Today is our 6 month blogiversary! How convenient that we got heart chocolate sprinkles in Costa?! We'd like to thank all of you who take the time to read our content each week and we would like you to know how much each and every one of you means to us!
We did a little bit of a mini treat haul today as we had a day off of school and thought... why not? We're gonna list the things we bought with links to where you can find them and I'm sure you'll see the products re-appearing in reviews in the future.
- Scünci Silicone Elastics (20 pack)
- Maybelline Master Smoky Shadow Pencil - Navy
- Rimmel Exaggerate Eyeshadow Primer
- Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream
- Maxfactor Excess Intensity Longwear Eyeliner - Brown
- Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Gel Liner - 002 Brown
- Boots Botanics 82% Organic Softening Cleanser
- Maxfactor Creme Puff Blush - Gorgeous Berries
We also went to the Clinique counter in John Lewis and picked up a tester of the Beyond Perfecting 2-in-1 Foundation and Concealer in the shade 02 Alabaster. We had a sample of this with the ELLE magazine but it was the wrong shade so we thought we've give a better shade a go and we're very excited to give this ago tomorrow! Let us know if you'd like to know our thoughts on this.
Combinations
Maybelline Colour Tattoos in On & On Bronze and Pink Gold and Naked 3 palette With either of these 2 beautiful cream eyeshadows acting as your base, any of the colours in the Naked 3 palette work very well to create a pink-y smokey eye or a subtle daytime look. We recommend: Pink Gold with Nooner in the crease |
Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Creamy Beige, Avon palette, MUA matte palette and Bourjois Smokey Stories Quad in Good Nude This leather effect cream eyeshadow is an amazing 'my lids but better' shade and works perfectly with any shades from these palettes in the crease, creating a beautiful daytime smokey eye. We recommend: Creamy Beige with the medium Bourjois shade or with Penny (bottom left) of MUA |
Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Vintage Plum and Collection Work the Colour eye palette in purple Vintage Plum is the perfect cream eyeshadow for when you want to add a bit of colour to your look. It goes perfectly with the shades from the Collection to make either a purple smokey eye or just to add some definition. We recommend: Vintage Plum with the number '3' shades in the Collection palette. |
Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick in 02 Beige Trench, Accessorize lip glosses, MUA Sheer Finish lipgloss, Rimmel Stay Glossy in captivate me, No7 High Shine lipgloss in glaze, Maybelline Colour Elixir in caramel infused, No7 lip crayon and Maybelline Colour Sensational lipgloss in 630 coffee kiss We've found this Bourjois lipstick to be a little too light alone - having pale skin it seems to wash us out - but it was free with a gift set so we didn't want to waste it. The glosses listed above are what we pair it with to make it a much more wearable shade. |
French Connection Lipgloss and Natural Collection Lip Lines Pencil in Ruby Rose I love this French Connection lipgloss (I got it as part of a set of four for Christmas) but found it to wear off after a few hours. I also love this Natural Collection lipliner by itself. We recommend: fill your lips in completely with the lipliner and then put the lipgloss over the top. They are almost a perfect colour match. |
We hope you find these combinations useful for future makeup looks. If you have any other recommendations that you think we've missed let us know in the comments below. We love hearing new suggestions!
