The Perks of being a Fashion Fanatic: Beauty must haves!

Hello again Lovelies,

Here is my recent eBay purchase, and possibly my best one yet!

Here's the story: I have a gold pigment, glittery eyeshadow that I absolutely LOVE! It's my favourite thing in the whole world - absolutely perfect for nights out, goes with every outfit and complements my evening looks amazingly (next time I use it, I'll post a picture, but its called Ore from Illamasqua). So, my love for this eyeshadow, as you can tell, is immense and I decided a few weeks ago that I would love it in silver! I have seen so many make-up artists use silver and it just looks divine.

So, decision made, I started my hunt for a silver, glittery eyeshadow to fall in love with just like my gold one, as it would be perfect for the party season and Christmas. I looked HIGH and LOW for one, and couldn't see one anywhere - they were either too much like a grey (which I already had) or too expensive for the tiniest pot in the world which would last me two secs.

Nearly giving up on my search, one night while I was sat around doing nothing, feeling downhearted over my latest shopping failure, I remembered eBay!

I type in what I'm looking for and low and behold, I find exactly what I'm looking for and then some!

Not only did I find the most perfect silver, glitter eyeshadow but it also came with 8 other equally as perfect eyeshadows in an array of colours, PLUS, at £5.00 with free delivery I was getting more than what I originally bargained for - PERFECTION!

I'm still full of excitement over my recent purchase and couldn't wait to share it with you all! Below, I have taken pictures of each shadow and done swatches on my hand of what each one looks like (sorry if the quality of the images aren't up to standard, I had to use my phone)

All 9 eyeshadows - How Exciting!!

Here are the first two; the silver and black metallic colours.
Perfect for a simple day look, or for a perfect smokey eye look for an evening!

Here are the next 3; these are more natural, metallic colours which can be used for evening looks, but are just stunning for a day look - like lunch with the girls or if you're going on a date with someone special ;)

And the rest; the exciting bit! GLITTER! What girl doesn't like a bit of Glitter?! Well, aren't these just absolutely stunning and will look incredible for any evening look, especially if you're going somewhere special!

How utterly fantastic are these? I'm super glad I found them when I did. The PP was supposed to take between 14-24 days as they were coming from around the world, but they came in less time than that which was fantastic and just in time for my works Christmas party! Of course, I gave them an excellent review on eBay as I was so impressed.

I can't wait to use them next weekend for my 1920s themed party! Here are some Make-Up ideas that I'm hoping to use as my inspiration; What do you think?

I went to watch Skyfall the other night for the second time, and fell in love with Berenice Marlohe! She is absolutely stunning! There is a part in the film where she, and Bond, are sat at a bar in a casino - her make-up and hair is absolutely perfect for my party next weekend... I just hope I can look as beautiful as what she does!
