The eyes have it......

'Twas in another lifetime but not quite of toil and blood..... although if you've ever been backstage at a fashion show, well need I say more..... I practised the dark arts of maquillage. These days I like to think the few tricks I learnt in the trade help keep my inner crone at bay but I rarely get worked up about a product ....except when it's an exceptional product.

And so I want to share with you all my new favourite thing: the Surratt smokey eye baton! OK, so here I do need to declare an interest, I know the creator of this line, Troy Surratt, in fact more than that, he has been known to site me as the one who propelled him into the big time but really we need to do that story over a glass or two.

So, back to the baton; it is essentially eye liner and an eye shadow on a stick.....it's all you need to look fabulous. It goes on with ease and stays there, I love it so much I wore smokey eyes to yoga. There a number of other deliciously gorgeous things in his line, currently on sale in Liberty and I plan to try them all, check it out liberty.co.uk/fcp/categorylist/designer/surratt

Now back to the buns and bunnies and chocolate..... happy Easter.

Top tip: a little bit of new make up can go a long way.

  1. I'm strictly just blusher and lippy these days. I can't do eye make up anymore since I needed glasses (even with those flippy up glasses!!) I end up looking ridiculous. I should treat myself to a sesh with a beautician shouldn't I. xxx

  2. Now if they would come up with something to make up for my tremours, so I don't end up looking like KooKoo the Killer Klown!

    I love make-up, but can only use it on lucky days now.

  5. Hello,

    Smokey eye baton......all that is needed to look fabulous. How could one resist? Not us!

    Liberty is a favourite store so this is a wonderful excuse to enter its portals and come out looking like the A list celebrities that Surratt transforms every day. Thank you for the tip but we cannot wait to hear more of the backstage dark arts which you have performed!
