Fairy makeover


She came back over with lots of super super gorgeous things so I was so excited. She prepped me with strobe cream which is used to brighten and enhances the effect of light on the skin! So I looked all glowy and I really liked the finish to it - I think in the summer if your skin was clear you could could get away with that alone!
Next we started off with a concealer to cover any little blemishes and darkness under the eyes, she picked out the mineralise concealer for me - I am not sure of the shade but I must admit I wasn't wowed by it and I didn't think the coverage was as good as the collection 2000 lasting perfection but it was nice to have on for the day 
Then my foundation, and omg it is just the most amazing product I have ever used or seen or anything. It was the MatchMaster spf 15 foundation in shade 1.0 and it is a perfect match for my skin - it offers really good coverage and still makes me look glowwy!! Pure perfection 
For my cheeks she used a gorgeous highlighter that was so pretty and shimmery and it was very pretty but I cant find it on the website to show you a picture!! She also used a bronzer in shade golden and it is perfect not to obvious but a good contourer and adds a nice amount of colour to my cheeks!
Then onto my eyes and this was by far my favourite part of the makeover and they looked massive and not so boring and shiny and *sigh* I loved it!

So for the base we used the 'Bare Study' paint pot which was an almost rose gold shine 


Then to highlight we used 'shroom' which in person is a white gold shimmer not a purple like it looks in the picture.. It is such a cute highlighter and makes you look far far more awake and your eyes look far wider

 And then for definition we used 'Omega' and it is perfect. I think it is a colour that would suit every one under the sun, it doubles as an eye brow filler and eye liner! She used it for extra definition 
Then I had a really thin line of eye liner to thicken my lash line in shade 'black track' 
For my actual lashes she used studio fix lash which is really good for making lashes splay out and as I have so many they tend to stick together so it was amazing  
And to finish off for my lips I specifically asked for a nudey pink lip so that it was wearable and not overly showy! She found me the perfect colour which is 'creme cup' 

So that concludes it! I specifically asked for a school look that I know I could doll up for a particular event! I think it matched the brief perfectly and received many a compliment when wearing the look! I ended up buying the foundation, the omega eye shadow, the bronzer and lipstick. I am planning on getting the mascara this weekend and Geogria was so sweet and decantered me a massive lump of the paint pot as she knew I couldn't really afford to buy anything else!!

Check out the products as they were all lovely!
Lots of Love

Black is the colour..

Black is the colour of my true love's hair.
Her lips are like a rose so fair.
She's got the sweetest face and the gentlest hands.
I love the ground where on she stands.

Hey everyone!
So todays post is looking at  all the things I am loving in a particular colour!
If you haven't guessed by the title and snippet of lyrics I am looking at the colour black! Now I don't want to seem depressing or gothic or anything but I have just found the chic side of black and hope to share it with you guys!

BLACK BOOTS:

So these are my winter shoesies and oh how I love them! You can't really tell from the image but the back panel is suede and they have cute little capped toes! They look quite small but they have quite a substantial heel which helps us small folk out! They were from h and m at a reasonable price of £22 and were a very nice Christmas present (so thankyou mummy and daddy!)

EYE LINER:

So this is my current eye liner and it is AMAZING. It is slowly drying out but despite this, it is the easiest pen I have tried in regards to keeping the line straight and adding flicks. I like that it can be dulled down to a grey with eye shadow on top or really strong black on its own. Just on the lash line it makes the world of difference for making eyes look bigger and more awake (my savior on a rubbish day!) It is the Maybelline Eye Studio Master Precise Liner Black and I bought it whilst it was on special but I believe it is £6 normally! 

VIDEO CAMERA:

Now this is totally random and you could argue it is probably  more silver than black but never mind!! So as you know I went to a concert the other week and I managed to film the entire thing on this little thing and it was so much fun to watch it back remember the evening and listen to me and my friend scream/singing over the top! So since then I have been capturing little snippets of family life and I plan to make my Mum a video for her birthday! I am also planning on using it when I next stay with my little bloggy pal so I can always remember these times!!

PETER PAN COLLARED TOP:

This is my new favourite top!! I just think it is so cute! It has three quarter length sleeves and this adorable little collar and it just goes with literally all my bottom halves! Forever 21 is such a bargain shop just £9 for this little number and it is looks smart but super soft at the same time so I feel it is very versatile! 

MY BABIES!!!!!

I just love these shoes - I am well aware they are not to everyone's taste but they are so mine. They are cute little suede wedges and I am wearing them with leather leggings and a white top to a party in a few weeks! They are a good walking/dancing height and I feel as if I can walk around comfortably. £10 from Primark just perfect for parties! I would highly reccomend Primark heels for one off or casual situations because they are cheep and cute!  

So yes! I am hoping to do a look book and include my shoes and top so look out for that!

Lots of Love
