Mascara: So you will probably know by now that I LOVE mascara, so this is the hardest choice for me to make, but one really stands out and that is Maybelline’s Lash Stiletto.  I am in love with this product, it doesn’t totally give me the thickness that I want and it smells a bit funky, but the amount of length that it gives is amazing! That coupled with the fact that it doesn’t clump or give you spider eyes makes this my favourite mascara of all time! (Too see full review please go to the mascara section of prettyhead).

Foundation: I didn’t know how to choose between No 7 Stay Perfect foundation and Maybelline’s Dream Satin Liquid, but after a long hard think I am going to go with the Dream Satin. This provides amazing coverage and the reason that it is my favourite is because of the price, £7.00 in the shops (and a lot cheaper on eBay), means that you are getting a great quality product for an affordable price, which in this economic climate is very important! It provides great coverage, is quite moisturising and lasts for a long time, everything that a foundation should be!

Eyeliner:  Ok so my winner in this category hasn’t been reviewed yet on prettyhead but it will be soon, I think Elizabeth Arden’s eyeliner pot (half blue half black), is amazing. It comes in a little tub, rather like lip balm, and you use the eyeliner brush provided in the set to apply. I paid £6.50 for it on eBay and it costs about £14 new, but I believe that it is worth every penny!

Lips: I would not be without Rimmel’s Shock Gloss, it hasn’t yet been reviewed on here, but it is awesome! It comes in 5 shades but clear is the best and it is super shiny, makes your lips look amazing! I love the applicator as well, instead of a little sponge on the end of the stick, it is a brush, which feels really nice against your lips as you apply. At only £3.99 in Superdrug Rimmel’s shock gloss is a bargin!

Skin: As far a skin care goes there is a clear winner, No 7 protect and perfect beauty serum! It is quite pricey but hey if it works (and scientists say it does!) then I would pay anything!

Hair care: Now this is where I have to cheat and pick 2, anyone that has read my hair care reviews will know that I swear by Pantene conditioner for dry and damaged hair, however a few months ago I discovered a little miracle. Dove’s heat defence therapy spray, designed to protect hair during heat styling, however it made my normally curly/wavy hair rather straight with just hair drying alone! This meant that I had to spend less time straightening and therefore managed to save my hair a little from the damaging effects of straightners. Also my hair held its style all day and all night and then the next day too! I am a huge fan now and have been converted from TRESemme!

So there you have it, those are the products that I love and couldn’t live without, there are loads more, including Barry M dazzle dust, but with so many colours I wouldn’t be able to pick just one! If you have a list of fav products you would like to share, feel free to email me at Faye@prettyhead.co.uk and I will do my best to put yours up here asap!

I have always said i am not an eyeshadow kind of a girl………….I take that back!!! I am sooooooo an eyeshadow girl!!!

I browsed through the product list in awe of the beauty of each and every colour. I simply HAD to have the whole collection!!! Every colour is stunning and the pictures are so clear-xenia (the creator if the lime crime make up line) writes a cute little description/story for each colour. she is a beautiful fairy like character (and in my opinion, pretty much the coolest person on the planet!) she writes a blog which is very interesting, fun and inspiring.

Xenias blog and make up line have inspired me to embrace my individuality, and that if I really want something bad enough I have to make it happen.
I emailed her to ask if she would consider selling sample sizes (as $12 is quite pricey for an eyeshadow, and i think sample sizes or kits would fly off the shelves!) unfortunately she doesnt have plans to sell samples any time soon, but she kindly offered to send me some full size products for review! (so sweet!)

I also ordered alchemy glitter-my order and freebies arrived today with a hand written note from the lovely xenia herself! I got my alchemy glitter, empress, crystal ball and treasure chest. I can honestly say they are the most gorgeous eyeshadows i have ever seen! and the staying power is awsome i wore treasure chest and empress all day today and when i came home they looked exactly the same as when i applied them! i tried the alchemy and it was patchy and not very easy to apply then i dabbed my eye with glycerine (so the glitter would have something to stick to) and patte the alchemy on-gorgeous, it went on looking just like it does on the picture on their site, i love it! I normally like the look of an eyeshadow then when i put it on i am so disappointed because it looks nothing like i hoped/expected it would. I had massivly high hopes for lime crime and they didnt disappoint!!!

So if you havent already i urge you to have a look at the website-yes $12 is not cheap but they are so worth it, a little goes a long way and they are just so so pretty!!! I am making it my mission to eventually have the whole collection (cant wait for christmas!)

I am sure i will be a lime criminal and a deerling for a long time to come!

It was quite hard to get pictures that accurately show the great effect these eyeshadows have, they look good in the pics but are amazing in real life!!
