HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY FROM F&F!!!

Green Feathers

Since the first time I saw Illamasqua's iconic looks featuring long, feathery lashes on the lower lid, I've been obsessed with finding something similar. I've had a hard time finding lashes that would be suitable for this kind of look, but then I discovered those feather lashes at www.kkcenterhk.com and thought that even though they are somewhat different, they'd be a good start! The only downside: they are incredibly delicate, so you need a lot of care when applying them!

Next time, I'll try and see what the lashes look like on the top lid :)

Bodyshop lip scuff £8 from bodyshop.co.uk

Bodyshop Lip Butter

I'm really passionate about trying to find products that are more natural and kind on my skin. 

Most lip products contain Petroleum based ingredients which are derived from a product used to make petrol (crude oil). Petroleum based products feel moisturising at first, but they dry out your lips after continued use. When your lips are dry you reach for the product again and then get your short term fix. This makes the lip product addictive and you buy more!! 

I've been using the bodyshops lip butter and also the bodyshops lip scuff - which is an lip exfoliator. Burts bee's lipcare is good too!!

Rachel Bilson Launches Edie Rose Home For Macy's

Rachel Bilson is back at designing for her Edie Rose line! Instead of clothing, however, she's designing tableware for Macy's. I have to say it seemed a little random, but apparently Rachel has been collecting dishes since she was a young girl. Who knew?

Explaining why she decided to start the line, Rachel says, "I was on what seemed like an endless search for really cute dishware and tabletop items when I thought it would be fun to design what I was looking for. I have a passion for dishes and thought it would be a great opportunity to design exactly what I wanted -- cute and stylish entertaining and dining ware that is affordable."

The line is aimed "to appeal to the modern woman at various stages of her life, whether she is going off to college, decorating her first apartment, registering for her wedding or simply in need of beautiful items for her home." The pieces range in price from $12-58 and are meant to be mixed and matched. Every piece reflects Rachel's love of "birds, butterflies and all things whimsical," and the entire collection is tied together by a common color palette of turquoise, aqua, black and white.

What does Macy's think of line? “Edie Rose Home reflects a timely aesthetic that appeals to the fashion savvy Macy’s customer,” said Steve Cardino, vice president and fashion director of Macy’s Home Store. “We are proud to be the exclusive retailer of this eclectic and affordable collection that infuses Rachel’s eye for style with everyday pieces for the home.”

Well, Macy's definitely sound supportive. And the line looks promising, but I'll have to wait and see. As most of my friends know, after living with so many for so many years, peacocks have become my least favorite animal on the planet so featuring them in the line is a bit of a turnoff, but even I have to admit the piece below is actually pretty cute.

Royal Sugar

My first time using Sugarpill Cosmetics! You know perhaps I love matte shades very much, and therefore I'm quite happy that most Sugarpill shades, even though they might contain shimmer, possess a pretty strong base colour. Royal Sugar is a prime example - it looks almost glittery in the pot, but goes on such a vibrant, highly-pigmented blue!

How to achieve it:
1. Apply NYX Milk Jumbo Eye Pencil and blend all over the lid with your fingers.
2. Apply Afterparty all over the lid and crease. Blend well using MAC's #217 blending brush.
3. Use a flat synthetic brush to apply Sugarpill Royal Sugar wet onto the middle of the lid. Blend with a smaller brush, e.g. MAC's #219.
4. Highlight inner corners with Sugarpill Tako eyeshadow.
5. Line upper lid with a felt-tip liner brush. Draw a thick line, wing it out and add a little dot at the end of the line.
6. Line lower waterline with white kohl.
7. Line lower lid with Royal Sugar and black gel eyeliner, mirroring the upper liner.
8. Glue whispy false lashes to the upper lid
9. Apply mascara.

Product List
NYX Milk Jumbo Eye Pencil, Sugarpill Tako, Sugarpill Royal Sugar, Sugarpill Afterparty, u.m.a. gel eyeliner black, Maybelline Expression kohl in white, CG Lash Blast, Red Cherry #WSP lashes

And here are my two new pieces of jewelry that I got on saturday :)
