ESSENTIALS | eye make up.

hello everyone!

happy blog mas day 12:-)

 

Since my base make up essentials post was so popular, I decided to do my eye make up essentials and then I will do my eyebrow routine essentials on Sunday which will conclude this mini series. So hopefully you're enjoying it:-) if not, then there will be an OOTN tomorrow, so stay tuned!

 

 

Eye shadow

I typically opt for the Maybelline colour tattoo in on and on bronze, which I've featured many times on my blog. I love the convenience of a cream shadow and it is very versatile as I use it for my every day routine (which is shown above) and I also use it for my base for a night out (tutorial coming in 2 weeks time).

see my previous post here with swatches and a direct link to buy it.

 

Blue eyeliner

I personally think blue eyeliner goes perfectly with dark eyes, so I use this on my water line to give my eyes a pop of colour! I have a really in depth post on this with swatches and the price which you can see:

 here.

 

Mascara

This is definitely a holy grail product as you can ask anyone that knows me, I have been known to go all the way home if I haven't brought my mascara in my coat pocket. Wow, I didn't realise how obsessive that makes me sound ha. But seriously... mascara helps me look human, so if I'm desperate I'll go out with just mascara on. This mascara in particular gives me length and volume and at such a great price!

The blue packaging indicates that it's waterproof, which unfortunately I can't find:-( but here, is the non waterproof version for £7.99.

 

Black eyeliner

I use this eyeliner for the top lash line to create a winged eye effect. Although I didn't like this at first, I think the product needs to dry out a little and then it's life power becomes much greater! I absolutely love this eyeliner and it's so convenient with the brush being in the packaging.

Couldn't find a link sorry.

BIRTHDAY WISHLIST | 2013.

  hello bloggers!

 

Although most people are starting their Christmas themed blog posts (which makes me ever so excited), I am yet to start as it's my birthday on the 28th of November, but don't worry because I am planning on doing blog-mas (which is a blog post a day in the month of December, so I will be making Christmas themed posts). But don't hold me to it, because its not a firm decision yet!

 

Anyway, as you see I have created a birthday wish list which is a burgundy and pink theme which I didn't intend in the beginning but then I decided to embrace my feminine side. Although I don't expect all of these things for my birthday or even at all for that matter, I'm going to be doing one more wish list with more neutral colours soon as I'll also look at these as my Christmas wish lists.

 

 

1. FUN bar by lush - pink (out of all the products on this wish list, I REALLY want this which is strange because its the cheapest on my list ha ha)

£5.00.

2. Soap and glory - bright and bubbly gift set.

£10.00.

3. Day 2 night mascara in black.

£6.99.

4. Burgundy skater skirt.

£5.99.

5. Boots beauty advent calendar.

 £30.00.

6. Burgundy all star converse.

£44.99.

Is there any other beauty advent calendars that you would recommend?

BEAUTY FAVOURITES | october.

hello honeys!

 

For once I don't think this month went that quick?! I know, there's a first for everything. This month I'm going to do two separate posts... a beauty favourites and a non beauty favourites.

What do you guys think?

 

 

 

Vo5 conditioner, give me moisture conditioner for dry hair leaves your hair so silky straight and smooth so that it looks like you've just been to the salon. Some reviews I read revealed that some peoples hair doesn't stay smooth once straight, but mine against all odds does:-D *victory dance*. It smells gorgeous but I'm rubbish with descriptive words so I wont attempt. For the small price tag of £1.99 from boots its definitely worth the price!

 

Next is the Kiss me quick lip balm tubs, in the picture I've shown them all however the actual favourite is the one that is slightly below the others in the flavour 'Very cherry', oh what a name. Unfortunately I cant find them on the boots website anymore as they came in a pack (which I received as a birthday present from my friend Joe last year, so a special thank you to him), they also have Strawberry sundae, mint chocolate chip and hot fudge sundae.

 

After writing my blog post on the body shop and featuring the super volume mascara, I rekindled my love for the product! However I take back my comment, as it is not only good for bottom lashes but top lashes as well. It's fair to say this has become my second favourite mascara, after the Rimmel day to night.

 

Last but not least is my savour for the month, the almighty Sudocrem, which saved me from a meltdown when some volcano's spots appeared on my face. As you can see by the picture above (sorry about the zero amount of makeup), I wasn't best pleased and decided to put a bucket load on my face. Thankfully the rumours are true and this cream which is intended for nappy rash actually worked! I picked it up for £2.37 (bizarre price, I know) at my local pharmacy and was worried when I decided to chose the smallest of the two tubs, however this product will definitely last for a while as it's so thick.

 

If you've done a favourites post then let me know because they're my favourite to read:-)

 

Best wishes xx
