NEW BEAUTY RANGE AT LIDL'S
For today's post I'm going to be talking about the New Beauty Range from Lidl's. Now I have been a huge fan of Lidl's not only because they sell a lot more cheaper grocery's or beauty products but also because of their quality as well. I personally feel that are overall they are a great supermarket that sale goods at prices which you are able to afford and love.
So when I had seen that Lidl's was about to launch their new Cien Beauty Range I was delighted and couldn't wait to get my hands on some of the new products. Like most woman out their I am a addicted to buying beauty products.
The range consists of Makeup such as Mascara, Eyeshadows, Lipglosses, Lipsticks, Nail Polish and BB Creams, they also sale a variety of Beauty Products such as Face-Masks, Exfoliating Face Wash, Hand Creams, Facial Care Products and a range of Hair Care Products too.
I ended up buying a couple of products from the range which I am going to share with......
First up i bought this Cien Eye-Makeup Remover, this is combined with Lotus Flower and Silk. I love buying Eye Removing products as I find it quite difficult in removing eye makeup just before going to bed. But since using this remover it works brilliantly in removing all eye makeup including waterproof mascara and eyeliner,
This is also a really clever product from Lidls, general with other makeup removal products you usually have to dispense it by poring the product out on to a cotton pad. But with this product you simply get your cotton pad, place it on top of the dispenser and push down. The pad will automatically absorb the eye-makeup remover without any spillage and then gentle apply to your eye area.
I bought this for €1.99 which was super cheap, but honestly have to say it works wonders in removing my eye makeup without no irritation. Since using this in my night-time face care routine i am no longer waking up with panda eyes!!
Next up I bought these Cien Pure Facemask's, as a huge fan of pamper day's i love to use face masks at least once or twice a week. So when I seen these I just had to try them out. I decided to buy a Cleansing Mask with Zinc and White Clay and also Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Mask with Grape Seed and Hyaluronic Acid.
Since purchasing them I have tried out the Pure Cleansing Mask which is amazing, this exfoliates to remove dead skin cells and refines the skin's appearance. I like to apply the mask using a foundation brush as it applies more easily to the face, I then leave it on for around 10-15 minutes and then rinse with lukewarm water. These masks are fantastic at keeping your face clean and very much clear, i love how soft they leave my skin when iv'e used it, and what's even better with these Cien Facemasks you get two applications which you can use whenever you want. Also the price doesn't sound too bad either at only 49cent,
Another product I decided to try out was this Cien BB Cream which is an All-in-One Blemish Balm Cream. I decided to get the Medium to Dark Shade as i have quite a dark complexion. This really is a gorgeous BB Cream, I have used different brands before but this has got to be one of my favourites as it gilds on really well to the skin and the coverage is amazing.
Its a fantastic product which Conceals, Smooth's the Complexion and offers 24 hour Skin Hydration. The formula includes SPF 15 to protect the skin too. Now that we are in Summer I like to use a BB Cream instead of a heavy foundation and this simply works in given great coverage which looks like you are actually wearing foundation. Also if i was going on a night out i would just add some of the BB Cream to my Foundation for an extra bit of Coverage.
I bought this BB Cream for only €2.99 which is incredible value for such a great product. i will have a full review on this product coming up later on this month on the blog!!
Another product that I picked up was this Cien UV Colour Protect Conditioner, as I have coloured hair I love to use a conditioner that protects my colour every time I wash it, This leaves your hair feeling incredible Soft and Smooth, also the colour is really vibrant after i have conditioned my hair, I bought this for only €1.25 which was amazing value, i can't wait to try the rest of the hair care products from the Cien Range.
There is a huge collection of products available from the New Cien Beauty Range which include a range of Lipticks priced at €2.49, meaning you can experiment with colour without having to break the bank. They also have a range of Lipglosses too that are based off the latest trends.
Lipsticks €2.49
Great nails are the finishing touch to any stylish look and Lidl has paid a lot of attention to this with Nail Polishes as little as €1.99, so by adding a pop of colour with the shades Berry, Red or Metallic Shades or just keep things neutral with this French Mani hue.
Nail Polish's €1.99
From Smoky Brown to Nude Eye Shadows, Lidl's has a perfect range of shades to suit any Day or Nightime Look, all you have to do is pick the shade you want!! Lidl's has nailed the colour schemes and the prices too at at only €1.99 each.
Eyeshadows €1.99
Lidl's hair care section has been covered with the Cien Range for a couple of years now, but now they follow in Penney's Footsteps at introducing a profession range of products. The four products include a Profession Shampoo, Conditioner, Intensive Hair Mask and a Heat Protection Spray which are infused with Keratin just like most other pricier products on the market.
Hair Care Shampoo/Conditioner €1.69, Repair Mask €1.79
The Hair Collection is specifically formulated to help protect your hair and fight elements like Sun Exposure, Pollution and Heated Styling Tools to keep your hair in tip top condition.
I hope you guys enjoyed this post on some of the exciting Beauty Products which are now available in Lidl Stores Now. I'm looking forward to trying out the rest of the range really soon!!
MAKE-MONDAY: EVERYDAY/WORK LOOK!!
So for today Make-up Monday's blog post I'm going to share with you this quick NATURAL EVERYDAY/WORK LOOK that I do each morning before heading off to work!!
So as i do be in quite a rush in the mornings i try to go for look that is both natural and quick!!
If you want to know how I get this Make-up Look just right, then just keep scrolling down the page:
So after washing my hair and all that good stuff, i dive straight into doing my Make-up for the day ahead, now this look I go for is a look I've been using for the past couple of months but since summer has begun I have toned it down a bit as some days in the office it gets a little too warm and the last think i want is sweat removing my foundation!!
First I apply this new product which i'm loving at the minute and that is NIVEA DAILY ESSENTIALS EXPRESS HYDRATION PRIMER, which provides an even and smooth base to apply your make-up on, and it also helps your make-up stay on too which i love!! I actually love applying this on my face in the mornings as its really light and absorbs really well into my skin!!
Next its Foundation, like always the foundation I use is the MAYBELLINE SUPERSTAY BETTER SKIN FOUNDATION in the shade 021 NUDE, but since its summer i have decided to mix it with a hint of REVLON'S PHOTOREADY SKINLIGHTS FACE ILLUMINATOR in the shade 100 BARE LIGHT, this gives a great sunkissed glow to my face.
I like to apply this using my Foundation Sponge as it gives great coverage to my face even in them hard to reach areas such as in between my nose and the corners of my eyes.
Once I've applied my Foundation I then apply some Powder to my face, the one that i'm using is from THE NATURAL COLLECTION, which is the Netural Translusent Shade. I like applying this to my face as it sets the Foundation and also the powder helps with preventing the Makeup to be removed if sweat outbreaks occur!!
Next on to Brows, I'm a big lover of Brows i just can't seem to get enough of them!! As i do be in a rush in the mornings, i just grab my ESSENCE BLACK BROW DESIGNER PENCIL and shade in and around my brows, i then take my spool and bled the shade into my brow creating a natural look!! Not to dark and not to light is my little saying when it comes to shading in those brows!!
I then move on to a little Contouring, now usually for Contouring i would use my CROWN 10 COLOUR CONCEALER PALETTE which contain a cream textured concealers. Now with it been early morning i don't get much time to contour my face as much as i would like too. So that's where a handy BRONZER comes in, the one that i'm using at the moment is the MAXI DELIGHT BRONZER FROM BOURJOIS in the shade 02 Olive/Tanned Skin.
I just use my contouring brush and apply a strong amount of strokes to my cheekbones to create a dark consistency and I also apply it to the different areas that i want to stand out on my face such as the sides of my Nose, my Hair-line and my Jaw Line!! Then to finish off i then apply a little BLUSHER to the apples of my Cheeks, the Blusher i am using here is LANCOME'S SUBTIL LONG LASTING POWDER BLUSH in the shade 02 Rose Sable!!
Now on to my EYESHADE......
So keeping my look nice and natural, i like to apply Brown Shades when creating an everyday look, especially when going to work, you can't get it wrong.... so first i have applied this Cream shade from my YOUNGBLOOD MOULIN ROUGH PALETTE (shade Revue) to my upper brow line.
Next i then apply this gorgeous Brown Shimmer Shade from BOURJOIS (shade 77 Taupe paillettes) to my eye lids, I have been in love with this colour for a while now, its just such a lovely warm shade to have on my eyes and its really natural too!!
On to applying some Eyeliner, there is never a day that i don't wear eyeliner (when going to bed of course) but on an everyday look I like to apply this to my lower lash line and to my top lash line like so, i just feel it gives your eyes a nice dramatic look to them, the eyeliner i use is THE LONG LASTING EYE PENCIL BY ESSENCE, in the shade 01 Black Fever!!
I also apply some Mascara to my lashes, but up first i like to curl them followed by applying my favourite Mascara which is BOURJOIS VOLUME GLAMOUR ULTRA CARE MASCARA to them!!
And to finish off this beautiful look, i like to apply a natural Lipstick, but before i apply my lipstick, i firstly like to apply a Lip Liner Pencil around the line of my bottom & top lip to give more definition and a little bit of a pout look to them.
Then i apply my Lipstick which is from the ESSENCE MATT FINISH RANGE in the shade 07 Natural Beauty, i actually like this shade as its really natural and can work to per-fect a beautiful Everyday/Work look!!!
So that is it guys for my MAKE-MONDAY blog post on A NATURAL EVERYDAY/WORK LOOK!!
MY TRIP TO THE COSMETIC OUTLET, MEATH STREET DUBLIN 8
So on Saturday, I decided to do some shopping in town which was mostly for Make-up Products in a shop called The Cosmetic Outlet!! Here's the story....A few days ago I was having a look around Facebook and I came across a page called 'The Cosmetic Outlet', the shop is located on Meath Street in Dublin 8 or better known as The Liberties. So I decided to pop up and have a look at some of the products that they supply!!
On my arrival to the shop, I was greeted by a load of make-up products such as Eyeshadow Palettes, Make-up Brushes, Contour Palettes, Blusher Palettes, Tanning Products and a load more other make-up products too. Also the shop supplied a range of brands such as Rimmel, Benefit, L'Oreal, Max Factor and other brands too which was fantastic!!
As per usually when it comes to looking at make-up, I tend to look at every product before making my mind up as to what I want to buy in my case...I wanted EVERYTHING...but my budget wasn't that big to buy EVERYTHING!! :-( One thing I do have to say is that this is the shop to go to if you want great offers on Make-up, I love it and I will no doubt be back visiting again really soon. Also the staff were really nice and helpful too which I love to see!! :-)
NOW ON TO WHAT I BOUGHT!!
So here is what I bought at 'The Cosmetic Outlet'.
Up first I bought this BRONZING POWDER by BOURJOIS, I absolutely love Bourjois Make-up products. I have been using their Eyeshadow Pots and Blushers for the past few years, but I never used their bronzer before, so I'm looking forward to start using it!!
When I first seen this product, it looked like a book and then when you open it, it looks like four squares of Chocolate and smells like it too. The bronzer is a real natural shade which I love. I bought this for €5.00 which was fantastic as some other shops that sell this tend to charge a lot more!!
Next I then bought this CAMOUFLAGE KIT CREAM CONCEALER PALETTE by W7. I bought this basically to try it out on my skin as i rarely every buy concealer ( I only every buy the Cover Stick which I find great). But when I seen this, I just decided I would give it a go.
In the CAMOUFLAGE KIT you get five different shades in total. The shades that are in the palette would suit Light and Medium Skin tones, but you could mix two shades together to match your skin tone. The palette comes with an inside mirror and also an application brush too.
I bought this Palette for only €5.00 which was incredible cheap for such a good product. I will be doing a review on this in the next couple of weeks so make sure to Check it out!!
I then bought this W7 IN THE BUFF NATURAL NUDES EYE COLOUR PALETTE. In some ways this looks quite similar to the 'Naked Palette' by Urban Decay but way more cheaper at just €10.00 as the Naked Palette can cost around €44.00 here in Ireland.
It consists of 12 Neutral and Nude shades, 9 Shimmer/Satin Shades and 3 mattes. It has a great mix of very wearable eyeshadows and there is not one shade in the palette that I do not like.
The eyeshadow's are surprisingly 'highly pigmented', which is fantastic as I love shades that have a great depth of colour. I can't wait to start using this palette in my Make-up Tutorials and creating everyday make-up looks!!
From left to right here is a list of the shades that are in this palette:
Left-Right: Buff, Camel, Sand, Dust, Chocolate, Topaz, Earth, Storm, Silk, Wave, Thunder, Onyx
The final Item I bought from 'The Cosmetic Outlet' was these gorgeous MADISON PROFESSIONAL MAKE-UP BRUSHES, which are made with Natural Hair.
In the set I got 7 brushes in total including this beautiful Leather Brush Bag which is fantastic as you can bring them with you if your going travelling or on holiday!! I bought the whole set for only €20.00 which was fantastic for such a gorgeous set of brushes!!
The brushes included our:
LARGE POWDER BRUSH
FLAT FOUNDATION BRUSH
LARGE EYE-SHADOW BRUSH
STIPPLING BRUSH
SMALL EYE-SHADOW BRUSH
LIP BRUSH
ANGLED EYE-SHADOW BRUSH
On to some more Make-up products that I bought in a different shop (I can't remember the name).
The first product I bought was this MATCH 2 COVER CONCEALER by ESSENCE which I bought for only €2.00 BARGAIN!!
This Cover Concealer has a cream texture which I can not wait to try out!!
Next I bought 2 of these MINI LIPGLOSS SET'S by ESSENCE for only €1.00 each. I actually bought these 2 to put in my GIVEAWAY that I'm going to be doing for my blog. I haven't yet decided when I'm going to be doing it, but do CHECK BACK to my blog to keep uptodate with it!!
The final two products I bought was MY BASE ILLUMINATING MAKE-UP BASE by ESSENCE and MY BASE SKIN PERFECTION MAKE-UP BASE which is also by ESSENCE, I bought both of these for only €2.00 each.
'MY BASE' ILLUMINATING MAKE-UP BASE
'MY BASE' SKIN PERFECTION MAKE-UP BASE

Next on to defining my Brows, first i apply My Designer Brow Pencil by Essence around the outline of my brow, i then fill in both brows using an Angle Brow Brush and a Black Eyeshadow Shade in my case i'm using Bourjois (Shade 06). I'm finding this is a perfect way of defining my brows as this technique really works...go try it!!
Next i apply some Loose Powder by Natural Collection, I love using this powder on my face as it reduces shine to give a more natural matte finish to my skin. I also apply some Natural Bronzer (Shade 022 Sun Bronze) by Rimmel to my cheekbones to give my skin that flawless look.
Now on to creating that ST PADDY'S DAY Eyeshadow Look...first i use this Light Mint Green Shade from my Perfect Colour Palette which i apply to my upper brow bone.
I then take this Orange Shade and apply to the corners of my eye bringing the shade out half way on to my eyelid.
Next keeping with the ST PADDY'S DAY LOOK, i now apply this Paris Green Shade to the edge of my eyelid joining it up with the Orange Shade.
I then take my Smokey Eye Brush and apply this Shamrock Green Shade to the crease of eye creating a Smokey Look or should i say a 'Smokey Green Look' to my eyes.
To make the eyes look a little dramatic i then apply some Exaggerate Liquid Eye Liner by Rimmel (Shade 003 Glossy Black) to my upper eye line and then for my bottom eye line i then apply my Long Lasting Eye Line Pencil by Essence (Shade 01 Black Fever).
Next i apply some Mascara which is Volumizer Mascara by Bourjois to give my Lashes some much needed voloume.
I also apply some Blush using my Blusher Brush to my cheeks which is by Bourjois (Shade 54 Rose Frisson).
Finally i apply some High Gloss (Shade 13 Berry) which is by Estee Lauder to my Lips, i love using lip glosses rather than Lip Stick as i find it keeps my lips incredible soft.
And that's MY ST PADDY'S DAY MAKEUP LOOK!!

NEW BEAUTY RANGE AT LIDL'S
For today's post I'm going to be talking about the New Beauty Range from Lidl's. Now I have been a huge fan of Lidl's not only because they sell a lot more cheaper grocery's or beauty products but also because of their quality as well. I personally feel that are overall they are a great supermarket that sale goods at prices which you are able to afford and love.

I like to apply this using my Foundation Sponge as it gives great coverage to my face even in them hard to reach areas such as in between my nose and the corners of my eyes.
Once I've applied my Foundation I then apply some Powder to my face, the one that i'm using is from THE NATURAL COLLECTION, which is the Netural Translusent Shade. I like applying this to my face as it sets the Foundation and also the powder helps with preventing the Makeup to be removed if sweat outbreaks occur!!
Next on to Brows, I'm a big lover of Brows i just can't seem to get enough of them!! As i do be in a rush in the mornings, i just grab my ESSENCE BLACK BROW DESIGNER PENCIL and shade in and around my brows, i then take my spool and bled the shade into my brow creating a natural look!! Not to dark and not to light is my little saying when it comes to shading in those brows!!
I then move on to a little Contouring, now usually for Contouring i would use my CROWN 10 COLOUR CONCEALER PALETTE which contain a cream textured concealers. Now with it been early morning i don't get much time to contour my face as much as i would like too. So that's where a handy BRONZER comes in, the one that i'm using at the moment is the MAXI DELIGHT BRONZER FROM BOURJOIS in the shade 02 Olive/Tanned Skin.
I just use my contouring brush and apply a strong amount of strokes to my cheekbones to create a dark consistency and I also apply it to the different areas that i want to stand out on my face such as the sides of my Nose, my Hair-line and my Jaw Line!! Then to finish off i then apply a little BLUSHER to the apples of my Cheeks, the Blusher i am using here is LANCOME'S SUBTIL LONG LASTING POWDER BLUSH in the shade 02 Rose Sable!!
Now on to my EYESHADE......
So keeping my look nice and natural, i like to apply Brown Shades when creating an everyday look, especially when going to work, you can't get it wrong.... so first i have applied this Cream shade from my YOUNGBLOOD MOULIN ROUGH PALETTE (shade Revue) to my upper brow line.
Next i then apply this gorgeous Brown Shimmer Shade from BOURJOIS (shade 77 Taupe paillettes) to my eye lids, I have been in love with this colour for a while now, its just such a lovely warm shade to have on my eyes and its really natural too!!
On to applying some Eyeliner, there is never a day that i don't wear eyeliner (when going to bed of course) but on an everyday look I like to apply this to my lower lash line and to my top lash line like so, i just feel it gives your eyes a nice dramatic look to them, the eyeliner i use is THE LONG LASTING EYE PENCIL BY ESSENCE, in the shade 01 Black Fever!!
I also apply some Mascara to my lashes, but up first i like to curl them followed by applying my favourite Mascara which is BOURJOIS VOLUME GLAMOUR ULTRA CARE MASCARA to them!!
And to finish off this beautiful look, i like to apply a natural Lipstick, but before i apply my lipstick, i firstly like to apply a Lip Liner Pencil around the line of my bottom & top lip to give more definition and a little bit of a pout look to them.
Then i apply my Lipstick which is from the ESSENCE MATT FINISH RANGE in the shade 07 Natural Beauty, i actually like this shade as its really natural and can work to per-fect a beautiful Everyday/Work look!!!
So that is it guys for my MAKE-MONDAY blog post on A NATURAL EVERYDAY/WORK LOOK!!
MY TRIP TO THE COSMETIC OUTLET, MEATH STREET DUBLIN 8
So on Saturday, I decided to do some shopping in town which was mostly for Make-up Products in a shop called The Cosmetic Outlet!! Here's the story....A few days ago I was having a look around Facebook and I came across a page called 'The Cosmetic Outlet', the shop is located on Meath Street in Dublin 8 or better known as The Liberties. So I decided to pop up and have a look at some of the products that they supply!!
On my arrival to the shop, I was greeted by a load of make-up products such as Eyeshadow Palettes, Make-up Brushes, Contour Palettes, Blusher Palettes, Tanning Products and a load more other make-up products too. Also the shop supplied a range of brands such as Rimmel, Benefit, L'Oreal, Max Factor and other brands too which was fantastic!!
As per usually when it comes to looking at make-up, I tend to look at every product before making my mind up as to what I want to buy in my case...I wanted EVERYTHING...but my budget wasn't that big to buy EVERYTHING!! :-( One thing I do have to say is that this is the shop to go to if you want great offers on Make-up, I love it and I will no doubt be back visiting again really soon. Also the staff were really nice and helpful too which I love to see!! :-)
NOW ON TO WHAT I BOUGHT!!
So here is what I bought at 'The Cosmetic Outlet'.
Up first I bought this BRONZING POWDER by BOURJOIS, I absolutely love Bourjois Make-up products. I have been using their Eyeshadow Pots and Blushers for the past few years, but I never used their bronzer before, so I'm looking forward to start using it!!
When I first seen this product, it looked like a book and then when you open it, it looks like four squares of Chocolate and smells like it too. The bronzer is a real natural shade which I love. I bought this for €5.00 which was fantastic as some other shops that sell this tend to charge a lot more!!
Next I then bought this CAMOUFLAGE KIT CREAM CONCEALER PALETTE by W7. I bought this basically to try it out on my skin as i rarely every buy concealer ( I only every buy the Cover Stick which I find great). But when I seen this, I just decided I would give it a go.
In the CAMOUFLAGE KIT you get five different shades in total. The shades that are in the palette would suit Light and Medium Skin tones, but you could mix two shades together to match your skin tone. The palette comes with an inside mirror and also an application brush too.
I bought this Palette for only €5.00 which was incredible cheap for such a good product. I will be doing a review on this in the next couple of weeks so make sure to Check it out!!
I then bought this W7 IN THE BUFF NATURAL NUDES EYE COLOUR PALETTE. In some ways this looks quite similar to the 'Naked Palette' by Urban Decay but way more cheaper at just €10.00 as the Naked Palette can cost around €44.00 here in Ireland.
It consists of 12 Neutral and Nude shades, 9 Shimmer/Satin Shades and 3 mattes. It has a great mix of very wearable eyeshadows and there is not one shade in the palette that I do not like.
The eyeshadow's are surprisingly 'highly pigmented', which is fantastic as I love shades that have a great depth of colour. I can't wait to start using this palette in my Make-up Tutorials and creating everyday make-up looks!!
From left to right here is a list of the shades that are in this palette:
Left-Right: Buff, Camel, Sand, Dust, Chocolate, Topaz, Earth, Storm, Silk, Wave, Thunder, Onyx
The final Item I bought from 'The Cosmetic Outlet' was these gorgeous MADISON PROFESSIONAL MAKE-UP BRUSHES, which are made with Natural Hair.
In the set I got 7 brushes in total including this beautiful Leather Brush Bag which is fantastic as you can bring them with you if your going travelling or on holiday!! I bought the whole set for only €20.00 which was fantastic for such a gorgeous set of brushes!!
The brushes included our:
LARGE POWDER BRUSH
FLAT FOUNDATION BRUSH
LARGE EYE-SHADOW BRUSH
STIPPLING BRUSH
SMALL EYE-SHADOW BRUSH
LIP BRUSH
ANGLED EYE-SHADOW BRUSH
On to some more Make-up products that I bought in a different shop (I can't remember the name).
The first product I bought was this MATCH 2 COVER CONCEALER by ESSENCE which I bought for only €2.00 BARGAIN!!
This Cover Concealer has a cream texture which I can not wait to try out!!
Next I bought 2 of these MINI LIPGLOSS SET'S by ESSENCE for only €1.00 each. I actually bought these 2 to put in my GIVEAWAY that I'm going to be doing for my blog. I haven't yet decided when I'm going to be doing it, but do CHECK BACK to my blog to keep uptodate with it!!
The final two products I bought was MY BASE ILLUMINATING MAKE-UP BASE by ESSENCE and MY BASE SKIN PERFECTION MAKE-UP BASE which is also by ESSENCE, I bought both of these for only €2.00 each.
'MY BASE' ILLUMINATING MAKE-UP BASE
'MY BASE' SKIN PERFECTION MAKE-UP BASE

Next on to defining my Brows, first i apply My Designer Brow Pencil by Essence around the outline of my brow, i then fill in both brows using an Angle Brow Brush and a Black Eyeshadow Shade in my case i'm using Bourjois (Shade 06). I'm finding this is a perfect way of defining my brows as this technique really works...go try it!!
Next i apply some Loose Powder by Natural Collection, I love using this powder on my face as it reduces shine to give a more natural matte finish to my skin. I also apply some Natural Bronzer (Shade 022 Sun Bronze) by Rimmel to my cheekbones to give my skin that flawless look.
Now on to creating that ST PADDY'S DAY Eyeshadow Look...first i use this Light Mint Green Shade from my Perfect Colour Palette which i apply to my upper brow bone.
I then take this Orange Shade and apply to the corners of my eye bringing the shade out half way on to my eyelid.
Next keeping with the ST PADDY'S DAY LOOK, i now apply this Paris Green Shade to the edge of my eyelid joining it up with the Orange Shade.
I then take my Smokey Eye Brush and apply this Shamrock Green Shade to the crease of eye creating a Smokey Look or should i say a 'Smokey Green Look' to my eyes.
To make the eyes look a little dramatic i then apply some Exaggerate Liquid Eye Liner by Rimmel (Shade 003 Glossy Black) to my upper eye line and then for my bottom eye line i then apply my Long Lasting Eye Line Pencil by Essence (Shade 01 Black Fever).
Next i apply some Mascara which is Volumizer Mascara by Bourjois to give my Lashes some much needed voloume.
I also apply some Blush using my Blusher Brush to my cheeks which is by Bourjois (Shade 54 Rose Frisson).
Finally i apply some High Gloss (Shade 13 Berry) which is by Estee Lauder to my Lips, i love using lip glosses rather than Lip Stick as i find it keeps my lips incredible soft.
And that's MY ST PADDY'S DAY MAKEUP LOOK!!
This is the makeup look I've been using for my day time look throughout January,
as its a day time look I like to keep it really simple!! Below I'll be leaving a tutorial on
how to get this look, I will also be leaving Information on the makeup products I've
used too!!
So here we go...
First I apply some Concealer, the one I'm using is 'So Perfect Stay Coverstick' by Miss Sporty.
This is not only a really good concealer but very much affordable too. After I've applied my
concealer I then apply my foundation, over the last couple of months I've been mixing two
foundations together to create a Natural Shade. One is Photogenic Ultra Confort by Lancôme
Shade 03 Beige Diaphane and the other is Dream Satin Liquid by Maybelline Shade 004 Light Porcelain.
Next I then define my Brows using my Designer Brow Pencil by Essence.
I then apply some Neutral Translucent Loose Powder by Natural Collection to my face, this type of
powder reduces the shine to give a more natural matte finish to my skin. When it comes
to applying Blusher, I like to create a two-tone look. I start off by applying a darker shade of
blush which is by Bourjois Shade 22 Tomette D'Or to the apples of my cheeks (to find the
apples of your cheeks do a fish face look, it works for me!!). To get that two-tone look, I then
apply a lighter blush which is by Bourjois Shade 54 Rose Frisson to my cheeks
(smile while applying it).
On to creating that simple eyeshadow look, I like to use warm shades as we're still in winter.
I start off by applying a warm Cream Shade from my Perfect Colour Palette to my
upper brow bone.
I then apply this Warm Violet Shade which is also from my Perfect Colour Palette, using
an eye applicator i then apply the shade to my eyelids.
Next I then take a Blending Brush and apply a Darker Violet Shade to the crease of my eye
blending it along my eyelid creating a smokey day-time eye look.
I then apply some Liquid Eyeliner by Essence to my top eye lid and some Long Lasting
Eyeliner by Essence to my bottom eye line.
To finish off my look I then apply some Doll Eyes Mascara By Lancôme to my Lashes and
some Lip Gloss by Estée Lauder Shade 10 Rose to my lips to give that overall day time look.
And there you have it my MY SIMPLE JANUARY MAKE-UP LOOK!!

And there you have it my MY SIMPLE JANUARY MAKE-UP LOOK!!
Here i will be sharing with all you guys my take on an EVERYDAY MAKEUP TUTORIAL FOR SCHOOL!! Now it's been 9 years since I finished school and back then we were kinda able to wear as much makeup as we liked. But now a days schools are a lot more strict when it comes to wearing makeup, i personally feel that you want a simple yet natural look....you don't want to look like your going on a night out do you!! So with the help of my beautiful cousin Amy who is a 4th Year student I'm going to share with all you guys this really simple Everyday Makeup Look for School!! So listen up students....
First I'm going to start off by using Essence Coverstick to conceal blemishes, dark circles and other imperfections on the face. I then take this really light liquid mousse Foundation By Rimmel Stay Matte (Shade 010 Light Porcelain) and apply to the face using a Foundation Sponge. Next i then apply some Loose Powder by Natural Collection (Neutral Translucent) to the face which reduces shine to give a more natural finish.
On to defining the Brows, I have been using this technique for a while now which works. When it comes to defining the brows I find Brow Pencils the easiest. For this look I start off by using Brow Brush, i then take a Brown Brow Pencil and lightly shade over the brow. Next I then massage the brow with a cotton bud this blends the Brown Shade into the brow and it will leave the brow looking more natural. After that take your Brow Brush again and style your brows.
To add a little colour to the face I then apply a little Blusher by Bourjois (Shade 54 Rose Frisson) to the cheeks.
As its a School Look, I want to keep the overall Eye Look very simple yet adding a bit of colour. So first I apply a White Shade from my Perfect Colour Palette to the upper eye (brow bone).
I then apply this Light Pink Shade again from my Perfect Colour Palette to the Eyelid, this shade I feel is perfect for an Everyday School Look!!
Next I then apply a little Eyeliner which is Long Lasting Eye Pencil by Essence to the bottom eye line and some 'Doll Eyes' Mascara to the lashes which is by Lancôme.
To finish off that EVERYDAY MAKEUP LOOK FOR SCHOOL, I then apply Nivea Caregloss and Shine to the Lips. This is quite handy to keep in your pocket in school as it not only leaves your lips looking glossy but leaves them super soft too!!

So first i applied my foundation. For this look I decided to mix 2 foundations, one is my usually foundation which is Dream Satin Liquid by Maybelline Shade 004 Light Porcelain and the other is Lancome Photogenic Ultra Confort Shade 03 beige.
After I have applied my foundation, I then applied some Blush which is by Bourjois Shade 54 Frosted Rose.
Next I then defined my Brows using my Brow Designer Pencil by Essence. I then applied a Cream Shade to my upper brow bone which is by Isa Dora.
I then applied this gorgeous Gold Shade which is from my Colour Workshop Kit to my eyelid using an eye applicator. I then applied some Black Liquid Eyeliner by Essence to my top eyeline creating a black cut crease.
To get that smokey look I then took a Black Shade which is by Bourjois Shade 06, I applied this using my Smokey Eye Brush by Essence.
Next i then applied some Eyeliner to my bottom eyeline which is by Essence and some Mascara which is by Lancôme 'Doll Eyes'.
To finish off my look, I then applied some Red Lipstick which is by Lancôme to give that overall festive look!!
Glitter Eyes with a Black Cut Crease!!
Here it goes.....
So after applying my normal routine of Foundation, Compact Powder, Blusher and defining my Brows. Now its time to start on my eyes....
First I apply a Light Eyeshadow to my Brow Bone, I'm using the Shade Honeymoon from my Lancôme Color Design Pallet.
Next I then apply Lancôme Color Design Eyeshadow Gloss Shade 510 Holly Blue, to my eyelid. I find this eyeshadow really good when it comes to creating 'Glitter Eyes' as this eyeshadow has a sticky texture which will help the Glitter sit perfectly on my eye lids. After I've applied the eyeshadow I then apply some Liquid Eyeliner by Essence to my Upper Lash Line, just to give my eyes a more dramatic look.
Next I then apply the Glitter/Shimmer to my Eyelids, this is a bit of a messy job. I apply this by using an eye applicator as I find it more easier. Before applying it I decided to place a tissue under my eyelashes so that none of the Glitter/Shimmer would get any where near my face.
Next on to creating that Black Cut Crease, for this I used a Black Eyeshadow by Bourjois Shade 06. First I wanted to create a Smokey sort of look to accompany the Glitter Eyes, I did this by using my Smokey Eyes Brush by Essence. Then on to creating that Black Cut Crease, using the Black Eyeshadow and an Angled Crease Brush I then created a more defined crease cut by applying long strokes. (if you need a bit of guidance on this, use a Liquid Eyeliner to create a Cut Crease Line)
Next I then applied some Eyeliner by Essence (Shade 01 Black Fever) to my bottom Eyeline and also some Volumizer Mascara by Bourjois to my lashes. To finish off the look I then applied some Lipgloss by Lancôme L'Absolu Crème De Brillance Lipgloss (Shade 357 Rose Mythique).
I hope you all liked my Make-up Look....Glitter Eyes with a Black Cut Crease!!
Make-up Routine for the Day!!
Step 1 First I mix my Foundation which is Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid with my moisturiser which is Garnier Moisture Match. I then apply my moisturiser first and then the foundation, I then massage it into my face targeting areas such as my forehead, chin and cheekbones.
Step 2 I then apply Isa Dora Mineral Foundation Powder (06 Medium Biscuit) which gives great coverage to your skin, I apply this using a basic bronzer brush all over my face. I then apply Max Factor Natural Minerals Bronzer (01 Sun Powder) to my T zone and to my cheekbones as well. It also gives a lovely natural bronze look to your face. To finish off the look of my face I then apply blusher which is from Bourjois (34 Golden Rose) to my cheekbones using a blusher brush to give a lot more colour to my cheeks.
Step 3 Next I then use Essence Eyebrow Pencil (01 Black) and apply it too my eyebrows to define them. I lightly apply the pencil over my brows to enhance and refine the shape of my brows.
Step 4 Next I then apply my eye shadow from my Lancôme Holiday Eye Shadow Palette.
First I apply the shade Honeymoon (a creamy shade) to the upper part of my eye.
Next I apply the shade Rapturous (a soft pink shade) to my eye lid.
Finally I apply the Magnificent Lavender shade (dark purple shade) to the corner of my eyelids and I then start to blend the colour into the centre of my eye leaving a little smoky look, not too much as its a day time look.
Step 5 I then apply my favourite eyeliner by Essence (01 Black Fever), I apply it real softly under my eye for a real defining look to my eyes.
Step 6 Next I then apply my Mascara Lancôme 'Doll Eyes' Mascara to my lashes for more definition.
Step 7 Finally I apply Bourjois Effect 3D Lip Gloss, which leaves your lips feeling soft and looking really glossy.

After I've applied my concealer I then apply my foundation using a Foundation Brush, over the last couple of months I've been mixing two foundations together to create a Natural Shade.

powder reduces the shine to give a more natural matte finish to my skin.
On to creating that eyeshadow look, I start off by applying this Soft Pink Shade from my Perfect Colour Palette to my upper brow bone. (Sorry if you can't see this shade on my brow bone it's because the room was a bit too bright)
I then apply this Light Pink which is also from my Perfect Colour Palette, using
an eye applicator i then apply the shade to my eyelids.
I then apply this Bright Pink which is from my Perfect Colour Palette, using
a Blending Brush to the crease whilst blending it in over my eyelids.

Next I then apply some Black Eyeliner by Essence to my bottom Eyeline and some Lancôme Mascara to my Lashes to give some Volume.
I then apply some Blush to my cheekbones using a Blusher Brush to give that overall look, the blusher I'm using is by Bourjois Shade 54 Rose Frisson....heres a quick tip (to find the apples of your cheeks do a fish face look, it works for me!!).
To finish off the look, I then apply some Lipstick by Estée Lauder Shade Pink Champagne to my Lips, I also apply this High Gloss by Estée Lauder Shade 10 Rose to my lips to make them look more glossy.
QUICK & EASY MAKEUP LOOK!!
(Before applying your foundation do apply some concealer if you need too)
So first I start off by applying my Foundation, throughout this month I have been mixing 2 foundations, one is my usually foundation which is Dream Satin Liquid by Maybelline Shade 004 Light Porcelain and the other is Lancome Photogenic Ultra Confort Shade 03 beige. I also applied some Compact Powder by Essence Shade 04 Perfect Beige to my face to give that overall perfect finish.
Then I define my Brows using my Designer Brow Pencil by Essence, I am forever talking about this pencil but it is absolutely brilliant for my brows so I would highly recommend it.
Next I then apply some Blush, I like to do a two tone blusher look on my face. First I apply the Darker Blush by Bourjois Shade 22 Tomette D'or to my face highlighting my cheekbone. I then take my Lighter Blush which is also by Bourjois Shade 54 Rose Frisson and apply to my cheeks.
On to my Eye Look, as I want to keep the look really festive I decided to introduce some Warm Copper Shades from my Pretty Pink Palette. First I applied a Cream Shade to my Brow Bone, I then applied a Light Copper Shade to my Eyelid along with a slightly Darker Shade to the crease of eye.
To finished off the look, I applied some Eyeliner to my bottom Eyeline which is by Essence, then some Mascara to my Lashes which is "Doll Eyes" by Lancôme. For my Lips I applied this really nice Rose Shade which is 118 Bois De Rose by Estée Lauder.
Step 1 First I applied a small amount of Foundation to my eyelid, next I then apply a creamy shade from my PrettyPink Eye Pallet to my eyelid.
Step 2 Next I apply Lancôme Colour Design Glowing Eyeshadow Gloss (510 Holly Blue) to my eyelid with an eye applicator.
Step 3 I then take a blending brush and apply Bourjois eye shadow (dark grey shade) to the crease of my eyelid. I firstly start at the corner of my eyelid and rotate the brush in a circular motion, then blend across the crease and the rest of my eyelid like so.
Step 4 Next I then apply a Blue shade from my PrettyPink Pallet over the crease of my eye with a blending brush, just to give that Midnight Blue look.
Step 5 Then take an angled eyeliner brush and apply some of the blue shade under your eye to give a dramatic look to your eyes.
Step 6 I then apply a liquid eyeliner which is from Essence. Try and apply this as straight as you can, I like to apply a thick line to my upper lash line to give good definition to my eyes.
Step 7 Next I apply Essence Long Lasting Eyeliner to my bottom lash line.
Step 8 Finally to finish off the look I then use Lancôme 'Definicils' Mascara which I apply to my lashes. With this type of mascara it shapes and defines to create longer looking, beautiful lashes from base to tip.
Here our some of the products I used for steps 6, 7 & 8
And Ta'da.....Here's my Midnight Blue Eye-Shadow Look!!
So here is my version of a Summer Turquoise Smokey Eye look, below you will find a step by step tutorial on how to get this gorgeous summer look.
First I'm going to start off with what I use on my face, I use Maybelline Dream Sati Liquid (light porcelain 004) because it gives a real air-brush finish. Now that its summer I like to mix my foundation with the moisturiser I'm using, which is Garnier Moisture Match SPF20, because it gives your face a tint of both foundation & moisturiser. Next I use Isadora Mineral Foundation Powder (06 medium biscuit) along with some blusher to finish off my look by Bourjois Blush (34 Rose D'or).
Here is some of the make-up products I used to create the look...
This is the colour pallet I will be using it is from Argos and its called 'Pretty Pink' the shades in which I'm using our a soft white shade, a baby blue shade and a turquoise shade.
I'm also using a dark brown shade to give that real depth of a Smokey look.
I'm also using Lancôme Hypnose 'Doll Eyes' Mascara, Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil and Essence Liquid Eyeliner.
My Step by Step Guide
Step 1 First apply a primer to your eyelids ( in my case I didn't have any left, so I had to use a tiny bit of foundation as a base coat)
Step 2 Then apply the soft white shade around your eyelid and to the top part of your eye with your eye shadow brush.
Step 3 Next apply the baby blue shade using an eye shadow applicator, apply evenly around the eye lid.
Step 4 Next apply the turquoise shade using your blending brush. Start at the corner of your eye and in circular motion apply around the crease of your eyelid. Then start blending the shade around your eyelid to create a real smoky look.
Step 5 Next take the dark brown shade and apply to the crease of your eye with a blending brush.
Step 6 With your blending brush bring the turquoise shade down towards the underneath of your eye, to give that real smoky look at the edge of your eye.
Step 7 Next take a Liquid Eyeliner, the one I'm using is by Essence. Apply it to your eyelid over your lashes, try and do this really straight to give your eyes a more sleeker look
Step 8 Next apply your eyeliner to the bottom eyelid, the one I'm using is Essence Long Lasting Eyeliner which I find is brilliant.
Step 9 Then apply your mascara, the one that I'm using is Lancôme Hypnose 'Doll Eyes', which gives your eyes a doll lash effect.
To finally finish off the look I decided to apply a soft pink lip-gloss to my lips, the one that I'm using is by Estee Lauder, High Gloss, 13 Berry, which is my favourite.
and ta'da
So for today’s make up look I’ve decided to go for a super soft purple Smokey eye shadow look. I love using purple eye shadows as they tend to show off my green eyes that bit more. So for today’s blog I’m going to show you all in a step by step tutorial how you can get that soft purple Smokey eye shadow look.
So here’s what I used to achieve this look
My Active Eye Shadow Pallet
‘Next’ Midnight Eye Pallet (I will be using the shade Graphite)
Bourjois Paris 72 Ambre a Paupieres (purple shade)
Essence Multi Action False Lashes Mascara
Essence Long Lasing Eye Pencil (01 Black Fever)
Step 1 I always like to use a tiny bit of foundation around the top and bottom of my eye just to give it a base coat before I start.
Step 2 I then take my brush and use a mid-dark lilac shade from my Active eye shadow pallet. I then apply it to my eyelid and to the top part of my eye like so.
Step 3 Next I apply Bourjois Paris 72 to my eyelids.
Step 4 I then take my eye shadow brush and apply the shade Graphite (a dark grey) from my Next Midnight Eye Pallet. For this type of smokiness I like to apply this shade to the eye socket part of my eye and then smudge it up over my eye to create a real Smokey look.
Step 5 Next I apply my favourite eye liner, which is Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil. I like to create a longer eye line, by applying it deeper to the end of my eye.
Step 6 Finally I then apply Essence Multi Action False Lashes Mascara to my eyelashes, I like this type of mascara as It gives my lashes great length.
And there you have it Super Soft Purple Smokey Eyes
Here is my Soft Brown Make-up Look!! I find this make-up look really nice for a day-time look, but you could also use it as a night-time look too by applying a darker shade of Brown to give a real Smokey look to it.
So first I started off by applying my normal routine of Concealer, Foundation, Mineral Powder, Blusher and defining my brows.
For my eyes I decided to use Isa Dora Eye Shadow Quartet 51 Cappuccino.
First I started off by applying the beautiful Cream Shade to my brow bone. Next I then applied that really Light Brown Shade to my eyelid using an eye applicator.
I then applied the Dark Brown Shade to the crease of my eye, while blending it over my eyelid to give that really soft look.
Next I then applied my Eyeliner by Essence and some Volumizer Mascara by Bourjois to my lashes.
To finish off my look I then applied some Pure Color Lipstick by Estee Lauder Shade 183 Sugar Honey to my Lips.
Here is my Cranberry Make-up Look.
I find this look just right for Autumn, its a real basic shade that can work for either a day time look or a night time look. Below you can follow my guide to getting this gorgeous Make-up Look.
So first I apply some concealer to the areas I want completely covered, the concealer I'm using is Coverstick by Essence shade 03 Matt Honey. Next I then apply my foundation which is Dream Satin Liquid by Maybelline shade 004 Light Porcelain to my face. I then apply some Mattifying Compact Powder by Essence, shade 04 Perfect Beige. I love using this on my face as soon I've applied my foundation, it gives all round coverage to my face. Next I then apply some Mineral Glow Powder by KCO shade Fair, I tend to apply this to my T-Zone and to my neck area to give a bit of shading using a bronzing brush.
Next I then apply some blusher, first I apply a darker shade of blush from Bourjois shade 22 Tomette D'or I do a sort of fish face here which helps me find the apple of my cheeks . Next I then apply the lighter shade of blush from Bourjois shade 54 Rose Frisson, here I use a technique where I smile bringing the cheeks up and apply a light amount of blush just to give my cheeks a little more glow.
Next I then define my Eyebrows using my favourite Eyebrow Designer Pencil by Essence shade 01 Black. On to my eyes, for this part I'm going to be using shades from my rotating Eye Pallet by Pretty Pink. First I apply a Light Cream Shade to the top part of my eye and to the corners of my eye. Next I then apply a Light Cranberry Shade to my eyelid followed by a Dark Cranberry Shade to the crease of my eye. By using my blending brush I then blend both together, I also applied a small amount of Black from Bourjois shade 06 to the end crease of my eye just to give more definition.
Next I then apply Black Liquid Eyeliner by Essence to the top line of my eye, creating a straight line across. I then applied some Eyeliner by Essence shade 01 Black Fever to my bottom eyeline and Volumizer Mascara by Bourjois to my lashes.
To finish off the look I then applied some Pure Color Lipstick by Estee Lauder shade 183 Sugar Honey to my lips.
And here's my finished look....
I hope you all enjoyed my Cranberry Make-up Look
Here is My Smokey Royal Blue Eyeshadow look. The eyeshadow I used was Daylight Shade from my Lancome Holiday Palette which i applied to my upper brow, Shade 03 from Bourjois to my eyelid and The New Black Shade from my Lancôme Holiday Eyeshadow Palette to the crease of my eye blending it with a blending brush. To finish off my eye look I then applied some Black Liquid Eyeliner to my top eye line, some Black Pencil Eyeliner to my bottom eyeline and then I applied some Mascara which is Hypnose Doll Eyes by Lancôme.
