Won't let this happen again so major update today coming up. Not been out or done a look for ages so when I next do there'll be a post for that. Until then I thought I'd update you on a few of my new buys and the products I've been using. So let's crack straight on.
As you can see the colour is fairly yellowy so I'd probably recommend this more for someone with and NW skin tone so that it blends in better. At first, I really wasn't sure about the colour of this as it is a lot darker than my natural skintone. However, when I'd put foundation on you couldn't even tell that this was an issue because it blends right in. I put this under my eyes and on top of my cheekbones and find it gives a really nice dewy finish to the skin, as well as making dark circles under my eyes less prominent. A great product to use, think I might try another shade soon though to see if that fits my skintone better.
I love a good lipliner and so I've been expanding my collection. I now have three staples, a purple, red and natural colour. Dervish is one I use for every day or when I'm using a pink lipstick. Liners are fab because they stop your lippie from ending up all over your face and also add dimension to your lips. Today I'm wearing just Dervish alone all over my lips with some lipgloss, so they are great to wear alone for a mega matte look or with a gloss over the top. I usually pair Currant with Rebel or Heroine lipstick and I think it's my favourite of the three, packed with colour. Redd is great to use with Ruby Woo or even a pinkier red like Impassioned. I'd thoroughly recommend using lip liner for anyone considering it, they're a massive help and there are lots of great colours out there.
Lastly, my FAVOURITE new toy which I have been waiting forever for! I'm so in love with my Naked 2 palette it's untrue. I'm a massive fan of a brown smokey eye as we all know and now I have just the kit to do it. I apologise for these photos being sideways, it's being annoying and won't allow me to rotate them, grrr. In comparison to Naked, the colours are a lot more neutral and wearable in my opinion. It's great for both an every day not too done up look as well as fab night looks and major smokey eyes.
You have shades in the palettelike Foxy and Bootycall which act as great base colours and highlights. Tease is a fab matte brown which I love to use in the crease of my eye. Half Baked and Chopper are beautiful metallic tones to make any eye pop.
I love Snakebite, which is a shimmery brown and often use it in my outer v or under my lashline for a more subtle look. Verve is great for your inner corner as it is a subtle silver so brightens the eye. Pistol is my second favourite colour in the palette. A mid grey which is great if you want to try out dark eyes but don't like them to look too dark. YDK is a gorgeous sparkly bronze which looks great in summer and Suspect also makes a good base to start from for any eye look.
Finally we have Busted and Blackout. Busted is my absolute FAVEEEE colour in the palette, a gorgeous dark brown which goes great with any kind of eye make up look you're after. I use it often on it's own when I want some eye shadow on but don't want anything dramatic. Blackout is your standard matte black, a necessity in any make up fan's kit.
All of the colours in the palette are mega blendable and easy to use. You don't need a how to guide to use this kit it's that simple. Just have a play about with colours and more often than not, I find that an eye look comes together all by itself. The palette is THAT good! I also love that it comes with a double ended brush, both making application and blending easy peasy. I love this palette so much and would recommend it to anybody who can't afford to buy solo eyeshadows but wants a complete kit that's ready to go for any event you need. My palette came with a free Urban Decay mini lip gloss in Naked, which is a nice little treat and easy to wear gloss that looks great slicked over your favourite lippie.
Hope you enjoyed having a look at my new goodies. I'll have a look posted up soon no doubt with these products all being used. Now back to some last minute sunbathing for me while Manchester still has good weather!
