Hello!! Welcome to 2015… it’s not really saying Happy New Year so no complaining please!! I am currently sitting under a duvet looking a bit like death warmed up.. having a bad day…. in the middle of winter!! I do have warm brownie so that’s a silver lining. So, my face is in no fit state to model make up and you will just have to make do with some recycled selfies!! However there is a reason to this, over the festive period I popped my Illamasqua cherry and bought a few delicious bits and pieces.

The few bits and bobs that I purchased were a limited edition eyes and brows set. The brow gel is a gorgeous lightweight formula that gives easy blending through the brows. Illamasqua cream eye shadow in Vintage Metallic, packed full of sparkle and a soft mid tone brown. Great for eye shadow base! The liner was a little disappointing as I wanted it to be a little more pigmented… however! Silver lining,it would be great for people that don’t want to strong a liner and could be easily blended and buffed out. Illamasqua Blush Duo in shades Katie and Ambition. “Katie” is an ice pink matte shade that gives a beautiful flush of cold pink cheeks! “Ambition” is a rich rose shade with a shimmer of gold flecks through it for a healthy glow. I was also a lucky chicken an recieved a few samples of Matte veil, Hydra Veil and the legend which is Skinbase. I visited the Carnaby St boutique and have to say recieved the best ever service!! Top marks for Illamasqua!!
I have a few more Blogs up my sleeve… So hold on… bear with me! This year is shaping up to be the biggest one yet for StephM.Artistry so if there are blog gaps please forgive.. But as always thanks for reading and I can’t wait to keep you guys looped in my busy crazy year ahead!!
