Sleek Snaphots Look #2

Hey guys!
I know I said I was going to do a look using Sleek's V2 palette, but I opened Snapshots and Sunset just looked so beautiful I couldn't resist it!
I hope you like my look!

It's so bright and fiery! This look really came alive in the photos - so summery!

To start this look I used my ELF primer and NYX JEP in Milk all over my eyes.

As a base for my eyelid and crease I used Washed Ashore, and then blended Sand Walker into my Crease.

Next, I applied Tequila Sunrise all over my eyelid, and used Sunset to define my outer corner and crease.

I went back over with Sand Walker and Washed Ashore to make sure it was well blended out!

In my inner corner I applied Martini, and Tequila Sunrise under my eyes.

My eyeliner is Urban Decay Perversion Liquid Liner, and on my lashline is Bourbon khol liner by Urban Decay.

Mascara is Urban Decay Super Curling Mascara and my eyelashes are of course Eylure #100's.

So that's my look! I hope you like it, leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

Inglot Eyeshadow Look

Hello guys! Sorry I've been gone so long! I've recently got a new job so I haven't had as much free time as I did before. I've got a few days off now though so hoping to get some more posts ready!
Every since I got my new Inglot shades, I've wanted to play around with them - finally I got the chance! I hope you like my look!

Inglot shade 369, the light blue, was so pigmented and easy to blend, a great surprise from such a pastel colour. Not at all chalky and pay off was fantastic, I will definitely be visiting Inglot sometime soon for some similar colours!

I've blended it with Highness and Villan in the very outer corner, from Sleek V2 Palette, and the pink is a shade from my P88 Palette from Born Pretty. Eyeliner is Control from Lush and currently my favourite liner! Such a beautiful colour and an easy way to add a pop of colour to your look when rushing your makeup!

In my inner corner I've added Inglot shade 24, which I am also loving. It has such a gorgeous shimmer which lasts all day. Under my eye I carried on shade 24 until the middle of my eye and blended it out into my outer corner using Ink from Sleek V2 Palette.

 

I didn't get as far as applying eyelashes until I RUINED this look with mascara all over my top lid -_- there was no coming back from the mistake I made...but it's still a lovely look, which I wore to work the next day!

I hope you like it, let me know what you think!

I'm thinking a new Sleek Palette Look next maybe? We'll see...

Inglot Eye Shadow Review, Shades 369 & 24

Hey Guys!
I am one of the lucky few in the UK who has an Inglot store 10 minutes away from where I live, and I plan on making the most of it!
I was out shopping for new jeans the other day and mistakenly stumbled into Inglot, what a shame. My lovely boyfriend treated me to 2 new shadows and I think I definitely picked 2 of the best! But I'll let you be the judge of that...

So these are my latest additions...Left is shade 369 and on the right shade 24.

For the quality of the products, I still can't get over the price. It's so cheap!

As a comparison - 1 Inglot eye shadow pan which is 2.3g/0.08 US OZ is £4.50

1 Mac eye shadow pan which is 1.5g/0.05 US OZ is £10!

So not only is the quality equally as good if not better, you get more product than Mac and its less than half the price!

This lovely looking pan is Shade 369.

It's so hard to describe this colour, it instantly caught my eye.

I guess it's in between pale blue and a pastel purple, reminds me of bluebells!

It has a matte finish and being such a pastel shade it's a bit chalky but no where near as bad as what I was expecting, not like Sleek Makeup's pastels! Great Pigmentation.

And my other purchase, Shade 24.

Inglot describe it as an AMC Shine, which to me seems like the Veluxe Pearl Finish by Mac.

It's an aqua shade with a gorgeous frost finish.

The tester in store looked completely different though, it looked more like a matte white with an aqua shimmer/frost...I actually went back to check I was given the right one! (No offence to the lovely ladies working there, but when I went to Inglot in Westfield's I was given ALL the wrong shades, so glad I checked them whilst I was still there!)

I bought this because I thought it would look great as an inner corner highlight so I'm now waiting to try it out. It swatches the same as the one in store, maybe an improved formula?

Swatch time! This photo is taken with flash and under a natural sunlight bulb.

Left swatches are over NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk, Right is without a base.

This is the same, without flash, under the natural sunlight bulb.

The frost in shade 24 stands out so much better without the sticky base, will definitely just be using my primer with this one!

 

So that's that, now I've photographed and swatched them I can't wait to play around and see what looks I can come up with! I was so close to buying a gorgeous canary yellow instead of shade 369, I'm glad I spotted it last minute, and at least I know what my next purchase will be!

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!

Glitter Me Pink Eyeshadow Look!

Hey guys, I've got another makeup look for you today, I hope that's alright!
This started out as something completely different to what it actually is. I was trying to do a look based around an Inglot shade but it just wasn't sparkly enough for me.
Obviously when something isn't sparkly enough what do you do? Add glitter! I hope you like it.

To begin this look I used ELF primer and NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk as my base.

When using bright colours I always use my NYX JEP in Milk as it makes the colours more vibrant.

I started by adding Meteoric (Sleek Celestial Palette) all over my eyelid, and Maple (Sleek Ultra Matts V2) to define my crease.

As my 'main' colour I added shade 613 from Inglot over the inner 2 thirds of my eyelid - where the glitter is now.

To darken the outer third of my crease I used Flora (Sleek Garden of Eden Palette).

To highlight my brow bone, and blend out the crease colours I used Blanc Type by Mac, and applied Pink Jewell (Sleek Lagoon Palette) to the corner of my eye to highlight.

Next I applied Eyeliner, which was Urban Decay 24/7 Liquid Liner in Perversion.

This is when I realised I wasn't completely happy with the look, and decided to add glitter! I've never been able to get on with glitters before so I was chuffed when it worked! I've never been able to find a product that's worked for me and the glitter, to get it to stick to my eye and not crease or dry out and fall off!

FINALLY I have found a product (actually my sister bought it for me for my birthday!) So, I used Bellapierre Clear Eyeliner Base to apply my MAC glitter in Pink.

Onto the few final steps... I added my Max Factor Excess Volume Mascara and Eylure Lashes in #100. I touched up my Perversion eyeliner and added Stila Smudge Stick in Stingray to my waterline and voila! My look is complete :)

So that's today's look, I hope you like it! Now I've found a glitter base I can work with I can't wait to see what looks I can do! Prepare for more glitter...

Lush Intuitive Makeup Look! Aka...The Tizzy Look!

Hey guys,
My wonderful best friend, Tizzy bought me one of Lush's cream eyeshadows as part of my birthday present (she knows me too well) so I thought seeming as I am missing her so much I'd do a look just for her! I moved last month to Cambridge from the Isle of Wight and I don't know how I've coped so long without her D:
I hope you like my look!

Lush Intuitive is a golden lime-green, shimmery cream eyeshadow which dries within a few seconds making it perfect for layering, but if you're quick enough it works as a great eyeshadow base too.

I absolutely adore the little bottles the emotional brilliance products come in! They look so cute lined up on my makeup table.

At first glance this colour might not seem to be everyone's taste but it's definitely worth a swatch. If you layer this colour up you get a beautiful vibrant green with golden shimmer, however if you want something more subtle then just use a little and you get a wash of gold shimmer with a slight green tone which would look beautiful with hazel eyes.

I used ELF primer as my base, and added Intuitive over my eyelid a couple of times to build up a good solid colour. To set the colour I used Fig from Sleek's Garden of Eden Palette as it's a pretty good match!

From Sleek's Ultra Matts V1 palette I used Cricket and Dragonfly to darken the crease and Pow! on my brow bone. To blend out the crease I used Adam's Apple from Garden of Eden, and Fern from Ultra Matts V2 in the outer corner of my eye to create a darker shadow effect.

To highlight my inner corner, I added Oyster from Sleek's Lagoon palette (love this shade!) and to line my lower lash line I applied Intuitive, and Fern.

My winged eyeliner is Urban Decay 24/7 Liquid Eyeliner in Perversion and Stila Smudge Stick in Stingray to line my waterline. Both are my go to liners, I'd be lost without them!

Eyelashes are my favourite Eylure #100 and mascara is Max Factor Excess Volume.

So that's my look! I hope you like it :)
