review: simple kind to eyes eye make-up remover.

hey everyone! todays post is a review on the simple kind to eyes eye make-up remover!

this i really only picked up because it was on offer at superdrug I've never heard much about it but i was actually really impressed! it removes all of my eye makeup in no time at all!

 The only thing i would say about it is that it is a bit sticky on your eyelids and under eye which i know might be a complete turn off to some people, this for me though isn't a problem at all because i cleanse,tone and moisturise after removing my makeup.

it is available at superdrug for around £2.00 (i got it on offer so I'm not sure the exact price!)Also i have very sensitive skin and eyes and this is no problem to my skin :) if you have any more questions about the product feel free to leave me a comment :)

i would definatly recommend this product to you guys because of the great quality and price!
i hope you enjoyed this review and found it helpful!


       have you tried this makeup remover ,what do you think?

DIY beauty series! #1 make your own eye primer!

Eye Primer

hey everyone! so I'm going to do a series on my blog which will last a week or two on DIY beauty and will be teaching you all how to make your own beauty product at home with common household (cheap!) items! i just recently began getting obsessed with making my own products but found it difficult finding "recipes"for them so i thought i would put them all in one place for you! i hope you enjoy the series as much as i have enjoyed researching and writing about it! and if you want to see the rest of the series please follow! now to begin.....


What you will need......


your favourite...
*liquid/cream foundation
*liquid/cream concealer
*body butter
*an empty tub/container to put your primer in.
*something to stir the mixture.

1. there is no exact measurements for this so its mainly just your own judgement.
     add an equal amount of your concealer,foundation and body butter to your container.

-make sure you have the same amount of each product


2.mix the three products together until you get a liquidy/pasty consistency

-add extra of each product if necessary to fill your container to where you want.





And that is it!! it is super easy and super effective i did some swatches for you showing first an eyeshadow with no primer, then the same eye shadow with a drugstore primer then finally the same eyeshadow with our homemade primer......
no primer   -    drugstore   -      homemade


as you can see our primer does the same job if not better than the drugstore primer the only thing i would say is the drugstore primer had more ware and lasted a bit longer than ours but for the price and the amount than we can make i would definitely say ours is perfect for everyday use!

hope you enjoyed!if you did leave a comment and follow also if you try it leave a comment telling me you like the results!!

how to:long,volumeful lashes!

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.
£6.99 at superdrug!



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!

hey everyone!! so this toutorial is perfect for summer nights and is super simple,natural and quick!

step 1: first thing to do is apply your favourite eye primer to make the colours more vibrant and pop then take an eyeshadow brush and apply a gold eyeshadow as your base (all the colours im using are from the MUA heaven and earth pallet which is really good but only available in the U.K :( but any gold eyeshadow will be perfect!)



step 2:next using an angled crease brush apply a chocolate brown coloured eyeshadow to your crease and outer,lower lashline.then blend usng a blending brush.



blending brush                        angled crease brush          


step 3:using a pearly cream colour as your highlight appy this to you brow bone and tear duct area.

step 4: apply black or brown eyeliner (depending on how dramatic or natural you want the look) to your waterline and tightline.Curl your lashes and apply your favourite mascarra.


(if you have any fallout of eyeshadow,especially is you are using powders or pigments you can easily get rid these using a fan brush which will remove the fallout without smuging.)

so thats the finished look i hope you liked it and enjoyed reading! if you did be sure to follow and i hope you have a great day!
