' I'm Blue ' eye makeup look

 

 As soon as I saw this eye pic on Pinterest, I knew I had to do a look for it, it is incredible. Here's what I would use:

Alima Pure Satin Matte Eyeshadow in White

Alima Pure Pearluster Eyeshadow in Cimarron

Everyday Minerals Double Perfect Eyeshadow/Eyeliner brush

Modern Minerals Eyeliner in Drama

Ilia Beauty Mascara in Nightfall

Inika Eyeliner in Peacock Blue

I am currently obsessed with blue eyeliner look, not too sure if I could pull if off but i'm definitely keen to give it a try.

Peaches & Cream

Every time this picture pops up on my Pinterest page I find myself staring at it for ages, I just love the pure, neutral simplicity of this makeup look so I just had to find some products to recreate it naturally.

Firstly, we start with the base which would be none other than my beloved rms beauty "Un"-cover up. To use as a base, I take a small chunk and rub it into the back of my hand to warm it up a bit, then I take a sponge applicator and apply it as I normally would foundation, from the center out. I find this to be the best foundation I have ever come across, it blends perfectly, gives amazing coverage and doesn't become cakey or oily, it just looks great. It truly is a perfect product.

Next comes the eyes. I have chosen the Nvey Eco Organic Creative Eye Color System in 5 because the colors are gorgeous and suit the neutral look well. I think any of the colors would suit the look well but I would personally go with 162 or 168 which are the second and fourth colors as these are the most neutral and just apply all over the lid. 

Next would I would apply a light lashing of Couleur Caramel Mascara for Long Lashes in Brown as it keeps with the minimal look and also because it is the best natural mascara I have come across so far. One coat would be fine. 

I would also add a tiny bit of the white end of Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup Eye Highlighter Pencil to the lower waterline to brighten up the eyes and a little of the pink end just underneath the lower lashline. This makes the eyes look amazing. 

For blush I've chosen the Vapour Organic Beauty Aura Multi-Use Blush Classic in Tender as it will give just a hint of peachy flush to the cheeks while still looking natural. I love this type of blush personally as I don't like too much color on my cheeks.

Last but not least, apply a one or two coats of Ilia Beauty Tinted Lip Conditioner in Dizzy for that beautiful kiss me color. This is the best match to the color in the picture that I have found and it will give lips that beautiful, luscious, dewy look.

I think this look would be complete with some eyebrow grooming as well, and maybe some subtle highlighting on the brow bone with rms beauty living luminizer or Ilia Beauty Polka Dots & Moonbeams as they are both great, nourishing products. 

I hope you all like these type of post's because I plan on doing more of them in the future and would be happy to find products for anyone looking to recreate a certain look :)

Nude Hued Nails

 

I don't know about everyone else but for me, when Winter hits I find myself always reaching for darker hued polishes like deep red, violet, royal blue etc. and Summer is the season for brights and pastels, but Spring...Spring is absolutely the time for neutral nails and I have found some great 3-free or better nail polishes in beautiful neutral hues that just sing Spring.

1. Zoya Polish in Avery.

Yep, 5-Free. I didn't know there was any nail polish's that were 5-Free but apparently all Zoya nail polish's are free from Toluene, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, DBP & Camphor. 

2. Priti Nyc in Chilian Bamboo.

I love Priti polish's, i'm not sure if its more because of the cute bottle or what but they are my go to when i'm buying new colors, besides the fact that they are great of course.

3. Butter London in Hen Party.

I have only bought one Butter London polish so far as they are on the pricier side but it is really good. Great staying power, goes on smooth and good color pay off. 

4. Kure Bazaar in Corso 22.

I am yet to try this brand as I only discovered them recently but from what I've read they are fantastic and will definitely be part of my next haul.

I cannot wait for spring to really hit, my street is already lined with beautiful blossoms and scents, we just need the sun to shine and the birds to sing!

Be Mine

Today I wanted to do a Valentine's Day inspired look, and I think it turned out surprisingly well. Sorry for the bad lighting, the weather is being very un-summery lately and these were the best shots I could get.

To start with I cleansed and moisturised my face with some coconut oil, then applied  Alima Pure Semi Matte Foundation in Neutral 3.

I then applied rms beauty "un" cover-up in 11 under and on the inner corner of my eyes to lighten them.

Next I applied a line of Madison Street Beauty eyeshadow in Redcurrent (deep pinkish red) along my upper lashline, going thick at the outer corner with a slight wing, then used Madison Street Beauty eyeshadow in Cherry Blossom (medium pink and one of my favourite eyeshadow's) over my lid, blending to just above the crease and to the tip of the wing. I then dabbed a little Alima Pure Luminous Shimmer Eyeshadow in Dream in the inner corner to brighten my eyes more, blending it into the pink a little.

I applied a thin layer of Larenim Mascara in Black, only to define my eyelashes, not making them to overpowering, and lined the waterline's with Couleur Caramel Eye and Lip Pencil in White.

Next I took a little bit of Alima Pure's Luminous Shimmer Blush in Freja to the apples of my cheeks, just enough for a subtle flush of colour.

Lastly I applied a light layer of Vapour Organic Beauty Aura Multi Use in Spark to my lips followed by a few dab's of Neal's Yard Lipgloss in Clear, then I blotted my lips to make it seem more like a natural tint to my lips.

I wanted to go for a subtle flush of colour and I think this look hit that goal perfectly, a look I may just go for on Valentine's :)

(sorry for the terrible angle, I was trying to capture the colour's better)

Beauty Look 1

 This is an everyday casual look, although a bit more dressed up than usual for me :)

Kora Organics Tinted Day care Cream all over my face.

RMS Beauty "un" cover-up under my eyes.

 Mineral Fusion Eyeshadow Trio in Diversity. The skin tone all over my lid up to the brow bone, the light pink over my lid to the crease, then the deep colour in the crease.

Couleur Caramel Mascara for Long Lashes in Brown.

RMS Beauty lip2cheek in Smile on my cheeks.

RMS Beauty Lip Shine in Bloom on my lips.

I'm generally a tinted moisturiser and lip gloss kind of girl but I really liked this look. Not too done up but some nice colour. Im thinking I might do something a bit more extravagent next???
