Hello, and welcome to day seven of Blogmas! One whole week!
Today I am bringing you my cruelty free face makeup!
I hope you enjoy.


To cover my dark circles, I use Soap and Glory Kick Ass Fake Awake.


Then for foundation, I use Kat Von D Lock It Foundation in Light 45.


For concealer, I use a mixture of MUA Hide & Conceal and Nyx Above & Beyond Concealer Jar.


To cream contour, I use the Nyx Wonder Stick.














For my brows, I use the Nyx Tame and Fram Pomade in Chocolate and to set them I use the Sleek Clear Brow Perfector.


The mascara I am using at the moment is the Nyx Doll Eye Mascara in Long Lash.


My eye primer is this one by Milani .


And finally, to set all of this, I use the Makeup Revolution Pro Fixing Spray.

I hope this post has given you some ideas for cruelty free face makeup, to my knowledge at the time of posting this, all of the brands I have mentioned are cruelty free. I am now 100% cruelty free with all of my makeup, it's taken a while but I've done it!

Thank you for reading,

Hey there and Happy Halloween weekend! Today I have a look that was inspired by pumpkins! I love pumpkin carving and I'm going to be carving on this weekend and I'm super excited!!
As expected, this is an orange look, and I used my new Milani eyeshadow, which I love! I'm definitely going to buy some more at some point.
I hope you enjoy this and that you're feeling super spooky this weekend!


First of all I used Peach Smoothie from Makeup Geek as my transition colour because it's such a light shade.


Then I used Substitute For Love from the Zoeva Cocoa Blend palette just a little bit below this to add some depth.


To brighten the orange tones, I put LOL by NYX all through the crease.


On my lid I put Bella Mandarin all over and blended it up into the LOL shade.


With a thick pencil brush I used Faint from the Naked Basics palette.


On the outer corner, up along the tape so it creates a sharp line, I blended in Beans Are White.


I did a really long wing because as you shall see...


I put 4 round face glitters from PS from Primark. You can always do this with eyeliner to create little dots, but I had these so I decided I'd use them!


I then blended Faint along my lower lashline.


And there we are!


On my lips I used one of the new NYX Liquid Suede's in Alien, it's a gorgeous black, I love it! (we all know I love them anyway haha)



I hope you enjoyed this post, and that it's got you in the mood for Halloween! This is obviously a more wearable look, but I will be doing a few looks over the weekend, one of them being my look for my costume, so keep an eye out!

Hello!

Today I have a post on the Milani Eyeshadow Primer. I've never used Milani before, but I've seen some good reviews on this, so I decided to order it with a few other things, and I am impressed!


The primer comes in a tube which has a little nozzle on the end which the product comes out of.


The primer itself looks like a blob of concealer, but spreads out to a more clear colour.


For this post, I am going to swatch my favourite palette, Zoeva Cocoa Blend.


On the left is without primer and on the right is with.


On the top is without primer and on the bottom is with.

I think this primer works so so well! The shimmer colours in the palette came out in such a rich colour, and the metallic shine somehow shone even more. And it also brought out the duochrome in the shade Sweeter End. As for the matte shades, it made them a lot more pigmented than they already were. I'm especially impressed by how deeper the shade Freshly Toasted came out.

Overall, I definitely recommend picking this up, I would even go to say that it gives Urban Decay a run for its money!

You can pick up the primer here for £5.99 from the Milani website, and you get free delivery on orders over £20!

Thanks for reading!
