Autumn Party Eyes

So I was playing around with my Mac palette and came up with this autumn night out look, hope you like it :)

Products Used:
Illamasqua Eyebrow Cake - Gaze
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Mac Eye shadows - Blanc Type, Mythology, Cork, Naked Lunch
Matte Black from Sleek Storm Palette
Illamasqua Precision Ink - Abyss
Chanel Water proof kohl liner - Black
Rimmel Scandal eyes Mascara - Black
Kiss False Lashes

1. Outline eyebrows then fill in with an angled brush.
2. Apply primer all over the eye lid.
3. Apply Blanc Type to the brow bone for a highlight.
4. Apply Mythology to the lid and blend the edges.
5. Apply matte black eyeshadow to the outer corner of the eye and blend using a fluffy brush with Cork eyeshadow.
6. Continue to apply black and blend out until you get the intensity you want.
7. Apply naked lunch to the tear duct area.
8. Take the matte black under the lash line then apply black kohl liner to the water line.
9. Apply liquid liner to the upper lash line and wing out.
10. Apply mascara to top and bottom lashes and then apply false lashes to complete the look :)

This is a quick and simple look I'd wear to a party or a night out, to make it more wearable change the matte black to a brown, use a brown kohl liner such as Mac Teddy and remove the false lashes.

I have a question for you guys, I'm having a hard time getting good pictures if my make-up. They just never seem to show how it looks in person, any tips?

(Mac Rebel Dupe!) Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick

Being the lipstick addict that I am I have been dying to try out Rimmel's new Moisture Renew lipsticks. Having dry lips is a lipstick lovers worst nightmare, whenever I wear lipstick a couple hours later my lips feel like they've left me and gone to a desert. So moisturising lipsticks are something that always interest me. 

Although no lipstick is ever going to be as moisturising as a lip balm, Rimmel's Moisture Renew lipsticks definitely come close, if you were ever to make a lipstick out of butter I imagine these are what that would feel like. It is the softest lipstick I've ever applied! However that does mean you can end up with slightly clown looking lips if your not careful when applying it, I'd definitely recommend a lip liner before applying these lipsticks.

They have an amazing range of colours but there was one that was calling to me, once I got home I realised why! The colour I picked up was Dark Knight Water-oops! and if you read my last post you'll have seen I recently purchased Mac's Rebel lipstick in a Mac haul, these two colours are almost identical, they were so similar I couldn't wait to share!

MAC Rebel £15

Rimmel Moisture Renew Dark Knight Water-oops £6.49

 As you can see these lipsticks are almost identical, being a moisturising lipsticks Dark Knight Water-oops has more of a shine to it than Mac's Rebel and it is slightly darker in colour but these are slight differences and the colour is gorgeous in it's own right! I love both these lipsticks but if your on a budget Dark Knight Water-oops is a great lipstick to get your hands on.

Get it at Boots or Superdrug for £6.49

(Late) September Favourites

So I'm a bit late with my September favourites this month, partly because I can't actually believe its October already! Where has this year gone?! My other reason is that I've just been a lazy blogger recently (whoops) but here it is :).

1.Illamasqua Eye Brow Cake in Gaze - This is my favourite eye brow powder right now, I have been using my Maybelline pencil to outline the shape of my brows, then filling them in with this powder and I love it! It is a cool brown unlike a lot of powders which are more warm tones and don't worry it doesn't go on as dark as it looks!

2. Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 107 - My favourite thing about Autumn is wearing darker colours on my lips and this colour by Rimmel is my current favourite. It's a beautiful wine colour and lasts well on the lips. I have been wearing this with a simple, black winged liner, this is my go-to Autumn look.

3. Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Eternal Gold - I have been loving using this to create a golden smokey eye this month. This as a base for any gold shadow creates a beautiful vibrant gold that lasts all day long!

4. Illamasqua Blush in Tremble - This has been my go-to blush this month, it looks like a very pale pink in the pan but on the cheeks it just gives a lovely peachy pink glow. Weirdly enough it also smells amazing!

5. Illamasqua Precision Ink in Abyss - A lot of people don't seem to like this liquid liner and to be honest the formula is a bit strange, its very wet and when your taking it off it comes off in bits but I actually still really like this liner! It lasts all day and the applicator brush makes applying the liner very easy and fast.

6. China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy - No matter what time of year it is I always wear bright nail polish and this is my all time favourite, it is a luminous bright peachy colour and looks amazing on the nails. It does require a top coat to give it shine though as it dries slightly matte.

7. L'Oreal Ever Riche Nourishing Intense Mask - Since letting my hair grow out (way past my boobs now!) it's always so tangled especially when its wet so washing my hair and trying to detangle it afterwards has become such a chore as I'm sure it is for most people with long hair, but since I've started using this hair mask my hair has been so soft and smooth and when I'm brushing through it after I've washed it there are literally no tangles! It has been a life saver this past month and I'll definitely be repurchasing it after this one runs out.

Autumn Lips: Revlon Embellished

I'm not much of a lip gloss person but as soon as I seen this new shade from Revlon I immediately bought it. This is the PERFECT Autumn lip colour. It has a beautiful reddy, purpley shimmer and a deep purple coloured gloss so this looks great over both red and purple lipsticks, adding a beautiful shine but isn't too sticky.

These lip glosses are £5.99 in Boots and Superdrug so go check them out!

Favourite Lipsticks

Hey guys,
Lipsticks are probably my favourite make-up product to buy, I love to wear them with just a basic make-up (foundation, powder, bronzer, bit of blush and mascara) to add a pop of colour and make the look a bit less bland, my make-up doesn't feel complete without something on my lips! So I thought I'd share with you 4 of my most reached for lipsticks, 2 summer colours and 2 autumn colours as the summer months are on the way out sadly.

1. MAC Impassioned - This is a vibrant pink that definitely adds a pop of colour to your look, this looks especially nice with black winged liner on the upper lash line or nothing on the eyes at all except some mascara which at college was my go to look almost every day.

2. L'Oreal Colour Riche Magnetic Coral - As I mentioned in a previous post this is probably my favourite colour for summer! It is a beautiful coraly orange colour and looks amazing with almost any look, I wear this during the day with only some mascara on the eyes or at night with a bronze smokey eye. On holiday I wore this colour almost every night with a dark smokey eye, it doesnt make you look as over done as a red lip could look with such heavy eye make up it just ties your look together perfectly.

3. Rimmel Starry-eyed - This wine coloured lipstick is exactly what I think of when I think of autumn make-up. It is a slightly bold colour but once you work up the courage to wear it you'll never look back, this with a winged liner and some strong cheek contour is a beautiful  but edgey look perfect for the autumn months.

4. Rimmel Kate Moss 01 - This deep red is a beautiful autumn colour and reminds me of Christmas! This shade looks best with a winged liner or smudged kohl liner on the upper and lower lash line, keep it simple. I don't have much more to say about this lipstick (mental block) other than I love it!

Here are some swatches...
