FOTD: Go Big Or Go Home!

 

Hiya Lovelies!

Just thought I'd share a quick FOTD with you all. I went out in town with some friends last night as its been a while and I'm eventually free from uni until October, YAY! So i vainly quickly took a few snaps just before i went out the door because i was particularly pleased with how my hair turned out! I love big hair but big hair doesn't love me, mine drops within half a hour and no volumising product so far (and I've tried tons) has worked. So to have some good hair, even for half an hour was good for me!

Eyes:
Inglot Neutrals. (Sorry I'm being lazy!)

Mac Dazzlelight
Mac Omega (Brows)
Elf Liquid Liner
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Red Cherry Lashes #110

Lips:
Mac Watch Me Simmer Lipstick (really blotted down)
Mac Wonderstruck Lustre Glass

Face:
Elf Primer

Elf HD Powder
Estee Lauder Double Foundation
Collection 2000 Last Perfection Concealer
Nars Laguna Bronzer
Mac Cream Colour Base in Pearl
Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks in Bronze and Rose.

Oh and as per usual i decide to do a FOTD a few days before I'm due to get my eyebrows done, so they are horrendous! A good night was had by everyone, although it was pretty hectic. And i am STILL nursing my killer hangover! Oh well!

Thanks for reading guys!

Blogiversary Giveaway

 Ello lovelies!

My Makeup Obsession is officially 1 today!
I know it sounds a tad cliche to say, but i honestly can't believe its been a year since i started blogging! I look back and mega cringe at some of my first posts; googled images + not the greatest information, sigh! Another cliche thing to say, i honestly didn't think anyone would read what i had to write about! Although it may not be a lot to some, I'm over the moon with the amount of followers i have, and the lovely comments you all leave. I'd much rather have a couple of people read and enjoy my blog, than thousands of followers that don't. So a HUGE thank you to each and every one of you following.

So now I'll get onto the good stuff!
As some of you might have seen in recent posts i had a bit of a mix up with my Beauty From The Earth order, and received doubles of things that they were nice enough to let me keep. So i stashed them away in a draw safely until i got the chance to give them away to one of you lot!

What you could win:
7 BFTE full size Eye shadows:
Cocoa, Bliss, Autumn, Baked, Karma, Ocean Mist and Oxford.

Doll Face blush.

Two pairs of Red Cherry Lashes:
#66 and C210

All of these goodies will go to one lucky winner!
Open internationally.

You can see my latest BFTE swatchfest here.

I'm using Rafflecopter this time as it seems like an easier format.
The giveaway will be open for three weeks, which I'll basically have finished university for the year, so i can pick a winner the get it posted out swiftly.

Good luck and again, thanks for reading!

FOTD: Green With Envy

  

My Sugarpill collection doesn't get as much love as it deserves, so i decided this definetly needed rectifying! I've been suffering a bit with my skin lately (hence the lack of FOTD's) so i was pretty chuffed at today's attempt.

It's a little more dramatic then I'd usually go for, especially the lashes! But I was pretty happy with how it turned out, just not so happy i couldn't really get a decent picture!
 

Eyes:

Urban Decay - Primer Potion

Sugarpill - Junebug and Goldilux

Sugarpill - Taco, Midori and Bulletproof
Elf - Black Liquid Liner
Urban Decay -  24/7 Eyeliner Black
Red Cherry Lashes - #304

Face:

Skin79 - BB Cream
Estee Lauder - Double Foundation in Shell
Elf - HD Powder
The Balm - Frat Boy Blush

Sugarpill still remains some of my all time favourite pressed and loose eye shadows and these will definitely get the love they deserve over the next few months. I currently have the complete collection of Sugarpill loose and pressed eye shadows so feel free to check out reviews and swatches here, here and here.

On another note, just under two weeks till IMATS... Eeeee excited!

Bargain Beauty - Red Cherry Lashes

I've never been really a big lash girl. My first ever experience was with Mac lashes, and i think i looked at them more than i actually wore them. Lashes are expensive, and when you're a bit heavy handed like me they run the risk of only being worn once. So spending £4 - £10 on a pair of lashes for just one night out never really appealed to me. 

So over the past six months or so I've been playing around with more affordable lashes, some being utterly rubbish! I'd seen all the hype online about these, but i was initially a little cautious and just purchased a few pairs, initially... Then i discovered how much i actually LOVED them the addict in me purchased another pair, or 20.

I'm still a lash newbie but these by far are my favourite lashes to date. They are SO easy to apply and i forget I'm even wearing them.The best part about these lashes is the price. Many websites I've seen sell them around $2 each, BARGAIN! 

These two are probably my lashes of choice so far, they have an extensive range from natural to dramatic so there's really something for every lash fan. I apply these with DUO adhesive and I've even had to be reminded to take them off, they are that comfy!

I ordered mine from Beauty From The Earth's website here
At the time they had their cyber Monday sale with 40% off, making them even more of a bargain! And shipping is extremely reasonable to the UK.

I'm looking forward to posting some FOTD's with these beauties!
