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!
