Look of the Day - Graduation

Hello, I am in a very goood mood as I graduated yesterday and it was a fab day! Plus the weather was super sunny, which made the day even more perfect. After three years of hard work it feels so good to be finally graduating. Will definitely miss University and my fellow graphic designers. Congratulations to you all =D 


For my graduation I wore a dip hem dress, I am loving this style as I already have three dresses like this and I want more. I wanted to keep my outfit and make up subtle and sophisticated as I did not want to look over done. After all you only get this day once and I wanted to look my best! 

For my make up I started off by priming my eyes with my Urban Decay eye shadow primer and from my Naked 2 palette I applied the colour Suspect all over my eye lid as its a gorgeous neutral colour and one of my faves! Then using my Naked palette I applied the colour Sin to the inner corner of my eyes to brighten them up and used the colour Hustle on the crease of my eyes but blending it out with my blending brush to lighten the colour. I then used the colour Toasted to line below my water line. I lined my top lash line with my Body Shop eye liner which is not as dark as my other eye liners and it stays moist which is great if you make a mistake. For my waterline I used the pencil side of my duo Company liner and coated both my top and bottom lashes with my million lash mascara. For my brows I highlighted my brow bone with a creamy shadow and filled my brows in with a brown eye shadow. Then I applied lots of bronzer on my cheeks and finished the look by using a Revlon lip butter for my lips in shade Raspberry Pie which is a lovely hot pink. 

Happy Sunday everyone :)

Look of the Day - Pretty in Pink

Hello you! Hope your all doing well :) I graduate soon, super excited for that, so I had a pre grad celebration the other day :D
I wanted to match my make up to my outfit and as my dress was mint and pink, well a coral kind of pink I opted to go for pink because I love pink and I recently did a mint look. Yes still obsessing over mint though, lol!

For my look I primed my eye lid with my Urban Decay eye shadow primer and then from my Naked 2 palette applied the colour Chopper all over my eye lid. I then used a hot pink eye shadow from my Sleek palette to highlight the inner corner of my eye lids and also the crease to add a pop of colour. Using a blending brush I blended the pink out towards my brow bone so there's no harsh lines. I then used the colour Toasted from my Naked palette to line below my waterline. Using my Company liquid liner I lined my top lash line and winged out the flick. Also using my Company pencil liner I lined my waterline. 


To add some glitz to my eyes I used my gold glitter eye liner to line above my liquid liner and also winging it out to match the black eye liner. Finally got hold of my favourite mascara (Million Lash Mascara in Extra Black by Loreal) so using this I did lots of coats on my top lashes creating volume and length. Completing my eyes by highlighting my brow bone with a creamy shadow and filling in my eye brows with a brown eye shadow. To finish my look I used my Body Shop bronzer on my cheeks and a nude lipstick. 

Now completely off topic, the sales have started and I had to go check out the Next sale as people go crazy over it and as I was leaving the store I saw these gorgeous shoes and fell in love with them. I had seen a very similar pair in Zara but they did not have my size so when I saw these I had to have them plus they happened to match my outfit perfectly, don't you just love it when that happens. 

Happy Graduation everyone that is Graduating this year, Well done! Cannot wait for mine, eek =D

Look of the Day - Shimmer Waves

Hello lovelies :) The weather is still being odd but I could not wait any longer to get started with all my summer looks so I decided to do a look that's not overly summery and can be worn when ever really :) 

I am really loving this bronzer for the summer and have had this a few months now, the colours are great and they can be used as eye shadows as well as a cheek and face bronzer. For this look I have used only this bronzer, on my eyes and cheeks. 

Shimmer Waves by Body Shop in shade 01Bronze - £16.00

For this look I started off by priming my eyes with none other than my Urban Decay eye shadow primer then highlighted my brow bone with the bottom creamy gold colour in the bronzer. I then applied the brown colour all over my lid, I know it looks dark but on its a very light chocolate colour which makes a lovely base. Using the top pink wave I highlighted the inner corner of my eye lids which gave the eyes a nice bright look, perfect for summer. Then using the second gold colour I applied it on my eye lid crease and lined my bottom lash line with the final remaining colour which I love as it's a gorgeous copper shade. 

Eye shadow complete I lined my top lash line with my Company liquid liner creating a thin line with a small flick just ending near my eye. For my top and bottom lashes I used this new BADgal Lash mascara by Benefit which came free in the latest Glamour magazine which is actually really great as the brush goes from small to big which coats your lashes really nicely giving them volume. 

To finish my summer look I used the bronzer on my cheeks by sweeping my blusher brush down all the waves which gives the cheeks a really nice pinky bronze glow, and used my sisters Revlon lip butter in shade pink truffle. This is a pretty, quick and easy summer look, ideal for holidays as you don't want to carry around too much make up and gives the face a lovely glowing holiday look. 

Have a lovely day :D

Enjoy :)

Look of the Day - Minty Fresh

Hey all :) How is everyone? Weather is so odd, hot one day and cold another, really want the weather to stay hot so I can do all my summer looks that I have planned. As I think I would look a bit out of place with bright make up on a dull day, lol! Anyway, I am really loving the colour mint at the moment with clothes, nails, make up and even cars, been searching for a car and I keep finding myself drawn to mint cars...but mint is such a cute colour.

For this minty look I started off by priming my eye lid with my Urban Decay eye shadow primer, I have started using this on a daily basis now as I think that my eye shadow colour looks a lot better and also does not crease. Then I applied the colour Suspect from my Naked 2 palette all over my eye lid and using a creamy eye shadow highlighted my brow bone. Using my company liquid liner I lined my lash line winging it out. I then used a mint green colour from one of my Sleek palettes to line below my waterline also winging it out to match my eye liner and blending it into my eye shadow on my outer corner of my eye lid so there's no harsh lines. Completing the look by coating my lashes with my Falsifeye mascara. Finally I filled in my eye brows with a brown shadow. As my eye make up was rather bold I opted for a bronzer on my cheeks and a nude lipstick to compliment the look. I don't normally wear such bold colours like this but I am really liking it and its a great look for the summer as the bottom eye shadow colour can be changed for any bold colour. Will be doing this look more often for sure!


Hope you are all enjoying the weather :)
