The Best Of February

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Well, I meant to write this post for Friday, but will with all the upset of loosing my little Mindycat, I took a day away from my laptop. I'm sure you won't mind.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">February was a proud blog month for me. I challenged myself to upload a post every single weekday and I succeeded. I wasn't exactly a breeze but I really enjoyed getting stuck in and am pleased with the content I produced. Look at me being all self praising! Haha. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm reluctant to challenge myself to do this throughout March as I know I have a LOT on in the next 4 weeks but I'm going to give it a while. In for a penny, in for a pound as they say...whatever that actually means!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So, before it's too late, let's reflect on the great month that we just had and tomorrow we'll be looking forward to the next one. Smooooth.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Urban Decay Spring Collection 2013 Naked Flushed" border="0" height="427" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqzv4tcJ1U9Tisnof8E1OAMZeqEhsn4QKLFr2V1GBjUkAXs9MQcsw_6IiarAi4m5G0e2KNFokd0ZEdO9pmllXevkQHwsmGwwxZw-A42aBkaW3pAdPvlwam5UmdWLUMIu1Sh7igPek7w6rs/s640/ud4.jpg" title="Urban Decay Spring Collection 2013 Naked Flushed" width="640" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">We kicked off February with <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/urban-decay-spring-collection-2013.html" target="_blank">THIS</a> post, oohing and arring over the latest offerings from Urban Decay. The above palette is the Naked Blush Trio, the sister product the the Naked Eyeshadow. I'm crossing my fingers for more from this range. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Illamasqua Imperfection" border="0" height="411" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0zcq_RcUWv4kHKZ_Ytq4UA_jqrVm9pp8SPkZNVP2S3am0Hiq08Mjvf1LGKSZd9zOvpoUQ97968UJFVsj8TSGhzTCUq5_fjuuLFDV-eyelk89vM4LAgpawcGo2e4EKdvaLkIY80rRRm1A3/s640/Illamasqua+Imperfection2.jpg" title="Illamasqua Imperfection" width="640" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Still in total makeup junkie mode (when am I not in this mode?!) I told you all about <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/illamasqua-imperfection.html" target="_blank">THIS</a> amazing Illamasqua Event I had attended and we talked about speckled nails. Last month I also saw that L'Oreal are continuing with the speckled nail trend so I suspect this will be something we see a lot of in the months to come. Exciting to have something new. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Handmade Valentine Card by Toddler/Baby | Sprinkle of Glitter " border="0" height="430" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsulgWZv6FZuxyUb6KP9F-n6gpW8ptprUq5ADnAUncEv_zgN3uIqQUJ0012RVUEiwAYO7dCZjmwNDpzP7Vtl0_Iv1KB5eAJBMqSuGm9vBMSsSONxlWhkw1oSYk0-CJylOuQTLKdiOXwLdl/s640/ValCard1.jpg" title="Handmade Valentine Card by Toddler/Baby | Sprinkle of Glitter " width="640" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">In week two, as well as having a long overdue blog redesign from Blogger/Author/Designer <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/wonder-forest-wonder-girl.html" target="_blank">WonderForest</a>, I talked about spending quality time with Darcy and making <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/my-tiny-valentine.html" target="_blank">THESE </a>oh so cute Valentine Cards for our family. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Sprinkle of Glitter Makeup FOTD" border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG9S1skBYoIAfPjAKD377MXEDjH0xamdP4mESBs1_SZA1-C4cySyT9nCabUzPiJVDkOemG69ZgxFRZYMlO-uGzg9Mjmwb8neQKPXVZl3_96Wnt4bzK8TVu8GPiul3S6jtG6vL-cWnLPcjr/s640/FOTD.jpg" title="Sprinkle of Glitter Makeup FOTD" width="640" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">In that same week, I uploaded <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/happy-wife-fotd.html" target="_blank">THIS</a> Happy Wife FOTD and took a new approach to photographing products - grouping! I by far and above prefer this method and think I will keep it up in the future. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Cloud Nine Giveaway | Free Irons | Free hair styler" border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkXTeFGWmKT6Q5rOAWogZ5rXTxplanX0sJzYnaOqF-9o4PBNPqeostaOQwkm9hso9OzjdyzppA-Psb-XOHFljbGzRvOHfD4lC3H79PuPSTE98f-DOJHuWvfX371FCxa8xndORuE30PuKQ7/s640/C9Giveaway.jpg" title="Cloud Nine Giveaway | Free Irons | Free hair styler" width="640" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">February's giveaway was for a pair of Cloud Nine Stylers (won't link it as this giveaway is now closed). I was thrilled with your enthusiasm and may try and do a few more of these sorts of things. I'm quite fortunate in that I am offered to do giveaways by a lot of brands but I only really do them if the prizes excite me or I think they are extra special. Shall I do more? You decide.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="634" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj29P62iW5CftYV-6HPg1Oa_-fTxa7X4jllfEglatvO79krLynpBtZaRL0MLQbvRw33vim0DVjrPrKGWRMZ1lkwgH0IixJtCXSMwTvsWIb5n-FQDVqEaBs0gYpkLdpr1pu98iyxtlMFcncT/s640/Baby+Style1.jpg" width="640" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">February was the month that I launched <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/baby-style-spy-mac-and-studs.html" target="_blank">THIS</a> new feature- Baby Style. If Darcy will stand still for 2 minutes and I can get a decent snap, you'll see a lot more of this kind of thing! After <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/baby-glitter-haul.html" target="_blank">THIS</a> insane clothes haul, I think I've got enough clothes! Haha.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="How to colour glass jars" border="0" height="634" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnqkXom7NNs6iEvtaRFTiFc9u_GijEJErw2LxQvfLiXzc-287nLBWmGFwPEaW8PNnTRwpVSXk1UKgs9uagkz_VRL6PdZpdJJhk7kG5x4kK9U1MTMdR-Gafbrvtc8A0TrE18j2bMoioRSwP/s640/colouredjars3.jpg" title="How to colour glass jars" width="640" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">In the final week of the month, we had <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/how-to-colour-glass-jars.html" target="_blank">THIS</a> good old fashioned DIY post. As always, it was easy and affordable as I think that's what makes projects most appealing! All too often I have given up on things when they were too complex (I'm looking at you 'easy sew nappy bag') and felt frustrated and out of pocket (yeah, still you 'easy sew nappy bag. Grrrr). If your repins on <a href="http://pinterest.com/louiseglitter/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> were anything to go by, this DIY tutorial was a hit. Woot woot.  </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Cat and Baby Photography" border="0" height="386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkzPPO72ZanFhHU6FAYXQjJ2Y_rlTS_YPkh6Jl0oXMaIyrMOrFtKOmTWQ_8GLqGrnpuUdkSjkZt3I_q3vBb6SM_awADUlvOykLQOL-5M10-htylpeXpUSerAg5TsJP-_yNi6fGrTUBk6Sr/s640/Darcy+and+Mindy.jpg" title="Cat and Baby Photography" width="640" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">And then finally, at the very end of a brilliant month, there was the very sad news of my wonderful kitty going up to heaven. She is buried in my back garden (I paid extra for the vet to come out to our house and leave her body- well worth the expense if you are ever in this awful position as the animal is a LOT calmer) and I imagine that she is up in heaven with my Mum and Gran and her kitty Mum and any brothers and sisters she might have had. She had a good life. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">-------------- <span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><b>♥ </b></span>--------------</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So a busy month! On top of all of those highlights (and the low light), were my regular posts like <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/amazing-advertisers-february-2013.html" target="_blank">Amazing Advertisers</a>, <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/bedroom-beauty-challenge-february.html" target="_blank">Bedroom Beauty Challenge</a> and four <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/motivational-monday-4.html" target="_blank">Motivational Mondays</a> (I think my favourite posts to write).  </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Is there anything specific you'd like to see in March?

Illamasqua I'mperfection

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,<br /><br />Along with some of my glamorous blogging chums, last week I attended the launch event for <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/collections/imperfection/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Illamasqua's new collection</a> :: Imperfection. As Alex Box, Illamasqua's Creative Director, cleverly pointed out that the word 'imperfection' can be 'I'm Perfection'.  With this inspiration, a new collection was born.  </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0zcq_RcUWv4kHKZ_Ytq4UA_jqrVm9pp8SPkZNVP2S3am0Hiq08Mjvf1LGKSZd9zOvpoUQ97968UJFVsj8TSGhzTCUq5_fjuuLFDV-eyelk89vM4LAgpawcGo2e4EKdvaLkIY80rRRm1A3/s1600/Illamasqua+Imperfection2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Illamasqua Imperfection" border="0" height="411" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0zcq_RcUWv4kHKZ_Ytq4UA_jqrVm9pp8SPkZNVP2S3am0Hiq08Mjvf1LGKSZd9zOvpoUQ97968UJFVsj8TSGhzTCUq5_fjuuLFDV-eyelk89vM4LAgpawcGo2e4EKdvaLkIY80rRRm1A3/s640/Illamasqua+Imperfection2.jpg" title="Illamasqua Imperfection" width="640" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The new collection boasts 5 limited edition nail varnishes (£14.50 each), created by Product Developer David Horne. Side note :: Having spent a day with David at the Illamasqua Master Class, I can honestly say he is one of the most interesting and charismatic men I have ever met. You know that fun game people sometimes play where you have to choose the ultimate ten dinner party guests (and everyone always seems to pick Stephen Fry)? Well I'd pick David as one of mine. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Back on topic, David took his inspiration for these varnishes from nature, which is incredibly beautiful yet incredibly flawed. You know how little birdie eggs have that gorgeous speckled effect, well that's what these polishes are. Egg speckles. I LOVE that! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">With two sizes of glitter flecks, what I found most interesting was that the glitter was matte (so we can question whether this really is glitter<i>- I'm a glitter freak</i>) so the 'speckled' effect really is as true as it could be. Saying that, wouldn't it be huh-mazing if real bird eggs were speckled with glitter? Oh my!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLcdSsuPuL9pgLuv0sUYaEZfRQs5hf1yowkxjbEFBtI5TKd7gpkcxmSbI6CLlw1y773IBdZNg4hp3N4mx58SOR8dSim-uwAffnJiXnUccqyGVecjaF3EWRzYOcMKu7I2VYp03f_nZQJiBR/s1600/Illamasqua+Blusher.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Illamasqua Imperfection" border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLcdSsuPuL9pgLuv0sUYaEZfRQs5hf1yowkxjbEFBtI5TKd7gpkcxmSbI6CLlw1y773IBdZNg4hp3N4mx58SOR8dSim-uwAffnJiXnUccqyGVecjaF3EWRzYOcMKu7I2VYp03f_nZQJiBR/s640/Illamasqua+Blusher.jpg" title="Illamasqua Imperfection" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">As well as 5 nail polishes, 2 eye products (speckled liners) and 2 lip products (intense lipgloss in green and girlie lipstick in pick-featured above), Illasmasqua have launched 3 new blush duos and a innovative new makeup brush.<br /><br />The idea is to place the product loaded brush with the tips pointing toward your nostril and upper ear, under your cheek bone and flick/push upwards towards (but not to) your eye. This method, unlike the conventional swirls on the apples of your cheeks, is designed to create a soft oval hue on the cheek bone. You can continue applying blush in this method to create a more dramatic effect too. What I have always loved about Illamasqua powders is that they really are easy to blend, so building colour is a doddle.<br /><br />Naturally, I would have been grateful for any product that was in a goody bag, but when I saw I had been given 'Lover & Hussy' I was pleased as punch because girly pinks and sweet corals are right up my alley!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Illamasqua Imperfection" height="640" src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/cd4743c8a36a1a301eb694f3298229c8/tumblr_mhaqnhzwCi1ri30i6o1_1280.jpg" title="Illamasqua Imperfection" width="640" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(A few quick snaps from the event- it was too pretty to waste)</i></span><br /><br />Illamasqua is a brand that strives and succeeds in pushing limits. It challenges stereotypes and questions the status quo. Some of it's products are a little outlandish for me but more often than not, I fall a little bit in love with them (I'm on my third pot of Beguile for goodness sake!). I love this collection not just for the pretty pastels and easy to wear blushers, but for the ethos behind it and the idea that acceptance of our natural selves is true beauty, it is perfection.<br /><br />What stands out for you in this collection? Are you in love with the concept too?<br /><br /><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://twitter.com/Sprinkleofglitr" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945;" target="_blank">Twitter</a> | <a href="http://www.youtube.com/sprinkleofglitter" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945;" target="_blank">YouTube</a> | <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sprinkleofglitter?ref=hl" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945;" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="http://pinterest.com/babyglitter/" style="color: #6c0945;" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> | <a href="http://www.hellocotton.com/mypage/sprinkle-of-glitter" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945;" target="_blank">Hello Cotton</a> | <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/1918059/sprinkle-of-glitter" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945;" target="_blank">Bloglovin'</a></span></div></div><br /><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">Toodlepip!</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">xx</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This month my Ultimate Advertiser is <a href="http://www.jijikiki.com/newItems.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Ji Ji Kiki</span></a> .

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Those of you who watch my videos may well have noticed that I have been sporting the same sort of look of late. I have found a look that I find quick, easy and suitable for day/night/the lot.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">On Saturday morning, before leaving for the IMATS, I snapped a few quick shots. I never know quite how to pose for facey shots, I know there is a certain blog style but having tried them, I look like a total goon, so I just tried to show you the products like a noooormal person. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUKRS2VzMeSfhdsTeOZv218wM-ybHaGe9aFPQZuaPp6c0wrgYcRdp6uKWADXLOOZMsrZSvc8PAVcTPPkUIbJy6pG3JR8Cu4HiK7O9evz_9C5v_40WzDNpwDPZgo1bHilrvYESuqds-yamv/s1600/IMG_5638.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUKRS2VzMeSfhdsTeOZv218wM-ybHaGe9aFPQZuaPp6c0wrgYcRdp6uKWADXLOOZMsrZSvc8PAVcTPPkUIbJy6pG3JR8Cu4HiK7O9evz_9C5v_40WzDNpwDPZgo1bHilrvYESuqds-yamv/s640/IMG_5638.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGiqtFcD9fTHC8Cz7aW7guno8Ato7maGaOcskew-Ir18rnVStpxuK2VPhmhJUIooAEJ_62wFI9Hw4B2Q46Vu28QSsfQ7KJn4piEaoVqT-EqLYLdW4NwCkHr6a6XMI2hKgMcNS9w0XDKtm8/s1600/IMG_5640.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGiqtFcD9fTHC8Cz7aW7guno8Ato7maGaOcskew-Ir18rnVStpxuK2VPhmhJUIooAEJ_62wFI9Hw4B2Q46Vu28QSsfQ7KJn4piEaoVqT-EqLYLdW4NwCkHr6a6XMI2hKgMcNS9w0XDKtm8/s640/IMG_5640.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><u>Face</u></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Moisturiser- I'm currently trying out a few, reviews to come.</div><div style="text-align: center;">MAC Select Moisturecover Concealer, NW15.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint Foundation, 02 Beige.</div><div style="text-align: center;">MAC MSF, Soft and Gentle.</div><div style="text-align: center;">2True Face and Body Bronzer.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><u>Lips</u></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Boots own brand Strawberry Lip Balm.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Topshop Lipstick, Brighten Rock.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss, Pink Pop.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><u>Eyes</u></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">HD Brow Kit, Vamp.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Illamasqua Pure Pigment, Beguile.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Topshop Eyeliner, Coal.

I can do this entire look in about 10 minutes. If I want to make it a bit more 'night time', I would use more eyeliner and spend longer on my lashes and also use a lipliner to do better lips, but seeing as this was at 7.30am, I was pleased.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Do you have a look that you find yourself going back to again and again?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Toodlepip!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">xx</div>
