THE PERFECT EYE SHADOW DUPES

These are a few of my alternative picks instead of the high end priced brand. These are just as good quality and are the perfect duplicates. Happy blogging B.

 This is the Urban decay naked palette that is priced at a jaw dropping £37.00. I would believe this is the palette for an aspiring make up artist. Also well known make up artists use this product. You can purchase this product and other Urban decay products at Debenhams. However the downfall on using this product is that it's very pricey so people that don't have a lot of money but still want the quality I would highly recommend using my dupe picks.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Hello B's m.u.a also know as make up academy have brought out a collection knowingly coping the naked 1 and 2 collection. This is at a more then reasonable price for a palette at only £4.00 you can purchase these at Superdrug. This is perfect because this is more compact and easier to take away with you it comes with a smudge applicator. And this is extremely pigmented. By far my favorite pallet.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

 Here is the Urban decay naked 2 palette this again is priced at £37.00. This is just from the same collection but with new shades in that specific collection. The packaging has improved by using tin instead of cardboard. But this quite often gets dent if used frequently. The better side to this palette is that they have widened the mirror so this is easier for people to see in the mirror.

 This beautifying palette is the duplicate of the Naked 2 palette. This is again from m.u.a. So it's £4.00. These are more warmer tones to get the perfect sunkissed summer look. Instead of a expensive option.

 This is the urban decay 3 palette. This costs £37.00. These colours are more pinker tones to suit all kinds of people, but again this is a more expensive option. I love all of the Urban decay palettes but the problem is the price. Yes they are a gorgeous products but they are pricey for what they are, so why not find the dupes and have all the colours, and use them for a much cheaper option.

                              

                                                                                 

This is the final dupe. Recently I have come across a really good make up brand that is not such a big brand in comparison to the well known ones. But they actually sell lovely products from their highlighters to their lipsticks and their well known for their duplicate of the naked 3 palette. I believe only £4.00 is the price. 

Tah very much for reading B's.

 How to get the perfect dotty Nail look    
 ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Hello my B's here's my first nail tutorial. Currently then trend is painting the ring finger a contrasting colour to the other fingers painted, but I wanted to do something traditional and simple. You can buy these products in any drug store. 
Here I have purchased a standard bag of cotton wool balls. These would cost a couple of pounds you can purchase these in the supermarket as well. Or on the high street. I purchased the nail varnish in Boots in the Essie section of the nail varnishes. This is in the shade Sunday Funday. This cost me £7.99. I believe that this is worth the money because it is a good quality nail varnish. It is very pigmented on the first layer and you only really need one layer. It  also doesn't leave streak marks. I have the Sally Hansen nail art pen in Light Pink. They cost £7.19. I also have the nail expert growth potion. This is available at Avon cosmetics. Also here in this picture I have a nail buffer shines the nail, and I have a cheep nail. So firstly if you have any nail varnish on remove it.

 step 1) If your nails have uneven edges or are even slightly broken off you need to even your nails out. You can do this by using a nail file. There is various methods or nail files you can purchase to get the perfect filed nail. The best one I purchased is a crystal nail file. However this broke, so I am just using an emery boards. I purchased a big pack from pound land. These are brilliant and cheep and disposable. 

 Step 2) In this step I wanted to get a even nail as well as it being shiny. You can purchase these in any pharmacy and these only cost a couple of pounds. This just makes your nails feel nice and look attractive. If you are not a fan of nail varnish and don't use any then this is a nice way to make your nail look healthier and younger. 

                                                                                                                                                                             
Step 3) In this one I have used the Avon nail expert grow potion. This is a fantastic product because it is a quick and easy way to get longer nails in a fast way. All I just did was put a dab of this on each nail and here in this picture I rubbed it into the nail and to the cuticles. 

                                                                                                                                                     Step 4) In this step I began to pain my nails 
all over with my Essie nail varnish. People have different ways on which way they paint their nails. But how I paint my nails is that I start in the middle and work my way out. In the bottom picture is the finished look with the Essie nail varnish. 

 Step 5) I then picked my Sally Hansen nail art pen in the shade Light Pink. I continued to do small dots over the whole of the nail. Depending on how you like your nail art you can have less dots but make them thicker. Also there is various designs that you can do with this nail art pen.

 Here is the finished look. Thank you for reading my B's.

     How to create this golden eye flick...enjoy


Hey B's. This is just a subtle eye that you can wear in your every day life. It's not overpowering and just a lovely look. Here's how you can create your own version of this fabulous, simple eye. You can use any thing you have that's similar to these products or you can go to  any pharmacy to purchase them. I got majority of the make up from Boots. I have the Rimmel Glam'Eyes Quad eye shadow in the coulor sun safari. This costs £6.99. 

I used this in the inner corner of the eye and just below the brow for highlighting with the white shimmery colour. I also used the dark shadow to create the shadowed winger effect in the outer corner of my eye. I used the body shop shimmer cubes in the colour 06 warm, and I only used the gold in the center of my eye and blended this outwards. This costs £16.00.

 I used this with my eco tool eye shadow brush. To get a darker flick I used the Rimmel London Scandaleyes Shadow Stick in the colour black. I used this under neeth my eye and flicked this out and then I blended this across my lid, this costs £4.49. I then took my Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Liner and put this on my upper and lower water line. This costs £3.99. Finally just to finish this look just apply your favorite mascara. I'm using the seventeen va va voom mascara. This costs £6.29. So this is how you can create the perfect every day look. Thanks for reading. Hope for more my B's. Happy blogging, love B xxx

         APRIL FAVORITES
         ...............

Hello B's here is a few of my recent purchases in April, and these are what I have fell in love with. I have heard that the summer look is to get the perfect beach waves. Or either just get the simple straight hair look to shape your hair. These GHD'S can do either of these desired hair styles because they have curved edges to create either look. This is worth £135 brand new in the Metallica collection in silver. Yes this is very expensive, but you can do some research and find the best price that fits you. 

Also what I have been loving recently in a messy bun look with a bow at the back of my head. I think this looks cute and they can hold up the loose hair. You can practically buy these in any fashion shop. I bought these in Primark and they cost £1.99. 
At the moment I adore the maybellie fit me stick because this has a very matte finish and gives me more coverage then a BB cream. 
Also this is very handy instead of using a concealer because if your foundation rubs off during the day then you can just reapply this. They have many different tones to fit everybody's skin colour. This doesn't last all day so you would have to reapply this. If you want this to stay to your skin all day then I would invest in a primer. This acts as the a glue between the moisturiser and the foundation. This costs £8.99 in a drug store. 

I have a lovely shimmery blusher by bourjois, and it's from the little round pot collection. This is perfect to go beside a contour. In a drug store this costs £7.99. This also comes with a small little brush. Another brush that I have been using every day in April is the expert face brush by real techniues. These brushes are some of many high end brushes that you can purchase in a pharmacy. These are extremely well priced for how well they perform. So these brushes are my go to brush if I need to blend or contour my face. This brush is priced at £8.99. 

Here in the picture I purchased a lovely pigmented eye mousse by No7 in the stay perfect collection. This is in the colour pewter. This sells for £9.00 full price. This is perfect for the summer look because using cream based product is better then using a powder because in the summer if you wear powdered products they can sweat off and run down your face. By using cream products then these will act as a glue on the face. Also cream products are generally waterproof. So this is perfect for going into a pool. Here is what the colour looks like on the skin.

         
                   
In my collection I bought the ultra beauty oil lotion from Garnier. This cost me £4.99 and this is deeply moisturising. I prefer this then a normal bottled lotion because this has a pump on it. Which makes it easy to pump on if you are in a rush.
A cream that I have been using at night for a deep moisture is the Nivea creme, this costs £3.78 for 200 ml. Mine is only a 50ml.

Every body loves to smell good, so what I am currently using is the Soap & Glory Scent - Sationalism Gift Set. I am using the brown bottle. This set costs £9.50. This comes along with another body spray and a moisturising mist. For perfume I am using the whister blush by ghost perfume. This costs £36.50.


For straightening my hair I have been using the VO5 Smoothly Does It Heat Protection Serum. This I love because it makes my hair feel soft and in place when I straighten it. Also this has a lovely smell, as well as it being reasonably priced at £4.19. For volume in my hair I have been using the L'Oréal Paris Studio Line #TXT Volume Supersizing Spray. This is perfect when you are teasing your hair. However this is has a strong smell. But this doesn't matter. It reminds me of hair spray...But better. 
For jewellery bought an owl-clock-pendant which cost me £10.00 at clairs. This is an adorable necklace and a perfect way to tell the time.

The candle that I have bought is the Tesco Botanicals Candle Jar Elixir. Online this costs £8.00. However I bought it reduced in the store for £4.00. This is a lovely candle. It smells of roses, and this is a big jar and will take a while to burn. So this is long lasting.

For fresh breath I have been chewing non stop the peppermint and spear mint extra gum. This costs £2.00 per tub. Also I was given a chupa chups bouquet. This is full of flavorsome lolly pops. So this you can purchase in many shops. This costs £3.00.


Here is some of my favorite things that I have gone through and these I found brilliant. So that's why I wanted to share this with you. This includes all of the ugly Betty series. My mad fat diary book. E4 has done a brilliant series of this. Also James Arthurs CD. 

To kick off a start to a new summer I added in a new pair of glasses that a got from new look. This cost £6.99 and they have many more glasses. Also Primark has good quality glasses and so does h&m. Here is my glasses collection. These are examples of vintage quality glasses from these shops. 
Sorry my B's that this was a lot of writing. So thank you for reading all of this. Love B x

 

                                 
                             l.i.p.p.y

Here are two lovely lipsticks, and these are both by rimmel. I have the Kate matte lipstick in the shade 101 £5.49. This is a lovely colour, however this is very drying to the lips so I would recommend using a lip sill before using the lipstick, and apply this lipstick over the lip sill. What I adore about this lippy is that this is very pigmented. My other favorite lipstick of this month is the rimmel London moisture renew lipstick in the shade 125, Nude  or not nude £6.49. This is a luscious lipstick with a slight shimmer. This keeps the moisture in your lips, so this is not drying at all. And it has a nice sweet smell. This is not as pigmented, but this would be perfect if your'e going for a more subtle or natural look. These lipsticks are perfect for a more natural summer look. You can purchase these products in any drug store, but these are most comely found in Super drug or Boots.

HOW TO GET THE PERFECT AQUA EYE

This is how you can get the perfect coloured eye. Here's is the products I used to create this aqua eye. I used the revlon 01 pure pearl colour stay eye shadow on the corner of my eye, and just below the brow to highlight that area. I used my colour works eye palette to cover my lid with blue. I firstly covered my lid in the 4th colour, dark blue just below the water line. I stopped about half way and blended it with the white. I then used the 7th colour, light blue above the lid and I blended it with the white so I won't get a harsh line. I also used this below the eye as well and blended it outwards. I used the body shop eyeliner on my water line and used my 17 va va voom mascara. However this did clump up a tiny bit so I used my eco tools lash and brow groomer to de-clump them. Thanks for reading my B's and I hope you can use this to create the perfect eye.

Warm Eye Effect


Hello B's. Here's how you can create a warm eye effect with long lashes. Iv'e used majority of the products here in my previous post, so if you would like to know what I have used then go to my previous post. But I am mainly looking at the Body Shop shimmer cube palette, this is high quality and costs £16.00 in the shop. This is in the colour 06 warm. You can create a perfect summer eye by using this product.Just use 02 dark chocolate on the outer corner of the lid. To open up your  you use nuance chocolat-noir on the rest of the lid. You need to cover majority of your lid with this shade. Thank you for reading my B's, plenty more ideas coming along the way. Love B xxx

           Smokey Eye winged out effect

This is my model friend, so how I create this simple smoked winged eye look on her you need to use these products:

... Wake me up concealer by rimmel £5.49 
... H&M Coca Bay Eye shadow £2.00
...Eco tools concealer brush £5.49
...Eco tools eye shadow brush comes in the 6 piece brush set £15.99
...The Body Shop eye liner £8.00
...Dior Mascara diorshow £27.00




Firstly I added the wake me up concealer underneath the eye, and then I used my concealer brush to blend it out. Then I cover her lid with the pigmented grey eye shadow. When doing this you cover the whole of the lid. To create the winged out smokey effect you need to use the dark brown.You start below the brow and blend to the corner of your eye downwards. You repeat this depending on how dark you want the smokey effect to be. Then you start below the brow, and then swipe across the eye until you reach the other corner of your eye, and blend this to shade your eye. Then grab your eyeliner and colour in your water lines. Finally reach your mascara and add this to your top and bottom lashes. Happy Blogging B xxx

My skin care routine

Hi B's I  get my products from the body shop, they are very inexpensiveness maybe a tad more expensive then a drug store brand, but they are definitely worth the price because they are better. I get the vitamin c Microdermabrasion which is worth £13 online at bodyshop.co.uk. The second product I use is the Aloe calming facial cleanser. This is worth £3. I also use the aloe toner which is worth £3. The pot contains aloe soothing day cream. This costs £4. Finally I have the vitamin c skin reviver. This is the most expensive out of the bunch. This costs online £14. Yes this is fairly pricey however I didn't pay that amount for them. Often when you shop in the store you get a £10 off when you next spend £25 pounds. The exfoliating pad from the body shop costs £4, this is not optional, you can use cotton pads instead, but I use the exfoliating pad because it has a rough surface to completely get rid of any dead skin. This is all made out of natural products and they are against animal testing. The body shop have a wide range of things from make-up to body butters. I promise this will change your face and make you feel beautiful.

 

Step 1) Pick out some cotton pads. Or you could use the exfoliating pad for this step. I'm just using cheep ones. This will be used throughout each step. For exfoliating you can use a different pad. This is an exfoliating pad from the body shop, but this pad is only for  the exfoliating step. With the other steps use cotton pads.

Step 2)Use a pad for this step. Pick up your Exfoliator. I will be using my Microdermabrasion. This is very harsh on the skin and will get rid of any dead skin and some black heads, if you have quite sensitive skin then I would advise you to use a less gritty 
exfoliator. 

Step 3)After this you need to remove the excess of the exfoliator left over. You do this by using the cleanser. You need to use another pad for this. It is very good for sensitive skin and it has a cool light texture across the face. Wipe all of the exfoliator off with the cleanser. Then dispose the pads. I am using aloe cleanser.



Step 4) A toner will be needed to shrink any pores visible to the eye and reduce the chances of blackheads getting into the pores. I will be aloe toner to reduce my pores. A pad will be needed. 







Step 5) After the toner is used I begin to add my moisturiser to keep your face soft and it helps to prevent any dryness in the skin,  by using this day cream this can be avoided. You don't need a pad but if you don't want cream on your hands then you can use a pad instead of using your hands. This is proven to help minimise the reactions of sensitive skin. 


Step 6) This is not a must follow step, but if you would like to follow this step then this needs to be applied with your hands on your face for an instant glow.




Common girls. If you would love to get the desired fresh young clean face then using this will make a difference and improve your face. You girls go natural and you will see a difference, no make-up and my skin routine will improve and revive your skin. Thanks for reading and leave any comments and I will get back to you. Thanks, B xxx
