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!

MAC - 'Embrace Me'

Helllllllooooo!

I'm currently at home in good old Northern Ireland! It's so gooood to be home!! 

My mum and I made a little excursion to Cheshire Oaks designer outlet when I moved back to Manchester in September! And much to my happiness they had an Cosmetics Company Outlet!! There was a LOT of people in it and it was so warm in the shop so I only grabbed one item! 

This little beauty is MAC's 'Embrace Me' lipliner! It's a briiiiight bright pink (verging on neon) and it's so so prettyyyy! Definitely not for those who are girlie girls but I definitely am!

MAC's lip liners are usually £12-£12.60 in store but this was £8.75 at the Outlet! That's a good saving to me and I was more than happy to pick it up at this price!! 

That's just a wee pic of me wearing 'Embrace Me' on a recent night out! 

What do you think of Embrace Me? Would you rock it?? Let me know what you think :)

Talk soon lovelies!

I'll maybe do a post on a few birthday items that I've received! But I don't want anyone to think I'm bragging or anything like that!! 

Lots of lurveeeeeee!

Topshop Lips Wishlist!

Helloooo everyone!

Exams are DONE! Yayyyy! They went well, I think I've managed to at least pass them all which means I'm not gonna be worrying until results day (which is the 28th of June for me!)

I'm finally home in Northern Ireland for the summer! 10 hours on a bus/boat was a loooong journey but I had my boyfriend at least so it wasn't too bad! Definitely was a weird experience though!

Ever since Zoella talked about Topshop lipsticks about a year ago I've been interested in them.. I thought they would be typical fashion shop makeup items & not much use.. But when I bought Nevada (a creamy nude) I was totally proved wrong! They're a gorgeous consistency and so easy to apply! And a steal at £8! They have a high end formula at a drugstore price point! 

I've also now become the proud owner of Innocent, a very light pink in a creamy texture & Hazard which is a matte dark red lipstick that I LOVE. Both of these lipsticks are actually still available on www.topshop.com so go have a nosey!

Now onto my wish list! I tried Brighton Rock on my hand a few weeks ago and fell in lurveeeee but tried to restrain because my makeup spending has been slightly extravagant the past little while! But now I just can't thinking about that gorgeous bright pink shade! I've been trying to be more adventurous with my lips, and I think a bright pink is just what I need! 

Next on my hotlist is Jewel! Jewel is a pH controlled bright orange which reacts with the natural pH of your lips to give you your perfect shade of orange! I seen Megs from Wonderful You talking about the Barry M pH adjusting lipstick which is pink, but after discovering topshop's version I'm more likely to try them because of the wider colour range! The pH adjusting lip tints are £9, which is double the price of the Barry M one, but I already own so many pinks I think I'd rather spend the money on a daring orange! 

Finally on the lipstick front is The Damned, a gorgeous dark plum/purple shade! You can see from a few posts back I bought Kontrol from Illamasqua, and I'm well and truly obsessed with it! I've worn it on every night out since & even during the day! The thing I'm most surprised about is that my boyfriend loves it and he's not usually a fan of me wearing heavy makeup! I fancy another purpley toned lipstick and at £8, half the pice of the Illamasqua one I'm certainly tempted to give it a try!

My last potential purchase from the makeup department in Topshop is a lip liner! I'm quite of a fan of a matte lip, after figuring or how to sort my dry, chapped lips (LUSH's lip scrub & Korres lip butter) so I'm definitely intrigued on wearing a full lip liner as a lip look! These lip liners are only £5 each and I find that pretty acceptable price wise! This is a dark red liner & I think it would look amaze with my Hazard lipstick! 

 

One final, amazing point with shopping at topshop is the student discount! It's only 10% but ultimately every little bit makes a difference, especially when it's so difficult to shop at places like Superdrug because you can't get discount without an NUS cars! But Topshop let you use your Unidays account for the discount which is much easier and FREE!

So, the question is... Which should I purchase? Just one? Two? Or them all? 

Let me know! 

Chat soon m'dears!

And if anyone has upcoming exams or assignment hand in dates... GOOD LUCK!
