Monthly Favourites April

Well last Month I didn't really  have much to show you bouquet wise,

But this month I do Huzzah.

1. First up are design's for a renewal of vows ceremony where the Bride and Groom had already married in their native China..
It's always nice when someone see's something they like from your website and asks you to recreate it for them.
Astilbe and Deep water Pink Roses make a contrasting yet subtle impression.

2. Was definately a Fav
Her Bouquet was a simple tied posy with trailing foliage and Pussy willow.

The Brides Mother had grown up in Japan, so for her table arrangements she wanted to evoke the Ikebana simplicity, but still keeping an English country garden feel.

And on her tables she had little Origami cranes as Place settings. Which I personally loved.

3. Was for an Opening of a new restaurant called 'The Dumpling Tree' in Cambridge, Gold and Yellow are considered Good Luck in Chinese culture.
Love the use of Photinia in the foliage and the big Bloom Chrysanths.







Beauty wise there are a few new products I've just recieved and want to get a little more use out of them before I add them to my fav's or do any reviews.

Monthly Favourites March

Ok so apologies for the delay, but March is my birthday month so, there's been quite alot of favouriting ya know!

1st up is Scent

Pure seduction by Victoria's Secret

I literally am in love with this scent. I need more of it, and now there's a store in London, that's where I'm heading next week! :D

I had a body lotion which I bought in the states years ago, which smells like this, it's so fruity and fresh LOVE IT.

2nd

 I didn't really have a Bouquet fav' for this month so I went with a flower,
oh yeaaah.

Here's a pretty Brasica I saw in Ireland! :D


3rd Make up

One of my birthday presents was the Urban decay shattered face palette, which I've pretty much been using everyday.

In the first draw it contains shadows which are kind of neautral with a dark purple in there aswell.

And in the second draw there's some gorgeous blushes, and highlighter, which I have been alternating between,as we go into spring!

It also comes with the highly sought after 247 eyliner pencil in black, and a lip crayon which again the pigmentation is glorious.

My favourite look at the moment is to blend the darker purple into my crease and then the lighter shades over the lid. Then another new discovery was this little gem from wouldya believe it 17.

I really like to dust this over the lids which gives a gorgeous light shimmer for everyday, and then you can apply more, for a really dramatic look for evening.

I'm a definately gonna get more of these colours, they're too brilliant!

February Favourites

Hey Glitterpixie's,

Well, February being the month of Valentine's day and all there's no suprise as a florist that a big whopper of a red rose bouquet was going to be in my favourites for this month :D.

It was a whopper! But well worth the reaction it got and enjoyed doing all the prety finishing touches :)

Beauty Favourites.

1. MUA eyeshadow palette UNDRESSED
Well after lusting after the Urban decay naked palettes for ages I did a bit of research online. And apparently the best dupe in the biz is the MUA Undressed Palette, this retails for 4 pounds. 4!! Pounds! While Urban decay is glorious. Alot of the reviews I have watched said if you don't have an Urban decay Palette the MUA one is Just as good if not almost the same. So I saved myself 32 pounds and got the MUA one.

Well I tells ya I wasn't dissapointed beautiful shadows lasts all day perfect shimmery tones Love it.

I'm ashamed to say I'd always kind of steered clear from MUA because it's alot cheaper, I just assumed the quality wouldn't be great how wrong was I?! There is also a perfect MAC highlighter dupe, which I'm itching to get my mits on too!

 2. Sleek Eyebrow stylist,

I tried to get a good photo of mine but I couldn't! So here's a swatch. It's a retractable pencil with a spooley at the other end. This is a great shade for me, and after getting their mini brow kit in dark, as the light in this, just looked too orangey.  It is just a touch too dark for me, I tend to use the brow kit to define the shape of my brows, and fill in with this little pencil. I have the shade light in the Eyebrow stylist. After hunting everywhere it's so hard to find things for medium blonde hai,r that istn't bright orange.. ! You can see better description and picture's from http://www.sleekmakeup.com/eyes/eyebrows

Monthly Favourites January

Bouquets

Well it would appear some people are already in the Valentines mood eh.

1. A pretty pink and white number. This has more of a compact 'London style' to the bouquet.

2. Another big and blingy bouquet for a regular with heart picks in there

Beauty Products:

1.Lancome Hypnose mascara. Lovely mascara, it's not the water proof  one, but it's a great everyday eyelash poppin mascara it doesn't clump and separates lashes well.

2.Loreal superliner I have to say I'm really impressed with this as someone who likes really precise cat flicks. And having tried a bourjois one that was just average, I was hoping this was going to be good. I think this is thick (I didn't realise at first that you shake the container) long lasting and precise the applicator is a sponge tip. I'd definitely repurchase this and I'd also like to try more of these eyeliners, as they have a few in this range!

Miss Manga Mascara review

Now I have to say I'm a little bit of a sucker for the cute Japanese kind of style.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLPBGOIdswU

And I can tell you I was certainly suckered into buying this after seeing the adverts..

Suckered, I tell you. I have to say this was a pretty disappointing purchase and I'm glad I only bought it at it's offer price.

It didn't do a whole lot for my lashes as mascaras go it was pretty poor I didn't feel it made them any fuller in the slightest.

It has a bendy head too, for what reason, I do not know..? In the advert it looks like the bendyness is used to help create bottom lashes, completely irrelevant as far as I'm concerned. It didn't bend once and unless your lashes are made of steel I don't see how the wand is meant to bend.

I really like loreal especially their eyeliners so I was very disappointed by this gimmicky edition..

Pretty Planters

 Hey there Glitter Pixie's,

Well Spring is here..hard to believe with all of the rain but I've made up a couple of spring like planters, in the hope of hurrying it along a little.

It's hard to compete sometimes with the supermarkets who do often have some quite nice planters..so I've gone a 'lil' upcycle by using a sundae glass, which I think looks really quirky.

I seem to have a thing for incorporating flowers and desserts O_O

Let me know what you think!
