Barbie Eyes.

Hey everyone!

So this is just a little quick post to show you the makeup look I went for yesterday, considering I sat in the house all day my landlord was raaaather confused by the full face of makeup! 

As you can see the eyes are pretty pink! I'm a bit obsessed with everything raspberry at the minute, the fruit, the flavour and the colour.. I'm currently wearing a raspberry coloured jumper and socks, it's taking over my life!

So onto the main products I used for this look! I'm not going to go through everything but just a few that I'm really rating at the minute! 

The Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin foundation in shade 'Cameo'! I am loving this foundation, I love the consistency and coverage! It's kind of a mix between MAC's Studio Fix Fluid Foundation and Studio Finish Foundation! This is £7.99 so a loooot cheaper and I think I actually preferred it to MAC on my face! 😱 it's SPF20 as well which is good because I'm always too lazy to add SPF into my routine *slaps wrist*. 

17 eyeshadow in 'Shocking Pink' and MAC eyeshadow in 'Cranberry'.. The holy grail of raspberry eyes! They look perfect together. I love Cranberry but I'm really impressed with the pigmentation of the 17 eyeshadows! I think they're £3.79 each or something close so brilliant if you want to experiment with colour and don't want to shell out £13.50 on a MAC eyeshadow!

Urban Decay eyeshadow in 'Shellshock' from the Vice 2 palette. This is my favourite inner eye highlight ever, it's so shiny and it looks good with every other eyeshadow combo I've tried it with so far!  Urban Decay eyeshadows are so pigmented, they really are one of my favourites!!

MAC 'Whirl' lipliner and 'Faux' lipstick.. The perfect nude combo. The holy grail. Unbelievable. Can't be beaten. End game here. That is all. 

Collection 'Lasting Perfection' Concealer, I've loved it for a long time, I left it for MAC, I came back! It's far easier to get your hands on, it's far cheaper and I enjoy a good doe foot applicator! Definitely worth a purchase, anyone who asks about what concealer to buy, I always direct them to this! Beaaaaut. 

What do you think of this makeup look?I'm thinking I'll be rocking this for my birthday look in Brighton with black eyeliner and HUGE eyelashes!

Have you tried any of these products? What do you think of them? Let me know!

Thanks for reading!

Post Exam Treats!

Helllooo!

My exams are over, and as many of you probably know, I love nothing more than a little bit of online shopping to celebrate such achievements :) Have a little looksy below at what I bought! 

This time I knew what I wanted whenever I finished my exams, I'd had my eye on the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade for so long, and a few days before my exams finished, Cult Beauty sent me that delightful email to tell me it was back in stock again! However by the time I got there, the shade I wanted 'Dark Brown' was already out of stock AGAIN (this is the 3rd time it's happened!!). I made my way over to Beauty Bay in the off chance that they would have it in stock, and thankfully they did! So as soon as I seen it, it was straight in my basket alongside the Anastasia Beverly Hills Angled Cut Brow Brush. I felt it was justified to buy the brush as well because I wanted the Pomade to be my perfect brow so I needed the perfect brush to apply it! The Dipbrow Pomade retails at £15 and the brush is £13. Swatches can be seen below.

On Beauty Bay, you also have the opportunity to pay an extra £1.95 for a premium sample product to be sent with your order, and it also means your delivery leaves the warehouse slightly quicker than the standard free delivery that Beauty Bay offer! You get to choose your own sample so it's not like you end up with a dodgy one you're maybe not fussed on. My choice was the Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser which for the full size retails at £34.99. This cleanser is AMAZING! It's a godsend, I've really been struggling with dry skin around my nose recently and its not been giving me a very smooth finish on my foundation! One application of this cleanser and that was GONE. You put it on, rub it in, and then wash it off. Easy peasy lemon squeezy and it gives GREAT results. I love it already, but £34.99 is a lot for a the full size so I would have to have a think about it when I've used it all up!

MAC - Eyeshadow in 'Cranberry'

Finally, the last thing I chose to buy myself was an eyeshadow I've been lusting over for years, since Becca bought it and used it on me I've been obsessed! Looked at it everytime I dandered through Selfridges or Duty Free, and finally on Wednesday 14th May it entered my life. And that eyeshadow is MAC's 'Cranberry' Eyeshadow. It's an amazing reddy plum shade with glitter, and it looks amazing on the lids! Beaut. Beaut. Beaut. I loveeeeeeee it. I've worn it so much already and I've only had it a week and a half! Check out the swatches of both Cranberry and the Dipbrow Pomade below!

Both of my exam treats made it onto my face for my night out after my exams, and I absolutely loved the result! The Dipbrow was perfect and made my brows look great, it's a bit dark but perfect for nights out.. It's kind of like a tint, so it lasted the whole way through the next day, even after a shower and washing my face!!

Have you tried any of these products?

Let me know if you have!

Lots of loveeee
