BRIGHT Face of the Day with OCC Anime and La Femme products


I've been meaning to try the OCC Lip Tars for ages; since IMATS last year when UK bloggers first really started raving about them. While buying some La Femme eyeshadows and a blush from www.cocktailcosmetics.co.uk (Lipglossiping made me do it) I finally picked up one in Anime, bright pink.

I think Anime breaks my camera, because it's actually even brighter than this in real life. It's an absolutely shocking bright, bright pink, and I love it.
The eye make up is quite simple; La Femme eyeshadows in Nude as a base, Beige Pink on my lid, Taupe in the crease and Emerald with Illamasqua Sealing Gel to line the upper lid. 
I'm also wearing La Femme blush in Satin Rose, a shimmering cool pink. 

Eyeshadows:
Blush
The La Femme blush and eyeshadows are £2.95 each, and are excellent quality, particularly for the price. They are a bit loosely pressed so you do get some dusty fall-out on the pan when you pick up colour with a brush (like the Sleek I-Divine palettes) but at £3 each it's a minor (and tolerable) quibble.

Quite a few of the La Femme colours have gone out of stock since I bought mine (blame Lipglossiping!) but they should be getting them back in stock quite quickly and it's worth keeping an eye on the Cocktail Cosmetics website. I bought a few other colours I'll show in another post soon with some swatches of all of them.

  1. Oh this is the perfect look for spring. I love that lip colour! The La Femme blushes have been in the back of my mind for a while now, but I'm trying to use up some of my stash before I purchase another.
    The green is a gorgeous touch :)

  3. Love the entire look and so brilliant to see you with a splash of color on your lovely eyes!
    I ***wish*** I had the courage to even try a lip color that bright! It's smashing on you though. I have a few La femme things- I need to go search for those x jeanie

  4. Anime looks fabulous on you! I love insanely bright colours, but I am not brave enough to wear them often (on my lips). This reminds me to get out the Lip Tars I have and use them!

  8. I love that look! You wear bright pinks so well. My interest was piqued with those La Femme blushers the other day too, they're such a great price for a bit of something different. I'll have to have a look and see if the ones I fancied have sold out!

  9. Anime really suits you - looks lovely on. Do you find it to be drying on at all or is it quite moisturising?x

  12. I love bright pink lipsticks on you and I really wish that the OCC lip tars were available in samples - the colours just look so bright and I'm scared I might pick the wrong shade for my colouring based only on the coloured dots on the website. But the La Femme blushes and eyeshadows are definitely on my WL now. x Klara
