June 2013 Makeup Run To London!!

Well! 4am arrives and me and MissPennyDreadful only having about an hours sleep between us struggles to apply makeup and make ourselves look visibly acceptable! Our coach left Nottingham Broadmarsh at 5.40am sleep was on the cards for us as we both looked as though we had been dragged out a graveyard backwards!!
 
 


 
 
 
Choccy Woccy Doodahs!
WOW! all these stunning cakes are made entirely from chocolate! we spoke to the lady behind the counter and she explained how all cakes are made to order and ranging from £1,500 all the way up to £15,000! They have amazing and unique designs and can honestly say I was blown away!
 


 
 
Ripley's believe it or not
This was such fun! next time in London I really need to do the tour, we was only in there a matter of minutes before me and Penny was reduced to giggles! I wonder what happened to the man with 3 legs and 2 penises?!!
 
 






Touristy Stuff :)
You cannot go to London without seeing some of the sights!
My favourite thing was possibly at the crossing, they have a horse button so when the police are on horse back they can push the button and wait for the green horse to safely cross the road!
 
 

FINALLY onto the makeup! =D

 
 
Absolutely LOVE Illamasqua! This was my first experience of Illamasqua in a shop rather than online, I was like a kid in a candy store just didn't know what to look at first! I've been looking for a new foundation for a while now but been unsure of what brand to try so when the makeup artist talked me through the range of foundations and recommended I tried 'Skin Base' and gave me a quick demo I fell in love, this foundation suits my skin perfectly and its easy to build the coverage from light to heavy and feels like I'm wearing nothing!
Also The Paranormal range they have is gorgeous, the colours are highly pigmented and also the eye shadow palette is made up of a silicon based shadow which makes it long lasting and water resistant!  
 
 

 
I also got some MAC Chromographic Liners which also double up as amazing lip liners! Lip Mix in blue, black and white, paint sticks in pink and blue!
I still have a list as long as my arm of products I want to get and have a play with so another makeup run in August is in order! here is a couple of snaps of the lip mix's I used the chromographic liner as lip liner then filled the inner with the lip mix :)

Sorry About the Awful picture quality!
 
Also mixed into our very long and busy day we was invited to the Irish Embassy for a Fashion event which was by Irish Designers, it was my first time at one of these events and I love it! was really good to socialise with some lovely people and see some of the garments they had created :)
 
This photo sums up how I was feeling after walking god knows how many miles and running on hardly any sleep! we left penny's house at 5am and arrived back at Penny's at 12am so after a 19 hour day of travelling and roaming round the capital city I was more than ready for bed!
