GRWM: Wedding Party Edition

Hiii, as promised I have the 'Get Ready With Me' from last week! I went to a wedding party and I actually really liked the make up, it was completely different from anything I've ever done so I thought I'd share it with you! 

I've come to the conclusion this week that I'm not quite ready to post selfies on here. I'm not sure why but it's something that scares me quite a lot so I've re-created this look in a way that I'm most comfortable with. By drawing. I've always found myself drawing in different situations and I find it de-stressing...(Is that a word?). Some of you may find this a bit of an odd way of doing this but this is something I do regularly when finding new make up looks and I thought it would be good to share it this way with you! 

ENJOY! 

Let's  get started!

Firstly, I used the No7 Stay Perfect Shine Free Primer. This is by far my favourite primer because it gives such a smooth base for my foundation. It lasts all day and doesn't let my make up slip around during the day. 

Like always, I then used the No7 Beautifully Matte Foundation. It goes on so well on top of the primer and it has the best coverage of foundations I've ever used. 

Moving onto concealer, I used the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. This is by far one of the best concealers I've owned. It works so well for covering spots and even acne scars. It lasts so long and I don't have to worry about it creasing. 

For under eye concealer, I used No7's Matchmade Concealer in Caliclo which is one shade lighter than my skin. I just use this to brighten my under eye area and to cover dark circles which this concealer is very good for! 

For brows, I picked the trustworthy Collection Work The Colour Nude Eye Palette and I used the top right brown for this. It's super easy to use and it's not too heavy and bold. 

Firstly for the eyes I used an eye primer from Avon and set it with 'Foxy' from the Naked 2 Palette. 

I then packed on the colour 'Half Baked' from the Naked 2 Palette and added a bit of definition in the crease using the colour 'Busted' again, from this palette. I also took Busted into a V in the outer corners and created a smokey eye. I made sure to blend both colours, especially Busted, upwards because if I did it downwards, it would make my eyes look dull and that's not a look I want to go for! 

I also took 'Blackout' on a small angled brush and pushed it into my top and bottom lashes and blended lightly to intensify the lash line. Basically using eyeshadow as an eyeliner. I'm not much of an eyeliner person (mainly because I can't do it) but eyeshadow is so much easier to do and personally, I think it completes any eye look.

Where I applied Half Baked, I went over and added the Barry M Dazzle Eye Shadow in Gold. I loved using this because it stood out but it wasn't bold and in your face so it made it a lot easier to wear. 

To finish the eyes, I used the Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde Mascara. I absolutely love this, it's so easy to apply and creates a false lash effect. 

For bronzer I dug out my old favourite and used the Bourjois Délice de Poudre Gold Bronzing Powder just to add a little definition and to add a bit of colour to my face. 

Moving onto lips, I started by using a small angled brush to apply my lipstick to outline my lips slightly to make it slightly easier for me to apply the lipstick. The lipstick I used was the Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture in 64 Fuschia Danger. This is by far my favourite part of the look, I absolutely adore this lipstick!

Feel free to re-create this and let me see! Tag me on Instagram, Twitter or email me, I'd be happy to see them! 

Thanks for reading!

Haul // Liverpool and Chester

Hiii, today I have another hauuuuuul! I've been shopping quite a bit recently and I've bought loads, especially clothes! I haven't put the clothes in this, I might do a completely different post for them so these are the remaining things that I have bought! 

From Topshop I bought this absolutely gorgeous purple matte nail varnish. I have been looking for a matte colour for ages so obviously, I bought this when I saw it. It was £6 as well which is really good! 

I also bought this ring which was from H&M, it was on sale for £1! I quite fancied it as a mid ring so I got a really small size but I think they went up to large so you could wear it however you liked. 

In Liverpool, they have a Kardashian Beauty pop-up shop but because it's closing down very soon, everything was half price! So I got this for £10! I picked up this lip set called 'In The Buff' which includes lip liner, lipstick and a lip gloss. I absolutely love the colour, it's a really natural brown tint and it looks a absolutely stunning! 

I also bought some Apple Earbuds. I got some for Christmas but I think in about March, I dropped the right one in a cup of tea and didn't realise so it was there for a good few hours and the ear bud was absolutely soaking. It is incredibly annoying having only one working headphone so I treated myself to a new pair! 

REAL TECHNIQUES BRUSHES. If you haven't seen the full collection of the Bold Metals Collection, seriously go and have a look, they are the prettiest brushes I have ever seen! They are quite expensive but just look at them! I had a £20 voucher for Boots so I was able to get both of these for £7! I got the 201 Pointed Crease brush which was £12 and the 200 Oval Eyeshadow brush which was £15. The Bold Metals has to be my favourite ever collection of brushes, they are stunning and Real Techniques brushes are so long lasting so you definitely get your moneys worth! 

This is definitely my favourite thing! In Liverpool there is a Beauty Bazaar/Harvey Nichols shop. First things first, the shop is stunning. Basically, it's a big shop full of little shops like MAC, YSL, Chanel, Tom Ford, Jo Malone and so many others! If you're ever in Liverpool, go and take a look around, it's a gorgeous shop! 

Anyway I had a £20 voucher for Christmas so I put £5 to it and I treated myself to a YSL lipstick. I have never felt so posh in my entire life. The lad that worked there put it on me to try and I think I came home about 3/4 hours later and it was still on incredibly well so I'm so glad I bought it. I've been looking for a red for ages and I saw it and it was like 'THAT'S THE ONE!' 

I got the Rouge Pur Couture in 64 Fuchsia Danger. It is a bit pricey (£25) but if you have a voucher, it's a really nice treat! 

P.S even the bag's nice!

How gorgeous is the case?! 

I hope you enjoyed it, let me know if you have any questions!
