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!!

Much  Love.

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.

Glo & Ray Balloon Pop | Review

Good afternoon.

 

Today I will be reviewing a fun eyeliner set which I have had really enjoyed trying out. These Glo & Ray eyeliners are not your typical dark shades, they are fun, suitable for summer but also with some shades great for any other season.

This set is called Balloon Pop - Sky Breaker.

 

 

Firstly, the packaging is so insane, this set has been designed so every part of it is eye catching, its like a big colourful circus in a box.

I normally take all my makeup out of its packaging and add put it in my makeup draws, however I love this box so much that I sat it on top of my makeup draws to show off, its to pretty to chuck away.

 

 

This set includes 6 eyeliners, all in a variety of colours and a sharpener which is very handy as I'm always loosing my eyeliner sharpeners. So basically everything you need to create a funky eye look is in this little box.

 

 

I am in LOVE with these eyeliners, they are extremely creamy and smooth on the skin. They are super pigmented and unlike a lot of eyeliners I've tried, you don't have to draw over them until the colour is pigmented enough. My favourite colour has to be Rosy candy. When I opened the box for the first time, I thought the pink eyeliner was a lip liner, for the reason that it came in a separate section from all the other eyeliners and it isn't your typical, everyday eyeliner colour.

I am so excited to get some good use out of Rosy Candy & Summer Sky in the summer. There's some amazing colours in this collection that you could even match your eyeliner with your outfit, and have a lot of fun with them.

 

Altogether I am so impressed with this collection. I will defiantly be checking out Glo & Ray more, by trying these eyeliners, I can already tell that all there other products will be just as great quality.
