Neutral Smokey Goodness

Some neutral smokes with a pretty out there contour/highlight for my cute little baby cousin.

• Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner
• Benefit They're Real Mascara
• Makeup Revolution Contour Kit
• L'Oreal Brow Kit
• W7 Eyeshadow palettes (the more neutral ones, can't remember the names exactly)
• Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer
• Static Pigment by Illamasqua

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed looking at my lil babe!

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette: Review/Look.

This is the look I created with my Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette (thank you Lesley if you read this :3) I'm completely in love with it. Anyway, details for my face makeup are:

Garnier Hydrating Day Care

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in 100 Ivory

Benefit's Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Foundation in i'm pure 4 sure
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder
MAC Bronzing Powder in Golden
Illamasqua Eyebrow Cake in Gaze

Illamasqua Matte Lipstick in Shard

Rimmel Scandal'Eyes Mascara in Extreme Black

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette

Maybelline Fit Me concealer in 115

For my eyes I blended 'Nooner' into the crease and 'Limit' just above that to blend it out softer. Then on the inner corner I put 'Buzz' and 'Liar' on the outer corner of my eye. I blended them both together and then re-added 'Nooner' to my crease to intensify it. I also used Strange as a brow highlight and Dust with a wet brush right in the inner tearduct. I also used Nooner on the bottom lashline.

I apologise that my photos of the Naked 3 aren't too great but it was night time when I was taking these photos and was rushing to get to my boyfriends house in time, but I took some photos with the flash and some without just to show you all :)

I absolutely LOVE this eyeshadow palette, it is without a doubt one of the best I've ever owned and I'd even go as far to say that the payoff for some of them is better than some of my MAC eyeshadows (and I love my MAC eyeshadows like they were my babies haha) the three matte shades are great, I haven't had a chance to play with the four darkest shades yet but I'm SO excited to do so, they are so beautiful. Dust I would advise anyone to use wet as the colour payoff isn't that great without it being wet, but once you've got it and you've worked with it a bit, it is AWESOME. Such a beautiful colour. My only complaint with this is that the eyeshadows do tend to fall down a bit BUT the easy way to fix that is to do your eyes first and base second OR to place a lot of translucent powder under your eyes if you have already done your base and then wipe it away when you're finished, and the fall down from the eyeshadow should disappear with it :)

Christmas Day Makeup.

My Christmas Day makeup ended up purpley in order to match my top I was wearing :) Also chose not to wear any lip products other than a non tinted lip balm purely because the eyes are pretty bold/colourful for me and I didn't want to put two bold things together as I'm not a massive fan of neutrals, my lips were and still are super dry and also because it was Christmas Day, I knew I'd be eating all day, so what's the point in constantly reapplying and making my lips drier?! :p

Anyway, I will just list all the products I used in order to get this look as I'm feeling a lil lazy, I'll also link everything that I can :)

• Garnier Essentials Hydrating Day Care 
• Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in 100 Ivory
• Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow foundation in i'm pure 4 sure
• NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla
• Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in the t zone ONLY 
• MAC Bronzing Powder in Golden
• MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft & Gentle
• Rimmel Lasting Finish Blush in Santa Rose
• Illamasqua Eyebrow Cake in Gaze
• MAC Sketch eyeshadow in the crease
• MAC Plum Dressing eyeshadow all over the mobile lid
• L'Oreal Paris Super Liner in black
• Rimmel Scandal Eyes Mascara in Extreme Black
• MAC Nightmoth lipliner in the tight and water line.

Hope you enjoyed this! :) I really liked this makeup look, I hope you like it too :3 

Robyn's Works Night Out Makeup - 11th December.

Robyn and I put her hair into my heated rollers to start off with and used hairspray on them as we went so that her hair would stay in place and also be finished for once her makeup was done! Firstly with Robyn I primed her eyes with the 'Barbara Day even smoother eye primer' which I got from tesco but can't find it anywhere on the site to link on here... Next I first went in with "MAC's Wedge" in her crease just to define it a little, we then went over that with "MAC's Concrete" softly in the centre and concentrated it more in the inner and outer corners of her eye, making sure to wing it out at the outer corner of her eye. Next we went in with a pink colour from my "Makeup Revolution Awesome Eyeshadow Collection" (it doesn't have a colour listed but if it did I'd have listed it) in ONLY the centre of her eye, blending it in with the inner and outer corner we used Concrete on.

 To add some extra sparkle we went in with L'Oreal Paris' Color Riche eye shadow in '204 Golden Nude' just over where we put Concrete and Wedge. I also lightly dusted 'Slink' from my Illamasqua Complement palette to her eyes. I lightly filled in her wonderful brows with Illamasqua's eyebrow cake in Gaze. Time for liner! I used a mixture of L'Oreal's Super Liner Blackbuster to get the general shape and filled it in with L'Oreal's Super Liner Perfect Slim to get it really black and fill in any sparse areas. Robyn also used Rimmel London's Scandaleyes Mascara in Extreme Black.

Next it was time for the skin! So wiping away any fallout from the eyeshadows, we moisturised her skin with Garnier Essentials Hydrating Day Care which Robyn and I both love cause it smells so yummy! I used Rimmel's Match Perfection concealer in 010 Ivory under her eyes and around her nose area and blended that into her skin. Next I mixed one teeeny tiny half a pump of Benefit's Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow foundation in I'm pure 4 sure, Ivory with a full pump of Rimmel's Wake Me Up foundation in 100 Ivory and blended that into her skin, making it look even more flawless!

I powdered her skin with my good old Rimmel Stay Matte powder before contouring her cheek bones with MAC's Bronzing Powder in Golden and also put it around her temples. Robyn and I love a good old highlight so we highlighted her skin with MAC's Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft & Gentle. Lastly for her lips we went with "Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet" lipstick in the shade "Ole Flamingo!" or "Nude-ist!" (I can't remember which one and Robyn still has it with her)

Anyway here is her finished look! I hope you all enjoyed this post and again, I'm SO sorry for not posting much!! I have linked all the products that I can find, any that aren't there have either been discontinued or I just can't find. Thank you for reading :) x

Makeup of the Day - 22nd November 2014.

Hey there!

So I'm going to do a little post every now and again (mostly whenever I've done makeup that I actually like or if it's something that's not just 'everyday' and common for me) of how I've done my makeup that day :)

 This is the eye makeup I went for today, totally made it up as I went along and ended up loving it so I figured I'd take quick snaps before I went out and do a post on it :) Okay so firstly for my skin I moisturised with Garnier Essentials Hydrating Day Care, then went in with my Benefit Brow Zings in medium (I only use the wax) and put that all over my brows then filled them in with Illamasqua's browcake in Gaze. Next I put Soap & Glory's Kick Ass Concealer all over my lid as a base (and cleaned up any mistakes I made with my brows) and then applied MAC's Orb all over my lid and crease, this colour is just very pale and makes a perfect base colour. I then added MAC's Wedge into my crease and then finally added a bit of MAC's Concrete eye shadow into the outer corner of my eyes to darken it up. Next I lined my top lash line with L'Oreal's super liner and winged it out at the ends. Next for my face I mixed Benefit's Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow foundation (is that the longest name or what?) in the shade "I'm Pure 4 Sure, Ivory" with Rimmel's Wake Me Up foundation in 100 Ivory. I mix them because I don't like the Benefit one on its own and the Rimmel one is too sparkly for me on it's own so they kind of balance each other out :) Next I powdered using Maybelline Fit Me powder in 115 Ivory. I next contoured my cheekbones with MAC's Bronzing Powder in Golden, put some blusher from Rimmel in the shade 010 Santa Rose (this is so old I don't even think you can get it anymore haha) on the apples of my cheeks and finally MAC's Mineralize Skin finish in Soft and Gentle on the highest points on my face/where light would naturally hit (top of the cheekbones, bit on the forehead, cupids bow and chin and down the bridge of the nose) I finished off my eyes with Benefit's They're Real mascara and voila! I'm all done :) I would normally pair this with a red lip but my lips are so dry/cut/chapped that I couldn't even bear it haha :) Anyway, I'm gonna really start trying to do more things on here!

Please excuse my Me to You onesie haha :) but here is the finished look!

Thinking about doing a lip product collection on here but kind of scared because I have SO much stuff. We'll see :)

Benefit They're Real! Mascara | Review.

I am just going to start off by saying this mascara is one of the best ones I've ever used. I absolutely love the length and volume it gives my lashes. This mascara retails for £19.50 so it is on the pricier side of things, but in my opinion, it's SO worth it. It's an amazing mascara and it makes me feel like my lashes are perfect every time I use it. It also lasts forever, I've had this since Christmas and it's not dried out or anything and it's quality hasn't reduced the longer I've used it! I've also had a long time to play with it so I can truly say it's one of the most perfect mascaras I've ever used. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.
