Hey there and welcome to day eleven!

I'm feeling super inspired with my makeup recently, I think it's just all the festivities giving me ideas!
Today I'm doing this rose gold look using the Makeup Revolution Foiled Shadow in Rose Gold. I tried to use this when I first bought it and it just didn't work for me, it clumped on my lid and it was just a mess. But I decided to give it another go, and I'm actually impressed! I know that it always sells out, but if you can get your hands on it, it's such a pretty shade, and worth learning how to use!


Firstly I primed and set with White Light from the I heart Makeup Death By Chocolate palette. Then from the same palette, I put Lick Me very lightly in my crease.


Then I took Sidecar from the urban Decay naked Palette and ran this through just so I had some shimmer.



Then I decided I actually wanted some more depth, so I put Beans Are White form the Zoeva Cocoa Blends palette right through my crease line. I also popped a bit more of that Sidecar shade across my lid.


Then the fun part! I put Rose Gold Foiled Eyeshadow from Makeup Revolution all over my lid!


I ran a bit of the Beans Are White shade on my lower lash line, but only very lightly.



And there we are!


On my lips, I used my new absolute favourite, Pink In Excess from PS Pro (yes, Primark). I've had so many compliments about this lipstick and I'm just like "lol go to Primark" I love it!


I have quite a few more makeup ideas, including an anti-Christmas look! So stay tuned for more!!

Hey there!

Today I am bringing you this gradient look. I had the inspiration while on holiday, when I noticed how nicely yellow and purple go together, and of course, I couldn't wait to try it out! I'm quite pleased with how it came out, and I was very excited to share it with you. I haven't posted in a while because I've been so busy with work and uni, but I'm getting back on track now!
I hope you enjoy this look as much as I do!


Firstly, I put the yellow shade from the W7 Neon Nights Palette along my crease.


In my inner corner, I used Butterscotch Caramel by Nyx, and packed the colour on to make sure it was really intense.


In my outer corner, I used Beverly by Colourpop, and buffed it in, continuing it along the outer half of my crease too.


Ontop of Beverly in the outer corner, I used Passionate Purple loose pigment by Elf. I left a gap in the middle of my eyelid for the next shade.


I put Fantasy by Colourpop in the centre. Here it looks very striped, but don't worry, blending is our best friend today!


Firstly, I put more Beverly in my crease to blend the colours in at the top.


Then I took a soft fluffy brush and continuously blended across the 3 shades, adding more when I deemed necessary. This took a while, but it was worth it!


After adding my wing, I put some of the Elf pigment in the outer half of my lower lashline.


Then I put Butterscotch Caramel in the inner half and blended the two in the middle.


I added a small amount of eyeliner on my waterline, but I didn't want an intense liner going on as I thought it would take too much away from the purple and yellow.


I added my Nyx Doll Eye mascara, and the Sultry eyelashes from Primark and I was done! I definitely recommend checking out Primark's lashes, they're just as good as Ardell, but for only £1, which is a fraction of the price!




On my lips I first used Nyx Foul Mouth and then topped it with Sephora lipstick in no 26. I actually ended up taking it off and redoing it because this application is awful haha.




I hope you enjoy this post, and that it shows you that colours can go together even if you think they won't! Blending is just key to make sure they look gradiented. I have plenty of ideas again after this dry patch so be sure to keep an eye out for more regular posts now!

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!

Hey there! Today I've got a maroon eye look, perfect for the Autumn! Autumn/Winter is my favourite time of year and I'm so excited to come up with more deep eye looks as that's what I enjoy doing. This whole look is using the Sleek Vintage Romance palette.


I first used Propose In Prague in my crease and slightly upwards. This shade confused me a little as it looks like a dark mustard but then it came out with a bit of red? Who knows?


I deepened it up with A Vow In Venice.


All over the lid I used Honeymoon in Hollywood, which was the whole reason I bought this palette because I just fell in love with this shade.


I put a tiny bit of Marry In Mote Carlo over the top of that, just a thin layer though.


Finally, I used Love In London in the outer corner and up the wing a bit.



And I added a wing before peeling the tape off.


I used Bliss In Barcelona to create a bit of a contrast, but I didn't want a complete clash of colours with this.


I then added my fave Ardell Demi Wispies and mascara.



On my lips I used a brown eyeliner and then a 99p matte lipstick off eBay. Literally type in "liquid lipstick" and they will come up in many colours. This is the shade 33.
