Makeup | Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette - Iconic 3

Hellooo! Hope it's sunny/decent weather/not raining where you are! It's been alright in the midlands for once :)

I've been banging on about this palette for a while now, so here's a post to show you the gloriousness of it...


Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette - Iconic 3

Soooo.. This palette is supposed to be a dupe of Urban Decay's NAKED 3 Palette. On the unit it even says "DUPE!"

I've never used the Urban Decay NAKED 3 palette, so I can't comment on the likeness. What I can comment on, and I will forever more, is HOW BLOODY AMAZING THIS PALETTE IS FOR FOUR POUNDS. FOUR. POUNDS.

I'm obsessed with using this palette recently. It's in my daily routine now, even for work. You have the perfect shades to create a subtle everyday look, but you can also use the more shimmery shades to go alllll out. I use a primer underneath (either the NARS Pro Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base or Benefit's Stay Don't Stray Stay-Put Primer).

As you can tell from the last picture, I use 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th, and 8th shade the most. I use these as "all over the lid" eyeshadows, and I would use the 11th shade a crease shade for all my looks.

I know for a fact, as soon as this palette hits pan on any of the shades, I will run and get another. In fact, I'll probably buy a back up soon, so that never has to happen... (This is how much I frickin' love this palette).

If you're young/on a budget/love makeup/a human being, I urge urge urge you to go out and grab this palette. It will complete your collection that you thought was already complete ;)



Hope you like my excitable rant about this palette, I just can't contain my love for it. I've been speaking about it on my sites for over a month now... Oops.

Video | No Tools Needed Makeup Look

So as I was doing my makeup yesterday morning (more like afternoon because I was having a proper lazy Sunday...), I thought,
"Why not just film right now?!" So I did, and I wanted to film a makeup look using the tools that I was born with; MY HANDS!

Makeup | Changing Up My Makeup For Summer/Shopping My Stash!

I can tell this is going to be a looooong post, so bear with me!

I'm going to talk about the products that I pull out of the dusty drawers for the Summer sunshine. I'm talking, creamy, bronzey, glossy goodness all wrapped up in to one and slapped all over my face. Lets get in to it...



Cream Eyeshadows 

L-R: Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerise in Norma Jean and Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24Hr in On and On Bronze

I love these at the best of times so when it comes to Summer I'm all over these bad boys. These two particular ones are my absolute faveys at the moment. Creamy and easy-to-apply goodness in to one tiny pot. Slap on in the morning at 6am before work and I actually look presentable. The CT one is a different formula to what I've used before, but I LOVE IT. It's got a cooling feel when you apply it on to the lids, and it feels so good in the morning.



Glitter Pigments/Highlighter

Top L-R: MAC Pigment in Milk, Barry M Fine Glitter Dust in Iridescent Gold.   Bottom L-R: Illamasqua Pigment, Topshop Glow in Polished

Yeeeesssss! These are my life during the Summer. The way the shimmer/glitter/iridescent catches the sun is beautimous and I can't stop staring at myself when I catch my pretty face in the mirror (I'm only jokingggg).
I urge you to get one, and in fact, my favourite one is the Barry M Fine Glitter Dust in Iridescent Gold because it is pure beauty in a tiny £3.49 pot. No excuses.



Cream Blusher

L-R: NARS Mutiple in Orgasm, Illamasqua Cream Blusher in Promise

Dewy skin is my jam (but only in the Summer, I'm a matte kinda-gal in the Winter). I've written about the Illamasqua Cream Blushers here and you'll see that I rave about them! And the NARS mutiple is just a handy on-the-go/travel/top-up kind of product that you can pop in your makeup bag. It's exactly how the powder version looks on the skin, but more creamy in texture and I think I prefer this formula for Orgasm (not to say the powder blush version isn't good, because believe me, it is glittery heaven).



Contour
 

L-R: NARS Bronzer in Laguna, Travel/Sample size of Benefit Hoola Bronzer, Charlotte Tilbury's Sculpt and Highlight contour kit

I am definitely one of them people who look healthier with a tan (actually, that's probably everyone)... So, to fake it before I make it on a holiday or sunbathing in the English Summer sun I bronze my face, jawline and neck to smitherines just to look 'healthy'. These are all on par for me in terms of colour, application and quality. I use the Real Techniques Contour Brush which is the perfect shape and taper for the hollows of my cheeks.



Creamy/Glossy Formula Lipsticks

L-R: MAC Lustre Lipstick in Plumful, Revlon Lip Butters, Fresh Sugar Lipbalm in Ruby

These are the only kinds of lipsticks I'll use in the Summer. I do occasionally wear a matte red lippy, but I honestly don't have the patience for it in the Summer. These particular lipsticks are easy for me because I don't need a mirror to reapply and in fact these all pack a lot of punch, so I would only really reapply if my lips felt dry, not because I've lost the colour. Another one I have completely forgot to photograph is my Tom Ford's Lip Colour shine in Insidious.


WOW! I can talk when I want to talk about makeup. Anywho, I'm still sunning myself in Portugal, so this is a pre-uploaded blog post. Majority of these products I will be taking though, so lets hope they stand the test of 30+ degrees celcius heat!

What products will you be picking up to use this Summer? I may need to haul in a few makeup bits soon ;) (like I never do anyway...)



Hope you enjoyed this different kind of post, I've really enjoyed writing it actually! Make sure to follow me on Twitter and Instagram to see what I've been up to in Portugal!

Makeup | Max Factor Creme Puff Blush

I've wanted to try these blushers for so long and I was shopping the crappy little makeup market stall in my town when I spotted this particular one for £3. Nabbed it right in the bag!


Maybelline Creme Puff Blush in 10 Nude Mauve

Poor pic qual, apologies. Couldn't steady my hand when it was in macro...

So this isn't the most pigmented blush in my collection, but actually it's enough to create a lovely everyday flush. As you can see in the pictures, it's a browny-pink blush which is a baked formula (which I think comprimises on the pigmentation).
Surprisingly, it comes out a lot more rosier than I expected; I was expecting a brown shade that I could use more as a bronzer.

I do enjoy using this blush for everyday because I like to build it up a little just so you can see a little something something on my cheeks. The reason I wanted it so much is because they remind me of the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blushes, and I haven't tried these either, but oh so desparately want to!!!


How do you get along with these blushers? Do you like baked formula blushes? This is the first time I've used one and I thiiiink I like it. I think I'm a little disappointed in the pay-off, but it is buildable so I think I need to get used to this



See you tomorrow for a YouTube video!

Video | Festival Packing Essentials

I'm sooooo soooo sooooooo ecstatic to be going Glastonbury in a couple of weeks! I just love festivals and the atmosphere at festivals is incredible. It's just so cheery and full of drunk people (and I don't even drink a lot). AND THE FOOD AT GLASTONBURY IS SO GOOD.

This might be controversial but I LOVE KANYE WEST. Like, he is one of my favourite artists. Honestly, I think I'm gonna cry when I see him.

So, as I was saying, here are my festival packing essentials I will be taking to Glastonbury and hopefully it helps you guys who have never been to festival to know what to pack. I mean, as I mentioned in the video, I've only been to Leeds festival in 2012 and Glastonbury last year, but I think I got the packing down to a T this year!

Watch my 'Festival Packing/Makeup' video here!

What have I missed? I know I've missed something. Go on, pick it out and let me know



See you next week,

Makeup | Sephora Cream Lip Stain in 03 Strawberry Kissed

Who doesn't love talking about red lipstick?!! If you don't, AWAY WITH YOU! Nah, not really, you can stay. As long as you read this post ;)


Let's talk about my holy grail red lipstick for all eternity...


Sephora Cream Lip Stain in 03 Strawberry Kissed

Random I know, but I just like the Guerlain flower thing.. It was used for testing perfumes in store

Ohhhh my gahd! This lipstick is glorious. That's all I need to say, so go try it now! BYE.

Not really lol I'm so funny.. not.

Sooooo... This is a cream lipstick formula that comes in tubular packaging and it is applied with a doe-foot applicator (as you can see in the pictures, duuuhhh Abby!). The applicator makes it easy for me to apply to all the corners of my (big) mouth.
The formula is out of this world. It applies quite liberally and creamy, it's almost like a lipgloss texture. However, after I apply a layer, it sets down matte. But not that unbearable, drying, flaky kind of matte that I normally encounter with other matte lipsticks. It stills feels creamy throughout the day and DOES. NOT. BUDGE.
If you're looking for long-lasting matte lipstick that isn't drying, then I urge urge URGE you to check this out!

What are your red lippy holy grails? Any other red lipsticks I should check out? I really should take the plunge and get the infamous MAC red lippies like Ruby Woo, Lady Danger, Russian Red etc. Let me know how you've got on with these lippies too!


Hope you liked this post. I know I've talked about this lippy a lot recently, so thought I would dedicate a whole post to it



See you tomorrow for my festival prepping/packing video!

Makeup | Benefit Watt's Up Highlighter

Charlotte Tilbury's Filmstar Bronze and Glow highlight powder in a cream formula? This is your answer


Benefit Watt's Up Highlighter

Look at the beautiful golden shimmery-ness! It is the most gorgeous creamy highlighter to use; I put it on the tops of my cheekbones, down the centre of my nose and on top of my cupids bow. It gives that "candlelight", lit from within look to my skin (as CT describers her Filmstar Bronze and Glow highlight powder). 
I actually got this in the Benefit beauty advent calendar from Christmas 2014. It's in a dinky tiny sample size, but it makes it perfect for using on my face as it's the perfect size; it's not too big for the different areas of my face.

The full size is £24.50 with a sponge on the other end to blend it in with. I use my fingers to blend it and it's such an effortless product to use. I would definitely be tempted to buy the full size, but I think this dinky one is still going to last me a while! 


Another creamy highlight product I love to use is the Topshop Beauty Glow Pot in Polished. But this is blog post for another day!


What highlighters do you guys like to use? Highend or drugstore, I would love to see what other options there are out there. I don't think there are many highlight products in the beauty market that people talk highly of! So let me know your thoughts!



See you tomorrow for a Youtube video!

Makeup | Favourite Bronze Creamy Eye Products

Bronze creamy eye products. My favourite lazy/stayed-in-bed-too-long products to use on my eyelids that are just sweep and go!

Here are my favourite go-tos.

Charlotte Tilbury Colour Chameleon colour-morphing eyeshadow pencil - Amber Haze
This one is the smoke-iest and darkest of the lot. If I'm channeling the sultry, sexy, smoky look for the day, this is the one. I swipe it all over my eyelid, blend in with my ring finger and hey presto! A beautiful smokey eye look in under 2 minutes! Claps all round for CT!

SMASHBOX WATERPROOF SHADOW LINER - Metallic Marble
I would say this has to be my favourite of the bunch. So pigmented and the perfect bronze eye colour that suits my skin tone! I found this at the outlet makeup shop in Bicester Village and cannot find it anywhere else. But if someone knows where to get this, then hook me up 'cause when this runs out, all hell will break loose... You've been warned!

CHANEL STYLO YEUX WATERPROOF Long Lasting Eyeliner - Or Rose
I bought this eyeliner Spring 2013 because it came out with that particular Chanel collection. AND IT IS STILL GOING STRONG! This isn't technically a bronze shade (it's actually gold... lol) but it goes with all these eye products when I wear it on my bottom waterline. It gives that golden kick every person needs in their lives. I will forever pair this with a bronze-y eye look.

CHANEL STYLO YEUX WATERPROOF Long Lasting Eyeliner - Ambre Dore
This is in the same family of eyeliners as the Or Rose shade, but this one is actually more bronze-y/orange-y. This one I will also use on my bottom waterline and it gives a deeper sultry look than Or Rose. I love it.

Maybelline EyeStudio Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Gel Eyeshadow - On And On Bronze
Ye olde faithful. The infamous Colour Tattoo's from Maybelline really do match the hype the receive! Ring finger dipped in to the pot, swept across the eye lid,  Faint from the Naked Basic's palette in the crease and that's me done for a more amped up everyday look. I love this pot and as you can see, I'm running out! Which only means that I'll be running to the store to grab some more!


What bronze-y eye product do you love that I can add to my obssession? I've had all of these for quite a while now, so I would love to find more from other brands!


See you tomorrow for a YouTube vid!

Makeup | Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze and Glow - THE NEXT BEST THING

If you were expecting me to rave about the perfect bronze and highlighting palette, i.e. Charlotte Tilbury's Filmstar Bronze and Glow, then you are WRONG! (Sorry, don't mean to sound rude...) I'm gonna talk about the next best thing

Sleek Face Contour Kit - Light

This isn't an exact dupe for CT but it is bloody amazing for a drugstore product!

The bronze shade is the perfect shade for contouring; not too grey, not too orange. It adds a good depth and gives your face them cheekbones that you've been longing for. It is definitely darker in shade than CT, even in the light shade, but it isn't noticeable on the skin, especially if you blend it in good and proper! The Sleek shade has shimmer in, which suggests it can also be used at the high points of your face, but not nearly as much as CT. Saying that, I still use both for contouring my face and I love the effect.

The highlight shade is more pink-y than CT but it still looks beautiful; I use it on the tops of my cheeks, down my nose, inner corners of my eyes and on my cupids bow (basically everywhere...). I would say it's not as pigmented as CT but I guess that's the price you pay for drugstore products and I can't complain because the palette has lasted me for aaaaaaages.


Any contour and highlight products I should try out? High-end or drugstore, not too fussed! Comment below your reccs!
