Smoke and Sparkle eyes!

Hi All,

I decided to create a glam, night out look with some of my new make up.

This was what I came up with....For this look I used a NYX jumbo pencil in slate as a base, all over the lid and up in the crease. Then I went over that with loreal colour infalible in midnight blue. I used a MAC 219 to line under my eyes with the same shadow. I then mixed Illamasqua static pigment with ELF's lock and seal to make a liquid and i patted this onto the lid & into the corner of my eye. I then took the MUA undressed palette & used the sparkly black to define the corner V and under my eyes. I then took the midtone brown and with a blending brush I used it to blend away any harsh lines. I took the sparkly champagne colour from the same palette & put that into my tear duct area & onto my brow bone. I then lined my eyes top and bottom with ELF's black cream liner and I put it onto my water line. Then I curled my lashes and used maybeline define-a-lash mascara. On my brows I used Elf's define and lift in ash.
I think this look would look really pretty with pinky nude lips.

I hope you like it?

Any requests?

June Faves...

Sooooooorrrrrryyyy!!! I have been AWOL for ages, I have had things happening in my personal life & I have finished my college course.
Anyway I am back and I will have a few posts to put up over the next few days!

So on to my June faves!

Number 1. Simple face wipes - I adore these, they remove my make up so well but are gentle on my quite sensitive skin.

Number 2. Revlon lip butter in Peach Parfait - So I jumped on the lip butter band wagon and I love love love it!! i'm very into peachy and corally colours at the moment and this one is very pretty. It's natural with a bit of glitter.

Number 3. MUA undressed palette - oh my days!! I love this!! apparently its a perfect dupe for the naked palette, I don't own the naked palette but this is amazeballs! £4, bargain price, amazing pigmentation, gorgeous colours.....buy it!!

Number 4. MUA mosaic bronzer in sunkissed glow - I have had this for ages and wasn't all the bothered but with the summer weather (all 2 days of sun) it seems more appropriate to wear it now. The colour when used with a light hand is really nice, i'm very pale and it looks nice on me, I use the ELF gotta glow highlight on the tops of my cheek bones and these go really nice together.

Number 5. Maybelline Define-A-Lash mascara- As you may know I ADORE Loreal volume million lashes, well this mascara is as good, if not better!! It makes my lashes look super long and defined.

and last but not least my random June fave has been my KOBO ereader, I love it! I am a real book-aholic and I am currently reading the Anita Blake books by Laurell K Hamilton, I am on book 9. Since I have had my ereader I have read the 50 shades trilogy, Beautiful Disaster by Jamie Mcguire (recommended), the first immortals book Evermore & the 9 Anita Blakes books and next i've got the Anne Rice books to read! I really like books that are as far from real life as possible, hence all the vamp, werewolf, mystical type books so if anyone has any book recommendations based on that, please comment below......

Review...Technic Idol Mascara

Hey lovelies!!


If you are in the UK you will have heard of Bodycare?! Well I went on a girly weekend to Scotland last weekend & needed toiletries so I popped in last week & I saw the gorgeously packaged Technic Idol Mascara!!
Isn't it lovely?? and the wand is really unusual & the best bit was it only cost £2.10, So I thought hey what have I got to lose.....

The Pros of this product are, The packaging is LUSH!!! the unusual wand makes it easy to coat even the smaller lashes and its mega cheap!

The cons of this product are, I think it has fibres in that are meant to make your lashes thicker....they are annoying, they make it look like my lashes are falling out and they fall under my eyes. The brush is good but the formula is pretty average, it doesn't curl my lashes, or thicken them, or even really lengthen them.

All in all, i'm disappointed :-( and I think i'm going to stick to my beloved volume million lashes......It does look pretty in my make up bag though! lol

Have you tried this mascara? if so what did you think?

Anyway I would REALLY appreciate it if you all would do a shout out for me or mention my blog on your blogs/youtube channel's? Of course I will happily do the same for you, just put a comment on this post if you would like a shout out.

Bright and wild...Jessie J inspired lips.

Hiya,

So this is the look i created on my second model. She has a very alternative look, with blue hair! So I went a bit wild with her make up, it was so much fun!!


I wanted to match her hair colour with her eye make up, so I used many different tones of blue, from teal tones to a more royal blue. I then lined her bottom and top lashes with a bright purple and added glitter liner over the top. The lashes for this look are amazing, they sweep out at the corners, creating an elongated, cat eye.

I added some jewels at the corners of her eyes.

Then i started on the lips, i mixed two pout paints to make a really electric purple and added purple jewels, in a jessie j inspired lip look.


I really enjoyed doing both of the looks today, it was a real honour being able to make up such beautiful canvas's!
Here are a few more pictures x


Soooo stunning!

What do you think?

Nude but glam!!

Hey lovelies,

Today i had the pleasure of doing two very different looks on two very different models.

The first I did was a neutrals but glam look with MASSIVE lashes!!


I focused alot on creating a glowing and glam look and because of the impact of the big lashes, i decided to go for a nice coral/nude lip.



Isn't my model stunning?

Hope you like?

Hot like fire eye!

Hiya,

Another post from me! I am on a roll! lol

Today I was playing with my reds and oranges and came up with this look....


definitely not an everyday wearable look! but I like it :-)

For this look I used the Sleek bohemian palette and the orange from my curacao palette. I used the nyx jumbo pencil in milk as my base to make the colours pop!

Purple dramatic eye, with Sleek & MUA

Hi guys,

I just wanted to share a very quick eye look I did on a client last week, I used inexpensive products but look at what a dramatic look that can be created.



I used MUA's Poptastic palette & Sleek's curacao palette for this look.

IMATS....Photos and details of the day.

Hey everyone,

So I went to my first IMATS last weekend and we had an absolutely fantastic time! Mostly because of the wonderful company I had!! I met up with a group of girls that I only know through blogging and facebook and it was seriously like I had known them my whole life!! I met sophieSfrancisHarriet1984 and shiningstarmakeup, please check out their youtube channels and blogs as they really are the loveliest ladies!!

So we got to Alexandra Palace and the first thing I thought was it was no where near as packed as I thought it would be! which was good!! We got in straight away and as soon as we walked in we saw this:

How awesome???


Oh and then this.......



So much talent!!

During the day there was various demonstrations and talks going on and walking around were some "creations" who absolutely loved scaring everyone, Sophie literally ran when ever one of them came near us lol!

EEEEEEK!!!!


More EEEEEEK!!!!

There was also a student competition, I couldn't get close enough to get any good photos of the actual show but here is a couple of the contestants...

 How beautiful??


Amazing!!

And here are some of the other beauties we saw on the day.....

This make up artist was at the make up forever stand, she was blowing glitter onto her models leg.

The glittery leg!

The gorgeous ladies at treasure house of make up!

Stunning!!

Wow!!





Some of the art on show!!

So all in all it was a fab day!! It was very expensive and that is my only complaint really, I think we should have at least got some freebies for the price of the ticket! There were some great discounts but the stands with the best discounts were very busy & it was hard to get close enough to have a proper browse!
Oh and next year I am taking a list of what I want because I didn't get stuff I really wanted to get this year.



My new BFF's!!!!!

Did you go to IMATS? if so what did you think?

My Lana Del Ray inspired look :-)

Hey lovelies,

Hope you are all well?

If you haven't heard of Lana Del Ray you must have been living under a rock....Yep shes the new "next big thing", and to top off the mountains of talent she is also gorgeous and has a fabulous style!

So I thought I would have a go at creating my first inspired look, bare in mind she looks nowt like me!! lol

So here it is;

This is the beauty herself.

My ugly mug lol

For this look I used Illamasqua light liquid foundation in LF120, buffed onto the skin with the real techniques buffing brush. I then took the real techniques contour brush and applied the body shop bronzing pearls to the contour of my cheeks. I then took a small blush brush and applied MAC pinch me to my cheeks, I took a fan brush and applied the lightest section of avon's light and luminous, cool shimmers palette for a highlight, i also applied this down my nose and on my cupids bow. Then I took the MUA heaven and earth palette and took the third colour in on the bottom row and placed this on my lids, I took the second colour from the top row & blended that into the area just above my crease, putting the majority of the colour on the outer eye and blending it in towards the nose. I then took the very last colour in the palette and blended that into my crease to add contour and depth. I then took the ELF cream eyeliner in black and my new fave eyeliner brush, its the IB132 stiff brow brush from crown and I made a very thick cat eye styled flick, I then applied the cream liner to my upper water line & about three quarters of the way in on my bottom water line. I curled my lashes added Loreal volume million lashes mascara and some huuuuuuuuuge lashes from superdrug's new lash range, they are the double volume edition 40. 

A close up of the eye.

Then I moved onto the lips! Lana has stunning lips, mine are a bit wonky! lol anyway for the lips I put my MAC studio fix foundation over them to blank out my natural pigment. I then took my nyx auto pencil in hot fudge and drew on my lip line, then i blended that in to lighten in. I then took my sleek pout paint in milkshake, i put the tinniest dot on the back of my hand and blended it in with a nude pink lipgloss, i added this very lightly with my finger, patting it on, the purpose of this is not really to add colour but to slightly warm up the colour already on my lips.

A close up of my wonky lips lol.

I hope you like my first inspired look? let me know if you would like me to do more of these? and if so any suggestions??
