Sleek Makeup Ultra Matts V2 Palette Look!

Hello!
I thought there's been a few Lush posts recently so lets break it up with a makeup look!
I've gone back to my Sleek Makeup Series and done a look using only eyeshadows from the Ultra Matts V2 Palette. This is my favourite palette from Sleek and comes with me whenever I go away, I love it! I don't know why I haven't done a look with this palette sooner, it was so easy! There's so many different choices which would've all made lovely looks but I fancied adding some blue eyeliner so went for a subtle pink/purple too :) hope you like it.

I love using matte eyeshadows, I find these ones by Sleek blend really well together which makes life a whole lot easier! For my base I used NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk and applied Dune to the inner half of my eyelid and Flesh to the outer half.

Next I used Maple in my crease and blending it upwards into Pillow Talk which I used as my brow highlight. To darken the outer corner I use a little bit of Highness but mainly Villan using a small pencil brush.

Under my eyes I used Maple and Villan, on my waterline is Stila Smudge Stick in Stingray.

To create my blue winged liner I used Lush's Control Eyeliner which I love!

Mascara is Urban Decay Supercurl Curling Mascara and Eyelashes are Princess Lashes from Born Pretty Store.

 

I hope you like my look! I absolutely love the V2 palette, it's definitely the easiest palette to get complete looks out of and I'm a huge fan of matte shades anyway so perfect for me!

Sleek Makeup Showstoppers Palette Look!

Hey guys! I have so many reviews for you guys but I'm still waiting to take the photos (hopefully will be done tomorrow) so for today I have another makeup look for you! My boyfriend's wonderful Mumma surprised me with a lovely gift when I came home from work the other day, the new Showstoppers palette from Sleek Makeup which is out in Superdrug in celebration of their 50th Anniversary.
So here's the look I've done, I hope you like!

Like all the colours from Sleek, they are beautifully pigmented and so easy to use! I love creating new looks with palette I haven't used before and I can see a lot of potential in this palette!

The colours in this palette all work so well together and there's a lovely mix of mattes, satins, glitters and frosts.

Colours from top left are: Paraguaya, Sunset, Me Myself & Eye, Bad Girl, Noir, Ultramattes V2

bottom left: Oh so special, Bohemian, Storm, Sparkle, Au Natural, Graphite.

I don't have all the palettes but I'm guessing that all the colours are there to represent past palettes? Some are obviously names whereas I don't know some of the others like Paraguaya or Bohemian.

To start my look I used my elf primer and NYX eye pencil in Milk and then went over my eye with Paraguaya as a base and a blending tool for my crease. Next I applied Bohemian all over my lid and into my crease as my colour base. Using Au Natural I went into the outer and very inner of my crease with a light pencil brush to create a shadow effect, which will make my eyes appear rounder by creating depth.

To darken the shadow and create further depth I used Storm in my outer crease and Me, Myself & Eye in the very centre of my eyelid.

In my inner corner I applied Sparkle and used Collection 2000 Extreme 24 hour felt tip liner in Purple.

My lashes are Princess Lashes from Born Pretty Store and Mascara is Urban Decay's Supercurl Curling Mascara.

Under my eyes I applied Storm and blended it slightly with Bohemian to remove any harsh edges.

On my waterline is Urban Decay's 24/7 liner in Rockstar.

 

And that's the look! I hope you like it, I think I'm going to try and get another look out using this palette soon! Seeing these pictures again makes me remember how many ideas I had!

 

See you soon!

Urban Decay Electric Palette Look #2!

Hey guys,
I am having so much fun with the Urban Decay Electric Palette! I can't get over how pigmented and flawless the pigments are.
I know I've only just put a look out but it took me soo long to do I didn't want to wait around any longer for another!

I am so tempted to wear this look out tomorrow! It's crazy bright but it looks amazing - I can't believe how well the colours blend together!

In this look I have used Slowburn, Savage, Jilted, Urban and Chaos. So half the colours in the palette!

I started with ELF cosmetics primer and NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk as my base and Slowburn on my entire eyelid.

Next I applied Savage into my crease and blended out with Mac's Blanc Type, then darkened my crease using Jilted.

For a finishing touch I applied Aura from UD's Glinda Palette.

To my lashline I applied Chaos very closely to my lashes, to later darken Urban which went over the top, and blended out with blanc type - to create a type of gradient effect.

On my waterline is Rockstar 24/7 pencil from Urban Decay, and to create my wing I applied Perversion liquid liner.

...I think I'm a bit of an Urban Decay Junkie!

Lashes are the Princess Lashes from Born Pretty Store and Urban Decay Supercurl Curling Mascara.

So that's today's look, I hope you like it as much as I do! This is definitely a favourite of mine from recent months looks :)

Urban Decay Electric Palette Look!

Hey guys!
I'm sorry I've been gone for a while, I've had a lot of hours at work lately and it's completely tired me out! I've had this look in my back pocket for a while and I absolutely love it! I needed to put it up asap - I'm just annoyed asap took so long!
Anyway here's the look, a bit picture heavy! I hope you like it :)

As always I started with my Elf primer and NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk as my base.

To start my look, I applied Thrash over the inner two thirds of my eyelid. I cannot believe how pigmented this shadow was! I was expecting Thrash, Savage and Slowburn to be maybe a bit clear but the colour payoff is insane!

In the outer third and in my crease I applied gonzo which came out a stunning sky blue over NYX JEP in Milk, and sea blue over Thrash. In the very outer crease I use Fringe and a little Chaos.

On my brow bone I blended in Mac's Blanc Type with Gonzo to create a smoother finish and worked both shades of Aura from Urban Decay's The Great and Powerful Oz, Glinda Palette into my inner corner for a little bit of shimmer.

My eyeliner is Urban Decay's Perversion Liquid Liner and Lashes are the Princess Lashes from Born Pretty Store.

Under my lower lashes I applied Slowburn which is a gorgeous, bright shimmery orange shade.

On my waterline is Eyeko Skinner Kohl Liner in a light pink shade which I am loving at the moment. I do love using black eyeliner but it can make your eyes look so much smaller sometimes. The payoff in Eyeko's liners are fantastic and definitely worth the price.

Mascara is Urban Decay's Supercurl Curling Mascara and that's the look done!

I hope you like this look guys, fingers crossed I will have something new for you soon!

Disney Series: Snow White!

Hellooo!
I have ANOTHER Disney look for you guys today! I did this one the same day as my Tinkerbell look, but I haven't been too sure about it... Snow White is a lot simpler so it made it a lot more difficult to do a look that I liked! After about 3 attempts I finally decided I liked this one, I hope you do too!

I won't over do it with info on this post, it's not one of my favourites that's for sure but it's still cute!

To prime my eyes I used ELF primer all over, NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk all over, and the yellow shade from Makeup Forever's Flash palette on my eyelid.

To set my yellow base, I used BAMM! from sleek makeup's V1 Mattes palette and also the top 2 yellow shades from Born Pretty Store's P88 Palette, to add a little shimmer.

To create the cut crease, I first went in with Chill from Sleek's V1 palette, and then with Bolt to darken.

To highlight I used POW from the same palette.

To create the eyeliner and the little snow white tear drop pattern, I used the Red from Makeup Forever's Flash palette - loving this palette right now!

For lashes, I used my Princess Lashes from Born Pretty Store (quite fitting!) and mascara is Urban Decay's SuperCurl Mascara.

On my waterline I used Stila Smudge Stick in Stingray, and that's the look! Very simple but soo hard to make it look right!

Hope you like my look and fingers crossed I'll have some more looks out soon :)

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...

Winter Rain Makeup Look!

Hey Guys!
Sorry I haven't posted in a few days, I've been on bed rest, Doctor's orders! But I'm feeling better now and love love love playing with makeup at the moment! So here's another look!
I wanted to do a seasonal look, and seeming the weather SUCKS at the moment, a cold and blue look came to mind! I hope you guys like it :)

I started this look with, as always, my ELF primer and NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk.

Then added Urban Decay Hijacked and Mac's Steamy to my lid.

Then in my crease I used a sky blue from my P88 Palette and Plumage by Mac.

My eyeliner is Urban Decay Liquid Liner in Perversion, Stingray by Stila on my waterline, and my lashes are the Princess Eyelashes from Born Pretty in M-3.

On my inner corner and highlighter I used Mac's Blanc Type, and also on my inner corner I added Aura by Urban Decay (the blue half, obviously!) and oh my god its just so pretty!!! It looks so gorgeous in real life but it just doesn't seem to want to photograph well!

 

Anyway that's the look for today! I wore it out today and it looked amazing!

I love it!

Note to self though: add shimmery colours LAST. Otherwise everything turns shimmery -_-

 

Hope you like it!

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!

Daily Eyeshadow Look using Born Pretty Makeup!

Hey Guys!

I'm having great fun with my new makeup palette from Born Pretty Store so I thought I'd show you another look. It's the one I've been wearing to work for the last few days, I hope you like it!

I find when I do simple looks they never want to photograph well so I've only got one close up pic, sorry!

As always it's over ELF Eye Primer and NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk.

P88 Palette

I used the two bottom left colours as my main eyelid shade, the three lightest browns on the right in the crease, to blend out and to add a little sparkle.

The white in the top left as my highlighter, and the darkest two from the bottom right corner to darken my lashline; like eyeliner but without the thick black line!

To finish, MAC Plush Lash Mascara and Benefit They're Real, and done.

Aaand this is why I don't take photos of my face. Haha!

If anyone wants to see a 'tutorial' (or list basically...) of what I use on my face, then let me know and I'll get started on a post!

I use Benefit Hoola to contour, MAC's Lightscapade as my highlighter, and just the moisture Babylips on my lips as they are so dry because of the cold!

 

So just a quick post today! I hope you like it!

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!
