Hello Everyone! Today I'll be writing about one of my favourite makeup products, concealer. Now even though this post is all about Maybelline, even it was called my top 3 favourites, these 3 would still be it!

First of all we have The Eye Eraser (Shade Light). This is a very popular concealer on social media and all for a good reason. It's very light weight yet has a really good medium - full coverage. I use mine in the shade light to highlight under the eyes, forehead, down the nose and chin.as well as concealing dark circles.

Next up we have the Fit Me concealer (in the lightest shade). Same as the eye eraser I use this concealer not only to conceal dark circles but to also highlight all over the face. Sometimes I even tend to layer this one on top of the Eye Eraser for an even more intense look.

Lastly we have the Superstay 24 Hour (Shade 3). This concealer is very full coverage and therefore very good for spot concealing. It's very long lasting and blends easily into the skin. However my only negative with this one is that the colour range isn't that great. If I am very tanned even this darkest shade would still be to light. However I find this problem with pretty much all drugstore concealers.

I'm yet to try any higher end concealers, so if you have any recommendations, let me know!

Hello Everyone! Today's post is a round up of some of my favourite eye looks I have created over the last month or so. I thought this would be a helpful post if you're looking for any inspiration one day, as I'm sure we all have those moments where we literally have no clue what to do to our face. Nothing inspires me more than looking at other makeup accounts on Instagram or blogs.

So thank you for looking, and I hope this inspired you to maybe try out a different makeup look one day!

Hey Guys! I have an MOTD (Makeup Of The Day) for you all!

Although this is a very colourful look, it's still wearable enough for everyday/ a nightout look.

If colourful eyeshadows are something that intimidate you purples are the best way to go as you can easily use them as a subtle hint of colour for example, swapping a dark brown in the outer crease for a dark purple.

Hello Everyone, today I'm coming at you with a mini haul and review of some new and old favourite products.

Superdrug were having a 3 or 2 on L'Oreal and I couldn't resist. I repurchased the L'Oreal True Match foundation which I have used for years! It provides a a medium to full coverage and lasts all day! Definitely one of my favourite foundation there is out there.

I also thought I would pick up their Lumi Magic Primer as I've heard many good things about this. (Swatch seen in picture 3) I used it for the first time this morning and it provides alot of glow to the skin and shines through my foundation brilliantly, so for my first impression it's good so far from me!

Lastly from L'Oreal is their new Infallible Sculpt Contour Palette. I chose mine in the shade Light/Medium (swatches in picture 5). I again have used this for the first time this morning and I'm not that overwhelmed with it if I'm honest. The colour although is in light and I am fake tanned was incredibly dark! It did blend out okay, which I used my real techniques sponge for, but like I say, not that amazing. I won't say it's a complete fail yet as I've only tried it once and will play with it a bit more over the next couple of days to get a true review.

Now lastly we have the Chocolate Bronzing Powder by Bourjois. This is another old favourite of mine which I have used since about the age of 14. It provides a lovely colour to the skin without being orange, and is a product I will always repurchase. I haven't really experimented much with many bronzers, so if you have any favourite, do let me know!

I hope this post was helpful to some of you, and I'll keep you updated with what I think about the primer and contour palette!

Hello Guys! So Today's post is a bit of a different one today, my room tour!

Now if I wasn't pursuing the career of being a makeup artist, I would definitely wan to be working as an interior designer or something along those lines.

Most of the objects and things in my room are either from auctions, charity shops or carboots a I love looking for individual pieces. And plus it's a lot cheaper to buy old rather than new! My room is rather eclectic I think you could say and I'm definitely not one for a minimal look.

My green desk (seen in picture 5) was a DIY project which i revamped a couple of years ago which I absolutely love as I know there isn't another one like it out there. Even just taking an old piece of furniture and painting it new colour makes such a difference to a room!

Pictures and photos are something which cover every wall in my room. The string of photos (seen in picture 4) was another super easy DIY job. I printed the photos from an app called LALALAB where you can select any photos you want, printed in whatever style - I choose polaroid - and they arrived in 2 - 3 days! If you are interested in printing some of your own I have a code so you can print £5 worth of photos for free Just use PGKZQP08

I hope you enjoyed Today's post!

Hello again everyone! Today I have an MOTD for you on this copper eye look and burgundy lip.This was super easy to create, yet the result is still very glam! Also a bit different for me, I didn't use any liner even though I used false lashes. You just have to make sure you place the falsies as close to the lash line as possible. Hope you like it!

Hey Guys! So I was very lucky on my birthday and received a fair amount of Soap & Glory products, which made me super happy as they all smell ahmazing! I've always been a very big fan of their products, aswell as their makeup, however I haven't tried everything.

Here I have:

The Scrub of Your Life

Hand Food

Peaches and Clean Cleansing Milk

Clean on Me Body Wash

Heel Genius Foot Cream

Sun Kissed Body Lotion

The Righteous Butter

I've tried the body butter and body wash before which I really love, as I'm sure most people do. But I can't wait to try out the other products, especially the cleansing milk!

I'll be sure to give you an update on what I think very soon.

Right today's post is about one of my favourite products of life!! MAC Soft & Gentle. This is suuuuch a gorgeous highlight I literally dust it all over my face! It retails at £24 I believe, which although sounds expensive a little goes a long way! Soft & Gentle is very shimmery and is a white gold colour, so perfect for when you have a tan! Since buying this, I have become a little obsessed with higlighting, as I think everyone did in 2015! So if you have any highlight favourites definitely let me know what ones I need to check out!

Hey Guys! Here is another eye look for you all! I created the whole look using the Urban Decay Naked Smoky pallet (which you can see above). The shade dirty sweet, which is the colour I used on the lid is beautiful! I mixed the two brown shades all through the crease and focused the darker in the outer corner for a smokey effect, and then went in with as much liner possible! I am wearing the Prima Lashes in #553, which are a definite staple for me.
