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.

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.

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??

EOTD - Smokey green & bronze.

Hey everyone,


So I may not have been doing blog posts much but I have been taking photos of my eye of the day for you still :-) lol

Here is an eye of the day from last week.


I used a bronze cream eyeshadow by elf as my base, the dark green in the MUA glitter ball palette on my lids, then the lighter brown in the same palette in my crease, I used the darker brown to define the crease and to line my lower lashes. I then lined my top, bottom lash lines and my water line with Avon supershock liner in steel and I used my fave mascara, volume million, after curling my lashes.

Hope you like it? Does anyone have any requests for colours or styles of make up looks you would like to see?

My New Years Eve Look - Better late then never??

Hey everyone,

Sorry sorry, I haven't done a blog post in ages again! Its been pretty manic here, hope you can forgive me?

Anyway, here is the look I rocked on new years eve, even though we didn't go out & I was wearing my slippers! LOL.

I like to call this look Glitz, Glam and Lashes :-)

The lashes were rubbish & ended up coming off within an hour lol

Lots off fallout from the glitter :-/ 

The full face......

What do you think of this look? I used cosmetic glitter, but even so when I woke up in the morning my eyes were a bit sore. But it was a very fun look & one I will definitely try again in different colours.

Have you created any glittery looks? If so post the link below, i'd love to see them.

Blink & go FOTD

Hey everyone,


as promised here is my face of the day using the blink and go palette!

I dyed my hair too what do you think?

too dark??

On my face I used ELF foundation in sand, I primed my lids with ELF eye primer, then I packed on the shimmer white in the blink & go palette, I then took the purple & blended it in the outer V & my crease, I then took the white again & put it as a highlight on my brow bone, then i took the light gold colour & blended out the the purple with it, then I took the pink and added a bit to my crease, i then went back to the purple & added more to my crease for definition. Then I took a small angled brush & put the purple on my lower lash line, I took the white again & put that on my tear duct area. I then took a shimmery purple liner from ELF & put that on my upper & lower lash lines. I then took urban decay 24/7 liner, in brown & put that on my water line. I used ELF double ended mascara for my lashes. I used the HD palette on my brows.

On my cheeks I used a light pink blush & then took the coral colour from the blink and go palette & put that on my apples of my cheeks.

I finished with a nude liner & lipstick from avon & added MAC dazzle glass to the centre of my lips to plump them up a bit! I then powdered with ELF HD powder.

I hope you like!? Any suggestions for other looks you would like to see?

Ok so I gave glossybox one more chance!!

Hey everyone!


As you can probably gather from the title, I got another glossy box! I had a bad experience with their shocking customer services & vowed never to get one again, but my friend went to the clothes show & got a code for a free box, & hey free IS free! So I ordered one.....and I am so glad I did!!!

The December box is AAAAAHHHHMMMMAAAZZZIIINNGG!!! This months box is red! which is really pretty!! and everything in it I am so so happy with! I got a FULL sized rituals shower gel, which I used in the shower this morning and its the most gorgeous shower gel i've ever tried, it smells lush & made my skin so so soft!! I also got a FULL sized Blink and Go palette, which is awesome, the colours are really pigmented & shimmery, I love it!! I got a mini nail polish by Deborah Lipman, in razzle dazzle which is a really pretty glittery red! I got a stunning lipgloss from Cargo, which is so so sparkly & looks gorgeous on! and last of all I got a sample of Bionova eye cream, which ive used for 2 days and I really like!

I am really sorry that I haven't taken pictures but I was too excited to use everything and this is the first box I have had that I have tried EVERYTHING in it already! 

I am going to do my face of the day next which uses the blink & go palette I got so look out for that!

If you haven't already got your glossybox this month definitely get it!! and if you have got it, what did you get in your box??
