Perfect Lashes & Wing

 
If you've been following my make up looks you'd see that with every look I do I always finish with a wing and as I have pretty decent natural lashes I add little mascara. I really feel like I've now found the perfect products to achieve those finishing touches


Firstly you want an eyeliner to suit every purpose so no matter what style of wing you want you can achieve it. The Supercat eyeliner is completely worth sending the extra few pounds. With this there is a perfect pointed nib with the boldest black which are the two key points you need to achieve the perfect winged eyeliner. With the Supercat liner you are able to achieve the most perfect. Next you want the perfect mascara to give the perfect look. My favourite at the moment is the Tarte Lights Camera Action Mascara as it gives a huge amount of volume and lift which is really the best finish with a nice thick wing as you can see from the photograph below.


As you can see this combination is absolutely perfect as a day to day look and also as a night time look with a bold lip. So whats your favorite products to create this sorta look let me know in the comments because I'm always wanting to try new products.

Morgan Taylor Nail Polish ¦ If Looks Could Thrill



At the moment I'm really into my dark purples, red and blues for my nails, there's just something about this time of yer and jewel tones that just seem to go together in my head. So while I was at work one day this shade just kept catching my eye and I really couldn't help myself but to purchase this beauty.   


Definitly the most perfect jewel purple colour this is so complementary to my outfit, especially for the up coming party season. The purple has a gorgeous purple and gold shimmer all over but it is very subtle and only really shows up in the light. 
Morgan Taylor re  more high end nil brand that was originally aimed at salons and professionals but they have since branched out to the general public and have given us  chance to use the beautiful colours and fantastic staying power.
If you see this brand in a store be sure to check them out s the range of colours are perfectly on trend and everything from the packaging to the finish of the nails feels very luxurious.

Top Make Up Revolution Products



Its a well known fact on this blog that I really love Make Up Revolution products, the value for money is really quite ridiculous and so I can't help but pick up pretty much everything they bring out. I've never been disappointed by anything I've picked up so far and I can't see that changing any time soon. Make Up Revolution pick up on the beauty trends of the season and what products the higher end brands are releasing and they create fantastic dupes for those products.

This is the newest addition to my collection its their newest eye shadow palette release and its gorgeous it has loads of perfect on trend autumnal colours and some great neutrals. They are extremely highly pigmented considering the  budget price tag at only 6.99 also the brush is pretty good too that you get inside the palette. I did  full review of this palette last week check it out here.




 I cannot rave bout this contour kit enough, I'd say its  dupe for the sleek contour kits as it has  contour  highlight and a  bronzer. I wanted a contour that would be more cool toned and ashy as I hate seeing people with bright orange contour. This is the perfect shade for me and its so buildable. As you can see I'm starting to hit pan its just that good of a shade I can wear it for my mood aswell. Most of the time I like a quite intense contour but on those days when I don't want to wear much make  up just a flutter of this on my cheekbones makes a hell of a difference. I also enjoy the bronzer and highlight in this palette but I find the bronzer  little too orange and the highlighter is a little too subtle for my taste, although I do wear it with a more no make up make up look.



 I'm sure you've seen everyone talk bout these highlighters but they are fantastic. The two shades I have are peach lights and pink lights. I have these two because I have a few different golden champagne highlighters but not many other shades so I went for these. The formula is so highly pigmented and they compliment my look. I tend to sway more towards peach lights at the moment as I'm wearing more rusty colours on my eyes. Although I love pink lights just as much with my cooler toned make up.



Finally the best out of the lot as far as I'm concerned, this product has saved my make up budget. I really got into the Soap and Glory brow Archery but at £10 a go and them only lasting me 2-3 weeks I needed to find a cheaper alternative.Well this is just that its the same if not better because of the price of only £3.50 its crazy. The felt tip and the crayon are just as precise and just as pigmented I'm now actually on my second one and by the looks of this picture I think i need  new one soon too.

 Seriously guys if you haven't tried out this brand before make sure you do you won't be disappointed. Have you got any suggestions for me for what you've tried out if so let me know in he comments, next on my list is definitely the primer.

Yes to Tomatoes Daily Balancing Moisturiser

At the age of 23 I'm really starting to want to take more care of my skin. I've always had pretty good skin the odd break out or oily spots but that's about it really. Recently I've suffered a little with open pores and an oily t zone which has been affecting the way my make up sits and it's longevity. Now no girl can have her make up sliding off after a couple of hours so I took to the Internet to try and resolve this.

  I've heard about the brand Yes To here and there for a while now and I thought why not give it a try. I was attracted to this brand more than any other as they don't use harsh chemicals and 95% of the ingredients are natural, personally I'd like to leave of using chemicals for a few more years so that's why it stood out to me. I've been using the Yes to Tomatoes products as they're for combination skin and I think for my normal to oily skin it definitely does the job. I decided to just pick up the one product to start with and that is the day cream as I thought it should help out with the balancing of the oils in my skin over the day. That is exactly what I've found and I really can't believe how much better my skin looks and my problem t zone is pretty much barely there anymore which for me was the most important thing. As a side note aswell the smell, it's gorgeous it smells like fresh sweet tomatoes in a greenhouse but a little more dialed down obviously, it's such a gorgeous scent to really perk you up in the morning.  I'm really impressed by this brand and I definitely want to pick up some more of there products, probably a face mask and night cream next, I might aswell jump on the skincare wagon.

Forever 21 does Star Wars


Unless you've been living on the moon for past year or so you would know that the next Star Wars film has just been released and I gotta say its fantastic. Usually I'm not a fan of stores collaborating with films and bands as I feel it can sometimes appeal to the wrong people who are glory hunters or fake fan boys/girls. But when a brand collabs to make pretty awesome fashionable pieces I tend to get pretty excited, as such with this collection.

So Forever 21 have teamed up with Mr Lucas and Star Wars to bring out a collection of merchandise referencing to the past movies within the franchise. Personally I love the graphic phrased tee as it just made me giggle and it would be so wearable for everyday. I also love with the LBD as it has all different little graphic helmets cross the front then "Empire 77" across the back which is just so cool. I can really see this on one those awesome anime inspired alternative girls that have that amazing effortless cool alternative look.




There re so many awesome items out of this collection i m definitely picking  few up, but they'd also be a great christmas gift for any nerds you my know. What do you think of this collection ? More importantly what do you think of the film? Pretty great right?

Make Up Revolution Newtrals vs Nuetrlas Palette


Looking at my eye shadow collection I seemed to be missing  few colours, mainly those gorgeous rusty copper tones that are really on trend at the moment. So I took to the internet in search of  palette to suit my needs, I found a couple but make up revolution always wins for me. This is make up revolutions latest release I tend to love any product that they release so I knew I was on to a winner. This palette has the perfect mix of warm tones and cool tones from rusts to create the perfect grunge look to gorgeous greige shades to complement a winged liner.


The palette comes in ultra sleek black and rose gold matt packaging which makes it feel alot more lux than it actually is. Inside there are 16 shades the top eight re the warm tones and the bottom eight are the cool tones. inside the palette there is a plastic sheet which has all of the eye shadows names printed on it. I find this a bit of  pain so I tend to throw it way but it is good to keep if you want to remember which colours you have used. Also included is a double ended brush which is surprisingly really good quality considering the price tag of only £6.99.

I found pretty much all of the shades were really highly pigmented and are really easy to work with when it comes to blending. For durability its pretty fantastic too as part of my general make up routine I tend to wear a primer as I feel it makes a big difference to your finished look and of course with the longevity I try and make sure sty put for  good eight hours and these eye shadows definitely do. Since I bought this palette a few weeks ago now I really haven't used anything else but that's purely because I only need these colours at the moment, there is something for every mood and occasion just the perfect collection really.
