Quick and Easy Makeup

Hey,

Today I thought I'd do a quick and easy makeup look that you can do pretty quickly in the mornings - whether you're rushing around for school/college or work this makeup look can be done pretty quickly whilst also still looking really nice!

For this look I used:
Anastasia Dipbrow in Dark Brown
Illamasqua Brow Cake in Gaze
Maybelline Brow Drama brow gel
Makeup Revolution Ultra Cover & Correct concealer palette in light
MAC Wedge eyeshadow
MUA Highlight in Iridescent Gold (I used this on the face and eyes)
Anastasia Contour Kit
Rimmel liquid Liner
Soap & Glory Thick and Fast mascara
Illamasqua Shard and MAC Velvet Teddy mixed

Rose Gold Eye Makeup Look

Hey!

Today's post is on this rose gold eye makeup that I've been wearing loads recently because I love it so much, the colours are super pretty and flattering!

For the eyes/brows I used;

Anastasia Dipbrow in Dark Brown,
Illamasqua Brow cake in Gaze
Maybelline Brow Drama brow gel 

Makeup Revolution Ultra Cover & Conceal palette in light
Makeup Geek Bitten, Peach Smoothie and Grandstand Eyeshadows
Makeup Revolution Awesome Metals in Rose Gold
Soap & Glory Thick and Fast Mascara
Rimmel liquid liner

For the face/lips I used;

Rimmel True Match + L'OReal Infallible foundations

Anastasia Contour Kit in light-medium

Rimmel Blush

MAC MSF in Soft & Gentle

Illamasqua lip pencil + Shard and Resist lipsticks mixed

NYX Dewy Setting Spray

For the eyes I started off with a base of concealer to cancel out veins and redness on my eyelids, also to carve out my brows so I could clean up any mistakes I'd made. Next I powdered it using the banana shade from the Anastasia contour kit just to set it down and make sure it would stay all day. I started off with a little bit of Bitten by Makeup Geek in the crease, barely dipping my brush for product so that the pigmentation wasn't too strong as I wanted this to be quite soft and blended. I blended out any edges I did end up having very softly with Peach Smoothie by Makeup Geek. I then put a very (and this is important) very thin layer of Makeup Revolution's Awesome Metals cream shadow in Rose Gold and then layered Makeup Geek's Grandstand shadow over top of the cream base. The reason for it having to be a thin layer is that this product tends to crease quite a bit if you apply it quite thickly and obviously, we don't want that! Haha. Next I just added a winged liner, added Bitten very softly to the lower lashes and then added mascara and I was done! :)

So, there's the look! I hope you enjoyed and I'll have a new post up soon :)

Quick Little Superdrug Haul.

Hey!

So in the last couple of weeks I picked a couple of things up that I'd been dying to try from Superdrug - all things which I will do reviews on once I've used them a bunch and know my thoughts on them!

So, I got the Barry M Fine Glitter Dust in Gold Iridescent, it was £4.59 and I thought this would be perfect for the inner corners, to use as a highlight (because it is very fine, barely feels like glitter) and for cut creases and such. It also looked like a very cheap alternative to MAC's Reflect Gold glitter! I'll let you all know how I get on with this when I get to using it properly.

Next up was the MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquer in the shade Tranquility, for £3. When I swatched this in store it looked like a much more matte version of one of my MAC lipsticks (one which I wish was matte as well) so I decided to pick it up too! Again I'll let you all know how I get on with this. It's a gorgeous colour though!

Lastly are the MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighters in Iridescent Gold and Pink Shimmer, both £3. Originally, I just swatched these and decided that I didn't need yet another highlighter... So I carried on my way around Superdrug and swatched things but kept going back and looking at these and looking at the swatches and just completely falling in love! They ended up being in my hands before I knew it - and luckily too, because they were the last ones! 

I hope you enjoyed this little mini haul, will be posting my reviews as soon as I get to know my thoughts and all these products! :)

Thank you for reading!

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!

Winged Out Eyeshadow Look.

Hey lovelies!

Today's little makeup post is on a winged out eyeshadow look. I never tend to go with this unless I'm wearing liner but I actually really liked the way this turned out when I done it so I thought I'd do a little post on it!

I just packed on the Mesmerised eyeshadow by Makeup Geek all over the lid with a little bit of Makeup Revolution Awesome Metals in Rose Gold in the inner corner. I cleaned up the edges with a baby wipe and blended out any harsh lines but other than that, I was done with this look because I really loved how it turned out!

I used the Soap and Glory Thick & Fast Mascara, Anastasia Dipbrow in Dark Brown, Illamasqua Brow Cake in Gaze for the brows and mascara. For the face I used Rimmel True Match foundation in Ivory, Anastasia powder Contour Kit in Light-Medium, MAC MSF in Soft & Gentle and MAC's Velvet Teddy very lightly dabbed on the lips.

Golden Bronze Halo Eye.

Hey lovelies,

Today's post is a little Golden Bronze Halo eye! I was inspired, in all honesty, by the weather to do this halo eye, haha! You'd think in July it'd be somewhat nice weather... but no, no it's not. It's rainy and gloomy and sometimes cold! That's what I get for living in Scotland I suppose! Anyway, I figured that I could put a little bit of glittery sun on my eye :)

Sunset Summer Eyes

Hey lovelies! 

Today's post is on this cute summery look that I did, the eyes kind of remind me of a red sky sunset! :)

Hey lovelies!

Here is my everyday eyeshadow Z-Palette.

Bold Summer Makeup

Hey lovelies!

Not that we get much of a Summer in the UK, especially Scotland, but I thought I'd just do a little post on a bold summertime makeup look to go with the soft one.

My New Obsession.

Hey lovelies! 

Recently my new obsession has been experimenting with lip art and different looks I can achieve through using different products on my lips. Here's what I've done so far.

I used Makeup Geek Typhoon and Blacklight over a base.

This one was done using the Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoo in Eternal Gold and Illamasqua Furore pigment.

This one is Scorpio by Jeffree Star as the base with Androgyny, two blue eyeshadow pencils, a Rimmel red gloss and Illamasqua gloss as the dots.

Here I used the Maybelline cream shadow in Eternal Gold again with Honeysuckle by Glittertubes on the bottom lip and Pound by Glittertubes also on the top lip.

This one is simple but I just liked my lipstick application so thought I'd include it, haha! It's Androgyny liquid lipstick by Jeffree Star.

This one is the two blue eyeshadow pencils again and MAC 3D glitter in Silver.

Colourful Liner | MOTD.

Hey lovelies!

I hope you've had a nice weekend, today's post is on this cute colourful liner!

I did a light wash of Wedge by MAC in the crease and Shimma Shimma by Makeup Geek over the lid and in the inner corner. For the liner I used Androgyny by Jeffree Star! It's a liquid lipstick thats safe to use on the eyes too! I love a multi-purpose product, don't you?

I obviously paired it with Androgyny on the lips! ;)

I just thought this was a cute little post to do for today. Colourful liner is really pretty and different if you want to do something out of the norm!

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed.

Dita Von Teese Inspired Makeup Look.

Hey lovelies!

I was inspired to do this post because I honestly just love Dita Von Teese and she's just so beautiful. She makes me want to buy loads of corsets and waist train and be just the perfect pin up beautiful lady that she is, haha! Anyways, I seen this photo in particular:

(Sorry for the NSFW photo)

And felt like I had to do a look inspired by it! Obviously it's not going to be exact but that's just life and I added highlight where she didn't and I kept to bronzer rather than adding blush, purely because of personal preference.

Anyway here is the look I came up with:

I obviously had to add the trademark Dita beauty mark and red lip :)

I used:

Anastasia Dipbrow in Dark brown to outline my brows and fill them in slightly, then Illamasqua's Browcake in Gaze to fill them in more because Dita's brows are incredibly beautiful and thick and dark, I then used a very pale shadow all over my lid once I'd primed it to highlight the brow bone and set my primer - I used MAC's Orb for that. Then I highlighted the brow bone more with a little bit of Shroom by MAC. I then went in with Makeup Geek's Shimma Shimma in the inner corner and MAC's Wedge in the crease, I made sure to thoroughly blend it out so there was no harsh lines and Makeup Geek's Peach Smoothie mixed with Orb again just above the crease to make sure it was blended nicely. I then lined my upper lashline with Illamasqua's gel liner in Infinity. I used Rimmel's Wake Me Up foundation in Ivory and Collection's Lasting Perfection concealer to get rid of some imperfections. Then going on to the lips (cause I just couldn't wait tbh) with Jeffree Star's Redrum liquid lipstick. I then went in with Anastasia's Contour Kit to bronze up my complexion and finally MAC's Soft & Gentle MSF to highlight my cheekbones!

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed! :)

I quite liked doing a celeb inspired look so maybe look out for more of these in the future!

I hope you enjoyed yesterday's post. If you didn't see it check this link here.

Anyway, this is just a quick post to let you know I have a new youtube video up! The link is here. It's my 'Signature Look' for the I Am Freedom Makeup Awards, the sister company of Makeup Revolution. This is just the first round and it may get me no where but I just wanted to try it anyway and jump into something new.

For anyone else that's interested here is a link to the website so you can see the entry requirements and how to enter/what to do for yourself!

For anyone that doesn't know me my signature look is generally a really dark smokey eye with highlighted skin and a nude lip. So something similar to this:

Anyway, everyone keep your fingers crossed for me and hope that I get somewhere with it! Thanks for reading :)

Makeup Geek Mini-Haul!

Hey lovelies!

I am coming at you with a mini haul from Beauty Bay in the form of four gorgeous Makeup Geek eyeshadows!

As some of you may know from this post here where I do a full review on more of the Makeup Geek eyeshadows, I love them! For the price and the intense pigmentation, they truly are amazing!

I'll start this off with the only matte one I got!

This is Cocoa Bear - I'm sure if you watch Jaclyn Hill or Rosi Jay Pierce you'll have heard them talk about this, it's a gorgeous warm brown transition and outer-v colour. I love it. Very happy I picked this up, prefer it to Peach Smoothie actually!

Next up is a foiled eyeshadow formula.

This is Grandstand. It's an absolutely gorgeous shimmery beautiful gold colour. It's definitely more of a bronzey-gold but it's gorgeous all over the lid. Definitely worth picking up!

Next two are the duo-chrome formula.

Top one is Steampunk and the bottom one is Blacklight. Steampunk is quite browny/green in colour, kind of like if you see oil on the road and it flashes lots of different sort of colours. It's really different and pretty. Blacklight is lilac/blue/pink. It's also gorgeous, it's quite interesting as in inner corner highlight actually. 

As always these eyeshadows blend like an absolute dream and they are well worth buying. 

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

Night Out Makeup, Hair + Outfit.

Hey lovelies!

You should read part one of this little blog post here if you haven't. If you have, I'll get right to it!

I always pick my outfit realistically like a week in advance, so I'll make sure it's washed, ironed etc and laid out over the chair that sits at my vanity table.

Next is on to my makeup:

For this I used:

Anastasia Dipbrow in Dark Brown
Illamasqua Browcake in Gaze
Makeup Revolution Ultra Cover & Conceal palette - light
Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder - translucent
Makeup Geek eyshadows in Corrupt to define the crease & Cocoa Bear to blend
Glittertubes glitter in Honeysuckle
Illamasqua Gel liner in Infinity
Soap & Glory Thick and Fast Mascara
Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in Ivory
Collection Illuminating Touch in Ivory
Collection Lasting Perfection concealer in Fair
Makeup Revolution Ultra Cream Contour palette in Light
Anastasia Beverly Hills contour kit in light-medium
MAC MSF in Soft & Gentle
Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lips in Scorpio + Androgyny (I mixed them on the back of my hand first)

The makeup and outfit all together: 

I pretty much just straightened my hair and put my fringe up and away from my face. My whole outfit is from Boohoo.com, the top and shoes you won't be able to get anymore, the bra and skirt you will.

Thank you so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed, might do a post like this every couple of months because I enjoyed doing it, too! See you in my next post :)
