Bronzed face and eyes summer look

Sure summer is starting to come to an end but there is still time to pull out a gorgeous bronzed look! 

Firstly you need your base. I firstly applied a Benefit foundation stick (the purple one) to the areas I want highlight (catch the light) under my foundation, as we're going to be using a bronzer with this look. 

Secondly, I used Rimmel Match perfection foundation in the lightest colour because I am so pale! We add colour after.

Then conceal any areas you wish (even highlight) with concealer. I used the small MAC one in NW15.

Next I contoured with Sleek Face Form Palette in Light. This adds the bronzed look to your entire face. Start at your cheek bones and go right around to your temples to slim down the outer parts of your face. Also, putting bronzer on your under chin can minimise a double chin. 

Then I added some shimmer using my beloved MAC mineralise skin finish in Soft and Gentle.This completes your bronzed goddess face base!

--------------------------

Next! Eyes - (or you can do this earlier, what ever takes your fancy) 

I use this palette from H&M but any brown shadows will do. 

Apply a light brown all over your lid.

Next, on your crease and the outer parts of your eye lid simply add a darker brown (but not too dark) and blend it into the previous colour. You should be able to tell a small difference in the colour.

Then, add a small amount of really dark brown (you could even use a black) to your crease and blend that in. This will exaggerate the smokey eye and really add bronzed impact.

Then you can add pigment or a white shadow to under your brow bone to lighten up your look. Applying some brown shadow to the bottom of your eyes will really pull the look together so remember to do that! You can also add some eyeliner to add more impact.

Barry M Gelly in Blue Grape review

Okay, I'm going to confess. I own over 15 blue nail varnishes. I mean, blue is just my favourite colour ever. I picked up Blue Grape from the Gelly collection my Barry M a while ago and I've only just realised how bloody gorgeous it is!

Swatch on MY nails ^

This is my new favourite nail varnish. It has such a high gloss finish. I only applied one coat too and it was super bright and pigmented. I am absolutely in love!

I totally recommend this product to people who love bright colours, I know for sure I will wear it all year round never mind just in the summer. Have any of you guys tried this?

M.A.C Mineralise Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle

After hearing this being raved about on Youtube, blogs and Instagram I thought I would try this wonderful product. I've had it for a while now (3/4 months or so) and yes, it definitely is AMAZING. The price is £22.00, yes quite alot if you're not used to splurging on high end, expensive make up.But to me, this is a reasonable price for a wonder highlighter/bronzer what will probably last me at last 3 years! So far I've not seen it go down even a small bit and I use it more or less every day give or take a few days. 

Mac offer a range or 'colours' in the skin-finishes and Soft and Gentle is the most popular one and I can totally see why! I'm really pale (NW10 in mac and Porcelain in everything else) And this still really suits my skin tone. But it would also look gorgeous with a tan. 

It can be used anywhere on the body but I add some to the heights of my cheek bones and my nose to give a thinning effect. Its such a perfect highlighter and works really really well too. Its SO pigmented which I love. 

Its colour is a beautiful peachy bronze.

This is a MUST HAVE ITEM in my books and I recommend it to no end! 

Mini LUSH haul

On my recent trip to Lincoln (My favourite city ever!)I bought just a few things from LUSH (My favourite shop ever!) I am one massive LUSH addict and this isn't really alot for me to get whilst there! 

1) The Comforter (£4.25)

2) Think Pink (£2.50)

3) Blackberry Bath Bomb (£2.95)

The big pink one at the top is a bubble bar called 'The Comforter' and its my LUSH holy grail product! If any of you have ever tried the Bubblegum lip scrub or the special limited edition Snow Fairy shower gel at christmas you will recognise the ace smell. Also similar to the egg bath bombs at easter!

The second smaller item is the Think Pink bath bomb and probably my favourite bath bomb from LUSH. It has a smaller price of £2.50 and admit-tingly is smaller than some bombs but lets out just as much colour and amazing smells. It makes your bath a lovely mixture between pale and bright pink (if that makes sense) just a basic pink colour. But again, it smells fantastic. This product is something I will always come back too.

And finally the last is the Blackberry Bath Bomb and this is £2.95. Slightly bigger than Think Pink but smaller than the £3.20 bombs. This turns your bath into an amazing purple colour and has a surprise in the middle. 


If you have never visited LUSH before because you're bamboozled when walking in, just try something! Its much simpler to get a grasp on what items do what once you've used a LUSH product before and they are certainly worth the money. Plus they are 'home-made' and against animal cruelty. 

I was lucky enough to be able to grab some of the make up from Rihanna's full collection from MAC. Alot of things sold out super quick even when I went to look, half an hour into being up! This collection is so popular its actually unreal. I'm not a massive fan of Rihanna but this collection is just perfection <3

I didn't pick up too much, only two items.
RiRi Boy lipstick and the Hibicius Kiss Blush/Bronzer Duo.
The lipstick was the same price as the normal MAC ones which is good (£14 when I ordered) and the Duo was £20.00 which I think is really good! 

I love how they have RiRi imprinted onto the actual product. They're both so gorgeous. RiRi Boy is more or less Up The Amp but Matte. I was so excited when they came through the post!

I recommend any thing from this collection when it comes back in stock again and I for one will keep an eye out for Heaux!
