Autumn Eyes | Make-Up Look

Hey girlie's!!!

I thought id share with you all what will be one of my most favourite ways to do my eye makeup this Autumn. I adore my golds, browns and bronze colour's so this look will mostly consist of those pretty shades. I am getting braver when it comes to eye shadow though, and will be showing you a nice berry toned look ill be wearing too very soon.

To create this look i started off with perfecting my base...

I buffed in my 'Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation' in 100 Ivory using my 'Real Techniques Buffing Brush', i then went on to conceal my dark under eye circles and any blemishes i had with my 'Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer' in 1 fair. To set all everything into place i used my Mac Mineralize Skin Finish Natural in Medium and finished of with a small amount of my 'MUA Blush' in Candyfloss.

I then went on to the eyes, my favourite part he he...

To create this eye makeup look i used....

The Urban Decay Naked Palette taking the shade 'Half Baked' on a fluffy blending brush and softly blending it across the lid, i then took the shade 'Smog' and blended that into the crease and slightly over the lid also, and i finished off with using 'Hustle' at the outta corner just to darken up the look slightly. I then used my 'Collection Extreme Felt Tip Liner' in black to line the upper lash line and winged it out ever so slightly, nothing too dramatic though. I lined my waterline with 'Avon's SuperShock Gel Eyeliner' in black and finished of with a coat of 'Max Factor's Wild Mega Volume Mascara'. For my brows all i used was the shade 'Buck' from the Urban Decay Naked Palette just to make them appear more full.

For the lips I've kept it quite natural and just used my 'Baby Lips' tinted lip balm in 'Cherry Me', this is my favourite shade out of the collection and keeps your lips lovely and moisturised through the colder monthes preventing chapping.

I hope you liked the first of my Autumn eye looks, any feedback would be great as this is my first ever eye makeup 'look', I'm in no way a make up artist but i do try my best he he!!! 

What eye shadows will you be wearing this Autumn??? I'd love to know.

Max Factor Wild Mega Volume Mascara | Review

Hey girlie's!!!

Recently Max Factor have brought out a new mascara... say hello to 'Wild Mega Volume' ha ha. It was on an introductory offer for £4.99 which i thought was fab considering lots of their other mascara's are usually £10 plus!!! 

The mascara claims to give you 3 times more volume for high impact, high drama 'look at me' lashes instantly. Id say the mascara did give me a certain amount of volume but i wouldn't say it was high impact, to me it just feels like a good general day to day mascara that gives you slight volume, that isn't clumpy and is nice and black. However the 1 thing i will say that is amazing about this mascara is its staying power, it literally doesn't smudge or flake at all and looks exactly them same at night when I'm about to cleanse as it did in the morning when it was applied, even with the hot weather we've had in the UK recently it hasn't budged, for me that's definitely a huge plus as there's nothing worse than a smudgy flaky mascara.

The brush itself is an easy to use hourglass shaped bristle brush, it allows you to really wriggle the brush at the root of your lashes without stabbing yourself in the eye like i always do with those horrible rubber/plastic brushes. 

The formula is really nice, i found it applied really quickly and gave the right amount of coverage on the lashes without it being clumpy and even though this mascara doesn't give the amount of volume i was expecting i do still really like it and would re purchase.  

Have you tried this mascara?? What did you think??  

Face of the Day | Neutral Smokey Eye

Hey girlie's!!!

Recently whenever I've decided to wear eye shadows I've always been choosing to do a neutral smokey eye, i just love it!!! So today i thought id share with you what makeup I've been using daily at the moment, hope you like!!!!

For everyday wear i don't tend to use too many products, half the time I'm rushing around at silly o'clock in the morning trying to get ready for work quickly so i don't bother with certain things like highlighter or contour and sometimes skip lip products completely.. Anyway here's the run down of products I'm using at the moment.

 ♥ I start off by using my 'Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation in 100 Ivory' i love this for everyday use, it gives the perfect amount of coverage without being cakey and literally blends out in seconds with the 'Real Techniques Buffing Brush'.

♥ For concealer I've been using 'Benefit Erase Paste in No2 Medium' this provides really great coverage over my horrid dark under eye circles and is super long lasting.

♥ As always i like to use my 'Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium' just to powder over my t-zone area as that's where i sometimes get some shine.

♥ Now for the neutral smokey eye I've been loving... Ive been addicted to my 'MUA Undressed Palette' i used shade 1 all over the lid, blended shade 5 into the crease then i deepened the crease and outta corner slightly with shade 8 and then blend, blend, blend!!! 

 ♥ For eyeliner on my waterline I've been using 'Stila Waterproof Smudge Stick in Damsel' its deep brown colour that doesn't budge for hours. I then used 'L'oreal Super Liner in Black Lacquer' just to create a slim line on my upper lash line.

♥ Ive been testing out so many mascara's recently but the one i opted for today was 'Max Factor's Clump Defy in Black' it really separates your lashes and doesn't flake or smudge.

♥ As abit of a lip and cheek duo I've been using 'Benefit Posetint' its great to build up on the cheeks and lips and stays put for yonks.

♥ For eyebrows i just mixed a few shades from the MUA Palette as my beloved HD Brow Palette is all gone (super sad face) so until i buy a new 1 I'm having to deal with awful brows ha ha.

I hope you liked this kind of post girlie's, let me know if you use any of these products too.
