Disney Series: Sully - Monsters University!

Hey guys! Sorry I've been MIA for a while! I've been staying with my boyfriend and although I've brought my laptop with me (with the intention to blog) we've been so busy that I haven't even had time to turn it on! I've missed it so much!
But better late than never! I've had this look to post since before the film came out, so it's a tad late but I love Sully so much, I have to show you guys! And I'm completely in love with the Katy Perry Color Pop for Eylure Lashes! So here's the look!

APOLOGIES FOR THE HUGE GAPS! Blogger is being and arse and I can't work out why the gaps between the photos and the text are so big! If anyone knows how to fit please help! Sorry!

I kept him bright but simple! My main inspiration for doing sully, were the lashes! They were the perfect colour blue so it had to be done!

HE'S JUST SO FLUFFY! I went to see the film last week and loved it! Personally I don't usually like prequels but this was amazing, I loved finding out about their pasts and how it all started! Sucker for Disney...
So anyway, here's the look, I used my Sleek Matts V1 and some shades from the V2. Also Aura from The Glinda palette by Urban Decay. I LOVE that duo shade - its amazing! Puts the finishing touches to just about every look I do!


The Spots were a bitch! haha It was a lot harder than I expected it to be! I cut up teeny tiny pieces of cello tape and stuck them on once I'd primed and gone over my lids with NYX jumbo eye pencil in milk. however then trying to fill them in was a nightmare! I used a sparkly E.L.F eyeliner and then used the brightest purple shade from Sleek Matts V1 palette on a lip brush (because it was the toughest) to apply the shadow.

I absolutely love these lashes, but the biggest problem for me was the seam! It was so thick it make it impossible to glue on properly and there's no way I could have worn them out which is gutting because they were so pretty! I'm definitely going to have to hunt for the same type of style, but without the blue layer, as I think that's what made it so thick!






















 Look how pretty they are! It makes me almost want to cry... the style is just so perfect! I ran the same colour blue which is on the majority of my lids, along my waterline and used the same purple under my eye.



















Still dying over the lashes... For my mascara I used Benefits They're Real - which I wasn't a huge fan of at first, but I've started using it over the top of my MAC plush lash and we're getting on alright at the moment... I love how it lengthens my lower lashes, makes me eyes look so much bigger!



So that's the look! I hope you guys like it, I'll try to get another look out soon! I haven't got any ready though so if anyone's got any ideas please let me know and I'll do my best for you! x x 

Sand & Sea Eye Of The Day... using Sleek & Urban Decay

Hey guys, It's been too long since I've posted looks! Getting back into it with avengence now!

I was playing around with makeup earlier and this is basically what I came up with :) I live on an Island so spend most of my time down the beach! This is a look to remind me that summers just around the corner! Can get back to the beach soon, wohoo!

 

 

I first primed my eyes with Urban Decay Primer Potion and then added a light layer of NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk over my eyelid as a solid base for the eye shadows.

All the eye shadows I used were from Sleek's Ultra Matts V2 Palette which I LOVE! I love all of the Sleek palettes I have, the pigment and blendability of the colours are amazing and the price is fantastic! Totally worth it and great for beginners; You can get so many looks out of just one Palette!

 

 

I used Dune in the inner third of my eyelid and blended it into Orbit, which I used to cover the rest of my eyelid and also take it over the crease. To define the crease I used Ink and smoothed out the edges with Pillow Talk. This alone was a beautiful look but I added a little bit of shimmer by using SideCar from Urban Decay over the inner half of my eyelid.

 

 

I followed on the line of Orbit under my lower lash line just to finish the look off. To me, if there's no colour under the lower lash line, it just looks unfinished! I didn't go the whole length of my lash line though because it makes your eyes look closed off and a lot smaller. By stopping just under the pupil it will make your eyes look a lot bigger and brighter!

 

 

For eyeliner, I've done a double line and wing using 2 Gel Eyeliners from E.L.F. The first one I used was a turquoise blue with a slight gold shimmer in D20 (It doesn't say a name sorry) and the second with a navy blue called Midnight.

To finish it off I used MAC Plush Lash Mascara and Urban Decay, Perversion 24/7 Pencil Eyeliner just on my waterline.

 

 

I hope you like the look! Please let me know what you think by leaving a comment below. I like finding new blogs at the moment so if you've got one please send me a link!

 

Love & Peace x

Happy Endings...

Hello blogging world! Wow this is weird, I haven't done it in so long! I don't want to bore you with why I haven't blogged in ages but I basically lost all motivation and people brought me down. However, It's a new year and I have beautiful people in my life that make me smile and give me the encouragement I need to pursue my love of makeup! I feel like a very lucky girl!

Seeming I haven't done a makeup look in so long for you guys, I thought I'd start the year with one! I haven't really done them recently because I haven't had a decent camera but my wonderful boyfriend has kindly lent me his! Isn't he a sweetie...

I couldn't be happier with the quality of the pictures! I'm so fussy when it comes to lighting etc that it's nice I can relax so much with a camera! Please Click on the pics for a better look! They look amazing, I hate how they come up so small on here!

 



I've fallen in love with an OPI nail polish called Rally Pretty Pink, which is a gorgeous pinky, purple shimmer with a golden duo chrome, I would of uploaded a picture of it but it's a bitch to photograph so apologies! Anyway, my look is basically based on that polish, which I thought might be a cool idea for a makeup series? Corresponding makeup to your favourite nail polish... what do you guys think? (that's if anyone reads this! If you're like me, you just look at the pictures!)

 

 

 

 

The shadows are all a bit of a mix really. I started with Urban Decay PP, NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk and then patted on the purple shade from the Sleek Idivine Acid palette all over my eyelid and blended it out with MUA's shade 18. To draw attention to the centre of my eye I used Highness from Sleeks Ultra Matts V2 palette in the outer and inner corners of my eye and also lightly in the crease and blended out on my lower lash line. This alone looks amazing, but I love a bit of sparkle so I added UD's Half Baked to the centre of my eyelid and slightly blended it out. To Finish off I used Pillow Talk from Sleek's V2 palette as a brow highlight, UD's Perversion eyeliner pencil and Mac's black lash Push Lash mascara.

I didn't really know what to do with my lips so I went GOLD! I started with Natural Nymph from ELF, then applied a clear lipgloss and patted on Urban Decay's Half Baked eyeshadow. Finally I added Fairy Cake lipgloss from Butter London and lips are done. PS: WEIRD uploading a photo of my lips. I hate them!

 

 



And that is that! Look done :) I forgot how much I LOVE playing around with makeup and trying new things! I've recently bought loads from Urban Decay (fallen in love <3 again!) and can't wait to try out the Glinda Palette!

I think I'm gonna do a quick post from my phone at some time, just to show you all the looks I've done and stuck on instagram (soo lazy) because I really loved some of them! But I'm definitely going to start photographing them properly for you guys!

I hope you like it and can't wait to do another look! Please let me know what you think by writing a comment below :)

Love as always! x

SHIT, I've hit pan!

Hello there! It's been a while...

I'm slacking, I know! I promise to post more soon!!! I've got a week off work and no plans, so I'll make sure to post more then!!

I've been trying my hardest not to buy ANY makeup untill I go on holiday at the end of the month (going to Florida - will buy SO much when I'm away!)

So, I'm using up a lot of my products, and It's killing me, not being able to buy more!! I love pretty much every product in this post...

Look at the empty pans.... I want to cry a little.

E.L.F Complexion Perfection: I think this is pretty much a love or hate product. I HATE dewy looking skin, just can't deal with it. So once I've applied my foundation this little beaut goes on straight away! With all the colours mixed it can make you look pale... however, I'm pale anyway so it's not noticeable! It has a lovely matte finish and evens out any redness on my cheeks leaving my skin looking so perfect!

My No7 Blush in Soft Damson has been my go to blush since the beginning of time! You can build the colour up for something dramatic but a quick pat on your cheeks will leave you with a beautiful natural flush. I like to wear a lot of colour on my eyes so I tend to always choose this blush as otherwise, it will be colour overload! I'm not even sure if you can still get this colour... I might actually cry if I can't purchase another!!!

17 Photo Flawless Skin Primer was the first primer I ever bought! I used it for a while and then went over to E.L.F's mineral primer (not fantastic...) and after finishing that, converted back to this one! Neither of them in my eyes are fantastic but photo flawless is definitely better! It has a little colour but nothing that's going to make a huge difference to your face. The E.L.F primer was clear whereas this one is kind of white... I need to search for a new primer! Any ideas?

Well hello there love of my life Line Definer Liquid Eyeliner by Maybelline, how ya doin? Without this pen my life has no meaning. As much as I love gel eyeliner, It's a pain in the ass when you're in a rush! And I don't actually own a plain black liquid liner. Brushes annoy me. This little pen is a gem! I would seriously be lost without it! It's so easy to use and get the perfect wing! Also if you're going for a cat eye, THIS is what you need. You can get such great lines with it!!! I may buy 5 more... never want to run out! I've used many pen liners and this is by far my favourite!

I religiously used Urban Decay Primer Potion for years until I bought E.L.F's Eyelid Primer and realised how shockingly bad UDPP is! It's true. I could probably buy 14 of these for the same price as one UDPP, and it's soo much better! I use this everyday when I wear eyeshadow and can't imagine life without it... however I'm almost at the end! D': I need to stay strong... wait for America and buy more there!!!

OK this product I know ever little about, apart from it was made by Gods to make your hair feel as soft as an angels feathers.

It's Authentic Cleansing Nectar by Devines and it's for your hair/body and smells like heaven. Very citrusy and fresh! I received it in my glossy box last month and adore it! So upset that i've used it all though! Will have to track it down and buy more! (If it's not a ridiculous price...I'm skint.)

Last but not least is my Barry M nail paint in Mint Green. It might look full in the picture but it's definitely not. Only just goes up to the Barry M sign! I bought this last year with about 5 other bright Barry M colours to do some nail marbling with and as awesome as they come out, It takes up a lot of product! I'm seriously in love with this colour and will definitely be purchasing another pastel green to replace it. I desperately want to try OPI's Mermaid's Tears from the POTC collection!

So there's the round up of my misery. I'm coming to an end of most of my favourite products! However, by the end of the month I'm going to be in Florida buying so much makeup it's going to be insane. I can't wait!!!

Love & Peace x

Enchanted...

Hi guys! I hope everyone had a lovely Valentine's :) I got absolutely spoilt by my boyfriend! Was a lovely day, what did everyone else get up to?

Here's some more pictures from our shoot the other day :D I hope you guys like it!

The colours I used were a bit of a mix... Mainly from my NYX 78 eyeshadow palettes... however the yellow and green were from the Sleek Acid palette. Eyelashes are by Eyelure No. 107 I think?! I went to buy the new katy perry ones and the had all sold out?! WTF. I live on the isle of wight... this sort of stuff doesn't happen! THAT or they just haven't stocked them yet.... either way there was none there!
Lips are a mix of Barry M in 52 and Lime Crime's Airborne Unicorn :)

Hope you guys like it :) Leave me a comment :)

Love & Peace x

Now you're just somebody that I used to know...

Hi Guys, this week I finally had a day off where I could meet up with my photographer friend and take some nice pics of my makeup :) *Oh Happy Days...*

So here you go :) I won't chat away... because if you're like me you only really look at the photos anyway! haha

This was look number one.. I did a couple of others but not sure how i feel about them yet... will upload one later :)

Just a very simple but very eye catching natural cut crease look created using an array of matte shadows from my ELF 6 in 1 on the go palette, which I am currently in love with! I wasn't expecting the shadows to be so pigmented!

Teamed with some bold brows, nude lips and bronzed cheeks I'm really happy with how this look turned out :)

Let me know what you guys think :)

Happy Valentine's Day! xxx

Anti-Valentines....

For any Valentine's Haters... here you go...

A very different look for me... not something I would ever wear out! A bit dark... but so gorgeous! And how simple can you get? 2 colours? Awesome. Another look using my ELF 6 in 1 on the go palette (or whatever it's called...) And I'm pretty excited about ELF bringing out a huge palette to hold them all in! DESPERATELY NEEDED!!!! I've managed to smash one of the eyeshadows already ¬_¬ Pissed off with myself to the max.

The colours in the palette's are insane! Some are so gorgeous and remind me a lot of the Nars eyeshadows.

I have my camera back but it still sucks... couldn't get a very good photo... sorry about that! Will be getting a new camera in the next few months... probably mid march? fingers crossed!

please click to enlarge images!

I was looking into doing a new series but now I'm not so sure... This would have been one of the looks! I was going to do a Vampire Diaries Series, and this beaut would have been my Damon... *dreamy blue eyes...* but yeah, I'm not so sure now! Really want to do a series >< will have to have a think :D

Any ideas on a series I could do? Would love some ideas!!!

Love & Peace x

Valentines Eye Makeup... No.1 Take 2.

Okay so this is the same as my first Valentine's look, I've just done the whole face instead of just one eye! haha Also, It's my birthday this weekend so need a look for when I go out! So was doing this as a bit of a test run! Please let me know what you think :)

If you want to see close up pictures of my eye makeup, there's a whole post on it two posts before this one!
Very simple look colour wise... white, black and a light brown/ nude. All you really need is a nice array of brushes and a felt tip eyeliner, You can get such perfect sharp lines!

The top picture is from my previous post, pretty much exactly the same eye but with bigger lashes and more glitter! I teamed it up with a LOT of glitter this time! And some huge thick black lashes from Eyelure! (No.107) When using a lot of black for a smokey eye I think you need to be a bit more daring with eyelashes and really go big! Without falsies I'd look like I didn't have any!
When there's so much going on with the eyes I find a nude lip very flattering, and makes sure all the attention is on your eyes!

aaaand because I can't help myself...

click to enlarge photos! They look much better... haha

I get way too bored in front of the camera....

If you want to know what I used for my eyes...
NYX jumbo pencil in Milk
ELF white matte eyeshadow (don't know if it has a name but it's my favourite white!)
No.7 Kohl Liner in Black
Sleek black matte eyeshadow
Maybelline Line Definer Liquid Eyeliner Pen in Noir - Black
Mac Plush Lash Mascara
Eyelure 107

Love & Peace x

Valentine's makeup take 2...

Hello lovelies! How is everyone? Looking forward to Valentines?...

I recently got the 6 in 1 on the go palette by ELF and have been playing around with it trying out different looks! This is my most recent and the one I've been wearing the most!

I'm in love with it! It's a sultry, smokey purple eye with a good load of contouring and soft nude lips. I did do it with a creamy pink lip too which looked lush as well!

Right basically, I can't chose a favourite photo so you're getting them all! Click on any image to enlarge

First off with a nude lip, I went for a mix of Natural Nymph and Nostalgic by ELF and OPI tease-y does it lip gloss (clear jelly with gold micro glitter)

Up close it doesn't look like my does it? It's just a very ombre-styled purple smokey eye! Very simple winged eyeliner, nothing fancy.

REALLY can't keep a straight face! haha And seeming I used to always add a stupid face at the end, I thought I'd throw it in ;)
Same eyes, new lips. A really gorgeous Pink! Made using Lime Crime Airborne Unicorn, Fearless by ELF and Natural Nymph. Totally addicted to making my own lip colours!!

This was the next day, I did the same eyes but changed the lips up again and added an apricot tint! I love orange and purple together! It rocked! I made this colour with Barry M's 53, Captivating by ELF and Natural Nymph (again) also by ELF.

PS, How cute is my horse/lace top!! £6 from Primark! AND I bought myself a new charger so WOHOO! I have a camera again!

Love & Peace xx
