Hello!!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I've been a busy bee!!! I've been working like crazy (3 jobs lol) and I aslo got my A Level results the other day, but I'm pleased to say I got into the uni that I wanted!! Anyway, on with the post.

Today I have a post on my makeup collection, and how I store it. This isn't going to be like the big YouTuber's videos where they have an entire room, I only have a drawer, but I thought it would still be fun to share with you.

Hello!

Today I have a bit of a different tutorial for you! I wanted to share how I did my nails in this daisy design. It's super simple and unless you're a major perfectionist, you don't have to worry about it being too neat!

I hope you enjoy :)

You will need:

Black nail polish (this is Barry M Matte in Espresso, but any black nail varnish will do)

White nail polish (Barry M Gelly Hi Shine in Cream Soda)

Yellow or gold shade (Kiko Nail Lacquer in 479)

Nail dotting tools (these are from Poundland) or you can use the end of a bobby pin.

And finally a top coat (Barry M Plump It Up)

Firstly, I pained all my nails with the black shade.

Once that had dried, I took the gold polish and dipped a dotting too into it and dotted it in the middle of each nail.

Then once that had dried, with the white polish, I put 5 dots around the gold dot. This was where I wasn't particularly bothered about being neat, this is supposed to be a fun design!

After applying the top coat, you have the final design!

This is super fun and easy, and kinda reminds me of a 90s kind of vibe. Daisies are by far my favourite flower!

I hope you liked this post, and I'll see you next time :)

Hello!

Today I was thinking about how I'd love to be on a beach right now, drinking cocktails until the sun came down... Wouldn't that be nice?? And it inspired me to do this sunset eye look, which is possibly the closest I'm going to get to a beach sunset for a long time. A lot of the products I used in this are from NYX, I'm really loving their stuff, especially now it's more accessible in the UK!

I hope you enjoy!

First of all, I put the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk all over my lid and set it with powder. This is so the vibrant colours will show up better on the white.

Then I took Butterscotch by NYX and ran this through my crease.

I used LOL by NYX also in my crease, and somehow just ended up dragging the two colours really far up, which wasn't intended, but I worked with it!

All across my lid, I used the red shade from the W7 Neon Nights palette.

Then I worked on just trying to blend that harsh line of yellow you can see here along my brow bone.

Then I winged out my eyeliner, as per.

I put a black liner in my water line, and then I used Kiko Infinity Eyeshadow in 277. I wanted blue along the bottom to represent the sea, you get me?

Then I used some of the Collection Glam Crystals in Funk in my inner corner, because why not? I wasn't sure whether to do this, the look was completely fine without it.

On my lips I used NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Transylvania (very hard to build up, but you'll get there!)

And that is the finished look!

I hope you enjoyed this post, and I'll see you next time!
