Konad Nail Stamps!

I first saw Konad Nail Stamping when Xsparkage reviewed it on YouTube and ever since I've wanted one! Why it took me so long to get it I don't know!
I bought this last week and I've tried it out a couple of times but still haven't completely got the hang of it, just messing about and seeing what I can do with it at the moment really.

I bought mine off Amazon but It's available from ebay and obviously their own site too. This set cost me £16 and it's totally worth it! The nail varnishes smell a lot like tippex (not a bad thing) and they're a lot thicker than a normal varnish and dry super quick! But still wait a little while before you put on a top coat in case it smudges! 

This is my second attempt...

I haven't cleaned it up in this picture (obviously) and it was only my second time using the stamps so it's not great! The only thing that's a little bit tricky is trying to get the stamp in the right place, I think it's going to take a little practise!

I can't wait to do some more looks with the stamps! I already have my eye on some new plates and varnishes...

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

E.L.F HAUL!!!

I am sooo happyyyyyy!!! Totally wasn't expecting to get it today! It's taken so long!! But finally I've gotten my E.L.F makeup :D

Some of the bits are my mums but I will review some of the other stuff :) Maybe not all of it, but I will mention it in my blogs :)

I've already done one look using the products, will post it up later today. So far, loving E.L.F!

Blue Smokey Eye

This to me is my 'John Smith' look. I got my inspiration for the colours from Pocahontas. John Smith's uniform was mainly greys and blues so I used those colours to create this look.

I used a eyeshadow duo in Star Light from color trend, Avon and my Sleek Storm Palette,  using the grey and dark blue. Also from the Acid Palette by Sleek I used a little of the blue's just to make it a little brighter.

I decided that I didn't think it was blue enough so I added blue kohl eyeliner just under the outer half of my eye, totally made this look, I love it!

And because I seem to take so many of them, here's my stupid face!

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!
