Haul | MUA and Kiko Milano May 2014

Image
Earlier today I journeyed into town after getting the OK to collect my new glasses. After I got them, Superdrug was calling me and I bought some new MUA products while they had a 3 for 2 offer. Then I trotted off to a new makeup store called Kiko Milano which is a store full of their own makeup products so I bought a lip gloss from there.

I love ELF Brushes and I have quite a few in my collection. They are super affordable, really nice quality and comfortable to use. 

Tutorial | 1920s Inspired Makeup

Image
Today's makeup tutorial is the first part of my 'through the decades' tutorials. This is the 1920's inspired makeup look which I have researched a lot about and tried to get it as accurate as possible. Some parts of this look may not be 100% exact but it is an inspired look after all. 

How To: Make a Swatch Poster

Image
One of the biggest problems I have with owning a load of makeup is that I forget what colour is which, what the colour pigmentation looks like. Also, since I have multiple lipsticks from the same brand, its too much effort to go through each individual product and find the one I want. Another problem is that I have a few similar colours. I came up with the idea quite a while ago for nail polish swatches so I am going to show you how to make one for lipstick swatches.

Haul | Sweets and Clothing May 2014

Image
I had to go to a shopping centre near me because I had an appointment for my eye test so afterwards we had time to do a little bit of shopping. Primark was somewhere I wanted to go to regardless of how much time we had. I saw so much stuff there that I wanted to chuck into a basket but unfortunately I have spending limits. These are some things I picked up in Primark and I also paid a visit to the American Sweet Shop and got some sweeties as well. Because I am a sweetie pie :)

Tutorial | Natural Brow Routine

Image
Brows are the frame to the eyes like hair is the frame to your face. You should take care of your brows because they complete a makeup look and balance the entire face out. I am going to show you how I get naturally looking brows using drugstore makeup. 

Review | ELF Cosmetics Blusher and Bronzer

Image
I was tossing up whether to get the blusher and bonzer with brush or he blusher and bronzer compact from ELF. I chose the two single blusher and bronzer for £2.50 each because as an OCD Online Shopper my basket had to round up to an even amount. 

Review | ELF Cosmetics 48 Piece Little Black Beauty Book

Image
I absolutely love ELF Eye Shadow Palettes. I have quite a few palettes in my ELF Collection and these two are the latest addition into my ELF Family. As you may have guessed, I am reviewing the 48 Piece Little Black Beauty Book in Warm and in Cool. Both of these retail at £8 each but I bough these in my latest ELF purchase when they had 50% off so I got them at £4 each. 

Haul | Nip+Fab Skin Products May 2014

Image
It seemed like only yesterday I was organizing the bulk of my excess skincare products. These Nip+Fab products were recently given to me so now I have some new products to add to my collection. Nip+Fab aren't a brand I am familiar with so it will be interesting to see what I think of them. I have a huge new collection of Nip+Fab products so I will show you what I have.

Review | Garnier Fresh Clarifying Face Wash

Today I am doing a further review of the Garnier Fresh Clarifying Wash as I tried and tested it over the course of a week every morning and evening to make sure it does what it says. Read on if you want to know my final thoughts on this product. 

Tutorial | Summer Bronzed Makeup

Image
As you guys may know from my recent ELF haul I bought two of the Little a Black Beauty Book in Warm and Cool so I decided to create two different tutorials using each of these palettes. The palette that I am using today is the Warm edition which has some really nice brown tones along with some blue and pink hues. I thought this was a really nice contouring eyeshadow palette that you can create pops of colour with so I am showing you how to create a bronzed eye makeup look with a pop of blue eye shadow.
