Hi Ladies, Welcome to my new website, yay :). I’ve just moved from blogspot so bear with me. I make YouTube videos under the name Dazzledust25. I'm also available for Weddings, Debs, Photo shoots, one on one make-up lessons and make-up parties.
This week I will be giving away my favourite Rimmel eyeshadow in Intense. It's a stunning puple which is bang on trend this season.
Rachel Bilson always gets her make-up right. I love that she embraces her freckles. She looks pretty, fresh and groomed, she checks all the boxes.
Just copy the code below into your website :)
I did a little beauty and make-up shopping, oopsie! I ordered some goodies from Victoria Secret.
I have heard so much about their lipsticks that I had top try some. Here’s the video if you want to see what I got. You’ll find the links to my review of the lipsticks (and swatches) and the shampoos below.

This is my first experience with Victoria Secret lipsticks. I ordered 3, a sheer pink, a peach and a coral. It was tough to settle on these three but after consulting some swatches I decided these suited my requirements; a soft, medium and loud. Don’t ask why I felt the need or a loud lipstick when I am addicted to neutrals, I’m may be trying to change my ways.
Satin Sheets is the first in the picture. It’s very sheer, with little colour. It adds a lovely dimension to the lips when applied over other lipsticks. It also looks very pretty on bare lips for a soft pink sheen. This is one fo those lipsticks that will live in my handbag. Regardless of what lipstick I apply when I’m getting ready I always keep a go to lippie in my bag and I retouch with that. I think one makes lips look kissable.
Scrumptuous is a true peach. It’s much more pigmented than Satin Sheets. This is one of those lipsticks that will look great on most skintones. It’s quite a warm, fleshy shade. I notice on the show What Not to Wear that the make-up artist usually applies a peach shade on the women during the make-over; this is what this lipstick reminds me of. I applied it over concealed lips lined with MAC Buerre Liner and a dab of Love Nectar Lustre Glass. It looked quite glamorous but in a soft way. It made me look polished.
Cabana is a coral. It looks quite bright but has a semi sheer finish. It is absolutely gorgeous and bang on trend this season. Whether I have the guts to wear it is another issue!
Here are the swatches:

Have you tried Victoria Secret make-up? What do you think?
Hey girlies,
A little while ago I was asked to show you my Natural Collection Lipsticks. I have 6 of them (misplaced one today). They are super cheap but quite good quality. Despite my ever growing collection of MAC lipsticks I still reach for these cheapies just as often.
Natural Collection is a Boots brand which is available in all of their branches. I don’t rate their eyeshadows at all but I do love their lippies.
My favourite is Apple Blossom, a peachy nude. It’s great for muting out lip colour without making it look like you have a mouth full of concealer. I also like mixing it with brighter shades of lipstick, a clever way of injecting a bit of colour when you’re terrified of brights. Rose petal is also gorgeous, it’s a wearable soft pink.
The picture above and below; left to right:
Apple Blossom, Rose Petal, Sand Castle, Sorbet, Crimson.
Apple Blossom, Rose Petal and Crimson are richer in texture than the others. Sand Castle and Sorbet are much more sheer.
Have you tried Natural Collection lipstick? What is your favourite?

These lipsticks are around €10. They have a lovely range of shades and are widely available worldwide.I bought mine in Superdrug. (more…)
I know it’s a rip off, I know its just another neutral lipgloss but god I love Nars Turkish Delight! I bought it in Selfridges in London for £17 sterling last August. I have no idea how much this costs in euros, probably about €28. It’s quite a lot for a lipgloss.
The thing I like most is the colour. It’s a pinky nude sheen. I have never come across a lipgloss that is similar to this one. I’ve checked out peoples ‘dupes’ but they don’t come close in my opinion. I also love the texture. It’s creamy not sticky and very smooth. It doesn’t leave my lips dry at the end of the day.
There’s a con with every product and this gloss is no exception. The staying power is poor. It’s one of those glosses that belongs in your handbag, at hand for constant reapplying. It last longer when paired with a lipstick.
My favourite way to wear Turkish Delight is with MAC Creme d’Nude Lipstick and a neutral liner. I also love it over Hue and Pretty Please. Hell I love it over everything!
This is expensive, with little staying power yet I adore it. It’s a mystery!
What do you think?
I have never understood the interest in lavender lipstick. I have to admit that this is probably because I think it would look silly me on despite the fact that it looks gorgeous on some.
I have to say that in the last few weeks I have found myself wondering about lavender lips. I have heard many guru’s rave about MAC’s Lavender Whip and Barry M’s similar shade. They look pretty in the tube but I never gave them a second thought. I am now intrigued.
I would be interested to hear what you all think about the lavender/lilac shades.
Have you any in your make-up bag?
