EOTD :)

So we've all heard of face of the day, lip of the day, outfit of the day, nail of the day etc. Just to put a different slant on things, here is my eye of the day :)

Let me know if we shall make this a regular occurance..

It's a simple smokey brown eye, which I think looks more hard work than it actually is!

The eyeshadows used all came from an Elegant Eyes Chilli Pepper palette, in 'Slate'

I'm not sure if it is still available, but they do have a bigger palette which looks to me like it might contain the same colours. Take a peek here.

Some quick swatches are below..

L-R - 1, 2, 3, 4

L-R - 4, 3, 2, 1

L-R - 1, 2, 3, 4

Using the applicator that came along in the palette, I coated the eye lid in number 3, followed by a gentle smudge of number 1, (again all over the lid).  Number 4 was dabbed graciously in the outer 1/2 of the lid, with a dusting of number 2 smudged into the crease.

With the eye lashes curled, I coated them with mascara, and lined the tight-line and water-line with a black eye pencil. Finally added a touch of Benefit's bright eye pencil to the inner corner of the eyes. And voila! ..a simple and easy to apply look, that can be subtle enough for the day, but can be glammed up for the night. (see below)

 Products Used:
Elegant Eyes Chilli Pepper Palette, in 'Slate'
Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara (have been using this for over 30 days now, and have seriously noticed an improvement! See my reviews here and here.)
Benefit's Eye Bright
Estee Lauder Artist's Eye Pencil in 'Soft Smudge Black'

For a quick day to night change, I would pop on some of FYF's Couture Pout Mineral Lipstick in 'Natalie', and a smooth all over coating of their Radiant Eye Shadow in 'Moon Beam' to add a little sparkle..

Loving right now.. :)

Just a couple of bits that I am currently loving :)

1. M.A.C Pigment in Naked.

After a trip to Selfridges on Oxford Street, I had my first mac experience.. and loved it!

I picked up a couple of items and the first was a pigment..

Its a really natural colour, which I use for a highlight or an everyday eyeshadow.

2. M.A.C Dazzle Glass in Baby Sparks

Its a gorgeous baby pink with violet pearl.

As you can probably guess I went all 'au natural' with my first mac products as I didn't want to waste my money on something I would never wear, and I'm glad I did as I pretty much wear these everyday. 

3. Amie Skincare.
Completely perfect for winter, as their skincare products keep the skin looking healthy and glowing.

 Full post coming soon, so watch this space :)

Drop of Sherry                  Fudge Brownie

The swatches on the website really don't do these colours justice, so I will be uploading some more realistic photos later this week!

But in the meantime I am being amazed at the staying power these lipsticks possess as no re-applying is needed throughout the day.

Speak Soon, Lucy Jo x

P.S quickly go and see what you can find on the Rimmel website, as they are currently giving away 10,000 full-size samples of these super lipsticks. :)

Rimmel's Lash Accelerator, Update!

And so I am nearing the end of my 30 day trial, and I'm absolutely loving it!

See my original post here.

I have noticed a difference, not only in length, but in the thickness and strength of my lashes..

See the before and afters..

Before, L-R - with mascara, without mascara

 After 30 days, L-R - with mascara, without mascara

So I think these speak for themselves really, I've definitely seen an improvement.. have you?

Men Are Useless

Or are they? Because which ever lot of men came up with this ingenious idea are certainly the opposite.

The company's policy, is that men should be out there catching the baddies, not faffing around ordering shampoo's and razors, so they deliver it straight to your door, without any hassle at all.


The Men Are Useless aim … to give men (and the people who love them) more time to play out, fight sharks, catch baddies, build dens, practice wheelies and hit the heights they deserve.

They believe …

1. Men have better things to do than going out shopping for male grooming stuff.
2. Their partners should not be relied on to buy their essentials
3. There are a lot of rubbish toiletries out there that should not be selling in the numbers they are
4. Men with better things to do (like building dens), prefer fewer, better choices.
5. Men should not be walking out of their houses smelling like their partner's bathroom products, and so need their own.
6. Busy men should not be worrying about the mundane!
7. Male Chromosomes + Shops = Misery, - and we quite agree!
8. All men, given some free time, can find a creative use for it
9. Why bother doing the boring stuff, cause it uses up the time they should be doing rewarding stuff
10. Good grooming essentials should not cost the earth.

The box comes packed full of daily essentials especially for men, at a great price starting at £9.99 - all in. (VAT and P&P included.)

We were sent the 'Works' Box, which contains a shampoo/shower gel, king of shaves azor, spare cartridges, shave gel, toothpaste & spare razor every 2 months, a deodrant, and face pack - so your man will never go short.

Here is a sneak peak inside the box, complete with funny postcards and a letter from men are useless..
