Curtain Twitcher...




Been practicing a bit of latex ageing effects today.. just coz I have to teach it to el studentes next week and I havent done it for ages meself... no pressure then!

Anyway I decided to go for a 70 year old ' curtain twitching ' pensioner theme.. she stil has a penchant for silver nail polish though...

SMASHBOXING DAY !!!


Jingle those bells! Ive found another CRUELTY FREE pro brand of make up! whoop whoop!! I was introduced to Smashbox Cosmetics this year, and knew it was a pro quality brand, but was worried it might be one of the bad ones ( for animal welfare ) such as Chanel or Estee Lauder..

Well it seems to be A - OK!!!.. it has the US version of the Cruelty Free bunny logo printed on the box, and it was developed by a photo studio in CA , it's not an offshoot of a big name brand..

Ive only got two products so far ( as its not mega cheap ) but you can buy it in Debenhams.. Ive got the High Def liquid foundation, and a lovely, very blendable eyeshadow to try out in my kit. The foundation is ACE! I even used it on my 88 yr old nan and it took years off her - a lovely finish.
This foundation was about £28 and the shadow was £12.50, so kind of mid price budget - gonna investigate Smashbox website to see if they do pro discount like Illamasqua do, coz that would be much easier on the pocket
