since the release of the MAC shop cook collection I've had my eye on this
shade, and it's since been added to the core collection so it must be doing
something right!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">It's
described as 'A Bright Pink Orange' though I find it does tend to differ slightly
depending on the light. Swatched it looks very orange, in the bullet seems
almost red, while on the lips it seems much pinker.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

it might seem quite full on, I’ve found myself reaching for it a lot recently

<span style="font-size: x-large;">M</span>y goodness, over 4 weeks I've been away from blogging! 4 weeks! Though I
could bore you all with excuses, the fact of the matter is that I've just
been very very busy and when I've found a spare few moments I just haven't
really felt inspired to post. I didn't want to churn out posts I wasn't happy with and though I've missed it, I did need a bit of a
break from the procrastination platform that is my blog.<br />
So, in the past 26 days I've finished/ handed in all coursework for my final
year, finished my A level art exam and turned 18! I also have exams coming up in the next few weeks, as I'm sure many of you do too, so good luck!<br />
As you can see, I'm blogging from my patio today as the weather is <strong>beautiful</strong>! I'm
hoping to get a few posts out today as I'm feeling very motivated sat here in
the sunshine! Hope you're all very well my lovely lovelies and hello to you new
followers :)<br />Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18073400074976794442noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932909508253797631.post-22387935288595296212012-04-25T07:07:00.000-07:002012-04-25T07:07:54.453-07:00Happy birthday little blog :)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">W</span>ell well well, Uglily is one year old today! It's exactly a year since I published my first rambly post with low expectations. So what's changed? The overall appearence of Uglily is pretty much the same though I <strike>think</strike> hope the content has improved in quality. In the twelve short months I've been blogging I've put up a total 80 posts, gained nearly 400 of you lovelies and had over 9,000 page views, for some, it may seem insignificant but considering I never thought anyone would want to read what I have to say, I think thats pretty darn good going :) <br />
<br />
So for each and everyone of you who has read, followed, or even just left a lovely comment I just want to say a big thank you, I really appreciate every kind word and click of a mouse.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">P</span>ossibly the latest favourites post ever?! Spent the past couple of days desperately trying to finish any work I was given to complete over the holidays (I'm not alone, right?) But I'm back, with a slightly boring selection of favourites and a pile of posts to publish! :)<br />
<br />
I rediscovered my Revlon colorstay this month. Well, I say rediscovered, I was never really its biggest fan! I have the shade Ivory, which I was told was the lightest shade (still believe this to be true) I remember swatching in Boots before I bought and it seemed the perfect shade. On getting it home, I believed it was far too pink-toned for my skin and never seemed to look right and it has sat on my foundation shelf, unloved ever since. I have no idea what made me pick this up this month, but either my skin tone has changed, or the foundation has, because now it seems the perfect shade! On reflection, that was a year or so ago and I think my knowledge of foundation and how to apply has increased. Either way, I've been wearing this quite a lot recently, mainly for work as it does have great staying power.<br />
<br />
Vie revitalising cleanser is an old favourite. It's a thick, pearlescent mousse texture, even the tiniest amount foams up hugely to a really rich lather. Even though it's gentle it still feels like its cleaning deep down. Leaves my skin soft, squeaky clean and glowy.<br />
<br />I've really got back into liquid liner this month, opting for a feline flick on the outer corners... I used to do this daily a few years back, don't really know why I stopped. Laziness I guess! Anyho I went to pick up an old favourite of mine, Collection 2000 fast stroke. Unfortunately it was sold out so I took a £2 gamble and picked up the 2True 'ultimate liner' and it payed off! It's got a shaped, spongy type of applicator which I find much easier to apply than the brush ones. It's also matte, which I love. I know many bloggers rave about the L'Oreal carbon gloss liner, but I really don't like the sheen it leaves once dry. Taking that, and the price difference into consideration, 2True all the way!<br />
<br />A month of rekindling forgotten products for me! What have been your recent favourites?Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18073400074976794442noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932909508253797631.post-66007265300736958152012-04-06T01:28:00.000-07:002012-04-06T01:28:56.306-07:00peace is for everyone<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">H</span>ello lovelies!
I hope you're all well and enjoying your holiday/ 4 day weekend. I feel like
I haven't blogged properly in ages, I've just been so busy and this week has flown by! I've got a few posts lined up
and thought I'd pop up a face of the day, today. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Didn't feel like showing off
the freckles today to opted for colorstay, continuing the liquid liner routine
and mirror shine lipstick in 'peace'. I picked a few up yesterday (thank you
Boots 3 for 2) and I love them! Particularly this shade, it's brighter and more
vivid in person and the formula is amazing (reviews/ swatches soon!)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm off shopping and out for lunch with my mum and sister (in the sunshine, perhaps? The
snow has now gone!) Happy to be back to normal spring
weather :)</div>

This is what I wore yesterday for shopping, a catch up and a cheeky Guinness ;) Hope you're all well!Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18073400074976794442noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932909508253797631.post-43207879262964106052012-03-06T12:25:00.002-08:002012-03-06T12:30:04.539-08:00Mama's got a brand new bag<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5gRootwHQsb-u_-RFb5AWuyqJ1HsCzYlbK4VjjLKVghUirFd7cwvO0qUcFV-jZeCOaZ1feuT2XVjsmwsgmGJgvXkop-bAvzUyo0-kEpmm21TyPtUdeoDAMKOi4HCdcSG3VupoLcfDzHRB/s1600/DSCF43751.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5gRootwHQsb-u_-RFb5AWuyqJ1HsCzYlbK4VjjLKVghUirFd7cwvO0qUcFV-jZeCOaZ1feuT2XVjsmwsgmGJgvXkop-bAvzUyo0-kEpmm21TyPtUdeoDAMKOi4HCdcSG3VupoLcfDzHRB/s640/DSCF43751.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg77gt5li_rfSlkpOGV6U7CrGV3j62qfniXVqMJwl5_fKO7SRBCgi9TUFJ_1RsEcV1j9ntu1oeiOnPTbRRp2g-zsrv4Ki9uwrGnrciF-P0Il17F9YUvun-H4ByjQJERsbliFQ3ZJtoGiUQh/s1600/DSCF43761.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg77gt5li_rfSlkpOGV6U7CrGV3j62qfniXVqMJwl5_fKO7SRBCgi9TUFJ_1RsEcV1j9ntu1oeiOnPTbRRp2g-zsrv4Ki9uwrGnrciF-P0Il17F9YUvun-H4ByjQJERsbliFQ3ZJtoGiUQh/s640/DSCF43761.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhynpac8-ShGr3Yl9Y-yAKaYRkVkF96EbVRtM8thkA9-PSidSu7r59TB6KFTtDqV39_4pU1Wjn_fK5cGuotlXndbGqQwYlXIZYzzJ6vUoFldHxsKlqFoBYeu3V7v4g2Tk1GZMBaephznKB_/s1600/DSCF43771.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhynpac8-ShGr3Yl9Y-yAKaYRkVkF96EbVRtM8thkA9-PSidSu7r59TB6KFTtDqV39_4pU1Wjn_fK5cGuotlXndbGqQwYlXIZYzzJ6vUoFldHxsKlqFoBYeu3V7v4g2Tk1GZMBaephznKB_/s640/DSCF43771.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoUnK1snBsBxTs_tSYEINHvcHRla9T81rk-mOb2GofmtQnJ6d9XaTru4KzmqMoear69WV7Nj8dpBztldB6Kyzmx5VSIoQ_aHu21wTdOfVc0WWM7NYENIm3_M6H-086wPNYYjnnRw7NhbWo/s1600/DSCF43621.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoUnK1snBsBxTs_tSYEINHvcHRla9T81rk-mOb2GofmtQnJ6d9XaTru4KzmqMoear69WV7Nj8dpBztldB6Kyzmx5VSIoQ_aHu21wTdOfVc0WWM7NYENIm3_M6H-086wPNYYjnnRw7NhbWo/s640/DSCF43621.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsfUcIe2i3EJ3OqXkIWhrcXd_1hJOcVuNfi-8g9XaGm3vUclCZgpb6v3UPSZUjQn_K6jjeZBORlmRJKuMxVM6qpeFbvUN1cFcrt4OcCNGSliMGIHgPXWUSPLNP0IMEuFxwA27oJ0hzUs9h/s1600/DSCF43781.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsfUcIe2i3EJ3OqXkIWhrcXd_1hJOcVuNfi-8g9XaGm3vUclCZgpb6v3UPSZUjQn_K6jjeZBORlmRJKuMxVM6qpeFbvUN1cFcrt4OcCNGSliMGIHgPXWUSPLNP0IMEuFxwA27oJ0hzUs9h/s640/DSCF43781.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfZ2xIwMWwmNA7leKiJ3zl9mOJT7Rbj1Qyq0Tm5Y6AmwB-wVQ0Z93URiG7ZSsE33lwa2XJ13iYOqjtKoSqEp2avBQD3-4tVP7vsR7e7tdIBpesNl9jUNxIy3KgpGrpVnXkHBHjCjsRyY_U/s1600/DSCF43821.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfZ2xIwMWwmNA7leKiJ3zl9mOJT7Rbj1Qyq0Tm5Y6AmwB-wVQ0Z93URiG7ZSsE33lwa2XJ13iYOqjtKoSqEp2avBQD3-4tVP7vsR7e7tdIBpesNl9jUNxIy3KgpGrpVnXkHBHjCjsRyY_U/s640/DSCF43821.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #666666;">Zara Plaited Leather Shopper: £79.99</span></span></span></div><br />
(Sorry about all the photos, I got a bit click-happy!) <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">W</span>hilst shopping on Sunday I wandered into Zara for a browse and before I knew what was happening, I was paying at the till. I featured it in my latest wishlist and since then, I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. It's quite a bit of money but lovely quality. The bag is leather with a removable shoulder strap and linen zippy pouch. It is <strike>quite sizable</strike> <em>huge</em> - making it perfect for school/ 6th form/ uni, train journeys or even throwing things in for an overnight stay. I personally just love a big bag as I tend to carry round everything bar the kitchen sink around with me! I tend look upon bags as an investment, something durable that will last me 'till I'm old and grey. I think it's quite timeless too, a real bag for life :)<br />
<br />
So what do we reckon lovelies? When it comes bags, do you prefer quality or quantity?Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18073400074976794442noreply@blogger.com27tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932909508253797631.post-61301832983362926292012-03-04T10:09:00.001-08:002012-03-04T14:22:28.263-08:00Sunday morning rain is falling<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjmg4XXRw0kGAUGIbW-S8N2j4qtwnyH_y4gXUBymzD7Vc2O33VKmKtpZur_nx8SSWAcJ3XQjO_hF6ahH9W23bYWjZKr3X1jDuWyw_SEq3_hMiSIKbXyIRg7i9eXlidhzahFZ7_KklAWT6M/s1600/DSCF431712.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjmg4XXRw0kGAUGIbW-S8N2j4qtwnyH_y4gXUBymzD7Vc2O33VKmKtpZur_nx8SSWAcJ3XQjO_hF6ahH9W23bYWjZKr3X1jDuWyw_SEq3_hMiSIKbXyIRg7i9eXlidhzahFZ7_KklAWT6M/s640/DSCF431712.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #666666;">Face: <strong>Estée Lauder Double Wear/ Bourjois Healthy Mix/ Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer </strong><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #6a6a6a; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>| <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #6a6a6a; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="color: #666666;">Eyes: <strong>2True Waterproof eye liner/ Natural Collection Lashbuild mascara </strong><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #6a6a6a; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>| Lips</span></span></span></span>: <strong>Natural Collection moisture shine lipstick 'Crimson'</strong></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">T</span>he Elf professional blending eye brush is a small, synthetic, domed fluffy brush with a completely round ferrule meaning the hair of the brush is movable, flexible and perfect for its main purpose - a whole lotta blending.<br />
I use it primarily for crease/ contouring and general blending out as it's the perfect size and density for it. However I've also used it for blending concealer both under the eye and on the odd blemish.<br />
I haven't noticed any shedding but I am yet to wash it. So far the shape has stayed beautifully even after some heavy duty smokey eyes.<br />
I've been clicking round the blogosphere and I’d say it's somewhere in between the MAC 217 and 226. I am by no way suggesting this is anywhere near the same quality/ league of brush as those of MAC but I am very pleasantly surprised with the quality of such a cheap brush and would definitely recommend this brush if you're on a budget. (Or like me, you just don’t feel the need to splash out on a brush of that price) <br />
I've heard a few criticisms of elf's lack of consistency with their products; such as them varying in quality, shape, size, etc... I have yet to experience this, or any problems with elf's products but I would keep it in mind when purchasing. There does seem to be a slight variant between the size/ length of the bristles but it is so slight I doubt you would find it that noticeable or a major difference in how the brush works.<br />
I’ve found this a really great multifunctional brush, I currently have two, but I can see me picking up many more in the future (and at £1.50, why the hell not?) There is also a blending brush in the elf mineral range which I'd love to try out as I’m sure it’ll come in just as useful. <br />
This was purchased along with a few others, as my first brushes from elf and as far as I’m concerned, I think the pros outweigh the cons and if in doubt - consult the price tag!<br />

</div><span style="font-size: x-large;">I</span> would say Pink Cloud is a matte true pink, perfect for everyday as it barely requires any blending - perfect for applying in a rush or on the go. It's a really soft, silky texture but it could come across chalky if too much product is picked up or applied. It's not hugely pigmented but a surprising amount is picked up on brushes, just enough to give a lovely fresh flush to the cheeks. I found it lasts a reasonable amount of time (good few hours), but I have normal/ combination skin so don't usually find that blushes slide anyway. The packaging for me is decent for the price. It doesn't feel too flimsy and is just the right size for popping in your makeup bag.<br />
As someone who most days, skips the blush, I personally just don't feel the need to splash out on high end blushes. However, I definitely plan to pick up more shades as they are so affordable and do have some really lovely shades.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">L</span>ong time no blog, beauts! So a week or so ago, elf had a free shipping code, I jumped on the opportunity as I've been meaning to order a few brushes from them for agesss. Along with the free shipping, you received a 'free goodie bag' if you spent over a tenner (not a problem elf, not at all). Anyho, I thought I'd show you what I picked up and my first impressions. I intend to review brushes individually once I've had a chance to use them and develop a bit more of an opinion, so look out for that!<br />
<br />
First off, the infamous <strong>Studio Powder Brush</strong>! I've been meaning to pick it up for ages because of the raving reviews all over the place. I'm surprised at how well made it is. It's quite heavy duty and feels pretty good quality. Super soft, super dense, super nice :)<br />
<br />
The <strong>Blending Eye Brush</strong> is perhaps my favourite from the haul. I picked up two as I'm always in need of a blending brush and can never find a clean one. Also thought it would be good for concealer. They're really soft and fluffy, perfect for the job in hand.<br />
<br />
I don't really know what made me pick the<strong> Defining Eye Brush</strong>... I just thought it looked quite useful, I'll probably use it for blending out eyeliner on the upper lash line, contouring or for taking eye shadow under the eye.<br />
<br />
The <strong>Eye Shadow Brush</strong> is pretty self explanatory, but I was a little disappointed when it came out of the packaging in two pieces... I guess I could contact elf, but for the sake of £1.50, I think I’ll just crack out the superglue. <br />
<br />
I picked up the <strong>Concealer Brush </strong>to use as a lip brush and it's perfect. A little smaller than I was expecting but will be great for creating the perfect red lips.<br />
<br />
<strong>Then for the freebies...</strong><br />
<br />
The <strong>Travel Mirror</strong>... I'm not going to lie, I think this is horrendously tacky, never would of picked it and it will most likely end up in the bin. But it was technically free, you can't have everything can you?<br />
<br />
<strong>Shimmer Pencil 7607 Twinkle Teal</strong>. Again, I wouldn't have picked it but it might come in handy one day.<br />
<br />
I was über surprised by the polishes I was sent. I'll admit, I was expecting the reject polishes no one buys and elf want to get rid of, but I actually love these shades and would have picked them out myself. (<strong>1573 Twinkle, 1570 Metal Madness</strong>)<br />
<br />
The delivery time was pretty good to say I didn't pay anything for it. (I think it was about 4 working days.) And the best thing about elf? I got all this for £11.Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18073400074976794442noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932909508253797631.post-36583118226814178152012-02-05T11:58:00.000-08:002012-02-05T14:11:09.146-08:00My Sunday in a nutshell<span style="font-size: x-large;">H</span>ey sweets, hope you're all well! Haven't done a rambly sort of post in a while... Don't know if you enjoy reading them, but I enjoy writing them. I like looking back at what I've done previous weeks/ months. So m'loves, bit of an update for you... <br />
<br />
<strong>001</strong> Haven't been blogging as frequently the past few weeks due to lack of energy, this freezing weather's been draining meeee.<br />
<strong>002</strong> I've been also been snowed under this weekend (metaphorically and literally) I've had so much 6th form work to do and I'm currently snowed in! Even as I type tiny flakes are starting to fall again - At least I'm nice and cosy! <br />
<strong>003</strong> It's making me really look forward to summer though; I'm planning to go to Benicassim festival if I manage to get some tickets. Have any of you been? <br />
<strong>004</strong> My beloved scooter is currently in for repairs so I've had to take two long bus rides to get to classes. Still, It's given me reason to update my iPod - Birdy's album is beaut, I've also been loving quite a few Drake songs.<br />
<strong>005</strong> I've also been looking for a new job as I'm not that happy where I am and feel it's time for a change. I'm so fed up of filling out applications, it's scrambling my brain!<br />
<strong>006</strong> Also started tweeting constantly so <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/HeyLils">follow</a> if you fancy a giggle at my expense :)<br />
<br />
What have you all been up to this weekend? Have you had much snow? Oh and for those of you that are interested I finished my latest canvas around 2am Tuesday mornin'<br />

I found this christmas cookie Yankee Candle in the midst of the house of frazer sale. I wanted the medium sized one but they were all sold out, still, I think I only payed about £4 for this. It's a lovely, buttery, vanilla scent... I'd have it burning 24/7 but I don't want it to run out!<br />

Revlon black cherry is such a gorgeous wintery, vampy shade I've been wearing it consistently. Swatches and review <a href="http://ug-lily.blogspot.com/2011/12/revlon-black-cherry.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
With the arctic temperature's we've been having recently, my hands have been really dry and chapped. I received this in a gift set at Christmas and it's been a complete saviour! It's really, really moisturising, you only need a tiny amount, it disappears so fast (leaving your hands baby soft!) and is not greasy at all. I also feel like it does noticeably strengthen my nails too.<br />
<br />
My mum used Olay beauty fluid while I was growing up so I find the smell really comforting. Emotional attachment aside, it's an amazing product and I can see why it's been around for so long. It's really light and absorbs really quickly meaning it's a great base for makeup. Regardless of its lightweight nature it's still insanely moisturing but again, not too greasy, just right!<br />
<br />
My apologies for yet another Vaseline favourite! But seriously, crème br<span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">û</span>lée + Vaseline = pure genius.<br />
