Jerome Russell, HELP!!

I need some help please! I saw a blog post earlier (now I can't find it!) and she had highlighted her hair using the Jerome Russell Highlighting Kit. I went out and bought it today, came home, did the patch test and after about a minute it started to tingle and burn for about 30 seconds. It went a little bit red at the same time but 5 minutes later its absolutely fine! Completely gone back to normal!
I did the same behind my other ear and the same thing happened, I applied it to the inner crease on my elbow and I had no problem (this is the other place you're usually told to put it)

What do i do? Do I use it to dye my hair or not? I can try and do it without it touching my scalp? Ahhh! HELP PLEASE!!!

much love xx

E.L.F's Teal Nail Varnish

This has got to be my current favourite nail colour! It's soo pretty! And I got it for 75p!!! (ELF's 50% off discount)

It does take about 3 coats to get a good cover but it's totally worth it and so long lasting! The bottles are quite a big size, It doesn't say on the bottle and I threw the box it came in away but I'd say it was about 10ml, so the same as Barry M polishes.

It's a gorgeous green colour that looks lovely just on it's own like this, but also is fantastic for using in marble nail art. It dries quick on the nail but in water it doesn't dry as quick so you still have time to do some cool patterns.

After a few days of having it just as it is, I went over the top with the Matte nail finisher from ELF which makes it look even better!! I am hooked on this stuff! I apply it over all my nail varnish just to see what it looks like and I always love it!

This is it with the Matte finisher on over the top, it basically takes away any shine or glossy finish. I also stamped on a few pretty white flowers which looks really cute :) I did this using my Konad Stamps, which are fantastic!

I realised that I hadn't done a nail art post in a while so I thought I better! I have another one ready to upload as well :) Will most likely do it later today.

Hazy Hazel....

My mum ordered herself an eyeshadow quad from E.L.F and I was a bit jealous when I saw it! The colours looked so gorgeous! I asked her if I could borrow it (I think she was expecting that!) and so this was my look yesterday :)

I love how it makes my eyes look so bright! So in love with this little quad! I think this look would work perfect day or night and having the 4 colours all together it's perfect for sticking in your bag if you ever needed a little touch-up.

The colours are so pretty! A few shimmers and the dark brown is a gorgeous matte and it's soo pigmented! I was really impressed! I didn't get myself any because I thought the colours weren't going to be that great (seeming it was only £1.50!) but they're lovely! The purple isn't very bright, thought it was going to be a more vibrant colour, but wasn't vibrant enough for me! So today I added a little urban decay Late Night over the top which looked lovely!

I used just a matte white eyeshadow from Rimmel as my highlighter, the glorious waterproof eyeliner pen from E.L.F (can't rave about it enough!) and Mac's Plush Lash Mascara, as always!

Love this look! Very Simple but looks so good! Really pleased with it, will definitely be purchasing it for myself and also some others! If there's any you can recommend then please do!

Nicki Minaj Bed Rock inspired look

So, my friend is going to the Bestival this year dressed as Nicki Minaj and I said that I would do some make-up looks to suit her look. She wants to go as Nicki Minaj from the Superbass video but the Bed Rock look was much more colourful and I couldn't help myself! I had to give it a go! So, this is my take on Nicki Minaj :)

My look isn't exactly the same as you can tell! It's a lot softer than Nicki Minaj's but my friend isn't keen on wearing a lot of color! So what I've done is kept it mainly on the eyes and just used a light pink on my lips and cheeks. 

I used  a new eyeshadow palette which I got the other day and so far I'm loving it! It's the poptastic palette by collection 2000 and cost just under £5! I also used waterproof eyeliner pen from E.L.F and MAC Plush Lash mascara.

I've got so many different palettes and single eye shadows though that it's starting to annoy me, having to go through them all! So I'm thinking of de-panning them and putting them all into a larger palette, not sure though - what do you guys think? Good idea?

And once again... my stupid face :)


Gotta love the stupid face!

Just a little note: The eyeliners on my hand has been on all day, was checking to see how well they lasted, The one which is still going strong is the waterproof eyeliner pen from E.L.F! It's amazing!!!

Love & Peace x





E.L.F eyeliner review!

It's taken me a while to realise I need to review my products!! I said i would in my E.L.F haul post so I guess I should!

I bought so much (2 orders in 2 weeks amounting to £100!!) that I'm going to have to do it in sections! Starting with Eyeliners!

Waterproof Eyeliner Pen. 

This one I was most worried about, I've tried a few eyeliner pens in my time and I've hated all of them! I even sent the Bourjois one back it was so bad! However my faith has been restored! I've wanted one for ages so I can do some intricate detail and this is perfect! I've had it about a month now and it hasn't dried up, still works as well as it did the first time I used it, and the staying power is incredible! For £1.50 I am super impressed!

Applying takes a little longer than with a liquid eyeliner but it's a lot easier to get the perfect shape and wing. It's a matte black & even works on the waterline! I will do swatches of the products at the end.
 Cream Eyeliner - Midnight.

I already have a black gel eyeliner so I thought I'd go for a slightly different colour, not having a navy eyeliner (and regretting it) I thought I better pick one up. So far, I'm not overly impressed. I was expecting it to be like a gel eyeliner but It really is more of a cream. The staying power isn't fantastic and being a cream you can't really brush it on because it just moves! if you did one coat it would look OK, if you went over with another it wouldn't apply more product, it would take away what you've already applied! 

The colour is lovely and although I'm not a fan of using it as an eyeliner I'm sure it would make a nice eyeshadow base for dark colours, will have to give it a go! At £3.50 (one of the more expensive products!) It's still a good price, but I prefer the cheaper eyeliners E.L.F has to offer!

Brightening Eyeliner - Black.

Another bargain at £1.50! (sorry not photo for this one) A very simple black eyeliner which easily glides on without hassle. The colour isn't extreme black but for under the lower lashes on a smokey eye it looks lovely. It works well on the waterline but again, the colour isn't great. I'm still in search of a perfect black eyeliner! However, at the moment this is my go to eyeliner for my waterline, it's not too dark that it makes my eyes look smaller but has enough colour to make my look appear complete.

Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil - Twinkle Teal & Plum Passion

Hello new favourite thing in the world! I love this product!! For a start, the pencil sharpener in the lid is a life saver! I am prone to losing my sharpeners so this is just fantastic!!

The colours these eyeliners come in are so beautiful! I Think I must have picked the most adventurous colours too! They slide on very easily and the colour is gorgeous! Not as bright as shown on the website however but with a little helping hand I'm sure I could get them there! For shimmer eyeliners which glide on so smoothly the staying power is pretty impressive. You can wear it out all night and be sure to find it exactly where you left it when you went out! It's blendable to begin with but will dry out a little & if you don't remove it properly you will get left with a colourful stain! And once again, for £1.50, how could you say no?

Swatch time!

Ignore the Blue eyeliner swatch at the bottom! All will become clear in another post...

Purple Daze... Updated Photos!

At the moment I'm trying to use all of my new E.L.F products to see what they're like! This is my latest :)

updated photo, better lighting!

I was using the smokey eye makeup palette, from the beauty school collection. I've got to say out of all my products from this purchase, I think this was my least favourite and most expensive! Some of the colours are so packed with glitter that it made it very difficult to actually get any colour! The black is a gorgeous smokey charcoal, not so pigmented that you have to be scared with how much you use! My favourite colour out of them all is the dark grey, its got a pearl finish and is fantastic for making a smokey eye!

 

To line my eyes I used the waterproof liquid eyeliner pen. I've had a few eyeliner pens in the past and I haven't liked any of them! They've dried up quickly and have been difficult to use; however, I love this one! So far it hasn't dried up which is great, and its super easy to apply. Perfect if you wanted to do some intricate detailing, will definitely be getting it out at halloween for doing some spiderwebs!

On my lips I've used Fashionista Lip Stain and on my cheeks, Blush in Pink Passion and All Over Colour Stick in spotlight (as a highlighter)

So that's that :) Please let me know if there's any E.L.F products you like! I'm always keen to try new things! Bought some more from their site the other day, will do a haul blog later

Love & Peace x
