GRWM: Subtle Smokey Brown Eyes Tutorial

Hello! Today's post is a nice little get ready with me tutorial on how to create a soft smokey brown eye look that can be worn really subtly in the day time, or can be glammed up for a nice evening effect.

The first thing i did to create this look was apply my Urban Decay Primer Potion (original) all over my eye lid, up in my crease and just below my brow bone.

Next, taking my Makeup Revolution Flawless Matte Palette (£8) i applied the shade Flaw (top left) over the whole of my lid using a flat brush and up underneath my brow bone to add highlight. Next i took the shade Fawn on a fluffy short crease brush and dragged it through my crease, and slightly higher as i have hooded lids. I also applied this under my lower lash line too. After this i added the colour Earth gently through my crease to add a slightly darker colour with my fluffy brush and blended the whole look together.

After i applied my eyeshadow i had a bit of a strop applied my eyeliner. Usually when creating a smokey eye, before any mascara or eyeliner is added it looks abit weird. I usually start doubting myself and want to remove the whole thing, but it does get better!

Anyway.. I applied my eyeliner next, creating a gentle cat eye effect on the top lashes. I use the Maybelline Gel liner in black to create this. This look can be left at this for a casual look or liner can be added along the bottom lash line and gently blended out to create a more glam look, this is what i did in the pictures.

Next i used a thin coat of my Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara as a base, and on-top of this applied my Demi Wispies Lashes by Ardell.

To finish off the look i applied Chopper from Naked 2 by Urban Decay, over the top of the lid to create a subtle gentle shimmer, and added a tiny bit of the Mary Loumanizer Highlight by the Balm in my inner corner.

I hope you enjoyed this simple eye look! These are the posts i love doing more than anything so let me know what you think! Chloe :)

Something a little different: The BEST chocolate dessert recipe

Hi! This post today is non-beauty related, however it had to be done. If you love chocolate/sweet things/desserts/eating more calories than you are supposed to, this is the post for you!

Today i will be showing the process and explaining the method of creating A chocolate refrigerator cake. This recipe is so easy, even i can do it, and i can't bake to save my life!

Ingredients                                                                        Utensils
175g Butter or Margarine                                                 Saucepan
1 Tablespoon of Drinking chocolate                                Greased tin (a sponge cake tin works best)
1 Tablespoon of Cocoa powder                                        Rolling pin
2 Tablespoons of Golden syrup                                      
1 Pack of Digestives
1 Large bar of Chocolate

1) The first thing you need to to create this dream of a dessert, is grease a baking tin with butter. It doesn't need to be thick, just a light coating will do!

2) Take your biscuits, and put the whole pack into your saucepan. I used plain digestives, however i know this recipe would also be just as amazing if you wanted to use cookies, oreo's or any biscuit of your choice really! When all of the biscuits are in the saucepan, you need to take the end of your rolling pin and repeatedly smash all of the biscuits up into tiny pieces this is an excellent form of stress relief. When the biscuits are crushes pour them into another contain for safekeeping till later

3) Next is the saucepan part. Taking your now empty saucepan, melt the 175g of butter slowly on a low heat, until its all golden and lovely -don't let the butter boil though.

4) Add 1 very very very heaped tablespoon of drinking chocolate to the butter, then do the same with the cocoa powder. Next pour in two large full tablespoons of golden syrup.

5) Stir all of ingredients into the butter to create a dark coloured chocolatey liquid.

6) Next start pouring your biscuits into this mix bit by bit, you might not need them all. You need to keep stirring them until the biscuits don't get coated by the liquid anymore.

7) Next, pour this mixture into your tin and pop it in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes. If you would like to test the mixture yourself, now's a good time as it's still all warm and delicious, but if you do this, try not to eat it all never made that mistake before.

8) When the mixture has started to cool, take your large chocolate bar and melt using whatever method you prefer! I like to play it safe and melt it in a bowl using the heat from some boiling water.

9) When your chocolates fully melted, pour it over your chilled biscuit mixture and spread over the whole tin with a knife.

10) Put the mixture into the fridge until the chocolate is all set, and then eat!!!

You can decorate the top in any way you wish but here are some delicious options that i happily tried and tested:

Strawberries

Grated white or dark chocolate

Smarties

Millions

Cookie/biscuit crumbs

I hope you enjoyed this different little post, it's something that will occur very rarely on my blog however i felt it was necessary as this dessert just tastes amazing!
