Transformation Tuesday : A Quick Easy Green & Golden Summer Look ! (Eyes & Nails!)

Hey Guy's!
Hope your all okay?
For today's tuesday transformation I thought I would share a super simple summer look with you - including a make up look AND nails!
 
 
 
 
For this very simple but very pretty summer eye look I used my new Garden Of Eden Pallette by Sleek,which is so pigmented and gorgeous!

 
I started by applying Adams Apple,The Lightest Green across the entire lid for the base.
 
 
Since this is a super simple eye I took a tiny bit of Fig,Which has a golden hue to it over the top of the previous base. And very gently applied a tiny bit of Fauna - a darker metallic green into the outer V to create abit more definition.
 
 
I then took the darkest matte green in the palette and lined the top lash line to just finish of the look.
 
 

I then applied my Rimmel Lash Accelerator mascara onto my curled lashes!
And that was the eyes!
If you wanted to make this a more dramatic eye look you could add some more of fauna into the crease to darken the eyes and I would also suggest Collections Glam Crystals in Funk if you like glitter too!
 
 
 
 
 
On the lips I applied Loreal Glam Shine Stain Splash in Eve (I thought it was aptly named with the pallette I was using hehe).
 

 
On the nails I used Barry M Aquariam Collection's Nail Paints.
 Arabian - A Duochrome Green/Blue
 Mermaid - A Chunky Glitter in Blue,Green and Cold

 
So That is my Simple Green & Golden Summer Look!
Hope you all like!
 
Stay Safe & Speak Soon.

L'Oréal Glam Shine Stain Splash REVIEW

 
Hey Guys!
Hope your all okay?
Today while doing a quick shop I found this little beauty and just had to share it with you all as soon as I got home!
 
 
 
 
 I spotted this L'Oréal Glam Shine Stain Splash in Shade 400 Eve which is a Beautiful purple shade.
After reading about these before and being a dupe of ysl's glossy stains I just had to give this a try.
I was intrigued by the fact it is a stain but has the finish of a gloss
 
These are £7.99 each,but as we scanned this one it was only £2 !
Bargain which I will be going back to stock up on as I have fell in love with it.
 
 
 
The product itself is packaged in this expensive looking gold packaging with a clear part to show you the shade of the lip gloss.
The applicator is a tear drop shape and I was curious to see how this worked applying the product onto the lips (It did perfectly.)
 

 
This shade is so perfect,it is a berry purple I would say.
This is with around 3 layers of the product on to give this opaqueness but as you can see it isn't lacking lusture at all!
 
I love the finish apart from the filmy kind of texture it leaves on the lips but for the lasting power I can easily tolerate that.
I applied this and ate and drank and it was still perfect for up to 2 hours (and that was only because I removed my makeup!)
 
I also loved that when you remove this product it doesn't leave the stain on the lip,in the past it has put me of stains as they leave a ungodly colour to your lips once all your makeups off - but this product is totally different.

 
I played around with eve and put it over Collections Little Mix Lipstick in Perrie,and I think it creates a beautiful pairing.
I think this way you get the long lasting advantage with a much more opaque colour which is fab for a night out!
 
I really want to try some more of these now as I have well and truely fall in love with Eve!

MUA Undress Your Skin Highlighter

Hey Guys!
Hope your all okay?
I decided to review MUA's Undress your skin highlighter.
I have heard nothing but rave reviews about so i thought for £3 I'd give it a shot.
 
 
From the images I'd seen online for some reason I thought that this was a small compact but it actually has 7.5g of Product in great for the price of it!

 
This higlighter is fab !
It gives a beautiful glow to wherever you need it,perfect for the brow bone,down the bridge of your nose and on the tops of your cheeks.
It has great pigmentation for such a cheap product.
 
 
(Few Swipes)
 
I do prefer to apply it with my fingers then with a brush as it seems to appear more pigmented on the face that way,then you can blend it out with a brush.
 
I do prefer my sleek contour pallette and the highlight in that BUT I think this is fab for highlight the brow bone and also great for people starting of with makeup and there collection due to the low price!
 
I'm hoping I start to like this the more I use it as everyone else seems to love it!

Glam Crystals Gel Liner REVIEW

 
Hey Guys!
Hope your all okay?
Last october I was searching for some glitter for halloween when I fall upon Collection's Glam Crystals.
 
 
Glam crystals are a gel glitter liner and are very pigmented and versatile!
I use them in  two different ways,so I thought I would share these £2.99 Beauties with you all!

 
Top to Bottom :
 
Le Freak
Turquoise Liner with small Green and Blue glitter.
 

Dancing Queen
Red Liner with Pink and Iridescent Glitters.
 
 
Little Mix Range - Perrie (Rock Chick)
Black Liner with Chunky Black Matte Peices and Small Silver Glitter
 
 
Hustle
Silver Liner with Green,Purple and Blue Irridescent Glitters.
 
 
Little Mix LeighAnne (Funk)
Gold Liner with small Gold Glitter.
 
 
 The two way's I like to use these liners is to either simply line the top lash line/water line with them to make my eyes pop.
 
Or I like to put it on my ring finger and dab it across the whole lid,you can do this over your finished eye makeup for some glitz or can also let it dry and keep building it up for a thicker layer of glitter!
 
 
 
I layered up Dancing queen over a black smokey eye here at Haloween!

 
Here I dabbed some Le freak over my finished Ariel look for a perfect Mermaid Look!

 
Here I applied Dancing queen a long the top lash line the lightly dabbed it into the outer corner to finish of this special occasion smokey eye.

 
And Here I simply lined the inner top lash line!
 
I honestly can't recommend Glam Crystals enough,and for £2.99 there a great dupe for Urban Decays Heavy Metal Glitters - I am defiantly after the purple and the rest of this collection!
 
Stay Safe & Speak Soon.

Transformation Tuesday : Daisy Duck.

 
Hey Guys!
Hope your all okay?
So It has been ages since I have done a Tuesday Transformation!
But I'm finaly back with Daisy Duck.
 
 
Daisy Duck is known for being super sassy!
I have always loved her and when I got a top with her face expressions on from primark it seemed like the perfect transformation tuesday.
 
 
(had to wear a daisy duck lilac jumper too ha ha)
 
Daisy has a very simple purple shade across the whole lid so it makes it a fab spring look for those of you who dont often wear eye shadow,but I did use three shades in this look just for abit mroe depth!
 
 
I used my Loreal Color Infalliablle's in Innocent Turquois,Sassy Marshmallow and Naughty Strawberry.
 
 
I started by lightly applying Naughty Strawberry across the lid with my ring finger very lightly as base.
 
 
Then I applied Sassy Marshmallow into the outer part of the eye and blended the two together lightly with a blending blush.
 
 
Then with the same blending blush I took Naughty Strawberry again and applied it to the outer V and blended it out and down towards the tear duct.
 
 
Then I just took a light lilac shadow I had and blended this into the outer V over the previous colour to add that purple look daisy has,and also took this under the eye.
I applied liquid liner to the upper lid but stopped it at the outer part of my eye as daisy has very simple eyes but long lashes,so all you want to do is make the ellusion of thicker lashes.
I applied white & purple liner to the bottom waterline.
 
 
Then I curled my lashes and applied Rimmels Lash Accelerator mascara (fab stuff!) and applied a little bit of Collections Clam crystals in Hustle on the inner top lash line to add a more wide eye look!
 
 
And there it is!
Daisy Duck.
Just pair this with a nude lip and you've got a quick and easy spring look.

My Go To Spring/Summer Hair !

Hi Guys!
Hope your all okay?
 
I have had quite a few compliments on my hair recently (with my awful roots and all !)
Some of you may know I used to have cropped hair so for the last year I have been trying to grow it out,so having gone through part of the awkward growing out period - also with the help of keratin extensions,I have learnt along the way different ways to keep your hair looking cute !
 
The summer is usually full of girls wearing there hair in boho styles with loose waves and floral crowns and I always feel left out with my short hair,but recently I found two hair styles that hopefully will take me through the summer without any jealousy (athough extensions have already been spoke about Oops.)
 
 
 
Boho Up Do.
 
Leaving part of my fringe out I took the rest of my fringe and plaited it back into the rest of my hair and secured it at the back with bobby pins and did the same on the other side.
Then I curl any hair left out into cute little curls.
This is a super quick style BUT looks adorable!
(Also looks fab with flower clips)


 
Curly Half Up,Half Down Hair.
 
I like to do this with day old hair as it holds the curl a lot better.
I do a similar process as the first but i pull two strands of hair from each side and plait it round and secure it at the back.
I then just curl all my hair and then comb through with my fingers to make it look a bit more relaxed.
For the summer I could imagine sucuring this with daisy hair clips would be really cute!
 
So for all you girls with short hair ?
Don't be getting hair envy this summer!
 
I am also curious if anyone would like to see how keratin hair extensions helped me grow my hair out from a cropped cut?

Eco Tools Eye Enhancing Duo Brush REVIEW.

Hey Guys !
Hope your all well?
So not too long ago I was on the search for a fluffy blending brush,and after a few recomendations I took a trip into boots.
 
I was looking on the makeup tools aisle,and I honestly couldnt find any brushes that caught my eye,then I saw these Eco Tools Brushes.
I have looked at eco tools brushes before but put them straight back down,but this time I loved the look of the Eye Enhancing Duo Brush set.
 

 
The set comes with two brushes which are dual ended.
The ends have brushes to define,blend,shade & smudge.
They are really soft and really easy to work with!
Defiantly on the same level as my Real Techniques brushes.
 
Although I set out just for a blending brush having used these for around a week now I don't know how I have gone so far without using these before!
They do a great job and completeing a eye look - eyebrows and all!
 
At £6.99 I defiantly think these are great for traveling or people just starting up a makeup collection.
 
Have you tried any of eco tools products?
Any recomendations?
