Nail Art

I bought the new nail art pen/brush from Model's Own and I can't stop using it! It's so much fun! I haven't used the pen bit yet, which is basically like a dotting tool, but i have been using the brush. It's a lot thinner and longer than a normal brush which is perfect for making designs.

I'll upload a few photos, some might be bad quality if i've taken it on my phone, Sorry!

I've also been playing around with my shatter varnishes, trying to see if there's anything I can do with them that looks kind of cool and so far all I've come up with is this!



for some reason it's flipped! sorry I don't know how to put it back!

I thought it looked quite cute :) a 'shattered heart'. The only other thing i've done is, i've done a rainbow base and then put shatter over the top. Very easy and looked really good!

hope you like some of the designs :) leave me a comment if you do, much appreciated!

UV eyeshadows? AWESOME!

NOW I LOVE SLEEK EVEN MORE! This is unreal! Sleek's i-divine Acid palette includes some neon colours... which glow under UV light! I'm so glad i got my UV light out to see if it actually worked, they look amazing!

The Acid palette includes 4 super bright, neon colours (the main reason why i bought the palette!) On their own they look amazing! And as i found out last night, they also look pretty darn good in UV lighting...

I am in LOVE. The other colours in the palette down glow quite so much but the purple and the raspberry pink give these neon shades a run for its money. I was wearing the purple shade last night so thought I'd try it out and it looked awesome!

My face looks AWFUL! Haha! But yeah, here you can see how bright the purple goes! Under UV it's more of a hot pink which is really cool!

Whilst i had my UV light out i did try ALL my other make-up to see if anything else glowed but no such luck apart from a neon yellow stargazer nail polish and a couple of lip glosses which turned a whitey-orangey colour...a bit weird.

This is my stargazer nail polish under the light. I was messing around with a few designs...didn't really like them much but the shattered hearts are cute :)

I am so excited about having UV sensitive makeup! I can't wait to do some looks! Will post some as soon as i do :)


Love, Peace & UV x

A few things i picked up in town...

I went into town last week with my sister and couldn't resist picking up a few new things to try.

I got Models Own nail art pen which is AMAZING! Been using it ever since i got it and it's soo much fun! Also i made some dotting tools (have no money at the moment!) and they are amazing! All you need to make some are a couple of pencils with rubbers on the end and different size pins! There's loads of tutorials and things online showing you how to make them, definitely check it out if you're into nail art :)

I've also been looking for a bright pink lipstick and found the perfect one from Barry M! Seriously, it's like barbie on steriods! It's crazy bright and will definitely be wearing it in some tutorials coming up!

And last, I really want to get my skin looking flawless so i've picked up some face masks to try out. I got 4 which i'll try out over the course of about 2 weeks and they all say they do different things like deep pore cleansing, smothen the skin out and so on, so I will post a review on them once i've finished. So far I'm half way through! So will probably post something in about a week and a half.

That's it, once i've done some nail art i'm proud of, i'll upload some pictures and will do some more makeup looks soon :)

MUA make-up looks

Basically just a few looks using the make-up i got from MUA (all in previous post) but to recap:
eye dust shade 3
eyeliner shade 1
glitter eyeliner shade 8

I also used a black and shimmery blue/green from Sleeks Storm palette. But that's pretty much it.

Love & Peace

MUA Haul

I can't remeber how but i heard of a makeup company called MUA and the whole range was only £1! I got myself a few bits and pieces and here's a run down of what i thought :)

I'll go left to right...

To Start... Eyeliners!
The colours of both the eyeliners are lovely and very bright. However, The brush on the green liquid liner is like a stick! It's quite painful trying to put it on so you have to try and work with the brush otherwise it will cause a little bit of pain. I did get comments on how lovely the colour of my eyeliner was though! So i guess it's worth it. The glitter eyeliner in shade 8 is a gorgeous emerald green colour and looks lovely with the eyeliner i got in green.




quick swatches. (top-bottom) both together, glitter eyeliner, eyeliner

Next.... The eyedust.
I am in love. I wish they did more colours! If you wear it dry and just apply with a  brush you'll get a lovely glistening light green shade. If you mix a little in the lid with a drop of water it turns into an electric green paste which it very bright and very long lasting! And the smallest amount is needed to get this effect! (I have done a makeup look using this, will add it later) Will definitely be getting other shades, this one is shade 3 and you get loads in a pot! £1? Bargain!

Lipsticks...

I've been searching for a really nice light pink lipstick and thought I'd finally found what i've been looking for, until i put it on. It comes out a lot more sheer than i was hoping! However still a lovely colour and if you layer it up it does make a nice light pink but I want one where I can get it effortlessly.



I got them in shades 4 and 1 (1 being red, 4 being pink)
They both look very nice on and for a pound i don't think you can really complain! also, in the bottom there is a little pot of lipgloss of the same colour! I thought that was a fantastic special touch! I do like to layer gloss over lipstick and trying to find colours which match can be a bit tricky sometimes, so this made my life a lot easier!

Swatches below :)

Last but not least... blush and lipgloss.

The colour of both of these on the website were very different to what i actually got.

On superdrugs website, shade 4 of the lipgloss was very pink (i thought it would match the lipstick) but i was very wrong when i got it! It's much more a peachy colour with gold shimmer. Very nice, but wasn't what i was expecting. It isn't sticky which is great and doesn't have a cheap smell to it, it's actually quite fruity which i love.

The blush is a lot darker than what i was expecting. I like pink blush and that's about it really so when shade 3 turned up i got a bit scared! Its got a light shimmer in it and is a musky pink which if applied lightly looks ok, but applied like a normal blush and you'll look like you've painted it on.

All in all, if used correctly these products can be amazing and for £1 it's definitely worth checking out. I'm going to be purchasing some more eye dusts because i'm totally in love with the green one! Can't wait to check out some more of those and also some of the eyeshadows :) Hopefully i've been helpful!

Love & Peace xx

My Current Favourites...

I haven't done one of these before but it looks kind of fun. Basically just a collection of things I'm loving at the moment and the things i use the most :)

1. The Acid i-divine palette by Sleek.
I was watching a tutorial by xsparkage and she used this palette, she then said it was from the uk. I had to get it! And i am so pleased i did! The neon colours are amazing for doing some really cool tutorials but also the other colours are so well pigmented! I use this palette almost every day and it still doesn't look like I've used it! At £6.49 it's a bargain!

2. Barry M nail paint in Lemon Ice Cream.
This colour is perfect for summer! Everyone seems to be going yellow this season and i jumped on the wagon and got this. It isn't overly bright, it's quite a pastel colour actually which is really nice. It means you can wear it on it's own and it looks very femenine or you can team it with a more mustard colour varnish and make it really stand out. Barry M colours are also really good for marbling, they don't dry out too quickly and the colour holds really well.

3. MUA - make-up academy.
I can't remember where i heard about this company but i did and I'm very glad about it! apart from their professional range, every item is £1!!! Amazing? I think so.
It's available from superdrugs but not all of them, so i had to order it online. I didn't want to spend more than £10 and P&P was £3, but it still meant i'd get 7 items!
The photos on superdrugs website, for some of the items, weren't very true to life so I'd definitely check out of reviews to see the products a bit better!

4. Posietint from Benefit.
I got this and the benetint as freebies from a magazine (went to every newsagents to find them!) and i'm so glad i got them! Posie tint is defintely my favourite though! Tints can usually feel quite dry however this one didn't which i was very happy about and the colour is gorgeous!!! It's such a bright girly pink! Totally in love with it!

5. Bronzing stack from Ruby and Millie
Boots online has a 75% off sale on all Ruby and Millie items so i thought I'd get my hands on a few things. To be completely honest i didn't like any of the other products i got apart from this!
It's 3 little palettes which all stack up on top of each other which is really cute. On top is a cream highlighter and contour colour which are both lovely, on the bottom is a flat bronzing brush and in the middle is the bronzer. I've never really been a fan of bronzer but for some reason i really like this one! It doesn't make me look like i've been tangoed and it just makes you look like you've got a natural sunkissed look.

6. Storm i-divine palette by Sleek.
Last but not least, is my other palette from Sleek.
I ordered this along with my acid palette on a bit of a whim and i'm so glad i did. I use it every day! All the colours are totally gorgeous to be honest, they all go well together! You can get so many looks just from this palette, for £6.49 it is soo worth it!
As soon as i put some money in the bank i'm going to be getting their latest palette which is curacao. The colours in it looks stunning and so bright! The only thing that miffs me a little is that they put a black in them all! Apart from that, I can't complain! I LOVE SLEEK!
