What's In My Mac Quad?

Image
  My Mac quad is my most used, most loved palette in my collection (okay... alongside my Naked Basics palette). It has my perfect everyday shades but also can be layered up to create lots of different dramatic eye looks. Starting top left is the shade Texture- This warm, orange toned brown with slight flecks of shimmer is perfect for anyone with brown or hazel eyes as an all over wash on the lid and blended into the crease. Top right is the shade Espresso - It's a deep, matte ashy brown shade and I bought it in the first place as a brow filler inner, as it is a really good match for my brows, I usually use it over top of my brow gel to set them in place. It can also be used as a transition shade blended into the crease to darken up eye looks. The bottom left is my most worn shadow- All that Glitters, It is a peachy shimmery almost rose gold shade that I use almost everyday as a simple wash of colour all over the lid. Paired with ...

The Lipstick That Lasts

     Finding lipsticks that stay on all day without smudging and smearing is a chore and a half and so my excitement when I found these lippies was pretty uncontrollable. The lovely people from Born Pretty Store (link here ) were kind enough to send me these and 2 liquid lipsticks and I have fallen head over heels in love. The formula of these is all kinds of awesome, applying incredibly smoothly and then drying within seconds and staying put until removed with a hard-core make up remover, occasionally needing more like an oil-based make up remover. Alongside this, the liquid lipsticks don't feel at all dry or clingy and in fact are pretty moisturising. What isn't there to love about these products? I picked 2 shades; a nude #03 and a dark berry shade  #22. The nude is a perfect "your lips but better" pink which complements every and any make up look. The berry lippy is also such a lovely wearable shad...

Brow Artist Plumper

Image
  I recently purchased this L'Oreal Brow Artist Plumper as I was endeavouring to grow my brows out and they were beginning to get a little to unruly for my liking. This has been wonderful at locking my brows into place all day and also adding a little bit of colour to them. I have it in the shade Medium/ Dark which I have found to be the perfect colour match for my brows and it can really be built up to create a full tinted brow. It can be a little messy if you don't clean all the excess product off the wand before using it but apart from that I am loving this! Lots of love, Son x

Italy Loving

  A few holiday pics from last month with my beautiful best friend, her mum and my mum. It was honestly one of the loveliest, most relaxing and most beautiful holidays I have been on. We stayed in my friends house in Italy which was just stunning with a gorgeous view and an amazing infinity pool! We spent the week exploring the lovely nearby towns and catching a tan. All in all it was a fabulous trip and I definitely want to go back and stay there again!                 Lots of love, Son x
