Hello my beautiful readers, how are you all doing today? Now I know that I said my next post was going to be a haul but when I saw these pictures on instagram I thought I have to do a coming soon post on these.  Now as a lot of probably know IMATS (International Makeup Artist Trade Show) LA took place this past weekend and at this years IMATS Sugarpill annouced that they are releasing some new chromalust eyeshadows. As you can see from the picture above there are going to be 9 new eyeshadows in the shades Penelope, Clickbait, Mints Soda, Holy Ghost, Grand Tiara, Hug Life, Countess, Charmy and Strangeling.

Hello my beautiful friends, I hope you are all having a lovely Friday. A few days ago I found out that Hourglass are going to be releasing 7 new eyeshadow palettes so I thought to myself I should share these details with you all.  Each of the palettes is going to contain 5 eyeshadows and will have a mixture of shimmer and matte shadows. From the picture's that I have seen the palette style is exactly same as the Ambient Lighting and Ambient Lighting Blush palette, the price of eyeshadow palettes is also the same as the Ambient Lighting palettes, $58.   The palette's... . Atmosphere (cool neutrals) Color Field (olive tone) Exposure (plum shades) Graphite (smokey shades) Infinity (warm neutral shades) Monochrome (rose tones) Obscura (earth tones) At the moment I do not know when these will be available in the UK but they are currently available on the Sephora website to VIB members.  Will you be purchasing a...

Hello my beautiful reader's, I hope you have all had a very lovely weekend. For today's post I thought I would share with you some of the photographs that I took at a fireworks display on Bonfire Night (5th November).  Before you look at the photo's I just wanted to say that this was the very first time that I used my new DSLR camera, the Canon 70D so the photos aren't exactly the best but despite that I still wanted to show them to you because who doesn't love pretty fireworks.  I also took some video footage at the display so I have decided to include it in this blog post too.  That's it for today's post and thank you very much for reading the ramblings of A Chronically Beautiful Girl. If you went to a Bonfire or Fireworks display on Wednesday I hope you all had a great time and stayed safe, until my next post remember to stay happy and positive. J ust because you have a chronic il...

Hello my beautiful readers, how has weekend been? Today I have decided to do a Shoe Lust Sunday post because I have seen the most gorgeous pair of shoes on the Schuh website.  So the shoes that I have been lusting over this week are the Irregular Choice Gold Iced Gem Abigail ankle lace boots, which are exclusive to Schuh. If you have never heard of Irregular Choice (which I am sure you have) they are UK company that was created by Dan Sullivan in 1999. Dan was getting sick of seeing neutral shoes so decided to create a shoe brand that was bright, colourful and  unique.  This pair of boots comes in UK sizes 3-8, they have gold satin laces, the height of the heels are 10.5cm and they cost £90.  If gold is not your colour then there is two other colour's that you can purchase, Stone and Black and Silver. Black and Silver Stone What do you think of these shoes? I personally think that they are pretty darn cute and...

As you can see by the large bold writing I am super duper excited about this palette.
