Inglot Galaxy Eyes/ New Years Eve | FOTD

Image
 Firstly, I want to apologize for being so absent! I've been a terrible beauty blogger, but the thing that has been setting me back is not being able to access it on my phone. I can look at my blog, but I can't log in and post drafts like I normally do so it's very frustrating. And I'm usually too lazy to get out my computer or if I am using it, I'm doing other things. Anyway, this is definitely not a "of the day" post seeing how this makeup is quite a bit older now, but of course I still wanted to post it! I did this before I got the Vice 2 palette, after seeing a video from Thatgirlshaexo & realizing that I have very similar colours anyway. Now that I have that palette, they are indeed similar but I can still see differences, so I don't feel as guilty for having similar colours. All the colours I needed happened to be in my Inglot palette, but I think it's a very dupable look. Wow on my screen my face looks extremely photoshopped, I can assu...

Affordable Makeup Brushes I have been Loving Lately (M&S Autograph Brushes, Lola, Louise young, W7, Royal Brushes all under £11)

Image
 I just realized that most of the brushes that I have been reaching for lately in my kit are somewhat affordable ( compared to some high end brands). So I though I'll do a little blog post on them. First brush that I am loving is from Marks and Spencer's brand Autograph. To be honest before these brushes came out I didn't have great expectations from them as M&S Autograph (at that time) was not a big name in the makeup industry. But I have to say that Autograph has definitely surprised me and I think ever since I got my hands on Autograph brushes I have been using them almost on daily basis and they are a prominent feature in my makeup kit. The Autograph brushes have synthetic bristles (cruelty free yayee!!) and are incredibly soft. In the picture below is the big powder brush from Autograph. I have compared it to the C309  Jumbo Chisel Powder Brush from EnKore (Crown Brush), although the C309 is slightly flater; I thought it'll give you an idea of size of the Auto ...

Which Is The Best Mascara

Image
"Which is the best mascara?" is a question in every girls mind, but the answer to this question might be different for different people as they might be looking for different results. So what do we want from a mascara? we want it to be lengthening, curling and volumizing.   Unfortunately not all the mascaras will give you all three effects in one. Usually a mascara will either be lengthening, lengthening and curling, lengthening and volumizing or curling and volumizing. So to decide which one is the best for us we need to assess our eyelashes whether they are short, long, straight or naturally curled. If someone who has naturally long and think eyelashes they would need a mascara that would give them a little curl and deeper color. If they go for a lengthening mascara it will only cause the mascara to transfer to their cheeks when they blink as the long lashes will be touching their cheeks when they close their eyes. Anyone with really short and curled lashes should go for a ...

Nyx Lip Liner Collection | Review & Swatches

Image
Lip liners are usually disregarded and I admit I don't use them as often as I should & only if I "need" to, so I don't believe in spending a lot of money for them! I love the Nyx lip liners, because they are so affordable and they have a huge selection of colours. 6 of the Nyx lip liners I have are the slim lip pencil & 1 long lip pencil, honestly I'm not sure what the difference between them are apart from the length of them. I like to buy them on Ebay from Joys Cosmetics because if you buy more than one it becomes cheaper! & I've been buying from them for years & have never had a problem [By the way, she now stocks Real Techniques brushes at a really good price! (N/A)] [L-R] Rose: Peachy Pink, goes nicely with any lighter neutral pink lipsticks. Dolly Pink: Cool toned light barbie pink- Perfect for MAC St Germain or Wet n Wild Dollhouse Pink Pinky: Deep pinky-fuchsia that I use with darker pinks like Maybelline Vivid Rose . Mauve: Natural ...

Whats Your Vice [2]? | Urban Decay Palette Review & Swatches

Image
Although it's been out for a couple of months I have only just got my hands on the Urban Decay Vice 2 palette, which is my first "colourful" one from them! I knew I wanted it ever since i missed out on the first addition last year. It's a bit sad that Urban Decay doesn't ship internationally, and I wasn't sure where else I could get one without going through a mail forwarding service, so when I posted about it on Instagram one of my US followers who I've "known" for a few years offered to buy it & send it over for me, I was so happy! Of course afterwards I found the website www.tarazz.com.au which is basically is a mail forwarding service from Sephora so the prices are different to what you'd find through Urban Decay, and then I didn't realize it was actually on Beautybay which I've used a fair few times! I'll start out with the packaging ... I absolutely love the design of this case with the hard, sturdy plastic cover with ...

How to perfect your lipstick | Pictorial

Image
 Sometimes just chucking on a lipstick isn't going to cut it, especially with some formulas that like to make their way over your face, or does that just happen to me? I've found that applying my lipstick this way, using different lip liners & doing it in different layers helps it to stay put & last a lot longer, too. This is not something that I do everyday but when I have time & I'm wearing a bolder lip colour I like to spend a bit more on the lips. 1. Line just outside of your natural lip line with a lip liner that is close to your natural colour if you prefer a fuller lip. Tip: If you're going for a nude lip, use a colour slightly darker than your lipstick. 2. Apply your lipstick of choice. It doesn't matter if you don't cover up the liner completely as we'll be going over that again. Make sure to really press your lips together to work the lipstick in. Tip: Use a lip brush with the first coat which helps the lipstick to press into the crease...

Spring Fling Makeup | FOTD

Image
 Hey guys I apologize profusely for the lack in posts lately! I was relying on my phone to post my drafts as I wanted to but it's still not allowing me to log in, and I've barely had any time to get on the computer properly lately :/ But anyway, I feel like I've barely worn any typical spring makeup as it has taken a while for the weather to change from cold & miserable but when we get a warm day, it gets hot! Because of the slow transition I've been doing whatever I feel like with my makeup, but I do have a few products I've been saving particularly for spring that I haven't gotten good use out of but I can still carry them into summer. And in case you're wondering, this isn't a Spring Fling look as so (that's a school event in the US or something, right?) but it's one of my favourite ways to wear spring appropriate makeup!   ~Products~ -For foundation I used Loreal True Match, Milani Luminoso on the cheeks, Nars Laguna bronzer & MAC P...
