Pink Ladies | FOTD

I recently did a lovely eyeshadow look for work that I wanted to share with you all as I'm trying to get in to the whole 'I won't wear eyeliner everyday!' It was actually unintentional, I just meant for the look to be a nice pale pinky colour and due to my crease brush having a little black colour from the day before it transferred and darkened my look, but I liked it even more!

 For the base colour I used my NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk and the base shade was number 5 which I dusted all over my lid and the crease shade number 6 in this sleek palette (full of my favorite colours!!) which I put into my crease and blended outwards and down which is when the black transferred down.

I recently went on a little spree which included quite a few No7 products and a few balm stains from Revlon which I'm currently loving. The new mascara I bought seems like a perfect dupe for the Benefit They're Real mascara so look out for some reviews from me in the future! Also despite the 'look' not being what I planned, I absolutely love it and I may have to try and recreate this! :)

Maybelline Color Tattoo's - Metallic Pomegranate & on and On Bronze

R.R.P - £4.99

Why have I not picked these up before????? These are amazing! I've always been a little funny on creme eye shadows, maybe because I think they'll feel weird on my eyes. But damn I was so wrong. These feel so amazing on my lids, as if they aren't even their at all! I tend to apply these with my Real Techniques Detailer brush (until I get my eye shadow brushes) and they apply so well and smoothly, they almost glide along my lids.

For £4.99 each they are an absolute bargain, I want all the colours! These two I picked are Metallic Pomegranate and On and On Bronze but I've also been eyeing up the bright gold and smokey grey colour. They are beyond pigmented, even with the tiniest amount on the brush you get a great transfer to the lid meaning these babies are going to last me ages! I mean the swatches really show how gorgeous these shades are.

Although the colours here look very similar (on and on bronze being the bottom) I can assure you Metallic Pomegranate is a wonderful plummy colour and On and On Bronze being a gorgeous bronze colour that isn't too dark. I absolutely love these eye shadows, I can guarantee you'll soon see a FOTD with them very soon!

Sleek Storm Palette // Review

Top row. 

Bottom row. 

This one photographed ever so badly, my camera just refused to focus but I hope you get an idea of the shades.

However, I fall more in love with this palette every time I open it. I genuinely can't wait to wear it all of the time, I let my mum have a tiny peek and she wants to get her mits on it! The pigmentation of these shades is wonderful, most of the colours are glittery and go on rather thickly. I think around 3 shades are just block colours, which do take a bit of building up when applying but look wonderful when finished. So far I really enjoy the blues on the bottom row and allll of the golds in the palette, their definitely my new favorite shade.

I've never tried products from this range before but I like them already. I'm not too sure at how much this retails at as I couldn't find it on their website or amazon but I'd recommend having a little look around! This palette is glitzy and colourful and very me. It's wonderful :)

 

MUA Glitter Ball Platte

This was the first ever MUA product I bought, I though to myself this many eye shadow shade for £4? It can't be bad! And I have loved it ever since and you can see this by what state this palette is actually in yuck! With this palette I always tend to blend the shades such as if I wanted to wear black on it's own I would put shade 6 on first and then shade 1 on top. I also blend colors together such as using shade 1 with shade 12. Depending on how I feel on the day shows what colours I use.
Shades 1 -6 with and without flash.

One of the main things I really like about this palette is that all the shades are glitter and some of them brightly colored. Not only does this make your eyes look more vibrant and stand out, they glitter which I think is always a really nice touch. In my own opinion I think all 12 shades are everyday colors, some of the for winter and some for summer. They are all gorgeous! 

Shades 7-12 with and without flash.

I have to say with the exception of shade 1 these are my favorite shades of the palette. Not only are they vibrant colors, but the colors themselves are gorgeous and they are really glittery and they go on to the eye really well. They don't need to be applied to thickly because the color shows through. 

I really do enjoy the Glitter Ball palette, it's full of shades I do use every day and also it's so cheap for so many wonderful shades, £4! If you don't already have this palette I recommend you it, it's fun and vibrant and yo can make lots of cool and quirky looks with it!
