Spring/Summer Make up Look

Hello, Everyone :) Today I will share a little everyday spring/summer make up look. As always I am using affordable drugstore products and funnily enough they are all by Maybelline apart from the green shadow and sage eyeliner (I'll share details below) :) I have really been liking Maybelline recently and I'm pretty sure it's taking over from my Revlon love. Their new releases have all been so awsome and I've also found some older products that I have come to really like. So big love to Maybelline :) I used peachy corals and minty green colours, because they seem to catch my eye the most lately :)


I used the satin liquid foundation in shade 02 cameo for my base. I generously applied the blush in shade 62 Rosewood on my cheeks and then used E.l.f. cosmetics single shadow in shade Wheat as a highlight. 
On the lids I have MUA Colour Blast eyeshadow tint in shade Diamond as a base and then the same shadow Wheat on top of the whole lid. In the crease I have E.l.f single shadow pot in ''sage'' and MUA eye shadow in shade 6 - Pearl...which is the green one...weird name for this kind of green. I used the MUA 3in1 extreme contour liner in shade Fresh Mint on my waterline and also close to the lashline.
The mascara is Maybelline Lash Sensational in black. As usual I don't have any fake lashes as I don't wear them daily...or ever really :D 
And lipstick is Maybelline Coloursensational in 418 Peach Poppy, which they do in the 100th Birthday edition packaging as well.

Hope you enjoyed the post
Stay tuned as I will be uploading Oscars 9 month Update Post tomorrow :)

50's Inspired Make Up Look

Hello, Everyone :)

I woke up today and was like I feel like I need to be in a 50's movie :D I felt like wearing a house dress and walk around in fluffy slippers sipping some bubbly. Obviously I have a baby to take care of so staring drinking in the morning is not really something I can do :D But I though I'll take the middle way and spend some time doing my make up and hair. I'm in no way or form a professional make up artist and I can only do what I can do :D So be nice people, and if you think this is really bad, then maybe knowing I stayed at home and saw absolutely no one, hopefully makes it a bit better :D
I decided to go for the peachy look :) The weather is absolutely horrendous so why not go all peachy...raiiiight? :) I used the most least expensive make up and the results are pretty 
amazing if you ask me. I'm particularly impressed by the MakeupRevolution matte lipstick in color Bliss. I think this will be my summer lipstick and it only costs £1 :o Like whaaat?
I will also say that it's not really a detailed make up look. It's super simple anyway( I will explain below) and I did edit the pictured the way I did on purpose. It's meant to be a fun post :) Hope you enjoy :)


With this picture, I didn't blur the photo, it just didnt turn out quite the quality it was meant. But I think the blurriness just adds to the whole effect :)



I have MUA blush in shade 1 on my lids :) And cheecks actually. I only added a bit of golden shadow to the tearduct and just in the arch of the eyebrow :)



I also tried out a new contouring routine, which I absolutely love. My nose is huge, so I love that you can just make it look slimmer with make up. Also my cheekbones are not really as out there as I would like, so contouring all the way from my ear to the corner of my lip and then highlighting works wonders :) You might not be able to see just because of the filter on the picture, so if you would like to see a detailed post about my new contouring routine, let me know :)


These are the super non-expensive products I used to get the main peachy look :)

MUA Blusher  - Shade 1  on the picture this shade looks pink, but it's actually a peachy orange colour 
MUA Intense Kisses High Intensity Gloss - Color Quick Smooch
Makeup Revolution Amazing lipstick - shade Bliss
Zoeva Luxe Soft Definer brush  - 227  My brush was part of the rose gold set of brushes which is why the link can't link to the exact brush. 
And I used the silver angle shadow brush to do a really subtle flick with a black shadow. I think it's th Backstage range brush from crownbrush.com But I'm not too sure. You can use any angled brush with a bit tougher bristles :)

If you would like any more details about this look, leave a comment below and I will be sure to answer as best as I can.

Hope you enjoyed the post. I'll try to do an outfit post next and before Oscars 8 Month Update post...but we shall see how good I will be :D
Stay tuned :)
