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...

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!

Sleek Celestial Palette Look!

Hey guys!
I finally got around to doing a look using Sleek MakeUps's Celestial Palette, but then I noticed that my last 4 posts were all Sleek MakeUp looks so I've held this one back a few days!
I tried to do so many looks using just this palette but I think I was having a few off days. Finally I've done a look I'm happy with and it would have been perfect for Valentines, but nevermind! There's so many 'Valentine's Look' posts I didn't really want to join them so I stayed away! I hope you like my look...

Really I should have shot this look during the day, but I always seem to get inspiration at night - It was so shimmery and pretty it's a shame the camera didn't pick it up as well!

Anyway, here's my look! It's a shimmery, smoky pink/purple eye with subtle black liner and lashes.

The super sparkly palette! I love the matte/glitter combo shades, even though it does leave a bit of fall out they are so versatile! Great for adding colour into the crease, whereas shimmers are so forgiving.

L-R: (top row) Solar, Astral Blue, Aurora, Galactic, Earth Shine, Dark Matter

(bottom row) Stargaze, Saturn's Ring, Meteoric, Terrestrial, Lunar, Eclipse.

My favourite shades from this palette are Aurora - gorgeous teal green with glitter, and Meteoric - Matte deep pink/ terracotta shade.

My lease favourite, definitely Terrestrial. If the pigmentation was better it would be an amazing shade, because it's so different. But I guess that's why it's so hard to find! The pigment in pastel shades usually are lacking umph!

I started with Meteoric all over my lid and up into my crease, then darkened my crease using Saturn's Ring and Astral Blue. Next, I took Solar and packed it onto my lid, making it soo sparkly and gorgeous! I took Meteoric and Astral Blue onto my lower lash line also and Stargaze and Galactic in my inner corner to brighten the eye.

I darkened my crease for a more dramatic look using Earth Shine and used Dark Matter for my eyeliner.

My eyelashes are Eylure's #100, which I picked up in John Lewis for about £4! So cheap in there. Mascara as always is Mac Plush Lash and Benefit They're Real.

 

And that's the look! I hope you like it, and I can't wait to get some more looks going!

Lush Emotional Brilliance Control Eyeliner Review!

Aloha Amigos!
A few weeks ago I picked up Control Eyeliner from Lush, which is described to be a deep inky-blue shade... and I don't think I've worn black since. This eyeliner is so different and versatile, I love it!

The bottle alone is freaking adorable! It looks like the potions from Alice in Wonderland with the little 'drink me' label on the side! To show how much I LOVE this colour, I haven't edited my photos at all! I've left them completely untouched so you get a proper, true to life, look at the colours you can achieve all from one little bottle!

One Layer.

With one application you get a beautiful bright blue shade! The eyeliner applicator it comes with makes for easy application and it doesn't dry instantly which I like, so you can smudge it out if desired.

Two Layers.

With a second coat, the eyeliner somehow turns almost teal, making it more versatile with shades of eyeshadows. I've worn it with a pink look using my Naked 3 Palette from Urban Decay and had many compliments on it. I love telling people it's from Lush because they never expect it!

Three Layers.

And here is our deep inky-blue shade, as described by Lush! It's so stunning and makes your eyes pop without having to go crazy with eyeshadows. If you're short on time this is a perfect way to create a stunning look, and it's less harsh and much more fun than black all the time!

 

I love this colour at the moment, and will definitely be checking out some other shades of theirs including the vibrant purple and silver! I bet they would be great fun to work with!

It doesn't surprise me that I'm a fan of the eyeliners seeming I've already fallen in love with their Liquid Lipsticks! My best friend picked up a cream eyeshadow from Lush for my birthday and I can't wait to see what it's like!

I'm sure I'll be posting a review soon!

Sleek Garden of Eden Palette Look!

Hey Guys,
Sorry I've not posted in forever! So much going on in January, it was my birthday, then I went to the Isle of Wight to see my family, and since being back in Cambridge I've been job hunting which has got to be one of the most depressing things I've ever done! I'm applying for jobs I really don't want because I haven't heard back from the one I do want... I'm not good at this patience thing!
Anyway!
Just a quick post today to show you guys a look I create with the new Garden of Eden Palette from Sleek!
I've always loved their palettes and use them on a daily basis, so when a new one comes out you can bet I'm the first one in line to get it. So, here's my look...

I was struggling with my lighting at this stage so I've only got two photos, sorry! I now have new lighting and everything is back to normal, wohoo! I hate it when you do a look you like, but you can't capture it!

I found it hard to create a look using just this palette, I think my inspiration wondered off for a while but I'm hoping it's back now! I really want to get out some more looks!

 

Eyeshadows I used were:

Flora - in the crease and lower waterline

Forbidden - Blending out Flora

Gates of Eden - Eyelid

Entwined - over crease

Tree of Life - Eyeliner and under eye

Fauna + Fig - lower lash line

Eve's Kiss - inner corner

 

Primer

E.L.F eye primer

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk

 

Mascara

MAC's Plush Lash

Benefit's Their Real

 

Eyelashes

Eylure #100

 

I hope you like my looks, I promise there's more to come!

Sleek Snapshots Palette Look!

Hello everyone!
I was going to leave this look for a few more days, but I love it too much so I thought I'd post it now!
I recently got 4 more Sleek palettes, some I was lucky enough to get for Christmas, and I want to do a look using every one! Or maybe two or three...
So here's the first look, using the Snapshots Palette!

The colours in this palette are incredible to work with. Some swatch a little different to how they look in the pan, which I kind of like, makes a nice surprise! Humming Bird has an amazing golden shimmer which you can't tell until applied.

This is what the pretty palette looks like! The colours are: TOP (L-R) Summer Breeze, Sand Dollar, Kiwi Flower, Lotus Flower, Humming Bird, Tequila Sunrise

BOTTOM (L-R) Sand Walker, Washed Ashore, Sunset, Green Iguana, Purple Haze, Magenta Madness.

I started with ELF primer, and NYX jumbo pencil in milk as my base. I then used Sand Walker on a small, flat angled brush to line where I wanted my crease.

Next, I patted on Summer Breeze using a small C brush onto my entire lid.

Using Purple Haze I went over Sand Walker to define my crease and blended slightly.

Using a small fluffy pencil brush I blended Magenta Madness into the Purple Haze and upwards. Using a pencil brush, I went over the crease with Purple Haze again and blended into the outer half of my lid. To create a smoother transition I finished my lid with Green Iguana.

In my inner corner I applied Sand Dollar (which I love!) and used Purple Haze and Sand Dollar under my lash line. I applied Purple Haze with a flat brush on my waterline.

Eyelashes are #100 from Eylure and my mascara as always is MAC Plush Lash and Benefit They're Real. They were beautifully together!

So that's my look! I hope you like it as much as I do! I can't wait to do another look with this palette, but first, a look with all the others!

I hope you like it! And thank you for all your lovely comments! It always brightens my day reading them :)

Inglot Eyeshadow Look!

Hey guys!
I've recently just moved to Cambridge and discovered there was an Inglot store here! Some how I think I will be spending half my life in there...
I went in and bought some gorgeous new eye shadows and lip colour from their freedom system and a new palette, but I wanted to do a look with the colours I've already got. Because it's just a small palette I forgot I had it half the time, but using it again had reminded me how amazing the eye shadows are! They are so creamy and pigmented, they are just amazing to work with!
Anyway, I hope you like my look!

Before I bought more, I only had the Freedom System 4 Palette, but being able to get the rainbow shadows give you so many options, and the price is just amazing! You could get about 3 shadows for the price of one from Mac, and the pigmentation and ease of use of Inglots shades win hands down.

The shades I originally had were: Top 08, which is a Satin Gold.

Left 106R - Nude Rainbow

Right 62 - Matte black with pink micro glitter

Bottom 114R - Purple Rainbow

(both rainbow shades are currently on sale on Inglot's website)

For this look, I used all shades apart from 08, the satin gold. I love how well they blend together!

On the waterline I used Urban Decay Rockstar 24/7 eyeliner and my lashes are my all time favourite Eylure #100's! I've just bought a new pair from Tescos for £4. Bargain!

What I really like about Inglot's eye shadows, is that the matte shades that include glitter aren't at all shimmery and they don't loose the glitter once applied! It's hard to describe but its amazing! It makes them very versatile to use.

I added a little OZ from Urban Decay on my inner corner for a touch more sparkle!

Brows and Mascara are as usual and that's pretty much it!

I'll upload a blog soon of my lovely new shades from Inglot Cambridge. I can't wait to have a proper play with them!

I absolutely love the freedom system, its a great way to create your own palette and get exactly what you want, and with the amount of eye shadows they have you certainly get choice! I can't wait to go back and get some more products. So far I've only tried the eye shadows (and I have one lipstick pan but haven't tried it yet), what would you guys recommend trying?

 

Hope you like my look!

NYE Makeup! Sleek Vintage Romance Palette Look!

Hey guys! I'm in the middle of moving still at the moment so I haven't been able to do any recent looks so I've had to hold some back! This was my makeup look for NYE! I hope you all had a lovely night, and I hope you like my look!

I've been on the hunt for Sleek's Vintage Romance Palette for a while and I found it in a piercing studio on the Isle of Wight! I was so happy! I picked it up and instantly had to do a look with it!

I'm addicted to pinks and burnt orange shades at the moment, they're so fun to play around with!

The Vintage Romance palette includes a matte shadow and shimmer/glitter shades so you can create some gorgeous looks. You will also need a hightlighter shade though!

In this palette, for this look I used the top right shade, all three gorgeous pinks and the glittery black for my eyeliner. Sometimes, I think a thick black line can ruin a look so I like to just press a black shadow into my lashline.

I wore this look out on NYE and even my 8 year old niece said she likes it! Which was a shock seeming she's a complete tomboy, and being 8 she usually just says 'what's on your face?'

 

So that's my look! Mascara and brows, the same as always and no lashes today as I wore this look out! I'm not great with actually wearing lashes, I usually just wear them for pictures! haha

 

I hope you like it! I will try and get some more looks done soon I promise! I just need to get a new lamp...

Christmas is Coming!!

Ok, I feel like I do the same thing every year but I don't care! What's more Christmassy than red and gold? I love it! Although I just realised I now match my Christmas tree...

For this look I used my new P88 Palette from Born Pretty Store, I love how pigmented the colours are, I was so surprised!

And also Coppering, from Mac.

My eyelashes are Princess Lashes in M-3, also from Born Pretty Store.

Eyeliner is Urban Decay Liquid Liner in Perversion, and Stila Smudge Stick in Stingray on my waterline.

Mascara is the same as always! Mac Plush Lash and Benefit They're Real.

So that's my second Christmas look! I hope you like it, Makeup hasn't been my friend for the last few days so I was quite happy when this came out ok!

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!
