A Dark Lip & a Neutral Eye

Hello everybody! So I decided I would share some make-up inspiration. This is my take on a neutral eye and a dark lip. For this look I primed my eyes with Benefit's creaseless cream shadow in the shade Bikini-tini. The cream product is a fab pink neutral shade and its a great base for your shadows. I got this within a set I bought from benefit and I love it.

Next I used the shadows from my Naked Basics and very lightly added the darkest shade from Wet n Wild's eye-shadow trio in Silent Treatment into my crease for more definition. For my waterline I used my nude pencil from Rimmel and for my lashes I used Benefit's They're Real. For my brows I used my double ended pencil from Sigma.

For my lips I lined them with a dark pencil from Maybelline and finished off with Mac's Rebel lipstick. Seriously the picture does not do this lipstick justice, it is has been a favourite of mine over the last few months and it suits everyone.

Let me know what your favourite lipsticks are to use for a dark lip :)

Top three holy grail products (affordable)

Hey everybody! First of I would like to you wish you all a very happy St. Patrick's day. I hope that you all had a lovely bank holiday weekend as I did. Today's post is my top three holy grail products that I could not do without that are all from chemists.

1. L'oreal true match foundation. I can honestly say that this foundation is the best I have found from the drugstore. It applies so well and blends nicely and is a medium coverage foundation that can be built. I find they have a nice shade range and I wear the shade W1 regularly and the shade W3 when I am tanning. At €14.99 you can't go wrong and this is always a repurchase for me as I have yet to find a foundation from the drugstore that competes with this.
2. Maybelline fit me concealer. This product is also another that I have repurchased because it works like a dream. I love its cute packaging but I wish the shade range was better. I use the shades 15 and 10 with 15 being lighter than 10 in my opinion. Its light weight formula covers my under eye area brilliantly but it does need a setting powder beware!
3. Rimmel scandaleyes waterproof kohl eyeliner in Nude. This is a recent enough purchase of mine but this product will benefit everybody. Its flesh tone colour instantly brightens up the look of the eye making it a perfect product for anyone who has early starts and wants to look that little bit more awake. Its waterproof and lasts forever in my opinion. I honestly believe if you have not tried at this product at least give it a try. It needs to be a staple for everyone in my opinion. 

Let me know what you think about these products or what are your holy grail products.

Review on new Wet n Wild products

I was so delighted to learn that Wet n Wild is now being sold in my home town! This is a first as where I live american brands are hard to come buy. All I need now is for somewhere to start selling NYX at a nice price. Back to Wet n Wild though, the products are reasonably priced with eye-shadow palettes starting off at €4.49 and eye-liners for €1.99. With reasonable prices I defiantly had to buy something as I am a long time subscriber on YouTube to many different American beauty vloggers. I heard good things about the Wet n Wild eye-shadow sets and their nail polishes so I did invest in some new eyeshadows. The first thing I bought was the eye-shadow trio in Silent Treatment which comes with a brow-bone colour, which is a baby pink shade, a crease shade, which is dark in colour with sparkles throughout and a eyelid colour which was a pretty mauve like shade. The pigmentation is incredible and these eye-shadows are by far some of the best I've found at such a cheap price. The colours lasted really well but I always were a primer under my shadows anyway. The colours go so well together and I wore them out for a night out with some friends and they lasted so well and when I came on my eye make-up looked perfect. These colours looked really well on and made my green eyes pop! The packaging is simple and cute and it came with some applicators but I prefer using my sigma brushes for doing my make-up. My next purchases were the colour icon glitter singles which looked to pretty not to buy. They set me back €1.99 each. I picked up the shades Bleached and Brass. The first reminded me of a fairy like glitter and the second is like a gold glitter. When I opened them to swatch I wasn't overly impressed with them sadly! They look amazing in the pan but they don't swatch as well as I had hoped and they were difficult to remove as are any glitter products are. They also felt slippery and I don't think that these will look well on the eyes to be perfectly honest and they don't layer well but having said that the packaging at the back said that these can be used anywhere and I think that they will get some use for fancy dress when I can exaggerate my look. Over all I give a huge thumbs up for the trio eye-shadow palette I bought but sadly a thumbs down on the glitters as I cant think of a good use for them. Becca xo
