my Autumn / Winter Eyeshadow picks



Hello,
So today I'm going to tell you about my personal favourite makeup item ; Eyeshadows. I don't know what it is about them but they can turn you from a boring standard makeup look to a dramatic look . Since we are officially in autumn/ winter ( my favourite seasons) I thought I'd share my top picks of eyeshadow ! These are all dark tones that I've chosen ,as I am defiantly a girl who enjoys dark made up eyes .

•This one from No7.. is a beige/ grey tone and the lasting on this is okay although it had faded after a few hours . But I wear this on the days where you just can't be bothered for a full eye look but want to cover the eyelids and make yours eyes brighter.•







•So this eyeshadow palette is from Models co, I haven't really heard of this brand BEFOR but I love this palette, and recently I have been finding myself to be using the dark dark brown glittery shadow just on the outsides of my eyes and blending into the crease . It last a good amount if time and makes your eyes look so bold it's unreal .•



•I haven't really every brought anything from Revlon , its not
 really a makeup brand I've been obsessed with but I have tried this eyeshadow palette along with another I purchased and , fell in love with the darkest tone . I've never been one for blue eyeshadow but 
I've taken a risk and I personally think it's come off well . It's not a obvious blue it's a mixture of navy and  grey and it just goes so well to add colour to my makeup look .•


•My last two palette's are both from Clinique , I love Clinique's products I find that they are defiantly worth the money your paying •
•Okay so the first palette's is this dark brown and strawberry pink 
eyeshadow and again like the Models co one , I have been applying the dark brown on the  edge of my eyelid blending inwards and into
 the crease ,I also bring it down under my eye a little instead of using eyeliner .It last ages on your eyes and doesn't crease.•


•So my last eyeshadow is this purple tone , I have been wearing this none stop it's honestly the nicest tone , and I feel it's such a autumnal colour . I take this everywhere with me , it's like I feel lost without it  .  I just blend out this colour upward and out wards to create a smokey eye effect . It last again ages without 
creasing , I would defiantly recommend it .•



•So those are my top 5 picks if you have any favourite colours or pallets let me know .
Thank you •

Monochrome outfit and makeup look / Autumn 2014


Hello,

It's getting to the season of jumpers , beanies and onesies , but before all that begins I want to show you my city wear ' smart casual style'. Monochrome is one of my favourite colour styling , it can make you look amazing aswell. For me dark tones are so flattering but you can't just wear all black so adding a hint of white makes it a stand out look . Whether you go casual or smart your sure to look fantastic .




I know skirts are abit daring in this weather with the wind , but this skirt I purchased from ark is honestly amazing it doesn't move from where you've placed it . It's a high waist skirt and the design is a kind of quieted PU design . I just love it so much it's so flattering and holds it shape of a flared design .

I have paired the skirt with this white shirt and a leather jacket to add a casual touch to this outfit . I never really wear leather but I think this autumn .







With this look I've done a darker and bigger  eye look and focused on doing a natural highlight , mainly under the eye section . I did a light contour as I applied more colour around my eyes , which is something. I want to do more of this autumn/winter . 

If anyone has recommendations of high street  or high end , lipsticks that are purple or a dark tone please comment as I'm after a new lipstick .
 Thank you .

•Outfit bits :
I can't find the shirt but any white shirt will do .
And the leather jacket was from a independent  store so I'm sorry I can't find that .

Rose and Frankincense face cream .



Hello,
So yes I'm back with a beauty post , I know it's been a good 2 weeks and I've missed it .so I went to the Essex country show and purchased this rose and frankincense face cream . So this is just a quick review on the product .


Now I have a problem in the autumn and winter months with dry skin , and this product makes my skin feel soft and fresh . It's not heavy on the skin which some creams can be and I love the smell of it .its made with all natural ingredients which is great and isn't irritant to sensitive skin which I have a problem with , so I'm often wary when purchasing but this product has worked well. I love how if I apply it just before foundation for the makeup days it doesn't move the foundation about which I find with other creams .Its a good handy size to take around with you and a little bit goes a long way! .

•The company making this cream are a independent business from Cambridgeshire called Boxworth botanicals and they do many other products like bath salts , lipbalms , soaps,etc.

My school everday essentials ☾

 Hello ,
So I don't know about you but It's the beginging of the school year . School for me this year will be stressful but hopefully enjoyable ( I hope) . Let's be honest nobody would volunteer to go to school but it's something we all have to do to achieve the best possible future , also it's a place to socialise with your friends and maybe not so much your friends but peers.sith all this socialising and working you want to be feeling fresh so  I'm here to show you what I take to school everday in my makeup bag .
[ I was going to do a what's in my bag but I haven't finished some of my diy's I've been doing , so I may do that in the future but we'll see ay]

These 4 items are my  holy grails of my school makeup bag !! 
I always bring perfume , dry shampoo , hand lotion and deodorant , as I'm a person who has pe pretty much everyday on their timetables , these just help me feel fresh and ready for the rest of the day . With perfume I always brig a travel size or one that's beginning to run out just so if I loose it it won't matter as much as a brand new one !



The second most important for my makeup bag is makeup itself . I only tend to take the bare minimal in makeup as I do NOT want to carry around my whole entire makeup bag all day , as I feel like you don't need to top up foundation 3 hours after you applied it , it won't do you skin any good ! 
 So I just take concealer ,to hide dark circles or spots if one suddenly (re) appears . And I also take my spot stick to fight theses annoying buggers . I always carry my mascara just Incase . And I carry my life savers of vaseline and lip butter , cause let's be honest nothing is worse than dried chapped lips . I always carry a compact mirror just Incase all the bathroom mirrors have been taken up . That tends to always happen .



Now some of you May think why do you carry and umbrella everyday to school , well my answer. 
that I like in the UK and in the UK you can never predict the weather it could go from the sun buring you to snow in 5 minutes ( not  that drastic though) so it's always handy to keep an umbrella in a locker . 
I'm probably not the only girl who brings a spare hair band or bobby pins to school as I can loose these things in seconds of just holding them , and they're not the easiest to find aswell .I'm sure if you are a girl or have a sister bobby pins are lurking everywhere around your home .






Last but not least mints , now my school are against chewing gum , so I just stick with mints and I always bring a big pack cause as soon as you give one person a mint the  whole entire school just surrounds you begging for them , like no get your own pack . If this happens to you I'd advise you to open them on your own .

So these are my back to school essentials , leave a comment on what you take everday , I may need more ideas , and if you have tips on how to survive exams that would help aswell .
Okay !
