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!

Urban Decay Electric Palette Look!

Hey guys!
I'm sorry I've been gone for a while, I've had a lot of hours at work lately and it's completely tired me out! I've had this look in my back pocket for a while and I absolutely love it! I needed to put it up asap - I'm just annoyed asap took so long!
Anyway here's the look, a bit picture heavy! I hope you like it :)

Fall / Autumn Inspired EOTD!

Hey guys! Seeming I've not done a lot of makeup looks lately, I thought I better post another! This one was inspired by all the amazing fall pictures I've been seeing on Instagram lately! I love this time of year, and I love autumnal colours, so here's a lil' look I've done, hope you like it!

Hallowe'en Look! The Evil Queen / Vampire

Hello guys! It's been so long since I've posted a look! I was going to leave it another day as I feel rotten but I couldn't do it! I need to post my first Hallowe'en look! (a little excited...)


So here's the first look for you guys, my version of an Evil Queen / Vampire Queen!

New Hair! Back to Blonde!

Helloooo! Ok, I've been a bit MIA recently! Where I work, We have just had a refit and I've been working my ass off trying to make up all the hours I've missed whilst we've been closed! Although it closed at a great time, right over the Bestival weekend! WOHOO! I also went and go my hair done! I've been wanting to go back to blonde for a while now and I always said I'd be blonde for our holiday (to Florida in a month!) which I'm really excited about! So, here's my new look!

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!

Happy Endings...

Hello blogging world! Wow this is weird, I haven't done it in so long! I don't want to bore you with why I haven't blogged in ages but I basically lost all motivation and people brought me down. However, It's a new year and I have beautiful people in my life that make me smile and give me the encouragement I need to pursue my love of makeup! I feel like a very lucky girl!

Seeming I haven't done a makeup look in so long for you guys, I thought I'd start the year with one! I haven't really done them recently because I haven't had a decent camera but my wonderful boyfriend has kindly lent me his! Isn't he a sweetie...

I couldn't be happier with the quality of the pictures! I'm so fussy when it comes to lighting etc that it's nice I can relax so much with a camera! Please Click on the pics for a better look! They look amazing, I hate how they come up so small on here!

 



I've fallen in love with an OPI nail polish called Rally Pretty Pink, which is a gorgeous pinky, purple shimmer with a golden duo chrome, I would of uploaded a picture of it but it's a bitch to photograph so apologies! Anyway, my look is basically based on that polish, which I thought might be a cool idea for a makeup series? Corresponding makeup to your favourite nail polish... what do you guys think? (that's if anyone reads this! If you're like me, you just look at the pictures!)

 

 

 

 

The shadows are all a bit of a mix really. I started with Urban Decay PP, NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk and then patted on the purple shade from the Sleek Idivine Acid palette all over my eyelid and blended it out with MUA's shade 18. To draw attention to the centre of my eye I used Highness from Sleeks Ultra Matts V2 palette in the outer and inner corners of my eye and also lightly in the crease and blended out on my lower lash line. This alone looks amazing, but I love a bit of sparkle so I added UD's Half Baked to the centre of my eyelid and slightly blended it out. To Finish off I used Pillow Talk from Sleek's V2 palette as a brow highlight, UD's Perversion eyeliner pencil and Mac's black lash Push Lash mascara.

I didn't really know what to do with my lips so I went GOLD! I started with Natural Nymph from ELF, then applied a clear lipgloss and patted on Urban Decay's Half Baked eyeshadow. Finally I added Fairy Cake lipgloss from Butter London and lips are done. PS: WEIRD uploading a photo of my lips. I hate them!

 

 



And that is that! Look done :) I forgot how much I LOVE playing around with makeup and trying new things! I've recently bought loads from Urban Decay (fallen in love <3 again!) and can't wait to try out the Glinda Palette!

I think I'm gonna do a quick post from my phone at some time, just to show you all the looks I've done and stuck on instagram (soo lazy) because I really loved some of them! But I'm definitely going to start photographing them properly for you guys!

I hope you like it and can't wait to do another look! Please let me know what you think by writing a comment below :)

Love as always! x

E.L.F make-up look

I was overly excited this morning when I got my order from E.L.F and had to do a look! I've been playing all day and so far I love pretty much everything!
Not really keen on the lip primer and plumper but I've only used it once so will wait and see if it can change my mind. Also, I know everyone raves about it but so far I haven't seen what was so great with the HD powder. But once again will wait and see, only used it once :)

So, here's my look!

The only products I used that wasn't E.L.F was my Mac mascara, max factor foundation and The dark green eyeshadow which is MUA.

Out of  everything my favourite buys are probably the mineral infused face primer, all over colour stick in spotlight, powder brush and the contouring blush and bronzing duo. Now I haven't used everything yet so these are my favourites so far! The primer is so thick that you don't even need to use a whole pump of the stuff, it goes a long way and makes your skin really smooth. The colour stick is perfect for highlighting, the brush is incredibly soft and the contouring duo is perfect! The shades are just right for a blush and contour.



For some reason my camera didn't want to pick up the colours of my eyeshadows but it's much greener in real life!


On my eyes I used all the colours from the smokey eyeshadow palette apart from the purple and the waterproof eyeliner pen (which works really well) I also got the bamboo blending eye brush but I'm not overly excited about this. It's very light (bamboo, duh) which makes it a bit harder to use if that makes any sense?! But it also seemed to eat my eyeshadow! I put quite a lot on the brush and got very little off. (This is just first impressions, may completely change my mind later on!)

On my lips I used the primer and plumper, so far not too sure on this... will report back. I also used the lip stain in Fashionista. The colour is beautiful but I ate my dinner and poof, it had all vanished. Being a lip stain I thought it might hold a bit better but no such luck, however I did put primer and plumper on first so maybe that didn't help! Will try it again without.

Overall I am thrilled with my purchases from E.L.F and I cannot wait to get some more things! I've already started up a wishlist and will definitely be getting my friends presents from here in the future!

I hope you like the look and just because I have to, here's my stupid face. Peace x

Shimmery Smokey Eye

Just a very quick post about a smokey eye look I did about a week ago. Totally loving the smokey eye look at the moment and trying to see how many ways I can jazz it up!

This one was done using my Sleek Storm palette, using the shimmery blues mainly. I know Having an all over shimmer eye can be a bit overwhelming but with this colour combination it looked pretty good! And I was out at night as well so it was a lot harder to notice!

I kept the rest of my face very simple and neutral. When I have a lot of colour on my eyes I don't like doing too much on the rest of my face! I feel like it can be way too much sometimes! I'm not very adventurous with lip products but I've ordered a few from E.L.F to try and get me into it! Also I really want to get the paint pots from Sleek which are a bit like the lip tars from OCC. They look amazing! cannot wait until they're on sale!

Also, my stupid face! I think this is going to be a reoccurring thing... I seem to always take a photo of myself looking like a muppet. So here it is! Also, You can see my colourful manicure! Is a bit of a funny one but it looked kind of cool, I just seemed to of run out of ideas on what to do with them that day!

Anyway, that was that. Was meant to be a quick blog, took a bit longer than expected!
Love & Peace x

MUA eyeshadows

I was SO excited when I saw that my superdrug stocked MUA! It didn't have much stuff left so I just grabbed a few eyeshadows and WOW are they amazing!

These were the only colours left, they had some nude/white's but I wasn't overly keen so I went for these beauts.




shade 8 (pearl), shade 18 (matte), shade 6 (pearl)

I love love LOVE shade 8! It's such a beautiful colour! These together would make a great mermaid look! For only £1 you'd think that something would be wrong with them... but there's nothing. The pigmentation is fantastic and there's hardly any payoff, slighly more in the pearls than the matte but there's hardly any eitherway.

I am definitely going to go and get some more of these, they are amazing. 10/10!

Simple Seduction...

I usually do a lot of make-up looks using bright eyeshadow, mainly because it's so much fun! But I thought I'd tone it down and do a more glam, posh, bridal type of makeup look. I recently bought some new eyelashes so I also just wanted to try them out! They're from Eyelure (number 116 I think) and I'm in love with them! The only downside is the glue sucks! They're very easy to get off which means there's not much stick to them. Definitely wouldn't trust it for a night out! Invest in some duo glue, or another one which you like and these lashes will look amazing! :)

 Keeping it simple... You don't need a lot of colour to look glam. For my eyes I've done a slightly shimmery, brown smokey eye (using Storm palette from sleek) and applied a very thin line of eyeliner to my lash line. To finish I applied mac plush lash mascara and eyelure no.116 eyelashes.

Believe it or not, I've actually lightened my eyebrows by filling them with a medium brown eyebrow pencil (my eyebrows are usually more black even though I'm blonde!)
On my cheeks I've used Maybelline Dream Mousse in Mauve (no.4) and highlighted using a shimmer & shade palette from Collection 2000. To finish i used a matte translucent powder.

For my lips I used MUA lipstick in shade 4 with a clear gloss on top, I think it was Este Lauder (Did this look a while a go)

And I think that was about it :) Hope you like it
Love & Peace x

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
