Trying something new

Tonight I thought I would have a play with colour, I usually do bridal, day, evening looks nothing too wacky so I thought I'd try some really bright shades. I'm loving all the bright colours and nail polishes that are around at the moment so I thought why not have a play with some of the bright neon shades in my bargain eye palette.

Not a look I'd wear to tesco but pretty colours, reminds me of a sunset!

Then I thought I'd try something similar to one of the MAC trends for this years V festival and do a black and gold smoky eye, again using my bargain eye palette.

The MAC look is more dark all around the eye, where as I wanted to try and do a more wearable version!

What do you think of these two looks?

Chanel

I'm really into golds, peaches and coral colours at the moment I think they are so pretty and summery.

I'm loving this Chanel compact in 79 spices

I love these shades for a natural, soft look also great for brides. 

Sleek

I've heard lots of good reports about Sleek, an affordable makeup range available in Superdrug. So I decided to try 2 products from their range.

The first one is this eye palette in Storm

It has some great colours including 3 matte shades. You can use them wet or dry. I have used them dry and the colours are great, there can be quite a bit of product fall down with the dark colours so maybe do eyes first then you don't disturb your foundation.

A great price at £6.49 for 12 shades, well worth a try!

The other Sleek product I bought is the Face contour kit in Light. I love love love this product a gorgeous matte bronzer perfect for fair complexions and a shimmery highlighter (which is a little light for me personally) Also available in medium and dark. RRP £6.50

Stila smoky eye the talking palette

This palette I received last year for my birthday and have used it almost every day.

As you move it the eye closes

Guess which colour I use the most??



This palette is so versatile from a soft day look through to a night time full on smoky eye. Through the day I use the lightest colour as my base, the 2nd colour in my crease and either the 3rd or last colour along the lashline and underneath as a soft liner. The third colour I also use sometimes with a MAC 266 brush through my brows (for a night time look)

The palette does talk (even a year on!) but be warned once you press it, you can't stop it lol!

My bargain eye palette

This is my bargain eye palette. (Excuse the camera :0/)

I bought it with very low expectations due to the price, but decided to have a play and these are some of the looks I created.

I found the pigment to be pretty good, there was a bit of product fall down but overall I was pretty impressed!

Others products used in these looks are:
Estee lauder doublewear light foundation
MAC brow pencil - Fling
MAC Lip liner - Subculture
MAC lipstick - Angel

Both looks have strip lashes applied.
