Hello Kitty Noir Palette

Hello all! It has been a while but I am making it a priority to get back to my beauty stuff and YouTube channel.

I thought I would write my latest blog about my most recent buy - the Hello Kitty Noir eyeshadow and lipgloss palette. I have fallen in love with it but I am going to write a critical review here about it wih the intention of doing a YouTube video to follow soon (as soon as I find that camera!!!)

Ok so the positives: great color selection, not glittery but a fair mix of soft shimmers and matte colors, all capable of doubling for soft daytime or dramatic night look. The pigmentation it actually much better than I expected, the deeper colors cover well particularly the bright blue. The lighter colors do need more on for effect but nothing out of the ordinary. The design of the box is cute, it's actually a tin which surprised me as I thought it was a palette with a flip up lid but really it's muh like a cookie tin lol. I don't actually mind it though since it does help when I have all my makeup out and I am pushed for space. As for the lipglosses I cannot say yet as I haven't experimented and generally I don like lipglosses in my palettes, I just gets annoying when powder from the shadows gets in there and it all gets a bit gloopy! I would rather the glosses be replaced with more shadows but you don't get everything you want! Lol

Cons, well there really are no major ones, more like my personal preferences really, such as more shadows less glosses etc. I would have liked the eyeshadow brush and lip brush to be separated into two brushes rather than having a double ended brush, I understand it is compact for the packaging but I would make the trade because two brushes is just less messy in the long run.

One the price front $34 at Sephora isn't bad in my books but for those of you that bought this hot off the press the price was much steeper - poor you. But look on the bright side you still got a fantastic product.

Overall initial rating: 8.5/10
Cuteness rating 10/10 lol

Enjoy, Peace&Love xJx

My Colours for the Season!

Here is my low-down on the styles for the season!!!!!!!!!

Ok my colour obsession for the Fall/Winter is as follows:

* Heather/Lilac

* Burnt Orange

* Browns

* Beige

* Gold/Vintage Gold/Gold-leaf

I am particularly into scarves, boots, graphic tees with short jackets. Leather bomber jackets are my love for this season, particularly the sand coloured to deep browns.

As for boots, cream/beige or brown suede is my pick for the season (whether flat or with a small heel). Fortunately for women all around the world, black high heeled boots will always be flattering and in for cold weathers! :) So for an evening look Blacks, leathers, silvers and neutral - bright tones are all a GO-GO!

Accessories:

For daywear to compliment the Heather, Burnt Orange, Browns and Beige tones:

* Sling bag (Hobo, Indie, and crazy patterns!)

* Scarf  - Long, loose and unique

* Headbands ARE IN! Especially those with the flat flowers

* Overlaping long to short necklaces

* Belts! Thick, leather and vintage please! :)

As for hair, loose locks are in, waves or loose curls are perfect for this time of year, very soft and feminine. As for those of us who struggle to get the waves/curls (myself included) loose half up/half downs, and side braid/plait is a great alternative. Perhaps add in a small headscarf or unique headband.

Now for your evening look:

* Don't forget to wrap up - so get a great looking woolen coat (especially those with the big buttons -lovelove!)

* Take the scarf again, but this time make it glittery! Sequins are back from the 70's and they are shaking up Fall/Winter 2010!

* Don't be afraid to shine, shimmer is great so pick materials that will enhance your natural glow.

* Nude to neutral shades come alive if they have a shimmer, so be on the look out for them.

* Mini skirts are back - but I didn't say micro-mini (keep that in the 90's closet!) RaRa, to sequined, to satin - they are all back in full force. Just make sure you pair them with the right shoes, be careful pairing them with boots - there is a fine line between stylish and tacky!

* Don't forget the blazer - who said they were for private schools only? They are fantastic! So you have a plain boring black one lingering in your closet? Break it out, add some sequins, a broach, a skinny, sparkly scarf and voila! You have a stylish jacket to hit the nightlife with!
