Tropical Eye Make Up




I have recorded this make up tutorial earlier today with a new Collection 2000 trio I got today. I really like the colours and they are really quite wearable for me. The tutorial will be on youtube tonight or tomorrow night. I also brought Revlon's Photoready foundation as my usual one is running out and I wanted to try something different. It is usually £12.99 but it was on offer for £9.99. I watched loads of reviews this morning on what foundation to get and I decided on this one.
I have started a new thing where I save
up my paper round money every week (I get £4 a week) to buy something whether its make up or clothes. At the moment, I'm more into make up. The next thing Im saving for is the Gosh Primer
(I think it's the velvet touch one?) That is £13 somethings. So about 3/4 weeks saving unless I do some jobs around to house for extra money. (I get £4 if I wash the car, so I could do that this coming weekend)
I am also going shopping in Manchester on f
riday as we have inset day, mainly vintage shopping so I am really excited for that. I might do a haul if you would like?
Here are the pictures of the eyeshadow trio
that Im in love with (and it was only £2.99)

Fresh Dewy Spring/Summer Face Make Up


I just put up a video on some Glowy and Fresh Make Up for Spring and Summer. It has been really hot this week in England so I thought it had better be time to start wearing that sort of make up. So, here are the products I used..
Products:
-Maybelline Dream Creamy Foundation
-A mix of Revlon Colourstay and my moisturiser.
-Mac Studio Sculpt Concealer
-Collection 2000 Sheer Loose Powder
-Natural Collection Bronzer in 'Sunshine'
-Mac 'Bare Study' Paint Pot (highlighting)
-Dark Pink Cream Blush

Here is how I did it.
1)First thing to do is moisterise. This will help the foundation glide on better and have more of a glowing appeal to the skin.
2)Apply a foundation/tinted moisteriser. I used a matte finish foundation around the outsides of my face and more of a glowy foundation around my nose area.
3)I applied concealer to my under eyes and any blemishes.
4) I Used a powder all over my face.
5)I used a paint pot as my highlighter which actually worked really well. I used this on my nose, cheekbones, middle of the forehead and on the cupids bow.
6) I then applied a cream blush and a cream blush blends in better leaving your skin looking and feeling more natural and adds a glow to the skin rather than a powder blush.

Hauly Hauly.

Ahhh shoes!!!
Espadrils (top left) - Primark - £3 (bargin)
Black Heels (bottom right) - Cow - £1
Brown heels (bottom left) - Cow - £1
These shoes are such bargains. The black ones were a little scuffed but not that it mattered, they were 1 squid. The brown shoes look black on this photo but they are brown (as you imagine any vintage brown colour) And the espadrilles, such a good deal, (I know someone who payed 10 squid for some, they look exactly the same) Primark have different colours too, a black, navy blue and I think some more too. I explain in the next few pictures what outfits you can wear these shoes with.

Dress - Wild - £3
Necklace - Primark - £1.50
This dress is something I wasn't actually sure if I was going to wear, and you should have seen the look on the mothers face when I showed it to her. But it turns out I actually really like it. Because of the white trimming on the sleeves and collar, any accessories that are white would go with this. I have a really nice pair of small white heels that i wear with this and this necklace is fine too. Also, those really nice little 50's white bags with this too, (I do have one somewhere in my room) This is such a nice outfit for summer.

Skirt - Cow - £3
I'd wear this with maybe a chiffon blouse? And the brown or black heels would look really nice with this too, (as it's a tad more 70's than the next ones)




















Jumper - Cow - £2
Again, usually wear this with jeans and espadrilles, but you could wear it with high waisted shorts or some levi shorts, that would look really nice, and with levi shorts. And the espadrils.

Unedited, boo :(
Jumper - Cow - £3






Because it's me, my picture editing software broke on me. So the previous few pictures wont be edited. But anywho.
Jumper - Cow - £2
I usually wear this with jeans (sometimes rolled up) with the new black heels but usually the espadrilles.

I am the walrus.


Playsuit - Boohoo £15
Denim Shirt - Primark £10
Ring - Primark £2

I got inspiration of this outfit from Eliza Doolittle. She is one of my top fashion inspirations. She wore something similar to this on her 'Skinny Genes' video. She said that the best part of her body for her is her legs. That's why you will always see her wearing her little shorts and Nike high tops. But for my inspiration, she wore a playsuit and a denim shirt. She also wore Nike high-tops, I don't have any, but I am searching everywhere for some decent priced ones. The only high-tops I have are black converse. Which I still love.
I would love to be a model, naturally, I have a very 'bored' face, I always look down and grumpy, but hey! I would love to get into photography too, I'm taking art GCSE next year and I really hope that I can do some photography with that. I love it. I don't have any particular equipment, but it's so fun.
I have about £30 at the moment, which is a lot for me! And I am going vintage shopping this weekend, so I am sure there will be a haul of clothes. I will post the pictures of me wearing the clothes or items on here, that's what its for! :)
Till next time my lovelys, and thank you for stopping!
