Fragrance Direct are awesome for highly discounted beauty products - I'm definitely going to try and shop on there more often and you should too!

TOP 5 FAVOURITE EYE PRODUCTS!

In this post, I am going to share with you my current top 5 favourite eye products. Let's get started!

Sleek's Oh So Special Palette - £6.99:

Firstly, I have my Sleek Oh So Special palette. I love this palette because it contains some really nice, workable shades for every day looks. It has a mixture of matte and shimmery finish shadows and there's a really good matte black in there too. The shadows blend well and there's barely any fallout which I love. It's a great little palette and is definitely worth it's reasonable price!

MUA's Heaven and Earth Palette - £4:

Next off, I have another palette. It's MUA's infamous Heaven and Earth palette. It contains twelve, really pretty, shimmery shadows and they are all gold and brown shades. Most of the shadows are really nicely pigmented and there is little fallout. I love this because of the neutral colours and the diverse shades of each colour that it has. It is so easy to create a day to night look with this palette and it's unbelievably cheap for it's great quality.

Elf' Eyeshadow Duo - £1.50:

The final eye shadow in this favourites post is my ELF eyeshadow duo in the shade Mocha. I love this because it has two key shades for me in most of my everyday eyeshadow looks; a medium brown and a pearly white. Both of these shadows have multiple uses, especially the white and they are so cheap that you really can't go wrong. It's a handy little duo to carry round with you on your travels and the pigmentation you get is very impressive.

L'oreal Telescopic Mascara - £10.99:

Fourth on my list is one of my favourite mascaras of all time: L'oreal Telescopic. I love the brush on this nascara and it lengthens my lashes like no other. My lashes are long but annoyingly straight and this gives them the length and volume I want. It's a little bit of pricier side but it definitely worth it and I would seriously recommend this mascara to anyone!

Real Techniques Eye Brush set - £20.99

Last but certainly not least on my life is my Real Techniques eye brush set. I love this set so much and i use them every single day. Each brush has it's own precise use and they are so, so soft on the eye which is always a definite plus. You can just tell that these brushes are high quality and they have a very reasonable price tag considering you get 5 brushes in the set.

And that's my list! I love all of these products and I have done a review on some of them which you should definitely go have a look at! Thank you for reading and don't hesitate to leave any comments or suggestions down below!

MOTD: Lilac and Pink.

Today I have a makeup of the day post for you all, enjoy!

To begin, I applied moisturiser, foundation and concealer. I also filled in my eyebrows with a mid brown shadow and brushed them through a little bit.

On the eyes I wore this pretty lilac and dark brown eyeshadow look. I used Sleek's Snapshots palette to create this look by applying the lilac onto the inner two thirds of my eyelid and then I took a copper brown colour and applied that into my outer third and into the crease a little bit. I also took the copper colour and lined my water line with it and took a shimmery white shadow to highlight my inner corner and brown bone. I applied my favourite mascara and the look is complete!

Onto the cheeks and contouring, I contoured using my MUA bronzer and then used my 28 colour blush palette from eBay and used a light baby pink shade on the apples of my cheeks. I also highlighted using my Sleek Face Form palette, applying it to my cheek bones and along the length of my nose.

Onto the lips, I applied some lip balm and then dabbed and blended in a little bit of the matte pink shadow from my Snapshots palette. I took a little bit of my Rimmel Vinyl Gloss lip gloss and applied that on top of the lips for a more shimmery look.

To finish the look, I applied a little bit of powder and that was it!

I hope you like this look and if you give it a go yourself, tell me how it went!

Makeup Haul!

Hey lovelies! I have a little haul post for you all today.

So, I have recently started University and I actually picked up some make up from the Freshers Fair there as well as a few bits from Superdrug.

So, lets start with the fair! From there, I was approached by a woman who worked for a cosmetic brand called Oriflame which is Swedish. She handed me a bag full of make up goodies and of course I didn't decline! The first thing I got was this lip balm, it smells delicious and contains almond.

Next, I got this shimmery white jumbo eye pencil.

I got this eye crayon in the shade Desert Brown.

I also got this pretty pink nail polish. It doesn't seem to have a shade name though!

Finally, I got this lip gloss. It is very shimmery and is this lovely orange shade called Nectarine Frost.

So after the fair, I popped into Superdrug. From there I picked up four things. Firstly, I finally got my hands on Maybellines' Baby Lips lip palms. I picked up two in shades Pink Punch and Peach Kiss.

I then got an MUA KissProof lip stain in the shade Fruitilicious.

Finally, I picked up an eyebrow pencil from Rimmel in the shade dark brown.

That's my little haul post, guys! I hope you enjoyed reading this post - thank you for doing so!

Review: MUA Glitter Ball Palette.

Today I have another review for you guys! I recently picked up MUA's Glitter Ball palette from my local Superdrug - I thought it looked so pretty and I love glittery / shimmery eye looks.

The shadows are of course all shimmery and glittery finishes and in total you get 12. As you can see there is a black, some pastel shades and darker more neutral shades too. I like the fact that there is a variation here - it makes for great inspiration on new eye shadow looks!

All of these shadows are nicely pigmented - especially the black although it does have a little bit of fallout along with it. The colours go on smoothly and they blend well, too.

This is a fun palette to play with try new looks with. I would definitely reccomend this palette for those that love shimmery and glittery eye looks. For £4 as well, you can't go wrong!

Thank you for reading this post! Have you tried any of the MUA palettes, what are your favourites?
