Line 'em up..

Hellloooo everyone. 

So on Sunday I shared a quick snapshot of what I bought in Bluewater/Windsor :)

This is just a quick post of how I used one of my favourite products I picked up!

I have hooded lids, and it's basically the bane of my existence!! Eyeshadow is basically pointless unless it's the whole way to my eyebrow, eyeliners smudge and end up on my upper lid! Even Benefit's "They're Real" liner.. I asked and I asked the member of staff on Carnaby St and she said it was suitable for hooded lids.. 15 minutes, I resembled a panda!! So I was majorly pissed off and it definitely put me off purchasing from them again in the future!

The item I've fallen in love with is the L'Oreal Super Liner Perfect Slim Intense in 'Blue' which was £6.99!

For me, this is one of the best liners I've tried.. Minimal smudging and the nib is so neat it actually glides on so easily! The colour is so intense as well, it really is the colour of the lid! This is definitely a favourite of mine.

Check out the pics below showing how I've used it! The first two are the normal flicks I would wear, and the others are when I winged it out further for more dramatic effect! Apologies for the picture quality, the lighting in this house isn't the best, it's really difficult to get a real representation!! Also, check out my lovely tan lines from when I got burnt in Brighton, oops! 

Have you tried these eyeliners? 

What do you think of them? 

Thanks for reading!!

Mac Miller FOTD!

Holaaaa.

Just a quick little post to show what I wore to the Mac Miller gig at HMV Ritz in Manchester on Sunday 06/10/2013! The tickets were £17.50 and he was brilliant! Such a good crowd and the atmosphere was buzzing! Everyone was so pumped to see him! He had 2 support acts - one didn't really fit in with Mac's music style but he was still a beautiful singer and his name was Dylan Reynold and you can check him out here! His second support act suited the bill a little better and he was Rockie Fresh! He got the crowd going and everyone was fully ready for Mac! Mac Miller came out and was even watching his support act which I think is great because it showed how much he actually SUPPORTED that new, up and coming artist.. We caught a sneak peek of him checking out Rockie Fresh! 

I kept my face pretty simple, foundation, bronzer, blush, lashings of mascara and small eyeliner flicks on the eyes.. The reason it was so plain was because I was wearing GREEN on my lips! Becca had told me she'd seen a make-up counter sales girl wearing Navy eyeliner on her lips with gloss so I decided to try this outttt!

I used MUA's Intense Colour Eyeliner Pencil in the shade 'Forest Green'! I wore a MAC Dazzleglass over the top of the liner, but it actually made the liner come off faster so I scrapped that and left it as a matte look!

I liked this look, I do admit I got a few strange looks but sureeee I don't care! It's all about experimenting so I was happy with how the look turned out! Good for a gig when no-one is taking themselves to seriously!

I wore a cheap tartan smock style dress from a shop in Manchester's Arndale Shopping Centre called 'Shout'! It was £7 so I couldn't say no to that! I tied a denim shirt around my waist and also had suspender tights on, but they were toooo much - it was SO WARM!! I had my faithful vans on and they were super comfyyyy! Sorry I couldn't get a photo of my outfit, we were running out of time!!

If you wanna check out Mac Miller then have a little clicksy HERE

Talk soon!

Let me know about what you think of colourful lips, too much or okay?

mwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah xxxx

Quick FOTD!

Getting a call from your mother at 8.30am to say you've to take your little brother to the doctors for half9 is not the best start to any day, especially after a bad nights sleep! My priorities were to stay in bed as long as possible and sacrificing any chance of looking nicely made up! 

With only 10 mins to get ready, I stuck on a little concealer on my blemishes (which there are a lot of recently!!) and under my eyes to hide any dark circles! I filled in my eyebrows with just the powder of Benefit's Browzings to save time! A few coats of Rimmel London's Endless Lash Accelerator and a coating of MUA's Power Pout I'm 'Crazy in Love' on my lips! 

My hair was a mess, the only downside to short hair is that when you wake up it generally resembles a crow's nest, so I stuck on a beanie.. A comfy tee and a black skater shirt (because it's still warm in Northern Ireland!) and I was ready to go!!

Not the greatest look but easy for running about being Big Sis Taxi's and doing any messages that I had.. How grown up do I sound?? ;-) it actually felt nice to let my skin breathe in the nice weather without layers of makeup clogging up my skin!

Do you have any quick-fix makeup tricks? Let me know in the comments, or drop me a tweet @RachelVennard :-) I'd love to hear from you! 

Until next time! Mwahhhh xx
