Natural Makeup Look

Hey all,

I did some experimenting with the 17 makeup trio and decided to do a makeup look.
Here's some pictures of the makeup look, I went for a really natural and everyday look as I wanted something I could wear to uni and on a day to day basis. I'm not a hard core makeup person but have recently been experimenting and trying out new products.

 
For the eyes I used the Light brown shade on the lid and then used the darker brown on the crease and outer v. Using a fluffy brush I blended out the brown. I then used the Champaign colour beneath my brow and used 17 make your Mark felt tip eyeliner to create a winged out effect. I used a bronze jumbo stick by LA colours and used this in my water line. Here I hadn't used mascara yet.
 
In this picture I use Clinique's high impact mascara in black and then for a second coat I used No7 exquisite curl.
 
For the face I used Max factors second skin foundation in 075 Golden just on my cheeks as that is the area I feel needs foundation and this evens the tone and colour of my face. I blend this out evenly and then use the 17 hid away concealer. This product is highly talked of in the YouTube world so I thought I'd give it a go and can honestly say it works wonders and is an overall great product.
 
I then use no7 Fanomenal eye palette and use the two pink colours as a highlight on my nose, cheek bones and cupids bow.  The lipstick is Lancôme's colour fever beige everyday in no 204. It is a gorgeous colour and I paired it with Lancôme's Color Fever Gloss. And finally I have Mac Pink Swoon on my cheeks!
 
Here are some pictures
 

Vintage Clutch/Purse

Hey all,

A while ago I found this beautiful yet simple clutch in my mum's closet hidden away and I had never seen it and while I was looking for something I came across it and immediately fell in love with it. Its an all black leather clutch with silver dainty collar tips on the corners which I think makes it so cool and seems on trend right now.

Its also very spacious and has a lot of compartments for various things and is pretty nice. I've been using it lately and is a favourite at the moment.

Here's some pictures!

Drugstore Haul and Dupes

Hey guys,

Here's my drugstore Haul!

So I've been wanting to try out more drugstore makeup and came across the 17 brand so I thought I would give it a try. I bought a few items and was quite pleased with my purchases as I found some dupes.

An absolute favourite makeup item of mine is the L'Oreal Paris superliner carbon gloss eyeliner pen and I wanted to try out the 17 Make Your Mark felt tip eyeliner and was quite surprised as it is quite good. Its helps with a precise and clean flick and application similar to the L'Oreal Paris superliner especially for someone like me who has a shaky hand and needs something like this.

Also I found the 17 In The Nude trio pot which is a somewhat smaller and travel sized pot for the Urban Decay Naked Palette as it contains three colours two browns and a lovely champagne colour which is great for everyday makeup looks which is similar to the context of the Naked Palette. Its easy to chuck in your bag if you don't have enough time in the mornings as its a great size and very affordable.


Here's a picture of the eye shadow trio above and the swatches on my hand!















Check out my new post for a makeup look using this eye shadow trio.
