FLOW: Sleek eye dust trail!

Ok so on thursday I sent my application for the second round of the sleek ambassador competition YIPEEEEE!!!

As i'm still on a high about it I thought theres no better time to get back to you on my Sleek eye dust trial. The colour i tried was 677 Glory dust
Now when it comes to all things glitter I have no qualms in stating that I'm a barry M a holic so trying out a new brand was challenging yet brilliant! The dust has a fantastic metal look and feel to it, I'd suggest it for a bright night out as the glitter sparkles alot more than your bog standard (more than my Barry M). It was exhallarating wearing it as I got looks and an old friend I bumped into even stated "youve got way too much make up on but it looks nice." So you've got to be confident to pull off the eye dust. Word of warning put face powder under the eyes for any reminent dust if you want to keep the shimmer on your lids. So my verdict is I'm keeping my eye dust at bay til christmasday. ooo and at 2.99 the eye dust is a must have stocking filler!!!!


Much love

SHARI: Sephora in London - finally!

LOL - so I just read Flow's post and its a happy day for her. But it's also a happy day for me as well! To all the make-up junkies out there - particularly if you were following make-up gurus on youtube or maybe even on myspace, we always ended up lusting over Sephora.


Now for the people who don't know what Sephora is - it is basically a Disneyland for make-up. It's what Boots and Superdrug combined should be. There is also some skincare and other beauty items. But, the main focus is make-up. To your heart's desires ladies! All in one place! I know it's hard to believe, but it is true.

Now, to my wonderful suprise - it has two stores in the London. Not one. But two. I'm so excited! There is one in the Islington Shopping Centre and there is one at Brent Cross. I think I will check out the one in Islington since it's much closer to me.

But, can you imagine. I'm really excited about the brushes. I have seen the videos on youtube where they made Sephora inspired brush holders - absolutely adorable and genius! It gets 5 stars from me. Also, I hope the sell the Sephora branded cosmetics - I want to try their 'Sephora by OPI' nail polishes.

Sephoras usually have all the big name brands so you don't to trek from one department store to the next. They also have the drugstore brands as well. So it caters to everyone. I have only heard of the experiences people had in Sephora - and I always wanted to experience it. And now, I think my dream may come true! Whether they will have all the brands that they do like in the US stores is a different story - but the fact that Sephora has landed is good enough for me. It's either take it or leave it.



Well, the Sephora story is actually longer than can be explained. I will have to blog about it another time. But, until next time - BYE!

FLOW: HAPPY DAYS!!

ok so this is written is a rush! but I seem to be getting a spout of good luck so I'm going to share it with you lovely people!
Firstly yesterday I got an email from Britains next top model saying my photo was going live on there site

http://pictures.virginmedia.com/bntm/photo/view/23128

Then in the early hours of this morning I recieved a telephone call from Sleek saying that I had reached the next stage of the Sleek ambassador competition!

If both of either go well I'm sure it'l give me some new beauty related topics to blog about!

As for now I'm going to celebrate by wearing my Sleek eye dust out today & giving you an honest review later on how i find it!

Much love

FLOW:Brows going going gone

This winter the look is brown -blonde brows, either way the brows are nice and bushy complimented by bright eyes. So ladies save the plucking, threading & waxing for next season. For those who are brave enough to dye there furry friends make sure you visit your local beautician as DIY dye can get messy and result in damage to the eye area. But for cheats such as myself invest in Benefit Cosmetics Browzings kit that comes in light medium or dark, or brow pencils from our favourite vegan brand B that come in light or dark. I'm loving this new brow look but like most fashion trends I dont think it'll last so don't go all out.

Now, don't get me wrong - I love Britney Spears! But this parody made me laugh a lot!

SHARI: Cheerleading

Well well well! Today is Monday and I am home from an awesome cheerleading session. For the past two weeks I have been exctied about cheerleading. Flow didn't understand what the big deal was. She had signed up for basketball - which she loved. But all the time, I was going on and on about cheerleading. Well, today Flow decided she wanted to try it out. To see if it was all I said it was. Well, when we were doing 'cheerleading squats' - she fully understood the reason why I was in pain for the rest of the week when I had done them the week before! But, at the end of it all - she really enjoyed it! When I asked her about it - she was all smiles and happy about it. Now she's going tumbling with me tomorrow and we plan to go on the Spain trip with the rest of the girls. It's going to be so much fun! Flow, I love you babes and I'm so glad that you enjoyed cheerleading!

FLOW: The Black Market

To my dearest Shari, Good things come to those who wait =)

To all followers,


Welcome!


As undergrads studying Cosmetic Science at the world renound (pause...) London College of Fashion. Me & my dearest Shari have decided to create a space were women can hear up to date information on latest cosmetic trends, products & news, & any other gossip we find interesting.


The Black Market
Recently it was brought to my attention that Ms Beverly Knight would be releasing a brand of Colour cosmetics called "K" suited to women of colour. My heart lept at the news, as all black women know there is a gigantic niche in the market for good cosmetics products that caters to black skin. Last week me & Shari and two other of our fab friends went to check it out. I proud to annouce that I was very happy with our findings. I had myself a mini make over at there counter in Selfridges & I was pleased with the result. The foundation was a perfect match although it was a little glowy, this glow was conteracted by the powder which also was a perfect match & gave a flawless finish. There was no powder residue and I did not look caked. The pigment in the blusher had mac quality so I purchased it & I cant put it down. Make sure you check it out ladies! At the moment its only available in Selfridges but the sales assistant said soon there will be counters opening in Debenhams & John lewis, I'll keep you posted.









Another make up brand has come over from across the waters, Paris the EU home of all things wonderful in Cosmetics have graced us with "BLACK UP" a brand I be investigating in the coming week.

Much love
