Daily Eyeshadow Look using Born Pretty Makeup!

Hey Guys!

I'm having great fun with my new makeup palette from Born Pretty Store so I thought I'd show you another look. It's the one I've been wearing to work for the last few days, I hope you like it!

I find when I do simple looks they never want to photograph well so I've only got one close up pic, sorry!

As always it's over ELF Eye Primer and NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk.

P88 Palette

I used the two bottom left colours as my main eyelid shade, the three lightest browns on the right in the crease, to blend out and to add a little sparkle.

The white in the top left as my highlighter, and the darkest two from the bottom right corner to darken my lashline; like eyeliner but without the thick black line!

To finish, MAC Plush Lash Mascara and Benefit They're Real, and done.

Aaand this is why I don't take photos of my face. Haha!

If anyone wants to see a 'tutorial' (or list basically...) of what I use on my face, then let me know and I'll get started on a post!

I use Benefit Hoola to contour, MAC's Lightscapade as my highlighter, and just the moisture Babylips on my lips as they are so dry because of the cold!

 

So just a quick post today! I hope you like it!

Christmas Past Eyeshadow Look!

Hey guys!
As promised, here's my look using all my new products from Born Pretty Store!
I wanted to start doing some Christmas looks but for some reason my brush went straight for the gorgeous pastel pink colour! This look reminds me of everything from my Christmas past. When I was little I wanted Barbie dolls, jewellery, makeup - anything as long as it was girly! And I always lovely my Christmas party dresses!

All the colours I used were over ELF primer and NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk, and they all came from the P88 Palette from Born Pretty.

I thought I'd make life easy and show you the colours I used in this look :)

I also used my princess lashes in M-3 which were so easy to wear and they looked great too. Sometimes eyelashes can be quite heavy on your eyes, and can make you look half asleep because of the weight of them however it wasn't the case for these little lovelies!

All the colours were very pigmented, even the baby pink which I couldn't believe! I also used the darkest purple on my waterline and with a bit of Mac's Fix+ I used it as an eyeliner too!

The only brushes I used were the ones from Born Pretty! The pencil brush and fluffly angled brush were a dream to work with. The C brush needs a few washes to try and soften it a bit! It was a little harsh on the skin but it packed eyeshadow on brilliantly.

I thought this look would be great with some sparkle so I used a mix of a lilac and silver cream glitter from a halloween wet'n'wild palette for a touch of sparkly eyeliner.

My mascara as always is MAC's plush lash and Benefit's They're Real.

 

I can't wait to do another look using this palette! I have so many ideas!

I hope you like this look, don't forget to check out the born pretty store and use GEG10 for 10% off!

New Pretties From Born Pretty Store!

Hello Everyone!

I hope everyone's in the Christmassy spirit! I'm so excited! Whilst I'm writing this I'm listening to 100 Christmas Hits for Kids! haha

This week I've received some lovely products for reviewing from bornprettystore.com which is an online store that sells everything girly going! They are located in China which makes shipping take 2-4 weeks to reach the UK, but mine arrived a lot sooner than I was expecting! I think it came in 2 weeks which was great.

They have a huge selection of makeup, nail polishes (including holos! happy girly...) nail art, jewellery, contact lenses, hair accessories, phone cases... the list goes on, and all at very reasonable prices with free worldwide shipping! How could anyone complain at that?

My first item was this P88 eyeshadow palette

For me that palette is amazing! I wanted this one in particular because the majority of the colours are matte which are my favourite to work with, and only a few have shimmer to them. I have already done a look using this palette, which I will upload very soon!

I was pleasantly surprised with how pigmented the colours were too! Payoff was great and not too chalky. It's currently on their site for £11.65!

I can't wait to do some more looks with this palette! Some of the colours remind me of Sigma Creme De Couture Palette, beautiful pastel shades.

Next were these lovely eyelashes! I like natural looking false lashes, ones that lengthen rather than weigh my eyes down! Princess eyelashes in M-3 are perfect for this. They have a clear strip at the top, which already makes them look a lot less fake than others and they are so light to wear.

I'm wearing these in my next eyeshadow look so you can judge them for yourself, but 10 pairs for £5.24, you can't really go wrong! One pair of my favourite eyelure lashes costs that!

My last product is this red 7pc brush kit. I'm usually picky with brushes and don't like buying them online because you don't know if they're going to be any good or not, but I wanted to get 3 items from born pretty store which I could use all together in a look, so I thought brushes were the best thing to try.

They come in a great travel bag which is definitely going to come in handy, with 7 red handled brushes. The first 2 brushes (smudge sponge and lip brush) are the quality you'd expect for £4.90 but I really like all the other brushes!

Going down, you have the smudge sponge thing, lip brush, stiff angled brush, fluffy angled brush, blush brush (perfect for contouring) stiff C brush (great for packing on colour) and my favourite out of them all, the fluffy pencil brush.

I love the last brush! It's great for adding eyeshadow into the crease and soo good at blending! It's bigger than a pencil brush but smaller than a blending brush... I love it, it's great! And the fluffy angled brush is wonderful too! These two will definitely get a lot of use!

 

Overall I'm actually really please with the products! Seeming the prices are so reasonable you expect the products to be a bit hit and miss, but I will definitely be purchasing some pieces from this site! I keep going on and finding new things I want to try out like their beautiful holographic nail polishes and some more eyelashes.

 

The lovely people at Born Pretty Store have even sent me a 10% off code for all you lovely readers!

Just enter GEG10 at checkout!

How amazing is that?!

 

Let me know if you go on their site/purchase anything and what you think of the products!

I will post a look using everything in this post ASAP!

American Makeup Haul!

Hey guys, thought I better get back into blogging properly!
Shopping for makeup in America was just amazing! I think my boyfriend got bored very quickly of me dragging him around the shops, but I've never been into a Sephora or Ulta before. OH. MY. GOD. It's like heaven! Everything was so much cheaper too! I loved it and can't wait to go back some day!
Anyway, here's some pictures of what I picked up, I can't wait to get some looks going! And sorry about some crappy photos! It started to get dark really early and my set up space sucked!

 

Well I hope you liked my purchases! I'm sure I'll do more detailed reviews of the products in the future and they'll all feature in some looks I'm planning!

I can't wait see what I can come up with!
