Sparkly Eyes, Snack Bar & Samba Night | Turkey Day 8










Let's get straight to the point - I will 100% weigh double of what I do by the end of this holiday; helping yourself to an all inclusive snack bar is definitely not the way to go to lose weight. It is a struggle to avoid the poolside snack bar when you can order a greasy cheesy pizza (my personal fave) whenever you wish. The cheese in Turkey tastes very different but insanely delicious; other than Prezzo, I've never tasted a pizza quite like these! Yum...

Throughout the day, you can join in several activities around/in/by the pool. Today, Jess got stuck in and participated in the Killer Darts competition. Not only did you step up against 15 others, but she conquered all and managed to win a golden medal. 

My makeup was very minimal on the lips and face today; I lightly contoured with my Estee Lauder bronze goddess, threw a BB cream on and applied my NYX pink lipstick in Audrey. Tonight, my eyes were the dramacy to my simplistic, casual look. I layered an Essence golden glitter over my Mac Woodwinked eyeshadow all over the lid. This looked super pretty and girly, complimenting my royal blue themed clothing.

Entertainment tonight was the best by far - Samba dancers filled the stage in copious brightly coloured costumes, feathers consistently span around the stage and women were elegantly thrown into the night's humid air. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire evening and would 100% happily see the act countless times again.

What have you guys getting up to over Summer?

Until tomorrow...

Pink // Worldwide Rainbow Outfits


Outfit  ~ Evening






Good evening all, I have a special little post today that involves 14 other lovely girls. We all got in contact by the wonderful Myah Skeete (www.myahrebbecasblog.wordpress.com) and have brought to you a collab which involves copious outfit colours. I got lucky with the colour pink - if you do not wear pink, no fear, scroll to the bottom of this post and click on one of my fellow collabers who happens to be styling your desired colour choice. Some of us have even included a few beauty bits and bobs related to the outfit/colour too!

My outfit is what I would call, 'evening-appropriate'. A gorgeous tight-clung, long-sleeved bodycon dress, perfect for summer because of the girly pastel pink shade. I paired the dress with nude suede shoes (LOL) and a nude, gold chained clutch bag. Personally, I'd wear this to a summer party; the bag is ideal due to it being lightweight and compact, which helps limit myself, and probably many of you, to carrying only the night's essentials (lipstick, powder, phone etc).

Dress - Select (£14.99)
Shoes - Next (£22.99)
Bag - New Look (£14.99)
Lipstick - Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Elusive (£7.99)

 I find pink-toned blushes, eyeshadows and lips can really enhance the outfit. Here are a few makeup options that can add an extra little pink sparkle to your look: -





~~ LIPS - Mac Lovelorn - YSL 01 - Urban Decay Liar - Bobbi Brown Rose Blossom - Revlon Elusive - NYX Audrey - Tanya Burr Aurora - BLUSHES - Mac Fleur Power - Too Faced Sweethearts - Bourjois Jasper Rose - Benefit Rockateur - EYESHADOW - Urban Decay Naked3 - Bobbi Brown Pink Opal - Benefit RSVP - L'Oreal Naughty Strawberry - NAIL POLISH - Barry M ~ Mediterranean, Grapefruit, Pink Iridescent ~~

Urban Decay Naked Lipgloss ~ LIAR





Packaging

Encased in a rose gold tube with 'NAKED' embossed largely in the centre, it is safe to say that Urband Decay have one of the most beautifully styled products on the market. This nifty gloss is compact in a fairly thin tube, perfect for travelling, as well as holding a hell of a lot of product. So far, so good...and we've only been talking about the aesthetics?! The applicator is  doe-foot, further helping to create precisice appliance.

Shade

Colourwise, I would describe this to be a muted pink with equitably warm and cool undertones; the finish is slightly glossy but not excessively shiny. This has to be an ultimate spring shade, gorgeous paired with a pink top or pink accessories.  

Formulation

 A mix between a luxe balm and rich gloss, this product is laced with nourishing ingredients that are good for your skin/lips - such as Avocado Oil, Vitamin E and Shea Butter to hydrate and condition your lips. The formula is completely lightweight and great for those who despise sticky glosses, as this is in no way sticky at all!

Pigementation 

When discussing pigmentation, I would say these glosses aren't overly pigmented (the lighter colours are fairly sheer when I swatched in store). The fact the colour pay off isn't intense makes them ideal to use over a similar coloured lipstick, or alone for a simple and more natural wash of colour.

Mini Mac Collection









As Mac is a very popular makeup brand, I thought I would do a lil blog post completely dedicated to the products I own and have tried. Shall we begin?

Studio Fix Fluid NC15 ~ Let's start off with my favourite foundation ever! I was so lucky to get this off of my friend Chloe(thoughtitboughtit.blogspot.co.uk). This beauty has a medium-full coverage, perfect if you ask me, with a fairly thick consistency. The finish is slightly matte but doesn't cling to any dry patches on the skin. NC15 is the lightest shade in the 'cool-toned' range, which is sad for those even paler than myself; luckily, this colour fits my skin tone exactly! 100% recommend to those girls who love a bit of coverage, like myself :-)

Fleur Power Blush ~ For a healthy flush to the cheeks, all you need is this little blush. Personally, I think the shade is very universal so would suit most skin tones - the colour is a mix between a bright peach and muted pink. The pigmentation is incredible; I would definitely recommend tapping excess off after swiping your brush. This is a colour especially suitable for those who love minimalistic/natural makeup.

Woodwinked Eyeshadow ~ This is honestly my favourite eyeshadow of all time. Woodwinked is a soft brown with ridiculous amounts of golden glitters running through, making the finish very metallic. The colour has slight olive-y undertones, so looks incredible on dark eyes. Overall, a really flattering eye shade that can be swiped all over the lid for a very glamourous but quick go-to eye look.

Cranberry Eyeshadow ~ Here comes another great eyeshadow of mine - CRANBERRY. Can we just appreciate how perfect this is for Autumn, I mean seriously?! A fiery red with hints of purple tones and some shimmer; this works beautifully in the crease, in fact pair it with woodwinked all over the lid for a total autumnal look.

Vanilla Pigment ~ The pigments from Mac are insane. Vanilla is a gorgeous off-white colour with gold glitters, making it perfect for inner corner highlighting. This can be a multi-purpose product, as I've read some people use it as a highlight and to your lips have a frosty lip effect (which sounds soooo cool, I really need to give that one a go!) I personally just use it in the inner corner of my eyes to brighten them up and on my brow bone for definition.

Rubenesque Paint Pot ~ I am patiently waiting to buy the melon pigment which completely complements this paint pot. In the meantime, I have been using Trick from the Naked 3 palette to build up the iridescent peach-gold effect. Mega must-have Mac product; it is just so aesthetically pleasing!

Bare Study Paint Pot ~ A neutral light champagne colour with subtle pink shimmers, creating the prettiest pearly sheen on the eyelids. Bare Study is a lovely base, as well as another inner-corner-highligher. I really love to wear this on its own, for those days where you just can't be bothered to apply excessive shadow.

Velvet Teddy Lipstick ~ The Kylie Jenner Colour. This has been all the rave throughout the end of last year and into this coming year. I totally agree with this hype because of the sophisticated matte finish and muted brown tone. A very flattering shade for women of all skin tones. *features in this look*

Lovelorn Lipstick ~ My second ever Mac lippie (I lost my first one - Angel *cries*). This is a lustre finish, which gives the lip an overall glossy look. This candy, blue-toned pink is very moisturizing on the lips and the formulation is super creamy - making it a dream to wear. I cannot stand drying lip products!!! *features in this look*

Lady Danger Lipstick ~ As Mac describes, this is a very 'VIVID BRIGHT CORAL-RED'. The lasting power for this product is well over 5 hours, which is amazing if you ask me. This is my latest MAC purchase and it most definitely has not let me down. All I need to know is a good ol' liner to pair this bad boy with?! Any ideas??

Rebel Lipstick ~ Satin finish lipsticks are my ultimate faves. Matte with a slight sheen :) I am in love with this lipstick and it has to be one of my all time favourites. A sumptuous, deep purple that makes your teeth look insanely white - what more could you ask for? This is also a great one for staying power - it even stains my lips when trying to scrub it off!!! The richness of the colour seriously enhances your lip shape, which is perfect for those who want to achieve fuller, bigger lips. *full review here*

Dervish Lipliner ~ This natural nude can easily redefine your lips and give them a more 'plumpy' aspect. This pinky-mauve colour fits Velvet Teddy to a 'T'. The liner is highly pigmented, so the product glides on the lips instead of nastily tugging.

Thank you so much for reading

Love you all

Black, Turtle Necks & Bodycon



Long time, no speak. Sorry once again...I really need to organise my time but I've just been caught up with school work and everything! Anyway, today I wanted to upload a little post about my latest fashion obsessions - bodycons, turtle necks and the colour black.

Recently, I have been buying multiple black items - I have no idea why, I just think it looks so sophisticated, classy and most importantly, you can rock any lip colour with it. My favourite lipstick to pair with a black outfit definitely has to be nude (purple lips are a close second). If you love black too but think this dress looks dull, I would definitely spice it up by wearing some gold jewellry; it goes perfectly with black attire in my opinion! 

My second fashion musthave at the minute are bodycon dresses. These slim styled dresses walked into my life about two years ago and I've gained an increasing obsession with them. Despite disliking my figure, I really love the way bodycon dresses hug mine because it makes me look slimmer than I actually am. These dresses are also perfect for those who want to show off their curves too. 

Finally, one of the latest fashion crazes are turtle necks; I used to hate them so much and they made me feel so claustrophobic and suffocated. Only recently have I bonded with these little guys - they are ideal for Winter, but the dress above can be worn in the Summer as it is very light and thin. I love the cute turtle neck tops too, they look so gorgeous with denim jeans.

Dress ~ £8.00 from Primark ~ I do love a good bargain!

Luxury Nude Lips | Mac&Chanel







If you've been struggling to create that flawless nude lip that takes yours from concealer lips to Kylie Jenner, then you should carry on reading...

When wearing nude lipstick, I tend to be drawn to warmer pinks tones rather than cooler, as they work better with my natural lip colour. Usually, I find nude lipsticks to not be as long lasting as brighter colours, so the majority of the time I opt for liner to pair it with. Mac's Dervish is perfect for the job - it is the exact colour match for Chanel's Satisfaction and beautifully intensifies the warmness of the original tone. I apply Dervish slightly over my natural lipline to bring out my inner Kylie (I wish) and marginally enlarge them.  

Chanel Rouge CoCo Shine in Satisfaction is a god send. A warm, rose nude with a buttery, moisturzing texure is all I could ask for in my optimal lipstick. It gives a slight glossy finish which is really flattering, especially in the winter months. This lip combo is ideal for everyday wear, as it is both subtle and pretty. The packaging is also to die for - I loooove the Chanel logo!

Thanks for reading x
