Natural Pretty Valentine's Day Makeup Look

Hey guys, Valentine's day is coming up soon so I decided to do a really natural pretty day look for during the day. Let me know if you also want me to do a dark smokier look for Valentine's night. So here is the daytime look: 

Products Used:

• Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation 
• Collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer
• Kiko soft light powder (02)
• Bourjois' Délice de Soleil Bronzing Powder (14 Olive/Tanned Skin)(to bronze face)
• 17 Blush (first kiss)
• Claire's Accessories eye shadow palette (the colours I used and what I did with them will be shown after the products used section)
• 17 eyeliner pencil (brown) (to line the waterline and tight line)
• Eyelash curlers
• Maybelline The Falsies (black drama)
• Soap & Glory lipstick (the missing pink)

I got this eye shadow palette in Claire's Accessories a while back and I'm not sure if you can still get it, but there are only three colours I am using from it which you can easily dupe. I chose to use this palette because the colours are really pretty and shimmery and, if it is still available, it is really cheap (less than €12)

• For this look I took, from the second row across L-R (the pink row), the second colour from the bottom, which is a gorgeous purple-y pink colour, and put it all across the lid.
• Next I took, from the fifth row across (the gold row), the second colour from the bottom, which is a really shimmery gold and used it on the outer half of my eye and in the crease.
• Lastly I took the brown colour (from the same row as the gold colour, fourth from the bottom) and put in in the outer corner and up towards my crease. I also brought it under the eye.

You can use any pink, gold and brown eye shadows you have to achieve this look, you don't have to buy this palette.

I hope you liked this post. I'm sorry the looks never come out that pigmented on my camera but I'm trying to figure out if there is any setting or lighting that will help to show the look in the same way they look in real life so hopefully the pictures in next post will come out better. Let me know in the comments below if you want me to do a darker, smokier makeup look for Valentine's night for if you were going out to dinner or drinks or having a girls night out.

NOTD | Black and Gold Metallic Nails

Hey Guys! Today i'm going to be a bit more adventurous with my nails, using black crackle glaze over gold nail varnish to create this cool metallic look. I really like the idea of crackle glaze because it looks like you have spent a lot more time on your nails then you actually have. If you don't know how crackle glaze works, you start off by painting a base colour (like I did with the gold), wait for it to dry, and then just paint the crackle glaze straight over it. (it's a simple as that) Then some of the crackle glaze will crack off you nails on its own and leave them looking like this design in the picture above.

I got this Angelica Crackle Glaze in the colour Black Crackle in Pennys for only around €2 so it's great value for money. The Gold Catrice nail varnish is no. 650 Goldfinger and is Limited Edition (just under €2) but you could use any gold nail varnish to achieve this look. You could also use the crackle glaze over any other colour that you like. Both red and silver are colours that I think would look really cool :) 

You can buy Angelica nail varnishes at any Pennys (Primark). Barry M also do a crackle glaze that can produce a similar effect and it can be bought at most Boots Stores or you can click here to buy it on Amazon.
