Get Ready With Me! Smokey Pink Eyes

Hello! This get ready with me post has a focus on eyes today. I went for a smokey pinky shimmery kind of look, here are the details!


FOCUS: EYES 
I used the Naked 3 palette from Urban Decay to create this look.

First of all i used the Urban Decay Primer Potion in sin all over my lids and higher up to near my brow bone.

Then i took the lightest shade, Strange and mixed it with the baby pink shimmer called Dust, and sweeped these all over the whole of my lid using a big flat brush from Nanshy.

Next i took the colour Buzz which is just a gorgeous bright pink shimmer shadow, i put this all over the outer half of my eyes using the same flat brush.

I then took Nooner, my favourite colour in the whole palette! It's the pink equivalent on Tease from the Naked 2 palette! I put this all into my crease using a short brush, i'm not sure what it's called but i call it my stubby brush haha! Then i took the darker shade called Darkside, and added this gently on the top of Nooner. Then i blended it all out with a big fluffy brush!

To finish off the shadow, i took Trick, the rose-gold shade and pushed that in under my lash line for a a really pretty pop of colour.

Next i lined the top of my eyelids with the Loreal Super Slim Liner, and the bottom of my eyes with a Rimmel Kohl Black Liner.

I used my incredible Younique 3D Mascara next! I've seen so many mixed reviews on this product but it is my actual holy grail! I loveeee it. I used the Rimmel Scandal Eyes Mascara on my lower lashes. I find it's too clumpy for my upper lashes but it looks great on the bottom. 

REST OF MY FACE:

For my skin i used Rimmel's Perfect Match Foundation

The concealer i used was the amazing E.L.F Oil Free Concealer

I also used Rimmel's Stay Matte Powder All over my face

For eyebrows i used my Soap and Glory Brow Archery in Brownie points and ABH Dipbrow in Chocolate

On my lips i used MAC's Creme Cup lipstick and Tanya Burr's lipgloss in Just Peachy

For my cheeks i used E.L.F's Bronze and glow bronzer, and the Makeup Revolution Blush Palette.

I used the brightest pink and the bottom pinky blush baked highlight.

I hope you enjoyed this post! I think it was my favourite one I've ever done, as i enjoy creating makeup looks so much! I've struggled with the close up photography in the past but i think I am getting there now! Thanks for reading! :)

Easter Beauty Products! / Holiday to Switzerland

This week there has been a lack of posts here on my blog, due to the fact that I have been on holiday in Switzerland. Me and my boyfriend went to stay with family for a week and had an amazing time. Whilst over there i couldn't help but look at all of the makeup! With France and Germany so close by I managed to look at many brands I had never seen before in the UK, however me being me I ended up buying a fair few products that are sold over here. To be fair though i got them for cheaper over there than here woooo!

MAKEUP:

Makeup Revolution - Blush Palette - Sugar and Spice £6.00

One of the first things I got was not from overseas! Before i went away i picked up the Makeup Revolution Blush Palette from Superdrug. I was very impressed with the amount of blushes you get for just £6. The palette contains two peachy contour colours, 4 bright pinks, a pink frosted highlighter and a baked blush. My favourite from the set is the baked blush, it is basically a blush and highlighter in one and gives a pretty pink shimmery glow to the cheeks. Each colour is really pigmented, meaning you only have to use a really tiny amount!

Baked Blush

 

Urban Decay - Naked 3 Palette - €49.90 (£38)

Whilst in France, i visited Sephora! I was overly excited about going here, and managed to leave with only one thing that i could get over here in the UK. I picked up the famous Naked 3 Palette. It is honestly as amazing as it looks, I already have the Naked 2 Palette but found myself wanting a more pinky toned shadow that was just as good quality as the 2, so i went for 3! My favourite colour from the palette is probably Nooner. I think nooner is the pink version of Tease from the 2 palette, it's matte and pinky and looks great in the crease.

Catrice - Made to stay highlighter pen - €3.75

I was so desperate to find a really nice highlighter, and after contemplating buying the Balms Mary Loumanizer, i'm glad i didn't! This highlighter pen is smooth and creamy and really is made to stay! It was so cheap and i honestly wish i had brought the other shade too. I picked up 010 Eye Like, which is the nude toned highlighter out of the collection.

Loreal - Super Liner Perfect Slim - £6.99

I brought this eyeliner in Basel Switzerland but completely forgot how much it was in Euro's but they also sell this product in the UK for £6.99. I didn't technically need a new eyeliner as i love my Maybelline Gel, but this one made such a clear thin line on the back of my hand it went straight into my basket! I highly recommend this eyeliner as its just so easy to use with the pen tip. The only downside to this eyeliner is if you accidentally fall asleep in it you will wake up with it over the whole of your face! I found blobs of it under my chin and down the sides of my nose oops.

Misslyn Nail Polish - Venus - €4.99

This polish has a sheer pink base with a golden orange shimmer within it. It is from the Galaxy collection and this was also brought in Basel. The polish is quite sheer and requires a good few coats but if used with a good topcoat it honestly lasts ages and its so shimmery and pretty.

Essence Nail Polish - Truth or Dare - £2.00

This polish is a topper that consists of small nude and white dots and large white and nude hexagons. Its very pretty and spring like and for the price is actually very good! 

Thanks for reading! Below are just some holiday pictures so feel free to scroll past if it doesn't interest you, let me know if you have ever brought any makeup products from overseas that you love :)

Spring Pastel and Pretty Favourites!

Hello! I have been feeling very spring like recently after reading tons of magazines filled with pretty pastel accessories and i decided after a little shopping spree, i should create my own version. Here are my top pretty essentials ready for spring

VERA WANG - PINK PRINCESS

This beautiful pretty looking fragrance was sadly discontinued in 2013, however there are plenty of websites that still stock it such as Amazon, Fragrance Direct and Beauty Base. The prices online range from £13.99 - £25.00. This perfume is so perfect for spring, if you like sweet scents this ones for you! The ingredients in it even sound incredible, this scent includes notes of Pink Grapefruit, Raspberry Sorbet, Pink Hibiscus, Honeysuckle, Marshmallow and White Amber. (if i could insert the heart eyed emoji here i would!) I can't recommend this perfume enough, its honestly amazing.

Even the bottle is pretty! Sparkly pink with a jeweled crown lid.

RIMMEL NAIL POLISH - RITA ORA COLLECTION - WILD-ER-NESS (£1.98)

I read somewhere that lilac nail polishes are the in colour for 2015! I couldn't agree more, i didn't actually have any polishes this colour and couldn't resist buying this from Asda for £1.98! Lilac nail polishes are meant to go with any skin colour with any type of undertones, and they also compliment any colour of jewelry.

 MAYBELLINE BABY LIPS - £2.99

These cute little lip balms have had mixed reviews ever since they were released in the UK, but honestly i love them! I use them more as lip tints when i don't feel like wearing lipstick and on top of lipstick colours to either change the colour slightly or just make my lips feel more moisturised if the lipsticks dry. They are such a steal at £2.99 (i got mine from Boots) and they look so sweet. Pink Punch leaves a pinky tint to lips and tastes amazing. Peach kiss is a great topper for nude lipsticks and Cherry Me gives a lovely red tint without looking too full on.

VASELINE INTENSIVE CARE MOISTURISER  (healing) £2.19

This pretty pastel looking moisturiser was picked up on my Boots trip. It isn't entirely relevant to spring but the colour reminds me of Easter for some reason so that's good enough! It is a nice light moisturiser that is surprisingly non greasy. It also works pretty well, I have really dry skin and it has helped alot.

KLEENEX OVAL TISSUES (2 FOR £3.00)

Tissues don't seem exactly pretty and spring like considering they are used for horrible runny noses but the box is cute! Tissues are very ideal in the spring if you suffer from hayfever like me boooo, however i suppose it feels slightly less depressing if you are blowing your nose on something pretty. These tissues are on offer at Sainsbury's at the moment, 2 packs for £3!

SPARKLY CLIP ON BUTTERFLIES 

These were actually from Home Bargains however i do not think they stock them anymore, but i have found the exact alternatives on Ebay and Amazon. These little clip on beauties make any room look 100 times more girly and spring like. I have these scattered round my room and they look ever so lovely.

I hope you liked this spring favourites/essentials! Let me know if you have any of these things or have any other amazing spring favourites! :)
