Check out Essie great colours for Summer 2011.
These colours really make your nails dazzle.

Colours: Absolutely Shore, Smooth Sailing, Super Bossa Nova, Braziliant, Meet Me At Sunset, Too Too Hot

My favourite colours from this collection have to be Smooth Sailing and Super Bossa Nova these colours are really pretty and Smooth Sailing reminds be of the beach and Super Bossa Nova is just a nice bright fun colour.

Recently i went shopping a picked up Essie nail polish for the first time and I have to say I love it and I will be buying more of there polishes in the near future. There polish go on in 1 coat or 2 coats and that's all you need and for me they don't cheap fast like some other polishes.

Here are the colours that I got and the swatches.

Plumberrry is a berry red colour with a hint of pink.

Aruba Blue to me is kinda like an electric blue colour.

This one goes on in 1 coat but if your like me I always put on more then 1 coat.

Fifth Avenue is like a orange mixed with red, can't really tell in the picture but it's like a dark coral
and it's list under coral on Essie website.

What are some of your fav Essie colours?

Beyonce Makeup

Today post is on Beyonce, one of my favourite makeup looks by her so far is from this music video telephone. Hope you enjoy today post :)

Step 1. Prep your eye lids with mac primer or any primer you wish to use.

Step 2. Sweep Mac eyeshadow in Chrome Yellow on your eyelids with a eye shadow brush. Apply from the lash line to the crease.

Step 3. Next apply Mac eyeshadow in Red Brick with a blending brush. Start from your eye crease up to almost your brow bone. You want make sure you you apply the red that its just a touch of red like in the picture above.

Step 4. Now that your done with the shadow apply your eyeliner.

Step 5. Apply your mascara. Or if you wish I think this look, looks better with fake lashes which i wished i would have used.
Here is how this look turned out for me.

Make Your Makeup Last All Day

Simple tips to help make your makeup last all day long.

Tip 1.
If your wearing liner, use a powder shadow that matches your eyeliner and dip a flat brush in the shadow and trace over the liner. This will set the liner and make it last longer.

Tip 2.

Cream blushes last longer then powder blushes, after you apply your foundation apply a cream blush. The two will bond together. Powder blush just sits on top of foundation which makes it easier to come off during the day.

Tip 3.

Don't touch your face, the oils from your hand will mess with your makeup.

Tip 4.

In case lipstick rubs off apply a lip liner thats the same colour as a base then apply your lipstick that way if the lipstick wears off you still have a touch of colour.
