A Little Something Extra

Double Exposure.  I have never bought any smash box products before so when I saw this on a big display in my local Boots I was like "yes please!" I was really intrigued about the fact that you can get the shadows wet to up the vibrancy of the shadows, and it won't create that film over the shadows making them unusable. It states on the packaging that "14 shadows turn to 28-just add water to up the vibrancy, transform it to metallic or amp up the sparkle". Contains. In the Packaging you get a chart of all the shadow names and what happens to them when they are added with water, and you also get an eye chart to show you which 3 looks can be made for each individual eye shape. Top: Dry & Bottom: Wet. The swatches of the top were applied using fingertips and then the bottom half was applied with the brush provided with the palette. As you can see in the top half of the image the shadows are pigmented however a little chalky, but they do blend re...

A couple of weeks back I had gotten acrylics done and I have to say it has been the biggest palava I have ever had to deal with when it comes down to my nails. Needless to say that are now ruined and I have bought these to cover up my mistakes. Barry M, Orly & Nailene.  After hearing a lot of good review from beauty bloggers and you tubers I decided to giver Orly a try. What made me get these was the fact the I heard that the Orly bb creme, make up for nails is a really good formula for strengthening the nails and gives them moisture. I have yet to try the product however I am hopeful that it will sort out my poor damaged nails. I bought this on amazon and in the recommendations section I saw the Orly Bonder, which is a rubberized basecoat. When I saw this I was like "What? Rubberized.. what does this mean." Probably behind on the bandwagon with this but I had never hear of it. It states that it is "dubbed as a double sided sticky tape for nails that grips t...

BeautyBay Wishlist. First on my list is something that I have had my eye on for a while and it's the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade in Ash Brown . I have been really loving mixing my Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow wiz and the Laura Mercier Brow Sculpt pot together so I thought that this could be the same but within one product. It is described as a "   smudge free, creamy formula which glides effortlessly onto the skin and adheres to the brow hairs for optimal definition." So the question is to get or not to get?  Make Up Store Cake Eyeliner in Black  is in the definitely getting category for me. It goes on so smooth and dries into a soft matte. To go with this I plan on getting the  Zoeva 315 Fine Liner Brush  as with the angled design of the brush I hope to create a precise liner application, and hopefully have both sides equal.. well we shall have to see about that one I think. Next onto the two Too Faced products that I am 50/50 on. First...

I know, I know, this probably isn't the first ever blog post saying how fast 2014 has just flown by, but it has. Thinking back I can't really remember what I had accomplished in 2014.... Every year I set goals for myself to eat healthy, go to the gym, create more work and every year I manage to do some however I never stick to it, and end up recycling the same old goals for the year following. So I'm scrapping these goals and deciding that I shall begin to live life to the full for my final year of university Get Up Earlier.  Ok, so its winter here in the Uk, and getting out of a very comfortable warm bed while its freezing isn't the most attractive thought... However while I was living with my grandparents over Xmas break I asked my grandfather to wake my up every morning at 8am. To some of you that might not be early for your day to day lives however for a bed hermit such as myself, getting up at 8am is quite a big thing. So, while at university, no longer will I ...
