Youtube

I've recently arrived home from the most amazing time of my life, travelling some incredibly beautiful countries and I thought it was time to give something new a try.
 
I have been watching Youtube videos for years now, and always wanted to give them a go myself, so that's what I have done.
 
My first video is now live, so I'd love it if you'd check it out.
 

Thankyou!

YouBeauty - Advent Calender

 
A few days before December arrived, this beautiful thing appeared on my door step. 
 
 Being the excited, impatient person I am, I found it difficult waiting each day to open just one door. So by the 6th day, this had happened...
 
 


I know it's a bit late to review this product, as the start of December was a while ago now, and many people would have probably wanted it ready for the countdown. However, I really love it, so I wanted to write about it! (no harm in that, ay!)
 
Although I was hoping for some of the products to be a bit bigger (a few of them are just samples) A good amount of them are really decently sized, and you obviously get your moneys worth. It can still be purchased online here, for just £49.95, which is a great price seeing as the products are worth over £240!

I had previously looked at buying different beauty style advent calendars, but ended up deciding on this one, purely because it has a wider range of products. (Mostly skincare, but also make-up, and bath and shower products).

My favourite products include the Stila Lip glaze, the Himalayan Detox Salts, the Steamcream moisturiser and Dr. Lipp.

I would love to know peoples opinions on other advent calenders!

Thank You for reading!

Halloween Make-Up Ideas

With Halloween just around the corner, I thought it was a good time to share some easy to do Halloween make up ideas, using basic products!
 
 
 For this classic skeleton look, you need black eyeliner, black eye shadow, mascara and a bit of white eyeliner for the teeth. This is perfect if you love contouring! I contoured my cheek bones, nose, and all around my face using black eye shadow.

 
 
 This one is a bit simpler. All you need is a black eyeliner, and your favourite mascara and lipstick! You could go all out and go for a dark lip too! I wanted to keep it more neutral on the lips, so more attention is drawn to the eyes, therefore opting for a light pink colour.
 
 
Creepy doll - For this you need to make your eyes look as big as possible! (without covering up the rest of your face.) White eyeliner can help to create this illusion. Then you just need to use a lot of pink blush, for the cheeks, and using a black eyeliner, create the scar type things.. Conceal your lips, and using a bold lipstick create a lip shape smaller than yours!
 
 
 
 The not so scary cat look - probably the easiest and quickest look out of them all! Just create your favourite Smokey eye, put on your 'go to' lipstick, then add a cat's nose using a black eyeliner and a pink lipstick or eye shadow for the middle. simple!
 
I hope you enjoyed this post, and that it gave you some ideas for easy make-up looks, that make it look as though you made an effort, (without really making much effort!)
 
I would love to know what you are going as for Halloween! Let me know in the comments.

Red Lip Evening Make-up

 
 One of my favourite things to do is to try out different make up looks. This time I wanted to go quite heavy on the eyes, along with a red lip. I love a bold red lip but haven't quite got the confidence to wear it on an everyday basis, so I thought this would be a nice Evening look.

MUA undressed palette - (Shade 9 over lid, Shade 10 through crease, Shade 1 inner corner)

MUA undressed eyeshadow palette review

If you're looking for a new eyeshadow palette to add to your make-up collection, I would seriously recommend you try out MUA's undressed Palette. As many people may know, this palette is a dupe for Urban Decay's naked palette, and a good one at that.

Not only is it milessss cheaper (MUA's being £4 and Urban decay's being around £36!) the quality is also pretty great! The majority of the colours in this palette are highly pigmented, much like urban decay's, and I also found them to last all day, even without a primer!




 
I tried out some different looks using this Palette ( I wanted to go for subtle daytime looks, as this is what Iwear most often) and i found the overall quality to be very high.
The only downside of this product is the packaging (It's a bit more boring than Urban decay's) but considering the very low price, you can't really complain!
If like me you were saving up for a new naked palette, or even you're first naked palette, I would definitely consider purchasing this palette instead, and saving the rest of your money for other beauty goodies!
