January Party Make Up + Outfit!

1 February 2015

Saturday was my Dad's birthday party so I thought it would be appropriate to do a party make up look and outfit, enjoy!

Eyes

I went for a gold shimmery eye shadow look using a mixture of shades from my Naked, Naked 2 and Vice 3 palette! When I am doing my eye make up I like to set the 3 palettes out in front of me and just dip in and out of each one and mix the shades together. I then did my winged eyeliner with Benefit's They're Real liner. I also used Tanya Burr Individual lashes in this look, I am obsessed with them! I love them so much more than full false lashes, they look so much more natural and you can create your own desired look. However I must warn you, this takes time, patience and a steady hand! I then went over the lashes with Benefit's Bad Gal Lash mascara to bind my natural lashes and the false ones together. 
Shades I used
Naked: sidecar, buck, smog, darkhorse
Naked 2: half baked, chopper, YDK
Vice 3: bobby dazzle, sonic, lucky, last sin


Face

I primed my face with Smashbox's Photofinish primer, which is perfect if you are at a party and need to keep your make up on all night. 
I used Nars Sheer Glow foundation which I am testing out at the moment and I am really growing to like it, it is not too think and looks very natural and glowing. 
I then used Nars Laguna bronzer, Nars Final Cut blush from the Virtual Cheek Domination palette which is my best friend at the moment! 
For highlight I used Benefit's High Beam which I wrote about in my last post, it is amazing!
 For concealer, to no ones surprise, I used Nars creamy concealer in the shade vanilla. Hands down, best concealer EVER. Can you tell I am having a bit of a Nars phase at the moment? I feel like I may do a Nars one brand make up look soon possibly?

Lips

On my lips I have my new favourite lipstick, Diva, by MAC. It is a matte finish so it has good staying power and I just love deep red lipstick, ahhhh. 



For my outfit I wore my sparkly All Saints dress that I got from my parents for christmas. This dress is just stunning and I am definitely one for sparkles! It is called the Lyle Tee Dress and you can check it out by clicking here! My shoes are from Kurt Geiger and are called Glance, they are black suede and have an luminous yellow sole which I think looks quite cool. I have definitely had my wear out of these heels already. You can purchase the shoes here and they are also on ASOS.


Heres a dress close up!

New loved products

25 January 2015

Hello everyone, in this little post I will talk about some products that I have just started using in the past month and have fallen in love with! So I thought I would share them with you...


Benefit - Badgal lash mascarra
I have so many mascaras that I love so I am always swapping between them. I never use just one constantly. But I must say this one has to be one of my favourites this month. It provides amazing length and volume whilst not clumping your lashes together. It has a brush applicator which I prefer to the plastic ones. But the main plus to this mascara is that it lasts without producing fall out through out the day! There is nothing more that I hate than passing a mirror whilst going about my day and seeing that it looks like I have been crying. So this mascara does the trick, thank you Benefit!

Smashbox - Under eye primer
Now Smashbox are famously known for their incredible photo finish primer and this Under eye primer is equally as good! It stops my concealer from creasing or sliding down my face and keeps it put. It has a hint of highlight to brighten up the under eye area and it is also very moisturizing and soft. I love it and never apply my make up without it!

Benefit - High Beam
Now who doesn't love a good highlighted cheek bone? This is a liquid/cream highlighter with a brush applicator that is attached to the lid, like a nail varnish brush. You simply draw a line along your cheek bone and blend, either with a blending brush or just your finger tips. It is such a pretty highlighter that looks so beautiful, especially when the light catches it. I strongly recommend this, probably my favourite product this month! Part of me is wondering why it has took me so long to try it!

Thank you for stopping by
