Louise Loves #7
I had this week off and I'm so glad, the weather in my area was horrendous on Monday and Tuesday, I would've hated the 40 minute journey driving to college! Next week we start fashion makeup so that should be pretty good, although I'm glad we started with basic it was starting to get rather tedious!
You may have seen this in my Neve Cosmetics swatches post here. I only got this a few days ago but I really like Noblesse and I've been wearing it quite often (although I'm still trying to finish up a crappy Covergirl one which just seems to last forever!!!). I am going out for lunch today - Wagamama, soo excited! - and I'll be wearing it for that :)
[£10.50 from cutECOsmetics]
I actually bought these off my friend Ashleigh for £7 (bargain) as she bought herself "proper" ones and wanted these to go to new home where they would be worn! They are from New Look a good wee while ago. At first they weren't very comfy and the zips were playing up but now I've broken them in and they are pretty much my everyday boots (for when minimal driving is required!). The heel is fine as it is really thick so it's not uncomfortable. I think these were about £20 full price, however as it was age ago they're not available online but I did find these similar ones reduced to the same sort of price.
In case you haven't heard of it, Face Off is a programme on Syfy which takes a group of prosthetic and special effect makeup artists and gives them various challenges to compete against each other. I didn't love it to start with but now I am really enjoying it. Although that is not a side I could see myself doing (it's far too creative and they are all amazing at art!), I do find it really interesting and it might even give me some tips for if I ever need to do anything like that. Face Off is on Syfy on Mondays at 9pm.

Neve Cosmetics: French Royalty Collection Swatches
Neve Cosmetics are an Italian, cruelty free brand. All the products are vegetarian and the majority are vegan. They have a really nice collection of loose and pressed mineral eyeshadows and blushers which can be used wet and dry.
Their most recent collection is called French Royalty and is inspired by the ostentatious pomp of the French courts of the 1700s with a realm of precious stones and metals. All of the products in this collection are vegan and it is made up of 4 eyeshadows, 2 blushers and 2 eye pencils.
You can buy Neve Cosmetics from cutECOsmetics and they have very kindly sent me the eyeshadows and blushers to try out and share with you!
Before we go onto the swatches I just feel I need to warn you about my gross, veiny hands hahah so enjoy that...
Noblesse is "pink brick with lilac satin". I really love this one and have been wearing it quite a lot recently!
Boudoir is a "light peach pink with delicate mauve satin". I haven't tried this one on my face yet as I tend to avoid pinks for some reason but I think the blue/purple duo chrome gives it a really unusual edge.
These are safe for use on lips and the full size (4g) costs £10.50. [link]
Chateau is a "duo chrome brown with hints of mauve and pistachio green". Swatched, this one looks quite similar to Mac Club or Urban Decay Lounge - see here.
Sang Bleu is a "duo chrome with purple and blue highlights". This is a really pretty colour both wet and dry, but wet it is so bold!
Versailles is a "bright and shiny gold with amber undertones". This one applied like a dream! There is not much difference between wet and dry except I think that the wet brings out the yellow/gold colours more.
Collier is "silver with a light grey base, with slight blue satin sheet and glitter". This one really comes alive when wet, all the colours are hugely magnified!
The full size pot (2g) costs £6.50. [link]
I will do a couple of eye makeup looks using these shadows later on, so look out for those :)
