Blink+Go Brights Palette!

In last month's Glossybox I received this lovely looking Blink+Go Colour Tones Eyeshadow and Blush palette, and I know a lot of people who received it didn't like it very much because the bright colours scared them!
Unlike most people, I love it! The colours are super soft and super pigmented! This is what the website says about it...

'Make your eye colour pop. This vibrant colour palette contains six catwalk-inspired shades (includes pink, blue, lilac, green, gold and a cream highlighter) a range of high-fashion colours that give an immaculate finish and enable you to create a look as subtle or dramatic as you dare. Mix and match the soft pastel peach and apricot blush for your own unique finish.'

The only thing I don't like about the palette, is because they're all such bright colours you can't really get a whole look out of it! You have to be able to get your hands on some other eye shadows to make a real 'eye-popping' look!

 

Here's a quick swatch of all the colours :) They have a satin finish and are super soft! I was really impressed with the pigmentation of these! Specially the Green, yellow and white! I can't work out which is my favourite colour though! I do love the green... It's like no other colour I've got!

 

With flash.

I have to admit, I am stunned by the blush! Neither of them are colours I would have ever chosen, but they have quickly become my go-to colours! Mixed together they are beaut!

 

They have a slightly chalky finish to them, and the light pink/peach has a touch of shimmer to it, whereas the Apricot is matte.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Without flash.

I swatched the eye shadows with no base (right) and using my NYX jumbo pencil in Milk on the left.

You can tell the difference! I seriously don't know how I lived so long without it in my life!!! Its fantastic! By the end of the year I wouldn't be surprised if I had one in every colour...

 

 

 

 

Please excuse the quality of the pictures!

Still can't find my camera charger...



These are just a couple of looks I've done using the palette! This is my 'Winter Bunny' look! Lots of bright, pastel colours! For this i used all the colours apart from green and yellow.

For my mascara, I use Mac's Zoom Lash Black Lash, eyebrows - Stila brow set in Warm.

For people who aren't as adventurous! Use the colour of your choice and mix with a little mixing solution or water to create a gorgeous bright eyeliner! Apply using an angled brush for solid colour and sharp lines!

Very quick and easy to do! Kept my eyeshadow simple, just a natural smokey eye :)

but for the very adventurous...

Team it up with some bright purple lippy (airborne unicorn, Lime Crime) and some purple eyebrows!
Do you like my trout pout?

If you got this palette in your Glossybox, what did you think of it?
You can purchase this palette from the Blink+Go website for £14.95 :)

Lime Crime Love...

Hey guys! I hope everyone had a lovely NYE! I'll post some pictures of mine in a later post :) I've been so slack with posts lately because I've been MEGA busy! Whilst everyone's had a lovely relaxing Christmas I've been working! Your sympathy please... haha

Anyway this is just a post on a wonderful new products that I'm totally in love with!

It was about 2am the day after pay day and the money was already burning a hole in my pocket! So what else do you do? You buy purple lipstick! Obviously...

This here is the gorgeous creature itself. It's my first purchase from Lime Crime and I certainly wasn't disappointed! I checked out the reviews online and it was pretty much half and half/ Love and Hate.
I picked up Airborne Unicorn for £11.50 which is this gorgeous bright purple colour! When I first put it on it was a 'WOAHH' moment for sure! But the more you wear it, the more you get used to it!

Picture quality sucks I know. But it's payday on Friday so hopefully I'll get myself a new camera!! This is how the lippy looks on anyway... It's super pigmented and really creamy! I have played around with it a bit, and if you apply a translucent powder over the top it easily goes matte and lasts forever.

And because I can't take a normal picture of myself, here...

I seriously am in LOVE with Lime Crime! I already have my eye on some of their carousel lip glosses and their eye primer! Every review I've seen has said how amazing it is! The only negative I've found is the price! It's pretty pricey however at spacenk.co.uk Lime Crime is currently on sale! You can pick up a lipstick for £7.50 which I will definitely be doing! I just don't know what colour to go for next...

See my problem? They're all so gorgeous! If you were wondering, Airborne Unicorn is the one above the black :)

Love & Peace xx

Christmas is coming!

Ok so slightly excited about Christmas even thought im going to be working everyday until next Wednesday! Never mind...

To get jn the spirit of Christmas we are allowed to dress up at work but I don't have anything! So I've just done bild makeup instead :) (with a Santa hat, of course!)

This was my look for today, I used my blink and go palette, sleek storm and nyx 78 eyeshadow palette to get the look :) hope you like it and have a lovely Christmas everyone!

Love and peace x

Candy Cane Eyes!

Hey Guys!! It's less than two weeks till Christmas! Anyone else excited?
I'm working over Christmas and we're allowed to dress up at work so I wanted to do something OTT makeup wise! I'm thinking of going as an Elf so I've gone for candy cane eyes! (because Elf's love sugar ;) )

I'm soo upset that I can't find my camera charger!! I'm going to have to buy a new one because I'm finding it hard to live without!! failing that... I might buy a new camera! The Nikon 1 looks pretty cool...

To create this looks I used my NYX 78 shadow palette, along with red and white MUA eyeliners.
I started off by lining where I wanted my cut crease with a black eyeliners, and then created the candy cane look on my eyeliner with eyeliner, and then went over the top with the co-ordinating eyeshadow colours.
For the crease I went in with a light green first, and then went over it with Mac's woodsmoke and NYX black eyeshadow.
My mascara, as always is Mac's zoom black lash mascara :)

I'm a complete idiot and forgot to put any products on my face! I don't even have foundation on! So out of the photos I took, this was the best one I could find!

On my lips is Elf's Fearless Lipstick. It's such a gorgeous creamy red!

hope you guys like my look :) please leave me a comment!

Green and Gold Eyes....

I'm feeling super christmassy this year! Working in a shop, it's kind of pushed in your face all the time! Really getting into doing Christmas makeup so here's another eyeshadow look :) The gold looks a heck of a lot more yellow on here which is kind of annoying... looks better gold!

Eyebrows are a mess, sorry about that. And I STILL can't find my camera charger! D':
Anyway... It's a pretty basic look, I did add some glitter over the top which you can see in the last photo and it look beautiful but didn't come up very well in photos.

The majority of the colours were from my NYX 78 eyeshadow palette. I am totally in love with this palette! It has pretty much every colour I'd ever need in it! For my brow highlighter I used Mac's 'Baby, It's cold...' and in the crease 'Woodsmoke' both from their glitter and ice collection.

I was chuffed to see this pic on the first page on the pics on beautylish! I know it sounds ridiculous but it made me smile like mad! :)

My mascara is Mac's zoom fast black lash and is my current favourite. I used to use Maybelline's colossal mascara but I always ended up with panda eyes where it rubbed off! I've not had a problem at all with this one!
My eyeliner is maybelline's gel eyeliner in black. Gel eyeliner is always my go to eyeliner! For me it lasts 10x longer than any other eyeliner.

In this pic you can just about make out the glitter! It really didn't want to photograph which sucks because it looked gorgeous!

I hope everyone's feeling nice and christmassy! I'm addicted to listening to Sugarland's album, Green and gold at the moment! Gonna start on the xmas movies soon! Already watched Love Actually but that's a film you have to watch at LEAST 3 times before Christmas! I'm thinking Elf next though...

Love & Peace! xxx

Christmas Pudding Nails!

Christmas is just around the corner and being as sad as I am, I've done some funky ass nails! They're lil' Christmas Puddings and I'm in love with them!
I've done them on false nails because I'm not allowed to wear nail varnish to work! BOO!
Tools needed: large and small dotting tool. (I cheat and use different size pins and toothpicks!)
                      you could also use rhinestones for the holly, optional.

Nail varnishes I used: OPI Alpin Snow, OPI Tease-y does it, Barry M 115, No7 Devil's Delight, the green is a franken I did myself :), Maybelline salon manicure top coat.

This little beaut should be the outcome :D sadly I've lost my camera charger so shuddy pics, sorry!

First off I did a white base coat using OPI Alpine Snow, then a coat of barry m, just to get a nice solid base colour.

Then, either 1 or 2 coats of OPI Tease-y does it. I think it's my Favourite ever nail polish! It's soo gorgeous! It's just so many colours in one! Brown, red, gold, purple.... just gorgeous!

Nice clean table eh? Once it's all dry, grab a large dotting tool and the white again, and make uneven dots all joined in a line, so it looks like drips! Then join it all up at the top. :) Simples

This really is the only tricky bit! Use a small dotting tool, toothpick, whatever to create three small red berrys top-centre of the nail. Then, the holly! I hated doing this bit! I cheated and used an old pair of tweezers! the slanted edge was the perfect shape for the holly leaves, I didn't want to do into too much detail with them because I would have ruined them probably!
Alternatively, you could used rhinestones which looks super cute too!


And then you're near enough done! I left mine for a day and then added a top coat, I didn't want to do all that work and then smudge it! Just make sure they're mega dry before you add yours!

Broken down into steps this look is really easy to do! Please give it and go and post your looks!

Hope every ones getting in the christmassy mood!

Love & Peace x
