Urban Decay Electric Palette Look #2!

Hey guys,
I am having so much fun with the Urban Decay Electric Palette! I can't get over how pigmented and flawless the pigments are.
I know I've only just put a look out but it took me soo long to do I didn't want to wait around any longer for another!

Disney Series: Snow White!

Hellooo!
I have ANOTHER Disney look for you guys today! I did this one the same day as my Tinkerbell look, but I haven't been too sure about it... Snow White is a lot simpler so it made it a lot more difficult to do a look that I liked! After about 3 attempts I finally decided I liked this one, I hope you do too!

Daily Eyeshadow Look using Born Pretty Makeup!

Hey Guys!

I'm having great fun with my new makeup palette from Born Pretty Store so I thought I'd show you another look. It's the one I've been wearing to work for the last few days, I hope you like it!

American Makeup Haul!

Hey guys, thought I better get back into blogging properly!
Shopping for makeup in America was just amazing! I think my boyfriend got bored very quickly of me dragging him around the shops, but I've never been into a Sephora or Ulta before. OH. MY. GOD. It's like heaven! Everything was so much cheaper too! I loved it and can't wait to go back some day!
Anyway, here's some pictures of what I picked up, I can't wait to get some looks going! And sorry about some crappy photos! It started to get dark really early and my set up space sucked!

 

Shall Not Be Mourned - Shiro Cosmetics Look

Hey Guys!
A friend of mine recently introduced me to Shiro Cosmetics and gave me two little samples of some of the pigments they make. I've never really used pigments before, I've always preffered eye shadows but these colours are just so beautiful! Sometimes it just has to be pigments! The main ingredient of Shiro Cosmetics Pigments are Mica which means the colour payoff is amazing and if you check out the amazing variety of colours available you'll see why it's going to be my latest addiction!
So this is my second look using the pigment Shall Not Be Mourned which is a beautiful dark gold and black colour.

Hallowe'en Look! The Evil Queen / Vampire

Halloween ideas!

Hey guys! I am soo excited that I'll be spending Hallowe'en in America this year!! I love Hallowe'en so I thought I might do a few Hallowe'en inspired looks! I've done a few practise runs so thought I'd show you a few things that will be coming up on my blog!

Dont forget to enter my blog here!

Red ombre lips! Perfect for Evil Queens or Vampires!

Werewolf! Obviously I would block out my brow but it's such a pain in the ass I only half attempted it! Some wolf-like contact lenses would be awesome with this look! I'm too scared to use them!

Pixie/ Fairy Look! Minus some awesome colorful lashes, bright eyeliner and glitter! And My Evil Queen/ Vampire look!

My Evil Queen / Vampire Inspired eye makeup! My favourite! I can't wait to do this one properly with some super intense raven-esque eyelashes!

 

So that's just a few of my ideas! I'll start doing them properly and hopefully get some blog posts out soon! I'm so excited for Hallowe'en! What are people going to be dressing up as?

Disney Series: Aurora's Dress - Sleeping Beauty

Hellooooo! Sorry I've been away from the computer for a while, busy times at the moment!

I'm coming back with a new one for my Disney Series though! I've started running out of ideas so please leave me a comment if you can think of anything! I will tag you in the look that I do! :)

'Gold Smoke' Eye look...

Hey guys,
As you know, I wasn't very well last week so I haven't done any looks recently, so as soon as I started feeling better I was in my makeup chair!
The lighting wasn't fantastic, still getting yellow shadows, but I felt inspired the other night, and really want to use some products I haven't used for a while and play with the new lashes I made! So here's my look :)

Makeup Looks that didn't make the cut...

Hey everyone, I haven't done any recent looks as I've had a cold the last couple of days but I'm looking forward to getting back into it! I've got lots of ideas!

Here's a few pics of makeup looks that I've done that haven't made it onto my blog :) Either I hadn't had enough good photos, or I wasn't happy with the outcome of the final look! If you like any though, leave me a comment below and I'll redo the look and post it up!

Disney Series: Sugar Rush Land from Wreck-It Ralph!

Hellooo lovely people!
I finally have another look ready, wohoo! And lots more in mind that I can't wait to get started on!

I got so excited when Wreck-It Ralph came out on dvd, it's by far one of the best movies Disney has released in ages! I love it! It came out just at the right time too, lined up perfectly with Sleek's Candy Collection! A Sugar Rush look just had to be done!

MAC HAUL!

Hey Guys!
I was going to do just one haul post but it got too big! So here's all the Mac I've accumulated recently!

Rhythm - Lipglass

Haul Time! O.P.I, Collection 2000, Sleek, Benefit...

Hey Guys!

I've been spending plenty of time in Cambridge lately which has given me a great opportunity to go shopping! And my wonderful boyfriend has been making sure I'm keeping up to date with all the latest collections that have been coming out at Mac and Sleek etc!

(I live on the Isle of Wight. It's hard to get anything here!)

Here's some pics of some stuff I've picked up recently!

Disney Series: Shere Khan from The Jungle Book!

Hey Guys, Here's another look from my Disney Collection!
I love doing this collection, it's really nice always finding ideas on what to do and getting inspiration. Whenever I go to sit down at my makeup table, if  I don't have a clear picture in my head of what I want to do, It usually goes horribly wrong!

This looked is based off the tiger from The Jungle Book, Shere Khan. I used to love watching this film as a kid but I haven't seen it in years! This was actually the second look I did from the Disney Series but I didn't like it! I've since redone it and simplified, which is sometimes so much more effective than over complicating things

Disney Series: Mater from Cars!

Hey guys! Sorry it's been so long since I've posted a makeup look! Life gets hectic sometimes, but I've got a few new looks ready to post in the next few days! And here's the latest! Mater!

This one was requested by my boyfriend! I've made him a little Disney crazy lately, my bad! But I love it! His favourite is Cars so he gave me the idea to do Mater!

Disney Series: IAGO!

Hey Guys!
So this is my second look from my mini Disney Series! Not as wearable as Jafar, but I love love love it!
Iago is Jafar's little parrot sidekick from Aladdin and he's pretty frickin' cool!

MY OPI Nail Polish Collection!

I don't think I've ever been more excited to do a post! I LOVE OPI Nail Polish, and at the moment I'm suffering from Glandular Fever so I'm not really up to doing a makeup look, so I thought I'd do a post on my lovely polishes :)

I'm gutted some of the pictures aren't great and SORRY my nails are in such bad condition, where I work it's hard to keep them looking great! And as much as I tried to apply the polish well, for some reason I decided to do it on my right hand, which meant painting with my left?! WHY! So Apologies!

MY O.P.I collection is only 36 polishes at the moment, but I only discovered them 2 years ago, so I guess it's grown quickly!

If anyone wants to see a look using one or some of the polishes then comment below and I'll try and do something with them for you :)

Click on the pictures for a better look!

1 Coat

Start-To-Finish Base and Topcoat - I used 1 coat of this under every swatch, and it is by far the quickest drying base coat I have ever used! Massive Love!

3 Coats

Number One Nemesis -  This one is only a mini, Look how cute it is! I bought a few from The Amazing Spider Man collection, and I have to say, as much as I LOVE Spiderman and O.P.I, I was so disappointed! None of the colours were as nice as I was expecting! On the packaging, it says 'Show your metal in this sparkling nickel.' I would definitely recommend using a base colour and applying this colour as a finish, its much too thin to use on it's own unless you like layering up!

3 Coats

The World Is Not Enough - From the Skyfall collection, I have to say this is another one I'm disappointed in! It's a lot like Number One Nemesis and definitely needs a base colour! Described on the packaging as 'This rosy silver is as addictive as it is beautiful.' I disagree... (good start to a post ehy?!)

2 Coats

Your Royal Shine-ness - Such a beautiful metallic silver! Super super shiny and looks amazeballs. From the Serena Williams Grand Slam England Collection.

1-2 Coats

Alpine Snow - OK I LOVE this white! It looks like tipex which is pretty much what I wanted! I always use it as a base when I do marble nail art and it really makes brights and neon colours pop! It was one of the first O.P.I's that I bought, which would explain why the formula now sucks! Not their fault, mine! It's gotten a bit too thick and I need to thin it out before I use it again properly, but I absolutely love it! From the Soft Shades Collection.

2 Coats





Stranger Tides - From the Pirates of the Caribbean Collection, This is a really weird colour! But I kind of love it... It comes out a little streaky but it makes a really cool base for nail art, using greens and golds. It looks so different under different light, but its a murky, off grey, zombie-esque green! It's pretty awesome... I've never seen another green like it!

2 Coats

Mermaid's Tears - Also from the POTC collection, this is by far one of my favourite colours! If I want to paint my nails but don't know what to do with them, I just reach for this colour. It always gets amazing compliments and if the almost-pastel mint green colour wasn't cool enough, the name will make you want to buy it! Jus' casually walking around with MERMAID'S TEARS on my nails... normal day.

2 Coats

Live And Let Die - turned out to be one of my favourite from the Skyfall collection. It doesn't look that great in the bottle, but as soon as you apply to your nail, the glitter really comes out in the polish! It's the type of glitter you would be able to get away with at work, it just gives it a nice shine instead of being really in your face! It says 'Burn the candles at both ends in this private jet black.' I definitely wouldn't call it jet black, more of a green tone but the gold glitter is definitely reminiscent of a flickering candle!

3 Coats

Just Spotted The Lizard - was the colour I was most excited about it the collection! It pretty much looks like spilt petrol in the bottle but sadly it doesn't show on the nail! Only the greeny-gold colour shows. Described on the packaging as 'Be seen in this reptilian yellow-green' Which I guess does describe the colour the shows up on your nails, just a shame the pretty blue doesn't! :(

2 Coats

 Ogre-The-Top-Blue - From the Shrek Collection, is a bright bubble gum blue! Gives amazing coverage and looks super bright on the nails! Love it!

2 Coats

Last Friday Night - From the Katy Perry Collection is a blue, holo, glitter in a jelly formula. It's definitely only a top coat, but does have a slight blue tinge in the jelly itself. This and Alpine Snow were my first two O.P.I's! Such a pretty glitter, but is a bitch waiting for it to dry!

1 Coat plus OPI Start-To-Finish Top Coat

 Turquoise Shatter - This is a beautiful colour for a shatter! I own a couple of the Barry M ones but they're all very bland! This one had beautiful shimmer in it and with a top coat it looks amazing and shiny! I should've really swatched it over a different colour so it would stand out more buuuut I didn't.



2 Coats

Into The Night - 'This perfect midnight blue was made for prowling.' Pretty much sums up the colour! This for me was the colour I was least looking forward to from The Amazing Spiderman Collection, but turned out to be my favourite! It was the only polish that seemed to apply evenly and didn't disappoint me!

2 Coats



Grape...Set...Match! - From the Serena William's Grand Slam England Collection is super pretty! A dark purple/pink glitter with a lot of sparkle!

 

3 Coats



Rally Pretty Pink - Another from the Serena Grand Slam Collection! I think I was in America when they came out, so picked up a few! This colour inspired my last Eye Look. A really stunning, pinky purple with tonnes of gold shimmer! Looks so beautiful in the sunlight and amazing over a purple polish. 

1 Coat

A Grape Fit! - My go-to purple colour! So simple and so pretty! Easy to apply, amazing formula - only takes one coat for a perfect coverage! Amazing! From the Great Pair Collection.

2 Coats

 Planks A Lot - This is very similar to A Grape Fit! Just a bit more pastel. Still a gorgeous colour but probably easy to find a colour that's pretty much the same for a lot cheaper!

3 Coats

Significant Other Colour - THIS IS AMAZING! I am in love with this colour! It looks amazing on it's own, or over a purple, green, blue or pink base! It looks beautiful and so different over other colours. I need to find a nice yellow and see how it looks over that! It's a subtle lilac with amazing green duo chrome!

 

3 Coats

 Princesses Rule! - My amazing friend got this for me for my birthday! Totally sums her up! Cute, Pink, Shimmery and Girly! From the Princess Charming Collection.

2 Coats - Streaky!

 Your Web Or Mine? - Another from The Amazing Spiderman Collection! This pink is pretty standard. It's pretty, applied nicely but was super streaky! Doesn't really show up in the pics, but unless you're pro at applying polish, it will happen to you too!

1 Coat

 Come To Poppy - From the Nice Stems Collection - really pretty pink! I'm not sure why I bought this one... I'm not really a pink kind of girl but I must have my moments! Amazing coverage, only 1 coat application.

2 Coats

Get Your Glamour On - This colour was designed for Glamour Magazine, I'm not sure why but its soooo pretty! A coral pink, which for me if the only way to go if you're going pink! I don't like being too girly! I think this was one I picked up from TK Maxx, I'm not sure where else I would have gotten one which was only for Glamour Magazine!

 

2 Coats

Love Is A Racket - Another Serena William's Grand Slam colour! I definitely liked them when they came out! I forgot to take a pic of this the other night so quickly did it now! Can't believe I missed one! To be honest I wouldn't mind this colour as a lip gloss! A dark pink packed with the same colour micro glitter.

 

1 Coat - added touch up for chunky glitter!

 The Impossible - This is awesome. The liquid sand texture is pretty strange to me though! I live on an island, so trying to not get sand in your nail polish is something I usually try to avoid! However I do love this bright red colour, and the chunky glitter looks amazing. I love the little stars but they don't seem to want to come out of the bottle and when they do, they don't lie flat on the nail so it doesn't last very long! From the Mariah Carey, Liquid Sand Collection.

2 Coats

 The Spy Who Loved Me - Another from the Skyfall Collection, this one caught my eye! I love the pillar box red with the teeny tiny gold sparkle! Very Unique! Added a blurry picture so you can see the glitter.

1 Coat

 Danke-Shiny Red - From the German Collection, this Ruby Red is amazing! It looks so Royal! Big love for this colour, and only 1 Coat! Very Classy...

1 Coat

Wocka Wocka! - This one is pretty similar to Danke-Shiny Red but a little darker and not as shimmery on the nail. I got this one first, I LOVE The Muppets so couldn't not have anything from the collection! I do also have Pepe's Purple Passion but I've lost it!!! Soo gutted! No Idea where it's gone which is why its not included in this post :(

1 Coat

Every Month Is Oktoberfest - I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS COLOUR! Ohh it's so pretty! Imagine adding a bunch of shimmer to red wine. That's what this is. It looks so beautiful under every light and is the type of colour you can wear at any age, or anywhere. Loooooove this!

2 Coats

Tease-y Does It - This colour is so beautiful. From the Burlesque Collection, it can look very plain in the shade but under any light it shines! It's the colour I use to make my Christmas Pudding nails at Christmas! Works Perfectly!

2 Coats

 

Bronzed To Perfection - From the South Beach Collection, I got this colour is a set with a few other in TK Maxx. It wasn't the one I was most looking forward to getting, but I'm glad I've got it! It's a muddy bronze with gold shimmer and looks amazing with a tan!



 

2 Coats

 

Pros & Bronze - My final one from the Serena Collection... I think! A great mixture of sparkle going on here! A huge array of golds and bronzes! Very eye catching.

 

1 Coat



 

The Man With The Golden Gun - 18 carat gold top coat. I think that says enough don't you? I'm a very lucky girl! My Boyfriend got me this as part of my Christmas present and it's just beautiful! I love it but I don't want to waste it at the same time, dilemma! from the Skyfall Collection.

 

3 Coats

 Golden Eye - 'All eyes will be upon you when you wear this glorious gold.' From the Skyfall Collection, a super glittery gold, which was obviously needed for a 007 collection! Looks amazing over the top of The Spy Who Loved Me, not a colour I would wear alone, coverage isn't that great!

1 Coat plus Start-To-Finish Top Coat

 Gold Shatter - A really pretty colour but I don't really see why it's a shatter?! You can't really see past the glitter to see the pattern it makes, would make more sense if it was a shimmery gold polish rather than being pack with glitter.

2 Coats

Hot & Spicy - From the Hong Kong Collection, this is a beautiful coral-orange. A really pretty, easy to wear creamy colour.

 

I do have a No.36, but I've lost it for the second time! I have no idea where it is but its Pepe's Purple Passion from The Muppets Collection! On the hunt for it now...

 

I may do a collection post on my other Polishes... I have so many Barry M and Nails Inc colours! Will wait and see..

 

Love & Peace! x
