Strictly Fabulous 'Salsa Palette' FOTD


Hiya everyone!

A while ago, I promised that I would do FOTDs using my Strictly Fabulous Cosmetic Case. As I already did the Ballroom FOTD a while ago, I'd do the Salsa Palette one now.

I was looking forward to this one because of the brigh matte shades and I wanted to try something à la Liloo who blends all her eyeshadows together fantastically. Whilst I didn't achieve something fantastic like she does, it did end up pretty decent so I took some snaps.



 The thing is, with my eyeshape, the eyeshadows are always hidden unless I have my eyes wide shut, so the full face pictures never show them well.
I tried a few eye shots but they were a bit tricky to do. Speaking of which, how do you all do your eye close ups? If anyone has any tips they'd be willing to share, it'd be much appreciated!


I barely ever post lip close ups cause of my upper lip hair, please ignore it!

It's a shame that my camera sort of muted the colours as this really was a lot brighter in reality. After a while though, the colours sort of blended together and didn't look as bright anymore and just like a mish mash of blues and greens.


And finally, my Crown & Glory rust bobby pin flower thing. I adore this, the colour is just stunning and really makes your hairdo look a lot more interesting!

I'll try and post soon but could be rather difficult as I'm going to my teacher's play tomorrow and getting up at 5.15 on Friday for a reallllyyy exciting trip to Paris. Not even real paris, so it'll be boring as hell!

  1. Ooh, that's gorgeous! You look awesome. And I have to say it, but everytime I read ' Oh La La Maquillage,' I imagine Rihanna singing it a la 'Whats My Name,' like, 'Oh la laa, ma-qui-llage!'

  2. Wow, this is so gorgeous. I love the eyeshadow colours and your kitten liner flick is making me super jealous (mine is messy). Love the lip colour as well...nice and bright.

  5. I love this look! I have the same cosmetics case but it's at home at the moment. Can't wait to play about with it when I'm at home in the summer now!
