The Balm Meet Matt(e) Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Adoring.

Hey everyone, Valentines day is fast approaching and I'll use any excuse to do a themed make up look! This is my own twist on a romantic look. Rachel's anti-valentine day makeup look will be getting posted later this week so keep your eyes peeled for that!

I done my usual base routine, nothing too fancy but I always love using a lot of highlighter to get a lovely glow - desperately wanting to be a glowy unicorn is easy with my new found love, Barry M Liquid Chrome Drops. I just mix it in with my foundation and it looks gorgeous.

For my eyes, I used a blusher palatte to get a really pink, lovely romatic look. I love it! I used some reds and a purple in my crease from my UD Alice in Wonderland palette just to darken it up a little. I wont say too much on the mascara and eyeliner as we have in-depth reviews coming up on them!

To finish the look I used a classic, sexy red lip. I love this lipstick but it does seem to crack a little through out the day and wears off around the middle of my lip as the bottom photo shows -arghh! Still, absolutely gorgeous and is the perfect finishing touch.

What are you up to this Valentines?

January Beauty Favourites | 2017

Hey everyone! The first month of 2017 is over already and thank goodness for that! January was such a bad month for me but finally it's February! It's mine and Leah's birthday in a matter of days now and I'm so so so excited! Today's post is starring all of these little beauties that kept me and Leah happy during the miserable month of January! Let's get started!

First up is the amazing Volume Colourist Mascara from Rimmel. Rimmel is always my go to brand when it comes to mascaras so when I saw that this mascara tinted lashes I just needed to have it. Lashes are a big part of my beauty routine these days. There is nothing better than long black fluttering doll-like lashes in my opinion!  This mascara doesn't make my lashes thicker but it definitely makes them longer. If you use this mascara over time, your lashes will gradually get tinted darker and I have already noticed a little difference! What's not to love about this product?
Next we have the NYX Matte Liquid Liner. We are girls that love our eyeliner and this one is so so so perfect! It's ultra black and it applies so easily! The applicator is a small brush and it makes it super easy to achieve the perfect cat eyes. This stays on for hours and it still looks perfect towards the end of the day. It doesn't crumple or crack on the lid like some of my other liquid eyeliners! This is just the best eyeliner ever for all the liquid eyeliner junkies so you just need to get it!

Tigi Bedhead deep conditioner is just a treat to use. It smells just like toffee! I leave this conditioner on for a few minutes and my hair is left super soft and shiny and smelling so delicious! Another bonus is that it also protect hair colour from fading!
Me and Leah have also found a new love; The Body Shop! I have been obsessed with the Hemp range since getting it for Christmas. It smells so so nice and most importantly, my skin feels like silk! The lip oil is also a life saver and I have been applying it to my lips just before bed and I wake up with the softest lips.

The Stay Matte Not Flat foundation is the first one I've used from NYX and I am in love! The coverage is so perfect and the colour is so perfect for my skin tone. I have been feeling so bad about my skin recently but when I wear this foundation I feel so good about my complexion! I also love wearing Rimmel's The only matte lipstick in the shade 'Trendsetter'. This shade is perfect for dark eyes and the nude lips look which has been my go to look recently. The pigment is so amazing and this is the only matte lipstick that I love!

Are these any of your January Favourites too?

Hey everyone, welcome back to another post! Today we have a face of the day. With a new year fast approaching, I wanted to spice up my usual makeup look. Lately I've been obsessed with dark eyes and cat flicks and I've been neglecting my beloved collection of red, dark and gothic lipsticks. I couldn't go without red lipsticks once upon a time (we wanted to be Marilyn Monroe) but things have changed and I'm now a lover of the beauty of a nude lipstick - think 60's makeup!

But I love makeup, the best thing about it is that you can experiment each and everyday with bold and fun looks. So, I decided to pull out all my red lipsticks again and I found Unicorn Blood by Jefree Star! Oh my God, this is the most perfect lipstick ever, not to mention the colour is to die for. Despite my bold lips I couldn't abandon my dark eyes or kitty flicks! Who says you can't do both? Red lips and dark lips for the win.
A recent find has been the absolutely amazing and versatile Maybelline The Nudes palette! for just £10, you get 12 shades that are mixtures of matte and shimmer that create the most perfect smokey eye! I also use this on my eyebrows to fill them in.
I kept my base the same as usual, the Stay Matte foundation and the Collection concealer have been holy grails for years now because they're perfect for pale skin. I'm all about glowing highlighter and my mum bought me a bloggers favourite, MUA undress your skin. Budget friendly and absolutely gorgeous, I definitely recommend it! Brows, Blush and a quick spray of NXY finishing spray (which is UH-AMAZING) and I'm all done!

What is your favourite red lipstick?
