Arabic Inspired Sunkissed party look.........


Hi everyone!!!

How are you all today??
Fab I hope!! I wanted to share with you my look for the Sunkissed Party competition.
I decided that I wanted something a little different from the norm and went for an Arabic inspired eye, with dewy skin and a rosy glow.


For this look I used the Sunkissed palette and the Giant Bronzer.
In addition to this I used my foundation, Concealer, black gel eye liner and brow products.



The shadows blend beautifully and are super pigmented, I really enjoyed using them.

You can see them in action in my tutorial below....



I love the depth of the colours and the way they work together, the palette makes it easy to coordinate your look.

Illamasqua Box Lipstick......


I LOVE RED LIPSTICK.
I always have, and I'm pretty sure I always will.
Some people may think that a red lippy is a red lippy, if only they knew how wrong they are.

Finding your signature red can be like finding a needle in a haystack. There are so many different shades, finishes and tones that I think that is why so many think that red lipstick doesn't suit them, find that right one tho and you are guaranteed a glamorous look that will NEVER go out of fashion.

I for example cant wear anything with a orange base, it just makes me look urgh and my teeth look yellow.

Put me in a classic blue based red tho, and woop woop, my teeth are back to there usual shade of white (Not bright white but I must admit they are not too shabby if I do say so myself lol) and I have the glam look that I adore.

So anyway, enough waffling on , I wanted to share with you one of my current favorites, this is BOX from Illamasqua, for me a beautiful classic red.


This lipstick has a satin finish in my opinion, its not too matte but doesn't have so much shine that you run the risk of it ending up everywhere!! 
Its long lasting ( I personally find red a good long lasting colour in general) and doesn't dry my lips out, a win win in my opinion.


This for me is what I see as a traditional red. Admittedly its not as blue as I would normally go for, however its a beauty of a red. I really do think that the perfect red just looks so classy and timeless.



What are your favorite red lipsticks?

Look Beauty Brow Perfect!


As I have mentioned before, I am always on the look out for something new for my brows, its almost a little obsession  lol. I always seem to go back to a pencil, but I at the same time I'm always looking for the perfect brow powder.

I really have tried them all, HD Brow kit, MUA, FashionistA, Elf, Sleek, and none of them have just that right colour for my brows. They are all either a bit too light or dark or just too orange.

So imagine my amazement when I found the perfect colour in this little beauty!!!


This is the beautiful Brow Perfect from Look Beauty, what makes it different is that it doesn't just have the usual 3/4 shades, It has 7!!!! Yes that's right girls I said 7!!!


In addition to the 7 ( Have i mentioned that they are 7 shades already??)  it has the cutest pair of mini tweezers, a double ended brush, and a clear fixing gel that in all honesty is the strongest and best brow gel I have used. I hope that they bring this out to buy separate as I'm in love with it!!!

The really handy thing with this palette tho, especially if you have perhaps over plucked or are looking to change the shape of your brows is the handy little stencils that are inside the little compartment in the bottom.


I have had a little play around with the stencils changing the shape of my brows, and when you do its amazing to see how different it can make you look!!!

I have been reaching for this palette every day in the last 3 weeks and am really enjoying it. Not only does it have a perfect brow shade for me and amazing fixing gel, the powder is far longer lasting than other brow powders I have tried.

I am still getting used to using a brush ( I only use the one in the kit for freshen ups, its too small for my prefrence) to do my brows, Would you like to see how I do them??


Now this kit is more expensive than other drugstore versions, however for me, it beats them all hands down.
The palette costs £11.99 and can be found in selected branches of Superdrug or online from Look Beauty.

So what do you think? 
Have you tried this palette? What are your favorite brow products?

Look Beauty Loud Lips, Rock Candy.......


Lipstick is still a fairly new love of mine. Up until last year I was always a gloss girl with maybe a half dozen lipsticks ( Not the ones in my client kit) to my name.

I have found over the last couple of years that I love experimenting with bright colours.

A fab combo that I have been loving now for a while is the Loud Lips Lipstick and Liner in Rock Candy from Look Beauty.


I first tried this lipstick when I was sent it to try for Breast Cancer Awareness month, You can see the original post Here


This has quickly become a favorite colour of mine, I love how I can quickly brighten up my whole makeup look with that a slick of this lipstick.

The packaging is super cute on the lippy, it has a magnetic closure paying homage to that of the Burberry lipsticks, at a fraction of the price which is always pleasing!!

The lipstick is super moisturizing and creamy, meaning that you do need to reapply more frequently, however having an identical liner that I not only line my lips with but also fill in really does help with this and gives longer lasting colour.

I love the fact that the Loud Lips range has matching liners and lipsticks, it takes all the guess work out and makes picking a liner super easy.

Rock Candy

At £4.00 for a liner and £7.00 for a lipstick they are fantastic quality at a competitive price.
You can buy them from selected branches of Superdrug ( If your lucky enough to have the stand in your store!!) or Online direct from lookbeauty.co.uk


Have you got any favorites from Look Beauty, its a brand that I am loving more with every product I try!!

What do you recommend?
