 What seems to be my go to look lately, is Taupe Eyes & Bright Lips. I think I'll be wearing it quite a bit in the winter, although I should have taken advantage of the extra sunshine we have been getting this autumn because it has now turned dreary. Anyhooo.......... enough about the weather, lol.   Eyes: FOA e/s in Jasper  , Nyx JEP black bean for e/l, white pearl for highlight Lips: I actually used hot pink zinc for my lips, lol! It was just sitting there so I dabbed some on, put some Nyx l/g in LaLa over the top and loved it! This look was done soo long ago and I was getting around to posting it one day lol  Eyes: I'm pretty sure I used The Body Shop's Shimmer cubes Lips: Avon Ultra Color Rich Mega Impact Lipstick (phew!! long name) in Really Rosy blotted down    Not the most exciting post but thx for looking :)

 ..::NYX Rouge Cream Blush in Hot Pink & Orange::...  I already own Glow & Natural (As you may know, because I use them alll the time lol), but for as long as I have these I don't think I will be buying any other cream blushes in a long time! So I just hadd to do a review on these 2 babies, I wish I had other brands to compare them to but I think they don't need to be compared to anything else, lol!  These photos here is true to what they look like in the pan. Looks scary, huh? Trust me, if you wanted your cheeks to turn out that colour then you can pile it all on if you could but im not looking to be a clown, haha. I just use a stippling brush, get as little as i can on it and slowly build up to the intensity that I want. This is with one swipe so you can see how pigmented they are, all the flash did was make it look a bit sheerer. Maybe I should have blended them out a bit, I'm not used to doing swatches sorry! lol.  I think these would be great for lipsticks too!...

So a while ago I water marbled my nails for the first time. At the moment I think I'm going through a stage where I want my nails to look nice all the time, that sounds silly I know lol but I've always kept my nails quite long & they've always been healthy & strong but these days whenever they get to a certain length they snap. :( Also I'm having trouble with 2 nails on my left right hand, because I'm using that hand all the time they keep snapping. But this is for another post lol. I just wanted to share some pics of my nails atm! Well I've actually had them like this for almost 2 weeks haha.  Right hand- you can see the nails that are doing badly :( lol  Left hand- Before the cleanup! Apologies for the messyness! lol and that my nails are different lengths. If u want to have a go at this def search water marbling on youtube. There's many great tutorials on it. On the first nail I did, I realized I forgot to do a colour base coat first. But then I ...

So after seeing a beautiful look on makeupgeek I just had to get this palette. It is my first from Wet n Wild and I am definitely impressed lol. Well yesterday when I received this palette I decided that I would have a good at my first picture tutorial and that I would also include swatches. I would love to hear feedback from you guys about everything!!  This Wet n Wild Lust palette comes with 3 matte & 3 glittery shades, the matte being on the left column and the glittery on the right. Here are my swatches of the colours all under Nyx JEP in milk (Yeah I probably should have blended that a bit more lol) Top is flash & macro (which made my hairs stand out more- they're not that dark IRL!) bottom is natural light The shadows are super pigmented & blendable but also feel fragile like they may break easily. As they are so soft they can cause quite a bit of fall out, this is why I have taken to applying my eye makeup first. Here the swatches were with one swipe & obvio...

A few weeks ago at M akeup Geek was an era contest. I decided to go with Brigitte Bardot as my inspiration, so I focused on the winged liner, defined crease, glowy skin & matte lips. What inspired me to go with this look was this photo of Eva Mendes, which incorporated all of these things. However this photo is obviously heavily photoshopped so no way in hell would i be able to get a look anywhere close to this, lol.  Anywhooo here are my pics!!
