Glossy Eyes & Berry Lips

BEAUTY
September 9 2011

This is a look that i’ve been longing to sport ever since I saw it on a model some time ago!  It’s the glossy eye, achieved by using a flesh coloured eyeshadow swept across the lid, and a few dabs of vaseline! Ah-mazing huh? I thought a berry lip would compliment the look, so I mixed two of my favourite plum lipsticks to get this shade.  I hope you give it a go! 🙂 Products Used.. Face MAC Match Master Foundation, 7.0 MAC Studio Finish Concealer, NC45 MAC Studio Careblend Powder, Medium Deep Sleek Face Contour Kit Sleek Pan-Tao Blush… Read More »

Nice, Mavala. ( + Half Moon Nails Tutorial)

BEAUTY
July 25 2011

I was doing my routine nail polish change and thought to do something a little different. I had seen a few photos of Rihanna and some others sporting this Half Moon Nail Look, and I wanted to try it. It’s my first time, so it’s not as perfect, but I still like it. I filmed a tutorial of how to do it, just in case you wanted to give it a go! 🙂 This polish is a lovely orangey/red from Mavala. I love the texture, and applying it was simple and fuss free! At only £2.99 a bottle, I’d say… Read More »

Cobalt Touch.

We’re all used to the usual Black Eyeliner, but why not switch it up with a bit of colour? There’s a genius way of doing this… Spray some MAC Fix + on an Angled Eye liner Brush, then Dip it into any colour you want (I used a Cobalt Blue) and line those eyes! I filmed this one in collaboration with Klaire De Lys, who’s a lovely youtuber! I hope you enjoy! xo What I used… ~ Face ~ Foundation : MAC Face + Body (C7) (Sleek Foundation Brush)Powder : MAC Mineralise Skin Finish Natural (Dark) Concealer : MAC Studio… Read More »

New Haircut.

Thanks mum. I feel like I’m finding myself. You know that feeling when you realise what makes you tick and all that jazz. I was looking at some of my old posts and videos (from 2 years ago..) and was thinking about how different a person I was compared to who I am now. Growth. I initialy just needed a trim and decided (spur of the moment) to get a little bit more off. I like it. 😉 Off to see Michelle later in the city, I’ll probably shoot my outfit then too! ..xo Lipstick : Morange (MAC)

Glow.

(Makeup Tutorial) Ahh soft and glowy makeup, you’ve got to love it! It’s quite easy to achieve and it looks amazing on everyone. Face The key is to prime and apply a light foundation to keep the skin looking natural. Light Bronzing or Contouring/Highlighting will add dimension to the face and applying a cheek colour that is close to your natural blush will give a subtle “glowing from within” look.  Primer : MAC Prep + Prime Skin Brightening Serum Foundation : MAC Face + Body Foundation (C7) Concealer : MAC Studio Finish Concealer (NC45) Contour/Highlight : Sleek Kit Blush :… Read More »

I’ve promised numerous times to do a post and video of my favourite foundations! It’s about time I did, as I feel I’ve got a good enough use of them!Have an open mind when reading on, and also remember: what works for me may not necessarily work for you. My advice would be to get your hands on samples of products you may be interested in, have a little test of them, and that way you are more likely to find what works for you! So without further ado, here are my favourite foundations… MAC Face + Body Foundation120 ml… Read More »

(Makeup Tutorial) So after my brief hiatus from ze whole beauty side of things (purely because I haven’t been that creative with my makeup, just boring old eyeliner and a lip color) I decided to get back into the swing of things! I filmed this Summer inspired makeup tutorial, with quite a few peachy and orangey toned products! It’s still very much wearable, I think! I’m excited to see what other looks I come up with, using this palette and a few other goodies in my makeup collection! 🙂 …xo Products used… Face Foundation : Sleek New Skin Revive, Creme… Read More »

Olivia Palermo is most definately one of my style icons. Her effortless chic style and beauty are just awe-inspiring.You can then imagine my excitement when I came across this beautiful photograph of her, posing for Haute Muse Magazine.
