Funky Pink and Purple Eye Makeup Tutorial

Hii :)
I decided to post up a tutorial for a look I was thinking of doing using my new products from the Glossybox I got today. Read my review of it here.


These are the products I used:

But you can use anything you fancy, or atleast have had hand.

Okay, so let's get started!
You want to start off by priming your lid, I'm using Urban Decay Primer Potion (that I got with my NAKED palette), but you use whatever you like best. I placed a little of this on each lid, and blend with my ring finger. 
I then took my NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk, placing it all over the lid as my shadow base. 
I also put it under my eyebrows and also in my tearduct, to brighten up my eyes, again blending with my ring finger.

Taking an eyeshadow brush (I used one from Avon), I picked up the pink eyeshadow from the Blink+Go palette and placed it in the middle of my lids. 

Using the other side of the brush, I picked up the purple eyshadow from the palette and appled to the outer corners of my eye, blending into the crease. I took an angled brush, using the purple eyeshadow making myself a flick from the top of the crease down on the bottom lash.

With the angled brush, I took the pink and place that on the bottom lash, directly under the pink on the top lash. 

I then took a clean eyeshadow brush (Again another of the same from Avon) and picked up the white/silver colour in the palette, applying this to the inner corner of my eye, making sure to cover the empty top lid, where the tearduct is and the bottom lash. 

I then used a black eyeshadow (from my beautyUK palette) with an angled brush (but you can use your favourite black liquid liner or gel liner) and lined my top lashes. I used a black eyeliner to line my waterline. 

Add a ton of your favourite black mascara (I used Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara) or even add some big false lashes (I don't have any at the mo, boo!) to finish off the eyes. You could also go ahead and fill in your eyebrows too if you would like.

Apply your foundation (I used Bourjois healthy mix serum), conceal under your eyes (I just use a benefit foundation stick because I like the coverage and apply it with my ring fingers) and on any other blemishes that need a cover (I usually conceal on the top of my nose and on my nostrils, plus on any red patches and cheeky spots)


Apply a nice light pink blush to the cheeks (I'm using the light pink from my Blink+Go Palette)


Apply some lipgloss (I'm using Cargo Lipgloss in Paris, from my glossybox), I think a pinky colour would be perfect with this look.

Use a bit of powder to stop any shine and to seal in your foundation (I used MAC Studio Fix)


And tadahh, here is the finish look:

I really hope you enjoyed this, and I'm hoping to make a lot more of these in the near future!

GlossyBox Review

Hii :)
Today I was so excited. I received my first ever GlossyBox squeee. 
I'd been going on and on about them because I'd heard so many good reviews about them, and there is so much hype surrounding the whole beauty boxes at the moment, I just HAD to try it myself. So Sophie decided to buy me a subscription for my birthday, I was SO happy!

My first impression of the box is that it comes packaged lovely. It arrived in a cardboard box, which had Glossybox adverts on it. It comes as a box in a box, which I like. I was delighted to see that I had recieved the limited edition christmas box, with the beautiful red "glossy" box (lives up to it's name) opening it up, there were 2 leaflets about from the company, and the products inside were wrapped up in a piece of tissue paper, with a sticker with the company logo on. It had a little black ribbon bowed around this. It looked so beautiful and elegant, and I was excited to see what was underneath!!

In the box, I got:
Blink+Go Eyeshadow and Blush Palette
Cargo Cosmetics Classic Lip Gloss in Paris
Deborah Lippman Nail Varnish in Razzle Dazzle with a Stripped to Go sachet
Nip+Fab Spot Fix
Rituals Foaming Shower Gel in Hammam Delight: Eucalyptus and Rosemary

Blink+Go Eyeshadows

Blink+Go Blushes

Blink+Go Eyeshadow Swatches

I'm actually quite impressed with these products, and they were different than I expected. I'm glad I get to have a try of the shower gel as I'm always interested in new scents. I love how some shower gels made you feel clean and refreshed after a shower, and I'm excited to see if this does just that.


I'm excited to try out the eyeshadow palette, the colours looks so pretty together, and I'm sure you can get yourself a good few looks from it. 


Overall, I'm really happy with my first experience of Glossybox and I hope to carry on my subscription, but being a poor student, money is often tight but I'm sure I'll be able to find myself a £10 from somewhere!
