Urban Decay Electric Palette: Swatches + Review

Hey lovelies!

As it was my birthday recently, I got a £30 gift card to House of Frasers which I happily spent in Urban Decay on a palette I've been eyeing up for what seems like forever. It's the Urban Decay Electric palette.

I also bought a mini primer potion and it's super good too! Might do a review on that of how my eyeshadow lasts with and without it.. 

Excuse the flash but I was in terrible lighting so I had to do what I had to do. Here are the 10 beautiful shades that you have in the palette to work with and actually, a pretty decent double sided brush considering normally they're not that great.

From left to right there is: Revolt, Gonzo, Slowburn, Savage, Fringe, Chaos, Jilted, Urban, Freak and Thrash.

These eyeshadows are all immensely pigmented and people say it's hard to work with but I actually find them easy to work with, easy to build up and you can use other palettes/eyeshadows you have in combination with these to make it more "wearable" for everyday use. The palette has very pretty packaging, a decent sized mirror and ten absolutely awesome shades I feel like this will be secure and also a good purchase for my makeup kit as well as to use for myself. My favourite of the shades are Chaos (the royal blue), Urban (the deeper, shimmery purple) and Savage (the hot matte pink).

I totally think this is worth the money, I think the palette is super pretty and definitely brings out more of a creative edge with me whenever I pick it up (which has been more or less everyday since I bought it!) and I can see myself getting the use out of it... Even using some of the eyeshadows as liners with my Illamasqua Sealing Gel, it's just such a cool palette and I'm really enjoying working with it and playing with it! Obviously if you don't really like colourful eyeshadows, this isn't going to be the one for you but I'm glad I bought it as I feel like we are completely makeup soul-mates.

I hope you enjoyed this post!

Favourite Everyday Makeup Eyeshadows

Hey lovelies,

Sorry for the lack of posting, I will get back into the swing of things soon! Today's post is about my favourite 'everyday makeup' eyeshadows! The three eyeshadows I reach for the most on a day to day basis, in other words.

From left to right: Cocoa Bear, Shimma Shimma and Mesmerised (all from Makeup Geek)

They are all beautiful colours and so easy to use from day to day! I can rarely ever go a day without using Cocoa Bear in my crease, it's just the perfect warm brown and goes with almost every look. Shimma Shimma is an absolutely stunning inner corner/brow bone highlight and it's also stunning all over the lid! Mesmerised is just such a gorgeous, unique shade and I love it for something quick to throw on that instantly makes it look like you've made an effort! 

So that's it from me today! What are your favourite day to day eyeshadows?

My MAC palette (So far)

Hi there lovelies! I'm sorry it's been long time no post but I've been SUPER busy and just couldn't find the time to post anything. I'm sorry. Going to start trying to get into the swing of things with posting at least once a week, I have a good few posts lined up but I also want your suggestions for if there is anything you'd like to see here on my blog! I'd be happy to do it.
Anyway, today's post is gonna be something simple and easy - my MAC palette so far - there's two sides to this palette, each can hold (hold on till I count this.. yes, I'm being serious here) 15 eye shadows - so 30 in total! For just now I've obviously not filled it and I'll do another post when I have but I ain't made of money so no can do for just now.. :p

This is Orb. It's a great colour for all over the eyelid, simple to just throw on as a base or simply to just mattify your lids if you're going to be using something like gel eyeliner or you have oily lids in general and don't particularly like that look.

This is Shroom. It's a beautiful shimmery colour (swatches are in the last photo) it's great for a brow highlight, for in the inner corners or again all over the lid for just a shimmery, beautiful wash of colour.

Next is All That Glitters. A colour I think every girl should own. It's a goldey-pinky colour. I've never seen anything quite like it and I really, really love it. It's perfect for all over the lid too. Use it wet and you won't regret it.

Here is Wedge. My holy grail crease colour. If anything better than this comes along I'll let you know but for now and for the foreseeable future... this is the best crease colour you're ever going to get. EVER. (You need it, go buy it)

This is Satin Taupe. This is perfect for blue and green eyes I'd say. It's just such a beautiful colour.

This is Copperplate, another amazing crease colour. Not quite as good as Wedge, because to me, nothing is, but I do love this.

This is Concrete - if anyone has seen my MOTD posts when my hair colour was a good bit lighter (oh, I forgot to mention, I'm a full on black haired girly now) then you'd recognise this as the product I always listed I used on my eyebrows. It's a perfect brow colour for medium brown hair colours and it's also lovely on the eyes, multi purpose products make my heart and bank account happy :)

This is Plum Dressing. I absolutely love this colour and the payoff with it, it's so so beautiful and I definitely do not regret having it on my Christmas wishlist.

This is Sketch. Such a beautiful colour to have if you're going for a really dark, smokey look but don't want to use black, also great for the inner and outer V of your eyes if you're going for a spotlight eye - Sketch and Plum Dressing are beautiful for that. Love this eyeshadow.

From Left to Right:

Orb, Shroom, All That Glitters, Wedge, Satin Taupe, Copperplate, Concrete, Plum Dressing and Sketch.

Thank you for reading, hope you enjoyed! <3

Eyes of the Day.

I first of all used this little No7 "Stay Perfect" eyeshadow in the shade "69 Starry Lights" all over the lid and made sure it didn't go above my crease and really concentrated it in the inner corner. 

Next I used a kind of semi shimmery shade from a French Connection palette I have. I only took little strokes at a time in the crease and the outer edge to darken it. Also remembering to blend, blend, blend!

(This eyeshadow doesn't have a name as far as I'm aware but will update this if I find out it does. I'm on my phone just now and it isn't as easy to search.)

Lastly I just added a couple of coats of mascara to my bottom and top lashes and voila, it was all finished. 

I used the Rimmel Scandal Eyes mascara in the shade "003 Extreme Black". This all took less than ten minutes! :)

I hope you enjoyed and I'm sorry for the lack of posting. I will seriously get round to posting more, I promise!!
