Makeover | Coral Craze Ft. Sis!

Hi everyone!
As your all well aware I have been very distant from my blog for a good few months now. Since discovering I was pregnant a while back I decided to take a little break from blogging so I could focus on getting things sorted for when the big day arrives and also to recover from the terrible morning sickness I had to deal with.
However, now I am back, I am going to try my best to get some posts out before the baby arrives, for those who don't know, I am due 29th June 2017 and am expecting a little boy!
My pregnancy came as a shock, hence why I all of a sudden disappeared from my blog.

Anyway, moving on..

Today I created this fun look on my sister, Rhiannon. I used bright coral tones to create a fun spring time look.


I used tape whilst doing the eyeshadow to create a very sharp winged effect and it turned out great.
I used various shades from my personalised Z Palette, making sure I stuck with bright, spring time colours such as corals, oranges, yellows and golds.
I decided to leave the eyeliner for this look as I wanted the whole look to be elegant and as bright as possible without adding any dark tones to the eyes.


I used my holy grail Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in the shade Auburn for the eyebrows, I wanted to create a very bold brow since my sister has fairly thick eyebrows and this style suits her the most.

The lip product I used was one of my new faves! The Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipstick in one of his latest shades, Flamethrower, this is a beautiful electric orange shade that really makes your lips pop and makes them centre of attention.

I lastly did a simple, light contour and then added some of my Laura Geller Gilded Honey Highlighter on the cheeks for a golden glow.
My sisters skin is very fair so this helps for when I contour and highlight as the colours really pop!
Ending the whole look with a few loose curls in the hair and BAMMMM, were done!

I really enjoyed getting back into bright makeup looks and cant wait until summer to get even more creative.

Thank you for reading, hope you enjoyed the look I created and thank you to my sis for being in canvas :)

WHERE HAVE I BEEN LATELY? BIG NEWS..

Hi everyone,
as you may have guessed, yes.. I have been very distant from my blog for quite some time now, however I have a very reasonable and exciting excuse as to why.

For those who do not follow me on my social media may not know what's been happening in my life recently, and its fair to say my life has changed tremendously, well, it is about to!

So for those who haven't heard my news yet..

Here goes..
I am having a BABY!!!!

I found out the exciting, yet, unexpected news a few weeks back and I couldn't be anymore surprised if I tried!

Me and my partner have been together around 5 months now and this news shocked us both like never before, however, we are both over the moon and could not be happier to be starting our own little family.

I am 11 weeks and 2 days along, today.

I wanted to leave the news off my blog until I had my first scan and could 100% confirm I am pregnant and that the baby is healthy. I had my first scan yesterday (9th Dec) and thought today would be the perfect time to share my news on my blog.

As mothers or mothers to be will know, morning sickness can really hit some pregnant folk hard and for others it may be a breeze, I just happened to be the one who got the worst morning sickness ever, therefore I have not been well enough to even sit in bed on my laptop, my life has consisted of sleeping, being sick and crying. Its been extremely tough.
I have now been given anti-sickness tablets and have travel sickness wrist bands on to help prevent the feelings of nausea.

I feel well enough now to get back to blogging, I have my fingers and toes crossed that I keep up this pattern of feeling well for a while now, I need a break!
I will be carrying on with my blogging as normal whenever possible.

I will also be trying my hardest to keep you updated on my pregnancy journey and shall be creating some pregnancy related posts to help out any mums to be that are in the same boat as me or just fancy a read.

I hope you all understand my reason for being so distant, its just been the craziest ride ever but you shall be seeing more of me from now on.

Me and my partner Daniel want to thank the people on social media who already know about our news, for their kind words, we both are so, mega excited for whats to come and cant wait to share our journey with you lovely people.

Until next time, bye :-)

Timeless Truth Luxury Face Masks | Review

Good morning!!!!

Sorry I have not been as active on my blog lately, I finally found myself a new job after being very depressed at my old work place from being treated like muck, so I have been focusing on that for a week or so, but now I have three days off and at last I can sit down with a brew and share with you my latest review..

The brand I am reviewing today is a skin care brand called 'Timeless Truth'.
Timeless Truth create a wide range of face masks which have different purposes and help to improve different types of skin problems, and this is the mask I went for..


It was really hard to get a clear picture of the packaging, however I chose the Charcoal Detox Brightening Mask. The name of this mask caught my attention straight away as I have very fair skin which can sometimes make my skin look lifeless and dull so this sounded like the perfect match for me!

About the Charcoal Detox Brightening Mask:
The bamboo charcoal extract in this mask is highly absorbent and has a deep cleansing effect. This mask helps to brighten, smoothe and hydrate the skin, it is also good for congested skin.

Congested skin - 'Skin with large pores and blackheads'.

This mask retails for £4.90 which is a bargain!


Please excuse my poor attempt of applying this mask!

This is what the masks looks like once applied to the face, this mask smelt soooooo good!
I was really impressed with the amount of serum that was in the packet, this is always good in case you want to add extra serum onto the face before applying the mask, obviously that meant that the mask also had a lot of serum soaked into it but not to the extent where it made my skin feel sticky.
This mask felt great on my skin, some cloth masks I've tried have felt awful on the skin but this cloth was so thin it didn't feel uncomfortable at all. The mask was easy to apply and stayed on my face instead of peeling off which I thought may of happened but I was proven wrong, I could tell this was a good quality mask as soon as I applied it.

I left the mask on for about 15 minutes whilst I had a soak in the bath, the whole time I wore the mask my skin felt so refreshing.
The serum washed off really easy once I removed the cloth mask, my skin felt so hydrated once I had washed off any excess product.
Now I know your not going to see improvement by using these masks only once but I must say my skin looked glowing once dry, I normally have a bit of dry skin on areas of my face but this took all that away!

I would honestly use these masks once a week and I guarantee my skin would improve in no time!

If you would like to get your hands on one of these masks you can check out the Timeless Truth website by clicking HERE

Thank you so much for reading my post.
I hope you all have a fab week!

Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Palette | Review

I'm back!
Sorry its been such a long time since I like posted on my blog, well for me it feels like forever!
However, I am here today to give you another review on a product I am in LOVE with!

This month I went out to Blackpool for the day with my boyfriend and his family to do some much needed retail therapy after a stressful few weeks!
Whilst there I accidentally slipped and fell into the Debenhams makeup department ;-)
Whilst I was there I came across the Two Faced Palette stand and had to pick something up whilst I was there..

So what did I buy?!....


That's right! I bought the much raved about Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bon Palette, and can I just say that this palette smells so damn good, like actual chocolate! What more could a makeup & chocolate lover want ;-)

So I know your probably dying to have a sneak peak inside, so here you go..


So this is what inside the palette looks like and I must say that I'm so impressed with how the palette looks, the heart shaped pans are adorable and so eye catching!

This palette cost me £39 from Debenhams which is expected as it is a high end palette, I am a true believer that you get your moneys worth from more high end/expensive brands. Most of my experiences with high end makeup products have been a success therefore I was willing to try this palette out.

I created an eye look using only the colours in this palette and this is the final look..


I created a really simple yet elegant smokey eye, using mainly the brown shades in the palette, I added a hint of the pink shade called 'Totally Fetch' to the inner corners of my eyes, by the way how cute are all the names for these eyeshadows!?

To then add colour I used a NYX neon eyeliner to add a pop of colour to the whole look and to brighten up the eyes.


These eyeshadows blend like a dream, they don't give a lot of fall out like some eyeshadows do.
You get a good range of matte shades and shimmer shades, with 14 eyeshadows in total, therefore you are very likely to get a ton of use out of this palette.


This Too Faced palatte is fantastic, the eyeshadows really helped bring this whole look together and as the shades I used were pretty neutral, it meant I could create a dramatic, bold lip!

If you would like to take a look at this palette on the Debenhams website or purchase it for yourself (which I highly recommend) you can click HERE to be taken directly to their website.

Overall I would give this palette a 10/10, it has everything I look for in a makeup palette: attractive packaging, bright colours, nice layout inside the palette and a wide range of shades to chose from!

Thank you so much for having a read.
I hope you all have a fab week..

Jeffree Star Beauty Killer Palette | Review

Good morning!

I am very excited to be doing this review today after a month of trying out the new and incredible Jeffree Star Beauty Killer eyeshadow palette.
When Jeffree Star first revealed that he was in the process of creating his first ever eyeshadow palette I knew it would be amazing and very unique to the eyeshadow palettes I already own.
This palette is 'Very Jeffre Star', with bright colours and high pigmentation, this palette is a must have for all makeup lovers.


I promised myself that as soon as this palette came out I would treat myself to one, I am not one to spend a fortune on makeup, however this I feel is a great investment piece. The colours are like no other colours I own, therefore I wanted to splash out on this palette so I had a wide range of colours to experiment with.
This palette cost me $45, I had to order from the US which cost me $10 shipping, I also had a £14 custom fee to pay, so overall this did cost me a bomb but I will most definitely get my moneys worth out of it.


The pan sizes are truly impressive, if you compare the size of these pans to a mac pan they are a lot bigger, therefore there is a ton of product in each pan. I have been using my palette religiously now for just over a month and there is still so much product left.

As for the consistency of these eyeshadows they are very buttery and smooth making them easy to blend. The only bad thing I have to say about these eyeshadows are that they can be a bit powdery which leads to fall out, however a lot of eyeshadows have this problem, its something that can be dealt with. I like the fact this palette also has a decent sized mirror, which makes it a great palette for when I'm on my travels.

The names of these shadows are great, very different and all fun names that make this palette very 'sassy' - just like Jeffree himself!
My favourite shade has to be 'Star Power' which is the first colour, the neon pink shade, the pigment in this shade is unreal, its not normally a colour I would reach for until discovered this palette.

This palette includes:
3 Matte shades
7 Shimmer shades

There are endless looks you can create with this palette, I have been trying to go out of my comfort zone and try more vibrant, dramatic looks and this palette has helped me achieve that.

I created a look to share with you, I kept this look pretty simple to show you that you can create everyday looks as I know dramatic looks aren't for everyone.


I used the shade 'China White' for the base colour, then went in with 'Courtney' for the transition shade to blend out any harsh lines I may create. In the outer corner I used 'Star Power' and as you can see I blended the colour out a lot to create a more neutral pink shade. Lastly I went over the lid with a mixture of 'Confession' and 'Princess' which created a champagne shimmer colour, perfect for everyday or even for a special occasion.


The great thing about this palette also is that I have been using the shade 'Princess' as a highlighter and it works fantastic, this shade is gorgeous on the cheeks therefore your getting two benefits out of this shade.

My overall opinion on this palette is that it is a fab investment piece that I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a high quality eyeshadow palette with a vide variety of shades.
100% worth the crazy amount of money I paid, I would rather spend more money and get a top quality palette than spend less and waste my money on a palette that is of a poor quality.

If you would like to check out this palette, please click HERE to be taken to the official Jeffree Star website where you can find and purchase this lush eyeshadow palette for yourself.

I hope you all have a fab week.
Thanks for reading.

Just wing it! | ft. MAC Cosmetics

Hello again!
Hope your all doing well..

Todays post is a colourful one!
I have been experimenting with colour lately when it comes to makeup, trying out bright colours and stepping outside of my comfort zone! I know bright colours can be intimidating and hard to pull off but I had some inspiration behind this post..
I ordered the new Jeffree Star - Beauty Killer eyeshadow palette, however it has not yet arrived so I thought in the meantime I could do a fun eye look in preparation for this palette which has 10 beautiful, highly pigmented colours, some which are very bright (very Jeffree Star).
I cannot wait to receive my Beauty Killer palette and share some fun eye looks with you all as well as swatches.
KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED!

This is the look I came up with using one of my favourite makeup products lately..


I created this really simple eye look using The Balm - Nude'Tude palette, one of my all time favourite eyeshadow palettes.


I then added some colour to the eyes by using a red eyeliner. I used the MAC Chromaline gel eyeliner in the shade 'Basic Red', this eyeliner is amazing!!! This product is super pigmented and is a creamy, smooth formula, unlike some eyeliners which can be very clumpy and dry. These Chromaline liners can also be used as a cream eyeshadow or base colour for the eyelids.


These retail for £16.00 on the MAC website - Click HERE

I used another MAC product for my lips, I used the Miley Cyrus Viva Glam 2 lipstick which is an extremely vibrant, matte red shade with an orange tone to it. I believe this is Miley's latest lipstick with MAC Cosmetics and I am obsessed with it, EVERYTIME I wear it I get compliments.
I'm not sure if this lipstick has been discontinued as its no longer on the UK MAC website, however if you would like to give this lipstick a try I know that people are selling them on Depop, you guys already know I'm obsessed with this app so definitely go and check it out! :-)


I think the eyeliner and lipstick really compliment each other and add a pop of colour to my very fair, colourless skin! I kept the rest of my makeup very simple with a tad bit of highlighter so that most of the attention would be drawn to the eyes and lips.

I had so much fun creating this look and using my current 'go to' products from my all time favourite brand, the incredible MAC COSMETICS.

Let me know what MAC products your loving at the moment in the comments below!!

Thank you for reading.

Much  Love.

Blac Chyna Lashes Liquid Lipstick | First Impressions

Good evening!

Today I come to you with a very exciting first impressions post on a beauty product I have been dying to try for such a long time.

If you haven't heard of Blac Chyna, she is a beautiful model who is currently engaged to the well known Rob Kardashian and is expecting her second child with him, and not to mention she is one of Kim Kardashians BFF's ;-)

Chyna started her own eyelash line a few years back called 'Lashed' and only recently did she decide to widen her brand and create a collection of liquid lipsticks. Her liquid lipsticks caught my eye immediately however as she is in the U.S I have struggled to get my hands on one myself.
I reached to one of my favourite apps 'DEPOP', its pretty much like eBay but much easier to use and less time wasters. You don't have to bid on items either, its simple, if you like what you see, you can buy instantly using PayPal.
I found a lady who was selling her Lashed Liquid Lipstick and I was cheeky enough to ask her if she would go any lower on the price and sure enough she let me have it for just £9 including P&P, I was thrilled as she lived in the UK and could post to my UK address.
And yes, makeup on Depop can be 'used', however that's something that doesn't bother me, as long as the products are in good condition, I don't mind. You can get high end makeup on Depop for such low prices! I highly recommend this app as I have bought some bargains on their in the past that I wouldn't be able to afford if I was to pay full retail price.

Anyway, enough of me rambling on, lets get to the good part.. my first impressions!
First of all I will show you the finishing look, I got the shade 'Mink Pink' and it reminded me of the Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipstick in 'Doll Parts' which I also own.
Chyna's liquid lipsticks however are not a matte finish, but leave a stunning, sexy, gloss finish, whilst still being highly pigmented.



How gorgeous does that look! This shade would suit any skin tone and I reckon anyone could pull this colour off!

You get so much product for your money as the size of the packaging is double the size of a normal liquid lipstick, for example, if you compare it to the LA Splash liquid lipstick packaging you will see a big difference.

The applicator is a decent size and is easy to use and makes the application glide on smoothly without any smudging.
As I normally find with glossy lip colours whether a lip gloss or lipstick, they can be quite a sticky texture, however this liquid lipstick is light weight when on your lips and does not feel sticky whatsoever.

The only thing I feel she could do with improving on is the fact her liquid lipsticks do NOT come in a box/packaging, which to me is a bit odd, however I did buy mine second hand so the packaging wasn't a problem for me, however if I was to purchase another one brand new I would expect it to be nicely packaged as I feel these liquid lipsticks could look even more appealing in eye catching packaging.

Altogether I love this product and would consider trying more, especially as I've heard she is bringing out a matte collection soon, whether that's true or not is another story (a girl can dream).
I just wish these were sold in the UK to so it would be easier for us Brit's to get our hands on them.

If you would like to have a nosey at the Lashed website then please click HERE
Also don't forget to download Depop and see what bargains you can find ;-)

Thank you so much for reading, hope you all have a fab weekend!

Speak soon.

FUNKY FESTIVAL/RAVE MAKEUP & HAIR..

Hello everyone!

Today's post is inspired by the festival season which is now approaching us..
I have never been to a festival before simply because I just haven't got round to going to one, however I was truly inspired by all the YouTube 'Coachella' makeup looks that beauty guru's were re-creating and that got me keen to try and create a makeup look myself, that could be worn to a festival and really make you stand out!

As so many people are getting excited over the festivals that are lined up this year, I wanted to give you girls (and guys even) some inspiration in the makeup & hair department..

When I think of festivals, I think of everyone getting together to celebrate music, having a laugh and letting your hair down, leaving all the stress of reality at the field gates! Therefore I created a fun makeup look which can be easily created by anyone whether your a pro or a learner..
My sister also did my hair for me (she's very talented) using a curling wand to create big curls to add volume to my hair.

So what are you waiting for, scroll down to see my finished look..




I went for a bronzed look as I wanted to really stand out and have that 'natural glow' look to my face.
I used a pale concealer for my under eyes and centre of my forehead to create highlighted areas and add some brightness to my face, as I am normally very pale and have 0 colour! The concealer I highly recommend for pale skin is the Collection - lasting perfection concealer in the shade Fair, its inexpensive and works just as good as any high end concealer, great for if your on a budget!


I am so pleased with how my eye makeup turned out!
I watched endless videos on YouTube for how to create a funky neon eye look and when it came to me doing it, I just went for it and made it all up as I went along, and it wasn't bad for my first attempt!

I don't normally wear bright colours like the ones I used in this look, but after seeing how successful this eye look turned out, I may have to experiment with colour a bit more!

I used so many products for the eyes, I cant even remember half of them, however one product I will point out which I have been raving about lately is my MAC Cosmetics Chromaline eyeliner in the shade 'Basic Red', this eyeliner glides on like a dream and you only need the tiniest amount of product on your brush, a little really does go a long way! And as for pigmentation, of course its highly pigmented, its MAC after all - nothing but the best!


For my lips I used one of my all time favourite MAC lipsticks, which is the recently new Miley Cyrus Viva Glam II, this colour is sooooooo bright, its a red lipstick with a slight hint of orange so when your in different lighting the colour looks different shades of red!

So that was my festival inspired makeup and hair look..
I hope you enjoyed reading..

Let me know in the comments below if your going to any festivals this year & send me your makeup looks!

Have a brilliant week and I will catch up with you all soon!

Glo & Ray | Date Night Makeup Look

Hi everyone, hope your all having a great week, glad to be back with another makeup look to share with you.

As we all know Valentine's Day has just passed and I hope you all had a great day, whether you spent it with your partner or your loved ones, I was single for Valentine's Day so it was a lonely one for me, however I spent some much needed quality time with my family so it was still a great day overall!

I wanted to create a makeup look dedicated to Valentine's Day, however as that special occasion has already passed I thought it would be just as good to create a date night look.

I was sent over some goodies from Glo & Ray who are a British Cosmetics Company who make a phenomenal range of makeup suitable for everyone and anyone!


I previously worked with Glo & Ray back in summer last year ( Balloon Pop Review ) and I just love this company, the team are so friendly and really believe in my work which makes me so thankful and blessed, so thank you team G&R :-) !!!

The first product I have been loving is the Mariposa Quartet Eyeshadow Quad in 'Golden Dunes'. This eye palette consists of four vibrant, neutral, shimmer shades which illuminate the eyes.
These eye shadows are long lasting and smudge proof so you don't need to worry about having to top up your makeup half way through the day!
There are so many eye looks you can create with this palette as well as mixing the eyeshadows together to create your own unique shade.


I then used the Lasting Silky Eyeliner in the shade 303 - 'Golden Age',a stunning, shimmery bronze liner which is so pigmented and makes your eyes pop, giving them a smoky effect at the same time! This is probably my favourite eyeliner that I own now, I have used Glo & Ray eyeliners in the past and all of them stay put and don't move or smudge like most eyeliners I've tried and tested.
This eyeliner really is 'Lasting' as it says in the name.

These products worked perfectly for my date night look and I normally am never 100% satisfied with my makeup but by using these products they gave me the confidence I needed to finally believe that I looked beautiful.

And here is the final look..


I used eyeliner to add to my bronzed eye makeup, I wanted a dramatic eye with a nude, toned down lip. I think by creating a dramatic eye look with a nude lip drew all the attention to the eyes which is what I was trying to achieve.


I really enjoyed experimenting with these two products and working with Glo & Ray for a second time!

If you would like to try out these products for yourself to see the amazing results I saw then you can find them over on the Glo & Ray website by clicking HERE.

Thank you for reading.
See you soon for more beauty posts.

Kylie Jenner | Golden Globes After Party Inspired Makeup Look

Hellllllllllllllllllo, hope everyone is having a relaxing Saturday!
 
I am here with an inspired makeup look to share with you all.
Lately I have been seeing the same images ALL OVER social media of the beautiful Kylie Jenner and the look that she absolutely rocked during the 2016 Golden Globes after party that recently took place, not only was her makeup on point but her outfit was stunning, she just looked like a bronzed goddess and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who was 'well jel'.
 

 
I seem to find myself going back to these pictures a lot lately and admiring the makeup look she went for, not only does it give off a sexy vibe but its at the same time very simple, she stuck with a plain, nude lip and all the attention was drawn to her eyes and bold eyebrows!
 
Since I just cant take my eyes of these photos that have been taking up my Instagram like crazy, I thought it would be the perfect time to do a celebrity inspired makeup look for you guys.
 
So I attempted to recreate this look to the best of my ability and it was pretty straight forward as most products were bronze shades and I am addicted to bronzing my face up so it felt right to go with this look as it fits my 'makeup taste' very well.
 
 
I loved creating this look as my skin just looked perfectly glowy afterwards and its always fun to do celebrity looks in my opinion!
 
As for the hair I thought it was such a different change for Kylie as she's 90% of the time got her hair down or up in a messy ponytail, this was something different and I think this sleek and polished bun really showed her eyes off more and made the whole look come together.
I hate the shape of my face so unfortunately this hairstyle did not suit me one bit, but it was fun experimenting with styles that are out of my comfort zone, however its safe to say I wont be recreating this hair style again.
 
 
Creating the bronzed eye makeup was a walk in the park for me as I mainly use bronze shades for my eyes on a daily basis, although I did find it a bit difficult to create the darker shades in the outer corners of my eyes. I went for a more toned down eye look as I knew if I went over it to much I would end up messing it up, therefore I had to stop before it all went wrong.
 
 
I liked creating the simple nude lip as its different to what I would normally go for, I prefer more of a dramatic nude lip like Kylie Jenner normally goes for but I liked changing it up and testing out some lip glosses that had been abandoned in my makeup drawer, for my lips I used the L'Oreal Paris Color Riche J Lo lip shade called Barely Greige which is stunning as it doesn't have much of a bold colour to it, its more of a lip gloss but in the form of a lipstick with a nude tint to it, this lip product is also very affordable for only £6.99 from Boots, I would recommend any makeup lover to give this shade a try!
 
 
For the highlighting I used one of my recent favourites which is one of the Make Up Revolution highlighters which I received in the Make Up Revolution advent calendar last year, I tried to look for it on the MUR website however I cant find it, therefore it could be a limited edition that was made for the calendar only.
 
For the eyebrows, it was fun creating a bold look ,it took me a while to create the brows as I'm not use to doing mine so thick! I used my absolute holy grail dip brow pomade from Anastasia Beverly Hills in the shade Auburn, I highly recommend this product as it stays all day and is so smooth! AHHH I love it!
 
So that pretty much wraps up this look..
 
It was a lot of fun doing this post as I don't do many celeb inspired pieces, after this one I will definitely consider doing more in the future. If you have any suggestions for me feel free to comment and let me know.
 
Thank you all for reading.
Speak soon!
 
Lots of love..

Studio 10 | Skin Perfecting Palettes

 Hi everyone, so glad to be back at my computer desk, working on another blog piece to share with all my lovely followers..
 
Todays brand im going to be talking about is called Studio 10, who focus on an innovative range of age perfecting makeup products that are created to help give women the ability to look more youthful and feel more confident in their own skin.
 
Although this brand aims their products at women aged 30+, they still have other amazing products suitable for anyone of any age, and I was lucky enough to be sent two palettes to try out myself.
 
I received the Age Defy Skin Perfector palette and the Visible Lift I-Definer palette, both of these palettes cost £32 each from the Studio 10 website (CLICK HERE).
 
I used both palettes for my face even though the I-Definer palette is created for the eyes, the products also work great to contour and highlight the face, so its a win win!
 
Age Defy Skin Perfector palette
 
 
I am in LOVE with this palette, it is my go-to palette for prepping my face for foundation, there are multiple products in this palette which help certain problems with my skin, the green corrector I use for my red patches on my skin which I sometimes get, especially during bad skin break outs and under my eyes, the two concealers are so thick and creamy and give a really impressive coverage, however the second concealer in this palette is way to dark for my skin tone but the first one is perfect so as you can see from the photo I am defiantly getting some good use out of that one.
 
Although you don't get a massive amount of each product in this palette, you don't need to as a little goes a long way with these products, I've had these palettes for about two months and I use them daily and still haven't hit the pan yet!
 
10 out of 10 from me and would highly recommend investing in this palette to see how good it is for yourself :-)
 
Visible Lift I-Define palette
 
 
I like this palette as all the products can be used for multiple purposes, I use a lot of these products daily such as using the neutralise powder to set my under eye concealer and the highlighter to highlight under my brow bone to create a sharp, clean finish to my eye makeup.
 
I am not as in love with this palette as I am with the Skin Perfector palette, however it is perfect for anyone who prefers to use powder makeup rather than creams or liquids and due to my dry skin, I find that liquids work better with me.
 
This palette for me personally is only a 5/10 as I believe it would benefit the older range of women more.
 
So, want to see the results from these palettes..
 
 
As you can see the products from the Skin Perfector palette have blended like a dream and covered all my imperfections as well as any dark areas. Super impressed with the results and I don't look half dead anymore, yayyyyyyy!
 
 
I finished my makeup and look.. zero imperfections!
 
Even if you didn't want to create a dramatic makeup look you could still use the products in the two palettes to cover up any blemishes that you may want to hide, you wouldn't even have to apply foundation over the top if you were going for a more natural look. Studio 10 products are suitable for any women wanting to create any look.
 
Thank you to Studio 10 for letting me experiment with your fantastic products & thank you to my followers for reading, hope you enjoyed.
 
See you soon!
Lots of love.

My First Tattoo

Hi everyone..
I am so excited to share my first tattoo with you all, I have been putting off getting a tattoo for about a year now, but as it was my birthday yesterday I decided to man up and go for it.. & I am so proud of myself for overcoming my 'tattoo fear' and it really wasn't as bad as I expected.
 
I promised myself that whenever I got my first tattoo I would give it a good, hard think instead of just winging it and getting something silly like a unicorn!
After some help off my tattoo artist and mother, I decided to get my birth flower to celebrate my 20th birthday, I wanted my tattoo to look like it had been sketched onto my skin, so to give it that effect I just wanted the outline of the flower in black, in the background I wanted bright paint drips/splatters to add to the whole 'arty' look, I love art and im a very arty person myself so I got this tattoo to also resemble my passion for art and I couldn't be more happy with the final result..
 
 
I chose to go for a safe area on my body which I thought would be bearable for my first tattoo experience.
 
I got myself so worked up during the 4 week wait, I had people tell me it was a walk in the park and others tell me it was the worst experience ever. Strangely when I woke up the morning of my appointment I was extremely excited and the fear of pain was at the back of my mind, I think I was just so excited to see the end result that the pain didn't matter anymore, plus I knew it would be worth it.
 
I couldn't be more proud of myself for sitting through my tattoo without getting all worked up and shaky, its insane to think how little it actually hurt, plus my tattoo artist was so friendly and made me feel very relaxed. Obviously depending on which body area you get tattooed, the pain rate will vary, I would give my tattoo a pain rate of 3/10, which I am so happy about as I wanted to add to my tattoo to create a colourful sleeve so now I can go back for more with a positive mind.
 
I went to a lady in Carnforth who's shop was called 'The Jewelled Bird', which is a fairly new shop, she have a Facebook and Instagram page if you were interested in checking out her work. My tattoo cost me £100 for an hour and a half sitting, which I think is very reasonable, and my mum, dad and brother paid for it all which is a bonus ;-)
I give her shop and work a 10/10.
 
Please note: If you are considering getting your first tattoo DO YOUR RESEARCH, my friends were recommending loads of artists to me that I wouldn't ever trust as their work just wasn't good enough to have on my skin forever, I feel I made the right decision and I had a great outcome thanks to spending hours online looking for someone who had great work portfolios.
 
Thank you for reading, I love seeing other peoples tattoos, so let me know what tattoos you have..
Have a great day, speak soon.
