Morphe 350M Palette | An Affordable And Simple Autumnal Makeup Look To Suit Everyone.

Evening/Morning ladies and gents. 

I hope everyone is fine and dandy?! 

Nothing majorly exciting has happened this week to fill you in about, it's literally the same old shit, different day kinda thang!

I am however hoping to go to the Safari Park on Sunday because they are running a competition for 'Wildlife Photographer Of The Year' and although I got some decent shots when I went on my birthday I want to get some better ones to enter. The prizes are pretty cool too. :) 

I am still loving Autumn but what I am not loving is the amount of spiders that are venturing into my house. I haven't slept for two nights now in fear that one of those beasts will enter my room. They aren't small either, they are freaking huge. 

So, as I am loving Autumn so much, what better than to share with you my Autumnal makeup look that will suit everyone. 

It's a lovely, warm look with the main focus on the eyes. It's perfect for day and night - especially if you are a little bit of an extrovert, who loves to experiment and likes to get creative with their makeup looks. 

Today I will be showing you everything I used on my eyes and face and the final look that I created with these products. All products are affordable and easy to use and mainly from the drugstore. 

The main product I am featuring for this look is the Morphe 350M palette from Beauty Bay. It's a really sort after palette and I like working with matte products so I decided to get this as I couldn't get hold of the original 350. I love this a lot. The colours are super pigmented so you don't need to use a lot to get a great colour pay off. 

Let me know what you think and please share if you re-create this look yourself. 

This swatch is just after a light swipe. You don't need a lot on your brush at all. 

What I used where on my eyes. 

1: All over my eye to dry the base primer out.

2: Transition shade across the crease, up to the brow.

3: Used in the depth of crease.

4: Outer eye, blended into the crease.

5: On the upper inner corner.

6: To darken the crease and the outer eye.

7: Darken around the liner.

8: Bottom lash line.

9: To smoke out under waterline.

* I did use the black out of the 35B palette to darken the final look*

I found these little beauties in Primark, they were £2.50 for the pack of three and the adhesive. Which I thought was pretty good. I used the copper coloured ones to add some sparkle on my inner lid and on the lower lash line. Taking them off though was a pain in the arse as it all ends up over you face. 

These LA Girl Pro.Conceal concealer/corrector's are pretty cool. I love the orange one for under the eyes as I have some pretty decent dark circles. This covers them super well so I use this before I apply my foundation around that area. These are also from Beauty Bay for £5 each. Score. 

I LOVE these lashes by Vagas Nay. They create such a dramatic look and really finish the eyes off. They do have a thick band so are best used with eyeliner on your upper lid but other than that they are great. 

They are around £5 in Savers (UK)  

I use Mac's Paint Pot in 'Soft Ochre' as my eye base and then I will use a nude shadow shade to set this in place so it's a lot easier to blend the shadows out. 

This is the mascara I currently use, I do like this one but with all mascara's they do NOTHING to my lashes. They are poker straight and aren't changing any time soon. 

My all time favourite eyeliner baby. This Soap and Glory eyeliner pen is the bomb. I love it soooo much, it's so easy to use and I would say great for beginners trying to master the flick. I have just bought another one of these in fear I run out. Ha. 

These are the products that I used on my face for this look. Starting from the top left.

1. Sleek contour kit in 'medium'.

2. L'Oreal Infallible foundation in 'vanilla' (my current foundation favourite).

3. Rimmel Stay Matte finishing powder in 'Sandstorm'.

4. LA Girl Pro.Powder HD setting powder - I use this under my eyes.

5. Sleek 'Solstice' highlighters.  

These are the products that I have been reaching for to sort out my brows. Baring in mind my brows on quite light and sparse I cannot get a really nice 'natural' brow look but I use the L'Oreal Brow Artist kit first and define and darken the 'tail' with the NYX Tame and Frame pomade. 

Finally to complete this look I will reach for my trusty nude lips. These are the three products I use without fail, almost every day. 

I will line my lips with the Primark liner, then dab on the Primark matte chunky lipstick pencil and to finish off I will use Mac's 'Honeylove' - my ultimate favourite lipstick EVER,  in the centre of the lips. 

And here is the finished look for y'all. 

I hope you like it. 

 There you have it, my completed look. 

:) 

I hope this has inspired you makeup enthusiasts to go all out Autumn on your face and you can make this as subtle or dramatic as you like.

Violet Voss Holy Grail Palette | First Impressions | Review | Makeup Look.

Happy Thursday guys. Almost the weekend!! 

I hope everyone reading is well?! 

I cannot believe it's almost been a week since my birthday. Time is flying by so fast and it makes me feel so sick that I still don't have a job. I know in each post I write I have been mentioning this but it's a way to vent and I am getting quite worried now as to why I am not getting anything. Anyone else in the same boat as me? 

As I mentioned it was birthday Sunday just gone, so as a little present from me to me I treated myself to a cheeky Beauty Bay order. I purchased an LA Girl - orange correction concealer, a Morphe crease blending brush, Makeup Geek's 'Creme Brulee' eyeshadow pan and finally the Violet Voss 'Holy Grail' palette. 

Now, this palette is highly sort after, limited edition and as soon as it comes into stock it has disappeared minutes later. Last time this palette came into stock I didn't get the chance to buy it as it sold out so quickly. 

You can only get this in America, mainly, so when it comes into stock on Beauty Bay everyone is flying at it. 

I was so happy that I managed to get my hands on this palette because the colours are SO freaking beautiful. Totally up my street and so warm which is the tone I love to work with the most. 

The Holy Grail palette retails at around £35 on Beauty bay and has a few similar shades to Anastasia's 'Modern Renaissance' palette and is still cheaper. 

When I first opened my package and the palette was revealed to me, my initial thought was - 'it's a lot smaller and thinner than I expected'. 

The packaging the palette comes in is monochrome which I love, it's super sleek, expensive looking and chic. 

The above pic is of the outer packaging and on the inside the palette is protected in bubble wrap, this is why I thought the palette was thicker in depth. 

The palette itself matches the box but the palette is made out of a soft, velvet style texture which is easily markable but not so much wipeable. Take care in that.

The name of the palette 'Holy Grail' is a statement in itself and is basically suggesting that this palette is all you're going to need, what you're going to reach for and one of which you will highly recommend. 

I for one, TOTALLY AGREE!! 

This has got to be my favourite palette right now. No word of a lie. I am super glad I invested in the hype because it is 100% worth it.  

There is nothing not like about this palette. The shadows themselves are highly pigmented, you really don't need a lot on your brush to get an amazing colour payoff. The payoff it true to pan and they are so buttery and blend beautifully. 

The palette consists of matte shades and shimmer shades and if you spray a little Fix Plus spray before applying the shimmer the colours' really pop. I am so impressed it's unreal. 

This palette is totally suitable for all skin types in my opinion and there are colours within the palette that everyone will like. 

Perfect for autumnal looks let me tell you. 

Check out that pay off, it's super cute!! 

The swatch above is from one light swipe, can I get an "amen"!

Another thing I like is the names of each colour, they are really thought out and clever. 

I am totally in love right now. 

Below are swatches of the whole palette so you can get an idea of what they look like. 

Obviously I am a pale face so they will show up different on different skin tones but ya get me. 

N/B - Tones starting from my wrist are the swatches from the top left of the palette through to the last pan on the bottom right. 

 You get 20 shadows within this palette and to me that's pretty good value for money. I love all the colours, especially the warm mattes and the cranberries. 

As soon as this comes back in stock again you NEED to get this a.s.a.p. It really is a must-have, a staple 'HOLY GRAIL' in your makeup collection and I would totally recommend to EVVVVERRRRYYYONEE!! :) 

Below is an eye look that I created with this palette. 

I decided to do a dramatic cut crease using the shades 'Transition' 'Hashtag' and 'Bestie' in the crease line. 'Brownie Points' and 'Teddy Bear' in the outer crease. I used 'Toffee' and 'Awesome Sauce' on the lid and finally on the inner lower lash line I used 'Wine N Dine' mixed with a separate purple shadow. I then added some glitter to the lower lash line and the black/brown you can see is my gel liner in which I smudged out mixed with 'Brownie Points' and 'Teddy Bear'. 

The lashes are Vagas Nay - 'Grand Glamour'. 

I hope you have enjoyed this post, the review and my makeup look.

Fake A Golden Glow Without A Tan | My Top 8 Drugstore Face Products That You Must Have

Evening lovelies :) 

Who's been loving this heatwave in the UK? 

Not me, that's fo'so!! I cannot stand the hot weather, I am constantly in black clothing and don't really wear Summer dresses so I just end up sweating my arse off!! 

I love to layer my clothes and wear dark colours. I use my makeup to add the colour... I am not that Emo. :) 

Seeing as I am lits like Casper 99.9% of the year, I decided to do a golden glow look on my face to warm me up a little. 

Being pale isn't always great because I tend to look like I am taking part in a horror movie, I do like to be tanned now and then. I dislike the heavy fake tan look however, we want a glow ladies not freaking Wotsits!!!

 I didn't want to apply fake tan to my face because lets face it a number of things could majorly go wrong. It could be a catastrophic event! Ha ha. 

I have taken my must-have/go to products (8 of them in fact) that I use to create a fake golden tan... Well without the tan involved. The products I have used are all drugstore brands which is great if you're on a budget and I feel they produce a real nice NATURAL gleaming, glow on your beautiful moon face!

Here we goooooooo....

On top of my primer I put on the Nyx 'Born To Glow' liquid illuminiator. My shade is 'Pure Gold' and I dab this around my face and blend it in with my hand first and then with a buffing brush. This is to give me a natural glow under my foundation. 

My next step is to apply foundation. Now the rule to this is to actually apply a base shade that is either slightly lighter or to match your skin tone. I find that if you go lighter on the base it makes your glow a lot more natural when you build up the bronzer. 

Today I am using L'Oreal's Infallible 24hr foundation in 'Ivory'. It's a matte finish foundation so if you want it more dewy I would suggest spritzing some of Mac's Fix Plus. 

Okay so to achieve the 'golden glow' that's as natural looking as the sun I will lightly dust the Seventeen 'Instant Glow' Pink Rocks bronzer in the areas that the sun would naturally touch. It has a slight shimmer to it which makes the finish soft and not harsh.

I will then go in with Collection's 'Bronze Glow' powder to contour my cheekbones. They are already prominent but I just give them an extra boost and I will then blend in with a buffing brush. 

 For highlighter and to finish the face off I have been using The Balm's 'Mary-Lou Manizer' and it's beautiful. It has a massive highlight payoff and is really pigmented. You don't need a lot to get an amazing highlight on your face. I will highlight the top of my cheeks with this, the bridge of my nose, chin, top lip and forehead. 

I will apply my Collection 'Lasting Perfection' concealer before hand on the areas that I will highlight so it's already lightened and will glow spectacularly. 

On the eyes, I have been using Nyx's Tame and Frame tinted brow pomade on my brows. I am still trying to get used to that as I usually use powders. 

And to give the eyes a matching look I will use Makeup Revolution's Matte shadow palette to give me a light smokey eye.

This is the finished look. 

 As you can see, it'a a light bronzed look that I have gone for, no orange streaks in sight. It's also light enough to wear throughout the summer as you can adapt the base from full coverage to light. It's a real versatile look that can be adapted to all skin tones, that's what is so good about it. It's a look for everyone.  

Seriously, this look is easy to achieve and you just end up looking lovely and healthy. I don't get out much right now because of my hay fever so I am lacking in vitamin D big time. 

This way, I am cheating my glow. 

All these products you can find in Superdrug and Boots in the UK.
