Summer Sunset Makeup Look

Hey guys!
I seem to be posting a lot of makeup looks at the moment, I hope you don't mind!
I have a few more product reviews coming later this week!
But for now, another look. This one was inspired by some gorgeous summer sunset images I've seen on holiday brochures (a girl can dream) and I instantly wanted to do a look, I hope you like it!
To prime my eyes I used ELF eye primer (costs £1.50 and it's amazing) and NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk.
Next I applied the bright coral shade from my P88 Palette from Born Pretty all over my eyelid.
In the crease and outer corner of my eye I went in with Meteoric (Sleek Celestial Palette) and Maple (Sleek UMV2)
To darken my crease I applied Villan and Highness (Sleek UMV2) with a stiff pencil brush.
To blend the colours together and soften the edges I used a baby pink shade from the P88 Palette. Finally I added Blanc Type by Mac to by brow bone and inner corner, and the eyeshadow is done.
After I took the pictures I did add Oyster from Sleek's Lagoon Palette and it looked gorgeous! For this look though, I wanted the attention to be on the eyeliner.
The eyeliner I used for my wing is Urban Decay Perversion 24/7 liquid liner, and then I went over the top half with Eldorado - such a sparkly gold.
Finally I used Stila Stingray to line my waterline, Max Factor Excess Mascara and my favourite lashes, Eylure #100's and the looks a good'un.
 
I loved this look and hated having to take it off! Although it's bright it was actually really wearable and is definitely going to be a look I will recreate for myself sometime :)
I hope you like this look, I would love to know your thoughts!

Nicola Crawford Jewellery!

I'm very lucky to have the boyfriend that I have! He works in the public eye and managed to get me some amazing jewellery this week! I had to share it with you guys!


























Nicola Crawford is a jewellery designer based in Kent, here's just a little snippet of what her website says about her work:

'Nicola designs romantic feminine jewellery inspired by her love of nostalgia each collection telling a story whilst retaining a contemporary look'
I'm awful at explaining, that makes life so much easier! All of her pieces are hand finished personally, which makes every piece unique!

For a start, how friggin cute are the boxes! Wax stamps and everythinggggg!
 

This was my first piece, from her Secret Garden collection. I loved the theme, and have always had a thing about keys! Goes with my Tiffany's Lock Ring really well! I've worn this necklace every day and have only taken it off to take these pictures! I'm absolutely in love with it!
Link HERE!


These cute keys were handcrafted from sterling silver, and one has been oxidised to add contrast, which I love! What I also like, which you often don't see, is that the chain can be put on 2 different lengths. So depending on the shape of the neck on what you're wearing, the necklace will sit perfectly either way!
























My other piece, is this gorgeous, amazing, shiny, eye-catching, beautiful, freeking awesome Ivy Ring! Yep, I like it! It goes on every time I step out the front door and I am constantly getting compliments on it!

























It has been cast from the imprint of a real leaf, and sits across two fingers. I love that the shank looks like the stem of the ivy! It makes it look so delicate and cute!
Link HERE!























It's so shiny! Can you tell the difference between the quality of Nicola Crawford and Tiffany's? No. Because there is none! If anything, the hard work and finishing touches of Nicola's work makes it so much nicer and more special.


Personally, I've always chosen silver over gold... but I did see the gold versions of both of these little beauts and they are soo stunning! Everything on her site is so pretty! It's definitely worth checking out her link > here < especially when there's free worldwide delivery and 30% OFF AT THE MOMENT! (just enter the code SUMMER at the checkout) Check it out, NOWWWWWWW!

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

MAC HAUL!

Hey Guys!
I was going to do just one haul post but it got too big! So here's all the Mac I've accumulated recently!

Rhythm - Lipglass
FAVOURITE THING EVER. Oh my gosh it's the prettiest pinky purple in the world! This Lipglass came out with the Temperatures Rising collection from MAC (look at the pretty tube!) and for the life of me I have no idea how much it was! My boyfriend bought it but I think it was roughly £15. It's called Rhythm and is just so so amazing! I've worn it over Speed Dial and Lime Crime's airbourne unicorn and it looks amazing over both! Here's some more pretty pictures!

Imperial Light - Cremesheen Glass
This is the type of lipgloss I would happily wear everyday! It goes with every neutral, coral or orange based lipstick and is soo purdy! It's got amazing coverage so can be worn on it's on and still look stunning! I love wearing coral tones on my lips, and having this in my bag makes for easy touch ups during the day! It's a beautiful creamy coral with golden shimmer. My perfect shade!

Mineralized Skinfinish in Lightscapade
If I could, I would have babies with this. Bright, sparkly babies! I am a very pale girl at the best of times, always get asked if I'm ill! NO! I'M PALE! The more contour and colour I get on my face, the better! This beautiful highlighter gives me a HEALTHY glow! It's such a pretty shade! It has a subtle shimmer and a small amount of very fine glitter which looks beautiful and very natural on the skin. It's not got any over powering colour either. A beautiful highlighter! A staple product in my makeup bag now, I love it!

Pink Glitter - Baking Beauties
I was so excited to start using this product that the first time I opened it I was a DICK and dropped loads of it over my boyfriends bed! Oopsie! This was over a month ago and we're still finding it everywhere!!! Haha
This was a definite magpie moment. It just looked amazing! I am still in love with it, and really want to be able to do something with it...but I can't! I go so upset and down when I did a whole look for it to go over, went to add the glitter and just couldn't get it to stick! I tried every trick in the book, every product going and nothing was doing the trick! I was so brokenhearted I had to ring my boyfriend! I love all the looks using glitter, and couldn't wait to do one but it just ended up looking like a huge mess! D': maybe I can add it to my lips or nail art maybe...

Sushi Kiss - All About Orange
I was so excited about this collection when I heard it was coming out! I went straight online to have a look at some sneak peaks to see what I wanted to get, and gave the list to my boyfriend so he could go and get it the day it came out! haha We don't have a Mac on the Isle of Wight so I'm very grateful that my boyfriend's got one near him! I love corals and orange shades and my favourite lipstick (up until now) has been Vegas Volt which is a very bright orange! This isn't as bright, but still stands out! I was overly excited when I got these, so sorry I didn't have enough patience to photograph the lippies before I used them! Top right pic is with the flash on by the way :) The lipstick has a satin finish which means it stays put that little bit longer but does look more matte and can be slightly drying, so if you have problems with dry lips then I definitely recommend a lip balm or gloss to go over the top!

Sweet & Sour - All About Orange
My new favourite shade! On my God it's so perfect! Pink's always seem quite bright on me, I'm not sure if it's my complexion or what but I've always been fonder of wearing coral tones. I've always preferred neutral eyes and coral coloured blusher so this finishes the set! It's a very muted shade with a lovely finish. It's a cremesheen which means you might not get as long a wear out of it but it's easy to touch up and it you apply lip liner underneath first it should give it a better hold!
It's slightly sheer compared to sushi kiss butt that's to be expected from it's finish.
Photo on the right has been taken with the flash on, and I have no idea how I've managed to mess up the lipstick so much already! there's so many cuts in it and I've only worn it a couple of times! I must learn to look after my things!
Because it's a cremesheen though it is a lot softer, so you might realise that you'll go through them a lot quicker than other lipsticks! It takes more product to get a completely covered lip, that a matte or satin would!

Ok so that's my MAC Haul! I love the collections they've brought out this summer! Can't wait to see what other beauties I'll pick up!

Thanks for Reading :)

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
