MAKEUP: Taylor Momsen Inspired

Hey guys and dolls,

OK so I was totally unprepared this week, and had no posts planned. So I decided to do a  quick make up look, based off of one of the actors/characters from Gossip Girl. I've been wanting to do this ever since I finished re-watching the series. The person I got inspired by was Taylor Momsen (Jenny Humphrey). Her look is very grungy, and as her character developed that look slowly made it's way onto the show. I really loved how this turned out. So if you want to know how I did this, keep on reading.

COPYCAT MAKEUP: Kendall Jenner

Hey guys and dolls,

I love when I can look at someones make up and be completely inspired. Scrolling through Instagram I came across this image of Kendall Jenner. Her make up was so simple yet she looked absolutely gorgeous. And I just had to recreate it. I posted my take on the look on my Instagram page. Now I am gonna show you what I used to do it.

 Luckily I had some random gems in my make up kit, that were perfect for the look. And the same colour. I used them previously in my Carnival look.

Keep reading to find out how I recreated this look.

FASHION: BBQ OOTD

Hey guys and dolls,

Last weekend on a very sunny bank holiday weekend I attended a family friends birthday BBQ. Here is what I wore.

Makeup Monday: Sleek Garden of Eden make up look

Hey guys and dolls,

I was swatching my new products and decided to do a quick look using the new Garden Of Eden palette from Sleek. You can see my recent haul here.

Makeup Monday: Sleek Makeup Haul

Hey guys and dolls,

It's been a hot minute since I last purchased from Sleek. There was a time when I was buying from them practically every week.

LATE July Favourites

Hey dolls,

I think this is my first ever favourites post, I randomly felt like doing one. So here goes nothing.

I've only got a few items to show. but hopefully you see something that tickles your fancy and may go out and try. I will post a link to the original post of each item where applicable. Might give you the opportunity to see posts of mine that you've missed :)

 Christian Lacroix Rouge EDP - £11.99

I've been wearing this perfume a lot recently. It's great for the daytime and evening.

Argan oil - £5.99

I jumped on the Argan oil train last year and haven't gotten off. This stuff is so good for your hair.

Garnier Moisture Match -Goodbye Dry 50ml

£5.99

This is such a good facial moisturiser and I luckily haven't had any bad reactions to it. Like I tend to with quite a few moisturisers cos I have really sensitive skin.

 Finella bag - £9.99

I haven't spoken about this handbag on my blog yet. Its a new purchase from Avon and I LOVE IT! Its the perfect sized handbag and I've been wanting a tan bag for a while now. Unfortunately I got this bag in the clearance sale so its not available anymore.

Sleek Au Naturel palette - £6.49

This has been my go to palette for make up. I've been using it to create a daytime smokey eye with a bold red lip.

Ladies Shaded Scarf - £3
Another purchase that I haven't mentioned on my blog, I got this the same time as the Finella bag I mentioned. I have been a bit obsessed with scarves recently, I did a post on that here.

Barry M Gelly hi shine nail paints - £3.99

I have been obsessed with these polishes as of late. And 9 out of 10 times I've chosen one of these polishes to paint my nails with in the last month or so.

Tibu earring and necklace set - £3.50

I'm not sure if this set is still available, but I've been wearing this set every time I've gone somewhere. Its just so cute and I feel all sorts of sophisticated when I wear them. They dress up any outfit.

Rimmel apocalips lip lacquer in Big Bang - £6

I LOVE THIS!!!!!! I havent worn anything else on my lips for ages. Its like the perfect red. Its not matte but its not shiny either, its that happy medium.

Avon spectra lash - £10

My go to mascara, it makes my lashes so long and full. I have so many mascaras that I had forgotten about this one. But on a whim I picked it up and remembered just why I'd bought it. Such a good purchase. I never reviewed this product when I got it, so I will do a mini one now.

"Three lash looks in one tube. Twist up to customise you level of volume. Clump-proof and flake-proof" 

I always use it on the 3rd setting cos I'm all about the full lashes. But I love the fact that you have the 3 different settings to suit any mood/look you're going for. On the 3rd setting a lot of mascara can come out on the wand, I usually just scrape it off and carry on with my application.

Sleek Snapshots palette

Hey dolls,

The purchase of this palette was one of the biggest fails ever lol. Scroll past the lovely pics and swatches to find out why...

 Snapshots

£8

 Top Row L-R:

Summer Breeze, Martini, Kiwi Flower, Lotus Flower, Humming Bird, Tequila Sunrise

Bottom Row L-R:

Sand Walker, Washed Ashore, Sunset, Green Iguana, Purple Haze, Magenta Madness

OK So I'm angry. Not because there is anything wrong with the palette but because I spent £8 on 12 eyeshadows I already own. Each of these shadows are re-releases of eyeshadows from 2 limited edition palettes. I was not aware that sleek were re-releasing a palette of limited edition shades, it never said that on the website. But its only as I was swatching the palette and looking at the names, I kept having a sense of déjà vu. So I looked over some of my older sleek posts to come to the shocking conclusion that I owned ALL of these eyedahdows. FAIL!

My local Tesco now has a Sleek counter...YAY! Which is where I discovered that the Sleek palettes had gone up in price, only by a mere £1.51 but I paid more for something I already own, UGH!

This palette works out great for people who missed out on the Caribbean and Mediterranean collections. You can see below which shadows were from which LE palette accompanied by a link to take you to the post on said palettes.

Monaco palette:
Summer Breeze
Kiwi Flower - also known as 'Kiwi Zest' 
Lotus Flower
Humming Bird
Sand Walker
Washed Ashore
Sunset
Magenta Madness

Curacao palette:
Martini
Tequila Sunrise
Green Iguana
Purple Haze

The only difereence between the palettes is that they no longer have the old crosshatch pattern and one of the shadows had a name change.

In conclusion the Snapshots palette is a good palette, the colours and quality live up to sleeks usual standards and is great for those who never got to try the previously mentioned LE palettes.

And always rememeber to make sure you check your make up inventory before you go out to buy more products lol.
