Top 5 Lip Products

Hi everyone!
I thought I'd post my Top 5 lip products! These are items that I wear regularly and what I would recommend to anyone.


Rimmel Lipstick in Latino 500

I love the colour of this, it's so fun and I think it's the perfect colour for every day wear. I usually wear this if I feel like a bit of colour on my lips but don't want say, a bright red. 
The lipstick itself is soft and creamy, and gives just the right amount of product when applied.


Bourjois 3D Effet in 29
I especially love having this on my lips! It makes them look so shiny and I love the colour. The texture feel almost gritty, but not - I can't explain it but it's not unpleasant.
I know that Bourjois have lots of other colours in this range, and I'd like to purchase a few more and see what they're like!

Lancome Juicy Tubes (I have no idea what this colour is!)
Since I was about 13, I've always wanted a Juicy Tube. Not sure why, but I did. Over the christmas period I treated myself to a Juicy Tube gift set with the 4 best selling colours in.
I have to say that this one is my favourite - the colour is similar to my Bourjois 3D Effet but it's more sticky and glides over the lips nicely.
Although you need to be careful about applying too much of this or else risking getting horrid sticky lips, it is a beautiful colour and gives you lots of shine.

Barry M Lip Lacquer Crayon in No.4
This is a new product in my makeup bag, and I LOVE it.
The colour is beautiful, and I like to wear it with a plain eye to give my face that dash of colour.
These pencils are filled with glitter although you can't feel it on your lips - you'd expect it to feel gritty and nasty. This I will most definitely be repurchasing when I've run out.

Vaseline in Rosy Lips
Who doesn't love Vaseline? I especially love this one because not only does it condition my lips it adds a pretty colour too. Just enough too.
I love applying this throughout the year, because it helps with chapped lips over winter and has a SPF factor for the summer months too!
I can't imagine being without a Vaseline in it's many varieties in my bag!

Rimmel, Barry M, Bourjois, Lancome, Vaseline

A Casual Look -How To Change It For A Night Out

Hi everyone :)


Today I thought I'd create a casual look for you all, and then show how you can change it up for the night if you are in a rush or have no time to go home and change your makeup.


Okay, let's go!


First start off by priming your eyes, I'm using Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden. I'm a MAC 217 applying Urban Decay Sidecar all over my lid. I'm now taking my Spoilt Rotten Eye Smudger Brush and applying Urban Decay Virgin in the inner corner and under the brow. 
You then want to apply eyeliner to your top lid and to your waterline, I'm using Rimmel Glam Eyes Liquid Liner in 001 Black Glamour on the top lid and Rimmel Exaggerate Eye Definer in 261 Noir in the waterline and then add your mascara - I'm using Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara in Jet Black. 

Apply your foundation, I'm using Chanel Vitalumiere in 10 Limpide, concealer and powder.


For the night time:


Keeping with exactly everything you have applied previously, you just need to add now!
Start off by adding Urban Decay Darkhorse to the outer corners to give your eyes some depth, and blend that up towards the eyebrow and also in the crease. Apply more Sidecar and blend that into the crease too. Reapply Virgin to the innercorner and under the eyebrow and also take it onto the bottom lid. Reapply your eyeliner on the top lid and in the waterline and add more mascara. 
Apply NARS Orgasm blusher. I'm now adding Wet N Wild Lipstick in E81510 with Barry M Lipgloss in 5.
And there you go. A Day-To-Night look.

Use whatever products you like or have. I'm a firm believer that you shouldn't run out and buy something just because someone tells you to. I'm pretty sure you'll have something similar to the colour already in your makeup stash, and if you don't, then by all means go and get it!


I also think this would look great with maybe a brighter eye and a neutral lip, but anything would look great!
Have fun, and I hope you enjoyed this!

Blue Winged Tutorial

Hi everyone :)
Another tutorial!
This time I decided to go with a blue and silver look. 


Okay, let's go!
I started by priming my lids (I'm using Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden) and blended all over with my finger. I then applied NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk on my lids, inner corner and under my eyebrow, this part doesn't have to be too neat so don't worry. Again I'm blending out with my finger.  
I'm now taking my Urban Decay 24/7 eye pencil in Binge, and drawing myself an winged shape from my inner corner, a little above my crease and then down onto my bottom lash.

Again no way does this need to be neat, we're just making our shape at the moment. I'm now using the same pencil, colour in that shape we just created. You should have something that looks like this below (and yes, it more than likely will look messy and awful, don't fret! This is just a base)


I'm now taking an eyeshadow brush, and going for the silver colour, applying this all over the blue winged we have just created, patting it on rather than brushing to get more coverage.


I'm then taking a small angled brush, and picking up a dark blue, go over the top of the winged eye, blending out the edges as you go. 
The best way to do this is to apply the eyeshadow and then push up slightly with the brush. Now taking a fluffy eyeshadow brush and blend blend blend.


I'm now taking a the other side of the eyeshadow brush, and using a white or a creamy coloured shadow, apply this under the eyebrows as a highlight.
Moving onto the bottom lid, I'm taking the Urban Decay Pencil in Binge and apply this into my waterline and also on my lashes. Take the angled brush and use the same blue eyeshadow to cover, taking it up into the wing again to make a line. Take the same white/cream highlight colour and apply this directly under the line aswell.


Apply some black eyeliner on the lid, and also some mascara, and false eyelashes if you wish (I really need to get myself some quick!)


Apply your foundation, and concealer under the eyes and anywhere else. I'm powdering my face with MAC Studio Fix on my t-zone, nose, and chin.
For blush I'm using Urban Decay cream blush in Fetish. 


On the lips I'm going to use Rimmel Lipstick in 200 Latino and a Lancome Juicy tube in Fraise (I think!)


Tadahh, the finished look:




I really hope you enjoyed this tutorial!
