Eyeshadow Experimenting!

Hi everyone!
 So yesterday evening I suddenly got the urge to brush up on my eyeshadow skills. I only recently started using it, so I'm not brilliant, but I really enjoyed trying some new things!

They're both very different looks, perhaps one for the day time and one for the evening? The photo quality isn't so great, which I apologise for!

On the right eye, I started off with a goldy-bronze shimmery colour and brushed it all over my lid. I then packed on a gold shadow close to the inner corner area and blended the two together. In the crease I put a bit of bronzer, just to define the lid a little.

For the left eye, I started off with quote a dark purpley colour all over my eyelid, blending it out a little. I put a lighter purple shimmer (slightly silver) into the inner third of the eyelid, just to brighten it a little. Again, just to add a bit more depth I brushed some black eyeshadow into the outer corner and crease and blended!

The products I used are as follows:
- Right Eye:
Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette Iconic 2 - £4
Rimmel London Scandaleyes Eyeshadow Paint (Shade 005 Golden Bronze) - £4.79
SEVENTEEN Define & Conquer Contour Kit - £5.99
- Left Eye:
Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette Iconic 2 - £4
- Mascara
Rimmel Scandaleyes Volume Flash Mascara - £6.99

I'm just an eyeshadow beginner, so if you have any good recommendations, please let me know!

Review | Seventeen Lip Crayon

Hi everyone!
I'm a complete sucker for a good lip crayon. I find them generally easier to apply than a lipstick, and they're usually pretty moisturising. This one is from Seventeen. I'd never tried any of their products before, so I kind of bought it on impulse. Not good for my diminishing bank balance, although it was a great price!

I love a classic red lip look, and this is a pretty solid choice. It has a very moisturising formula, and there's a hint of glitter in there, which is always a good thing! It isn't an especially bold red colour, slightly coral in fact, but it's quite buildable, so it can create a variety of looks. Dab a tiny bit on for just a hint of colour if you prefer a very natural look, or layer it up to create a powerful, bright red. I think this product would look amazing with a very minimal eye look, maybe a winged eyeliner and a few layers of mascara.

Overall, I think this is a great product. It's a gorgeous colour and I love the formula. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes a shinier red lip. It's also an insane bargain! Nice one Seventeen!

Review | Bourjois So Laque & 2True Nail Care

I don't know if anyone knows, but I am a HUGE nail polish enthusiast. I absolutely love them. I've only recently discovered this, so I have a rather minuscule collection. However, I do have a favourite.

 These two are a killer combination. 2True Base coat and Ridgefiller underneath, and then Bourjois So Laque over the top. Beautiful.

 I always make sure to use a base coat, as this evens out the surface of the nail and improves the wear of the polish. If you're using this particular one, make sure to allow it to dry completely before applying nail polish because if its still a bit wet, you'll have a big mess all over your nails! (trust me, this happened the other day)
  2True Nail Care: Base coat & Ridgefiller - £2.29
 Bourjois So Laque is brilliant. It's pretty fast drying and has quite a high shine on it. One the bottle it says it can last up to 7 days, but I find it usually lasts around 10-12, which is a bonus! The one I have is a gorgeous nudey-pink colour that pretty much goes with everything. Thumbs up from me! Its quite pricey, but definitely worth it!
