Latest Beauty Buys

Now everyone loves a good nosy at what people buy. So I thought I would show you a tiny little haul of things that I have purchased recently. If you follow me on instagram (you can find me here) you will know I have decided to take part in #FugalFebruary so this will hopefully be the last one until at least March. If you want to see any #FrugalFebruary content then please comment and let me know. Now on to the haul.... 

I told you it was teeny tiny. So first up is the Soap and Glory One Heck of a Blot, this is a repurchase, the last one I had hit pan a long time ago now and I have been meaning to repurchase it so I am glad I finally have. As opposed to a normal powder that provides coverage this is a blotting powder, which just makes sure that oil is kept at bay. It also means that I can apply it as much as I like and it won't cake up on my face. 

Next up is something a little different for me in brand and type of product. I have never bought anything from Miss Sporty before, well I don't think I have. I also don't own anything like this. It is a purple toned eye shadow quad. On the back it says that it is suitable for green eyes, so I don't know if there are different ones for different eye colours but I love experimenting with the colours with this. 

And lastly after coming towards the end of my Lush Christmas Bath Bombs I thought I would treat myself to a new bath bomb. This is Tisty Tosty and I think this might be part of the Valentine's Day range but I am not 100% sure. As I am yet to try it I can't give you any more detail. Sorry. 

So thats the end of my little haul. Let me know what you have bought recently below. 

See you soon.

Party Makeup Inspiration

I feel like once the festive season has gone people stop posting so many make up tutorials especially for parties. People still have birthday parties to go to in January so I thought I would post a party eye make up inspiration. Now I know I am still a novice at make up but I hope you can appreciate what I was trying to go for. This is what I did to create the look: 

Tools:

• An eye primer - I used the Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin but which ever one you have available will do. 
• Sticky tabs - I use these to help me get the cat eye flick but if you are good at doing it you probably don't need to bother. 
• A neutrals palette - I used the Collection Uncovered Palette in the shade Nude but again any palette that has a good highlight and shimmer base colour will be good. 
• A shimmery bronze brown - I used shade three from the Avon True Colour Quad in Mocha Latte. 
• A liquid black liner - I used the L'Oreal Super Liner Superstar not my favourite liquid liner but I had no other options. 
• A black kohl liner - I used the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Zero but use anyone you have and that you like
• A blending brush 
• A flat brush. 

Steps: 

1. Apply eye primer over lid and crease. 
2. Put the sticky tabs on the corner of your eyes if using.
3. Apply the highlighter colour from nudes palette over your brown bone and then apply the gold shimmery base colour over your lid with the flat brush. 
4. Apply the shimmery bronze brown shade in your crease and blend out. If the colour is not intense enough for you, do this process again. 
5. Next the tricky bit for me, apply the liquid liner with a cat flick. 
6. Now pull off the sticky tab and continue the liner to the bottom lash line. 
7. Use your kohl liner to line your top water liner and your bottom lash line.

If you want me to do a post on the rest of my make up let me know. 

See you soon.
