An everyday eye ...

So here is my eye day eye pretty simple :

 

Okay so you'll have to excuse the shadow from my camera, anyway it's really simple consisting of one colour all over the lid abit of eyeliner and some brown eyeshadow added in 

So here are the steps if you would like this look yourself:

1. Cover the lid in a highlight colour. I used MAC's paint pot in Bare Study and therefore didn't use a primer

2. Add some definition to the lash line using a black eyeshadow. I used MUA's Matt Black (it was only £1 and is really pigmented!)

 

3. Add some depth in the crease by using a soft Brown, i use Buck from the Naked Palette

 

 4. Go over Black liner with some liquid liner. I use a Brown liquid liner by Collection 2000

 

5. Add some mascara i used an old Rimmel one for this look but my usual choice is Collection 2000 super size!

And that's it!

If you would like a review on any of these products please let me know

Super sized lashes

My Jemma Kidd mascara recently ran out, so i needed a new one, however when i went the Trafford Centre for a random shopping trip, i went into Boots needing a new eyeliner - when i seen this for £2.99

 

The bottle doesn't look anything to go by with the pink bottle looking like you could find it in a child's play collection. But it was the 'Super Size' that caught my eye, the mascara was new out and it was worth ago.

Results:

Before (no mascara or makeup - beautiful):

After:

 

As you can see for a £2.99 mascara this one is pretty good! It's a really lengthening  and even gives a bit of volume which is hard to tell from this picture as it is a really close image!

I have tried so many mascara's in the past with this probably being one of the cheapest i have tried, but it is also one of the best.

Collection 2000 is bringing out some real gems lately!

Stay tuned for some more reviews!

Current MAC Lipsticks

Here is my current collection of MAC lipsticks. 

 

As you can see I'm a girl who loves a pink lip, it seems to be the only colour that suits me. Bright, bold colours i love, however they seem to make me look allot paler than i am.

I'm trying to get into bolder statement lips, so i picked up the first one you can see Crosswires, which is a red with pinky undertones.

So from left to right we have:

1. Crosswires - Cremesheen

2. Viva Glam - GAGA - Lustre

3. Angel - Frost

4. Creme D' Nude - Cremesheen

5. Snob - Satin

My most worn lipstick is Angel, its so easy to wear, one of them colours that is definitely a 'your lips but better'. The consistency of each lipstick is different, the cremesheens and lustre are very creamy and have a shine so if your not a fan of a sticky lipgloss this is definitely the consistency for you. A frost gives quite a good colour pay off with a hint of gloss, where as a satin can be quite drying on the lip as there isn't much of a glossy finish, so you would need a lipbalm or gloss with this.

Adimitly i usually wait until BAC 2 MAC before i get a lipstick which can take a few months. However using this service does give you a chance to experiment with lip colours that you usually wouldn't think would suit you or that you would like to try but are unsure.

What are your favourites and what brand do you love?

Abit of colour blocking anyone?

Another trend i'm loving is colour blocking, i remember seeing this on Gucci's catwalk and woondering if it would be a hit.

Then i remember walking into Zara and the shop was covered in colour.

Anyway i picked up these two pieces in the sale both at £9.99 each!

 

 The pants i thought would add a pop of colour instead of a jeans and t shirt combo on those lazy days! They would also be perfect for work.

The pink top is quite boxy, however teamed with simple jeans or black jeans it instantly brightens an outfit, perfect and on trend.

 

Another way to add some colour into your outfit is shoes! they're are so many cute ballet pumps in stores at the moment! I picked up these ones from Topshop and this colour is perfect with a tan!!

My new favourite colour..

Maroon, Red, Wine colours..

OBSESSED

I don't know what it is but lately i have been obsessing with this colour palette, strange i know, however i  found some pieces that capture my obsession ...

Please ignore the un ironed clothes they've been in the bag for a few days!

The first piece is a shirt from MinkPink, the brand has its own website or you can buy their piece on ASOS also, i love this shirt, usually i dont like sleeves are shirts that a frilled, but this is so pretty ..

The second piece is one from Primark, i never usually venture into this shop, however i needed some simple black shoes, when i seen this its an oversized shirt with mesh and blocked panelling at the back.

I think this colour will look great with leather style pants.

I'm also loving Raspberry by Barry M.

Does anyone have any colours they love or am i just strange !?

Burts Bee's Healthy glow kit- oh i'm in LOVE

So today in the post arrives my parcel of new skincare, i've literally given up on my no7 exfoliator as it give me an array of spots - lovely.

So i was on the hunt for something i could give a test when i stumbled across this:

On the website the size looked alot bigger, however at £15 and most of the products in the kit priced at £10 - £20 per item i should of expected the size to be somewhat 'small'.

However you do get 20ml of the facial wash and 7g of everything else with is a good size to get a couple of testers out.

Anyway upon using the products they are amazing! Have you ever used a facial cleanser and felt like it had just stripped your skin of everything leaving it feeling ultra dry? So have i, however this leaves it so smooth and nourished and topped with the day lotion and eye cream my skin is in heaven. It feels the best its felt in a long time after only one use!

Im so excited and happy with this product i cant recommend it enough! and its on the more affordable scale which is always a benefit!

One last thing the lip balm has shimmer in it which is an added bonus. My lips get so dry and cracked through winter but there is not a crack or dry lip in sight! this is my new favourite lip balm (it also comes in lots of colours aswell :D )

do you have any favourite skin products??
