HOW TO: PERFECT WINGED EYELINER! (Benefit Push Up Liner)

Hi everyone!

Today I am going to be talking about Benefit's They're Real Push Up Liner!

If I am going to be totally honest, I was a little disappointed with this product, it is an amazing product don't get me wrong, but it was so hyped up I was expecting miracles!

The product is a retractable eyeliner, with a gel like thick formula..
The angled tip is fantastic, it really allows me to create a precise line, and I can then decide to thicken the line up, it's all about your personal preference!

The liner was slightly dry, does anyone else feel the same?
You have to work quickly as it sets quite fast.
It is very pigmented so a little goes a long way!

The liner is available in Debenhams or Boots in Swords for 25.00 euro, which isn't too expensive in my opinion..

HOW I USE IT?
Well to be completely honest I am crap at liner, everyday is different, some days worse than others, so what I like to do is use my Real Techniques silicone liner brush and rub some product on that for my cat flick and for me that works really well, and with this brush being so fine I can do a thin line, sometimes when I use the liner directly I make the line too thick, and it is a nightmare to remove!

You're probably thinking what's the point in doing all of that?
Well, I love the formula of the liner, it is a gel like formula which is really black and lasts all day, and that is what works well for me.
I think with more practise I will get better, hopefully!!

Pros:                                                                    

  • Lasts all day!
  • Lovely packaging.
  • Retractable.
  • Easy to pop into bag!
  • Great formula!
  • Great precision.
Cons:
  • Slightly dry.
  • Nightmare to remove.
  • Very black, some people might not enjoy that..
Other than that I really enjoy this liner! I have been using it for a while now and I am well used to it, and I think once you get used to and practised up on this liner, you'll be a pro in no time and you will be able to create the perfect cat eye!

I use Lancome's Bi-Facil- Oil Free Double Action Eye Makeup remover, which removes even the toughest of waterproof eye products, I love this product to remove my Benefit liner!



Me wearing the liner! (I didn't chop my hair don't worry ;) )

I hope this helped, and remember may the wings of your eyeliner always be even ;)

Until next time,

BRUSHES ON A BUDGET!?

Hi everyone, hope all is well!

Today I am going to be talking about a new current obsession of mine, which is dupe makeup brushes!

To be honest before I got a job, I was never able to treat myself to makeup the way I do now lol..

The brushes I am going to be talking about are from the only and only.. Ebay!
In the 10 piece brush set you get 5 face brushes and 5 eye brushes, and oh my god, they are divine!
The best part, the brush set comes to a total of 9.21 euro, free postage!!

In the set you get, a 'Flat Top Kabuki Brush', an 'Angled Kabuki Brush', a 'Round Top Kabuki', an 'Oval Tapered Kabuki Brush', an ' Angled Flat Top Kabuki' and the Eye Shadow Brushes are shaped the exact same as the face brushes!

I was skeptical at first, when they arrived I didn't waste any time and used them right away, and fell in love!!

Pros:
  • So affordable!
  • Great quality.
  • So soft.
  • Great for presents for friends, family!
  • Minimal hair shedding!
  • Last a long time!
  • Easy to wash.
  • Dense.
  • Dupes for Sigma Cosmetics brushes!
I can't fault these brushes, for the price, the quality of these brushes are unbelievable!

Here is the link my loves.. http://www.ebay.ie/itm/10-Pcs-Professional-Make-up-Brush-Set-foundation-Blusher-Kabuki-Brushes-Set-/141342818574?pt=UK_Health_Beauty_Make_up_Cosmetics_Make_up_Brushes_PP&var=&hash=item20e8b0410e

Christmas is catching up on us fast, and these are the perfect little stocking fillers, and presents for friends and family!


Until next time,

SKY FULL OF STARS INSPIRATION?!

Chris Martin- Sky Full Of Stars.

Hi everyone it's been a while!

In a recent interview with Coldplay's Chris Martin, (37) has revealed that no other than the stunning Katy Perry (30) inspired the chart topping hit, 'Sky Full Of Stars' no J-Law or Gwyneth, all Katy!

In a behind the scenes video Martin explains ''I'll tell you the truth I was listening to a lot of Katy Perry, a lot of her songs have the same chord sequence the whole time''.

''Your body feels comfortable with them and the melody is changing on top so there's like a groove that you really get into and then also you're kept interested''.

Don't know about anyone else but I wouldn't mind the lovely Chris to write a song for me, in fact it would be a dream come true. A girl can dream right??

BEST MAKEUP ARTIST EVER??

Hi everyone!

Yes, I know it's been forever since I have posted, but I'm back now, and I have plenty to share with you all!

Last Saturday I decided to get my makeup done by an amazing makeup artist.
After following her social media for a while, I thought why not and got it done!

STEPHANIE MCNAMEE

The gorgeous Stephanie was so lovely and welcoming into her home, and once we got chatting, I felt like she was one of those people who you click with right away, and we both shared our love for makeup so that might explain it!

THE MAKEUP!!
Can I just say how jealous I am of her makeup & brush collection!! Absolute heaven!
All of her makeup was set up and ready to go!
I was so delighted with how the makeup turned out, and most products that were used on me I never used myself, so a makeup shopping day is in order, RIP wages!!

I let Stephanie work her magic, and I just requested if the makeup could be of full coverage as my skin was having one of those days..
The foundation used was Mac Prolong Wear, and I was so impressed!
Having previously tried out Mac Studio Fix, I was really disappointed and thought it was a waste of money, it just wasn't for me!
So the Mac Prolong foundation is on my wishlist!

The makeup stayed beautifully throughout the night, needed NO touchups!!
If anyone knows me they know I constantly check on my makeup to see how it looks and when I came home super late 9-10 hours later, I couldn't believe how the makeup looked!

We kept it simple for the eyes, yet glammed it up by using liquid eyeliner!
I loved how the eyes turned out!

For my lips Steph used Mac's Honey Love, a beautiful nude colour, and I used my own Mac's Velvet Teddy to darken it up a bit!

Overall I was so pleased with the makeup! How it lasted, and how it looked, and the fact Stephanie was so lovely, and friendly I will 100% be coming back in the future!

STEPHANIE MAKEUP
I would love if you all could take a second to follow Stephanie on her social media!

MILA KUNIS BABY NAME!!

MILA KUNIS & ASHTON KUTCHER

Hi everyone!!

Yes, you heard it right, Mila & Ashton have decided on a name for their baby daughter!!

New father Ashton Kutcher (36) took to his website to officially announce the arrival of...

Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher!!

He stated: ''Mila and I would like to welcome Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher to the world. May your life be filled with wonder, love, laughter, health and happiness, curiosity and privacy''.

The actor also posted a picture, but not just any picture..
He posted a series of pictures of different babies, saying..
''Can you guess which one is ours, or does it really matter? All babies are cute.''
He's got a point!!

Also he posted on Facebook, ''Here's your baby photo. Well one of them is. Now can the helicopter please stop hovering over our house , there's a baby sleeping inside! And she's super cute.

                                         



                                                     

After looking closely at the pictures..
My guess is this little cutie here!
What do you think?!





KIM KARDASHIAN DID WHAT??

KIM KARDASHIAN WEST

Hi everyone!!

It seems Kim K has had a very eventful week this week in Paris, with husband Kanye West, and family.

Firstly, being almost knocked to the ground by celebrity prankster Vitalli Sediuk.
Herself, and husband Kanye being booed for being late to the Lanvin show (awkward).

Now another story has emerged and there is a video to go along with it!

Did Kim forgot her one year old daughter North West in a hotel??
Looking at the footage,
from the looks of it she did?

I don't know, take a look for yourself..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajrP2l2NVl8

Social media sites has gone crazy about the video, accusing Kim of being a bad mother..

MY THOUGHTS?

I think this is just another situation that has been blown out of proportion.
Kim may have had a hectic week, but I don't think she would forget her daughter..
Maybe she was getting something, or checking to see if the way was clear to bring little North out..
It's amazing how things can be made out to be the opposite of what they actually are..


 

No statements have been released. I wonder Kim has to say about it all..

MILA KUNIS GIVES BIRTH!!

MILA KUNIS & ASHTON KUTCHER WELCOME BABY GIRL

Hi everyone, yes finally the lovely Mila Kunis has given birth to a beautiful baby girl!
Huge congrats are in order for the couple Mila & Ashton on their little bundle of joy!

Sources state that Mila (31) gave birth at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles after arriving there shortly after 6am this morning!
Mother & daughter are doing great!

Mila & Ashton have been dating since 2011. They have known each other for a long time as they played alongside each other in the popular Tv series 'That 70's Show'

Also would you believe, Ashton was Mila's first kiss at the age of 14, and now they have a baby together and are set to get married. Amazing!

There are no details yet on their chosen name. What do we think, what names come to mind?
Will the celeb couple follow the trend of unique baby names, or go for something classy yet different.

I wish the beautiful couple all the best, and I will keep you all posted on the latest info! x
