Get to Know Me: Favourite Youtubers.

Hello lovelies!

All but one of these youtubers is beauty/style related just FYI and every photo I have next to them I have just screen-shotted from their Instagrams, which I will leave their handles for next to their name and also a link of my current fave video from their youtube channel for you to have a look at. Tell me in the comments who your favourites are? :) I'd love to hear!

Thank you in advance for reading, I hope you enjoyed! x x x x x

Makeup That Goes With Any Lipstick.

Hello there lovelies! 

A major part of pulling off crazy lipstick colours (and normal ones) is matching it to the rest of your makeup. So you obviously wouldn't want to go too bold on the eyes because then your lips will look a little bit out of place. Anyway, I've figured out a perfect look that works for any lipstick colour that you'd like to wear!

Personally, I really always like dewy skin with still a pretty full coverage so I always start with that. As for the rest of my makeup to go with any lipstick, generally I just go for some nice, defined brows, a neutral taupe colour in the crease blended quite well with a shimmery shade all over the lid and just a thin(ish) liner with no flick.

Here are a few lipstick colours that this makeup goes with, I took a lot more photos with a lot more lipsticks but it seemed a little bit full of myself haha! Anyway, from left to right: Illamasqua gel liner in Infinity, Velvet Teddy by MAC, Sin by MAC, ESP by Illamasqua, an Urban Decay lipstick (can't remember the name) and Cyber by MAC.

So there you have it, makeup to go with any lip colour!

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed!

REVIEW: Makeup Geek Shadows.

Hey lovelies! 

I have lusted after Makeup Geek shadows ever since Marlena (who runs the youtube channel MakeupGeek, funnily enough) announced she was making products! I always admired her makeup and loved her channel so to hear she was making her own products was really exciting! Anyway, I lusted after them for a while, used to go on the MakeupGeek website and put lots of the shadows in my basket and then going against it. I just never wanted to get hit with the customs cost which always seems to happen to me. So, when Beauty Bay announced the arrival of MakeupGeek prodcuts I've never jumped on a website so quick! 

If you've ever ordered from Beauty Bay you'll know their service is amazing etcetc! But here are the shadows I currently own:

From left to right: Corrupt, Bitten, Mesmerized, Typhoon, Peach Smoothie & Shimma Shimma.

Of course I absolutely had to get the cult favourites Peach Smoothie & Corrupt. The rest are all gorgeous and have seemed to make their way into my daily routine. I also use Shimma Shimma as a highlight on the face at times as well, just a tip for anyone!!

Honestly the pigmentation of these eyeshadows is amazing and I was very pleasantly surprised, they are just as good as MAC eyeshadows, if not better, for half the price! Which honestly is amazing. I totally think these are worth the hype, totally worth the money and I think these will be a staple in my makeup collection. Sort of want every single colour they do, haha!

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed!

MAC Lip Product Collection + Swatches.

Hey lovelies!
I hope you had a good Valentines, I just thought I'd do a post on my MAC lip product collection since my Illamasqua one went down really well!

I think everyone knows that MAC lipsticks are pretty much a must have, their formula is amazing and they smell amazing (honestly, if you've never had a MAC lipstick, your first one and your first little scent of it is the best thing ever) and I think they're a staple in anyones makeup collection. I, for one, will have many MAC lipsticks throughout my lifetime, that I know haha! Here's some swatches of what I have so far:

From left to right: Nightmoth (lip liner), Hang Up, Velvet Teddy, Russian Red, New York Apple, Sin, Cyber, Amorous, Ruby Woo & Dark Side.

I love all my colours and can't wait to add to my collection, I have a few in mind already! I would have swatched them on the lips but my lips are incredibly dry at the minute so didn't really feel like making it worse and there is so many of them too! 

I hope you enjoyed this post and thank you for reading!

Tom Ford Black Orchid Review.

So, for Christmas my wonderful boyfriend got me a perfume I've been after for a long time but because it's very pricey I've never bothered to treat myself to it. It's Tom Ford's Black Orchid.

I have the 50ml and it retails for £75.00 which is obviously incredibly pricey! However it is very long lasting/strong so I find only a couple of spritz does you the whole day and night. It's also one of Tom Ford's best sellers and I can see why!

The packaging is definitely very luxurious feeling and I love that it's sleek and black. The scent is described as warm spicy/sweet and the top notes in it are Jasmine, Orchid, Blackcurrant, Lemon, Sandalwood, Bergamot and Mandarin. I have been told on a couple of occasions when wearing it though that I smell like chocolate! Who wouldn't want that?

I highly recommend this perfume and I think if you have the money to splurge a little bit it's definitely worth it!

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy!

REVIEW: Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipstick.

Hey lovelies!

Today I've brought a little review for you since the last few posts have been all about makeup and I thought what else to do it on than the massive craze atm.. liquid lipsticks!

I have Jeffree Star's Velour Liquid Lipstick in the shade Redrum. A gorgeous, blue toned, "true" red. It's a seriously stunning shade. So first I'll show you the swatches, which honestly speak for themself, talk about what Jeffree claims about his liquid lipsticks, the other shades available, where to get them and then finally what I personally think.

Here are the photos:

Okay, so from the official Jeffree Star Cosmetics website, he claims this colour is the perfect red (which it is) and that it will look amazing on any skin tone (which it would) so that I definitely agree with. These products and I'm assuming all of Jeffree's products are vegan and cruelty free - which for anyone who is worried about that will be relieved to no. Personally it doesn't bother me too much but it is good to know there are no harsh chemicals or anything in his products! He claims it goes on opaque and stays for hours. Which again, I agree with.

The swatches I have showed on my hand and my lips are with just one layer. The pigment is there as soon as you put it on which I love. It takes around 30-40 seconds to dry completely matte, which isn't really a problem. It isn't drying but I still tend to use a lip balm under it to prevent any drying at all, which also sometimes can add to the drying time but it's nothing too bad. The formula of this lipstick means it is SO easy to overline your lips, which I love because I just personally really like that look. I think these are amazing, his colours are absolutely gorgeous! He's obviously a really out there and colourful person and that shows in his makeup line. I'm a huge fan of Jeffree and I don't think anyone will be able to beat his fantastic liquid lipstick line. I want all the colours!! The packaging is super cute, signature pink for Jeffree, of course, with the little stars I think it's really cute and adorable. Also about the packaging, the lid you can actually hear 'click' when it's closed which I find good as there's been plenty of times where I've thought I've closed a lipstick properly and haven't. The applicator of these lipsticks are lovely, they only have product in the actual little dip in the doe-foot (I don't know if that's how you spell it) applicator so there's no extra product anywhere. The only thing I have trouble with about is that the doe-foot applicator is a teensy bit 'fluffy' I suppose you could call it so sometimes getting a precise line isn't always possible. But it's easily fixed with using a lip brush. 

I'd highly recommend getting your hands on a few of the colours, they're all stunning and I can't wait to get more! Watch out though as they all sell out SO fast! 

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed!
