Halloween ideas!

Hey guys! I am soo excited that I'll be spending Hallowe'en in America this year!! I love Hallowe'en so I thought I might do a few Hallowe'en inspired looks! I've done a few practise runs so thought I'd show you a few things that will be coming up on my blog!
Red ombre lips! Perfect for Evil Queens or Vampires!

Werewolf! Obviously I would block out my brow but it's such a pain in the ass I only half attempted it! Some wolf-like contact lenses would be awesome with this look! I'm too scared to use them!

Pixie/ Fairy Look! Minus some awesome colorful lashes, bright eyeliner and glitter! And My Evil Queen/ Vampire look!

My Evil Queen / Vampire Inspired eye makeup! My favourite! I can't wait to do this one properly with some super intense raven-esque eyelashes!
 
So that's just a few of my ideas! I'll start doing them properly and hopefully get some blog posts out soon! I'm so excited for Hallowe'en! What are people going to be dressing up as?

Makeup Looks that didn't make the cut...

Hey everyone, I haven't done any recent looks as I've had a cold the last couple of days but I'm looking forward to getting back into it! I've got lots of ideas!

Here's a few pics of makeup looks that I've done that haven't made it onto my blog :) Either I hadn't had enough good photos, or I wasn't happy with the outcome of the final look! If you like any though, leave me a comment below and I'll redo the look and post it up!
This look was meant to be one from the Disney series, for the snake from The Jungle Book, but I wasn't happy with it, it looked too normal! haha
This was my Ursula look from the Disney series, but once again, I wasn't happy enough with it!

So that's them, I'm sure I've got more looks but the pictures sucked! Hopefully I'll have some more looks up by the end of the week! I've already done one look, fingers crossed for another tomorrow now that I'm feeling better :)

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

Disney Series: Sugar Rush Land from Wreck-It Ralph!

Hellooo lovely people!
I finally have another look ready, wohoo! And lots more in mind that I can't wait to get started on!

I got so excited when Wreck-It Ralph came out on dvd, it's by far one of the best movies Disney has released in ages! I love it! It came out just at the right time too, lined up perfectly with Sleek's Candy Collection! A Sugar Rush look just had to be done!

I took inspiration from a photo I found on google, the idea came straight into my head and I couldn't wait to finish work and come home to play with my makeup! It was literally the first thing I did!
















I love it when I'm this excited about a look, I can't wait to share it! I hope you guys like it too!
I picked out the green and pink mainly and used the purple from the twirly lolly pops for a little extra colour! :)
























The Candy and Ultra Matts V1 i-Divine Sleek Palettes were the perfect colours for this look! I've only used the Candy palette once and I'm already in love with it, I'll post a review on it soon.























If the colours weren't already perfect enough, the names of the are amazing too! Strawberry Sherbet, Bon Bon, Bubble Gum, Pear Drop, Mint Green, Flump... I love them, completely inspired!
Trying to show off some of that glitter! Hard to capture.
The colours I used from this palette were Apple Sour and Mint Cream on the lids, Strawberry Sherbet, Bon Bon and Aniseed for crease and above the crease, Bon Bon underneath the lower lashes and Cream Soda in the inner corner.




I also used my Ultra Matts V1 palette, and used Cricket and as a base shade for my lid and Bolt on the outer third of my lid. I used a mix of Pucker and Pout as a base for the more glittery pinks in the Candy palette, and also as an eyeliner on my lower water line. I used Floss to blen out the pink and Pow! as my highlight shade.


I tried out my new Eylure #100 lashes, and as I expected... they're amazing! Really lightweight and easy to apply. I used the glue it comes with for once and it was amazing! I usually use Duo Glue but this definitely gives it a run for its money. I'm not sure if I'd trust it all night, but definitely good for blogging. Goes tacky very quickly though so work fast!
My eyeliner is by Collection 2000, it's a fine liner pen in a gorgeous purple! Suits the look brilliantly.
 
 
 
 
I hope you like my look! Please leave me a comment if you do, and if you have any ideas of characters I could do next, let me know! x

Disney Series: Shere Khan from The Jungle Book!

Hey Guys, Here's another look from my Disney Collection!
I love doing this collection, it's really nice always finding ideas on what to do and getting inspiration. Whenever I go to sit down at my makeup table, if  I don't have a clear picture in my head of what I want to do, It usually goes horribly wrong!

This looked is based off the tiger from The Jungle Book, Shere Khan. I used to love watching this film as a kid but I haven't seen it in years! This was actually the second look I did from the Disney Series but I didn't like it! I've since redone it and simplified, which is sometimes so much more effective than over complicating things


Unless you're going to go OTT there's not a lot you can do with a tiger... haha I didn't want to do too much as I wanted it to be a wearable look, so I've kept it nice and simple and elongated the matte black eyeliner, for a cats eye look.




As always, the majority of the colours came from one of my Sleek palettes! This time the V1 mattes for a change! The first time I used this palette I found the colours quite chalky but that's to be expected from such bright pigment, however it doesn't seem to be the case any more. They blend beautifully and the colours are so vivid and rich! Can't explain how much I love these palettes!



For Shimmer in my inner corner, I added MAC's baby, it's cold outside eyeshadow, which was released within a christmas set last year, and I also used my BeautyUk palette which has some gorgeous burnt orange colours which really came in handy for creating beautiful shape and shadow.

My eyeliner is Collection 2000's waterproof liquid eyeliner and my lashes are called Hearbreaker by LetsGo (I think from the Blink+Go family?) 

And that's pretty much it!
If you used a more coral toned orange and brown eyeliner this would be a lovely summers day look!

Disney Series: Mater from Cars!

Hey guys! Sorry it's been so long since I've posted a makeup look! Life gets hectic sometimes, but I've got a few new looks ready to post in the next few days! And here's the latest! Mater!

This one was requested by my boyfriend! I've made him a little Disney crazy lately, my bad! But I love it! His favourite is Cars so he gave me the idea to do Mater!





Mater is such a cutie pie! This look is much more wearable than the latest few I've done, so it was nice to mix it up a bit! I was a little worried as there isn't a lot of colour going on, but once I saw a few more pictures I realised the last of his teal paintwork, and added a rusty gold to match his sparkly personality!



I even added his little crow bar as my wing! N'awww! Once again, the majority of the colours were from my Sleek V2 Palette, I would be lost without it! The pigment you get from the colours are incredible and the price is fantastic! I can't wait to go and visit my boyfriend so I can get some more palettes! (I can't get them on the Isle of Wight, boo!)

The gold shadow is Half Baked by Urban Decay and the brown eyeliner is from a Beauty UK palette (I also used the burnt red from the palette for a little more rusty depth!)


I cut up an old pair of eyelashes which were from Collection 2000 and just used a few strands on the outer lash line to give little Mater some get up and go! I didn't want to use strip lashes because I think they would have been a bit over powering. For me this is more of a wearable daytime look, and unlike some, I can't stand lashes enough to be able to wear them all throughout the day! That would take a lot of getting used to...


I hope you like my latest look! Sorry the photos aren't great, I did it at the wrong time of day and just couldn't get the light to work with me! Damn nature...

As always, if you have any idea on what Disney Characters I could do next, please let me know!

Hope you're all enjoying the sunshine! x x

Disney Series: Kevin from UP!

Hey Guys!
I'm enjoying doing this Disney Series so so much! I love everything about Disney so to be able to recreate some of my favourite characters for me, is amazing! I hope you like the latest addition to the series - Kevin (the bird) from Up! I kept thinking about who I could do next, but nothing was really coming to me until my boyfriend reminded me of Up! As soon as I thought of Kevin I knew exactly what I wanted to do!




Kevin's so bright and colourful, I knew this was going to be a fun one to do! I wanted to keep it pretty simple still, so it's wearable for a festival or something, so didn't go crazy with feather eyeliner or like what I did for Iago from Aladdin.




All of the gorgeous bright colours are from Sleek V1 Mattes Palette. I'm having so much fun with this palette! I bought it a while ago now and haven't really found the time to use the colours so this was the perfect opportunity for them to show their potential and I LOVE IT! Also, if you're using bright colours, to make sure they pop as much as they can, use a white base first! I used NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk.



Eyelashes are by Eylure #146, and they are so so beautiful. I love the feathered effect they give, really girly and pretty! I did have a little miss-hap with them though! I should really cut them down a little but I forgot and managed to glue them too close to the inner corner of my eye and they hurt like hell! I didn't notice it at first, but my eye started watering and made my eyeliner smudge ALL over the yellow eyeshadow!!! I tried to fix it as best as I could, but there's a lesson learnt! CUT DOWN EYELASHES TO FIT YOUR EYE! Remember that one next time Georgia...


Anyway, that's my look for Kevin from Up, I hope you guys like it!
If you have any ideas of characters you'd like to see my attempt please comment below!
 
And I've just got a new Instagram purely for my makeup it's EnchantedMakeup so please check that out :D

Disney Series: MALEFICENT!

Hey Guys!
Here's my latest look from the Disney Series, Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty! The Idea came from the beautiful and talented Meredith from Pigments & Palettes!

I'm going to upload about 101 photos of this look, sorry! I took it in different light, and in all of them it looks so so gorgeous! This is still quite a wearable look, if you like bold colours :)





 Obviously my main colours were going to be purple and green, with some very sharp lines! I've got to give it to them, they might all be villans but they know style...




 As always, I started with my Urban Decay Primer Potion, then added NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk all over my eye, to make sure the beautiful colours popped!


I've used Eylure's Naturalites #146 because they reminded my of Maleficent's feathery friend... They aren't too over powering but definitely brought a slight edge to the look which is what I wanted :)


ALL the colours I used in this look come from the Sleek V1 and V2 palettes! All of the colours are so easy to blend, and seeming some of them are quite bright and chalky they're still really easy to work with which is amazing seeming the price of these palettes are so reasonable! I'd be lost without them!



Please let me know what you think in the comments below and if you have any ideas of what Disney Character look I could do next! I always love hearing from you guys! :)

Hope you like! x x

Lush Oxford Street! Haul and Make-up Review

Hey guys! Yesterday I got to go to the brand new Lush store on Oxford Street! It was absolutely amazing! They opened the doors a day early f...
