Brows For Every Budget

I love having full eyebrow! I just love the appearance of them especially on my face shape, I have tried and tested plenty of eye brow kits and eye shadow shades to fill in my eyebrows and I thought I would share with you my favourite for achieving natural and full eyebrows from a low to higher budget! 

Now I adore each of these palettes and think the products are amazing quality so they would all be amazing, I have naturally dark-ish blonde hair! So I usually have the use quite light shades for my brows as I think this suits me best I will be taking you though the shades I also use in particular in each of the palettes! So Enjoy!

Seventeen Brow Kit - here at www.boots.com

I really enjoy using this palette on days where I want something quick and simple, this little palette is so useful as it has a mini brush and an eyebrow pencil so this is really handy for travelling and on the go! (although all of these are really!) It comes with a wax on the left hand side and the brow powder in the middle it is quite a mid toned brown colour but I can get away with it with my hair colour, although it's super easy for my eyebrows to look too much for me as I am heavy handed so I need a light hand when applying this, but don't get me wrong, it's a lovely colour when applied. It also comes with the white shade on the right which is perfect for highlighting the brow bone if you do so wish! I think this is so great and affordable at only £5.99!

Mac Quad - Omega and Woodwinked - here at www.selfridges.com

The next brow powder I use is this eye shadow from Mac which is called 'Omega' now I first discovered this after watching many YouTube videos where beauty guru's would use this shade if they had blonde to light brow hair and it looked amazing, so I had to try it myself and it just creates a really natural eyebrow colour and is so easy to create the appearance of thicker or fuller brows as this eyeshadow can be built up and doesn't straight away give you crazy eyebrows as the colour is light but not too light for filling in my eyebrows so I think this is great, however I do not use the other shade as I only use that on my eyes! This eyeshadow on it's own retails for £10 from Mac.

Woodwinked - here

(woodwinked not used as a brow shade by the way it is a shimmery gold!)

Urban Decay Naked Basics 2 Palette - here at www.houseoffraser.co.uk

Lastly but definitely not least is my Urban Decay Naked Basics 2 palette, now this is so versatile and is so good as it has basically every eye brow shade you could need and I love using this as a palette for my eye shadow as well as an almost everyday essential for filling in my eye brows. I just find it has every neutral eye shadow shade I would need and it's just a bonus that it has my perfect shade for filling in my eyebrows which is called 'Frisk' as you can probably tell because I have hit the pan quite a bit now! I think this has such a variety of shades so I would say it's literally a perfect eyebrow palette! even though it's an eyeshadow palette it's perfect as it's basically a 2 in 1! The only downside is the price at £23 but it can be used in so many ways and with Urban Decay products you get what you pay for! The quality is amazing!

What is your favourite product or products for filling in your eyebrows?

Most Loved Eye Products of the Last Year

Let's start with: these are favourites from last year but they will definitely be through this year too, I am so addicted to using all of these makeup bits and that will carry on for as long as I can't find anything I love more, and right now it seems impossible that I will!

So these have all been very talked about items, so I have the Naked Smoky Palette to the Left, then two of the Lash Sensational Mascara's in the middle and then to the left I have my Mac Warm Neutrals Palette. These are all my most favouritest  eye makeup items of the last year and I'm sure I will be loving them this year in 2016, which may I add feels super odd to actually be saying...

I had never been a mascara junkie, I had always stuck to the same mascara, which when I think about it was good but didn't give me a lot of thickness too my lashes and they didn't look as good as I wanted them too, so I tried the Maybelline Lash Sensational in March of last year and I haven't looked back since! This is why I have included two as you can see the one on the left side the packaging looks very well love compared to my super shiny one on the right. I am currently on my third and I am so obsessed with it and I don't know if anything else can compare!

The Palette to the left is the Naked Smoky Palette and in the last few months of 2015, I had been using it daily, even if it was just a little bit of colour on my eye lids, it is amazing for creating those dramatic, sultry eyes and I feel like it has a mixture of day and night shades, a lovely one for experimenting with autumn eye looks, there's a festive gold and a champagne-y pink glitter, it has navy's, purples, silvers the list goes on. The possibility of difference looks you can make with it is endless! It's stunning!

The palette on the right hand side, is also a beautiful and luxury palette. It's the Mac Warm Neutrals palette and it has the most easy to apply warm shades which I think are perfect for autumn and summer as I tend to wear orangey copper eyes in the summer time, it I'm going out at night on holiday, or in the winter time when I want something quite warm glittery and festive. It has a lovely mixture of mattes and glittery/shimmery shades which I feel like is the only downfall in most of the Naked palettes as I love matte colours to deepen up the eye look and sometimes I can go a bit overboard with the glitter so I need matte shades to tone the eyes down. The Mac one is amazing for this as there is such a range of both and they will all complement each other, you don't need to think too much about the colours not matching as all of them seem too whatever ones I use together!

Naked Smoky Palette - www.houseoffraser.co.uk £38.00
Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara - www.superdrug.com £7.99
Mac Warm Neutrals Palette - www.selfridges.com  £65.00


These are my all round most loved and most used Eye Products of 2015 and I'm sure will be featured in lots of blog posts in 2016 I hope this has been an enjoyable read for you!

A Few Favourites Of December

So I have been loving so many amazing products this month but I wanted to share these three favourites on my blog today as I have used them all religiously this month. I think this is mainly because I love rose golds/golds and berry red autumnal shades in the winter season. And these are all these different colours which I adore wearing.

Buy them here: 
Mac Warm Neutrals Palette - www.selfridges.com
Benefit Rockateur Blush - www.boots.com
Avon Nail polish in Cherry Jubilee - www.avonshop.co.uk

I love doing my eyeshadow a lot it is something I find doing is very therapeutic and I love experimenting with different eye looks mainly warm toned as I feel like warm toned colours complement my eye colour a lot more.

That is why I'm loving my Mac Warm Neutrals palette this month, as I love gold/copper eye shadows on my eyes to really make my blue-y/green eyes stand out more. I especially love using the three colours from the middle right they all create the most gorgeous orangey brown eye look they are called honey lust, amber lights and saddle, I have also loved experimenting with the two shadows on the bottom right called divine decadence and unwind. The green-y colour reminds me of mermaids and could look so pretty for a party look I think!
This palette retails for £65 which is a bit steep but I saved for so long and it should be around £150 or more as the eyeshadows separeatly retail for £10 and there are 15 eye shadows.

The next is my lovely Rockateur Blush by Benefit, it is the most gorgeous almost dark rose gold shade, it is so pretty and looks gorgeous in the hollows of the cheeks a bit like bronzing and blushing yourself at the same time it adds a lovely subtle glow and just makes you look super healthy! This retails for around £23 which is expensive for makeup but I have used this so so long and I haven't even touched the pan at the bottom. (which is good as I never want it to run out!)

The last is my Avon Nail polish in Cherry Jubilee, it is one of my all time favourite nail polishes for autumn and it hasn't often been off my nails this month! If you want a lovely deep red which has slight purple tones too this is gorgeous and was only around £4, it lasts so much longer on my nails than other brands like L'Oreal and Barry M.

  

My ESSENTIALS for the Autumn/winter months

So today's post is my essentials for Autumn and Winter. So there's a mixture of things I'd use in both or in one or the other so let's get right into it and I will show you what my essentials are for the autumn and winter seasons we are in and will be going into soon! This post is also featuring some gorgeous Francesca Heels from Online Avenue which I was lucky enough to be sent so enjoy the blog post!

So Autumn is my favourite season because that's when my birthday is and who doesn't love the month their birthday is in (am I right?!) And in autumn I love having the appropriate nail and lip colours that I associate with autumn, so I have a mixture of nail polishes and lip products that I would use in both autumn and winter as I love them all and they are mostly berry/red shades which I find are perfect for both seasons! also I will tell you what all the nail polish/lip colour shades and brands are near the pictures below! 

In both autumn and winter my face/body needs a good moisturiser, as well they make your body feel so much softer and the cold weather can really make your arms/legs/face in particular really really dry. Now I like to use the Garnier Moisture Match in Dry to Very Dry as I find this really helps to bring back moisture into my face, this moisturiser in particular is also only for the face. The second is the Vaseline Spray and Go moisturiser which is amazing to just spray on rub it in and you're done. It dries so quickly which is what I need when I'm moisturising in the morning or before going to bed as I want something that will be quick and then I can carry on with what I'm doing. These products are both amazing if your skin is dry they are a life saver for me! Although everything featured in this post is an Autumn/Winter essential for me!

So If I can be bothered in Autumn/Winter, usually only if I'm going out somewhere nice I will make an effort with my makeup and put on eye shadow, so the palette here is my Mac warm neutrals. It has a mixture of shades but has a lot of gold/copper shades which I absoloutley love in the Autumn weather as well as I also do in the Summer! So basically this is a lovely palette which is a great all rounder for any season really as I wear these sort of shades on my eyes all year round but I love how festive the shades feel in Autumn/Winter too! And it's also perfect for creating christmas party eye shadow looks, as I LOVE A bit  LOT of glitter!
You can find the palette here

So I also have a tangle teezer and this is the gold compact one, it is such a good hair brush and I feel it's so good for on the go as I hate bringing a huge hairbrush (well compared to this one) If I'm travelling and don't want to many bulky items in my bag! the tangle teezer barely takes up any space at all!
You can find the same here

So quickly I will take you through my autumn/winter appropriate/favourite lips and nail colours which are: 

Nails: Nails Inc For glamour in Colville Mews, Avon Nailwear pro in Cherry Jubilee, both gorgeous colours I'm currently obsessed with!
Nails Inc Polish Here
Avon Nail Polish Here

Lip colours: Mac lipstick in Russian Red, Ted Baker Lipstick in Red (doesn't have a name) Rimmel Kate Moss in 22, Rimmel Kate Moss in 107 (matte lipstick) which are all my faves for this time of year!

So these are the gorgeous boots I was sent by www.onlineavenue.com, they are an amazing brand which I was chosen to feature on my blog from EtailPr I absolutely adore them and would love to feature them in a blog post soon so watch out for that too! 

Online Avenue is an online shoe company with such great value shoes any type you would want they have it on there! They go from a UK women's size 3- size 8 which is great as most people I know are within these sizes! They have such good bargains so if you want some new shoes that won't cost the earth go and have a look!

The one's I have here are the Franchesca Block Heel Pointed Toe Boots and I am totally in love with them! They have a gold detailed trim which is on the front of the heel which was one reason I totally fell in love and knew these needed to be mine! They also have a pointed toe which I think looks so nice on heeled boots but at the same time it isn't uncomfortable and these are super easy for me to walk in so that's an added bonus. I think these boots are really unique and will be coming more into trend through the colder months we are fastly approaching!

I also think that the material used to make these beauties is great as it looks suede but isn't. It's a Lycra material and this also makes them really easy to take on and off as it has good stretch, they also don't have a zip which is also a bonus for me as all my favourite boots I've had in the past with zips seem to break so easily and I've just given up with them, and I'm so happy I won't have to worry about this with these. They are the perfect addition to my shoe wardrobe and I would love to style them in some wintery outfits soon. 

So if you want to have a look at the amazing Online Avenue They have some of the loveliest shoes, heels, boots and even wellies! They have so much variety and for such amazing prices and I'm super impressed and I'm sure I would definitely want to buy some shoes from them in the future! 

They are just an essential for me now in the Autumn/Winter months as Everybody needs some warm boots to keep them toasty throughout the colder seasons!

What are your Autumn Winter Essentials?!

All About my Mac Palette & Favourite shades

This is the day I am going to talk to you all about my Mac Warm Neutrals palette and why I love it and my favourite and most used eye shadows in the palette. 

Firstly I thought I would mention to fill a Mac palette the insert is around £20 and then each of the singular eye shadows are £10 each, So you would be spending over £150 to fill up a Mac palette yourself with your hand picked eye shadows. I bought this for £65, which on it's own is A LOT of money to spend on eye shadow but I bought this with all my own money that I had saved around a year ago I think or maybe sooner, but it is so Amazing! And even a year later it is probably one of my favourite makeup items I have ever purchased.

My MAC Lipsticks

This is my current Mac lipstick collection, I joined the hype of Mac lipsticks around about two years ago, and my first one which I received as a birthday present from a friend was 'Creme Cup' it is probably the most hyped about Mac lipstick and I must say it is in my opinion the most lovely pinky lipstick and is perfect for Spring.

Lipsticks from Mac come in a range of different finishes these are: Cremesheen, Satin, Matte, Amplified, Amplified Creme, Frost, Glaze, Lustre, and Retro Matte, the finishes of the lipsticks I have are: Matte, Cremesheen, Amplified and Satin, these are also my favourite finishes.

My Eyebrow Favourites: For Beautiful, Bold Brows

Hello Everybody! Today's post is about my favorite makeup products to use on my brows, to either fill them in or set them in place.

Mac eye shadow in Omega

This colour I use Mac's 'Omega' eye shadow which is on the left of this palette obviously I don't use the right shade as it is a gold eye shadow called 'Woodwinked' this is also from Mac, Omega is definitely one of my ultimate faves as it creates a natural strong brow, if you have blonde or light brown coloured eyebrows, this is

a firm favorite for taming those brows!

Makeup look using the Mac warm neutrals palette

Today I have decided to do a makeup look using my Mac warm neutrals palette. I have chosen to go for bronzy eyes with a hint of shimmer and a red lip. I thought this would be a good blog post so that people who may want to try Mac, can see what are my favourite shadows and my lip option is because they are my current favourite makeup pieces. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this blog post and it will maybe help or be interesting to read.

I did also do foundation, powder and bronzer but
