Pastels are back.

When you're feeling a little unsure, pastels are a sure-fire way to achieve a gorgeous makeup look without forcing you to stand out, and recently, Claudia, Kylie and Scarlett have been sporting pastel eyes.

Try No7 Petal Eye Palette - Sweep the pale pink over your socket, and highlight with the pale green. If you do want to stand out, draw a thin line on both the top and bottom lid and finish with a little brown mascara.

To stay on trend, slick on some shimmery lipstick like Rimmel Rich Moisture Cream in whichever colour suits you. Personally, we love Paradise.

Splurge of the day.

I went for a trip round Manchester today with a friend and we went into House of Fraser and had a look round the makeup counters, deciding we'd ask around for makeover prices.Whilst MAC's makeovers cost £25, Benefit's came in at absolutely nothing.The lovely counter girl made my skin smoother, softer and much better looking and I decided to buy one of the products used.I chose 'YouRebel lite.' It's a tinted moisturiser and comes in at £19.50 or $30.Bit of splurge but oh, so worth it.I balanced out the big spend and got 2 little eyeshadow duos from Natural Collection, it's not the most amazing makeup, but it's nice for daytime wear.I bought Cocoa/Strawberry and Apple/Frost (£1.99 each)
