly easy but nicer looking elf design, and this is what I came up with. </div>

<u>Welcome</u></h2>
<br />
Hi! Firstly welcome to my first ever blog post! thank you very much for visiting. Secondly a small intro, I'm Charley, 21, I work in admin but I have a huge passion for art and makeup, I went to Reigate school of art design and media for 2 years, where I studied fine art and specialised in sculpture (possibly the best 2 years of my life so far). Since leaving college I have tried many different types of art; painting, wax sculpture and drawing, the list is endless.... then I discovered this incredible world of theatrical makeup thanks to some very lovely friends of mine. I had always loved make up, from before I can remember, I always loved the idea of paint you could wear! but yes it was only recently I discovered that the world of makeup can be pushed so much further. So basically that is what I would like this blog to be about, my discovery of new products and what can be done with them. <br />
<br />
So onto the actual post...<br />
<h2>
</h2>
<h2>
<u>Galaxy Makeup</u></h2>
<br />
I love the stars, I love space, I love physics. So, the best way I could think to start this blog is with a galaxy makeup look. For now I will just be putting up photos and listing the products I used, however I will be happy to change this and do tutorials if you would like, please let me know in the comments section. also any other advice would be very much appreciated!<br />
