NYX Lid Lingerie in the Shades 'Whimsy', 'Evening Spell' and 'Morning Sky'.

I'm pretty certain that everyone has heard of NXY's infamous Lip Lingerie liquid lipsticks, right? The hype around the Lip Lingerie line insane. But did you know that NXY have a Lingerie range out specifically for your eyes?! I know, amazing! Although the lip range is based on the perfect nude shade for every skin tone, the Lid Lingerie offers many exciting, pearly and shimmery shades to chose from.
Evening Spell
Whimsy

At first, I didn't really know if I was going to like the formula as I mainly stick to plain old powder eye shadows. The idea of a liquid eye shadow seemed a little daunting at first, what if it didn't blend and I looked like a clown?! Despite being apprehensive, I took the plunge and bought myself three gorgeous shades.  Buying these has been one the best make- up decision I've made in a while! These are my all time favourite eyeshadows now! They're super easy to blend out with a makeup brush, they don't crease at all and simply look stunning.

'Evening Spell' is my classic go-to shade. I love a gorgeous deep red colour on my eyes for a grungy smokey eye and Evening Spell is just that! All of the Lid Lingerie's are pearly and shimmery and personally I really like that. It's really pigmented and stays put for hours!

'Morning Sky' is just a gorgeous sea foam green shade and I use this whenever I want something different. I can't put into words how pretty the colour is, just look at it! It's unlike anything else I have in my collection.

'Whimsy' is an absolutely gorgeous dark pink, shimmery shade and as with 'Morning Sky', it's a colour that stands out in my make up stash!

So as you can tell by this review I am over the moon with NYX Lid Lingeries! I do apologize for not having swatches of the shades on my eyes! I was just desperate to get this post up on the blog. If you do want to see swatches though, the good news is that there are loads of swatches online!

Summery: These liquid shadows make a quick and easy, effortless makeup look! Perfect for day or night.

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?
