Last week I did a post inspired by my favourite colour purple (Read HERE). It was a lot of fun to do and it reacquainted me with quite a few neglected items in my make up collection! So I thought it would be fun to do more colour inspired posts and this week I’ve chosen to do RED!
I had a BIG vision for this post and it was going to be RED galore! But turns out I actually don’t have that many red items? I ask myself why? I LOVE red!! I am however wearing my new Red PJ’s to make up for the lack of red! :)
Anyhow I did manage with the very few red items that I do have! I have a red eyeshadow by Illamasqua which I got from the Mystery Selection (Read HERE), and to be perfectly honest I had no idea what I would do with a red eyeshadow until now! This little gem actually works great as a blusher and looks great on the eyes teamed with some smokey black shadow!
PRODUCTS FEATURED
POWDER EYESHADOW ‘ANGST’:ILLAMASQUA|| INTENSE LIPGLOSS ‘SUCCUBUS’: ILLAMASQUA|| LIPSTICK ‘SHADE 1’: MUA|| VERNIS LAQUE PUR: YSL.
Red Nail Polish is a classic look and one of the items that I thought I wouldn’t be short of! Unfortunately since I live in practically two places, the majority of my nail polish collection was left back at home and all I had was this REALLY old one by YSL that I got almost 10 years ago.. Gross? In my defence it doesn’t look 10 years old and the formula is still as fantastic as the day I received it as a lovely gift! :P No clumping or thickening! Just High Shine, Glossy Perfection! There in itself restores my faith in high end polishes and reminds me why we pay extra for them, I can’t see my Highstreet polishes being useable in 10 years time? Don’t quote me I could be wrong…
I know it’s still weeks away yet, but I think this makes a nice Valentines Day Makeup look if you need some inspiration!
Now, BIG SHOUT OUT to a nutty Blogger I’ve come to know! She’s as mad as a box of mad… hatters? Lol, I dunno, but she is mad, I’m sure you get the gist! Epiphannie at www.epiphanniea.co.uk has joined forces with me to paint the blog town red this week! Her post made me chuckle out loud! Go see for yourself her madness! She’s hilarious! (READ IT HERE).
Next week I’ll be doing a PINK post! If you’d like to take part just create a post using your selected PINK items and link me to your post so I can check it out! :)
Thanks for reading guys!
I’m loving these posts Kamen!
Thank you Jess :D x
You look gorgeous! The nail polish is so beautiful and so classic!
I’m so tempted to do another online order at Illamasqua now!
Aw thanks hun! Oh I love Illamasqua! They just had a massive sale aswell! :D
Aw I love that red shadow!
Thank you! It was a weird one at first putting red on my eyes lol! The Black corners toned it down tho :)
Wow, I love it! I really like red, especially on eyes I think red is not getting enough attention from the beauty brands… Red on lips, red on cheeks – tick, tick… But not on eyes. Very pretty look & nice post :) xx
Thank you! I was wary about the red shadow at first, but thankfully it works with the black! :) x

You are so beauty brave, the red liner is amazing! For Super Bowl Sunday, I’ll be painted red. Go NINERS! Hey are considering a football themed nail art? Ohhhh?
Haha I just have an obsession with make up lol! Haha Football nail art sounds interesting lol! Will have to let u know if I get inspired hehe! x
ahhh i totally love red on you :D especially on the lips! :D
Red means passion, right? But did you know that Red actually conveys different meanings and many of these meanings, though, come from one single source: blood. Blood is LIFE + HEART= LOVE. (-: I love red, too, and I love the way you model those products. Very professional.
Your make-up and nails look gorgeous! I especially love the color of your eyeshadow.
Thank you Hun! Glad you like it! :) x
