Weekly Favourites (week starting 14/11/11)

 

Each week I plan to make a weekly favourites - of products that i've used most that week...

This week i've been using pretty much these products over and over again!!
MAC eyeshadows in Vanilla, Naked Lunch, Satin Taupe and Handwritten - they make a really day time look together. and for my brows recently I've been trying a lot of different products...MAC Quarry...Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil...Random Brown eyeshadows...but I've found that I like the Avon glimmerstick brow definer in dark brown...I've noticed that a looooooot of girls use MAC cork on their brows so I might try that one next :)

I'm not really much of a blush person but this week I've been loving these two cream blushes...The Natural Collection Rosy Pink and Maybelline Dream Touch Blush 07 (I seem to of lost my MAC Dollymix blush - which is lost within my make up bag....it has to be somewhere in the house) these two are really nice and stay on quite well - surprisingly the cheaper of the two (the natural collection) blush stays on for longer.

I've also gotten back into my MAC lipstick combo of Speed Dial Lipstick with Pinkarat Lusterglass ontop It looks super pretty together!!

As for perfume I've been using my YSL Elle nearly every single day as my other perfumes (Chanel - Chance; the pink one, Britney Spears - Fantasy, Playboy - Go Play, Kylie - Darling, are all too sweet smelling for Autumn/Winter however so is YSL but less so i guess haha )

Updated MAC Palette

So I've nearly filled my first MAC palette up - only 2 left to go!!!

here are the swatches of all the colours (my skin is NC15 for anyone who is wondering)

Highlighted Makeup

 

Really bright highlighted shinny make up inspired by a photo i saw online of Kim Kardashian... unfortunately however I can't find that photo again (sorrrryy!!!).

On the eyes I started off by apply Vanilla by MAC all under the brow bone...then I used MAC Electra on the lids (it is a very shinny light silver colour), after that I applied MAC Quarry (a matte light brown) in the crease and blended it up towards the brow bone I then applied Satin Taupe to the crease just to add some shine! and then blended it up again to the brow bone... after that I applied a Handwritten by MAC (a darkish brown) to the outer corner just to darken the look up a little! I then applied a frosty white into the inner corner just to brighten up the eye (this colour is by NYC but I forget the name of it). After that I just used a liquid eyeliner on top, a white khol liner in the waterline and lots of mascara :)


For highlighting the face I used the MAC wonderwoman powder in pink powder, although you can just use a matte bronzer for contouring and phloof by MAC is a similar colour to the highlight shade in the powder but  phloof is an eyeshadow......on my lips is my all time favourite creme de nude lipstick from MAC.

Sorry that this look is all by MAC - which i know is expensive to buy but this look can also be created by using drugstore products :)

also...Sorry that  I haven't been blogging for a while!! i've been busy :))

Evening Make up 3/10/11 - 4/10/11

 3/10/11 - not that I ever go out at all during an evening I do often get bored and there for practice make up yesterday I did a blue under-toned smokey eye look. These looks are inspired by Andrea (teodora andreeva) and Alexandra Stan

I used bourjois shimmering shine liquid eyeshadow (35 gris platine) as a base all over the lid and then applied a light grey all over the lid then blended a darker grey into the outer corner and the crease. I then applied black into the outer corner and the crease slightly to darker the whole look (also black under the eye) I then applied a shimmering white to highlight thee browbone and inner corners before taking a concealer brush and making a sharp line and the outer corner complete with eyeliner mascara and false lashes :) 

 

4/10/11 - this look is basically the same as yesterday apart from that I used MAC paintpot in bare study as a base and applied the black first into the crease and outer corner making a smokey effect I then blended the black out with a matte brown shadow to lighten and soften the harshness of the black I then took a matte white/cream colour and applied this to the brow bone I then did the lid and patted on a sparkley grey eyeshadow....completed with winged eyeliner and mascara (i would of used false lashes if I could of found the glue! haha )

Make up & Hair inspired by Alexandra Stan

 

This look is inspired by Romanian beauty Alexandra Stan's music video for Mr Saxobeat in which she has a dark blue smokey eye and curled hair swept to one side. 

 Products used:

• H&M Palette eyeshadows (dark blue mixed with dark silver) (all over lid)
• MAC contrast (under eye and crease) 
• MAC carbon (outer corner of eye blended into the crease and under the eye in the outer corner) 
• MAC dazzlelight (as highlight on the brow bone)
• Barry M black eyeliner kohl (waterline)
• MAC Fluidline in Blitz & Glitz ( on the top lash line)
• Bourjois Volume Clubbing Mascara (top and bottom lashes)

 Hair:

1.  curl all your hair first with a side parting (I used GHD straighteners but curling tongs will also work :) oh and don't forget to use heat protector ;) )
2. bring all of the hair onto one side and grip into place then using pins, pin any curls down that are sticking out (if you like you can leave a few pieces of hair out at the front on the other side)
3. arrange the fringe so that it is swept across  the face and so that abit is back into the curls and then pin into place!
4. then use lots and lots of hairspray hehe et volia!!

And yes I have dyed my hair AGAIN!!! :D hehehe back to blonde :) 

 

Haul (24/9/11)

Today, I went shopping - admittedly I was only going to by some black trousers but I ended up with make up you know how addicting it is :P

I got an angled and smugey brush from h&m for £1.99 - I mainly just wanted this for my fluidline :)

As you may know I have been digging into the bottom of my MAC creme de nude lipstick for a while and since I had no more to dig out I brought myself another one (I've repurchased this 3 times now it's my all time favorite lipstick!!) £13.50

I got this quad from h&m for £3.99 and all 4 colours are unbelievably pigmented! like wow!!!! they're all super pretty colours too :)

I saw this in pound world and thought wow that looks pretty i swatched it and it reminded me a lot of the pink side in my wonderwoman MAC powder (pink powder) so I brought this - bargin for just £1 and super pretty too!!

After doing my autumn inspired looked for a few days now using my sleek limited edition palette I decided I best get a permanent colour so I don't run out of the limited one :P it's super pretty too I got it in pan form and although it's not in my palette plan (yes i do have a mac palette plan) It's pretty anyway I think next on my list is embarked :) this was £9.50 in pan form but I believe that in the pots its £12/13.50

I was in need of some exfoliating scrub and I saw this one in boots from Soap and Glory (flake away) I have some other Soap and Glory products and they smell AMAZING!! as does this one!! so I brought this one I'm hoping that it will last me a while as their products are on the pricier end of the market where drugstore brands are concerned I think this was £6-ish I don't quite remember exactly - ekk! 

 So that was my haul for today, I will defiantly do a review on the Soap and Glory scrub once I've used it a few times and most likely a look from the H&M quad :)
