Brown Glam Eyeshadow Look

Hey my lovelies, I hope you're all well and are having a good day wherever you are in the world.

Today I have an eyeshadow look, it's a brown, shimmer, glam night look. I wore this look Saturday 29th, as I went to my local pub for a Halloween Party. I wasn't dressing up for Halloween, I wanted to look glam not scary so I thought this look would be perfect.




I used one eyeshadow palette for this look and that is the I Heart Chocolate Palette from the brand I Heart Make-Up which is a sister brand of Make-Up Revolution. This palette is basically a dupe of the Two Faced Chocolate Bar Palette, and a good one at that, it even has a slight scent of chocolate.

First off I started with my base that will prime to make the eyeshadow give its best colour pay off, last longer and apply smooth for the base I used Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer and then Rimmel Stay Matte Translucent Powder to set.


I always start with a transition shade that I apply just above my crease and in my crease, the shade I used for that is Thank Friday, I find it the perfect for the transition shade, then in my crease just below the first shade I applied the shade pleasure girl. I then applied my lid shade which is You Need More, to make this shade more intense on my lid I sprayed some setting spray on my eyeshadow brush then picked up the colour on the brush. To deepen crease, inner corner and outer V of my eye I used the shade Stolen Chocolate on a small pencil brush. Then I got the shade Pleasure girl again and applied it in my crease, which helps to blend all the shades together and then I get the first shade Thank friday and go over the part where I first applied this shade to make sure the eyeshadow transitions from light to dark outside, in. Then for my brow bone I used You Need Love which is a matte cream shadow, and this highlights that area. For my bottom lash line I used Thank Friday first, then Pleasure Girl over top with You Need More focused in the very middle.

I then did winged eyeliner with the Revlon Colour Stay Liquid Eye Pen and applied my mascara the Maybelline Lash Sensational. I was running low on my mascara so my lashes weren't as black and coated as I'd like them to be, and as I went heavy with the shadows I needed my lashes to be big so I use false ones which was the Ardell Wispies. My lipstick I used was the Sleep Matte Me Lip Cream in the shade Velvet Slipper, I'm obsessed with this colour!


I hope you like this eyeshadow look, its a very easy but pretty glam look and I love it. Did you dress up for Halloween? If you did what did you dress up as?

Make-Up Revolution Ultra 32 Palette Review

Hey my lovelies, I hope you're all well and are having a good day wherever you are in the world.

I have reviewed 3 of the Make-Up Revolution Ultra 32 Eyeshadow Palettes. I bought these almost a year ago now, and I find myself reaching for these the most out of all my palettes so now I'm back to blogging, I feel these palettes deserve a review post. There are 8 palettes in this range and I got the Flawless, Flawless Mattes and Beyond  Flawless palettes, they're priced at £8 each.



The actual palette packaging itself is very sturdy, sleek, black and glossy which I find it looks very professional and looks more expensive than what it actually is. And with it being glossy, the palette wouldn't get very messy and grubby looking as it's easily wiped away which is good. It also comes with a big mirror, that's always a must with an eyeshadow palette. The only thing I wish it did have was the names of the shades printed underneath each shadow, it does come with a plastic protective sheet on top with all the names on but that is easily lost which annoys me but that doesn't matter that much.

The Flawless and Beyond Flawless palettes have a range of mattes, shimmer and glitter shades, the Flawless and Flawless Matte palettes have all the same shades, except one is all matte (duh!) and the other one has a mix of mattes, shimmers and glitters. They're perfect every day palettes, that can make from neutral eye shadow looks to dramatic eye shadow looks, the Beyond Flawless palette is slightly different with more of a selection of golds, burgundy and purple shades.

Make-Up Revolution is one of, well literally my favourite drugstore brand for make-up, especially when it comes to their eye shadows! They never fail to amaze me with their palettes, they're always so consistent and nicely impressive, especially with the prices of them. They're so inexpensive, I mean 32 great quality shadows for only £8, how can you not love them?!

The shadows themselves are very buttery to touch, nicely pigmented, little fall out, very easy to apply and are quite long lasting. Obviously they're not as rich and pigmented as high-end brands such as Urban Decay, Anastasia Beverley Hills etc. but for a Drugstore brand they're most definitely one of the best quality when it comes to eye shadows.

So if your on a small-ish budget and are looking for a decent palette with a wide range of shadow shades and textures then trust me these Ultra 32 Eye Shadow Palettes by Make-Up Revolution would be perfect, I would 110% recommend these palettes for everyone. And I'm hoping to get the remaining 5 palettes from this range to add to my collection.


(Top palette - Flawless Mattes. Middle palette - Flawless. Bottom Palette - Beyond Flawless)

I hope you enjoyed this post, and I hope it was helpful for you in someway. Please leave a comment or contact me on my social media if you have any questions or requests. Thank you. MWAH.

My Everyday Eye Shadow Look


Hey my lovelies, I hope you're all well and are having a good day wherever you are in the world. Today's post is my everyday eye shadow look, it's fairly natural and bronzed, I love it.

The past couple of months I've been venturing out and doing more on my everyday make-up routine, before it would just be eyeliner, mascara and brows but now I'm doing eye shadow looks which my favorite is using browns and purples as these colors help green eyes pop which is what I have and purple is also my favorite color.

The palette I used for this look its my Soap & Glory The Perfect Ten, it has 10 shades and is my favorite palette, if you want to hear more about it I did a review here.

First up I apply Vanilla, a matte cream shade all over my lid as a base to help all the other colors show more. Then I apply my main lid color Pink T, a matte soft pink. In my crease I use Aubersheen, a soft brown shimmer and then to darken the crease a little more I use Black Gold, a matte charcoal color on my outer V so the outer corners on my eyes. Then I'd go over with a clean fluffy brush and blend the edges. That's my eye shadow over with, I then get a brown eyeliner which is the No7 Stay Perfect Amazing Eyes Pencil and draw a line as close to me lashes and then blend it out as this really makes my eyes pop. Usually if I can't be bothered with eye shadow I would just use this brown eye liner with mascara obviously and a black eye liner on my upper water line I love this effect as it makes my lashes to fuller, I feel bare when I don't do that.

Well that's my everyday eye shadow look that compliments my eye color, I hope you liked it and maybe you would try it out. I think a soft brown smokey eye is perfect for everyday use.

Dress Link Haul & Review

(Image credit to Google Images and DressLink.com)

Hey my lovelies, I hope you're all well and are having a good day wherever you are in the world. For today's post I have a review of the site Dress Link, I discovered this site from watching a YouTube video which I can't remember what one is was now.

As I am a make-up lover, I had a little collection of make-up brushes and I was in need of more to ass to my collection. As on my wishlist I posted a while back I have my eye on the Zoeva brushes but while I saved for them I was on the look out for a cheap collection which is when I came across this very cheap priced site. I looked up more reviews of this on YouTube to make sure it was safe and trusted which it was so away I ordered.

I made my order on March 19th and had received it by March 24th, I was so shocked at how quick the delivery was as it was all the way from china and I was informed that delivery was from 5 to 20 days so I didn't expect it for a least 10 days. I got a 32 Make-Up Brush Set costing £6.55 20 Make-Up Brush Set costing £3.60, 10 Make-Up Brush Set costing £4.91 and a 15 Cream Concealer Palette costing £2.21 so as a total it come to £17.34, I paid more for the delivery than I did for the products as delivery was £20.89. I was informed once I made the order that my order may be packaged in several packages but they had all been in the same package.

The quality of brushes are very good considering the cheap prices they are, they're soft and feel nice to use on the face. They do have a smell to them like a factory and synthetic smell but I don't find it a bother, they can easily be washed to take the smell away. I would definitely buy from Dress Link again as my first experience was better than I'd expected which made me very impressed as reviews I'd seen online we're all very mixed, but from my experience I would recommend the site and the products as being so cheap in price it's definitely worth it, it's all whether you'd pay for the delivery as that isn't so cheap.
