My Pink Lipstick Collection


After watching quite a few beautiful deep brown ladies wearing the now infamous MAC lipstick Candy Yum Yum, I decided to give in to the hype. It is not the usual colour I would wear. I have bought pink lipsticks before but never wore them for long periods. On a whim I decided to buy Candy Yum Yum and a few other pinks to bulk up my collection. I am quite impressed and love this bolder me. I just have to get the right balance between eyeshadow and lipstick right. Below I have included swatches of each lipstick I own. Some are said to be dupes of Candy Yum Yum so you can compare and contrast that for yourself.

How do you wear pink lipsticks and do you suggest any lipliner shades?

Brow shaping


I bought this product called Eylure Eybrow shapers in Boots. When I first used it my eye brows has been waxed a fortnight before and had some strays that needed removing. It worked perfectly. I just cleaned my brows with either white rum (thats the Jamaican in me. Over proof white rum has so many uses) or clean and clear or something similar. I was so amazed.

So with fully grown brows and faced with a night out with my girls to celebrate Shezza’s 3.0 birthday I thought I would have a go at a complete reshape. These things are like a very strong  sellotape. You get 3 strips which contain 21 shapers for different parts of the brow. I almost messed up my brows. Thankfully my husband has his uses.

He shaped them using a brand new loose razor. He told me he rescued my brows. So I guess I will still try to do them myself but also seek a professional of some sort.

Do you think he did a good job? I am wearing in the pic about 3 different shades of Barry M dazzle dust,( unsure of colour) numbers and Sleek Mascara.
