February Favourites 2015

Image
During this month, there has been a few products I have reached for time and time again. Most of them are new products and I have featured them in this blog post because they are so good and I'm sure these are my new favourite go-to products.

Happy 3rd Birthday SparkleEyes!

Hello everyone, really quickly I wanted to write this blogpost to say that today marks three years since the launch of SparkleEyes and I wanted to write a short blog post about it.  I am so overwhelmed to think that three years ago I first clicked the 'Publish' button on Blogger. Since then, I feel I have come a long way with my blog and I have learnt so many new skills in terms of writing a blog, makeup and skincare and interacting with other people who share the same interests as me.  It's amazing to think that I have managed to keep up with an activity for this long and more than anything I hope to keep this up for as long as possible because I absolutely love writing my blog, especially considering I have never been one who 'loves' writing. I've always been unsuccessful in keeping up an activity for any longer than a few months, but I guess it's because I never found what I was interested in. When I started this blog, it was just to try something new. W

18th Birthday Gift Haul

Image
Last week I celebrated my 18th Birthday and this blog post is a haul of some of the presents I got. I was indecisive about doing this blog post and showing you what I got but I decided to show you since after all, it is my blog. If you are not interested in seeing what presents I got, then I suggest you look at another blog post now but if you are interested in seeing what I got, then read on.

Makeup Haul February 2015

Image
I haven't been shopping for makeup in a very long time, mainly because I haven't seen any new products I wanted to try and I have been trying to avoid buying makeup, since I have a slight addiction with shopping and makeup. I have bought some products that have been new out recently and some old favourite products this month so I am going to do a haul and show you what I have got this month.

My 18th Birthday Party Makeup Tutorial

Image
Tomorrow evening is my 18th Birthday Party and this is the makeup look that I am wearing for the occasion. I love this look because the eyes are so intense and dramatic and I love the combination of the black and silver glitter.

Chinese New Year Makeup Tutorial

Image
I haven't done a Chinese New Year makeup tutorial before, and since this year I wanted to dramatically improve the content and quality of my blog posts, I decided it would be good to do a tutorial to represent other times of year celebrated by different countries.

Dramatic Valentines Day Makeup Tutorial

Valentines Day is in a few days and this tutorial is a darker and more dramatic look for the occasion using purple shades from the Collection Work the Colour Purple Eye Palette.

Pink Cut Crease Valentines Day Makeup Tutorial

This tutorial is the first of two Valentines Day themed tutorials. This one is more of a sweetheart pink look and the next will be completely different. This is a really good wearable look for Valentines Day.

Leopard Print Eye Makeup Tutorial

Image
I am a huge lover of the leopard print pattern and since I love makeup as well, this is literally the best tutorial I could do. I've done a leopard print look before but I wanted to re-do it, simply because I want to improve a lot of older tutorials that I used to do and this is a really versatile look. The spots are just an added feature to this great wearable natural look. 

Glamorous Evening Makeup Tutorial

This is a beautiful golden-themed eye makeup look that has a smoky effect and is so easy to create.
