Valentines Day Makeup Look 2015 - Idea No.2

Hi!

Today I'm going to talk you through a look I have created inspired by valentines day. Most of my products are high street so this is really affordable and you can always swap colours/brands for alternative ones. I did my base normally and my eyebrows, my eyebrows are all kinds of messy which I am very sorry about! 

I started on my eyes using the Maybelline Color 24hour tattoo in Pink Gold. I then added my Kiko pigment loose shadow (shade 10) and pressed that all over my eyelid. I then used two Natural Collection Solo Eyeshadows (pictured below) the lighter shade I used in my crease and then added the darker shade for depth and natural contour. Unfortunately when I depotted these I didn't write the colours down anywhere, but these eyeshadows are very pigmented and only £1.99 each.

I used the colour 'nooner' from the Naked 3 palette on the outer V of my eyelid and underneath my waterline then blended it out to create further depth. I wanted to use pink and purple as my base colours as these are the colours I think of around Valentines day, plus I have green eyes so it helps to bring the colour out. I then grabbed this PS. I Love 'Night' palette (which is from Primark) and used the purple to create the final touch. I think this just adds another level of colour and really brings the whole look together. 

I then used the Collection Fast Stroke Eyeliner in black to create a small and thin cat eye. I then applied Eylure Naturalites False Eyelashes and voila!

I then created this lip colour using a Topshop Lip Paint in Reminisce and a Rimmel London Lipstick on 077 Asia. I really like this lip look as it isn't too bright but definitely brings attention to your lips.

I have recently had my hair cut short and I find it really hard to style, but just for ideas I added this cute bandanna. 

I hope you enjoyed this look and thank you for reading,

Topshop Lip Paint Review

Hi, 

Today I'm going to do a review on the Topshop lip paints in the colours Tallulah and Reminisce.  These were something I saw in the sale a few months ago so though I would give them a go, the colours looked nice and they were only a couple of pounds.

I fell in love with the colour Tallulah (the red) straight away as it looked like my kind of red, yknow? Unfortunately the formula wasn't what I was looking for, the colour came out patchy and parts would dry and others wouldn't. The dofer applicator also makes such a bold colour hard to apply as any mistakes will show up. The peachy pink colour, Reminisce, wasn't much different. Although mistakes weren't as visible.

The staying power was short lived and the colour transferred onto everything. Where parts didn't dry hair or fluff would stick.

I really wanted to love these as they were so cute and the packaging was on-the-go worthy, plus I got them for super cheap. Sadly these just didn't work for me but maybe they will work for you.

Thanks for reading,

Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24hr Eyeshadow in Pink Gold Review

Hiya! 

To begin with I'm sorry about how dirty the pot is haha! Anyway other than that I am so very in love with this product. It's a really creamy eyeshadow that I use alone or as a base. It's a really pale pink with a slight sheen, it's really girl and delicate which is why I love it so much. The formula doesn't crease one bit and stays all day! I use this completely alone some days or I also use eyeliner, it just goes well with so much. Not only that but the packaging is very cute yet convenient. It's sturdy with a glass base so you can see the product, however it has a screw n lid too so no spillage or mess. I cannot rave about this product enough and I really want to get more colours. This is in Pink Gold and is subtle enough for everyday and probably even school.

Thanks,

Valentines Day Smoky Eye

Valentines day is all about who you love right? When we say love with think of love hearts and the colour pink, so pink is the colour of today. 

I started by applying Maybelline Color 24hr Tattoo in Pink Gold (£4.99) to the my eyelid as a base. I then grabbed my MUA palette in Undressed (£4) and put shade 2 on the centre of my eyelid to add dimension and shade 1 in the inner corner to highlight.  I then grabbed my Calvin Klein Tempting Glimmer Sheer Creme Eyeshadow in Sage Shimmer (poundland) and applied it to the outer V of my eyelid and down under my lower lash line a little. I blended all of these together to get a subtle edge, you can always add more product if you want a darker smoky eye.

I used the Bourjois Liner Feautre Eyeliner (£6.99) in black and took it a little above my upper lash line, I then took it out and created a small wing to elongate my eyes. I used my Maybelline Volume Express Colossal (£7.19) to create volume to my eyelashes but I decided I wanted more length too. So I used my fake eyelashes from eBay (£1.19) and applied them using Revlon Dark Lash Adhesive  (£5.19) which did the trick. I actually did my eyebrows first but I used an MUA Matte Eyeshadow in Shade 19 (£1) . 

I really like how this look came out and it's super girly. This would be something I would wear out on a daily basis or to a glamorous evening, so it's a win win situation. 

Have a great valentines day, 

love,

OOTD feat. Colour

Today I am going to do something a bit different. Here is something bright and colourful, not the usual, normally I'm in black or white, so time to step out of your comfort zone. Here Emilie is wearing a pink floor length dress from Topshop, it was down to £10 in my local store but unfortunately I cannot find it online any more. It was a bit chilly out so we covered this dress with a jumper from H&M (which was £14.99). This has been paired with a black pair of JuJu Black Heeled Sanadals which are £25. The flower crown is from Roses & Clementines and the butterfly necklace was from Accessorize a long time ago.  All together I like this outfit and how everything has come together. If you are interested in my photographs you can take a look over on my Flickr page. 

Thank you
