makeup emergency!

hey everyone! so the other day i made plans to go shopping with my friends and we planned to go in early to avoid the crowds at primark during the day but since its summer and I've been so used to sleeping in every day i woke up 25 minutes before i had to get the train!

 luckily i showered the night before so i through on my clothes got my self ready and decided to do my makeup on the train but i ended up taking as much time picking all the makeup i was going to wear and all the tools i would need and putting them im a makeup bag i might as well have just done my makeup!

so that long intro is basically what inspired this post,i decided to fill my makeup bag with an emergency make up kit for the next time i have a makeup emergency!

ok so in my emergency kit......

-concealer (natural collection)
            concealer i feel is one of the most important things to have as i think it makes such a
            difference to your face clearing up any imperfections!
-powder(miss sporty stay matte)
-bronzer (2true)
-blush (MUA)
             blush i think is a must because it adds colour to the face so you don't look like a ghost!

-brow pencil (essence)
             usually i would set my brow with gel etc. but i think this is a quick fix to your brows!
-eyeliner pencil (MUA)
-mascara (rimmel scandeleyes)
             mascara is a MUST! it makes such a difference for your hole face it completely opens your 
             eyes!!
-lipstick (MAC "dressmaker")
              i thought a neutral lipstick would be best for my "kit" since a neutral lip would go with
               anything! and i put eyeliner and shadows in so i could make a more dramatic eye if i needed
               a more dressed up look.also this is a lustre lipstick so i feel it doesn't need a gloss (one
                less thing to worry about!)
-eyeshadow trio (rimmel)
                this trio is great because you can use it to create a neutral look or a more dramatic one!

tools..

-eyelash curlers
        these make such a difference to your lashes opening them making them look longer!
-lid brush
-blending brush
-blush brush (use for bronzer to!)



now i have my emergency kit sitting on my dressing table for the next time i have to pick it up and run out the door!

hope you all enjoyed this post it was quite a long one so well done for reaching the end!!

MUA nailpolish review!

hey everyone so I'm a big fan of MUA as you might have noticed! their eyeshadow are extremely pigminted and their lipsticks are so creamy and soft.however some of their products i feel aren't very good at all the mascaras for example do nothing at all for you lashes that's why i was very hesitant to try their nail polishes.I gave two of them a try tho i tried shade 5 and shade 24...

accidentaly deleted the picture i took found this one online......silly me!

i notice with these polishes that if you apply more than one coat they chip quite easily so i used a white polish as a base then only needed one coat to get an opaque colour which lasted 3-4 days! so im actually quite impressed with these nail polishes and at £1.00 why not?!

i definatly will pick up some more of these but i don't think they are quite as good as the MUA eye shadows/palettes and lipsticks :)

                                        thanks for reading hope you enjoyed
                              have you tried any MUA polishes, what did you think?

NOTD - pastel and crackle!

today i was going through my nail polishes and decided i wanted to wear lilac polish but i decided to give my crackle polish another chance i feel like the crackle polish trend didnt last long at all people got bored of it quickly and moved on i thought i would give it another try since ive only used it a few times.To be honest im not sure if it will make a come back i think its one of those things that come and go but i matched it with the more current trend of  detailing your ring finger let me know what you think!

sorry this is completly out of focus :/

i used MUA nail polish in shade24 and Barry M nail effects in Nail polish 315.
                                          what do you think?

MUA undressed pallete review!

todays post is a review on the new MUA palette, the palette named "undressed" this is MUA's answer to the famous urban decay naked palette.the palletes are very similar with the biggest difference being... the price tag! this new MUA palette is only £4 and available at superdrug.under 1/8 of the naked palette!And you could never tell by the quality of the product.there are 12 eyeshadows 3 of them are matte finish and the rest shimmered.the matte colours were a bit dissapointing for me they arnt very pigmented or easy to blend.The other 9 shadows are a completely different story! the pigmentation is amazing and blends a dream! the quality is crazy for the price!i think this will very soon become a must have beauty item in the beauty community!Unfortunatly this brand isnt available outside the u.k but you can get the paletes on ebay etc. :)

swatches first row i order... (the faint colours are the matte ones!!)

second row in order.....

 i hope you enjoyed this review and it helped you learn a bit more about the product! i love it! what do you all think? <3

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..

2.Vaseline!
ok so this may sound like a strange "favourite" but after doing my DIY series this week I've notice how useful and awesome Vaseline is! and when researching for DIY beauty i realised just how many uses there are (im going to do a blog post to share with you all of the wonders of Vaseline!)
ill link below the DIY post that used Vaseline..

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!

hope you all enjoyed please comment any requests or thoughts!

eye makeup toutorial:sunkissed bronze

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!

MUA heaven and earth pallette review

HI everyone!! so for my first ever proper blog post i thought i would do a review because i love this product and knew i had sooo much to say and rave about it! its the MUA heaven and earth palette.MUA is a superdrug brand that is sooo inexpensive and the quality i have found is amazing!!When i was in superdrug i asked to lady working there is because it was so inexpensive would it be bad for my skin and block my pores and she told me that MUA are made by the same company as MAC and is designed for people starting out in make-up so they can experiment without splurging too much!!Unfortunatly it is only available in the U.K but any of you outside the U.K could maybe pick it up on ebay if your interessed.ok back to the pallete it is all neutral colours and is great for a smokey eye or an everyday look.It has 12 different colours in it including a range of base colours, highlighters and darker crease colours.i love thi pallette because it is amazing for everyday use and was only £4.00 !! the pigmintation is super aswell.the only thing i would say about it is that all of the colours are shimmered (which if you like shimmered eyeshadows is perfect for you) but i also like to use matte colours so would prefere if they had some mattes in there to!The packageing is simple but also sturdy and protective so all you really need and it comes with an applicator brush which i personnally dont use but thats really down to your choice.
I just love this palette and have been using it on a day to day basis so i thought i would share that with you since it is so affordable yet the quality i would score a 3.5 out of 5 which is good!Oh and i thought i would just throw in that is a dupe for the urban decay naked 2 pallette but obviously a fraction of the price! so i hope you enjoyed my review and follow if you want to see more!
