july favourites
hey everyone so now that its the beginning of August its time for my July favourites!! they are mostly makeup items this month because i have been wearing alot more makeup and wearing different products since its summer!
1.MUA heaven and earth pallete!
this pallete is all shimmered neutral colours. i use neutral colours for a smokey eye or everyday look.and i usally prefer matte colours for an everyday eye especially for school! so this summer i reallly wanted to change it up and shimmer! all of these colours have great pigmentation and very good ware for a £4 palette! i did a full review of this which is linked here..

3.rimmel waterproof gel eyeliner
this product is just perfect for summer! its water proof which is good! but its also pretty easy to remove at the end of the day as well it comes with its own brush so you can easily carry it around (perfect for festivals!!)it is super easy to apply as well and i just love it! what more can i say?!
4.sally Hansen maximum growth nail polish.
this has just been a lifesaver for my nails this summer! as we arnt allowed nail polish in school summer the only time i can enjoy coloured nails so they've been painted constantly! this polish i always have on as a base coat and my nails are as strong as ever!

How To: Long,Volumeful,false looking lashes!
hey everyone!this is just a quick toutorial on how i do my eyelashes!hope you enjoy....
1.curl your eyelashes...
the first thing i do is curl my lashes.the eyelash curlers i use are the shu uemura eyelash curlers which are quite expencive but i would recomend to anyone!alot of people heat their eyelash curlers with a hair drier but to be honest i dont really want stick scolding hot metal in my eye.thats what i love about these curlers,they dont need any heat to hold the curl all day!
when curling your lashes first curl as close to your lashline as posible then move the curlers up and out to the middle of your lashes and curl. then finaly move up and out curling the ends of your lashes (hold the curlers for several seconds each time)
2.line your eyes.......
using a black eyeliner line your water line and tightline this will add the illusion of more volume in your lashes.
3.appling macarra......
when appling mascarra it is good to do more than one coat however i dont want the coats to dry befor i apply the next coat.so what i do is i do each eye at a time so the coats dont dry.i apply the first coat wait 5 seconds until the mascarra gets tacky and then apply the second coat moving the brush from side to side at the lashline then going straight up through the lashes, this separates the lashes and applies more product to the bottom of the lashes giving the lashes more volume apply 2-3 coats making sure you pay extra attention to your outer lashes that are often missed but make a big difference! then wait for your lashes to dry.the mascarra i used for this toutorial is the rhimmel scandeleyes show off mascarra which is really good(3.5/5) and has a shereical end which is great for your outer lashes or for perfecting parts of your lashes.

make sure you dont.....
-curl your eyelashes after appling mascarra. it can break your lashes.
-wait for each mascarra coat to dry before appling the next one. it will give you the spider eyed effect .
hope you all found the toutorial interesting and useful and please follow if you did!! see you all soon and feel free to leave a request!
