wishlist


On the 3rd Day Of Christmas...

This is a little Almay palette that I have been enjoying a lot, what I love about it is that it makes the perfect simple eye look for everyday when you don't want too much make-up yet you still want to be presentable. It's also very portable and can be taken in your bag so you can touch up when you need to. Another plus point was that it only cost £1~! The name of it is 'Almay intense i-colour powder shadow - trio for browns 001'. I am guessing that means it is for brown eyes but I find it still works great.
I also find that the top colour is like the best colour for a brow bone highlight as well as the tear duct area highlight, which is why this colour is used the most as I tend to use this for every eye look. The brown is not super pigmented but I find that it gives the perfect shadow for a simple look as I said. The purple is the only let down as it doesn't really have much colour, though layering it with like a mac paint pot or maybelline colour tattoo works perfectly.

Here is a very simple eye look that I did with it, the lighting was not very good, I was finding it hard to capture the colours correctly, but hopefully you get the general idea that it's just a nice simple eye look. Have a nice day and see you tomorrow for another post! Exited for christmas!!

On the 2nd Day of Christmas....

On the 1st day of Christmas...


So here are two lip colours that I have paired together to wear on a night out, for my friends birthday party! I find that they work well together and perfect for a bit of glitter as they both are very sparkly colours! First we have Benefit Ultra Shines - 'Wild Child'. I keep having to think if I actually like this product of not due to the fact that is smells and tastes quite nasty, but I do actually like the formulation as well as the colour, therefore seen as I bought it I let it go, but I do not see myself going back to buy another one of these products. The lip colour I used on the base is by Revlon and I have to say that this one did impress me, it's one of those colours that you swatch and buy right there and then. It is called '457 - 'Wild Orchid'. Just realised both these colours start with wild, it really is a wild lip! The formulation of this lipstick is perfect, applies nice and easy and sparkles on the lips. Due to the blue undertones it also makes the teeth look whiter which is always nice!!

 Here are both of the colours swatched together, look how pretty they are!? I love that they both have little sparkles in them that are similar. Of course it's not an everyday lip look but for a party I find that is fits perfectly! Have a nice day and I will see you all tomorrow!

12 days of christmas

I have decided to do the 12 day Christmas countdown, this means I will have a new post every day for 12 days up until Christmas. Hopefully they will start to get more Christmasy as we go and as everyone get's more exited. I haven't decided what they will all be about yet! So it is now nearly Christmas and I couldn't be more exited! What do you all want for Christmas?
