Look of the Day - Heaven and Earth

Hellooo lovelies :) Did you all enjoy the snow? I hope your answer was no :| Yes I know I sound boring but I am fed up of the snow, it was fun at first but now not very practical at all!! Not to add its freezing, so excited for summer!! OK my snow rant over lets get back to talking about make up...Hehe :p. I was not sure whether to blog this look as I wasn't very happy with how the pictures turned out because it's so gloomy outside the pictures are really bright which makes it very hard to see the actual make up. But I decided to blog it anyway so excuse the poor pictures and I will start using my SLR more for the pictures so they're more detailed.

This is a look perfect for winter, bit delayed but it's still winter so it counts, lol! Dark eyes and lips, slightly gothic but gorgeous. I have used quite a few new products for this look. After my foundation routine I contoured my cheeks with this Body Shop brown bronzer which is super old and am pretty sure they do not do this any more but I found it in my make up bag and thought it would be great for contouring. I then highlighted my cheekbones using my golden bronzer by Bodyshop.

Baked to Last Bronzer by BodyShop in Shade 02 Warm Glow- £16.00

Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24 HR, On & On Bronze - £4.99

MUA Pro Palette Heaven and Earth - £4.00

For my eyes instead of a eye shadow primer as my base I used this creamy eye colour by Maybelline which is a lovely bronze colour, perfect if you're in a hurry and then using my MUA eye shadow palette I applied the darkest brown shade on the crease of my eye lid and applied the pinky brown shade on the inner corner of my eyes to brighten the look up and highlighted my brow bone with the lightest cream colour in the palette. I then lined my top lid in a thin line with my Rimmel liquid eye liner and lined my tight line and water line with my FX black eye pencil. Then using the same dark eye shadow as I used on my crease I lined below my water line smudging it into my water line. For my lashes I used the Falsies Volume Express mascara by Maybelline. Finally my favourite part of this look, the lips which I lined and filled in with my FX lip liner in shade Auburn which completed this earthy brown look.

Hope you're all well, Enjoy!

Look of the Day - Simple Everyday Make-up

Hellllooo :) Finally doing another look of the day after soo long, This is my usual everyday make up look that I would do to work and if am going out during the day although I do sometimes change it up and add top liner. But if am in a proper hurry to go out and do some errands or late for work I just wear foundation, blusher and lipstick. 

So lets get started. After my foundation routine I applied my Urban Decay eye shadow primer in shade Sin all over my lid and also to highlight my brow bone as it has a golden shimmer to it plus it's a lot quicker when you're in a hurry. I then apply any eye shadow as I love my eye shadows, usually from my Naked palettes as the colours are a bit more suited to everyday wear. For this look I used the colour Sidecar which is a gorgeous shimmery nudey pink colour. Then using my FX black eye pencil I lined my tight-line as this makes my eyes look like they have eye liner on. Eyes almost complete I then applied lots of my now favourite mascara on my top lashes, the Falsies Flared mascara my Maybelline. I then filled in my brows using a slanted brush and brown eye shadow.

I usually use a bronzer on my cheeks or my lip and cheek stain that I sometimes use if am in a rush. In this case I used my trio blusher/bronzer from BodyShop. I can't seem to find this on their website to tell you the price but am sure I have seen it in the shop, I can't remember but worth checking out as I love this.I always use my lip stain on my lips before applying any lipstick as this makes my lipstick last longer and if throughout the day my lipstick comes off, my lips still have some colour on. As my eye make up is usually quite simple I love to add a bold lip colour as this makes me instantly feel more dressy and am not such a big fan of nude lips unless I do very dramatic eyes. So I opted for my signature red lips for this look which is one of fave colours to have on my lips all year round. 

Enjoy

Happy New Year

Hellooo alll, I know its been too long since I last blogged but I have been so busy with work and family and I have not had the time to capture my looks or do anything that interesting other than my everyday make up look which I will probably do a blog about. But I am definitely going to start blogging again now that I have more time. Anywayy I hope you all had a lovely break and celebrations, also a very big happy new year to you all :) 

I am loving all the winter looks and colours which I have been wanting to blog about for a while now so that will be coming soon!! =D Its been great having my family and their kids over but I have missed the peace and quiet lol. For my little nieces third birthday we had a fancy dress party which was so much fun and I dressed up as a cat and of course did cat eyes...Meow! I have not got any close ups of my eye make up to write step by step what I actually did but it involved a lot of eye liner. I will do a similar look to this minus the nose and whiskers to show you all as I did something different with my eye shadow. Oh and I chopped off my ombre ends as they got so dry and horrible and I have decided to grow out the colour in my hair and maybe be cutting my hair short.....hmm. Look of the day will be up as soon as am feeling better because am ill again, becoming the story of my life :( 

Hope you have had a great day!
