I'M BACK!

Hey everyone! I'M BACK! With a brand new video on my brand new YouTube channel! I hope you all enjoy it as I've been wanting to start a channel for a while now, but I've just never had the courage to do it. Ironically the weather is pouring down today but when I filmed this two days ago it was bright sunshine! Please go and have a watch and subscribe for more videos to come! If you would like to post in the comments of anything you would like to see on my channel or even on here it would be much appreciated.

My Valentine's Makeup

Whether you were celebrating Valentine's Day or not, I thought I'd show you a makeup look I wore for valentines, that works for a bit of everything. It's very soft and simple, and if you wanted to make it more dramatic it could easily be adjusted. For my base I used Charlotte Tilbury Wonder Glow with L'oreal True Match Foundation and for concealer I used the Bobbi Brown corrector in Bisque with Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer on top to brighten up the under eye. For my makeup to last I used Rimmel's Stay Matte to powder, I used Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow to contour and highlight and NARS Orgasm to add a bit of colour to my cheeks. To define and set my brows I used the Soap & Glory Archery in Hot Chocolate and L'oreal Clear Brow Plumper. On the lids I wanted a soft smokey eye, I chose the Urban Decay Naked 3, with Limit in the inner corner and Factory on the outer corner. I lined my eyes with Urban Decay Perversion, then for mascara I used L'oreal Flutter and Clinique Bottom Lash. For the lips I lined my lips with Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat in Pillowtalk, with MAC Patisserie and Tanya Burr Lipgloss in Picnic in the Park on top.
I'm really pleased with how this makeup look turned out, a look I'll definitely recreate again.

Charlotte Tilbury : Filmstar Bronze & Glow

It's designed so you can slim, sculpt, shorten, trim and highlight your features. It's amazing what some shading and highlighting tricks can do to your face. The highlight is the most beautiful highlighter I've used and have seen in a very long time, and it looks stunning on the face. It's so easy to use as it's golden but subtle, just a very natural highlight. The bronze colour is the perfect sculpting shade for many skin tones, which gives a bronzy sun kissed look to the skin. Already this palette is a staple in my collection, Plus the packaging just makes it extra special.

Urban Decay : Eye Pencils

Mugshot // Vacancy // Stargazer // Voodoo // Moonspoon // Perversion // Glitter Rock // Smokeout // Black Velvet // Gonzo // Faint

Urban Decay is known for it's amazing eye pencils, and recently this little liner set came into my makeup collection, which includes 10 creamy, waterproof glide-on eye pencils, including the blackest-than-black shade, Perversion. I've also included Black Velvet which I purchased a while ago but thought I would add it in to share my whole eye pencil collection. My most used shades are Smokeout when I don't want such a harsh eyeliner and with a bit of blending mimics it's name, with a smoked out liner. Voodoo is a bright metallic purple, which I love to use to add a bit of colour to the eyes. Of course, Perversion for the intense black eyeliner. The pencil's are so long-lasting and perfect for any eye look.

The January Love.

To start off the new year I wanted to share my favourite blogs that I'm currently loving. I think it's nice to share the love around the blogging community. It's hard to put these blogs into categories as the blogs themselves aren't just one thing which is what I think makes them so readable. Whether it be beauty, fashion or lifestyle. So get clicking and enjoy.

The Matte Revolution

This is the newest addition to the Charlotte Tilbury line, and I'm sure if you follow a few beauty blog's you would of already seen the latest addition. These lipsticks are the matte revolution. I'm not normally a fan of matte lipsticks as I find them very drying and they don't look good after a few hours on. Out of all the formula's I've tried for matte lipstick's this one has to be my favourite, as it's a velvet formula. The lipstick itself is soft and creamy and not actually too matte, it has this hint of moisture that makes them so easy to apply and comfortable to wear all day. It's not at all drying and the pigmentation is so good. The shade I have on is 'Love Liberty'. The only downside, the price tag. At £23 each they are quite an expensive lipstick but I would say an investment. Next on my list to buy is Glastonberry, which is a described as "a sheer blackcurrant hue for sex kittens and rock n' rollers."

What's your favourite matte lipstick?

The New Year

I don't normally make new year's resolutions but this year I decided to make a few, and one of them is to work on my blog and create the best content I can. I'm going to try and post a few times a week or sometimes once a week, as I do have a full time job which takes up most of my time. So I'm back and looking forward to getting into blogging again, I have many exciting things coming up to share with you, whoever you are. I can't wait for what 2015 will bring.

The Face Mask Trio

I received this Origins face mask set a while ago now and I've been using them ever since. The set includes Drink Up Intensive Mask, Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask and Drink Up 10 Minute Mask. The Intensive mask is an overnight mask to quench the skin's thirst. The Clear Improvement is a charcoal mask to clear pores, this is the best mask for clogged pores. The last mask is the 10 Minute mask helps deliver an extra helping of hydration for any dry and tired skin.

Overall a good set of face masks for any skin types. My favourite mask is the Intensive mask, I use it once a week, after use it makes my skin feel smoother and hydrated.

Would you recommend any face masks?

A Make Up Update..

I just wanted to show my make up from the other day. I decided to go for a warm brown smoked out winged eye, with natural lips and an all over bronze on the skin. On the eyes I used MAC's Texture all over the lid and crease, with Brown Down also in the crease and along the top and bottom lash line. I then used Carbon to deepen the crease to make it a little darker. I smudged out Brown Down and Carbon and blended the two colours to create a subtle winged line.  My foundation is NARS Sheer Glow in Santa Fe with NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Custard. For the glow on the skin I used NARS Laguna, which is a natural brown with golden shimmer. On my lips I have Chanel lipgloss in 217 which is a lovely peachy natural gloss.

As payday comes around, it's that time when I'm making a list of what to purchase. This is the beauty edit. It's also that time where many item's in my make up bag are running out. First I'll stock up on my essentials such as foundation and lash primer, but I wanted to try out some new things and these made it onto the edit. A few dark lipsticks ready for autumn, a MAC palette to organise my eyeshadows, an eyeshadow quad and eye pencil from Charlotte Tilbury. Jimmy Choo perfume is one of my all time favourites so I need to re-purchase this, as I'm running low on perfumes.

Lips | Deep Red

This is my favourite lipstick for the colder months as it' the perfect deep red for the lips. In the image below it looks very similar to MAC's Rebel, but in person the colour is a deeper darker red. The lipstick is Rimmel's Kate Moss in 107.

Top iPhone Apps.

I'm pretty much always glued to my phone and it's probably because I have so many good apps.
Polagram is an app that allows you to print photos directly from your phone, you can choose from normal square frames or a polaroid frame. You can also make a phone case, i chose this picture of my dog for my phone case and absolutely adore it.
Instagram is an app I think most people know where you can share photos and videos. I check it daily, as I love being nosey and seeing everyones photo's but also sharing my own.
Twitter, again I'm just so nosey. I like to share my thoughts and ideas on twitter and its great way to share with your friends. Do I have so say more?
Bloglovin. The place to follow all my favourite bloggers and being up to date with blog posts. I enjoy finding new blogs to read and not just fashion and beauty, I've currently been reading home and food posts.

Handbag Essentials.

What's in my bag posts are without doubt my favourite as I'm just very nosey. So when a new addition comes along I thought it's only right to share a peek inside with you.

I usually carry around a bag this size, recently it's been this Celine bag. It's always handy as it fit's my daily life in, it's durable and plus it's my favourite colour. Of course I always have my purse with me, my purse is by Mulberry and it's in this beautiful tan colour, very simple.

I've started to carry a notebook and pen around with me everywhere I go now, mostly for blog ideas and sometimes to doodle. Although it's not in the image above I also carry around my Ray-Ban Aviators. 

I always take my iPhone 5, my earphones, my keys and my diary. My diary always comes in handy, as sometimes I can be a little forgetful, this just helps me organise my life. I won't walk anywhere without putting some music on, currently I'm really into Ariana Grande, Jhené Aiko, Ben Howard and Beyoncé. 

I carry around a few beauty essentials its normally what's on my lips that day, and then rosy lips Vaseline and a Chanel lip gloss in 179.

What do you think of my essentials?
